Every time I search for a cool "barbarian" in some RPG, no matter if it's dark fantasy or not, it's always the half-naked dude or chick that looks like he / she has just wake up after an university party.
It gives the same vibes that you get from watching an historical film and for some reason, the filmmakers hate natural colors and must put a filter that ruins your immersion.

Is it there a good RPG with proper "barbarians"?

It always makes me smile to look back and remember the first Conan story ever has him already king and he's drawing maps.
>>
>>96461876
Yes! Exactly! He's a competent monarch because monarchs are de facto outside of society by being above it. Conan has a deep bag of tricks born out of his rugged outdoorsmanship and many travels. He will never make a good farmer and he doesn't have what it takes to be a brewer or miller. A Barbarian doesn't have those ties to civility like a Fighter might. But you need someone as a sellsword, sea reaver, burglar, bodyguard, assassin, monarch, hunter, horseman or dungeoneer then you would be wise to call on Conan in every case. That's the Barbarian bag and origin. All the magic powers, totemic spirits & berserker rage stuff is best left to Druids. High level Barbarians should be frightening because they could spring almost anything on you and they're accustomed to fighting with fear, rage & hunger in their hearts all at once. The Barbarian is cool under pressure and comfortable being threatened by primal sources, he does not command nature, he is a survivor that is part of it. When you feel the fear you start sweating, when the Barbarian feels the fear he starts thinking.

>>96457768
Its like this because early D&D players wanted play a Conan type figure and Gygax when codifying classes saw the range of Conan as described accurately by >>96461497 and thought it was to overpowered conceptually.
So he made the concept into a dumbass as a "balancing" call.
And because D&D is D&D, it went from there.

Edge of the Empire rewards you for becoming either obligated to a criminal boss or being legit (you can be dirty or clean with each side having some advantages).
Age of Rebellion rewards you mostly by your loyalty to the rebel alliance.
Force and Destiny is your Jedi being bipolar on a personality trait.

>>96452406
How was Acolyte revisionist? It didn't make the Jedi bad guys. As others have argued it's critique of the Jedi could be considered toothless.

What they did was a massive fuck-up, a sort of Waco Texas. While certainly they should be penalized for incompetency, this is in line with them holding several staff-meetings with a Sith Lord as their boss and not realizing it until the last second. The most morally shady thing they do is cover up said fuck-up, but that was a decision made on the ground and not by the Council or anyone. And even then, it wasn't so much an active cover-up so much as those involved being very choosy in how to detail their report (an Obi-Wan Kenobi level of 'true from a certain point of view).
>>96453323
A New Jedi Order could have been done (and likely still will be for necessity sake) I think the issue was more setting Rey up to have WAY less resources than Luke, but nobody thought about how logistics is meant to work in Star Wars. Which is why my theory is Ahsoka will do it- since it make more narrative sense for her to do it than Rey.
>>96454081
Yeah that's in line for what I expect from Star Wars retcons, and about what my imagining was. I guess I'm one of those people who would argue that consists of two different republics even if there is a line of continuity there. Heck- France is on their Fifth Republic right now, and some even think they might be on their way to their sixth.

Personally- I actually find it fun to reconcile two competing lore ideas, like to me I think it can be both true the Sith Empire imploded itself, while also the Jedi were the ones to defeat them. Typically extremists and autocrats are their own worst enemies. Arguably the Nazis defeated themselves by running their country into the ground and declaring war on every single major power, to the point where they were looking into researching magic as a way to defeat the Allies.
>>
>>96461999
Personally I just find it odd that there hasn't been any major adaptions of the Sith Empire, outside of TOR and some visions shorts to my knowledge (by which I mean- stuff that's not comics or books that only the super-dedicated fans would be aware of).
>>
>>96461999
>It didn't make the Jedi bad guys.
Yes, it did. This might not be your understanding of the show (as far as I'm concerned, for example, everything the jedi did was 100% justified), but that was certainly the intention of the author. The jedi (and more specifically Sol) were supposed to be wrong at every step of the way, both during the coven crisis and during the actual events of the series. Sol couldn't even die in a good manner, because by allowing himself to be killed he stole agency from Osha again and infantilized her.

