>>97286867my playgroup is convinced its starcraft.
>>97287580>Honestly if you can't make artifacts you are completely inconsequential to the setting as a whole.Name an artifact that matters to the setting as a whole. To cut a few off early, the Realm Defense Grid is a manse network and not an artifact, the Loom of Fate is a manse, the Well of Udr is a manse feature, and the panoply of the Unconquered Sun are panoply charms, not artifacts.
>>97288059The Walking Devil Tower probably has some credible claim to influence over the setting. If someone has it, they've turned whatever their table's game was into Evangelion.
>>97288059The Eye of Autochthon, that one artificial Elemental Pole of Earth, the wedding ring of the Scarlet Empress, the shadow of the Primordial King stated in the Under the Rose campaign to be the control mechanism of the RDG and capable of greatly amplifying sorcerous spells on it's own, the Aidenweiss as a divine symbol of office and (potentially) the Sea of Mind.
>>97288142Tbh the Ascendant Nova Phoenix mentioned right before it should count too. Thing's fast as fuck and can nuke anything that can't also fly up to fight it in the skyor target it from the ground.

Its close enough to what I was envisioning for my own terrain plates, and the terrain rules are slightly different than 40k anyways. And more importantly, its what the store had on hand. The objectives were player placed, and the hexes are almost exactly 40mm round bases, so it is an easy substitute.

>>97287235>>97287398I actually forgot a corner case that I did have to reject recently. I'm not one to bar players from playing evil characters, but one of the pitched characters for the last game I ran would have struggled to come up with a reason not to betray the party as soon as the initial antagonist's goals and methodology were revealed to the party. I probably could have trusted the player to come up with some kind of reason, but I also figured that it would kind of suck to be forced to crowbar your character concept quite as hard as he would have had to, so I pushed him away from it--specifically citing that it wouldn't have worked for this campaign in particular, rather than that it was an issue with the character concept itself. He came back with a different kind of scheming bastard that we all loved to get fed up with.>>97287426Honestly? In my experience, if someone is chafing at being told to actually do what they were asked to, they're going to keep being a problem one way or another. If they briefly grumble and grouse and then get over it, fine, but if it's a serious problem for them, we were going to have a serious problem sooner or later. Might as well frontend that instead of having it cause issues mid-campaign.
>>97287591>because I'm not sure what the plot points of act 2 are gonna beAnd you shouldn't be until the party is at least three-quarters of the way through Act One. Build the lore and set up the first act and then build upon that as you go.
>>97287235I'm pretty lax with things unless it's an active rejection of the premise. Like, if the game is about a massive horde of orcs flooding into an area and the players are one of many groups trying to fight their way free and escape the green tide, I'm probably not going to okay a chaotic evil orc blackguard whose explicit goal is to enslave all humans.
How are we feeling about the new 5.5e Artillerist in Forge of the Artificer?I have been seeing one in play. It has been highly effective due to one key change: the Eldritch Cannon not being locked to one "mode" during creation. The same Eldritch Cannon can be used to spam temporary Hit Points before combat (just keep rolling again and again until the whole party has 8 + Intelligence modifier temporary Hit Points) and then use either Flamethrower or Force Ballista during the fight itself.The Artillerist still has no Extra Attack at level 5, but cantrips can help it catch up... somewhat.
>>97288047Absolutely not, I've already danced this dance before.I've already DMed this campaign (and this setting) for another group, and I'm deeply unsatisfied with a lot of the elements of both the story and worldbuilding. And the problems with the story come from me not having things planned out properly from the start.Some plot points emerged from nowhere, others disappeared into the nothingness after being established. NPCs and plotlines I've intended to be important fizzled out because I've created them and then didn't have any idea what to do with them next. The stories that we did end up doing didn't have any foreshadowing. The final dungeon of the arc started with the premise "Go to this place you've never heard about before, because the BBEG's master plan is unfolding there - thus speak I, the hastily slapped together exposition device". Looking back, act 1 and act 3 were very solid, because I've had an idea of what to do with them right from the start, but act 2 is rancid garbage that makes me want to vomit, and it's the one where I just did stuff.No more trying to improv the entire middle of the campaign.

