Post lore retcons that would piss you off For me Horus comes back and is the one sitting on Golden Throne
>>97359435Why would I go out of my way to think of scenarios that would piss myself off?
>>97359435I agree with the other poster, what a daft thought exercise. Probably the worst thing I could think of already happened anyway with Lion pardoning The Fallen, removing anything interesting they and the DA had going. I haven't kept up with nu-lore mostly due to this stupidity, but what drives the Angels now? Are they still all secretive and still race away from engagements, or what's their shtick now?
>>97359530They're still searching for Fallen, but Lion does the initial investigation. If he decides they were cool, they become a Risen. If he decides they were a nigger, then he lets the Interrogator Chaplains do their thing. The Dark Angels are doing what they normally do. The Lion is doing his forest walk thing to put out fires in Nihilus.
>>97355569Fuckin forgot to post before I went to bed. Sorry for leaving you hanging.My personal experience boils down to a single utter shitshow of a game which didn't even last a session, because the GM quite literally opened with "Okay so you're all on a spaceship and you want to go do some heresy, there's three planets nearby, a forgeworld, an agriworld, and a hiveworld, pick one and then go kill some people." The situation devolved from there. Note the distinct lack of "who are your guys and what are their motives, why are you all working together, what's your objective" in there. An hour in and nobody's mentioned my name once, the GM clearly doesn't care to go into enough detail to make tech-use applicable, so I mentally check out, lower the volume to something less distracting, and go finish a video lecture. Get up for a bathroom break, come back, the server's fucking gone. I ask my buddy, another player, what the fuck happened, and he just says "Sometimes you gotta rip it out root and stem, man."Now that's just a shit GM being a shit GM, but it's representative of a subset of people who are only there to do lolrandom dumbfuckery. Black Crusade attracts those like flies, because they see "this game is about being horrible evil chaos bastards" and they think "oh, finally, a game for me!" They don't want to engage with the game as it's meant to be played, they want to use it as an excuse to act in ways that are unacceptable at a table, and they think the subject matter gives them that excuse. Y'know, like FATAL.This is not exclusive to the lolrandoms, either, but I'm fresh out of brain juice so I'm just gonna tell you to imagine That Guy, think about what makes him That Guy, and think about whether he thinks he could use Black Crusade as an excuse for being That Guy. I'm telling you, man, it's like flies. And it's fucking shameful, because the careful political aspects of balancing a chaos warband are actually a compelling premise.
Hey thereI've decided to start a West Marches-style campaign on my LGS. It sounds the perfect style to run for a public setting w/ rotating players, but I myself have never DMed oneAny experiences, tips and advices regarding DM-ing/playing West Marches style games?Or general tips for running games on LGS ? For those unfamiliar with West Marches style, here is what google have to say about it:>Player-Driven Exploration: Players decide where to go and what to explore, venturing into unknown territory from a safe starting town.>Rotating Cast: A large pool of players participates, but different combinations of adventurers form parties for each session, preventing the need for a single regular group.>Sandbox World: The world is a sandbox, with the map and plot emerging as players discover new locations and rumors, rather than being dictated by the GM.>No Fixed Schedule: Sessions occur when players organize themselves, often on a voluntary basis.>Low GM Prep: The Game Master (GM) focuses on creating a world and potential encounters, responding to player choices, rather than crafting complex plots.>Self-Contained Sessions: Adventures are often designed to be resolved in a single session, with storylines evolving over time.Comment too long.

>>97355649>>97355711Adding to this... I literally almost fell to the quantum ogre theory when I started to plan this campaign:>decided that first session would not start in camp>instead, players will have fled the sinking ship on a long boat and land somewhere else on the coast>first quest is to find the remaining of the survivors (aka the camp)>players have two options - follow the coast north or south>one is where the rest of the survivors are, the other now>"but what if they go wrong way? maybe i should put the survivors to any direction they go">immediately realized *THAT* would be textbook quantum ogresNow I'm between either dropping that idea and already starting at camp w/ ~3 rumors (what I had in mind for session 2), or maybe still do the idea but set camp on a fixed direction (effectively keying it to a hex), and in case they go to another direction too badIn the latter case, penalty for not finding the rest of the crew would be missing an experience reward from doing the objective, but still they could just go another route or even decide to fuck it and go deeper into the continent to see what's there. Depending on how far they explore, they could potentially make as much experience not following the objectiveComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97355767>Thoughts anyone?You've got more than enough ideas that its getting in the way of running your game. Really. Its just piling more shit on at this point and I get you're excited about a thing but the more you fantasize about it before playing it the worse its going to get.
>>97355777Well, if I could I would have scheduled the first session for today (Tuesday night), but manager from the LGS said there were already too many groups playing today and asked to start at next week insteadWhile I agree that thinking too much can be a problem, I'm actually getting A LOT of prep done these past few days. Currently, I'm researching combat balance tips and CR monsters to put together interesting tables of what can be featured on which biome and whatnot. Nevertheless, some ideas that come to me I just put them on hold because there are things that are simply not worth thinking about at this stageOne thing that came to me right now is:>my play test session has only 3 PCs atm>however, I'm "balancing" everything to be at least 4 PCs>considering inviting one of the "official" players to the test session (lets call him Bob)>that could potentially make the test session an official session>next Tuesday, I would tell the new players that the Bob's PC arrived in the camp later and already explored the wildernessThis would be interesting because it would fix the size problem for my test group, and would link both groups together - that way, if the group I'm using for test decides to keep playing the WM campaign, I could run that group in parallel (that would be schedule efficient since we already meet every week anyways) while already having a connection to the "main" LGS groupHelps that Bob already knows my core group since they are all part of my MtG draft group
Color scheme looks shitty, but I've been testing the map generation procedure in hand (plus, getting familiar with it - the hex copy feature is still a bit harder to remember the directions)
>>97355767I think you should abandon the idea and just start with the camp with some rumours. Having your first session be set up differently than the rest of it just seems strange, especially because so few of the players will actually get to experience it.However, if you do stick with this and want to avoid quantum ogres, I would let them make a choice but give them very strong indicators that one direction likely has more shipwreck and maybe more people, while the other direction is complete wilderness. Otherwise having them choose to go north vs south is a meaningless choice anyway.>>97355904This feels a little strange to do. I could imagine a new player being put off by "hey this one dude already has gotten to explore the world a little bit with my friends, a group that you'll never meet". Also I think having some people that are part of the campaign but who never meet or interact with any of the other people might also feel odd, as I imagine that ideally everyone in the LGS group would end up at least get acquainted with everyone else. Having a separate group completely disconnected from that would be weird. I don't think it's a huge deal though if you really want to do it
Based uhh... *checks notes*Based Games Workshop?!
>>97358722Grok is compromised
>>97358692Yeah, don't let the anons attack the billion dollar company! They wil thanky you, and reward you!
>>97358729Any large LLM is, obviously. Just wait for the bubble to burst, teh tech to mature a bit and then everyone will just run a local instance.Sadly, we have to live through a few years of globally shared development hell first.
>>97358187I read the article it references protecting their IP, seems to me they are obviously afraid of llms being used to generate unsanctioned images of spacemarines and shit like that. Makes sense with how litigious they are with their IP
Wow this just happened to come out after the UK government started talking about banning things for AI. What a coincidence.

