Holiday cheer editionPrevious:>>97223714Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/h8Tz2ze8Survey results: https://pastebin.com/YJPZ44rqSeasonal TQ:>How do you deal with friends&family absolutely resistent to any form of game teach?>Will anon repeat his autistic data gathering endevour this year?Actually interesting TQ:>How important is winning to you? Almost noone is a mustwin-tourneyfag, but we all tend to like games we are good at more, conciously or subconciously.
>>97271454I didn't say that the market saturation is the only reason, but it is by far the biggest, and everything else is just sad quibbles around pet peeves. There is no monolithic board game culture anymore and it's not coming back, whining about how it used to be and not even noticing this fact is just sad.>do you think there will be the same amount of games from that period still played in 10+ years?Proportionally, less and less so, for reasons already mentioned. But I don't see any particular reason why this decade is so much worse that this is some kind of specific breaking point. Plenty of good games are being released nowadays, my advice is to wait a year or two for the wheat to be separated from the chaff if you're the type to whine about quality.>>97271475>shit games being at the top of the list is good because muh preferencesShiteater.
>>97272303cool, now i know more games, and can take back my earlier, erronious comment
>>97272096It's mostly 1 or 2 hours, once it went longer due to inexperience and autism. Are my parameters for a long game controversial?>>97272165It's good information but very few people can usefully absorb all of it before they've ever played the game. Luckily those people tend to separate themselves out over time.
>>97272359>old games are bad because I said sostop whining
>>97272423Absolutely based and positivitypilled
how did you explain having literal blue human women in your scifi setting?
>>97259986>"Because it's my game Anon!, if I want to have a game with encounters with sexy alien space bitches in it then I will, I give zero shit about your fucking chudhammer memes you keep parroting off on with those old quotes over and over again.......also your character sheet is shit by the way"
I just put a sexy *red* space babe in your blue alien thread.What the fuck you gonna do about it OP bitch?
>>97259986>Nooo you can't have humanoid aliens/fantasy races!Yes I can because humans and all other life on earth evolved from a common ancestor to the great panspermia of this region of the galaxy. People from alpha centauri looked eerily human to us, and we look eerily centauran to them. Ancient settlers found both planets billions of years ago and created life, which tends to evolve in the same direction based on the genetic code implanted by the biggest lifeseed corporations.
>>97259986They evolved from horseshoe crabs and their blood contains hemocyanins in the oxygen-transporting cells. Their blood is blue, their cells are blue, and even the skin pigmentation has various shades of blue.
It just werks

Nanny McPhee seems like an interesting concept for a Mage how can I pull of the Ugly becoming beautiful schtick when teaching lessons?
>>97272475Well, most people would take that trade. Especially if you ask a normie, slavery but the cool paranormal one is probably something they'd like if it came with super powers instead of just manual labor. Yeah, most ghouls are kind of treated like shit except for I suppose high value Ventrue/Toreador/Nosferatu ghouls. Tzimisce Revenant families and I suppose Salubri are also treated well. Maybe Sabbat Brujah?Bigger question is whether you'd rather be kinfolk or a poorly treated ghoul.
That Gravity Falls Hunter/Changeling game sounds cool, wonder how that one's going to plan out. Guessing Fae bullshit primarily?>>97272447It would be pretty crazy stuff for a hunter group. Maybe high level Fomori?

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.

>>97271113Bro shut the fuck up already. Give it an actual rest you gutter sucking knuckle dragging fuck. The game barely has been out.
>>97271058I'm not going to sugarcoat it, vanilla IS together with Fidai are two of the worst warbands from a power perspective. So you're going to struggle against pretty everything unless your opponents are leaning heavily into vibes/rule of cool with their warbands. Even then those types of units in HL/Prussians are likely to outperform most of your stuff anyway.
>>97271317U mad?
>>97270898In ideal circumstances, your sniper is ignoring armour about 1/3rd of the time. This is wildly unreliable. Remember, New Antioch is a CQC faction, so the bulk of your faction's damage is going to be done in a 1-2 round period - if you need AP, then a 1 in 3 chance of ignoring armour is just not available enough.Instead, you should give the sniper priest an auto rifle or SMG so they can stack blood reliably and kill soft targets quickly. Or you do the based thing and give the priest either 2 pistols and grenades or an autopistol and a pistol, which lets your priest be one of New Antioch's best melee units (since pistols act as clubs that use ranged +dice).Sniper rifles are for models with middling shooting stats. Going from +4d to +5d on a sniper priest is a joke. Going from +0d to +1d and getting double the short range bracket on a rifle Yeoman is legitimately good.
>>97271734I know they are at the bottom, found that out when I got btfo'd the first campaign by game 8 out of 11.My primary issue was that I didn't have enough gunz and modelz to force injuries early on when a jezzail with alch. ammo was at peak performance. I lost the first 2 games badly; in one, both my bull and alchemist were OoA before even INJURING an enemy model. By then, I was so far behind, and other armies so far ahead, that catch up was improbable, and I was forced to use lions and absurd weight of fire to win objectives and force draws. I haven't gotten so fucked over since... well, it's been a long time since I felt genuinely hapless.My new plan is to maximize my weight of fire advantage early while planning for later acquisitions. I am hoping for 2-3 glorious curbstomps to accrue ducats/glory to hopefully stay one step ahead of the others, and when they do catch up, break even by dint of early success.