You are right to compare the situation to Waco, but it's written to be Waco in its most uncharitable, "ATF is Satan" version.
>>
>>96461999
>What they did was a massive fuck-up, a sort of Waco Texas.
Did the Waco guys put a girl on a pyre and give the impression to any reasonable observer directly in front of the cops that they were going to light it on fire and kill her? Because those witch-bitches absolutely had it coming, the lead one turned into a fucking darkside smoke monster.

Don't pretend any of the retardation in that show was in any way intentional and clever, they absolutely intended the viewer should take the Jedi as the villains they're just so ideologically vapid and functionally incompetent that they couldn't pull it off.

>The Path of the Dark Eldar trilogy is pretty widely regarded as one of the best sets of Xenos books in the whole setting.

>Yeah the Path of the Dark Eldar is a very tight and good read. All of the characters are pretty interesting despite all being Drukhari, and it really gives you a good look at the differences within the culture. Fun concepts like Ailendrach where Mandrakes live, the large amount of pocket dimensions very close to Comorragh proper, Incubi shit. I liked it a lot. The Archon was pretty cool too and I was rooting for him, but Vect is inevitable.

>Path of the Dark Eldar is fucking god tier, bar none the best xenos trilogy BL will ever put out and it's such a shame it rots in obscurity. I cannot recommend it enough.

> Have you even read Path of the Dark Eldar? Honestly they're probably the best written and most fleshed out Xenos faction in the game if you actually bother to read their trilogy. It's absolutely ridiculous how Craftworlders get absolutely shit on by GW yet Deldar get a god tier trilogy that no one read.

> Seconding Path of the Dark Eldar. It's better than any of the Craftworld books.

that's protestant shit (vanity), though it's better than jewish shit where you just have to be born into it. You're putting too much focus on the person being special, whereas with catholicism the point is nobody is special - everyone's shit and a sinner.
In reaching for the cross in their time of need that is a tacit submission to God and a plea to his mercy, regardless of whoever that person was before. Even the person returning to sin after the fact isn't a barrier to that (frankly it's expected).

>>96455515
Where I see shintoism sorta overlap with vampires (aside from touhou of course, but let's ignore that) is the general central tenent of the separation of the divine or pure, mundane, and profane into their own specific spaces. And that lines up with a lot of the traditional "anti-vampire tech" out there, if not all of them. Stuff like being unable to cross running water, having to be invited into homes, even garlic as a ward - it's very easy to find parallels with that and Shinto traditions such as Shimenawa or Ofuda (or even like setsuban if you want to stretch it). So in that hypothetical, I think that if you are running with the premise that shintoism affects vampires at all, warding and sealing are definitely within their wheelhouse.
Killing Vampires however? Less so. That's more within the realm of what gods would potentially do themselves than anything a priest or priestess would be doing.

Ed Greenwood himself added him into Forgotten Realms in an old Dragon article and straight up called him Aslan in it.

What made gnomes so special that they needed to be a core race for so long? they were only introduced shortly after the original races buts still stick around to this day. they are never really popular player races, and don't really fulfill the same fantasy tropes as the other races did
So why stick around as a core and not just be a later supplement?

>>96459597
Gnomes have a pedigree in real-world myth and legend at least as established as faeries and elves. The distinction between gnomes and dwarves is a relatively recent development in specifically Anglophone literature, in the sense that in original tales the characterization of the creatures depended upon the culture. In some regions, they were definitely what we today would call "gnomes". In others, they were more definitely like "dwarves". Making matters more complicated of course is that there isn't a consistent terminology used for either description.

But "short, inhuman folk of a semi-magical nature who live underground and create magical crafts" have been around for at least as long elves and faeries have.

