The lego streetlights are an interesting choice, I always wonder about using lego for terrain, but I guess you'd need a lot of it to do it all in lego, and that stuff gets pricier every year.
I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97221065>Thematically, it's big onI can't believe I forgot this, but perhaps the biggest core theme of all is -revenge- and through it, perhaps justice. Fighting the conspiracies whose cruelty made you what you are and took everything from you, preventing them from doing it to anyone ever again. This drive to avenge themselves and the single-minded warpath it instills in Renegade Remade is the purpose and focus which keeps them grounded and prevent them from unraveling - whether physically, mentally, or spiritually - even as it's what makes them dangerous. I say "perhaps" because, if they are not entrenched in this conviction, they can instead be Devoted, having found a purpose to commit themselves to beyond their hatred. Unfortunately, this is usually to one of the conspiracies they would otherwise be fighting.
>>97221065>Black Vans, which OP mentioned, is going to provide options for drastically different setting milieus.>Thematically, it's big on themes like struggling with alienation from regular people and your former life, acting clandestinely to fall beneath the notice of something that wants to claim you, and the conspiracy and mystery cult angles that are common throughout ChroD as a setting.I will add that Black Vans specifically sets out to present variant rules and genres that let the GM adjust the tone and theme to whatever they want.Maybe the GM just wants some goofy, high-powered urban fantasy game with only a modicum of alienation and persecution. Black Vans can do that.A cyberpunk game about juggling a network of patrons and sponsors? A high fantasy game about heroic ideals and the interference of godlike beings? A post-apocalyptic game about hope and despair, and rebuilding a shattered world? A space opera game about toppling interstellar empires? A superhero emergence game about managing PR and worldwide sentiment towards all superheroes? A genre-bending game mixing several of these? Black Vans has this covered.
>>97221120I will add that even this has nuance.For one, while it is true that "go Renegade against the conspiracy that made you" is a recommended starting point, it is far from the only one. You might have Diverged thanks to an entirely different conspiracy, due to a freak accident, or because of your own wacky self-experimentation.For two, most conspiracies of the Web of Pain are indeed super-duper evil. Thus, Renegades fighting against them are "good guys" by default, while Devoted are positioned as "bad guys." But many Devoted are coerced or outright enslaved into service.Further complicating matters, some conspiracies are more neutral-ish, and a rare handful are morally and ethically upstanding. The Standing 5 Chinkon Collective and its Devoted are earnestly, genuinely trying to keep all of Japan safe from otherworldly threats. It is theoretically possible to play someone who goes Renegade against the Chinkon Collective, but if so, such a Renegade would absolutely not be fighting the good fight.
>>97221178Indeed, this degree of nuance is one of the major reasons why DTR is such a resounding success, while aforementioned BTP, which plays at nuance by never really committing to anything (i.e. many beasts say they exist to teach humanity lessons through nightmares, but in practice this is mostly just an excuse to justify their innately harmful existences) as a means of trying to cover up how incredibly shallow it actually is, sucks its own ass so hard it turns inside out.
>>97221178>>97221242Yet another point of nuance.Even in the best-case scenario of Renegades fighting some super-duper evil conspiracy, there are still so many innocent dupes and catspaws in the way. Let us take Standing 3 Corvalis Chemicals, for example, a stereotypically evil chemical company.Most of the people working there are simply wage slaves. They may be dimly aware that they are working for some "evil" corporation, but then, what huge corporations are not? Do these people really deserve to die when a bunch of Renegades storm a conspiracy Node with grenades, Storm Caller, and other devastating AoE attacks?This is precisely the point of Deep Dive's Kindly Ones, a Standing 7 conspiracy. They are dedicated to taking down the rest of the Web of Pain. Some are moderates, and some even try to eliminate evil conspiracies peacefully. The rest of the Kindly Ones are extremists who absolutely do not care about collateral damage, and think nothing of blowing up Nodes and everyone inside them.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
Do you prefer the seductionist harpies or the ones that will physically carry you off to a nest somewhere?
>>97213989Intentionally cultivated to suit certain needs; including and up to being a biological weapon. Not in the sense of your typical weekly serial monster, but specifically to create a fast-reproducing problem. These tiny races have a couple of advantages over zombies, namely intellect and self-preservation instinct. In certain circumstances, their weakness becomes a strength, as resources are dedicated to visibly larger threats, than the goblins/kobolds/gnomes that are mostly known for screaming at strangers and digging through trash.All in all, it is really hard to wipe out a species, especially one that has some low cunning and can bolt when shit goes wrong. It is an extraordinary investment that will take decades to happen, and it will take further centuries for the effort to have fully paid for itself.
>>97213989I mean we dont eradicate actual rats to extinction, why would we do that to sentient ones?
>>97221225Rats serve a useful ecological purpose. Goblins do not.
>>97219750Yeah, but Lord Anon is operating right next to a hostile kingdom, so he'd be the first to get hit whenver Shitstainia decides to reclaim their rightful clay or just raid for some goblin strange.

>>97220910>>97220911Alright you winged the first response. Maybe you should re-focus your efforts and try again.
>>97220910BrOSR fags are so completely irredeemable, and I think they revel in that.
>>97212715Modern players are dull, do not map, and there will always be frustrating communication issues.You can get away with just giving them the actual dungeon map, they will still occasionally get lost or take a wrong turn as long as you don't reveal the whole map at once such as with Roll20's line of sight lighting system.

