Oh no no no
>>97346434You're making bullshit up.Ever since the individual Great Companies were described by GW in the 5th ed codex, the Sea Wolves were described as "dark of skin and temperament"And this was before Magnus' latest invasion that decimated Fenris' civilian population that they just had to get a whole new shipment of colonists. And exterminatus another planet in the system.
>>97346898>copeThe dark skin is usually described as being 'tan,' then again...>black temperamentAh man. They're goddamn gangbangers. >"Yo, LEMAAANN wez just capped dem foolz. Baller."Well, I guess Fenris being Space Detroit does make sense... In a way that the liberal writers would be very unhappy with. Fenris will be going through a rough patch since Imperial EBT is now gone.>"The Space Wolves only see 'bangin,' 'rappin,' and 'ballin' as a way off Fenris instead of civic duty and work.">-Rebolute 'get a job' Guilliman.
>>97346898>>97346941>Fenris >Literal Space DetroitAh man. I know Geedubs was desperately hoping for Blackrock money but this is hilarious. Goddamn. The Space Wolves are the ultimate product of Nig@synthesis, even bigger than the Hateocracy of Fenrisian legend.
Fenris was a spaceship making factory settled by... Eh... Let's call them 'Zero-G Ball Columbians.' As Columbian industries were increasingly contracted out to third galactic Grot worlds, Fenris became a mega slum as all the... Hmm... Let's call them 'Golden Men,' left for better planets leaving Fenris, or as it was known at the time: Obama, in the hands of its now unemployed workforce. When the Eldar Empire fell, Planet Obama fell into further irrelevance as what was left of Aeldari investments dried up so the planet became poor as fuck. Things got so bad even the Grot H1B holders weren't setting up scam call centers and the Stryxis 24/7 owners were tired of getting robbed so they took off. Then the Age of Strife happened and most of the population starved due to EBT and food stamps no longer being available resulting in a societal decline.

Alright, I uploaded the new USA book, the Locomotive and a few others are still unfinished but I'll be putting time into it this evening and tomorrow, I'm pretty settled in what I want to do with them. Added this leader in for the Industrialist group. Unnamed Alderman from the American colonies that's be bought by a specific industry.
>>97349916And these two Structures, I found an old articule on night sky light pollution in Europe with these gravures and really wanted to use them, now the Edison Electrical Post swears a lot, so if anyone got a good picture of an old timey electrical station, ideally drawing or gravures, please post.
And finally, Denmark as been added. 12 Units for the moment, mostly Characters and Specialists. I have to clean up the weapon section in it, the Butter Broker and Eugene Warming are unfinished as well, but otherwise its playable.
Also, during a discussion last evening I was reminded of Two Years of Vacation, one of my favorite Jules Verne novel. I thought for a moment that we could make a Lost Boys mini-faction out of it, but it could also be a simple profile for the Lost Men? This has also sent me into a Barenstein Bear situation, I swear there was a French animation shows from the late 80s I used to watch all the time, and all I can find are "the Story of 15 Boys", which is an American animation based on the novel and I swear I recognize some parts but not others, and there's no way my 6~7 years old was watching this in English...
>>97349916Neat. Will the Alderman be able to be recruited alongside the mercenary businessman?>>97349940>old timey electrical stationhttps://www.meisterdrucke.ie/fine-art-prints/French-School/411603/Gallery-of-Machines-at-the-Munich-Exhibition.htmlhttps://www.meisterdrucke.ie/fine-art-prints/French-School/57035/The-French-Electrical-Machinery-Gallery-at-the-Universal-Exhibition-of-1900.htmlA bit too close to the 20th century for these, but that's what I've been able to find.>>97349958>Denmark addedAwesome. What will be their lore?
>>97350004Specially if you are from a country that does not produce their own entertainment for children. You end watching the dubbed version of old shows to the point multiple generation grew watching the same shows. Like for example me, my sisters, her daughters and my kids all grew watching Saint Seiya and Slayers for fuck sake.
>>97321858>We should go back to earlier editions>Yeah okay let's do it/go ahead>Wait it's hard to get people to do thatOkay then what's the fucking utility of this goddamned discussion?
