>>97273369Nobody is forcing you to cast Smite as a Paladin. And likewise, it's not hard to homebrew 'Eldritch Knight but with the Cleric spell list'
>>97273570no, but you do lose access to your second (and third) extra attacks which are infinite and dont consume spell slots, which are for buffies and for healies. as for the homebrew, i dont think it is either, but that requires getting my DM on board with it. (good luck, me)

>>97273290>What happened to your last WoD game? A ST so focused on making the players happy that he neglects what HE wants. So we had a mixed-splat CoD campaign which ran for somewhere between 90 and 100 sessions; but because everyone was a different thing, people were hesitant to dive too deep into "their world" as they felt it was taking away from group time. So we discussed and finally decided to keep the same setting but do new characters who were all the same splat, and we settled on CtL. The ST went all-out and created almost 100 NPCs with histories, personalities, and relationships. And then the chronicle starts, and everyone was having so much fun hanging around the freehold that they didn't want to go out and do what the chronicle was about. My ST, bless his heart, tried to roll with it; but he wanted to mystery stories about things that go bump in the night, not run an entire campaign based on gossip and petty politicking. And so it kinda fizzled out after about four sessions. >Anyway got a break down on the potential characters yet?I settled on Kitsune and we've got a pretty firm commitment to a Mokole and a Corax. I don't think the others have 100% settled; but last I heard it was a Bastet, a Ratfolk, and an Ananasi.
>>97273524>Mokole and Ratfolk PCsHuman civilization may never return to whatever godforsaken town you crawl into.
>>97273599>Human civilization may never return to whatever godforsaken town you crawl into.My impression is that it was pretty thoroughly screwed long before we're gonna show up.
>>97272107>What's the story on that so far?Year is 1891, London. The Lost of London are balkanized into a bunch of independent freeholds, drawn largely on class lines. The Courts are barely holding everything together. We're a trio of relatively recent escapees (a few years ago on average), so far, we've been investigating missing Lost. Turns out a Loyalist has been waging an almost guerilla war. Some of the missing Lost were killed, others kidnapped, some not even by the Loyalists directly. He manipulated some Hobs into capturing sane Changelings and throwing them in the Hedge Asylum for very low clarity Changelings the Autumn Court have set up. He just wanted to take as many of us out of the game as possible, almost certainly just to soften us up. We learned that last part after we interrogated him after beating his ass. We also learned his keeper is "The Oracle Queen", and all her Changelings are styled after Tarot. We're hoping to have the loyalist publicly executed to unite the disparate freeholds.
>>97273655Damn pretty cool.>>97273652I suppose Fera and Fera players would think that.
Christmas edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
How many level 3+ monsters do y'all actually hunt? I'm realizing this is the first time I've ever actually hunted a level 3 screaming antelope, and I can't thinking of any others I actually hunted other than sunstalker, dragon king, and DBK.
>>97272594I usually exclusively start hunting lv.3s at around LY 15+Until then I baby mode and hunt lvl 1s. I usually find hunting Lv 2s to not be worth the risk/reward
>>97272155Not an answer people here might like but try the facebook group or the unofficial discord.
>>97269313Our group loves to mix and match their own survivors to paint with the entirity of core, gce, and almost all the expansion survivor bits. We always start with the founding survivor minis and then move to our 'actual' survivors once we gear up a bit (currently all using 10 uear survivors, but i got the 15 year box im waiting to give out as Xmas gifts our next game). Though if I do black knight, I should probably do the squiers. Speaking of: is the 5 year campaign as difficult as they say? I kind of want to do all the knights for lore purposes but ny group is still pretty new to the game (only a couple core campaigns with expansions sprinkled in).
>>97272992How do you know you're ready? I usually replace hunting level 1s with twos once I have dash and surge, and have at least one survivor with 5 armor all around and a shield, but I don't know the right metric for the level 3s other than "ran out of stuff to make"

I’m working on a horror scenario, care to help out with suggestions?The Premise: the player characters are all "test subjects" (probably former military, ex-cops, criminals, lone drifters and such) that were kidnapped or otherwise imprisoned by a sinister conspiracy of unknown nature or goals. They participate in "experiments" to "stress test" the conspiracy's "projects." Present day real world setting, on the surface.Any ideas for monsters, unnatural tech, twists, set pieces, testing grounds and scares?

