Now that people are extra pissed at GW, can we finally push the superior game?
>>92547559All the lore is through the app now. It's like $3 dollars a month or something. That gives you the lore and the campaign stuff.
>>92511460I like how few models I'm seeing on that table.
>>92546804Which is pretty standard 40k cope. You can have a beautiful looking table but it's non-functional. Unless you put up those giant boxes in the center there is almost no capability to hide anything. So every table is essentially a giant flat plane with unlimited shooting.Even worse the terrain offers you no benefits. You can't keep anyone alive by hiding them in terrain. You can't hide any models from shooting.It's basically just line your shit up and hope the other guy doesn't shoot you off the table.Then you point out how fucking stupid the rules are and some retard says "it's beer and pretzels bro."
>>92546547>I've never seen anyone be anything but supportive of itI think that guy is a weirdo who makes gay jokes, but I don't tell him that. I guess if it wasn't facebook I likely would have chimed in with "your jokes aren't funny fag"
>>92545320When did PP have that kind of mold shift? Most of the resin I got from them during MK3 was really good. One thing they definitely do (which I think is a fair critique) is pump out a lot of low-qc shit when it's time to get the big distributor orders filled. Then they rely on their mispack system to clean it up. I get it. Small company wants to get the bills paid so throwing some misprints in the box and calling it done gets the order out the door. They will make it right. I tell them straight up to replace shit if I don't like the resin or it has even a small miscast. They replace it every time.It's not ideal but I can see why it happens. To their credit they actually got way better at printing and worked on the resin formula.It went from being objectively abysmal to really good in about a year.
why doesnt /tg/ ever come up with stuff like pic related? it's almost always just "use weapons from books and source books any attempt to make unique weapons is woke or reddit"
>>92548550>>92548597They stole this from RWBY anyway. It's not unique at all.
>>92549383Bro, you can't say that without adopting the idea first. What you're doing is theft.
>>92548550>why doesnt /tg/ ever come up with stuff like pic related?Even the most underage b& 4chan users are usually older than 13.
>>92549340It's just the inverse of a commission.
>>92549433It's not unique at all.You can come up with this stuff with a small child>I want a sword but what if.. its a GUN>And its MAGIC, its like fires uhmmm, the bullets are potions!>And there like different type of potions right? So there would be like a fire one, a cold one, a electricity one...>And maybe there is a like a super special ones too, like what about heat sealing potions?
Do dedicated healers make for an interesting mechanic?
>>92547907I was excited for it, but it either has normie tier base material or was adapted into such.
>>92544754Nechronica could be one exception, I guess. Since damage breaks parts, and parts translate directly to combat capability, healing mid-combat is basically a way to ensure your options are still open. >be a PC>get your arms chopped off in the first round>lose all your good attack parts>luckily you're a Gothic so you can just grow them back lmaoAlthough the only part repair you can get in combat is regenerating your own stuff; there are certain parts that can be used in the End Phase for repairing but those just exist to soften the impact of a particularly hairy combat, and at high threat levels are harder to justify due to how calculating repair parts works.
>>92541248yes but new players don't know that, they think doing the actual fighting = hard, likely because of preconceived notions from vidya
>>92525989
>>92547702as much as I hate the term and think it's used for too much bullshit, "flavor is free" would apply here. same goes for if you want to make hp for your barbarian "meat points" versus the rogue running out of stamina or the wizard running out of protecting magic

>>92547733The problem there isn't the Imp linos, it's the orcs. They are severely undercosted for their stats and should really be Agi 2.

Was looking for TIE Whisper builds for Xwing and came across a reddit thread discussing something the Fly Better podcast posted? It's an old post so they're using the TIE Silencer model, but how the fuck can the TIE Whisper maneuver like this? Are they retarded or is there some upgrade they're using I'm not aware of?
>>92549221Looks like a boost/roll, then decloak, then dial, then the other of boost/roll. I wouldn't know what upgrades made it possible but it's plausible they're illegal nowadays.

What's the best version of "Scholar Society" in fantasy/sci-fi? Looking for some insperation for my homebrew.For example, the Maesters of Oldtown's Citadel, or the Avowed of Candlekeep? Both of those however strike me as too plain and just "European University in a Fantasy World"-ish
>>92549048If you are paranoid about having your “discovery” stolen, why would you not publicize your achievement as quickly and as widely as possible?
The Albertian Order of Leibowitz
>>92549186It wasn't always paranoia about having your discovery stolen, sometimes it was paranoia about being found out as an alchemist at all. There will several periods of history where alchemists were basically treated like we think of witches. You do some weird shit with chemistry and people catch you burning fires in strange colors and they start getting funny ideas about why their baby was stillborn or why it hasn't rained much this year. People fear what they don't understand, and an alchemist's experiments were the closest thing to magic that people of that time could really experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPsJeL7cqtYYour peasant ass saw this shit happen in 900 AD and you'd be freaking out too.