>>97342010"trap options" are not a real thing, you subhuman tourneytrog. Every single option does what it's supposed to do: allow you to represent something from the setting on the tabletop. Anyone who has the instinct to try looking up statistical outcomes for a rule or bit of wargear should be murdered for the good of the wargaming community.
I grew up with 3e and 4e but I have a group nearby that plays 5e. Was 5e good? I'm kinda hesitant though I know nothing about 5e
>>97342010If you're not a waacfaggot that just means every option is fun and has a niche.>>97350531Worse than 3rd and 4th, but still leagues better than 10th.
I have a bit of an inane question for the peanut gallery. Do you have a favorite thing that you'd never actually play/play as?For example, I just realized that I really fucking love the Samedi/Cappadocian clan/bloodline of Vampire: The Masquerade.But I don't think I'd ever consider playing one, and I'd likely opt to play a Malkavian instead under virtually all circumstances, or a Tremere. Samedi doesn't even register on the list of characters I'd like to play, even when I do have concepts I'd include if I were the ST/GM.
>>97343390>Do you have a favorite thing that you'd never actually play/play as?Oh yeah I love women but I'd never actually roleplay as one.t. your GM for the evening
>>97343390Well, playing at all would be nice, but i won't (involuntarily)
>>97343390I love Warhammer 40,000 but I would never play a game in a store. It's homebrew and small narrative game among friends/family
A necromancer with a lot of undead minions>but muh slow combats>but muh evil>but muh balanceYeah, I know, that's why I never actually played one
>>97343390WoD is full of concepts that sounds cool in theory but would be pain to actually use at the table - half the sample characters in various vampire clanbooks. Mummy (as a cocept). >>97347332Or get bunch of weebs and run it like Zombieland Saga

>>972715031e question.I can easily find every rule or other book material available. But is there anywhere I can find a list of every character creation "step" available?Everything from skills, through drawbacks, to mythic paths in a bullet form fashion to use as a checklist when building chars.
>>97347858... isn't that just the character sheet? fill empty boxes and so on
>>97348048Not really. Most character sheets don't remind you about nicher options like race customisation, archetypes or mythic paths.
>gm wants to port an old 1e game to either 2e or savage worlds pfI have the feeling, because years ago I tried, this is going to suck. It's been years since I checked 2e but I don't think a lightning fist, metal skinned, super fast (120ft/move), super jump high and far, trip monster with 8 AoO human monk with almost no magic items (because GM doesn't use them) can be replicated in any of those games. I dunno why he doesn't just make a new game with a new plot

>>97350254Bro get over yourself. Exalted has always sold itself as a power fantasy then had its goonheaded writers undermine that special power fantasy with dumb shit like the box in addition to the actual bad writing like two factions which should be opposed working together like it's the Superfriends. Don't make some smarmy, baseless, thinly veiled insult at me for pointing out when their writing is bad
>>97350281>dumb shit like the boxWhy is the box dumb
>>97350254NTA, but despite liking the splats, those plots always came like weak excuses to justify the existence of Solaroids, specially in 3e, where the devs don't give a concrete reason for the Deathlords sharing shards with the yozis.
>>97350446We're going to get into personal opinion territory here, but the box *and* other parts of the setting that treat Exaltation as a kind of item or thing lessens it. It renders what is a blessing, a form of enlightenment, or one's own heroic reserves into something just pasted onto you. You might say "Exalted had always been like that", and that may be correct, but it's still wrong and always bothered me.
>>97350492I understand you, specially thanks for 3e, but the box gets easier to understand if you see it as a container of souls.
We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition. You are going to see horrific debasements to the thing you know and love that you will still see with your eyes closed. Every 80 IQ person with internet access will have an opinion on Warhammer without knowing what a Tau Remora Drone is.
>>97349239Rich kids can be nerds. They're sure as fuck not normal.
>>97344553>come up with a phraseOr you could learn how to use your brain to articulate your grievances with things instead of resorting to mindless spewing of catchphrases and buzzwords. It's not like it's going to be hard to shit on this stuff.
