>>>DRAWTHREAD RULES<<<

>Everyone
• PLEASE BUMP THE THREAD IF IT REACHES PAGE 10!

>Requesters:
• Provide good, detailed references (pictures are better than verbal descriptions), so the artists know what you're looking for.
• If you have a WIP quote the Anchor Post, and attach the WIP so your Drawfag can find you.
• Do not reply to other deliveries with a request that the artist fill your request next. This is called 'piggybacking'.
• Do not make multiple requests in the same thread and do not serially request multiple characters after a delivery. Suggesting several concepts for artists to choose from counts as making multiple requests.
• If you're unsatisfied with your completed request, please wait at least one week before you re-request. If someone follows this rule, don't waste posts by complaining about it.
• Don't critique others' requests. If you don't like it, ignore it.
• Don't waste replies harassing artists or attention whores
• Stay on topic

My party and I are going to spend the gold from our first quest on a large wagon. Aside from the obvious advantages of easier travel, being able to haul more loot, and having a flat elevated surface to throw down our sleeping bags at night, what are some ways we can make the most of this beautiful piece of equipment?
Ideas I have so far:
>Mounting shields on the sides to provide cover in combat
>Mounted heavy crossbow turret for medieval drive bys
>At higher levels, swapping out the ox for a flying creature to convert it into a mini-airship

if you want some utility out of the wagon, search for chuckwagon - they had a built-in cabinet at the rear (for food and other ingredients), and the lid could be lowered to obtain a table - not so good anymore to transport things since the cabinet is in the way, but it was very easy to set up camp.
Also a water barrel and some storage boxes at the sides, a tarp that could be extended to cover the cooking area, a tarp below the wagon to transport firewood and keep it dry, and so on.

Writing General: 'orcs, ogres and all things evil' (continuation) edition.

Welcome to /wg/, the thread for all /tg/ related writing. Whether you're plotting your campaign, trying to come up with a character backstory, or just trying to write some setting fluff, this is the place to post it. You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.

As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here. We also have flash-fiction challenges from time to time.

There's a discord for writers here
https://discord.gg/6AwKHGF

The previous thread can still be found in the archive here

I'm struggling to come up with religions and cultural norms for a book I'm writing about two royal kids who end up stranded in a country inspired by Arabia as depicted in 'Azur and Asmart'.
The country they come from (they were raised abroad for safety reason so they don't actually know all the stuff that happened there yet) mostly work by 'Fisher King' rules where the climate and ressources change drastically depending on the ruler (and as a recent development is basically dying due to the kids being unknowingly the only surviving royals and thus there's no legitimate ruler).
Any advice beyond copy pasting islam for the arabia-like kingdom?
The country the protags are in use Arab and Persian names while their 'home country' use Gaulish and Gaelic names if that helps.

More TTRPGs should use the GIFT attribute.

It represents Appearance, Charisma, Spirit and Luck. While in most games these are separate dump stat attributes and/or advantages you can separately buy, in games with GIFT they all come in a nice package that makes the attribute useful and not just something you can mindlessly put leave at a minimum.

Possible uses: reaction rolls, social rolls, animal and wild rolls, magic rolls (casting spells, using some martial techniques, using some itens and objects, getting that sword out of that rock, etc), bonus experience on character creation, being the default roll for whenever you don't know what to roll, etc.

With GIFT, your character is built different ;^)

I'm struggling to understand why tabletop gaming and particularly wargames like Warhammer can be so pricey. I've found that to start playing I need to shell out around $300-500 just to get a single army and on top of that I also need to buy paint and rulebooks. Let alone wargaming the core books for D&D in my country cost a whopping $180. And let's not forget the additional expenses for maps, item cards and paper minis(cheapshit but it works). It's mind blowing how expensive this hobby can be

A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings, Deadzone, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander,

I think we can all agree the Karthik got absolutely fucking cucked in the new edition. With the Hive Preatorians losing the spitter variant, the only ranged unit worth shit in the whole army is the Drone Carrier, but that requires you to 1) pay the points to take fucking drones and 2) not even get a guaranteed hit for every model you sacrifice for the shot.

Maybe it would all be fine if they didn't make the Swarm rule retarded too. You have four (4) units in the entire rulebook that can take more than 10 models to get the reduced damage effect. I swear to fuck no one playtested this shit. At least my bug guys are still cool in the RPG.

You can thank Rob for having his team do interviews on Twitter and putzing around on the official discord instead of actually working on their shit, let alone releasing content.

A while ago I asked if anyone would be interested in a thread about folkloric monsters from Siberia. The responses were... really lukewarm and few in number, so I shelved the idea. But right now I desperately need to kill some time, so I'm going to make this thread anyway.

Before we begin, I'm going to make two things clear. One might be self-explanatory, but it wouldn't hurt stressing it to avoid unnecessary confusion going forward. There's no such ethnicity as "Siberian", much like there's no single "Native American" ethnic group. All of the creatures that I'm going to write about belong to different folklores, but I'm not going to mention their exact provenance to save space and spare you the boring details.

Second, because most of these creatures come from fairly obscure fairy tales, not all of them have quality illustrations. Because of that, I'm going to search for pictures that best approximate their descriptions and post them instead. I've also contemplated using AI art, but ultimately decided against it.

Yeah, his ideas and his pitch tend to be a lot better than the implementation, sadly.

I think you can see it with how specific and deeply imagined the races and so forth are going to be in the game, with their own take on Dwarves and all the rest. I don't mind it, but there's definitely some kind of flavour buy-in in the system that you'd need to do some work to strip away from it for other use.

I was speechless. Apparently a lvl 1 fighter with reach is too high of an optimization level for this guy to deal with. My dude even lacked proficiency for fuck's sake and was more of meme character. I played the session through out of common courtesy but never went for another, a guy that oblivious to simplest of rules can't possibly run a good game anyway. What really really gets me is that this guy has supposedly been running games for decades.

You're the illiterate, the pic you posted literally describes what a threatened square is then goes on to describe how to trigger an AoO.
A threatened square is a square into which you can make a melee attack. Right?
Moving out of a threatened square usually provokes and AoO from the threatening opponent. Right?
So if your reach is 15ft. and an opponent is stood within range, if they move away from the square you are threatening, you can make an AoO. Regardless of whether they are leaving your range or not.

When I think "military uniform", this is always the first thing to come to mind. (British WWI officer uniform).

I also like Israeli uniforms because of how chill they are. Dress uniforms are only issued for special purposes - generally this means the military band, and high-ranking officers when they have to go meet high-ranking officers from other countries and don't want to be underdressed. But otherwise they wear their duty uniform everywhere, including to meetings of the Cabinet etc.
