>>97270010>>97270035>>97270040thanks a bunch!Couple more things, does the game... "flow" well? Is there always different things to do, or is it the usual "activate my strongest unit and shoot the enemy's unactivated strongest unit"? And can you snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, or if some random bad stuff happens early on, you are just in for 90 minutes of losing right from the start? And how does the game feel on the table, I mean... most games I have played are on the skirmish level and have that feeling of "this guy is behind this barrel so he gets a cover bonus, meanwhile this guy is aiming for an extra to hit bonus", from the couple of games I have seen SWL is a more "high level" with entire units doing things - which could be fine, but I am worried about the "granularity" of the game... like... like the units being sort of abstracted with the "only move the squad leader" and "everyone does the same thing" and the other models in a unit basically being tokens, window dressing, if that makes sense?This is one of my pet peeves with 40k, it is a game where the models "don't matter", it feels like in 40k you could draw a couple of blobs/rectangles on paper and just precisely position/measure them in a way to maximize your shots without really having to put models on the table. Especially with competitive table setups it boils down to geometry and math...
>>97268071The Sith vault within the Jedi Temple, whatever happened there?
>>97270346>does the game flow wellIn my experience, as long as the result of the game isn't a foregone conclusion, absolutely. Playing Legion is almost constant tension, action, rolling, planning and reacting. Every activation can change the state of the game, requiring you to adjust your plans. The only down time in Legion is when your opponent is thinking and when you're moving filler units.>And can you snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, or if some random bad stuff happens early on, you are just in for 90 minutes of losing right from the start?You can, definitely. I recently had a game where my opponent killed most of my army, but I managed to win by knocking one of his b1 squads off an objective in the last activation. Or, winning with exactly 1 b1 on the board because I scored more on turns 2-4.>other models in a unit basically being tokens, window dressingNope, where you put your non-leader minis does matter. For one, only minis that can draw line of sight to an enemy can shoot them. Two, you can bodyblock enemy squads and vehicles by spreading out your squads. Furthermore, enemy can only kill as many minis as they can see in their shooting attacks, so hiding your boys can limit enemy killing power.

Trench Raiding With The Lads 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.

>>97269610Fuck off. I’ve asked for links in these threads and multiple others and never seen a fucking thing. Also I see it’s now progressed to a ‘rape’, weird how it started as ‘Trench Crusade fans being edgy spergs’ and has become ‘serious crime’. For the record I’m Australian with deep connections in the Sydney scene going all the way back to the 90’s (think Atlantis Games on Pitt St before my friend Dennis committed suicide over that cunt Chaedy) and I’ve seen and heard literally nothing about it outside of unsupported claims in these threads.

>>97270461>fun units at the start didn't pocket me enough wins for the resources to spend later onThis is exactly why I warn new players against taking prestige units as part of their starting lineup.
>>97270534Had to learn that lesson, especially since IS fun guys are really NOT that good unless you spend big money on them.If I could, I'd start the game with 8 azebs.
>>97270461You really want Janissary Training on your Captain so they can take Heavy weapons. As is all it's got is an accurate semi-auto rifle/polearm.Alchemist is fine, sniper is a good stop gap until you can get a Masterwork Jezzail.Shotgun/Shield Azebs are an option, but their main strength is the cheap Jezzail/Alch Ammo loadout.You also want to squeeze a muscial instrument Azeb in there somewhere as Dashes can win games.Jannies are fine, although they can take a Heavy melee weapon as they're Strong.And yeah Murad Bull is a trap as it's not a good shot. The Flamecannon however is an absolute menace. And with how much you need to spend on a Bull, you really want to have it from the start and get it promoted ASAP.

