>so if the Imperium ever figures out a truly safe form of faster-than-light travel, it would face horrific rebel problems all across the galaxy
...Why? I don't see the connection between the two.
>da emperor
99% of all humans in the imperium will never do any kind of FTL travel. Short of the FTL travel being zero cost teleportation, any kind of FTL would still be monopolized and controlled by the imperium, becauase they have all the money, resources and military might. Worship of the emperor wouldn't stop either, he would remain a god, he just wouldn't actually be doing anything.
> By contrast, the Imperium in 40k doesn’t have a rebel problem as severe as the Galactic Empire
Do the words "Horus Heresy" mean nothing to you?

>>97347172
>..Why? I don't see the connection between the two
Rebellion in the Imperium is already common, Life on many Imperial worlds is brutal, but because civilians lack access to FTL travel, they have nowhere to run. Most uprisings are forced to rely on the resources of a single world when Imperial reinforcements arrive, which makes them relatively easy to contain and crush.

If safe, reliable, and widely available FTL travel existed, rebels wouldn’t just be able to escape but be able to link up with resistance movements on other worlds. That turns isolated revolts into coordinated, multi-system rebellions.

>Do the words "Horus Heresy" mean nothing to you?

So, your proof is some sped-tier "logic" that basically denies that the creation of OD&D was possible? Look up the population of Lake Geneva in the 1970s, Anon. Gygax claimed that he DMed different groups 6-7 days a week in that town and that he ended up having so many different players that he had to get Rob Kuntz to co-DM the game with him to be able to handle all the interested players.

I skimmed through it but it seems to be simply another map generator. I don't see the point of those, since its effectively the same as me creating one of my own (or use an existing one from previous campaigns, which is something I traditionally do)

>there's unknown hexes!
Whatever West Marches was originally is of little to no importance - what matters is what we make of it. I don't think that WM needs to be about hexcrawl, but I want my campaign to be a hexcrawl, and the unknown hexes aspect of it is the BIG thing that's getting me hyped about it. Traditionally, as the DM, I will prepare stuff and then more passively watch players go through it - its fun, but I've done it dozens of times. By generating hexes on the run, I'm hoping to be part of the discovery and enjoy the thrill of it

I've tested my hex generation procedure (explained here >>97335816), made some tweaks, probably will test it again by myself a bit more before running the test session this Thursday

Time for the "You are playing it wrong" post
Inspired by the post at >>97340961

Only roll when failing has an impact on the characters, even if its just taking up time or using resources. If failing doesn't mean anything, use the Auto Success mechanic as a basic threshold (or assume eventually rolling a 20 over 20 checks).

When exploring in dungeons or the wilderness, remember that travel speed matters. Exploration rounds take 1 minute each and you move at 10 times your speed per round. If you are travelling at a fast speed you move one third more but take -5 on your Perception checks. If you are travelling at a slow pace it is at two thirds normal pace but this lets you roll stealth (yes two thirds, not half speed).

Every action taken in Exploration takes one minute, that includes picking the lock, looking in one 10 foot square, or trying to break down the door.

When making Skill checks during Exploration, you are expected to keep the same check unless circumstances change. This include stealth and tracking. Stealth is made against the PASSIVE perception check of anyone that may see them, and failing that means they are on alert, they dont know you are there until they actively look. Roll another Stealth check against their ACTIVE check. Also Passive Perception is a floor, if you roll lower than this you use passive as your active result. This is confirmed as intended.

Darkvision makes things black and white and Dim Light. Dim Light gives disadvantage on perception checks, giving you -5 on your passive check. Similarly Advantage gives +5.

Long Rests give back half of your total Hit Dice, not all of them. Short Rest Hit Dice spending lets you spend one at a time. Yes, an hour of attempted Long Rest counts as a Short Rest.

Continued

Social Rolls are not mind control and have a very clearly defined chart. The DC is determined by their attitude and what you are asking them to give up in exchange. Buying their favour or saying something particularly persuasive in line with their goals (they want diplomacy, you offer peace for instance) can temporarily increase the attitude, conversely saying something offensive will lower the atiitude. Attitude also impacts the most they will be willing to risk in helping you.

A Long Rest consists of 2 hours of Light Activity and up to just under an hour of Strenuous Activity (Walking fighting and casting a spell). You can have these split through out your 8 hour rest period, so yes this means during your long rest you can cast spells but if your total exertion time is over 1 hour, or 2 hours for light activity, you must start again.

