Moloch's Fun Park Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97238545get around to it.*
>>97237344Sorry anon, as the other guy in the thread who got his order from them, they are at least responsive. I wouldn't bet on getting any kind of response today but probably tomorrow when a skeleton crew gets back to the office. I put in my ticket on a Saturday and they response in an hour
>>97237011Or maybe they were so devout compared to everyone in the area God chose to save them so that they would not suffer?
>>97238316Depends, if your definition of 'dreadful and sweaty' means respecting the setting or not.If you make some homebrewed faction/warband/rules, and they're made with respect to the themes/setting/existing rules, and you're being genuine with it, you're golden to make the Pit version of the Dirlewanger brigade.I made a TC warband based around pregnant stigmatic nuns, no one's criticized it yet.If you make a Pony/Steven Universe warband, you will be laughed at and sidelined. Same as a pinup warband, or a thinly veiled vessel for a political message everyone knows is bullshit when spoken honestly warband.Tuomas himself highly encourages altering the rules for fun, and /yourdudes/ are a staple, but you can't avoid the court of public opinion.
>>97238316given that the game encouraged kitbashing your own guys to be a distinct little warband in whatever faction you're a part of, making custom rules is a much smaller step culturally.

>>97238683Its a shame he can only SS himself from the backrow if he was placed there by his own effect. Otherwise you could just throw in a Millennium package and use him as a free body.

>super autistic about the condition of my cards>makes the tips of my fingers sweat when dealing with them raw in a horrible feedback loop
>>97238515>i'd go for blue-eyes instead
>>97238363Rather than trying to force you off the deck I'll engage with the list at hand to let you play it.I don't entirely understand why you have so many extenders, is it just for underworld goddess in case you see a towers? Why not just play kaijus main.I'd keep droplet, LSs (move raigeki/HFD to a LS), and the handtraps but the other going 2nd cards seem extra and suited as sideboard cards. Like you dont know if superpoly is going to work so it's better off being sided in over removal for games 2 and 3.ED is mostly superfluous removal options so no notes there.I know you want to send their S/Ts but I think trying to "bury the bricks" with so many discard outlet cards is maybe a bit too risky.If you do want to commit to that though, maybe conaider cynet mining as an outlet and extender for link material.
I refuse to believe Halo Flashpoint is even a 10th as successful as Mantic claims. In terms of online, easy to find metrics it has:3100 people as part of its sub(P)reddit.2100 or so people as part of Facebook Groups.No one discussing it on Twitter gets many likes/comments/retweets.No one big or well known talks about/plays it on Youtube.Yet it's one of the fastest growing and more popular tabletop games to come out recently?I don't buy it.I don't hate the system, but I am baffled by Mantic's ability to get away with lying about how successful this game is.
>>97236626Bungiefags will buy virtually anything even if they never intend to play it. The fact that they only reached the breaking point on Destiny's bullshit THIS YEAR, after a decade of "vaultings" of $100 DLC, is actually insane.
>>97236626I probably would have picked it up if it hadn't been based on the vidya pvp model from day 1. Spartan vs Spartan tdm is lame for a wargame.
>>97237885The second most common complaint about H:GC (after it not being in 28mm) was that the gameplay didn't resemble the videogames.I also think making a tabletop game based on the multiplayer was stupid, but it was kinda what people wanted.
MFW I learned it's basically a tabletop recreation of a multiplayer match. I mean, I always figured it was a given players would want to do whole squads and armored vehicles etc.
>>97239294>Roll for mission>Roll for deployment>Setup>Roll for first turn>Opponent finds rocket launcher+sword+jump pack>I find a needler and smg.>Concede the game.
>says that thinning paint isn't needed>post a picture saying the paint looks fine>chunkiest shit ever known to menis this guy blind?
>>97234557>miniatures>You know, from Latin "minimus" implying the existence of small details?Miniatures is from Latin "miniare" meaning "to paint red".
Could be better, but it's not really thin your paints meme tier.
>>97238712Oh fuck shit, I used multiple colors on mine...
>>97234752I think we'd be more likely to see 3D printers capable of painting before we saw the technology decoupled like that.
>>97239543There are 3d printers that can do multiple colors, but they're FDM which still isn't ideal for miniatures (good for terrain though). I can imagine multi-color resin printing, but the logistics of making your partially built model move around without cross contaminating the different colors of resin in other vats feels like a challenge. You'd at least need to design them so there's no locations where uncured resin could pool while the model is upside down.
>need to read one or more literal textbooks before being able to engage with the gamehonestly that's kinda crazy
If you can't take an afternoon or two to get acquainted with the setting and it's people, why would I want you at the table?
>>97235646How are you going to stop anyone from buying the dmg?
>>97235374>I need to know how to play the game to play the gameSorry not every game is Candy Land and even that game has 3 pages explaining how to roll dice. Ftfy.
>>97235646There isn't a dmg or phb, the system is one book.
>>97235646There's literally nothing in there that shouldn't be public knowledge to a player, are you retarded?
Is it finally over for scalpers?
>>97239545Costco's selling singles?
>>97239551I bet they mean packs and some retail wagie just make a mistake. Still, limiting packs like that is pretty good anti-scalping too.
The funny thing is that a lot of scalpers are millennials, but everyone is getting tired of it. New rules will be put in place to fuck them over and they will have nothing to do. "Hmm yes it seems you bought up all the childrens cards in the area....hmmm you might be able to be a fry cook'
I work at a Walmart in the midwest, and there are only automated limits put in place, per transaction. Usually 4 per same item. However, there is nothing stopping a cashier from just doing multiple transactions of the same cards. Might flag something in the system eventually, but I have yet to see it.My manager doesn't really care about scalpers and re-salers, so there's always this group of arabs that come in and buy the whole set of laptops that just went on clearance, just so they can sell them online for 2x/3x the clearance price. Wish we could tell them to kick rocks, but Walmart only cares about "number go up!" and other self-destructive behavior.
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
>>97226627>Dislikes>flirtingMaybe at your table.
>>97208094>Tg thread about men roleplaying as girls>Look inside>Argumentation about the inherent qualities of empathy, and the barrier between the perceived self and otherness
>>97238976That still a man.
>>97238976>Think of a man, then remove reason and accountabilitythe whole film is about how jack nicholson's character's life improves immensely once he stops being an asshole. Particularly to women, but also just in general.
>>97239631shh, you're only supposed to care about pithy oneliners, not context
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97236576If you want to have a goblin harem or other romantic entanglement, you can utilize all sorts of chat apps to ERP to your heart's content. I'd lost a few days to a disabled and homeless goblin character whom I nursed back to health and made into my wife.
>>97219810>>97229553HEYA HEYA HEYA HEYAWANDEEERIIIIING ON HORIZON ROOOOOAAAAADFOLLOWIIIIING THE TRAIL OF TEEEAAAAARSONCEWE WERE HEEEEREHEYA HEYA HEYA HEYA
>>97213989You compare them to pests and then act like we don't still have pests. Like we got rid of all the rats in the world right? It's weird seeing someone whose world building sucks because they're so out of touch with the real world. Like what are you more used to minecraft?
>>97213989Why do Gypsies and Jews still exist? Also most settings have an explanation generally along the lines of them being underestimated and extermination not being considered worth the effort or them being far more powerful than a pest race. Skaven in WHFB could overwhelm any single race, hell they helped put down Nagash at the height of his power.
>>97236774Right, "pet."

