You know what, You are right. We should actually discuss our chains. Currently in my chain I am rewriting the first jump because the first and second jump stories were kind of mid. Not terrible but not good. Sadly writers block and lack of energy is kicking my ass. My jumper is in Gargoyles and bought a Pharmaceutical company that was the remnants of not-Umbrella after they were sued to oblivion and there is about to be an outbreak of man made monsters because a nosy protester sets something loose so my jumper who currently has no combat abilities is going to have to go hat in hand to beg the Gargoyles for help. Also no they aren't going to sleep with Demona. A+ looks, D- personality.

I'm doing a mecha chain, again. It's my eightieth one.

Started in Railroads because spending fifty years as an engine driver's a good way to get used to long periods of time doing nothing, and the Casey's Cannonball and Unstoppable perks are amazing for a mecha chain

Then I hit up Armored Core 4 for Human PLUS and Lightning Bruiser, forcing me to deal with corporate greed and turning me into a small frail loli that can't exert herself all that well.

Third was Bubblegum Crisis for Master of War, where I kludged together a piece of shit mecha out of random junk I found in the dumpster and robbed a bank, then got pressganged into working for the local police

I hit up Lost Planet afterwards to get my first actual mech, the PTX-40A Hardballer. It's an absolute garbage mech that can lose against a moderately skilled martial artist, but all my buffs push it to a pretty nice level

Then I hit up Zoids for Metalmending to fix up my Hardballer where I ended up becoming a Zoid Veterinarian

Might need to slot in System Shock 1 before AC 4, to pick up a bunch of it's cybernetics as biological alternatives.

The Biological Systems Monitor would be helpful for ensuring I get the maintenance I'll need in AC4, the Navigation and Mapping Unit and Target Identifier are nice to have in general, and the Environmental Protection Suit would protect me from airborn contaminants, which is important when you're a small sickly loli.

Also, the Multimedia Data Reader would give me something to do on long guard missions, and possibly a way to control my mech without needing physical controls. Cortex Reaver would let me do stuff while fucking around with my Data Reader too

Rolled 2 (1d3)

1 - Enjoy and relax
2 - Do some testing related to seizing power in this kind of setting
3 - Capitalize on the unique opportunity to hone a particular skill

So much this. I want to skim an 'army book' of a game Im familiar with and immediately pick up on which faction it is because they're all distinct in fun and meaningful ways. The worst games are ones where you cover names and show me stat lines and abilities and I have no clue

Apart from the rampart series and similar where it's designed to let you make yourdudes yourway with what you might have on hand of course

They should not have gotten rid of the old site. They had painted examples that weren't transferred over. They used submitted images of painted models they didn't have a 'studio paintjob' for. The forum was ancient, but it had examples of nearly every model they made, and it's all gone now. And they lost their detailed tags.

>>97359404
Thats a decent idea, i think heresy has a system like that, a core force org, then your added leaders or warlord add extra flexibility to army construction. Could be a good way to add some variance. I've always wanted a bike character to unlock more slots for bikes. Still doesn't help me with the immediate issue of balancing wargear, model, and unit costs, but I'll highly consider adding that in.

>>97359022
I've never actually looked into Battletech's tonnage system, but I'd assume it's similar to a points cost where the size of your mech is X tons, and each big gun you strap on to them is Y tons, up to a Z limit or something like that.

>>97359718
I've got 9 factions with 10 units plus 1 named character for each as a start. Each faction has 3 Leaders, 2 Troops, 2 Vanguard, 2 Mobile, and 2 Support units, and I've attempted to make sure that each faction from the start can at least do everything everyone else can.

Some Factions are much better at certain game aspects than others are; The super shooty army isn't the best in melee, but has units that can still hold their own. I tried to make sure that each faction leans into their own theme, but multiple playstyles can emerge from each faction based on what you like to play.

With leaders possibly offering different force org combinations, that opens up even more potential for army variance, but I still need a points system. I might just have to bite the bullet and figure out some arbitrary way to give costs to things. That'll bump up playtesting time a whole lot longer, for sure.

In my playtest games, I've had both players start with an equal number of bases for each side, and it's worked out decently well for a "half-sized" game, the armies are mostly equivalent in power at that size of game, but I don't think it'll fly for a hyper-elite army or horde army playstyle. If both players get 50 "bases" worth of models, the custodes player will overrun the genestealer cults player every time.

>>97359435
I 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?

>>97359530
They'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.

>>97355569
Fuckin 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.

Anon, I'm so sorry the longer I look. The worse this army looks. No offense.

>War Prophet
You need to ensure this model is a bit heavier. Invest in at least standard armor. You should be running the Anti-Tank Hammer.

>Castigator
The way you're running them is wasted. Give them a Punt Gun and some armor as well. The Shrine doesn't need the Punt Gun. Also try to get some armor.

>Shrines
Limited yourself to one. You're starting your warband. You can ALWAYS buy another down the road.

Trench Pilgrims aren't to be slept on with their Anti-Fear mechanics on their Iron Capirote. Just give them some bolt action rifles and some Bayonets.

Think of it as you building up the board to get your second Shrine.

>>97360251
may I get a rating
>>97358809

>>97358809
As I said the other Army list, Sniper Priest with a Machine Gun is utterly superior in every way. It may not allow you to pin an enemy down across the map but with your current build you have enough models to hold them in place.

Getting another Machinegun in the list or- rather your first one will make a pretty big difference.