A natural 20 and natural 1 does impact Skill rolls. If a check would succeed and you roll a 20, it is a greater success than normal. Failing and rolling a 1 gives a worse result. You may also opt for a success with a cost on checks that fail by 1 or 2 points.

Mob mechanics exist for swarms of small guys and mooks. Read them.

Creatures count as cover for ranged attacks.

The Difficulty chart goes from 5 to 30. RAW 30 is the highest difficulty any check that isn't opposed can be.

Which mech RPG would you suggest for someone making their own setting?
I plan on doing something on a near-future earth, so you know, most established settings won't work.

>>97347457
Battle Century and Mekton are the most "toolkit" systems, meant to be customized. If those don't fit your needs, you may be able to refluff and modify another game that has mechanics closer to what you need.

What about your setting makes it different? For example, are the mechs more primitive because the tech level is closer to the real world? And what kind of things do you want to have in the game, what level of crunch do you want?

This, but unironically.

Its easy to look at this character design and see advantages: wall climbing, presumably increased carrying weight on those legs, perception bonus from multiple legs, etc.

What would the downsides to a spider-taur be, ignoring for the moment any social ones? What would such a spider person actually be worse at than a human? The two that come to mind for me are "armor becomes a problem, making them squishy in a fight" and "have trouble fitting into small spaces". The former is significant, the latter mostly isn't. Spiders are actually really good at squeezing through cracks and stuff, so I imagine that a spider-taur will be able to get through a human sized doorway or hall just fine, even if they will look weird doing it.

>>97344832
>Mass and metabolic demand
Approximately 18% of a person's weight is in their legs. Each of the spider-taur's legs might be a little thinner than a humans but having 8 of them is still going to add a significant amount to their overall bodyweight. That will result in a commensurate increase in their basal metabolic rate and therefore the amount of calories they require to survive.
>Walking efficiency
Walking on two legs is significantly more efficient than walking on four. I suspect the comparison becomes even more dramatic against eight.
>Packing efficiency
Good luck forming a shield wall or phalanx. Volley fire with bows or muskets is less effective when you're spread out too.
>Reach
Good luck defending your legs against someone to your side or your rear against someone behind you.

>>97343404
both are fine

>>97343404
Depends on the setting, the game, and your group.

>>97346249
>That will result in a commensurate increase in their basal metabolic rate and therefore the amount of calories they require to survive.
Not if they run on arthropodal metabolic rates, though that would entail much greater susceptibility to wounds and inappropriate temperatures.

>Walking on two legs is significantly more efficient than walking on four. I suspect the comparison becomes even more dramatic against eight.
There's differences the joint arrangement makes for that make me think otherwise, at least as a trained marching-gait, as spider-legs are much easier to just barely raise above the ground then shift forward with speed. But it does cost them throwing ability, so they have to wait for slings for ranged parity (...which already don't work with tight formations)

>Good luck forming a shield wall or phalanx. Volley fire with bows or muskets is less effective when you're spread out too.
While depth of rank is compromised, width can be deceptively little if the legs can be pulled in enough and the leg arrangement braces better so depth isn't as necessary to resist a press. Definitely going to need bigger shields with commensurate upper body strength demands.

>Good luck defending your legs against someone to your side or your rear against someone behind you.
The exoskeleton gives a very obvious example for form-fitting full plate armoring of it, which in combination with the better footing means they're going to need more significantly outnumbered than simple area-coverage would imply when richly equipped. And formation fighting still works despite the lower packing efficiency.

In summary, they're almost certainly favorable for logistics at short distances and have a decent chance at longer ones, but take casualties more severely especially in the latter case. On the field, they're likely doing better in uneven terrain and in niches like the block-breaking zweihander units or skirmishing infantry, but need more costly equipment to support it.

>>97348047
Maybe stipling very lightly.

>>97345118
>Why does paint randomly not adhere to some parts of a model? It seems to just "shimmer" away or retreat or w/e. The model is primed, and there's not an inconsistency in the coverage. Like it covers fine in most places but there's always someplace where it won't.
Same situation here, specifically for contrast/speedpaint type paints. I'd have chalked it up to one of >>97345877, but these are freshly primed models (a few days ago, so properly dried) that weren't handled in any way.

A boolean would be the proper way to do it; Combine just acts like the Group function in a paint program, say (freezes the part positions, but leaves any mesh intersections in place). You could potentially end up with voids just using Combine without fixing the model in post (Windows 3d builder works remarkably well).
