>>93251807>Like going to the tournament and shit?No, I want to play 1000pts one-shot games with lads at my place since the group is so small it's pointless to drive to LGS if we can just meet at one's place from time to time.>If you just want to play casually then play narrative that give quests and progression. Read the rules here, cards are just rule reference.Oh I know Warcrier. I simply find it quite confusing since there are so many rules. DLCs and shit I have a hard time to tell what parts I can skip.
>>93252011>Reading is hardMaybe watch a youtube battle report instead. If you actually read the rules there aren't a lot of words. Most of the expansions did was adding more factions and narrative play stuff.
>>93250267You buy it for the cheaper Orlock price, don't but the grav fist as it's meh, and infiltrate into threatening positions without overextending. The melta guns will never hit anything at range but are too big of a threat to ignore, and once you charge something it dies. If you are playing dominion you go for the mine territory, and then your campaign is dull as you have an undercosted high-value brute giving you excess creds.
>>93251678Officially matched play stuff is just playing with all the symmetrical deployments/victory condition cards (they'll have a special symbol in the corner that indicates they're intended for matched play). For playing 1-of games I'd recommend just using the full spread of deployment/victory condition/twist cards from the Heart of Ghur cards/core rulebook - and if you want even more vsriety, throw in the cards from any of the 2nd edition expansions as well. There should be a mission shuffler linked in the OP pastebin that lets you filter cards by what box they released in.
What blood bowl teams work well on their own without needing star players to carry them?

>>93254928I dislike the setting; like Hank Hill on Christian rock, the orcs and wizards are just making cyberpunk worse. I really hate the system mechanically.
>>93254985>Soft covers Kinda sorta? They're softer than trades but firmer than comics. The covers are more resilient than the pages. There are separate character sheets that have pre-filled stats and such. I would imagine that make it very easy for the DM to just hand players sheets based on the kind of character they want to play. As far as teaching people to play the game on the fly I wouldn't be comfortable doing that myself but I also haven't read the book yet. Supposedly the jacket mission kit is designed to ease players into general gameplay mechanics and gradually introduce them to different facets of the game.
>>93251584For setting fluff? CP2020, and Night City Sourcebook. A good chunk of Red is copy-pasted. My first PC was a Lawman, but I just really enjoyed stuff like The Wire and The Shield; so gritty corrupt cop stuff felt like a very good fit for what I enjoy. I liked being able to fight, but also do some interesting things in RP because of my role.Personally, I would not recommend a Solo, unless you know you're a combat guy in other RPGs. I think a lot of the others invite you to play into the neo-noir of the setting.
>>93230463What do you need? I'm creating ones with IA/stealing art for my personal campaign and could use some fillers.Minis are interesting for creating tactical fights; you'd need a sniper, a psy with limited reach, someone trying to infiltrate, some mcGuffin to retrieve/copy/steal/replace/destroy; something to make it worth having a tacticak fight instead of just "shooting from cover", involving positions, opportunities and aiming.Otherwise, you're cool with a more relaxed approach ^_^
>>93230463If you want corporate or police goons, there are a billion small 28/15mm SF wargame lines.Are you looking for civilians? Chromed out gangsters?