They probably just didn't want to remove any core races, I don't think that had ever been done until 4e.
>>
>>96459601
>but why keep them around when the rule was long forgotten
Because despite the many retards here who seem to think halflings and gnomes are the same thing, they arent. They occupy their own niche of being a short magical pseudofey with an interest in innovative technology. The details of each race are fucking important to why they still exist and are separate concepts. That you lot of retards cant remember them or keep them straight in your heads doesn't give you an excuse to remove races.

As time has gone on each of these races has been given a specific niche, and expanded lore that makes them very different creatures. Thats why they stick around, they occupy a niche not covered by another race.

>>96460073
>both by having Gnomes not be core
Gnomes werent "core" in 4e because there was limited space in the first PHB and they wanted to include dragonborn and tieflings over the "standard" set of races. Beyond that the concept of the core race is something very stupid in 4e because they were released in the PHB 2, which is considered a core product for 4e alongside the PHB 3 and all DMGs.

Trench Crusade General - /trench/
Weird love 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 not
TC 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?

Sorry lads I'm retarded, I forgot something
There was an image of the stl for the official goetic warlock model, so that's coming in the super near future
Likewise rules for the combat biologist are coming very soon, he will be more dangerous based on the blood markers of the guy he's attacking
Thanks for putting up with me anons!

>missed the campaign at my LGS because I didn't know about thr game
>apparently the local mega lardass (who is a weird sycophant to the owner) and boomer owner are the only people who can run TC campaign/events
>They don't want to run one right now
Lowkey thinking of going to another store and seeing if they'll let me grass roots TC there. The problem is this other LGS feels like it's corporate run. Random new workers every few weeks and the only games they cater too are MtG and 40k. They also have an obscene amount of dice for dnd. I'm talking like a wall and a showcase just for dice

Man that goes pretty counter to TC in particular and FLGS's writ large. If there's another store nearby it's probably worthwhile to go elsewhere instead, but if not well just run games from home with whatever minis you can find

Just ask for some one off games. You don't have to do a whole campaign.

Homunculus are an interesting model since they become more cost effective in a campaign but are rarely worth it in a one-off.

It will pretty much always cost more to turn a Homunculus into a second-X than it would be to just buy X - but the resurrection feature and the larger sizes of end-campaign warbands means that becomes a much better value for money.

If you want one bull, you'd be better off buying a bull, but HoW can get you 2 almost-bulls.

Rroleplaying means pretending to be something you're not.

>pastes 70 pages of text that don't account for anything that might happened during the game

The worst are the paladins with prewritten "fall arcs".

>playing a human male
Not even memeing here. In 25 years of playing rpgs probably 90% of the problem players I've ever encountered have exclusively played human male characters. Compulsive powergamer? Always human male unless their build specifically requires some racial feat or something, and even then they'll usually try to get the GM to let them have some special snowflake backstory for why their human male can ignore the prerequisite. Any sort of disruptive jackassery justified by but it's what my character would do? Almost always playing a human male. Creepy ERP weirdo? Usually playing a human male. Zero understanding of personal hygiene? Always playing a human male.

Should every aspiring GM read Appendix N?
>>
If the GM wants to understand what AD&D 1e is trying to emulate, then yes.

For other systems? Not needed, but it can be a fun experience.

I've only read Anderson, Burroughs, Howard, Lovecraft, Morcock, Tolkien, Vance and Zelazny. Half the rest of those I don't even recognize.

But sure, anon. Read books. It's good for your brain. And none of this "audiobooks count" bullshit.
>>
I would encourage anyone to read fantasy that isn't Tolkien or Sandersonslop
>>
>>96461612
Sure. Reading is always good.
>>
>>96461612
No, most of the books on that list are dogshit.

The fall of the Night Lords to Chaos was the greatest loss the Imperium ever suffered. For those who argue that other losses were greater, those losses would not have occurred if the Night Lords remained loyal.
