>>97245444You're right. The ultimate Chad approach is to use a true cream of the crop amongst Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve for the HFY (Vampires)
>Oh look, a setting where the crushing monotony of reality is disrupted with excitement, magic and sincere yearning for a better world.>I believe that I shall throw my support behind the bureaucratic elite who wish to eliminate all of these disruptive elements and make this setting as stale and dull as our real world.

>>97245648The alternative is wizard slavery though.
>>97245621That's, like, just being Italian/Greek.
In your game, do you treat bows as strength- or dexterity-based weapons?
>>97239801That's every weapon though.

>>97245504i saw a comment somewhere from an australian saying he got like 35 unique foils out of 20 boxes lol he was obviously trolling. They're just pissed that they got dragonlord and gothic late and in typical OZ fashion are being cunts
>>97245504clumping is a real thing i opened a wave 1 beta box that had maybe 1 ordinary/ex foil 2 elite and about 4 foil uniques. Also opened an arthurian legends case that had several unique foils and a curio
>>97245805>clumping is a real thingThat's what the baby wipes are for.
>>97245111>>97245239bro why do you hate sorcery so much lol? it's a chill game and the appeal/demand is pretty organic. Sorcery has picked up a lot of people who showed first-time interest in TCGs this year when they discovered that MTG and everything else out is gay as fuck. You keep saying any genuine criticism of it gets shot down immediately by investor shills but I have yet to see you give any.
>>97245846You know where you belong. (looking for used pamps in the bin)

>>97238337gila my beloved
>>97245170Definitely check it out. It’s been one of the most dynamic campaigns I’ve run, and my players who are usually goodie-two shoes are constantly at odds with doing work for horrible people because the payout is sometimes that good, and there’s like 150+ things you can spend money on in that supplement.
How can I build pic related in Lancer? I also accept any of the others Crossbones out there.
>>97245764Flavor is free, so presumably you can get something like Sherman R2 for the Andromeda and just flavor it as a giant crossbow. If you mean it to be wide, you could get Genghis 3 for plasma thrower instead, cone 7 - it can also serve double duty and do a line 10 attack too for a more precise shot.
>>97245813Genghis 3 for the Plasma Thrower to represent the Peacock Smasher. Swallowtail 2 for the SSC Oracle LMG-I to mount on a Core Bonus GMS integrated mount to represent the head vulcans and chest machine guns, Blackbeard 2 or Black Witch 1 for the grapple cables and then a Charge Blade for the melee weapon? I don't think there's any other melee weapon that would fit and swing harder since the Plasma Thrower is Super Heavy.
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>>97243642it does, you sound extremely gay now
>>97234702I gave it a try, not my thing
>>97234702Why must men have to degrade and dehumanize womem like this? Be it op pic "playing as a female character". It always a man's gateway and dog whistle subtle way of expression of his hatred and disdain towards women where they always have to make women be dehumanized sex objects for whatever inevitable rape scene they will subject her to. And just make her into a forever victim to be abused and assaulted.So a better question is; WHY do you men just hate and despise women this much?
>>97245574I love women. Women hate women. That's why they try so hard to be like men.
>>97234702I liked it so much I became one irl
Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
>>97244349What are you on about?
>>97229027This looks like shit!
>>97229027In my game, magic is appropriate for war, and classes are designed for their roles in battles against the numerous forces of evil in their world, instead of just being some arbitrary distinctions based on 70s pop culture literature and movies, mutated and neutered to please "the modern audience".