Definitely something to look into more.
>>97270329The experiments are to test the limits of how much the "reality" of the world can be fucked with before people notice too hard.It starts as a slow creep before the overt stuff happens and everything is thematic to the situation.butt fuck nowhere USA with perfect white bread american ideal townsfolk? They are all secretly monsters pretending and the uncanny valley ramps up until they mask off.Random inner city USA? The faceless masses of people will randomly become monsters that hunt you down but non one else notices what's going on or your own presence even as they are attacked in the process.Typical desert village except you have to hide from some super giant monster that randomly spits out smaller monsters.Basically, boxed in experiences where the situation decays and forces the PCs to survive as long as possible fore they move on to the next box.

Very goated /osrg/ thread, bx newfag here coming back after a long break of 3 months and just having played session 20 with my group. But that's a story to share for another time. I came with another question and as Gygax willed it, the tq is quite related: How do you guys track all the player run businesses and NPCs they enconter over the course of the campaign in a convenient and efficient way?Special retard question: would you allow your players to have them or their retainers use their round to "forcefeed" another player a health potion? And in a more serious way: how do you let players control/influence the actions of their retainers?
>>97273084Welcome back!>How do you guys track all the player run businesses and NPCs they enconter over the course of the campaign in a convenient and efficient way?Pen and paper? Not sure what you mean here.>Special retard question: would you allow your players to have them or their retainers use their round to "forcefeed" another player a health potion?If the feedee is unconscious, yes. If he is up and fighting, lol no.>And in a more serious way: how do you let players control/influence the actions of their retainers?With loyalty checks. I've recently discovered the tables for obeying orders from WRG and they're based, I might start using them some day. Basically roll high = charge in, roll low = run away, and roll average = obey orders. Picrel.
>>97273084Use ACKS for market checking/turn over.Also, you control henchmen, they are NPCs
>>97273161Thanks, very cool table indeed! >Pen and paper? Not sure what you mean here.Yeah you're completely right. In my 5e campaigns before (which I kept quite sandboxy) I've used RPG notes for android to track events, NPCs etc. Now running my first bx campaign I just do my daily tracking and strict timekeeping but simply losing the overview of all the NPCs involved and having to flip through all my notes when they pursue some of the NPCs for example. The business part is done separately and updated with the players during downtime. I just wondered what handy ways you guys use but I guess I should keep it simple and have some written NPC records at hand.>>97273527Yeah you're absolutely correct, as well.I was probably too soft after our long break. It was quite ironic though, my ironman player who's been there every session and leads with a level 6 character still is shit scared after their last dungeon fiasco in the ancient red dragon lair found himself and the small group of few players and retainers but no mercs ambushed by a red dragon in the wilderness. The tank was heroically facing the monster while the ironman send his retainer to chug the dwarf down some health potions. I felt it wasn't right but I also didn't want to bumfuck them that hard after our long break...