I'm just gonna toss two words in here;WACKY. RACES.You're welcome.
>>97265462I've seen people run Mario Kart with it. Ironically, I think races are what Gaslands is worst at, because rarely does anyone actually finish the race. It's a huge collision clusterfuck right at the start, then weapons come online and the idea of actually racing goes out the window. I much prefer deathmatches or some of the arena types with goals to accomplish.
>>97269328What's the best mode to teach some new players (including myself) and let them have some fun? 1 car each and deathmatch?
>>97269808the official kids ruleshttps://planetsmashergames.com/sdm_downloads/gaslands-kids-mode/2 pages!
>>97269328I largely found the opposite. Races had several viable approaches including smashing everything immediately, dashing to the first gate and opening fire, and racing off into the sunset. Deathmatch games don't give much hope to light, speedy teams. Flag Tag mostly went too far the other way as a couple of buggies could usually rush some flags while a heavier team had barely got started. And Saturday Night Live was hugely sponsor dependent.
the paid dm defenders have always said they help people with no friends, but the last few months they are being promoted as>fun for friends>give your dm a break>let your group try a new systemim talking ginny d, reddit, forum posts, irl in-store. in all seriousness will people fall for this instead of having one of their friends dm
>>97266322>let your group try a new systemThis is the only reason I would pay someone to DM.
I'm part of a couple shop owner groups and the charging to be part of a DND group seems to be getting more common, some fees are up to $30 per player per session. The cherry on top is one store owner bragging how he sells what is essentially pay to win packs during Christmas time, this netted him $10k. IDK what cuck would want to be part of pay to win DND but they deserve to be had at that point.
>>97268601I know a paid GM. He charges 30 or 35 bucks per player per session (5 to 8 hours). Considering a cinema ticket costs 22 bucks in his country, I don't find this excessive. He also dedicates one room of his apartment for that (sessions are irl), and invested in a light and sound system, plus some kind of a screen system for battlemaps, etc. From what I've heard, he's really invested in the campaigns and in the character development. Personally, I wouldn't pay for a GM, but I can understand that it might appeal to people with enough disposable income.

>>97266322The only DM worth paying for is Van Darkholme.

>>97268923I suppose anon is correct >>97268983. The biggest driver is is hard to single out, but I reckon it's between publishers gladly junping on the train because productionis dirt cheap, shipping is much less of a factor per unit and smallbox games having a mild revival. The latter of which I think is an overall objective good; fuck boxed air
>>972665832025 games are too new to judge. A lot of these have not hit the wide market yet. If we look at 2022 and 2023:>2022JC 2nd and GoA II were a later hit. Big names from the time that are probably forgotten or less popular now are: Carnagie, Tiletum, GWT Argentina, Endless winter, Flamecraft, Libertalia 2ed, Lacrimosa, Weather machine, Mosaic, Ahoy, Encyclopedia, Cat in the box...>2023Horseless Carriage was forgotten but the wide availability and price drop have seem to given it second wind.Others: Bloodstones, ICE, Darwins Journey, Nucleum, Distilled, Apiary, Expeditions, Kutna Hora, Daybreak, Evacuation, The fox experiment, Septima, Arborea, Last light....Maybe I'm wrong and these are still widely played? But there might also be more, do people still play Earth, Vale of eternity, Age of innovation, Sky team?
>>97270384Pretty sure people still play a ton of sky team, it's continuously on top of the sales lists. And AoI mide not have made that much splash bg wide but is very beloved by the deeper TM community. Earth, however, can not be forgotten fast enough. That game still annoys me.Also good lists, most of them have very much faded from memory indeed.

>>97268565If you want the recipe:>I primed white, painted the whole thing with Frostheart contrast, washed it with Tyran blue, then poured clear UV resin into the cavity up to the level I wanted it at. Then I cured it, scratched it up with sandpaper and started painted in from the edges with layers of very watered down Lothern blue. Finally I dry brushed white along the edges and added some Valhallan blizzard technical snow.

Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97268165If you think they are then yes. Just keep in mind that how interesting they are don't really matter to how interesting your elves will be to other people in the end, that's going to be down to what you make of it.
>>97264885There is plenty of stuff you could do with shadow based/themed stuff. Thinking strictly from a D&D perspective one idea would be to manipulate light to adjust how far your shadow can extend and use it to "touch" things so you can use touch spells on someone.Or you can use the similar ability to adjust the length and shape of your shadow and transfer one of your senses directly to it like one of your eyes so you can see from a different angle or have a particular form of illusion that only activates in low-light conditions among other such ideas.

Why are wolves so common in TTRPGs as enemies?
>>97270004Also they aren't super weak. Being tripped is a big fucking deal at the level you're fighting wolves, and they use pack tactics, so you're tripped *and* flanked. That's a serious threat.
>>97269790Wolves are big and scary and they are quite capable of killing and eating a human being. They're real animals so they work in everything from high fantasy to zero fantasy survival games. Being real also means the "lore" is already written for them. You don't need to explain to your players what a wolf is does or looks like.

I played in a one-shot where the GM used hallucinated ChatGPT-drawn maps so bad they were actively useless. Not that positioning mattered, we were there to listen to the GM going on about his cool NPCs we didn't even get to interact with really. The maps were the worst part though, 10 minutes and graph paper could have made intelligible maps for the entire session. Hell, you could even use AI for reference, I don't care, just make them playable. Don't have us fighting in a 4 floor spiral staircase in a 2 floor house