What "magical realm" and edgy stuff do you like including in your RPGs?For me is forceful genderbending spells that can't be undone.
>>97217900>I'm not into furrydom, but the tits and ass bloating was way hot, bravo. I love it when sexy evil sluts are in way over their heads and get their comeuppance in style. I REALLY love it when said sexy evil sluts are scalies.>Tell me, how did your players respond to this?I mean, they were the ones who stuffed a staff down her throat and left it in her while she was screaming for mercy... they kinda walked right into that one.>Don't they tease you about your magical realm made of exploding scalies?Yes, but I fulfill their magical realms too, so it's all in good fun
I just mention slave girls and hot tavern dancers a lot.
>>97217955We're all a bunch of old genX neckbeards, instead, and at our table, we've always strived to avoid things getting too magical realmy, so it's kinda difficult to reach such a balance. Best we do on that front is to prank our designated party face, a really horny dude and champion whoremonger, that isn't afraid of getting frisky with very feminine transvestites from time to time ('I was mistaken', he always says when it happens, with a shit-eating grin), with making his characters too end up in bed with men in drag. Hence why my previous question to OP...

What game, in your opinion, has the greatest potential for ruining friendships? What game turns your friends into a bunch of Mr. Hyde assholes that start swinging?
Diplomacy.
>>97221090I think this is a meme answer. The only story I've ever heard of Diplomacy ruining any friendships was a very obviously fake green text from here where some girl gave a guy a blow job in the middle of the game to get a slight advantage that lead to winning the game. And then everybody clapped. After looking at the rules for 20 seconds, I realized the story was fake because the game is way to autistic for any girl to want to play it.

>>97221024Yeah I think the only real place where I would critique would be that last highlight (and only in those places where it's thick), the rest blends in nicely.
>>97221012depends. some of them I know I didn't put any effort into so I didn't hesitate to strip them after a couple of years. the other ones? that's what I made when I wasn't as good at painting, no reason to change anything.

I like the lore of D&D, I like the mechanics of Warhammer Fantasy, so just for fun I want to try and build functioning armies for Warhammer Fantasy based on D&D creatures or factions. Anyone interested in getting shit done?

>>97219574Yeah seems okay to me, I like bringing back stuff from old editions when I can except when it is stuff that is impossible to reconcile like giants changing sizes every few editions

>>97220881To compare, GM of Callidianon's game here. Psyker, several months ago made contact with the world-soul of Iocanthos which showed him a vision of the Tyrant Star. As a result he gained a permanent +1 bonus to all of his Manifest rolls, but after arriving on Malfi his divination powers started acting erratically. As an example, when he attempted to do a reading with the Emperor's Tarot, he drew 'The Extinguished Star' every time, signalling something that was set in motion long ago was going to happen, which drove him mad and knocked him unconscious. He now has to deal with all of his divination powers showing him the Tyrant Star, which he knows for dead certain is going to arrive on Malfi soon - and exposure to it inflicts ramping Insanity and Corruption.
>>97221081Start one.
>>97221095I’m a forever GM running on 8 years now, I need to play
>>97221164Okay? Never said you had to run it, rope someone into doing it or get one of those dudes who run games for pay. And yeah sure>paying for a GMYou're asking to play a system that's decades old now. If you can't find a game being advertised on discord, roll20 etc. then that's your best option. Most 40krpgers have long since moved on from 1e.
So far for the next series, I showed off the Scramble for Commorragh, where players can fight to claim districts of the Dark City, and the (still incomplete) Directive Tree, where the players can all put XP together to gain new assets and abilities. But those assets, how to upgrade them? Enter the Chop Shop. Some assets and vehicles can be upgraded with new abilities by spending Salvage acquired from Raids and Corruption Missions. Spend the Salvage, get the upgrade. And if there's something the players have in mind, I'm sure the local Reaver Queen can help out. Anything in the name of quarterly profits, after all.Next, I need to check on something, because if that something is fleshed out enough, I may be able to do something really fucking funny.

>>97220961you have to caveat that by the fact Russ is a turbo-retard who's literally wrong every second of his entire life, so his list is entirely meaningless.He thinks he could beat Angron in a fight and yet Angron absolutely buttfucked Russ when they fought, but Russ said "I could order 200 of my men to shoot you while you're raping my asshole, that'd show you HAHA!!!"There's no universe in which Angron does not defeat Russ given equal weapons and 1v1 like he already did. Russ is in the 2nd bottom tier of primarchs (above the full nerds like no-magic-magnus, lorgar, guilliman) but below literally everyone else.
>>97221087>Lost to the NailsBut does Ld10 matter against Pinning, which tests against Cool instead?I feel the stereotypical WE list doubles down on having huge anti-infantry melee and ignores basic antitank... Though Spartan fire is on par with Rapier Destroyers, and that list also brought a Typhon.I really can't believe it did all that on 3k pts.
>>972185923 weeks you tard just like every GW preview to release schedule
>>97221193lost to the nails removes all statuses and sets both Ld 10 and Cool 10. It's unreliable until any WE prime slot apothecaries can activate Nails at start of any charge phase automatically (not a reaction, costs nothing) - instantly giving them +1A and 10ld/10cool.No opinion on other anon's random probably bad army list.
>>97218592imagine caring about a release date when the battleforce is utterly ruined by the melee-only leviathan (which can never actually catch anything) and the new boxes are ruined both by terrible female sculpts with girly proportions, horrible weapons on the sprues and being in 6man boxes instead of 10 terminators (enjoy your 67% shrinkflation)
