It ain't that deep. The many flavors of Spess Muhreens are just cool themes to make them stand apart and sell codicies. We have and entire chapter of mongolians, a whole chapter of vampires and even had a whole chapter of Africans. We have Knights Templar in both Crusades and Davinci Code flavors. We even have an Admech chapter. Space Wolves were the vikings, it stands to reason they should probably stay distinct in their themes and general look instead of just being Ultramarines that swapped laurels for pelts. But hey, I'll probably just continue to ignore it and the dindu heads can remain on the sprues

Man, I'm really sorry that things went so wrong for you. I wish I could've given you better guidance or something, I really wanted you to succeed and find something you were happy with. I hope you at least had fun for a while

Honestly, my headspace is a lot clearer, but I'm still angry as fuck at that outcome. I've been with enough rage to dissociate for the entire day, ever since last night.
Now that my faculties are a little better, it sucks I'm still angry.

Where the fuck can I find lists for participants in Outremer or the third crusade? I need to find heraldry suitable for the area but all I have is wappenwiki and that's really bare-bones, doesn't even have dates for when all the heraldry on the website was used.

Why did the Allies not make Finland and Thailand pay war reparations, did they hate money.

>>97344861
Finland and Thailand didn't have enough money to be worth squeezing. It was better to use soft power to influence their cold war alignment

Evening lads, I don’t suppose anyone knows of a trove containing all the old PnP games by The Perfect Captain? I’m mostly interested in their medieval rules/games especially Ironbow II, Strongbow, Princes of the East, In the Shadow of Byzantium, Villehardouin, Alexius 1113 AD etc.

Cheers boys, happy new year.

>>97344408
Wikipedia will get you participants. As for heraldry, it isn’t that common before the 13th C and even then, we rarely know the arms even for big names. There are usually fictive arms for the earlier period made up in the later middle ages, if you aren’t asspained to the Nth degree about historical accuracy.

There is the additional difficulty in that the eastern mediterranean societies the Latins found themselves in did not themselves use arms as in the west, even much later than this - this may have meant that local Latin settlers felt little pressure to take arms as it was not the local ‘fashion’.

Sorry it’s a ballache, but I hope it helps. I think it means that you can actually be quite free in your painting without being implausible or even inaccurate.

If I recall, Dungeons and Dragons has its origins in a dungeon dive Gygax and his buddies ran because one of their warbands in an ongoing Chainmail game was deep in the red, and it was a chance to get some salvage money in a hurry.

>>97344934
>im broke and wont hold down a job, dungeons pay well
That works but that is a boring reason and doesn't give a DM much to work with.
I like D&D because I like having a say on the narrative so I prefer something that the DM can use in the campaign.

The DM has the whole world to work with. PCs dont live in a story vaccuum. Work out a background timer and keep the world in motion as they sleep.

>>97344934

Perfectly respectable, if a bit plain. Most people would likely have at least some monetary or looting attraction, because they are broke or greedy. It doesn't need to be the only motivation though.

>You can't present a place that likely contains major power and riches without immediate security, ala a locked door. Otherwise it's not believable, and reads like your pandering to the party.

>But you don't want this to become a hump to play, so you set the locked door up, but you anticipate your party will search and find a hidden key nearby, as locked doors are want to have.

>Your party then proceed to all roll a statistically improbably low result, but you don't want to waste your one 4 hour slot a fortnight to watching your table suddenly have to switch their brains on to figure out a simple problem of 'get through the locked door', so you just give it to them, to get them through to the actually fun bit inside.


Easy.

>>97345207
In the case of mandatory activities, sometimes a check is how long it takes

even if you play 5E, read either Holmes Basic or B/X. D&D suddenly makes more sense.

>well uh, i try again!
>fail forward!
>take 10/20/whatever.

NONE of these matter. searching takes a turn, you search a 10-foot area, that's it. that's the abstraction. you either find the thing or you don't. but CRUCIALLY it takes a TURN. the game has TURNS the same way combat has rounds.

if you make a dungeon that relies on 'passing a check' to continue, that's just absolutely stupid (looking at you, Hoard of the Dragon Queen).

>I think it would be cool to have an option for people that don't want to trawl through message boards for builds or have exhaustive knowledge of 20 different books to not feel like a gimp next to those people that do that stuff.
If the problem is char-op, then either prebuilt characters with their whole 1 to 20 choices pre-made, or even better in my opinion a simple very limited pool of curated options so that the person can make some choices.
You could even group it by themes or roles or whatever.

>>97338861
I really don't understand this mindset. There are pregen characters all over the source material.
Just pick a high level NPC and there is your decent build if you don't want to do it yourself.
why restrict the entire group and game instead. These games are meant to last years. An intimidated newbie today, in 3 years of playing might want to start branching out.

And others have said that he'd just railroad people and shut down any ideas that weren't part of his plot, and treated all players with contempt, as if they were trying to ruin his game.

He has also freely admitted that he doesn't use his own rules as written, yet refuses to update to a 2nd edition because "It's not needed/is perfect the way it is".

>>97344792
I mean Kevin is a well known paranoid idiot.

But he was afraid Paramount would steal the characters he literally can't use in any other setting except for Ninja Turtles.

are the following ruling for a card game good or they're too unfair or silly?
>you can destroy a card in the other player's mana zone ( so he has less mana)
and

Yeah, he might be a little ugly from the front, but I like him nevertheless. The janky look kinda works since he's going to be serving as my daemon prince. Maybe the rider is actually the daemon prince, or maybe it's the chimera or the heavy bolter. Who knows? I just hope daemon princes are fun, I've been getting a little bit bored of the games I play always revolving around my chaos warrior death star and the characters I stuff into it. Regardless, we'll just have to see. I'll have to give him a proper name first.

No, it's not. That's not true for the canon example of Scarlet Whisper serving the Perfect of Paragon, nor for the other canon example of the Guild employing Dragon-Blooded mercenaries, nor for Dragon-Blooded mercenaries in general, nor for any less canon, table-specific takes on the idea.

>>97344193
Bitch you do not speak for all the fuckass brinkmanship I've seen at individual tables. It's why I hate it more than WW's usual shitty NPCs

>>97344226
Alright, fine, I'll admit that saying that it's not truer for any table ever was an exaggeration. Since claiming that it's "always joined to some petty smear against whatever exalt type" was even more of an exaggeration, though, I don't think you should complain.

>>97339438
I think one of the old devs just really like Promethean and wanted to shoehorn them into Exalted. I don't hate the Liminals' design space or the idea of a death-themed terrestrial-tier exalt in principle, but I think the Liminals are pretty lame. They would be more interesting if they were just some unique kind of monster instead of another exalt type.

There's such a thing as being a dragon patron.

You have bigger fish to fry than doing government work, but you're the strongest thing around.

So you install yourself as a figurehead, and tell them not to bother you unless you need to stab someone.

Occasionally you ask some of the peasants if there's a corruption problem or shockingly incompetent leadership. If they say yes, you stab a few officials until the problem resolves.

The Imperials will simply be able to respond better, in kind. The logistics will be vastly increased across the board.

most rebellions are because of chaos. if the Imperium cuts out Warp travel, that cripples and starves chaos
