>>96756225Examples of them tripling down? I feel like this is just something people are saying. And I mean stuff that they couldn't feasibly retcon. Like 'Project Necromancer' in Bad Batch. Yes, Palpatine coming back is the stupidest thing in the world. But I'd much rather they establish Palpatine had a huge immortality project he'd been working on, than just leave that whole plot point hanging. As much as we'd like Rise of Skywalker made non-canon, that's about as feasible as asking Phantom Menace be decanonized.
>>96756471NTA, but:Necromancer, with its obvious connections to Gideon's plans for Yeed in the Mandalorian, is probably the shining example of tripling down. I sympathize with your willingness to see some attempt to make the single greatest bad writing decision in the ST make any kind of in-universe sense, but I think some people would actually prefer it be some writers'-room ass-pull. It's easier to ignore when the only explanation is Oscar Isaac watching his career die in real time. When you start interweaving elements of this into follow-on works, and extend the in-universe timeline for this back to the Prequels, it becomes impossible to ignore what remains a poorly decided, poorly delivered, and frankly insulting decision by JJ Abrams and his crew.TL;DR, some anons would rather the ST just be ignored. Nothing about it ever be mentioned, nothing ever tried to make sense. Then they too can pretend that it never happened, and all remains well in the Galaxy Far, Far Away.

>>96735511>Tell me about your GAMES. Give us a battle report!The battle report is old, since we are between "seasons" of my campaign, but I have been gearing up for the next arc and have some of details to hand.I'm the GM for Foresight Team, an Imperial agents campaign I've posted about a few times before. Foresight are like the A-Team, but dumber and more fractious. In theory, they are an ambitious governor's deniable/covert operations team. In practice, they are a hilariously unsubtle brute squad that only avoid a firing squad by sheer luck and being exactly the sort of psychopaths and sociopaths that Imperial schemers think they can use to their advantage. They operate in the Klina Sector, just south of Hutt Space, and spent the prior season mostly ferreting out pirates and smugglers aligned with the Hutts.At the end of the season, Foresight had uncovered the home base of the Gray Phantom pirates, and a small Imperial fleet was dispatched to wipe out the pirates. The pirates had been scavenging an old Lucrehulk, so they had a small army of refurbished battle droids and a powerful shield over their base to fend off bombardment. While some of the fleet's officers wished to simply overwhelm the shield with massed turbolaser fire, the Moff in charge saw an opportunity to hone the ground troops against a live (er, animate) opponent. So it would be a ground assault, like the one recently conducted in the Hoth system by the 501st.Foresight had recently put themselves on the shit list by attempting, in a public marketplace, while being filmed by local news, to murder a COMPNOR officer without any obvious provocation or reason. (I think the player had a brain fart, but his Shoretrooper buddies immediately doubled down and made the whole thing much worse for the whole team) Rather than execute the people who had made this entire operation possible, the Moff was convinced to offer them a glorious death instead. A suicide charge through the clanker lines.
>>96756798The six members of Foresight would be given 3 speeder bikes, and sent to reconnoiter the pirate base in advance of the main landing force. But doing so would mean breaching the defense perimeter by themselves, and drawing fire from every droid along the way. Immediately, the team set about scrounging.One of Foresight's 3 Shoretrooper members, the scout-sniper "Warlock," stole a mouse droid. Unlucky TIE pilot "Flinch" and ladder-climbing Stormtrooper "Bull," began calling in favors from other units aboard the Star Destroyer, acquiring an extra bike and a supply of explosives. Flinch reprogrammed "Lieutenant Mouse" and wired the little droid into the fourth bike, to carry the explosives for a kamikaze attack. Meanwhile, tech-minded Shoretrooper "Boomy" repaired an old CIS missile beacon he'd collected on the previous mission, so that heavy weapon Shoretrooper "Rip" could fire it from his rocket launcher. Lastly, the team's Twi'lek medic/mad scientist "Tails" dosed her boys up with an unhealthy amount of agility-boosting stims. Very important, since only Flinch had speeder training!Foresight came screaming out of the dropship. Rip lobbed the beacon into a dug-in platoon of B-1s, which caused the first volley from a Hailfire droid to tear its fellow bots apart. Warlock shot a STAP out of the air, and Boomy tossed grenades at nearby droids. Flinch, Bull, and Tails did their best to evade incoming fire, diving through the storm of blaster bolts with near misses and grazing hits that scorched their plastoid armor or jostled their bikes. Somehow Lt. Mouse managed to avoid taking any hits at all. It seemed like Flinch had accidentally uplifted the little droid, turning it into an impressive pilot. Triumph and Advantages on the programming roll, plus lucky rolls during the battle. We're using FFG's system. The kamikaze droid weaved through the chaos of battle, closing in on the designated Hailfire...

