Vashtorr’s army is in turn being stalked by Sobek’s army, the few among Sobek’s followers who are still sane that is >I don’t know why this “Morris the first” has decided to help me, and I sense he also plans on double crossing me, but for now, my objectives are being met >I turn myself invisible, head to the Slaaneshi section of the stands, and then turn myself into an obese, deeply intoxicated looking cultist who few would have any reason to disturb so I can watch the game, and control the fans, in peace and quiet

>>97250694>>97250653>>97248866quick explanation from Spencer anoni figured using the Assprilla character to explain why Spencer could use the tags since Analstasia said only high ranking slaanesh hosts could use it i used the joke about the TSA being an inverse of the regular TSA where slaanesh forces get their requests inspected to make sure its heinous shit or worth gifting not that Assprilla is high ranking again didnt mean to cause confusion just meant to be a quick character reference since last time she was mentioned she was forced to work under Diane who was also a human turned daemonette so i thought it fit that she approve something to disrupt someone in a similar situation sorry for confusion to rest of thread

>>97249055For a Space Hulk or Space Crusade theme to really work, KT needs a blips system
>>97249087pls no blip
So do ops on vantage terrain always have light cover from enemies shooting that are lower then them? The rules on battlekit seemed inconsistent on that.

>>97251331Very cool I like him and look forward to seeing how he plays into the story.
>>97251909Why would that be unfortunate for me? It's unfortunate for them but I don't care, I will ignore the shitposting in the same way I will ignore the arena, nothing changes. And we don't even have enough anons for shitposting either anyway.
>>97252011>And we don't even have enough anons for shitposting either anyway.explain the last 10 threads
>>97252040They weren't in the festive period? Anons have shit to do now, they don't have time for shitposting. They had time back then. The proof is that even the attempts at shitposting lately are very shortlived. The shitposting will sadly come back with the rest of the anons after new year's, or maybe after the 6th-7th, depending on where they are in the world.
>>97251681Awesome! I don't know if I put it in a writeup or just a mental note but I hadn't previously had Liang Ba visit the north before. But since the timeline matches up nicely, I am happy to change that so it would be his first campaign. But since he would be a footman with a fake name I don't think he would have been notable back then. I guess it could still be useful for setting up links in the modern era though which would be very cool.>>97251776I had him as around 33, no more than 35.

>dwarf speaks>scottish accent
>>97249983Brother, if you think that all games are the same, that baseball and RPGs and chess and solitaire and Dwarf Fortress and Call of Duty and charades and beer pong are all fully analogous with each other, you're so clueless about pretty much everything related to any kind of a game that I'm not sure if there's a point in continuing this discussion.
>>97243183>These comics are just Polandball but homo Fixed
>>97233279Grognard here. Scottish Dwarves are D&D-specific. Many early D&D novels included scottish-accented dwarves. This is because one of the earliest sources of inspiration for D&D was Poul Anderson's "Three Hearts and Three Lions" which had among the first "scottish dwarves" depictions. After that, many fantasy series ran away with the scottish dwarf trope (Warcraft being probably one of the more popular examples)
>>97250094They are all structured according to rules that challenge various aspects of player skill and luck.They are all consistent with what can be done by who, how they can be done when and where, and why....except for TTRPGs, according to the storyfags, theater kids, and eternal worldbuilders that inhabit these hallowed halls.If the term "game" doesn't apply to an activity, don't call ita game, simple as that, "brother".
>>97233279>Humans>Jacks of all trades>in a world full of hyper-specialized species
In all seriousness, how can you get yourself to enjoy playing games when /tg/ players are so insufferable, socially and aesthetically in real life >try to play 40k >it's all actual obese autists with animes T shirts and don't understand the concept of an inside voice >try to play RPGs>It's fat 40 year olds with goatee or ungroomed beard and shaved head, marvel T shirt and jorts and wearing those weird flat Irish hats >visit LGS on card gaming night >take one whiff and immediately turn around and leave It's actually distressing because I want to actually get to play in the hobby I love so much, but it doesn't seem to be possible if you can't find normal people to play with Solution?
>>97250800Nice larp, nofriends. This is going to blow your mind, but a lot of people have a wide range of interests and it's very unlikely that anyone will 100% match up with all the same interests as you.
>>97250075Have you tried a "wargame" that isn't 40k? 40k attracts the absolute bottom of the barrel cretins to it because of its similarities to competitive video games. Personally for me I play Warhammer Fantasy, and I think by virtue of it being an old game that was dead for many years, mostly existing in a time before the widespread dissemination of the internet, and, perhaps, having more focus on narrative storytelling through gameplay, rather than meta competitive shit, I find that WHFB players tend to be older, have long term relationships, be better socialized, and tend to have a, generally, decent standard of hygiene and fitness (I can't remember the last time I played against a total blob, at worst it's manlets with a bit of a gut). However don't feel like you have to now go for WHFB, just look around the other wargaming scenes in your local community, there's a good chance at least one of them will be majority populated by, relatively, normal people. 40k is slop for piggies so attracts piggies with no discernable taste who value quantity over quality and generally have underdeveloped brains.
>>97251959/wfg/ is just as pathetic as 40kg, and somehow has even less fully painted armies
>>97250075>Why are there NERDS in the tabletop community?Gee, I wonder. It was never like that before.
>>97251959Good luck finding a game that isn't 40k nowadays. You either have to conjure your own group (fight against normalfags who DO NOT want to learn), or be lucky enough to have someone else do that very thing for you (extremely rare). There is a reason people first experience non-40k shit on table top sim rather than real life.

