>>97162717Maybe, but considering how petty death is in the franchise (mfer killed an entire family over a penny) it'd go to shit pretty quickly

>>97176486>>97176486Okay. I'm a dumbass. I had a dyslexic moment.I thought you were asking about starting from what White Wolf had published since 2021, not what the wider paranormal fantasy genre had produced.Here's what I found on Reddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/horrorlit/comments/rse7b1/i_read_187_horror_novels_in_2021_and_heres_a_mini/ .
>>97176545Oh, last 5 years. Damn. Renfield? Nosferatu and Frankenstein? (The nu ones)I feel as if 5 years isn't entirely fair as the current production schedule is ridiculously long
>>97175859>>97175830>>97175821I can see this working in the case of 1 vampire but a coterie of (potentially) different clans being embraced all around the same time just seems contrived unless there was a conspiracy by their sires.
>>97176557>I feel as if 5 years isn't entirely fair as the current production schedule is ridiculously longThat's kind of the point, to see how the more recent stuff would fuck with the baselines of the templates.

>>97176410>It has to be something fundamentally different and probably explaining how it summons couldn't fit in the existing text box.Theoretically, Synchros and XYZ could just be explained in card text...

>>97176267>that xyz/pend monster that slups up your face up ED as materialsThat sounds cool as fuck. It's finite in a mechanically cool way too because if you do that it's materials won't loop back to face up ED so they are truely used up. (detatching pends from xyzs go to gy because pend cards care going from the field to gy specifically.)

The lads were ahead of their time. Flesh and Blood was always a broken system. The players simply operated under the assumption that LSS knew what they were doing and hoped it would all work out in the end. Three years later and it just plain isn't working anymore.
>>97173063>LudonarrativeI can tell you had just googled the word, because you capitalized it.
I still haven't gotten around to watching that one video but I never expected FAB to be this contentious. I just thought it'd be a niche thing- it's hard to tell if the people complaining are jaded anti-fans or people who just didn't like it from the start.
>>97176377It's mostly just this thread, there are occasionally a few disgruntled opinions I see on other social media outlets but for the most part its pretty neutral. Generally when metas get boring/stale or when there's some controversy around you see a surge in posting. I think the Dev Talk video that people are crashing out about on here was pretty much universally well-received outside of their treatment of Blitz, which isn't the main thrust of the complaints here
>>97176047The real problems we face are the game caving in on itself due to the reprints. There's collector's pieces, like cold foil Legendaries, sitting in the thirties because of these reprint policies. Not playable non foils, the first editions of the past. The supposed reprint policy was set to preserve prices, but when LSS bent the rules to not include alternative artworks, they shot the long time collectors in their knee caps. Look at this shit. Capped out at 155 usd. Now you can get one for 35. It will cost you about four and a half coldies all the way past four and a half years since it was printed. They're failing everything this game has established with the latest wave of reprints. This is unprecidented levels of bad decisions.

So, there is no more cheap '3~5 snap fit tactical marines painting practice box for beginners'?
>>97176573You can get the painting set with Tyranids or Marines and also you can get a free marine/nid/stormcast in a GW store.
>>97176573I think the space marine heroes are push fit. But no. There is a beginner set with intercessors, but if you want the more dated models you havr to buy them separate. Gw isn't trying to give beginners tactical marines that they've been getting ready to squat for a decade
>>97176362Pretty sure there's a passage or two that contradicts this in the Lelith book, will reread and confirm
>>97176573Nah they still have those, it’s Infernus Marines this edition though.