>>97359359I wonder how few is too little. My game has three
>>97359359I don't think you can make a general rule, depends on how consistent and accessible resources are.
>>97359522That new cyberpunk (genre, not IP) card game has just one.
>>97359359Mine has 12, and it's almost certainly too many for any other game
>>97359495>Yugioh has 6But functionally 0, which is why it so strongly shapes itself around archetype synergy. It lack the kind of power insulation inherent to the MtG system.
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97330128What if they had animalistic features on their arms and legs instead of just animal ears and tails?
>>97353862Objection!As a magically animated entity, this feline could have been subject to any level of tampering!Need I cite the precedent of Baron Blutwanger IV, of lower Doodle who appointed a talking harp as justice of the peace, which communicated solely in satirical verse and hypnotic tinkling sounds?
>>97359158Surely the visual can be executed better than that. Legit looks like she is either wearing a partial costume, or was some Frankenstein experiment.
This Nigger knows that Niggers are aggromorphic - a Nigger does possess traits widely Simia with Humans - A Nigger certainly is not Human. This Brother indentys like a Shit Figure.
>>97359595How about this one?
Is your character the type to hit on barmaids?
>>97355182Nope, you are.
>>97343045you could go back to playing the better version of the game with the Thrallherd.
>>97355182Kys for defending a redditor who spams his low quality slop on the catalog>>97354345Sharty was right, 4chan has gone to shit when the mods promote reddit spammers
>>97355246Sounds like your character is literally Johnny Bravo
>>97337982My current character is an evil over-deity's lab experiment (a daemon god of lesser deity status that is basically an amalgam of various fiends and Cthulhu on steroids). If he deigned to visit the mortal realm in the guise of a mortal, he'd probably avoid anyone that isn't in some way useful to his agenda. Hitting on her would not serve his purposes unless she had some value beyond her holes. So...probably not.
We have all experienced the coming and going so GMs, Players and games; and then left holding the bag too start all over again at Square One. If and when you have to start over from scratch how and where (online) would you start I'll look for groups and games?There has been numerous reasons that would force someone to start all over again be it scheduling, life, work, people changing.
>>97349325>>Check your local library or college for TTRPG clubsother anon here; did that, have now about two groups of teenager players; bad thing was for few years I were forever MG (still on plus managed to test near everyone RPG system I owned), but now they grew and are trying to GM on their own; major plus is I had willing players for historical and other wargames like DBA and Battletech

>>97359484Now, why the oil was so effective in Mirrodin: because most people where already half infected by things created by it. All the metal parts in people born in Mirrodin are side effects of the oil. The oil effect on metal things was stronger. In first Mirrodin we saw the Morriok that were plagued by a cancer like disease and once they died by it they would became Nins (the zombies that like artifacts). Later on Mirrodin Besieged they said Nins were subproduct of the oil and that made sense.After Memnarch downfall almost all his levelers stopped working, the levelers were probably unknowingly responsible for killing natural born phyrexians as they devastated everything periodically cleaning most of the surface and core of Mirrodin.>>97356435Well, Karn was corrupted between the time when he used his spark to close a rift in time (end of Time spiral-future sight) and the start of Scars of Mirrodin (about 40 years (?)). They said he returned to Mirrodin and went a period of resting (where he eventually started to be corrupted). Keep in mind that the oil that corrupted Mirrodin originated from his body.On behalf of Melira being immune they actually did it quite well on having her being a pure human without any metal parts in her body (AKA: the effects of the oil did not affected her).Karn recovery is a bit bullshit because he got Venser's Heart (and Spark) but Venser was also infected by mid-late Phyrexis (just not near the compleation or death phase). If I m not mistaken the recovery from the corruption was because of the walker-spark immunity to compleation so once he got a spark back he was able to 100% stop being corrupted.
>>97359046Master of Magic.It's basically MTG if it were a 4x game. You summon dudes, cast spells and it's all categorized into colored book magic. Except instead of trying to reduce your opponents lifetotal from 20 to 0 you sack all their cities and banish them to the shadow realm.Cool game even it it's old as fuck and has trouble running on newer computers.

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.
