I always get to play what i want to play, the trick is thinking about the character concept AFTER reading the setting primer and the allowed chargen options (and after rolling stats if the DM wants randomized attributes instead of point buy).

A fundamentally monstrous creature (eldritch horror, biblical angel, sapient ooze, etc., something that clearly isn't humanoid or common-animal shaped) that disguises itself as a human but has a really poor understanding of how humanoids think and behave. The narrative draw would be (poorly) learning about humanity, while the combat draw would be playing a giant monster.
For all the goofy backstories and character identities modern DMs and GMs allow, it's rather disappointing how few of them allow nonhumanoid characters, and those that do tend not to care much about the rules of the game in the first place. Most of them won't even allow such a creature trapped in a human body (basically, just a mechanically normal character with a weird backstory), though playing a downgrade would be a copout to begin with. I can't really blame them though, as I myself wouldn't let someone play that sort of character in my usual campaigns (I did host a "players play the monsters in a dungeon and fight off adventurers" game once though, which was great). Perhaps one day, I too will get to play in a "monster party" game

If we're talking about characters the typical D&D campaign is designed to handle though, then playing a stereotypical rogue would be nice sometime. Nothing particularly special there, just a guy that's really good at being sneaky. Most games I play in tend not to care about stealth or subtlety in general, so I've somehow never played one in the past decade. Hopefully, an opportunity to change that will arise sometime.

>>97237770
I want a quick way to determine whether NPCs find my character attractive, but I don't want it to be some complicated, fiddly mechanic. I've looked up how it's handled in three different lewd mechanic books for the D20 system, and it's always like, "Roll your character's Sexual Prowess modifier, which is Charisma+Constitution divided by 2, then add any feats, and, etc, etc, etc..."

The Scarlet Heroes + Randy Encounters thing does a good job, but it still requires you to generate kinks and traits for every character.

Just make a separate "hotness" stat and have the modifier add a bonus to charisma skills on top of charisma. If that sounds really powerful, then it's being true to real life.

Old Master art is pretty amazing.

I've decided in the new year I'm going to finally start putting my armor kit survivors together, and I'm going to put half of them in "stereotypical" loadouts and save the other half to immortalize important survivors at the end of campaigns. With that in mind, how does this sound for the stereotypical ones:

>Unarmored: Bone Sword, Bone Axe, Bone Sickle + Pickaxe + Bone Darts, Catgut Bow
>White Lion: Paired White Lion Katars, Paired White Lion Daggers
>Gorment: Gaxe + Knuckle Shield + Gorn, Rib Blade
>Silk: Amber Poleaxe, Paired Hooded Scrap Katars
>Screaming: Counterweighted Axe, Lance of Longinus
>Phoenix: Rainbow Katana, Paired Sonic Tomahawks
>Rolling: Digging Claw + Beacon Shield, Juggernaut Blade
>Dragon: Nuclear Scythe, Nuclear Dagger
>Cycloid: Ink Blade, Skleaver
>Rawhide: Cat Gut Bow, Rawhide Whip
>Leather: Zanbato, Skullcap Hammer + Leather Shield
>Lantern: Dragon Slayer, Bone Club + Beacon Shield

Lapis armor is cool. Gold and orange accents, and the red cloth are nice too. I would just suggest desaturating the orange a bit so the whole thing isn't so harsh to look at. For bases, I suggest something like scrubland. Half blasted wastes with only hardier vegetation eeking out an existence in spite of relentless strip mining. Distinct from a desert.

GW's models cost more money per model than a full price video game, they are not phasing out plastic for pixels.

>>97238152
That's because they know the increasingly shrinking base of tabletop gamers are inveterate paypigs in a niche hobby who, like drug addicts and abused spouses, will accept any price increase for official approved tournament compliant minis (if they want to participate in anything more than casual games or underground unofficial events with bootleg 3D printed figures).

The vast majority of 40k fans are normies whose only exposure has been through Total War/Space Marine, subsidiary media or loretubers

Soon, even "social" RPGs like Cyberpunk and D&D will go the same way

>>97229035
Letting people build their own characters inevitably leads to metagaming. The correct answer is to ask your players what they want to play, and then building the specifics of the characters yourself so that all characters are equally minmaxed, and then I lay allowing character advancement based on what the characters have been practicing in the game. The guy who only talks and never swings a sword doesn't get better at swordplay as he gets more experienced. The less control players have over the mechanics of their characters the objectively better the game will be

Because The Order isn't an enemy unless Nale makes them an enemy. His goal doesn't involve The Order. 1316 goes over the general change in his mindset.

Nale's goal is to break the last gate. The Order is the group that's going to be within spitting distance of it, and working with them openly is the best cover possible. Fighting them just wastes time and resources, and hiding from them would likely fail. Nale also has no intel on the gate's location beyond it being somewhere in the wall of doors. The Order is his best shot at information. On top of that, unlike with Xykon there's no impetus for The Order to specifically protect the gate from Nale, so even if he has to retreat they're not going to act any differently.