Why do "modern" and modern people go insane when they see some eldritch blorblo, but Conan could just kill it without going "aaaaaahhh save me niggerman!!!!!"
>>97285715>but he specifically states at one point that he avoids overthinking about existential mattersFunnily enough, his predecessor, Kull was the opposite
>>97287182tell me you're not an educated young science fiction enthusiast in the early 20th century without telling me
>>97281870First of all, Conan IS scared of the supernatural. I don't mean the usual "barbarian healthy hate for sorcery", even: he IS scared of monsters. He doesn't faint, mind you.Which is interesting because he's not terribly different from the reactions that many HPL protags have. Armitage and Willet come to mind. And both guys fight pretty high-level monsters and win, taking the usual RPG metrics. Certainly "higher level" than what Conan kills.>>97288026True. Kull is more prone to introspection than fucking Elric, all considered.
>>97288129The problem with this topic is that people hear "Lovecraft" and think of Derlethian Heresy pastiches, not the work by the actual man. There are some of his characters who go stark raving mad or kill themselves, but they're a minority, and the latter usually do it to escape far worse enemies (or their "suicide" was anything but).
>>97288135Hell, I'm not so sure Derleth's protags overall are even worse in this regard.(Lovecraft used more cheap-ish fanting eariler in his writings, didn't he? Still less than his usual "everything ends up with a sort of eldritch explosion" thing)

Would I be likely to run into any problems standing up a mech factory with the profits of my mercenary company? Like will I get raided by mechs in white primer?
>>97288011Yes, there will be problems in basically any era. Trying to do it pre-helm will most likely end up with every head engineer in the project mysteriously dead and if you do somehow get it up and running even after all your construction materials mysteriously fail to arrive after jumping out of the next system over and your computer systems with the blueprints all have their hard drives mysteriously blanked, mysteriously high budget pirates will come and destroy it down to the foundations.But even post-helm, it's still a big target for less mysterious pirates and raiders. In the Jihad you could spin up a line for any number of lower tech units using the New Dallas core, but then you might get nuked by Blakists, and your production will probably get forcibly stood down by Stoners.Your best bet would be in the dark ages. You'll still have to deal with normal raiders and pirates, but there isn't some big super power trying to destroy everything that shakes up the status quo or active mega war where both sides need to destroy all the infrastructure the other one could use.
>>97288097Hey, things won't necessarily be that bad. If he's doing alight mech factory that makes super common parts then no one will give as much of a shit.
>>97288097Ok that helps put in perspective the kind of problems that could arise. I have some additional stumbling bocks to figure out anyway. I need to get a landhold, but I dont see any hook ins to do that in MekHq I could just save up xp and track that trait myself, but I need to determine a mechanism of one even being available. After that the rule set I have for factories make it look like there is an expenditure of 40million a to run the minimum size line and a standup cost of like 250 mil? I don't think this takes into account sourcing materials either. I haven't fully read through it.
>>97288140But it's always going to be a raid target due to it literally making salvage. Intercept a batch of brand new mechs before they even get shipped out, or whole shipping containers full of actuators, or enough brand new myomer to strangle a Union. Mechs and mech parts are always valid theft targets.
Besides Shadowdark, are there any other TTRPGs that have playable goblins?
>>97287968So long as I can play as a Goblin Paladin