GW Retro/Oldhammer General, "Fine, I'll do it myself" Edition>/GROG/ Pastebin:https://pastebin.com/nnNqqFLn>Previous Threads:>>92282928>>92211656
>>92547272I dunno, anon, I keep asking myself that question when I want to try and get a game of some kind from my little library going but it always falls back on "nah, don't wanna". Sometimes people just don't want to budge and just want to piss and moan instead.
>>92547371It's not this general that decides it. The terms have been set for a very long time. This is going to shock you but only Rogue Trader is Oldhammer. Middlehammer starts in 2nd edition. 3rd edition starts what some people refer to as Classichammer.All of these fall under the overall umbrella of "Retrohammer" which is a less strictly defined and more recent terminology. Most people agree retrohammer ends around year 2000 or, at the latest, at the start of 5th edition.
>>92547658>It's not this general that decides it.This is what I say every time this comes up lel. No amount of bickering here will make 2nd edition 40k Oldhammer.We are just a spot on the arse of Oldhammer compared to the forums (quite quiet these days) and the FB groups.The main FB Oldhammer Community group has been a bit mainstream "retro" for a bit but I don't care, there's smaller stricter groups and I like seeing painted stuff regardless.It is a bit of a shame though, because being part of the group 10 years ago, it felt like you were seeing the community, seeing people arrange BOYL and stuff, now it's a bit too big and faceless and full of people who don't fully understand the different definitions; and those decisions are made elsewhere. Though it's funny because there's like 15k people in it, meanwhile there'll be some group called like "40k Imperium of Man" with like 200k members with room temperature IQs putting thumbs up on the latest Guilliman meme.
>>92547371I don't know for the others but personnally, lorewise, I draw the line pre Ward era. I don't dislike everything but newcrons, primarch returns, HH kinda ruins what made 40K special for me.
>>92547371>by this general?/GROG/ is GW Retro/Oldhammer General. We have the "retro" to avoiding hitting on the "what is and what is not Oldhammer" autism in every single thread.

>>92548180really, FFG is not shit a good portion of the time. they did right with the LCG versions of netrunner and game of thrones. that's what made the L5R one so disappointing. we were hoping for an ANR-tier reboot of one of the greatest TCGs of all time. and instead we got fantasy flight's lowest effort game for 5 years in either direction, at least.
>>925486712010s FFG was assigning about 1.5 people to work on each game, they were just stretched too thin.

>>92547846>>92547839Arcane source damage is not on the menu next set (that we know of) it is instead mystical energies, which for all I've seen are considered physical damage sources. Play time they mixed those and DIDN'T provide arcane barrier was a huge mistake for limited. I don't see them doing that again here.
What have your setting's empire ever done for the people?
I want to have babies...
>>92536464They destroyed a matriarchy, for one.They also instituted slavery.
>>92536464Performed highly ethical things on the entire population.
Railroads, factories, the abolishment of slavery, and the global spread of confusing sports.Also some other things but let's not dwell on those.
>>92536464I have actually done based on something I read from Jewish writings from that period: "to whom they built the roads and body temples (sport halls)? Not for our sake, but for theirs. They extend arms, gifts in hand, as the other holds a sword bloodied with our sons. They take your money to build their baths as they raze the mikve (ceremonial bathhouse)". Basically, the empire does everything that looks good on a propaganda pamphlet- but in practice the benefits mostly go to the empire's own people, it destroys legitimate local facilities to cause shortage that they then fix with their own equivalent and all while the real reason for them being there is squeezing maximum taxes.
Palladium Games and Rifts General: Best RPA Edition. The world is a broken, post-apocalyptic wasteland destroyed by the eruption of inter-dimensional portals, rifts in the fabric of space-time and ley lines which crisscross the world. Demon & alien invaders have poured out of the rifts to destroy human civilization and claim the Earth. Now the wasteland has had 300 years to partially recover, and civilization has returned to the world; but not just human civilization: alien empires, monster kingdoms, lost time travellers, lands of mutants, demonic overlords and wizards have arisen from the ashes, all trying to rebuild the world in their own image!Talk about:>RIFTS(tm)>Heroes Unlimited>Palladium Fantasy>Beyond the Supernatural>Dead Reign>Robotech (lol)>TMNT & Other Strangeness + After the Bomb>Splicers>Nightbane>Savage RiftsComment too long.