I'm playing a warhammer fantasy ttrpg campaign with a rat catcher that's pretty much pic related but imperial. Can anyone just draw on top of the pic to make this absolute unit look like a warhammer character/adventurer?I tried to do it myself but paint with a mouse was too difficult
>>93248340Very nice
>>93249455So....crocodile daddy?
>>93254239A little bit. Basically he saw a father and son gathering things around his swamp and followed them home. He was chased off by fearful villagers, then came back with a freshly stripped deerskin loincloth, because obviously the villagers were just mad that he was naked! Eventually he just took to sunbathing in the middle of the village and kids started climbing and playing on him.
>>93254936Thats a lovely story. Can I draw him with a dad body?
Do you like the sillier vampire weaknesses, like crosses, garlic, inability to enter a home without being invited, and so on?
>>93254460Wow how did you get a drawing signed by Dracula?
>>93254728Which is basically why his knockoffs like Castlevania Dracula amd Strahd were wizards who threw fireballs and teleported all over the place
>>93249846I've always wanted to play a vampire in something like DnD to see how I can adapt to all these shitty weaknesses, but the system would have to allow for it. VtM vampires are too functional
>>93254795An old Doctor Who episode did it and took it even further, with a Soviet soldier successfully driving off several vampires using his CCCP pin badge because he was a true believer in the communist cause.
>>93255077>VtM vampires are too functionalThe traditional weaknesses are in the game but they're optional flaws you can choose during character creation, if you want to you can make a full-on Dracula guy with crippling mythological autism and an instadeath spot on his chest.
Putting my dislike towards extinction curse aside, I'm genuinely surprised that gatewalkers didn't made it into list, literally best 2e pathfinder adventure>10. Age Of Ashes>9. Agents Of Edgewatch>8. Blood Lords>7. Abomination Vaults>6. Fist Of The Ruby Phoenix>5. Season Of Ghosts>4. Quest For The Frozen Flame(actually pretty good too)>3. Strength Of Thousands>2. Kingmaker 2e>1. Extinction Curse
>>93234861>or obvious writer self insert Mary Sue characters who will always be the smartest person in the roomCan't name a single one in last two years
>>93225505Are there more than 10 of them for 2e, even?Abomination Vaults was all right, but it suffers terribly from being a megadungeon without wandering monsters as written. The threat of the lighthouse is nebulous and not particularly pressuring and the party's only real limit on their dungeon crawl is encumbrance.
>>93249559Sounds like classic megadungeon, literally type of adventure /tg/ loves the most
>>93249574No, the classic would not, as written, let you go jack off for an hour to heal up before walking into the next room. You'd have a wandering monster at least forcing you to think about where you sit.Also will-o-wisps fucking SUCK in PF2e and if I run Vaults again I would rewrite it slightly to replace them with another monster family.
>>93249581Suck as in "boring and unpleasant", or suck as in "will probably kill the party without really trying"?

>the adventuring party has to get dressed up to go to a fancy ballwhy is this such a common cliche in campaigns and has it ever actually been fun?
>>93245639Because the upper classes in pretty much every civilization maintain a dress code.

>>93245639It was fun. My character was the only one that was familiar with the 'refined' environment. Me and the parties face ( a former con-artist) played a game of saying the the most obscene lines in conversation, the winning being the one that called the most attention to them.

And what are the gods of said faiths?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>93254395Y'know im probably just overthinking it, it can be whatever really, a piece of one plate retracted, volcanic or dangly like you said.what really matters is figuring out the local climate, from what i've seen where i've placed it the islands will be in a nice spot to get currents coming east and west and the waters are cool which i think means that they'd be temperate to boreal? like oregon or england maybe.
>>93254073Because a certain faggot kept gay threads alive for a fucking month with gay little bumps like "could you elaborate on that" or "besides the obvious, what can we do about x y z". He had a particular, profoundly autistic obsession with magic, magic systems, elements, and children's cartoons. He's still around, and he's still obnoxious.
>>93248678I’m trying to make a setting where all the deities, save maybe for a singular god of Balance, all either fall to the Lawful and Chaotic sides of the Alignment chart, as those two forces are the most dominant in the known planes. Are there any preexisting settings that do the concept justice that I can look at for it ideas, particularly on what domains would go to each side like a Law god of Justice, or how their religions might work (that are not Warhammer, since that’s both darker than what I’m looking for and has no benevolent Chaos deities, not to mention the insane Chaos cultists)?
I don't have gods in the traditional sense but I do have godlike beings. The faiths of my setting are either based on the progenitors of the different races or the creators of different magics.Beastfolk and Dwarves - the Great beasts or the Earth warden. Angels and Halflings - the Archangels or the Wind khan.Leviathans and Merfolk - the Krakens or the Water lord.Light Elves and Dark Elves - the Fae or the Fire rider.Humans - worship the Cosmos and their ancestors but some will mix it with elements of other faiths.Various fiend tribes - mostly atheist but some cults devoted to historical demon kings exist in secret.
What is a good excuse for warp drives only allowing warp in/out from outside a star system? I am considering some rationale along the lines of:>can technically warp anywhere but some degree coordinate jitter is unavoidable>near strong gravity wells the jitter becomes worse, both warping out and warping inEg. outside the Kuiper Belt you could have an entire convoy warp out within 100km of each other without worrying, and be within 5km of a specific target, but as you get deeper in a system or near a planet the jitter massively increases to the point of being a crapshoot. >however it is possible to set up "channels" or "locks" or whatever which reduce jitter in systems>thus making trade and travel easier since it can be deeper within a system and less slow travel is required>and creates a chokepoint for defense, tarriffing, inspections, etcThough this does make me worry about "traffic jams" and how you would coordinate the arrival of ships entering the channel from different starting points. Even if it was a spherical area 1,000km across, and normal traffic was as low as 100 ships a day, not knowing if the channel is clear before you enter it seems thorny without communications with the canal authority. Perhaps the process is; send a probe to the outside of the system, it petitions the authority which then figures out when in the schedule the new arrival can come in according to some Universal Time, tells the probe still chilling outside the system which then zips back to the rest of the convoy, conveys their timetable, everyone gets ready then warps in to the canal at the scheduled time and then makes way for the next incoming vessel. On the other hand I'm already assuming torchships capable of 1g continuous thrust for days. If you can do the Brachistochrone from the equivalent of the Kuiper belt to earth in a little over a week anyways, maybe this doesn't matter much and would be strictly for government/military use. Thoughts?
>PiratesCan we make piracy great again? I don't understand why people don't like the idea of freedom, wandering in search of adventures, glory and treasure, this is de facto the usual formula for standard adventurer campaign, but on the sea.
>>93227538
>>93227186>all while having the freedom to leave and go somewhere else whenever they please.That's a treatable delusion. Sea travel is fucking expensive, that's like letting a starship captain just up and ignore the most recent plot without jacking enough loot to pay the bills.
>>93227165Piracy and necromancy is an underutilized combination in my opinion. Imagine something like the cursed pirates from the first Pirates movie, but without a mind or soul to suffer, or undead sharks that can attack ships from below.
>>93253569Have you tried Pirateborg?It's pretty great. Classic Murdery OSR in a pirates of the Carribean style cursed ocean.