>>97245808>plasticthey're overpriced resin. That's the big issue
>>97244587overpriced garbage. Literally only retards are buying GW washes in 2025. You can make a superior oil wash in a gallon for the price of GW's tiny bottles of inferior wash, and with the ability to use white spirits to selectively remove the wash from raised surfaces even after it has dried. Buying GW glue or GW washes or GW tools is always a dumb choice.
>>97245817oh, they Really malicious complianced it hard then. Literally aborted at birth. $39 for a single resin spear and one axe. I skipped them even for $10 on recast site because how useless the weapons are. 40 bucks for 1/3rd of a set of weapons wouldn't be a good deal even in plastic.
>>97245817material's not even the issue. In plastic they wouldn't be worth buying. A $40 lascannon kit comes with 10 lascannons, 10 autocannons and 10 volkite culverins.A $40 SoH upgrade kit has 1 single terminator Banestrike bolter in it. It should have at minimum 10 terminator Banestrikes, 10 power armor Banestrikes, 10 Carsoran axes and at least 3 Carsoran Tabars. Thata'd still already be less stuff than the heavy weapon set considering it's bolters not huge lascannons.
Damn did they finally make not ridiculous imperialis assembly?
>need to read one or more literal textbooks before being able to engage with the gamehonestly that's kinda crazy
>40 pages for average game rules>calling it a textbookI get what you mean. But maybe you'd have a more fun time playing videogames. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
>>97245023>Youre the problem playerYou still havent answered anyones questions as to why someone shouldn't be allowed to read the DMG.What's wrong faggot, mad when someone other than you knows the rules and calls you out for cheating like a little bitch?
>>97235374very easy to avoid by not playing bloated jokes of games like D&D
>>97235374That's the point, it's a fucking book. You read the book and you can play the game in the words of the book. Do you complain about your new video game not working when the console isn't plugged into the wall? Or isn't connected to a screen?>I should just be able to engage with the game after opening the box. >I should be able to engage with Tiktok without making an account >I should be able to engage with the table after holding the wood planks and hammer.
>>97245838Considering there are people who insist on playing board games like Risk and Monopoly without reading the rules by “learning as we play” and then get angry when they don’t understand how to play the game, OP might be one of those people

>>97241180Shroud from Dispatch gave me the idea to have a villain who gives his villains cybernetic implants, especially ones that enhance their existing powers, in my supers setting. What supers system does such implants/augmentations best Abby why? Also, what kinds of implants make sense for different kinds of powers without just directly copying the characters in the game? For a speedster for example, I can see increasing their senses so they can better react to things at super-speed, for example, what do you think?
>>97244196Bro, if you want speedsters put what amlunt to a mini-engine in their legs that propels them forward, only drawback is that they cannot drift or turn mid-speed. So it's like a rocket.
>>97241180Never done a holiday campaign, always too busy around that time of the year, but thanks for making a new thread, OP. BTW, what’s the in-setting lore for how people get powers in your preferred/original supers settings? I go in deep on that kind of thing and I’m planning on creating such an original setting with lore on that kind of thing and I could use some help please. Especially since one of the major villains is a knockoff of Sinister from X-Men, who studies the DNA of supers in order to try and replicate specific powers. He’s especially interested in where the energy for superhuman bullshit comes from so he can use special supers as living batteries for Mecha and shit.

