>>97356211I need to get a picture of the warp cannon tonight>>97356168, but what's a close enough color in other paints for warpstone glow I don't like buying GW paints anymore, I think I tried to use warp lightning contrast and emerald forest, but it didn't look too good
>>97356252oh sick nice you're the guy with the green stormfiends, i had a hunch you were the same anonclosest equivalent for non-citadel green paint for warpstone glow would probably be greenskin by army painter, similarly you can go with wild green by army painter for moot green
>>97356297I've been distracted working on my seraphon spearhead since I wanted to try and finish everything this weekend to start getting my friends into tabletop But I'm gonna try and finish the last bit of my skaven today, il probably be picking up more shit on Friday since I'm gonna be off coming up some one piece anyways
>>97351434>once per (army)This shit is absolutely everywhere and its idiotic. It really demonstrates a lack of consideration for verisimilitude, or for thought about how people actually build armies.
>>97355754Verminlords tend to be taken more often and are more meta, but thanquol is a cooler model and more fun on the table
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97353511>>Barnyard cat and retired wizard's familiar is sole witness to a murder, but cannot legally testify, due to still being a cat.being a cat is no excuse to not answer a court summons, especially since it is known that the cat knows how to speak and thus presumably listen to a reading of the court summons.
>>97351382That looks even worse though
>>97351510Yeah theres no good faith argument here.
>>97349794I mean yes this movie was famously repulsive. Most depictions of animal people are less disgusting than this.
We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition. You are going to see horrific debasements to the thing you know and love that you will still see with your eyes closed. Every 80 IQ person with internet access will have an opinion on Warhammer without knowing what a Tau Remora Drone is.
>>97353360And he also plays RPGs, unlike Cavil which, as >>97349600 said, is still missing showing off his army.Reading novels is all fine and all, but it's not playing the fucking game
>>97345348Crazy how a lot of the camera angles used mutated into b movie horror tropes. The close up is right out of evil dead. >>97345214Man, astartes was great and I loved sodaz's krieg video, but I got the feeling this was happening a while ago. The fact that every horus heresy side character that was 'badass' and would talk shit to primarchs was some sort of girlboss. The lt. Myra character in space marine 1, though I had no problem with her specifically, was a warning. Now every remaining imperial in any sort of authority that isn't a space marine legacy character is a woman, or black, or both. In a lot of media, the guard, hilariously, is taking the hits for what they obviously want to do to space marines. Out of the media that GW has put out, I can't think of a single heroic human white male that isn't subservient to a woman that is not a space marine. And their glands are malfunctioning or something because they're becoming increasingly minority. That said, it was pretty funny that they were weirdly lore accurate with the salamander in that necron show only being pigmented black. I'll probably find some way to watch the next astartes, but I gave up on everything GW after years and gave my poorly painted steel legion minis from the mid aughts to a neighbor kid to play with. It's just a soap opera with 2019 messaging written in at this point. Looking for something else to play and trench crusade made up for all its promise by sucking even harder than james workshop.
>>97348431Only retardsthink it will be a marine show or a titus show.>multiple races on one planetEarth to Retard, I repeat, Earth to Retard. There is a gas leak in your house.
>>97350583>fallout is a great setting but amazon studios seems to keep hiring writers who do not understand why fans enjoy the games and cannot write within the confines of established lore to save their livesThe writers they hire understand Fallout perfectly, it's just that all of their understanding comes from Bethesda Fallout. I guarantee you the next Fallout video game is going to be a stupid nonsensical theme park just like the TV show, Fallout 4, and Fallout 3.

Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games.

[spoilers] So this thread is pretty much done for, what do you guys want to do next? [/spoilers]
>>97353314I'm going to figure out spoilers. The concept might deserve a bit of a break. Overall it was a bit of fun during the holidays

>>97353367 It was fun while it lasted. Guess we simply ran out of steam.
>>97355263Vampires also start as people just like you and me, and I doubt they're the only ones. You're avoiding the question. Is there some inherent property of the supernatural that makes people evil?
After playing both the original Shandalar and the 2016 update version I've come to the conclusion that magic was just more fun in 1995 when it was more loose and relaxed. The kinds of decks you go up against in the 2016 version are so much more ruthless about shutting down every play you make that the only way to compete is to be an even more obnoxious dickhead and make sure they never get a chance to do anything. Every victory was bitter and spiteful in a way that I never felt with the older simpler Magic cards.

>>97354218Reminds me that I should play it again
>>97354218>that magic was just more fun in 1995 when it was more loose and relaxednah, was always ass, you could make in old Shandalar deck with insta win first turn, Black Lotus plus Hurricane IIRC or somethingcausal play is still best, we had blast for 1.5y just playing 20+ semi thematic decks I kitbashed from my mediocre collection of sporadic buys gathering dust; Archenemy and other multiplayer modes of play were a blast; then everyone started buying new boosters, decks or even dedicated win custom decks and it went into shitter
>>97354218Every cardgame was more fun when you could only build your deck with the cards you had. The biggest boner I ever had playing cardgames was trying to figure out ways to combo my shitty cards midgame. Of course it's fun to have any card at your disposition online, but to me that's only fun for deckbuilding, it completely ruins the actual game because a very limited meta will always develop, while in real life the introduction of a single card could completely change the value of others.>TLDR: always play Cube Draft, no matter the cardgame
Time to talk about weird monsters again.As usual, any rants about Bog will be treated as bait unless you have actual proof.
>>97353251there's really not a lot of great options i think. most of the ones that are roughly human woman shaped have some kind of reason why you wouldn't want to be in touching distance with them.depending on how adventurous you are, well, i'm sure it depends greatly on personal tastes.