>Grenades
I don't know who the fuck hurt you but not every single model needs a grenade, you will be lucky if you throw two in a game. Three max if your enemy is really unlucky or just not playing well.

Try to remove some of them, see how much Ducats you have left to try and invest into more Yeoman.

You have a musician. That's great, don't know what that Frag Grenade is gonna do for them in combat. Give them a pistol or something. You don't want a sitting duck.

Other than that the list seems solid. Just ensure your LT isn't too battle-damaged from engagements or you might need to retire them.

>>97360303
>I don't know who the fuck hurt you but not every single model needs a grenade, you will be lucky if you throw two in a game. Three max if your enemy is really unlucky or just not playing well.
Prussians. Given they arent consumable (cept the charge) its arguably better to use and makes for an effective bleed/assault

>>97360393
True, but I'm firm on an addition of a Yeoman of possible!

>>97360406
So what’s your process here? Do you prepare this content in advance or on the fly? Let’s explore the homeless example. I’m guessing you don’t railroad the players into being at a specific gas station, so you improvise this homeless guy on the fly right? He makes sense in the context of the environment. I’m just curious how much of this you prepare in advance.

>>97360438
Yeah, I guess I have the same question.

>>97360442
I think he’s saying the way that the content exists in the world (improvised; randomly generated, pre planned, or some combination) looks functionally identical to the player at the table as long as it makes sense in the context of the environment, right?

>>97360485
It doesn't matter how it looks to the players. Total perfect simulation is the correct method, and no other shall be permitted.

>>97360489
That’s the dream. So are you creating and simulating every aspect of your world prior to introducing your players to it? Do you improvise most of it?

>>97360172
I'm not able to post the full thing and would probably be embarrassed to do so. I think having a set idea of the roster would be great. That's my bias, though.

Basic idea of the system is it takes about an hour to walk 3 miles so that's used as the baseline. Meadows, fields, etc. Distance is halved or even brought down to 1/3rd depending on how difficult the terrain is. Phrased differently, difficult terrain may have 1 environmental hazard every x hours. The more that they run into, the less likely there will be another, the longer without the more likely there will be one. Represented by starting on a d10 and ratcheting lower down to a d4 for more likely or going up to a d20 for less likely. Like yours, it was on a 1. Simple stat rolls to overcome an obstacle. Failing just meant they were more tired.

Similarly, enemy density is rolled by expected resistance. Whether that is every mile or every 3 is dependent on the territory. From what I remember, there were different bands of territory with heavy presence and longer stretches with no one (1d4 vs 1d20 rolls), but the danger came from exhaustion.

Every fight or obstacle would cost 1 exhaustion, which every 5 HP the PC has, they gain 1 additional exhaustion. When they run out of exhaustion, they lose -1 to stat rolls until a long rest in a safe place.

YMMV. Enemies were less important than simple stat rolls that would cause exhaustion loss if failed, but it also meant the 'fighter' types actually had a built-in mechanical advantage to endurance. Having to choose between the potential for many combat encounters along a contested road with the guarantee of a friendly camp or taking the long way and showing up weaker for a fight was a fun debate to watch. I think it added to the game.

>>97360489
Except that higher powers put the hobo there on random chance rather than the hobo having any agency because he's not a real person but actually an obstacle.

A question about readying actions. Can you add an
>or
To the trigger. For example last session my cleric said he would use radiance of the dawn either when all the enemies were within range or at initiative 1. Can you add triggers? How many can you add because it could get silly? If you don’t use it on a trigger so you miss your chance?

>>97360228
That's a DM call. Personally, I wouldn't allow it unless a player made a strong case for why they're really two versions of the same trigger.
>or at initiative 1
Well, that's flatly against the rules, which state that it must be a "perceivable circumstance". Player characters can't perceive the initiative count.

Night of the Walking Dead

>>97360182
Yes? What about them?

>>97356728
I thought that was generally understood.

Most systems and book series go through various answers but normally elves make better wizards overall. Either the elves have an extra century or two to learn and master their craft, or they are some inherently magical species that is just plain better by birth. It's all the same in the end.

Humanity's strength is always in numbers. They are not the best at anything but they are more populous. They are the smart horde species while orcs, goblins and everything else that wins wars through wave tactics are complete savages. Humans are the mostly intelligent wave tactic savages that can be kind of not shit at things.

>>97356728

No, because the person who commissioned that art is a faggot.

A character's proficiency in any particular field is determined by how the amount they invest in that field, and everyone gets the same total amount to invest in their abilities. End of.

Where is this? Can't seem to find it on the mediafire.

Have we done anything with John Browning yet? I've been discussing gun designs with a friend, and the subject of Browning came up with him getting started in this exact period. Of course, most of his more famous designs, the 1911, Hi-Power, .50 M2, etc. are from later, but he was still designing and making several firearms before the turn of the century. And we've nudged the development period of certain designs before, with the Maxim I believe.

I'm just divided on whether to keep him pretty normal with a blank cheque from the government post-Paraguay, or work in something Hyperborean. He'd basically be a saint up there with everything he's made/going to make. Alternately, I thought about somebody finding a 1911 or something on the battlefields of Paraguay and it makes its way into his hands (2000 Psychic Wars!)

>>97360094
We haven't done enough with the Paraguayan War in general. The Second Oriental Crisis got a massive point by point description, and the Fall of Paris and the survival of the city also has a ton of lore. Compared to them, Paraguay has very little.
