>>97174728It fills the hex directly behind the firing unit *and* two levels above that hex. And actually, the way its written also says it fills the hex directly opposite the firing direction, which doesn't really make sense but does mean a torso twisted shot fills two hexes and the elevations above those hexes. You can get a lot of utility out of that.
>>97174841Doesn't make sense that it does both, that is. It actually makes more sense to always fill the opposite of the firing direction, but as written is does back of unit and opposite firing direction if those happen to be two different places.
>>97174728>>97174841>>97174850Kinda crazy that it makes a smoke cloud 30 meters from where it was fired.
>>97174910Half the gun's weight is the rear mounted industrial fog machine.
>>97174910Every round is hand packed with genuine Liao smog by war orphans. Your donation of just three Yuan per week can supply ten of these orphans with the almost functional respirators they need to not immediately choke to death on the factory floor, and for just seven Yuan, you can pay for their funerals after they die of lung cancer.
Is there a super system that is purpose built to integrate RPG scale, Skirmish, scale and wargame scale scenarios into one campaign?I think that would be pretty epic. You might first go on an rpg party scale infiltration mission to get some kind of advantage for the next session that is a wargame, where if you succeeded, maybe you can hide a unit anywhere on the tabletop.I think I heard people saying that it was kind of attempted in some Old DnD releases and ACKS, but it never seems to really be all that focused on or displayed in action much.Would totally be a niche gameplay style that would require a group both up for rpg's and wargames, but I think it could be pretty epic.
>>97173092OD&D is a chainmail supplement for a reason.
>>97173092Mechwarrior with battletech integration, sorta kinda since it's skirmish tier either way
>>97174167There's good odds they were deliberately made as a joke.
>>97174167>>97174351samefag
>>97173092>super system designed to integrate RPG, skirmish and wargame Sort of. You already have some of it with the images you posted in your OP. There area few gaps like how rpg scale and skirmish scale are close enough to the same thing its not really distinguishable in meaningful ways I've found but that might be with the current wargaming descriptions of skirmmishes being a dozen or so models tops per side and smaller. You'd have to fuck up an rpg pretty badly if it couldn't handle that size conflict. Integrating larger scale battles with rpgs gets tricky after a certain size as well, essentially after a certain size individual character actions can't really matter too much. 28mm middlehammer aka herohammer might be your best bet really if you want something prefab you can just pick up. Never tried to mix the rpg in myself though. iirc there were a few white dwarf articles about converting their Hero Quest characters and campaigns to the 28mm battlefield as well. Otherwise, and even then, you're likely in a siutatuion where you're kludging together a few different systems and making it work through narrative campaign framework and communication. A lot of the older GW stuff has decent outlines of how narrative campaigns work. There's newer prints Tony Bath's Ancient Wargame campaigns and the like that are interesting reads as well.

>>97174845You try and convince people when you believe you can convince them. She clearly believes that they wont just tell her to fuck off, that she has a good enough argument to have them change their mind.
>>97174845She would keep trying to prove to them humans don't need them? She would keep offsetting their schemes in the world woth her machines? She would try to seal them in the toybkx or somethjng similar? She would challenge them in a bet? We don't know, what we know is that while she's their opponent she respect them and doesn't want to strike them, it's just you obsessed with the idea that she would automatically try to kill them, despite that just ruinibg everything for everyone, and she actively fought their other enemies for them.

Post franchises you think should be or should have gotten tabletop RPGs or war games.Considering how wild the 90's was, I'm legitimately surprised this of all things didn't get one, frankly.

As someone who uses both 3d printed stuff and hand crafted foam terrain I fully agree that 3d printed stuff is inferior. It will never look as good as a well crafted and painted piece.Also crafting terrain is just a joy and anyone who hates it has no soul.

>>97174589>hated by /hwg/As much as he's being a faggot right now, I'm one of the few regular posters left there and I'd appreciate if you left me out of your gay anti-fan club.>>97174745TBF that's some pretty exceptional printable terrain, the painterly style possibly helps but it does look like the sculptor has put effort into not simply copypasting tiles and stones, which is unfortunately rare.
I think there are some pretty good terrain prints out there that I wouldn't mind to be on my printer while I do something else like painting already finished pieces or an army.Also greebles and stuff can be cool printed.