File: trdespng.png (217 KB, 300x486)

217 KB PNG

>>97237435
Cause whether he realizes it or not, Nale's still living by the same tired old tropes of the evil twin/rival dichotomy, just that this time it's the old "rivals team up temporarily against a far greater threat". And it makes sense to a degree, Xykon alone is basically way too much for Nale's team by themselves nevermind Redcloak and Oona, and considering he has no personal beef with Elan anymore due to how he can't blame his twin for his current deal it makes sense to work with someone who grasps that Xykon is the bigger threat in the here and now to their respective goals.

>>97237486
>working with them openly is the best cover possible. Fighting them just wastes time and resources, and hiding from them would likely fail.
except they call his bullshit immediately
successfully lying to them is even more likely to fail than hiding
it is possible he will still manage to convince them, but it will be against some really long odds

the obvious choice is to wait for Roy and Xykon to fight and then act amidst the chaos
maybe Nale feels it will take too long for them to clash, and his tacky makeover is time-limited

>>97237435
>>97237486
So it's a durkon situation. Will durkon intervene on Nale's behalf on the next page?

>>97237435
>>97237850
I don't think this is as bad a position for Nale as you're making it out to be. He knows he can't take Xykon on his own, but he also knows that the Order's odds on their own are poor as well (not to mention that they can't afford to waste resources on fighting him, and that's without even knowing about the dragon they just wasted resources killing). The Order also has no reason to assume that his goals deviate from their own, even if he himself is obviously untrustworthy. If Nale frames it right he might be able to get them to agree to something seemingly harmless that ultimately benefits him.
This could also just escalate into Haley and Roy attacking before Nale can present his case and Nale retreating to rethink his strategy (assuming he isn't intentionally putting the Order on edge as part of some greater plan, who knows) I guess.

Apex detachments come with several valuable squads (3 retinue, 3 elites) AND one prime slot... so no, that's a terrible idea. Apex things are intentionally set to so overpowered that only 1 per army is fair. And allies would provide infinite apex detachments full of prime slots... from non-high-command slots. Army building is already significantly dumbed down with even less restrictive list-building than 40k when you incude allies, giving free 3-5 apex extra to allied armies that would make it into age of smegmar 1st edition with no army-building whatsoever.

My LGS has some people like that. I don't know how many people my locale shop has that looking for casual narrative games. It seems to be in an area where they arrange everything in discord before going to the LGS. The Pisscord "server" for my area is a Reddit hugbox shithole. Despite that, everyone ignored me when I asked if anyone wanted to walk me through how to play Killteam. I haven't asked if anyone wanted to play something non-GW, but I feel like my area is almost exclusively GW and WotC.
Also, I hate "social" media and have been on 4chan for so long that I don't know how to use these normie sites/apps.

Plenty of FLGS around but one of my favorites was the one on the 2nd floor of a 2 level strip mall, right above a takeout Chinese place, neither of which faced the street. It was a kinda run down place with concrete floors, boxes of unsorted MTG bulk, some random 3D printed minis for sale, and random old gaming books. Loved that place. Chopsticks19 killed it. The other games stores all went downhill, as well as Magic itself. I miss gaming in 2016 to 2019. Playing DnD in the store was fun, sorting through old Magic cards was fun. I still went to the FLGS all the time til got laid off. Now as a NEET I barely ever go

there's zero pictures online of my FLGS from the 2000s, which is surprising.

it was a warehouse in a village in northern England with a little shopfront. shared a big warehouse space with a shopfitting company, so the wargame crowd had access to wood-cutting equipment and other tools. middle-aged men basically lived in there like it was a pub, just making models all day.

for events, they'd lay out long rows of tables and then the younger crowd would come in for e.g. Magic: The Gathering tournaments. the place was still a mess with random scrap and tools lying everywhere (plus the owners' dogs roaming around) but it was amazing.

nowadays, the UK has moved more towards little 'gaming cafés' that are totally pristine and you all get cramped onto a small table to play D&D, usually paying by the hour. i hate it so much, bros.

Don't have experience with combined arms but it's got me thinking about non-mech units in combat. I personally think that mechs should be the focus of the system, but a section for non-mech units might be a good addition, even if it's just to show how much stronger mechs are in comparison.

FRAMES AND CORES

Cores specifically are the main part of your mech. In universe, the core is both the ‘skeleton’ and operating system. The core determines HP, damage avoidance, weight limit, energy limit. The frame is a lot less important statistically, but it is what covers your mech so by name it’s important

Mechs are named after their core+frame and each of the three planets have their own naming conventions

Earth cores are named after liquors and frames are named after times

>Friday whiskey

Venus cores are named after iPod designations and frames are deific beings