Its hard to show just how much work this is taking but I need to share it with someone. Im slowly cleaning up this busted up forgeworld avatar, puttying the edges and cleaning up the shapes. I think I am on my 10th or 11th putty session. Its such a fucking cool model and Ive always wanted one, but man the old hand sculpt really fails in certain details when you are used to the modern cad precision.
And some closeups of the repairs. Sculpting these fine edges is incredibly hard. Each one is a multi-session job, first you have to just get the putty in the space you want (and getting it to stick to such a tiny surface is really hard) then you can sand it to make a framework and then apply more layers of putty. The sword is currently on 5 different layers of putty just on the outer edge, the inner edge is on 3. The organic details of this sculpt are so fantastic but all the inorganic armour such as the trim and the blade are just not good.The worst part so far was fixing the details on the left pauldron which were all wobbly looking (like you can see in the front one), that probably took 3-4 hours alone, with the trim repair and straightening taking about the same time but over multiple sessions of buildup and sanding/filing. Its coming along smoothly though, probably 2/3rds done. Main things left are front pauldron details and finishing the blade.
>>96756840>>96756872Very cool. And yes it looks like a nightmare, but best to spend the time now.
>>96756840>>96756872Jesus Christ that's brutal.
>>96756967If you get a forgeworld model and you DON'T try and make your own silicone mold of it after fixing it, are you even a real hobbist?
If he was real and played Magic (the card game in the manga started as a Magic parody after all) what would his opinion on the current state of the game be?
>>96756707I know the answer is "it's anime, shut up" but how are there only 4 blue eyes, nevermind only one of each god cardlike ok yeah I get they're rare cards but... that's literally just not how printing presses work. and especially with all the ancient egypt shit surrounding the god cards I have to assume the logical answer of "they made a whole sheet and trashed the extra copies" doesn't apply here
>>96756764Well the God Cards specifically have divine intervention going for them. The literal Egypian Gods only allow one card each to exist and they literally kill people who use copies.But anyway, the cards in the original manga and anime were generally portrayed as much rarer than irl trading cards, like it was an expensive hobby to get into and anything but the weak cards is made in very low amounts.Though worht noting that cards aren't just paper, but have actual microchips in them, which are read by the duel disks later to project the holograms and know what the cards do.
>>96756787>Though worht noting that cards aren't just paper, but have actual microchips in them,we've had cards with NFC chips in them since at least the mid 2000s, so it's not like that aspect was out of the realm of possibility even in its time. Sure it'd drive the price up but not to some nigh-insurmountable level.
>>96756764Weren't the Egyptian God cards hand-crafted by Pegasus himself, or was that an anime-only thing?
>>96756764This >>96756787 applies, but also, the card company making them was run by a rich weird aristocrat coomer, burning through money to replace his deceased waifu with .png files, while possessed by a demonic relic made from ritually sacrificed threemilenial souls of the damned. His entire business model was "paint these weird demonic figures that appear to me after I replaced my eye with egypt not!vecna's, reflecting what they represented in the shadow games of pharaohs 3000 years ago, so their profane power can bring me back my girl", that's the power of autists with money from the start.Then, after he gets gored out and humiliated by japanese teens, the company moves to the hands of the even bigger autist, Kaiba, the greatest Ahab that ever lived, that makes it so the game never prints more Blue Eyes, giving him exclusive access to a (debatably) tier 0 monster for the sole reason of "I own the company" (not at all unrealistic for rich autists since we currently have Cristiano Ronaldo and Salvatore Ganacci in Fatal Fury), and only prints 1 copy of each god card because he's being tsundere and atheistic to spite the brown pussy destiny so easily handed to him. so he needs to let them have their ritualistic crap in order for him to disprove with the power of science or some existential human-centric materialistic thing.My "non-disproved" headcanon also includes that, since it was a MtG parody, there were probably also rare and low-printed alpha sets with broken cards before the game printed in larger numbers, and Kaiba can easily buy and mass destroy whatever he wants.>>96756856Now that you mention, I don't remember, but the power of autism and demonic rituals can bridge any gap in that.

Do you have any house rules to guard against Through-Armor Criticals in the early game?Or do you consider it valid when the first hit on a Crusader is a through-armor CT shot by an AC/2 leading into an ammo crit?
>>96756420Ideally, by having a regiment+ of painted minis from each major faction, many minor factions, and a few in varying generic camo schemes. That way you can usually have a force that's in 1, or at most 3, very closely related colors. So you might have a battalion scale game with your force in white, grey, and urban camo, against an OPFOR in olive drab, green&yellow, and generic woodland camo.
>>96756842Get good and roll dice better anon. TACs are part of the game and they aren't going anywhere.
>>96756860It's not fun for anyone to lose a mech to dumb luck within the first 3 turns. One player is going to be behind for the whole match and the other player just has a boring match ahead
>>96756420You can always mark forced other ways. I've considered making little thin base stands in colors that would attach neatly to the bottoms of my minis since I magnetize them. Otherwise, temporary stickers on bases are probably a great way to go. If you're worried about longevity you can rubber cement them on and they'll stay stuck semi-permanently, then you can remove the labels and rub off the adhesive with no residue.

Trying to decide how to equip my first team of mechs for Mobile Arms. So far the team is comprised of>Medium stealth mech outfitted with a shoulder mounted railgun, targetting array to shoot at mechs through walls and a personal AI to help assure the shot lands, and is piloted by a gunner specialist>Medium mech with a beam rifle and a chaingun. Both are outfitted with special ammunition that should tag enemy mechs so the railgun mech can lock onto them. Has a free hand so he could feasibly punch and fuck with any mechs that close in on him. Piloted by a heavy weapon specialistI'm pretty sure I want the 3rd and final member/pilot to be a spotter of some kind (pic related) that works in tandem with the sniper but my question is; what sounds like it'd be a cooler addition to the team mech wise?>Medium frontline/overwatch mech, outfitted with dual auto rifles loaded with tungsten rounds so it can lay some hurt down while spotting or running objectivesor>Roller-blading light mech outfitted for melee; wrist mounted gigascalpel, a free hand for punching and a module unit so the mech is followed around by a little gun drone buddy