>>97344553the new era came with the gay, dei infested Space marine 2 normies
>>97345269>but i don't believe for a second THIS guy was Just Like Me(TM) at the time.FUCKING THIS!I've watched a bunch of clips of him "nerding out" and am yet to actually see him "nerd out". Everything he's done or said in relation to 40k feels so shallow and artificial, like he has nothing more then surface knowledge of it.Like the group interview where they mention 40k and someone says that they're starting a Necron army and he obviously recognises the word "Necron" as being related to 40k, but doesn't go any further then that. He doesn't ask the guy about his army/planned army or anything. Just goes "Oh, yes Necrons. Good..."And then I compare that to someone like Vin Diesel. There's an interview he did with IGN (I think) where they were asking the cast of one of the Fast and Furious movies what video games they played/were playing. All the girls said shit like angry birds and fruit ninja, the guys were like Fifa and sports games, Paul Walker said COD and Vin started talking about WoW and whether or not there would ever be another MMORPG that would reach the same level as WoW, while obviously trying to hold back from nerding out any more.
>>97346339fallout is a great setting but amazon studios seems to keep hiring writers who do not understand why fans enjoy the games and cannot write within the confines of established lore to save their livesLotR/wheel of time are both bigger sins in my eyes, but all of them have the same fault at their core which is writers that do not understand or care about portraying the setting/lore in an authentic way
>>97346305We don't price our gas in "Latin for something." I mean, do you hear us go to London and say "Oi mate, that petrol set me back five more hwathwugus than yesterday"
>>97346305Sounds like something you should take up with Keir.
>>97346305>quidWe arent talking about Keir's Britain.
>>97346305You won't need to pay for petrol, mate, your transit permit doesn't authorize you to leave your residential zone.
>>97339318The homosexuals, yes.
I need a new GOOD fantasy race to base a campaign region around.
>>97339573>>97340674They're a common enemy. Pirated versions spawn a red scorpion enemy that constantly follows the player, moves much faster than usual, and takes no damage. The game cannot be saved, and will crash randomly as well.

He is basically the antichrist.
*An Antichrist. There's no one Antichrist, stupid Westerner, it's just a cycle of strongmen doing strongmen faggotry to make things annoying for the rest of us peasants.
>>97349416The Emperor can't be Jesus because he has Judas.
>>97349107The Emperor is Jesus and the Imperial Ecclesiarchy is the Catholic Church.
>>97349107He's pic related if he had won instead of losing and freezing himself.
>>97349107>he Imperial Ecclesiarchy is the Catholic Churchi became an old fag , i miss the old days when people knew the esoteric knowledge of the settingthe Emperor is clearly depicted in the Old ones Tablets as the one who will create the primarchs in cooperation and an Old one (a tentacle connect to the old ones the other directly to a mysterious person to the embryo and the sphere represent planets while the triangles are the scattering) and scattered them all over the galaxyas we can see all the other races are directly linked to the Old Ones except for the embryo , there is another actor beside the old ones , likely the Emperor , notice each one of the Old ones and the mysterious actor all have different glyphs (probably the Annuncia)so the Emperor is an old one or an agent of the old ones and the creation of the primarchs is an Old ones Hail Mary project , one of the three depicted above the Necron's death mask , another project of thier's is the webway and the eldar laughing god harlequin face , the third is scratched and unrecognizable though speculated to be the Tyranids , an attempt to assimilate all organic life and reset the galaxy , depriving Chaos from their fuel
What are some fantasy and sci-fi movies you should watch to inspire your games and players?
>>97349202No and yes.But it's a bit more complicated:When 1d6 launched, there was an attempt to make it pozzed as fuck. There was a very strong push-back and that stopped the process. Then the cunts responsible simply left.Right now, 1d6 is pretty much 1d4 sans two or three pages. As compared with 2d4, which is abandonware AND the cunt that owns it turned out to be twice as pozzed as the cunts behind 1d6, with no end of censorship until he got bored and site is now spammed to hell by random advertising bots

>>97336974>>97338237anon who posted the list here, like 1/5 of the movies on it are probably in the realm of wuxiabut being old movies they aren't as trope dense as modern wuxia content
>>97350230>restore itBecause those were some obscure memes and nobody has a copy. They simply didn't migrate it from 1d4 when they had a copyA bunch of other shit that got cut got restored, because people simply had copies on their own.