>>97238715>Very disappointing that they would rather create a new 'pseudo vintage' format instead of supporting the existing one.I agree with the sentiment but I think you're still misunderstanding the situation a bit, turning explorer into "tournament pioneer" was feasible not just because the most important cards were already on the client, it was also because pioneer is the nonrotating format with the smallest card pool, there are only so many cards not on the client currently that could suddenly become competitive and force them to include them in a hurry, vintage isn't just the power 9 + banned legacy cards, it's the entire 30 year history of magic, the premise of turning timeless into "tournament vintage" is just completely beyond their scopehistoric exists because the timing of introducing pioneer was not coordinated with the arena team and the game needed a nonrotating format to deal with rotation and timeless exists because we kept getting cards banned in historic without having anywhere else to play them, neither of these formats were created with the idea of eventually transitioning into other formats, they're just results of arena having to deal with all the stuff they keep shoving into standard sets
What deck are you using to bully Izzet Lessons?

mmm i fucking love adversarial rigged algorithms. so much fucking fun to log on this game and click the play button5 fucking opponents in a row hogging priority, there is literally zero fucking chance this happened without being rigged. i was forced to lose each game too. they find a way to hog EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE FUCKING PRIORITY and drag a fucking 2 minute game out to 10 minutes several games in a row and i never had a chance to win any of them, it's a fucking humiliation ritual. fuck the jewish retards who made this game. i hope they all get cancer and die early
>>97251834This. Only stinky, dirty, sweaty, and retarded third world niggers and bots “play” this “game” anymore.
Remember this? what happened. It was supposed to be the next big thing, but all of a sudden I only hear about Lorcana and One Piece.
>>97242821It seems monster-catching is not destined for traditional RPGs
>>97242868The did happen. They even had backdrops and props to trigger those effects. The real problem was it was infested with investors meaning once they left they didn't have any money. One of its biggest investors a rapper convinced them to do cyrpto.
>>97242821>>97242868I bought two starter decks and a bunch of booster packs for absurdly cheap (somewhere in the ballpark of 90% off) last year because a FLGS was trying to clear out their stock. If I can find someone stupid enough to play with me I'll give the game a fair try some day.
>>97242821it WAS big, then faded, pretty normalNow sorcery is its successor
>>97242821>card game about cryptids>generic "you are a sorcerer summoning monsters" backdrop>generic spell cards like "fire ball" or "cold mist">a million different equip items that are all pretty much worse than just playing a spell>regular ass lands like "ocean" or "forest" and like 12 different categories of themThis game was maybe 1/4 baked at best>>97242868Oh yeah how could i forget, basically every card is a massive wall of text and 90% of the """meta effects""" were "wear a silly thing". Oh and there was a limit on meta items you were allowed to use, and combo items counted as seperate things, so if you need something orange on the table and a plant in your FoV, bringing a pumpkin counts as 2 items.

>>97232116Fuck sniggers.
>>97251725Conan would fuck snake girls
>>97251626>Many agricultural societies would take the opposite tack, because snakes eat what's eating the stuff you grow.Just because a snake hunts vermin doesn't mean it won't lash out if you make a wrong move out in the fields, which people spent a lot of time in thus raising the likelihood of crossing paths with one. Not to mention lack of modern construction methods made it easy for snakes to enters homes looking for food or shelter.>Christian, definitely.Non-denoms really went off the rails and unnecessarily emphasizing inconsequential details; Moses used a bronze snake to cure snakebites and Jesus told people to be "wise as serpents".
>>97251879Venomous snakes are highly avoidant because hunting said vermin takes the use of their venom, which they cannot just spend on every fucking bite. While a lot of agricultural societies did pick up cats instead, ones that were fond of snakes for pest control existed. And that aside, a lot of non-venomous snakes, or those that have venom that only really poses a risk to invertebrates or birds or another actual prey target that is never humans, also run what humans would consider pest control if they weren't frothing religious zealots that thought they needed to behead garter snakes with shovels because Satan talking snake something something.
You should ALWAYS cheese every encounter. If you EVER end up in a situation that even remotely resembles a fair fight, just run away and wait until you can rig the situation to your favor. Use your fucking brain. Even if it is highly improbable for you to lose a given fight, statistically speaking, you'll still eventually croak if you keep taking those bets. Don't leave it up to chance. It's easier than you might think, you just need to use your noggin. It's not a video game. You can do whatever the fuck you want.Just the other night my party ran into a melee monster in a narrow ass room that they for some reason decided to ram their dicks into until someone died. When I suggested that we retreat for a bit and lure it into the room with the big ass statues so we can all just climb them and shoot it to death, they looked at me like I just escaped from the looney bin. They all died of course.
>>97251045From my experience, most character deaths come from the GM underestimating just how dangerous a monster (or their environment) actually is.
>>97250948The GM will just ramp up the encounter difficulty if you do that, leaving you back where you started. Except now you don't have any wiggle room and MUST minmax each fight.
>>97251862You know what they say. Never get between a rat and his cheese.
>>97250948>take an easy win because the GM forgot about some specific interaction or whateverFair enough>run away from every encounter that doesn't have a 100% win chanceFaggot shit and I'll kick you out of my table and keep the players who want to actually play
>>97252075Cry, bitch. I'm simply smarter than you.
