Thats a fucking retarded strategy. People generally avoided nuking shit because they could always come back later and take their stuff back.

>>94851377
Better to render a heavily industrialized world useless than to allow your enemies to use it to wage war against you

>>94851362
That was the First Succession War, when nuking things was common.

>>94851402
Again, fucking stupid strategy. You do a bit of sabo, so its going to take time and resources away from your enemy to get things working again. And you use that time to rally a counter attack and take your stuff back.

Its almost as if the complete extermination of you enemy is a secondary goal you fuckwit

I always thought GMs would be harder to find than players. It turns out finding players is way harder. These days asking people to seriously commit three or four hours to playing sockpuppets on a weekend is asking a lot, it turns out.
Recruiting outside of friends you can already vet for is basically impossible. Your options are pretty much retards from Gamefinder threads, who do not actually play games, Redditors, who are Redditors, and Discord trannies.

>Your options are pretty much retards from Gamefinder threads, who do not actually play games, Redditors, who are Redditors, and Discord trannies.
These are your options for GMs as well, so I really wouldn't call those easier to find.

Most of the more popular games have official online communities and discord servers. I just find players through that. Used to prefer in person games but it seemed online players were more consistent and easy to keep in touch with. Real life games i just felt like I was putting too much effort into tard wrangling and figuring out people's schedules to plan the next session. There also just a larger pool of potential players to be found online so it's easier to find people who mesh well witch each other and can fit in the schedule that you stipulated.

Yes, it definitely is. It feels clears that Wehrle has learned a lot from his past games and managed to find clever ways of dealing with many of their criticisms. It's quickly earned its spot as one of my favorite games. Not to mention that I now have hope his Oath rework might actually make the game great.

Im gonna specoolate

Next fab set will be "everfest 2" and will feature mechanologist, merchant, illusionist and bard

>>94850814
>I now have hope his Oath rework might actually make the game great
same. I love Blighted Reach but if the Oath expansion fulfills its potential it might become one of my favorite games overall. I already enjoy the base game a lot though

>>94850814
Can you expound on what it addresses?

I've never played Oath, but I've played all of Wehrle's other games.

Ultimately all of his games feel really similar, in the sense of 'clever' play comes secondary to politics, and politics is just a big debate about who's strongest and who needs to be stopped.

Root, Pax Pamir, and Arcs, you typically don't win through a clever play, it's either players don't notice your win condition, or you manage to set up juuust well enough in your win condition that people can't stop you before you execute it. But in either case, you seem to get there usually through smoke and mirrors on the social side, just distracting people with conversation/tabletalk directed away from you.

So I don't see what it matters whether you monopolize resources in Arcs vs coins in Pax Pamir, ultimately the mechanics feel like such a small detail next to the tabletalking

Maybe I'm just missing something about Arcs

its usually the dark admech that maintain the gear of the chaos legions, and they certainly charge far more for said benefits, and even then they are far more limited despite having daemonic help, in other words the best case scenario is usually maintainng what you have have along with raiding fellow chaos factions or imperial outposts

Nice.

You know what? It could actually be an interesting story if they did if right and followed through on the realistic consequences of them getting together. They develop feelings for each other and initially try to hide it but eventually decide that they need a grand gesture to cement the alliance of their races against Chaos and announce their engagement. How are their respective peoples going to feel about being asked to work together as anything other than desperate allies of convenience after thousands of years of hostility? How are they still going to respect their leaders when they see them engaging in what they can't help but think of as bestiality? And even if Guilliman and Yvraine's affection for each other is genuine on a personal level, can the relationship survive their different mindsets and attitudes toward each other's people?

Chaos is an utter meme in 40k. Some nascent godlings which only became slightly relevant 10k years ago and were stuck in space asshole for those 10k years anyway. Eldar are significantly bigger threat and a common enemy for both Imperium and Chaos. They should get genocided before Chaos is dealt with. Captain Artemis was right all along. Chaos keeping Eldar souls and psykers in check is all it has to offer. Remove Chaos and there is nothing stopping this 60 000 000 old ancient species from reclaiming galaxy and subjugating (or worse) Mankind. Girlyman should be smart enough to realize it.

