Let's be honest, GW's Slaanesh demons are ugly - they're a disfigured mess that you'd expect to find in a heroin den, not the diverse demons of the god of all possible pleasures, temptations, perfection and so on. There must be somewhere to find decent model files for 9/10e codecies that can be downloaded and printed? A bonus would be if the model files were pre-painted/textured, so I could also use them to build an army in Tabletop Simulator. Willing to pay, but modest amounts.
>>96857992Circa 2003 or so when 6e came out; hope you have a time machine.
>>96858077Old models are unexpectedly awesome. I wonder if anyone scanned them.
>>96858100They did a made to order or year or so ago, so I bet you can find some recasters for them.
Left to right.Standard 'nette for comparison.Raging Heroes "Mantis Warrior" - nice, but very lightweight, felt a bit flimsy during build, especially the slottabase tab.What you can do with a box of witch elves, daemonette bits and some sister of slaughter heads (in the WE box) suitably 'shaved'. In hindsight I wish I'd had the balls to change ALL the feet to claws, but it was a nice experience all the same.
>>96858034Daemonette bits might be nice for Genestealer kitbashing.
Previous thread: >>96735244GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image (follow the URL to get to a folder with some files, read the files to get to the archive). Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: Is Reach important or is it all about how you use it?

I love unarmed melee fighter concepts. What traditional game has your favorite unarmed combat? Ever played a memorable fist fighter character?
>>96809770>Realistic unarmed combat in GURPS really fucking sucks when going against armed combatants, but that's a feature not a flaw.In my experience the thing you need most to be an effective unarmed combatant in semi-realistic GURPS is for your character to be a full on balls to the wall crazy motherfucker who puts keeping up momentum in a fight over everything else. You are pretty fragile but if you strike first and make sure it is the last strike of a fight it works, and you just don't stop. For all that unarmed guys have trouble with weapons most of your opponents are also pretty fragile - a strike to a head, knee, groin and so on would put them down. Slap some gauntlets and metal shod boots and it's gonna be painful for everyone involved. Even heavily armored guys have a true advantage only until grab their weapon hand.
>>96826188Well, it was pretty good in Cyberpunk 2020 too. You could kill a man with a single punch or in case of borgs you could learn Panzerfaust and blow up tanks by jump kicking them.
>>96856431Of course, if you fail the save, there is nothing you can do to interact with the effect. lol

What's the best way to pick a villain? Should the villain reflect something about the party? Should he exist independently from them?
>building PCs before you have a campaign to put them inNogames are so funny
They should be doing things the players and their characters don't like. They should have a distinct personality including clear motivations and weaknesses that the players have the opportunity to exploit them rather than just levelling up for a big fight.They should be interesting enough that they're worth interacting with but don't need to be fully fleshed out characters with long backstories. To the extent that the game is a story, it's one about the player characters.
>>96857262>>building PCstry reading OP again, retard.
I mostly avoid villains, at least for the main antagonist. I've found my players usually enjoy games the most when the antagonist is a good and likeable character, but one whose goals or position force them to be at odds with the players. I am kind of lazy so my go to is generally "opposing leader in a war" but it can be anything really.
>>96857185Have multiple villains. You can do both
From my perspective, "evil" characters are much more free than good characters in their actions and possible roles. Even just defining what their code of conduct is (since it's not a moral one) leads to many more interesting possibilities than with a "good" character. Arbitrarily limiting yourself to characters who you morally agree with just seems stupid.Yet, most campaigns and GMs don't even allow evil characters among the players. Hell, half the time people are afraid of having any truly evil characters at all, even among more villainous npcs that might even be the main antagonist(s) of the game. Why?
Somebody post the skaven backstab circle
>>96841276Fiction usually allows for an escape from evil assholes, rather than constantly remind you of them.
>>96841276I suspect it's because most people don't enjoy playing an evil character and going genuinely heinous shit because they feel bad. It can also lead to people exploring heavier topics and tones of gameplay that they might not want when playing a fun RPG with their friends. I tried it once, playing an evil priest in service to the Goddess of Murder who would not hesitate to torture people for information or execute people who had surrendered and were begging for their lives. I found it both uncomfortable and insightful to play, and it's not something I'm in a hurry to do again. We've actually since agreed as a group not to include torture in our games, or to handwave it. This anon >>96841393 is also correct about the potential for infighting, which I find to be really disrputive and can ruin the fun of what I consider a team game.
>>96841276We'd attempt an "evil campaign" every few years in my 20's but the novelty of BBQing the orphanage and backstabbing each other always wore off pretty quickly. I think it's just lack of self-awareness. Like when playoids talk about wanting to do a "sandbox" but then don't take initiative and drive things forward. Everyone misses the structure of being the good guys saving the day.
Play (Warhammer 40k) Black Crusade. It's less janky than RT or DH 1.0, although still janky, all characters are willing servants of Chaos, so Evil dial is cranked up 11. Core rules include sacrificing children to gigasatan for minor benefits (or major fuckups, because Phil Kelly tables must be featured in every Chaos book, even if actual Phil Kelly hasn't been on the same continent as the writers).