>>93249943Personally I hate fluff stories and almost never read them.Might be necessary to fully flesh out your setting, tho.I like more vehicles and maps. My style is to provide all the tools and goodies for players, and then let them do as they will. Not everyone does that.If you're scared of bloat, then edit ruthlessly.Some sample adventures and ideas wouldn't go amiss (unless they're already in there and I missed them).
I've been thinking, why would anyone join Khorne in warhammer? Feels like he's the most worthless chaos god.Even if you are warrior and want to get better than anyone else at killing, slaanesh is way better bet.
>>93252039>slaanesh is way better bet.This!Sickly, sinful, spectacles stand, shuffle, shamble and saunter shamelessly in mine scandalized sight! I suggest a solution... Surely such sedition should sour and succumb to Sigvald - the salacious, scandalous and sensational servant of Slaanesh! Son of Succubi, scion of sordid acts and slayer of squalid serfs! See how I stroll, stride, swagger and swirl, spin, slash and stab at stupid, senseless scum! Soon they shall swoon, shall seek solace and death from sundry torments wrought on them by my strategic, severing, scintillating shower of shimmering strikes! Send for the sword - summon Sliverslash!
>>93252039>slaanesh is way better bet.But only if you happen to be a novel protagonist with the power of PLOT on your side. Otherwise you might end up like these fine fellas here
>>93254767Ah, what pitiful prattle from the mouth of a misinformed malcontent! This feeble fellow dares to decry the divine devotion to Slaanesh? He warns of the so-called perils, pointing to poor, pathetic pariahs as examples? How laughable!Behold, the true testament of Slaanesh's touch! I, Sigvald, stand as the splendid, supreme scion, the ultimate expression of our lord's favor.

The game is hugely about the decisions (placement, trades, etc) you make on the table.

>>93254877If you're playing age of hannibal, you can expect between 36 and 72 models. Those are both ends of the spectrum, 36 would be a super elite army and 72 would be 6 units of levys
>>93254899From what I gathered, literally a single box of Victrix Republicans Romans would get me a playable army for Age of Hannibal. But I'm probably going to move up from there to something else.
>>93254921Yeah, for Rome, your only restriction is you can only use a single unit of mounted warriors iirc. When I started I got a box of greek hoplites and then found out you can only field a unit of 8, so I got tons of hoplites laying around
>>93254956Far as I can tell most factions don't seem to have too many limitations. I guess it makes sense giving Romans a small amount of warriors considering they aren't exactly known as a cav army.
>>93255109Yeah and you can always recruit some mercenaries if you want to field cavalry