>>97355091Black Crusade's hard to get a group together for, because most people who actively seek out Black Crusade games approach it in much the same manner as avid FATAL players. It's not impossible, mind you, hell, I have a buddy who just wants a satisfying narrative conclusion for his Warpsmith, but a lot of folks are just skeevy little shitters from the depths of every horror gametale you've ever read.
>>97355388Tragic, but do you have any examples? I want to know if we have the same standards when it comes to these things.
>>97349937It would be better if the players never actually learn or have it confirmed that the governor is an Ork, but rather continuously seed small bits and bobs to imply it whilst the players track a different recidivist threat on the world.
>>97352660Different anon, you're just an annoying nigger who also can't post sources.
Do you prefer Pokémon, Yugioh, or Magic the Gathering?
>>97349059I actually don't hate planeswalkers from a mechanical standpoint, even if I think it's pretty unnecessary. They have done, and would do fine, as legendary creature cards.My beef is that the shift in portraying a wide cast of new planeswalkers as main characters was part of some very bad story decisions. We kind of saw two major sides of Magic before the Mending:>Planeswalkers as part of the conflict with Phyrexia, surrounding the life of Urza>The exploration of worlds where Planeswalkers are either wholly absent, or are more important for the background of the worlds that things are happening in, rather than the main focus charactersWhat we moved on to is:>"No, guys, we're totally not trying to capitalize on superhero team tropes right now. Who cares about the integrity of lore for the worlds we're visiting? It's all about the characters we can't write well! They're planeswalkers like you, so we want to lean into them, but we're losing faith in story's ability to be sold, so we're going to drop the ball right after we make this huge change in how we market the game!"

>>97355750The problem, of course, is that any artificially seeded population like that will naturally have less biodiveristy, and the more you 'tailor' it to meet your preferences the more that becomes true. You might prevent them all from being clones or tightly related, but you'll never have gene expressions that fell outside of your original sample group.And tailoring on top of that introduces new problems. There is no 'make smarter' gene. There is no 'make pretty' gene. The more you try to force those outcomes at the genetic level rather than the developmental level, the more likely you are to create a civilization of brain damaged people who are excellent at certain tasks because you forced them to be, but absolutely dogshit at other things. Like people who are excellent at math and music and pattern recognition but who don't lack inference ability and struggle to handle problems that are not clearly pre-formatted for them them to ingest. The most amazing test takers in the world who can't handle a vague situation with unclear conditions.

>>97348020>A DM has the right (some might even call it an obligation) to take a chainsaw to content that doesn't fit their setting or campaign. Polymorph spells are a gamebreaker? Declare that the 'rules of magic' in the setting just don't work that way. Mind-control magic can't be used to bypass entire plots if it doesn't exist (except in hostile hands as a plot device).Problem is you need to do it to a good chunk of spell list. And considering how many spells WoTC churned out it's a fucking pain in the ass.

>>97353812It's not a 3.5 lite imo. It's more like B/X with feats and a Traveller 2d6 skills with a sensibly compressed list of then. To me, it scratches the 5e itch of "more customization than OSR, but similarly fast to onboard players and prep" better than 5e, and especially 5.5e.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency. If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97355925>Judges Guild productHas anybody run, or at least read cover to cover, Jacquays's other big adventure? Is it called Dark Tower? How is it with respect to Thracia?
I noticed the last thread was a troll thread so re-posting here. I wanted to say thanks to anyone who helped me with some questions about mutant future and labyrinth lord in a previous thread. I now had a question about some supplements. I heard that apes victorious added some neat stuff for mutant future by some people, but I also heard that it actually is a bit harder to convert to mutant future and does not add much. Does anyone know if that is the case? Some of the powers sound neat, and my players want to use more offensive mental abilities. Are the psi powers vs mental mutations just different names?How is the advanced mutant companion? I know it is made by someone other than goblinoid games, so I was wondering if it added a lot of neat options without changing the core game. It looks like it adds feats and skills which seems to go against the grain. Another book that looked better in my opinion was creatures of the tropical wastes.
>>97356212>Is it called Dark Tower?Yes.>How is it with respect to Thracia?It's considered extremely good. BE aware, though, it's a much higher-level module than Thracia; you can't just segue into the one from the other.

Necromancy Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>TQHistorical recollections from many battles in history, Band of Brothers, Generation Kill, that one documentary on the Arab Spring.
Apparently there's a vidya game called Hunger (not to be mistaken with The Hunger, Fear and Hunger, or Hunger Games franchise). The premise is napoleonic era zombie apocalypse, remnants of mankind keeping the hordes at bay with faith and experimental weaponry. Which is admittedly a bit of a stretch from WW1 of the faithful against assorted spawns of devil's asshole, but I feel like there is a bit of a similar vibes there anyway.
>TQ but reversedI finished reading Between Two Fires over a year ago and first heard about TC while looking online for discussion about the book and similar media. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re on the hunt for a book in the same genre/vibe as TC