>>97350230>>97350589Consider this:They cut the entire original approved movies list, just because. Took monumental edit war and eventually a DDoS to make them reconsider.So considerting the level of damage anticipated and how it ended, I say it's workable.2d4 meanwhile started out as 1:1 repository, but then the dumb fuck who set it up went with a machete across the pages, slashing whatever he felt like it, and openly saying that fuck keeping old shit, time to update.Which is why 2d4 is now run by Korean spam bots, I guess
I want to make a character who specializes in gathering information. Basically I want to know everything and everybody, or to be able to quickly learn about something or somebody when that isn't the case.I'm not sure how to go about it. Obviously with a design goal as broad as that, this is not the kind of character that I expect to be fully realized straight out of chargen. Face skills seem like a nobrainer starting off, but what would be the best thing to focus on after that?Also Shadowrun thread. The character is for 5e using basic priority chargen.
I know there's Everyone Is John, is there anything like picrel? A lighter Fiasco-style game, mixed with Monster of the Week? (Ideally not PbtA please.)Also what are /tg/'s thoughts on SP? Both the comic and the movie.
>>97344560Just use OVA.
>97346725>obviously wrong and contradictory takeIt's all so tiresome
>>97348405>too much of a bitch to reply and make a real argument. Fiasco is for telling stories where some big plan goes sideways. Monster of the Week is PBTA for Scooby-Doo capers, usually supernatural mysteries. Sluglaster is FITD (PBTA-adjacent) gonzo, 80s themed sci-fi about cool kids doing hoverboard tricks. None of them emulate Scott Pilgrim.
>>97349178I give you points for not doubling down on your bitchiness and actually providing reasons this time. You're underselling MotW as Scooby-Doo. It features serialized mysteries themed around investigating and taking down the titular monster of the week, but unlike with the mystery gang that shit is assumed to be real. It's not just Barry the janitor in an animatronic, there's legit supernatural stuff going on. Fuck, even the players can use magic. That's practically the same thing as a serialized sequence of urban fantasy mysteries/fights against seven deadly exes. I mean it's literally based off fucking BtVS, if you can't see the similarities there then I'm afraid I can't help you.Likewise with Slugblasters, "cool kids do X supernatural shit while dealing with mundane life drama" is literally Scott Pilgrim.You're bang on about fiasco not emulating SP. That's the only kudos I can give your retardation, however. Frankly I preferred thinking of you as malicious.
>>97350001MotW having actual supernatural shit does not make it a good fit for Scott Pilgrim. It's not "practically the same thing" just because there's some magic. It's also PBTA which OP specified he does not want.Slugblaster, likewise, is a poor fit. It's all gadgets and robots and "HEY REMEMBER THE 80s/90s?!" but it's a FITD game, which means it's about staging heists and adventures and trying not to fuck everything up. The FITD component already disqualifies it again. It's just clocks and handwaving shit, like most FITD games are. Scott Pilgrim isn't cool kids doing supernatural shit. It's painfully mundane outside of the fights, which was kind of the entire point. Scott can't fist fight his way into a healthy relationship and until he realizes that, he'll continue to be a fucking loser and an asshole. If you want big combat in between hyperbolic 20-something relationship drama, both are a bad fit.

>>97351234>Eclipse is [great] in every detail. >Fuck bagsah, mixed messaging, my favorite
>>97350915I haven't received the new Arkwright yet but did get the updated copy of Big Shoulders.The new Big Shoulders is exactly the same as the old version except there's a new solo mode that no one should ever subject themselves to, an updated board layout, and the advance supply chain variant. The advance supply chain balances the game - you don't have to worry about someone getting soaked at the start because of random resources but you also are going to be cash poor at the end so you can't spam payouts to boost your stocks and drop money in your pockets like you could in the OG.Are there other games that have surpassed them? I think Big Shoulders surpassed Arkwright when it came out but not sure if the Anniversary Edition will have enough changes to flip that. I don't think there's a game out right now that is a better investment Euro than either of those. I do have high hopes that Stellar Ventures will do it but that looks a couple years out and looks like it's devolving into a cube rails game.