If you told me a few years ago that I'd be primarily using fucking Army Painter warpaints I would've called you a retard. Genuinely what a gargantuan upgrade from the old crap, can't recommend it enough
>>97287388That's why I only ever mix two paints at a time to do wet blend gradients.
>>97277739Not really
>>97281594I used to use their washes as an alternative to GW since the devlan mud days but have actually stopped using them now. Newer bottles are gloopier and way glossier than they used to be. I don't know why they changed them but it's annoying. I can find an alternative for black/dark brown washes easily enough but it sucks that I really liked soft tone compared to other "sepia" washes and it's an essential part of my main army. Don't know what I'm gonna do about that one when I run out of what I've got left.
I'm not one who's too particular about a colour being the exact same shade. To me, a dark blue is a dark blue is a dark blue (or still close enough).The only exception is picrelated. But I'm running out and it's out of production; anyone can recommend a good alternative? This colour covers fantastically and is easily the best base for my various greens.
>>97288069Try looking for Phthalocyanine Green paint, it's a fairly common pigment and it might even be the pigment they used for that.
why are many creators so afraid of making a setting with napoleonic wars era technology?
>>97286103I play more often than you do.
>>97285804You understand, that without massive armies, intense logistics, and entire nations backing them, those individuals are nobodies. They are not the heroes holding swords and hands, fighting off dozens of anime, their officers directing armies who are actually doing the real work. So why don't you go neck yourself.
>>97287410np, glhf
>>97288119>fighting off dozens of animeBrown ESL detected.
>>97285005Oh look, another one in the "Why doesn't everyone cater specifically to my current flavour-of-the-month interest?" category.>>97288119>You understand, that without massive armies, intense logistics, and entire nations backing them, those individuals are nobodies. /.../ their officers directing armies who are actually doing the real work.Which is probably part of why they got so hyped up, with little hope of actual personal glory the soldiers were provided stories about it to help motivate them, and in the endless see of nobody grunts marching and dying in line the rare few cases of some common soldier doing something noticeable stood out so much more clearly.
Anyone play it yet? I like the "rustic fantasy" setting. The core rules seem interesting, it has more mechanics and gameplay than most other narrative games. I enjoy that it doesn't have moves or whatever to confine you, you can actually play your character and do whatever you want. It's got enough knobs and options in terms of resolution I feel like it's actually a real game despite having that more story focus vs simulation focus. And I like that the DM has all the traditional power of the DM and there's not like "Fate Points" or something else that gives players control to change stuff.Thinking I might try a short game for my table, just a few lower powered sessions. It also has good tools for a solo stuff which is interesting.
>>97276085No, there are browns on the cover.
>>97283948>the shill accusations and the paranoia that comes with it are still worse for board quality.Learn to discuss things like someone who isn't trying to advertise a product, then. Shill accusations are harmless and easily countered or ignored. Acting like a huge faggot because people are rightfully wary of shills only casts more doubt.
>>97276085>"rustic fantasy"That sounds like another faggot way of saying COMFY
>>97287995Nah, it means it's fantasy Appalachia. Moonshine, sisterfucking, and endemic cannibalism mixed with all kinds of fucked-up cryptids.
>>97287995Rustic means following bilbo and Sam instead of legolas and gimli. Rustic means the first part of a jrpg before it's revealed that God gets involved with the plot. Rustic fantasy is the princess bride.

>>97287743How did you do the base? I'm getting myself one too and IDK how best to do the flying base besides the acrylic rod (already purchased)
>>97287985Just got a small wooden display plate (meant for showing off food on Instagram I think) from a household items shop. Dirt cheap, and already circular. Glued the resin block that came with the acrylic rod to it, and secured it with screws too Wassive overkill probably but didn't want to take any chancesStill gotta finish decorating it, thinking about adding a small bunker to one half and a destroyed bit of road on the other.
>>97288063>spoilerSee I thought of doing this as well but wanted to ask someone who's actually done/doing it. Might still do it even if it is massive overkill, it'll make me feel better
>>97288071Yeah, even if it's not necessary it does eliminate the anxiety over the stand snapping off the base.
>>97288130>it does eliminate the anxiety over the stand snapping off the base.That alone is enough reason for me to do it. Thanks anon!