>>97270898In ideal circumstances, your sniper is ignoring armour about 1/3rd of the time. This is wildly unreliable. Remember, New Antioch is a CQC faction, so the bulk of your faction's damage is going to be done in a 1-2 round period - if you need AP, then a 1 in 3 chance of ignoring armour is just not available enough.Instead, you should give the sniper priest an auto rifle or SMG so they can stack blood reliably and kill soft targets quickly. Or you do the based thing and give the priest either 2 pistols and grenades or an autopistol and a pistol, which lets your priest be one of New Antioch's best melee units (since pistols act as clubs that use ranged +dice).Sniper rifles are for models with middling shooting stats. Going from +4d to +5d on a sniper priest is a joke. Going from +0d to +1d and getting double the short range bracket on a rifle Yeoman is legitimately good.
>>97271734I know they are at the bottom, found that out when I got btfo'd the first campaign by game 8 out of 11.My primary issue was that I didn't have enough gunz and modelz to force injuries early on when a jezzail with alch. ammo was at peak performance. I lost the first 2 games badly; in one, both my bull and alchemist were OoA before even INJURING an enemy model. By then, I was so far behind, and other armies so far ahead, that catch up was improbable, and I was forced to use lions and absurd weight of fire to win objectives and force draws. I haven't gotten so fucked over since... well, it's been a long time since I felt genuinely hapless.My new plan is to maximize my weight of fire advantage early while planning for later acquisitions. I am hoping for 2-3 glorious curbstomps to accrue ducats/glory to hopefully stay one step ahead of the others, and when they do catch up, break even by dint of early success.
>>97272621Funny thing is the best way to play IS is to build tall with House of Wisdom, take your lumps with a mediocre early campaign. And then pull ahead with the flexibility of weapon stealing and the Homunculi that you can add to as the campaign progresses and are super cheap to revive if they die.
>>97269478Fair enough, thanks for the honest reply. Like I said earlier, I didn't want to kick any hornet nests, I was just curious.

>gain traction from GW losing community goodwill>immediately start killing your own community goodwill before you even have a product fully outWhat is this business strategy called?
>>97272931Honestly once you and your local wargamer/skirmisher group get to know the system, it very quickly turns into rocket-tag. It's further exacerbated when you run it in its intended mode as a campaign.

Happy New Year, anons! May 2026 be the year we all finally get published! Or, you know, for some of us at least be the year we actually finish our novel.
Im out of my depth hereTL;DR Im trying to learn how to run a setting I have no experience with. Looking for setting influence. -I would like some help with this concept, post apocalyptic science fantasy. The idea that the world was propelled forward by magic tremendously, but then cataclysmic events reset civilization, and now were living in the post era. Im used to running Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Lancer, but this new group has requested me to run fantasy for them. I agreed, but I told them I wanted to draw from influences that im familiar with, the closest comparison I can think of is the Televison Show Adventure Time where there was technology and then a fall, and now we have magic and some science tech. Disparate cities and no main governing body. -So, im looking to add to my influence, are there any pre existing settings ? Are there any fun things you've ever wanted to do along these lines ?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97264488>Palladium's Rifts setting is pretty interesting.It's a retarded boomer's kitchen sink setting.
>>97269915>states the obviousThat's a big part of what makes it interesting.
I really really like this type of setting. I have my own and it sucks, it's kinda painful when you care a lot about something and that care sets impossible standards that conflict with each other.I think the gold standard now, or at least a couple years ago, was Ultraviolet Grasslands. The wackiness was controlled by a straightforward structure of point crawl merchants, you can then stop at some dungeon or something but the book orders itself with that concept.I've tried running it and I'm convinced only the author can actually run that thing, but it's still pretty cool.
If you like the Thundarr/Kamandi vibe check out Umerica. It's the US after some kind of catastrophe destroyed everything and gave us magic. It's pretty silly dumb with its references, like Disney has turned into an aztek style dead cult to the big headed gods they found there or Fort Knox is the only place that takes dollars because they think they have to keep them like pieces of art. It's dumb fun, but it has tables and mechanics for cars and tongue in cheek treassure that might help you if you want that tone.>>97263915If you want something like Nausicaa, Cloud Empress is pretty heavily inspired. It's more of a post-post apocalipse, a lot of the land is sustained in a very exploitative balance between nobles with old tech and villagers that farm most of the year and run from giant bugs during summer. But you can travel into the ruins of the old world and it's very clearly a futuristic scifi abandoned city.
>>97273075Maybe if it were made by a more intelligent boomer with good taste.