>>96851445KT plays pretty well solo joint ops or not. Because there is so much asymmetry in teams and tac ops, it doesn’t feel like you’re trying to outwit yourself.
>>96739486Shouldn't these guys be Grey Hunters?
>>96853294no
>>96851445It's fun to make up your own stories while you play solo against hordes of enemies. Not for everyone, but I like it. It's relaxing. There are books of generic random tables you could use to improve the "between the battles" element of your campaign if you are into this type of thing, but it's not needed if you just want to play a random game solo once in a while.
>>96857155last editions sadhammering was kinda fun because i tried to come up with the story after each match, imbuing the highlights n such in it.
>everyone accepts that tcgs are a scam>people still buy into them anyways instead of playing non-scam gamesdid we ever figure out why this is?
>>96835220modularity is good design, and tcgs are inherently modular. the individual modules are packaged as cards, which new/casual players immediately understand are interchangable. tinkering and customization give players an easy-to-follow outlet for self-expression. you don't even have to understand the game itself, just the fact that 60 cards make a deck.contrast with ttrpgs, which are also intended to be modular, but don't have physical objects representing specific modules. a typical player's introduction to d&d, for example, is a pre-written campaign with no obvious places where elements can be added or removed. in theory, a dm has even more flexibility -- they can even change or ignore the rules if it suits the story -- but in practice this doesn't occur to new players.tl;dr -- making each creature a card makes it easy to understand that creatures are interchangable, and changing creatures in/out of a game is fun
>>96835220Competitive games rely on FLGS to host events. TCGs pays the bills a lot better compared to fixed cardpool models like LCGs. Without these events the competitive game would be dead
>>96835220This is why my dad would belittle all tcgs as paying for cardboard and would take away my Pokémon cards and lock them in a drawer. He recognized the danger. He did the right thing and I will do the same. Thanks dad.

How frequently do you see in-game friction between PCs successfully and satisfyingly resolved in-game?In non-tabletop fiction, there can be in-universe friction between protagonists. For example, Netflix and Disney+'s Matt Murdock/Daredevil argues with Frank Castle/Punisher over sparing vs. icing bad guys (with further nuance to distinguish common goons and major villains). These stories have the luxury of being written by a relatively unified team of writers. No one writer truly "owns" a specific character, or otherwise has their ego and enjoyment invested in a specific character. The writers generally need not worry about taking sides, showing favoritism, or (deliberately or accidentally) "proving" one character right or wrong.Tabletop RPGs are different. There is no unified team of writers. Each player "owns" one specific character, and tends to have their ego and enjoyment invested in that character. The GM has to worry about taking sides, showing favoritism, or (deliberately or accidentally) "proving" one character right or wrong.In a best-case scenario, the players know one another well, and they can elegantly sort out their PCs' differences in-game through character development and poignant moments, with the GM there to help smooth things along. This does not always happen; players can fiercely butt heads, and the GM has to awkwardly mediate a compromise or take a side, either of which can make at least one player feel like their freedom is being infringed upon.I am in one such situation. I started up a game for two players. After two six-hour long sessions and extensive out-of-game discussion, there is a clear rift. One player wants a game where few antagonists are irredeemably evil, and sparing them is the usually the right thing to do. The other player wants to frequently fight and righteously kill irredeemably evil enemies (note: with a rather edgelordy definition, such that simply opposing the PCs automatically makes an NPC "irredeemably evil").
>>96853845It would help if you remembered the "edgelordy" player repeatedly told you he thought it could be a fun source of in-game friction and he was ready to switch to nonlethal before you made this post.
>>96853845It depends. In our last campaign we had a ton of interpersonal conflicts, but it was a lot of fun and no one took is personally. But in a game I played in several years ago, one of the players was freaking out because my character had secrets that weren't even running counter to the rest of the PCs. He was just convinced >Character is doing stuff the other character don't know about = he is going to fuck us over.So, I dropped that character and made something more obvious. Some people just aren't ever going to be down with it.
If the players know what they're doing they'll usually jump to the chance to either resolve the issue or show another side. Like taking a shot for the other or showing in some other way that there's friendship bellow the squabbles. I recall a one shot where two players kept getting more and more mad at each other to the point the rest left them alone, a monster attack and both attack first, both hit, and it was a pretty badass moment. It can't ever be solved if the players actually dislike each other and are pretending to just be doing what their characters would. Which is by far the most common case.
>>96856137WE HAVE A SURPRISE GUEST IN THE AUDIENCE
>>96853845PVP is anathema to the TTRPG experience.It doesn't matter the circumstances.It doesn't matter if makes sense or if logic dictates friction between characters.It doesn't matter if you consider everyone good sports.PVP always - ALWAYS - leads to hurt feelings and potential drama at the table.NEVER let it happen under your watch. If you must antagonize, do so as an NPC. No other context is without danger to the game's health.
I see this phrase turn up a lot, especially by HMF guys, but isn't the dude who said this a villain who is also a manlet?

It's disingenuos nonsense because muh "non-special totally average everyman human" character will almost invariably be propped up by plot armor.