>>97244772>pick a laneI did. Brass is a much cleaner design. >>97244784>no gambling allowedLive alittle. 5 dollars between friends is nothing. You can't even play a proper hand of Blackjack anymore without 5x that amount.
>>97245216It's reasonably different from both of those. You have a hand of cards of rank 1 or 2 in 4 suits (+wild) that you spend as currency in auctions. Each auction accepts only 2 of the suits.EGO has two types of auction: turn order until pass and simultaneous reveal. In both cases you're determing an order to draft rewards, where some of the "rewards" players will have to take are penalties.The main gimmick is that in turn order until pass auctions you have the option to push your luck instead of passing.You flip the top two cards of the deck and check their suits. If both fit the auction you add them to your bid. If neither fit the auction you discard them and pass. If one matches you add it to your bid, discard the other card, and lose victory points.
Got back into boardgaming earlier this year, so I got five games (+ bonus) this Christmas. >HeatHaven't played this one yet, but the premise sounds fun and the machines sound interesting enough. Also it's a light-medium game that can work decently on most player counts so that is nice. Also likes that it has some advanced rules and a tournament mode that could make future games even more interesting. >Robinson CrusoePlay like two turns of this before I went to sleep yesterday and after waking up today. It needed lots of rule reading but I think I got my head around the basic game flow more or less. The rule pamphlet is like 40 pages but I don't think you need to read more than 10-20 of them to actually play the game. I like the castaway theme and that it's a game that can be played solo. I also don't mind the dice RNG (got the impression that some people do) and don't mind that a game can be screwed over mostly by luck. ROOT: UnderworldPlay some games of Root with a friend group like a month ago and that was a fun experience, so I wanted to get one of the expansions to have some variations in the player setup (and to have the option of not having a vagabond in every, as they have too little direct interactions with the other factions). Got the Underworld one because of the one militant faction like the dutchy and one simple insurgent one like the corvids and partially it was the only one of the big expiations I could buy in my country as all of them are sold out in most stores. I think I also should get the Exiles and Partisans Deck soon as I've heard that one makes crafting a lot more accessible and is the one most veteran/long time player plays with.
>>97245801Cont.>Spirt IslandHaven’t played this one yet. Sounds like a cool co-op (with solo mode) game with a good amount of depths and replayability. Looking forward to delving into this one another day.>Sushi Go PartyGot to get some more sleeves before I play this one. I played Sushi Go a few years ago and remembered it being fun for a pretty light game, so I decided I wanted the “delux” version to have a fun and light game to play with bigger groups. >Dominoin Big Box (Bonus) My Christmas gift to my younger brother. Me, him, my older brother and my dad use to play the original one back in around 2011-2013. He seemed to have fond memories of it, so I decided to buy it for him. It was a great success as we have already played like 7 games already. Really appreciate how easy it was to teach and how repayable it feels when you have 52 different kingdom cards. Kinda regret buy him it because I want my own copy, but I don’t have that much space at his place so I might be able to keep in in my place a good chunk of the time. Else I’ll just buy the base game/base card + one expansion in the future. Also from my impression, most of the expansions are really good and it’s more up to personal taste on which one people like the most. I think I personally would buy Cornucopia & Guilds (2nd edition) and then Renaissance, but all of them look like interesting add-ons! Alchemy is the only bad one I think, but that most due to the potion mechanic combined with the low amount of cards that makes bad (or at least bad value due to costing 70-75 of most other expansions that have at least double the amount of content)Thanks for reading my little blogpost. Hope you other anons here had a nice christmas and got some nice board games to play in 2026 too.
>>97245801>to have the option of not having a vagabond in every,The rulebook should mention this but the game goes in a weird direction if you have 3 militant factions. The moles should replace the cats or the birds when you include them. The crows can replace the raccoon in a 4 player game.

Are goremongers a one box team or do I need to buy a second box?
>>97205958What podcast?
>>97245746On battlekit, says team size is 8 (1x leader, 7x operatives), and there's 8 in the box, so I'd say yes, it's a one-box KT
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97245035Helps to nerf*
>>97245050Likely yes. GW has changed the game to appeal to mtg waacs. Do you know how much money those people spend? It’s insane. Unless that dries up the game will continue to be “streamlined” and designed around pre-canned “synergies” and “combos”.
>>97226097>Was there stuff about 8th that was largely considered bad?Horrendous balance both internal and external, spam armies (this is where rule of 3 came from), Space Marine supplements, one-wound firstborn marines, indirect fire, aircraft, no cap on to-hit modifiers, character untargetability rules, Tau shield drones, Eldar through the entire edition were obscenely overpowered, “seize the initiative” (one in six chance the person going second instead goes first)
>>97245050Jokes on you I already checked out. Bring the sloppa forward (to subsidize the games I play now)

>>97245669Ones that acknowledge the pilot as legs? Can you not see the difference between OP's image and the models he posted?
Who was in the right?
>>97222833>bad faith faggot confirms he's a cock-sucking shitposter
>>97242053IMO the small scale individual actions are the least interesting part of SMAC, its just not that type of game or scale. I'd run it with Kingdom or Microscope.
You can get all of the tech tree and use any of the social engineering as any of the factions. They're all ideologically motivated to excuse themselves with >no bad tactics only bad targets (post)humanism is a hellofa drug.
>>97242053>>97245029I was thinking maybe the recent Modiphius Dune RPG would be a good basis. It supports different levels of interaction from basic assets doing mission-type thingss up to inter- and intra faction politics led by specific named characters. You could either pre-stat the various Factions as Dune Houses or use the rules to let players make their own.
>>97242053>goofy riff on the above using MAID(?!?), where PCs are vying for the affection of their faction leaderJust do it with GURPS social rules, MAID's dice mechanic sucks donkey balls
