Love and Sex in Numenera

No.31521661 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Why in a setting where the world is basically in a medieval-ish era would there be no stigma around homosexuality/transgenderism? The book does present some ways in which people of the same gender could bear offspring, but it seems like such a half-assed way to try to shove lgbt acceptance into a setting where it wouldn't probably exist.
People need to have children for humanity to spread and grow, so naturally, those who for whatever reason choose to engage in relationships that won't allow them to have children would be shunned and ostracized by society. In modern day, it's no problem what someone's orientation is because spreading and growing isn't really a thing humanity needs to do at this point in time.
The way the book hand-waves away the problem by saying some Aeon Priest created a device that allowed men to get pregnant is stupid, and brings up one of my major problems with Numenera's setting: if there are people that can reverse engineer numenera for specific purposes, why is the world still in a medieval era? You can't just go around saying that the way numenera work are just so mysterious and beyond the grasp of humans, then turn around and say that numenera can sometimes be reverse engineered for specific purposes.

I really like the idea of Numenera, but it's things like this that really turn me off from the setting.

A query most elegan/tg/entalmen,

The other day I saw a thread about an Anon who was doing a CoC SCP game. I must say I really like the idea and would love to try it in my own game. The thread 404'd and was generally quit shit, but I was hoping you could help me stat some of your favorite SCPs for a CoC game!

Smaller Scale Gaming

No.41086509 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Hey /tg/ I was wondering if anyone on here actually plays lower scale wargames in the 15/10/6mm range and would mind talking about them.

A lot of the models I've seen look great and are cheap as dirt but I'm inexperienced with what actual systems use these scales and how different the games play in comparison to something like WHFB.

I'm also having trouble searching for systems themselves made for this scale. So far I've heard of Fantasy Rules! and Warmaster, but I know this scale is also huge for historical games like Flames of War which I think is also played at this scale.

New one because autosage is used as an excuse for rampant shitposting apparently.

Still looking for builds to incorporate as companions.

What homebrew do you use? Anything from full on splats or groups to just simple house rules that you use to keep things in check. How do they change things?

If you look at Ogryn, Squats and Ratlings, it's clear the Imperium of Man has a history of recruiting near-human creatures into their ranks. But what about the eldar? Why are they so often viewed entirely as xenos when they are physically quite human, not (strictly speaking) chaos tainted and on the whole one of the few agreeable races in the 40k universe. Insofar a super-arrogant race of space-elves can be agreeable, of course. They don't seem to relish in destroying mankind, at least. Why don't the Imperium try to foster better relations to them, like they do other humanoids who aren't green or tripping the warp fantastic?