>>97171038Meanwhile, back at the camp, Lord Howler's right-hand man assumed command. Their Lycan leader, still consumed by bloodlust, had vanished into the forest. The first order was to tend to the wounded and care for their dead. Next, he instructed the strongest men to prepare the bear carcasses for burning. He was unsure of the strange growths on the meat and hides, but certain they were tainted and unusable, despite the potential profit from such excellent bear pelts.Lord Howler, meanwhile, was almost completely lost in his primal rage. He wouldn't regain control of his bestial form until he found more prey to tear apart. At least he had gone far enough to avoid massacring his own underlings in his blood frenzy.Chances are that he might encounter Lancel and his men-at-arms before they reach the camp, but the fight might not conclude there. Actually, I had some different idea for their initial confrontation, but since the story went that way, there's no point of changing it

If you ask me, our trip to Elysium went exceedingly well. I set up a little workshop and I had the Harpies take turns to get their measurements and a few sketches done. Everyone complimented the girls' beauty and fashion sense. Doubtless, the highlight of the night was the Primogen himself playing the piano, then joined by Assoluta's singing accompanied by her latest friend playing the viola d'amore, and the three held an improvised, seamless jazz session out of nowhere. Blue Fairy then grabbed Princess Charming and showed the crowd dance moves I had never seen before, courtesy of her many travels through Asia and her mastery over her body.The blonde said: "I've mainly studied ballroom dancing and I tried to follow Blue Fairy's lead. I had no fear I could step on her feet, or lose my own balance, she reacts too quickly. I felt like I was fighting for my life, especially when she completely lifted me like they do in figure skating, but somehow I've never felt safer in her arms."The neonates were dying of envy, absolutely seething at Blue Fairy and we were enjoying every second of it.In the debriefing we shared our results:- The Devil Wears Me: 6 commissions.- Assoluta: live performance at Elysium on Saturday and Sunday, 2 concerts, 4 dates, 5 invitations, 1 master class, 2 professional dominatrix sessions.- Princess Charming: 2 library memberships, 6 dates, 4 invitations, 8 transactions.- Blue Fairy: expert commentary at a fighting tournament hosted by the Brujah Primogen, 9 dates, 13 invitations, 3 master classes, 5 professional dominatrix sessions.Now for the bad stuff. The debriefing degenerated in a fight, I'll try to be brief and diplomatic about it.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97171535This may sound like a calm conversation but it was anything but. Assoluta was furious and believed Blue Fairy being "such an easy whore" costed our family face, the latter was deeply hurt by our prima donna's words and became self-conscious about her naïveté,Venus in Furs watched everything intently, but when I begged her to intervene she said: "It's my favourite sitcom, House Venus!"Sigh. I asked Boy Toy to mediate.With extreme difficulty, he managed to get them to agree that the first lesson in Elysium should be: "How to get people to say yes to you", and the second lesson will be for Blue Fairy to learn: "How to say no to people", and that anything the little sister learns from being so busy can and will be used by the entire family.Venus in Furs then ordered both sisters to go to Blue Fairy's room to "sort their differences", and assigned Boy Toy to guard the door.
>>971715821. There is no sound proofing and I hear everything Assoluta and Blue Fairy are doing in her room.2. I have to watch the door and I'm not allowed to see what's going on behind it. I was already so horny I could die.3. It got worse.4. I called a girl from the herd and told her she could do anything she wanted to me, I was thinking feeding could assist me in my fight against this misery.5. She got intercepted by Princess Charming, they were cuddlefucking in the hallway in front of me.6. "How could it possibly get worse?" I asked myself.7. It got worse.8. It's a threesome. "Red" is sinking in Mother's black fox fur coat.9. Mother fingers Red's mouth from behind and Princess Charming is playing with her from the front. All three were glaring at me.10. Red is doing what she wants to me, and this is what she wants, I'm a fucking idiot.11. I'm still hearing everything going on behind me in Blue Fairy's room. Typing this message out was my last ditch effort at controlling my urges, I'm bent over, my legs are shaking, if this keeps up I'm going to explode in a fountain of cumblood.13. The trio can see how distressed I am, they're moving closer to me, and they're laughing.14. It got wor
>>97171666That was hysterical, had to post it. Yeah, it ain't Boy Toy writing this one. You guessed it: this one's from yours truly.Anyway mom and lil sis seized him, all five of us dragged him inside, tied him up and gave him a hell of a bullwhipping for being such a naughty, pathetic, ineffective guardian. I thought I knew my shit but mom retrained me for free. Awesome.Then the motherfucker said he'd like a sip. So insolent. Lil sis gave me a blood bag out of her fridge and I put it on top of his head, I gave him the finger and forced him to watch big sis drink from my external jugular and lil sis from the cephalic vein on other side. What's the word again? I transfixed him or whatever.Now I'm giving this phone back to lil sis, don't worry big bro, I didn't look into your private things, I know what I'm doing and so does she, she oversaw everything. See, I'm wicked, I'm evil, but I ain't dumb. When you read this, tell everyone you're officially this mortal lady's little bitch.As for you good folks in the thread, it's just a matter of time, the prey is working overtime to become the predator, and the disaventures of Boy Toy have only just begun.