Is World Anvil worth the price?I'm asking as both a GM (World of Darkness, Mekton, Cyberpunk, occasionally D&D, recently Maid RPG, Call of Cthulhu) and as an aspiring writer.Like, sure it's the price of a Netflix sub but I'm wondering if anybody here has paid for it and if you think you got good value out of it. Bonus points if you can tell me which tier you got.

>>97237258It would kill the campaign. Arrianne and Amy couldn't survive alone and there would barely be any place to introduce new characters that would make sense.>>97238952>I wonder if the players can even fathom how vulnerable their characters were.They do.>Or if they could imagine their characters making the same realization.Frost player had to break character once too because Arrianne tried to kill Ferris and he tied her up and was about to throw her into the river Styx. We're a very dysfunctional party when there is no enemy in front of us and sometimes bad things combine and it becomes really hard to stay in character.>Relating to beforea session every 2 weeks is too little for me. Especially because what are seemingly short campaigns last half a year.

>>97239517total coomer genocide. You are a plague on every and all cultures.
>>97239522Enough about you and your love of cock.
>>97239501>too little for meIndeed, I've felt that. We're on session 33 now, and have been playing for a year and a half. There's been a couple of missed weeks in there, very few and only when I simply could not do it.But doing it every week just wasn't the schedule everyone was able to do. However it being just 4 hours... It's a bad mix. I may just put my foot down and say that there needs to be some effort to interact, try to do non-combat things in between sessions.I know that for many of them they couldn't do every week because they already had a game on the off Saturdays, furthermore I know my monk player runs a game on those days, I'm running a Shadowdark game on those days (which the barbarian player is also playing, as his half-elf witch) and he also joined a Mage game that starts not long after our City of Brass game ends.

For the Sharpshooter I would suggest letting it use a variation of the predestination prophecy where only it can attack once the condition is met, but it can do so without LoS and with a damage buff. Sevenfold Sharpshooter or something like that.>ElephantsIt is a bit of a kludge, but you could combine the profiles and add an addendum saying that two elephants constitute one elite for the purposes of the elite counter. I have done that repeatedly for units.>Gas Masks as traitsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97238006Something like this?>Seventhfold SharpshooterSecretly note down an Enemy or Hostile model, a hex and publicly note an upcoming turn. If at any point in the noted turn the noted model enters the noted Hex, interrupt its activation, and the “Lemurian Sharpshooter” resolves as many ranged shots as it has available (if it has 4 shots, do 4 attacks; if it has 2 shots, do 2 attacks; if it has to reload, nothing happens). The “lemurian sharpshooter” still needs to be within its range to do so.
Merry christmas, everyone!
Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prepFirst I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games. I particularly like his take on Bronze Age fantasy and building better town guards
>>97229957I hope not. Chekhov’s gun just makes foreshadowing more obvious, which might be a good choice depending on your audience, but the payoff comes from the story itself.
Joy of Wargaming. He's more wargame focused but he does RPG content too. Most of his wargaming has a RP aspect to it since he plays solo.He approaches gaming the way I do, cheap & cheerful and he's doing his own thing not giving a fuck.>>97231945Don't feed the troll
>>97233194I like him, made a very entertaining AD&D solo game that was also pretty useful in showcasing procedures.