>>97176053I blame the karens and the tourists. Those karens will go anywhere they think they can get a crumb of power and then push the tourists they need to MOD the place then they often kill the space with their power. This is why you need to gatekeep, if you don't they will and you be push out of the very thing you let them in. All why they shit on it and the founders as they "fix" the problems of the past.
>>97176068Found the trans tourist groomer. I swear, they the first to push the whole nothing kid unless it something over the top gay cause they feel their shit
>>97176092Sure thing kidfucker.
Tourists really gotta leave.
Starting with you.
Is there a shop that mainly sells metal/tin figures?I saw a couple of them on Temu, and now I want more.
>>97175411shoulda said, they have a few more.also this chick from reaper.
>>97167069Wtf happened to Scotia Grendel. I've wanted to get a lot of their various artillery for my dwarfs for like 15 years. I always postponed because I don't like buying stuff while I have so much to paint.And now most of it has disappeared from their site. I'm kicking myself for not having painted more when I had the chance and bought thos organ guns, dwarf tanks and giant cannon.
>>97176186Ive seen stuff vanish and reappear from their site a few times and gotten the answer from them that theyre just temporarily taken down, you could message to see. Might just be how they handle out of stock stuff!
>>97162541Did you just ask someone to drive for 4 hours for you with nothing in return? That's a good chunk of gas he's going to use for something he has no interest in

In exchange for the privilege of my first disciple in the ENLIGHTENED method of using the Dark Side, you will be paid in the experience that is the highest state of being for your species.

Not just in lust, but seeing the riches and weaponry I’d casually laid out for her consideration “…I could get used to this”“Amazing really, what sapient life can get used to. Isn’t that right, Rakata?”She looked over to what I was talking to. A chute opened to walls and walls of square-shaped flesh that looked back at her, helplessly squirming. “The funny thing is, they don’t even feel any pain” I mused, “and they’re STILL upset that they’re finally, finally contributing a useful purpose for the betterment of all sapient life”“Who?

>>97175626People are extra sensitive about it having a gauss rifle in the side torso with an XL like there aren't countless designs that put ammo racks and such there too.
>>97176158People have an issue with IS XL engines in general.>>97168005If you want Assault Mech speeds stick to Assault Mechs.Heavy Mech's with a 3/5 movement is just like walking outside wearing an A-frame that says "Rape me here"
>>97176158In my experience stuff like that only really matters if you care about salvaging or the pilot surviving. I can understand being a bit miffed if you're playing a more long form campaign style game and you end up with a mech with exploding torsos because whoever gets in that will probably die eventually.
>>97175819Not really, no. This is a deliberate part of the setting, because if it's too easy to shoot down DropShips, ground forces can't get to planets to have the ground fights the game is actually about
>>97175819Sub-Capital weapons or a Mass Driver. Anything smaller than that and you'd just have a Rifleman.Maybe cross your fingers and hope you find a Castle Brian on planet.

Sorry for effortposting your Friday1. What systems have you found that have made combat engaging?2. What do you think is a satisfying duration for most fights? Over quickly? Or minimal resolution (followed by optional exposition)3. Do you find a sort of "bidding" of dice (such as in Riddle of Steel and her derivatives) fun? Or do you prefer the dice that you roll to be fairly consistent/static in their outcomes?4. Do you find "maneuvers"- like in Mythras- fun? Do you find that tracking a number of maneuvers grinds combat resolution down too slowly? What about a sort of freeform ability to spend "bonus success" on maneuvers (sort of "fiction first")?I'm thinking about my system. It's very inspired by Mythras, Forbidden Lands, and Riddle of Steel but I'm unsatisfied with it. I'd like to really look at the fundamentals- the statistics, the base mechanics, the speed of resolving each round- before tacking on additional details. Right now, I have attacker declaring an attack and defender declaring a reaction (dodge, parry, or block with shield), rolling a dice pool (attribute+professional rank+gear bonus) and comparing successes. Extra successes are spent on dealing more damage or performing maneuvers. I'm curious if anyone here has experiences in systems that they've found particularly fun, fast, engaging, and place a lot of decision pressure on the player (to replicate- in a way- the stress of combat)
>>97176310>"Why is your game fun?" "Here are all of the things that I think my game does well/differently from among the variety of choices.None of these are actual answers, anon.

>>97176356>>97176361>the teamwork, the competition.Valid answers.

Retard who thinks false equivalencies and strawmen are arguments. Sorry anon, but having to equivocate what people say to entirely different subjects is a sign of autism, not actually wanting an answer to a softball question.