Male human female elf is such an overdone cliche at this point, I trust no author, especially no GW author, to ever do anything interesting with that.

Except that they have been the most common allied faction among 40k factions since forever, especially when Eldrad is involved. Who also handled the alliance between Ynnari and the Imperium.

I have a feeling the narrative we’re building up here is that maybe a large enemy force emerged from beyond the Nullflow Passage at some point before getting pushed back in by the Benlovia Lux Crusade as they liberated this whole area

>Outsider Relations (d10)

Okay just because I'm having a brainlet moment figured I'd ask just because I'm getting back into the game.

For the Sinful Spoils of the White Forest card coming out with the new core set, I can only use the second effect for monsters that are either on the field or in my hand but can't say fuse a monster in the field with one in my hand, right? I'm that guy at locals still playing D/D/D and it seems like a card that would decently synergize with it.

>>94850702
The standard Fusion/Polymerization-like effect allows you to use monsters from your hand and/or field as material, including (your) face-down monsters (or your opponent's if it simply specifies face-down monsters). Furthermore, these such effects allow you to use resources from any of the listed locations, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
>Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field.
This allows you to use them from your hand or field
>Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters you control as Fusion Material.
You [Control] a monster when it is on your field. I could get into the nitty-gritty of some of the keywords and how they differ from this, but this implicitly requires you to use monsters only from your field.

Sometimes it'll also just tell you to use monsters from your field. They mean the same thing.

>>94850702
You can fuse using just monsters in the hand, just monsters on the field, or with monsters in both the hand and on the field. The fusion summon effect is nearly the same text as the modern text for polymerization, which allows for you to use monsters from both places as material for the same summon.

>>94850751
>>94850751
That part I figured as much, I just know that some people get really anal if a card doesn't read "and/or," so I'd normally say that feels like an oversight but it's a 20 year old mechanic at this point so I won't argue it too much.

When are we getting more ritual pend monsters?

I think it's primarily for people who want a system that is naturally more challenging. The threat of dying is always imminent and that makes surviving a lot more meaningful. In a game with no overall win condition, feeling a sense of accomplishment from surviving is really important.

Also what really appeals to me, is that the classes are all clearly delineated and have their own strengths and weaknesses. They aren't just a grey goo of meaningless titles. The later editions stripped down classes and made them all too similar for the sake of fairness and "balance"

Lastly, the overall aesthetic and philosophy that lies at the heart of the game, was much more pure than the overly corporatized nonsense that WotC puts out these days

>>94850556
It's just that bit freakier and more fantastical than later editions. Back then they were based on different times and cultures, but now they quite literally are artifacts of another time and culture from before the majority of players were born, or at the very least able to read.

- Less to no builds minigame, your "success" is more a factor of roleplay and gear rather than what is strictly written in the character sheet;
- more clearly defined procedures for out-of-combat scenarios;
- combat as a de facto fail state rather than the objective (more potentially lethal, morale rules, more lasting consequences since healing takes time);
- better defined game framework (at low levels you're an adventurer dealing with small scale problems and interests, at high levels you're a local power with your own agenda);
- better defined, more powerful and yet limited magic (hard vancian, with high level wizards needing weeks or months to fully memorize their complete spells repertoire, clerics being highly constricted by their credo, etc...);
- better niche protection with less heterogeneous character options, if there's overlap it's dealt with increasing specialization and higher requirements (example: to be a fighter you only need at least a STR of 9, a ranger instead requires STR 13, INT 13, WIS 13 and CON 14);
- more focused themes, for example humans are both the point of views and the default key of reference to which measuring the world, which means that demihumans on monstrous races are measured on this default assumption (level ranges and caps);
- lean more on pulp rather than heroics, which currently is a grat palate cleanser from the usual expectations.