How to make a setting feel like it's not a not!x setting?I recently got some of my friends into GURPS. They wanna play a fantasy setting for their first experience. I want to make sure the setting feels like it's own and doesn't feel like the characters are exploring not!europe or not!england. I've been told this was a bit of a problem in my previous pathfinder campaignHow do I make the setting feel like it's own thing without the players feeling like they are just going through the real world?
>>97167813Make it a not!x where x is a bit of media they are already familiar with, instead of a country.The simple fact that a lot of people obsessed with "originality" miss is that your players NEED a touchstone to inform their impressions of your setting. A game with no common touchstone is a game that is essentially unplayable, reducing the players to props that you invite to the table so that you can vomit LORE at them every time they try to do something that you say can't happen because of a fiction in-universe event 400 years ago that they didn't know about yet. England-but-[thing] is just as valid as The-Witcher-but-[thing], or Star-Wars-but-[thing]. You are not writing a book or directing a movie. You do not have a wealth of time to describe things or the tools of a visual medium to establish a lot of things non-intrusively. If your players are to be able to act in your world without you holding their hand, they need to have a vision in their head of that world that more or less matches yours, and that CAN'T HAPPEN if your world is too "unique" in its worldbuilding because that leaves them at a loss as to what to compare it to as a conceptual framework. Give them something that they can easily digest first, and then build your more unique elements on top of that. The players will always appreciate the convenience of understanding whats going on and what to expect over having a setting that is designed by someone TERRIFIED of being linked to a Tvtropes article.

The first one went... well enough, so let's try this again. Talk about weird monsters and don't feed the trolls.(Any accusations about Bog will be considered trolling unless the poster has actual proof.)
>>97164162I feel like none of them are all that obscene and it didn't totally occur to me that they stood out. If other people think some older monsters are a lot edgier or more vulgar, I guess I'd save those for the hypothetical extra-edgy book.>>97161402I figure Orlok biology is pretty loose, not completely restricted to their eusocial system. Within their nest, they do probably get raised individually by foster parents, the queen is just the original source for most of them and able to make Orlok of all different castes. The little reproductive males get completely absorbed by the queen and I have some old unused art (no room for it in the final book, and its quality needed updating anyway) of a queen covered in the remnants of absorbed mates, like a deep sea anglerfish.Other NPC's respawn as needed narratively.

>>97173975my rules works like this:you have 'land' cards and common cards (hero/minions/creatures, spells, relics/equip cards, etc..)like in duel masters, you can use all your cards as a mana pool. the idea I was developping is you have land cards. when you play them, it stay on field. and you have the common cards that can be played as mana in your mana pool but after using/tapping/consum them, it goes to the gy.sorry I didn't understand your post, I'm a brainlet