>>97227092Here is the rest of the DBees. This batch was super scuffed but I got the Harune eyes, which I think is a good thing. Thanks to the anon who posted that Staphra pdf god knows how long ago. I had to dig that up....How many DBees are basically green people or lizard people?
>>97269646Yeah, that is pretty damn cringe. It reminds me of Washington cities who had to put BLM signs on their windows to hope to avoid antifa smashing their stores or homes. I see see those signs up and I still think they are living in fear.I think it's pretty pathetic. Both in that the threat of these things needing to be put in ttrpgs turned out to be toothless threats and that how these writers rolled over for the softest representation of terrorism.
>>97270172Id like to belive Kevin wouldn't put that in a final version. Hes never been anti cop or military so I doubt it would make the final edit.Its a product of its time, that raw came out during the blm shit if I remember right so likely as I said it was some reddit queer hastly added it to his write up before submitting it.
>>97270057>Written by Mark Oberlehttps://rpggeek.com/rpgdesigner/18242/mark-oberleHe's written books for Palladium before but he seems to work in psychology, which is a very left-wing field even by the standards of academia. But the biggest problem with that Lazlo script isn't that it's got a small pro-BLM blurb in it; it's that it's incredibly boring. Reading the parts on law and order is mind-numbing. Lazlo is just too much of a boring goody-two-shoes lefty-liberal place so unless they spice it up with something really unique and interesting it's the last place players, or GMs, want to go. I suspect that's what is holding back the book release. Kevin looked at the manuscript and said "Where's the adventure?"
>>97270129>How many DBees are basically green people or lizard people?Half of them? I dunno, most d-bee illustrations have been B&W with only the RCC describing coloration but I only remember things visually so it's kind of random for me. I always thought Grackletooths were yellow, for example. It wasn't until Savage Rifts that we got color illustrations for a lot of things. Nice work on the tokens, riftsbro.

>>97272604Magic genuinely has the shittiest cast of any long term western IP. Do you ever think about how this franchise is 30 years old and lacks almost any interesting or likable characters?

>>97272377I feel like for gameplay purposes IJJ + Partial Wing does the job
>>97270222With the way wheel rules work they are good only on below 10 ton mechs. So if you get some Heavy Gears imported with Fuel Cells or Ice engines you can have Alt-Protomechs that go from 3/5 walking to 7/11 riding around.
Is there a required location for each member of a BA squad attached to a mech?> CTfront -> RTfront -> LTfront -> CTrear ...etcOr can I decide, of a 4 member squad, I want two on the RT front and rear, 1 on CT rear, and 1 on LT rear? Can they shift positions while embarked or do they have to disembark and then re-embark to get a different arrangement?

Where do people actually go to buy gameplay content these days? I used to buy things like echoes of death and 19th anniversary survivors/white speaker cards off ebay, but they've basically disappeared now. I want to buy indomitable resources/gear from the white boxes for the pre GCE stuff.
How many level 3+ monsters do y'all actually hunt? I'm realizing this is the first time I've ever actually hunted a level 3 screaming antelope, and I can't thinking of any others I actually hunted other than sunstalker, dragon king, and DBK.

>>97272367i was planning on finishing few armies that need just 2-5 models also raise my game count from 0-1 to atleast 1-3 per year
well fuck I might have just damaged my airbrush. dropped it off the table while cleaning it last night and the clamping screw for the needle partially tore off and bent the clamp for the needle. i had to bend back the end to have enough room for the needle to slide back in. hopefully it will still work.

>>97271688Yeah, and those games don't require nearly the amount of effort it would take to produce TD. No company is likely to adapt it on the off chance it does well when they can pay a fraction of the cost for something that will sell more.
>>97271951I miss when people here played Sakura Arms and other imports instead of being incredibly ignorant about card and board games like you are.
>>97272247>Sakura ArmsIs A) significantly simpler and therefore approachable; B) significantly cheaper. One of either Blaze or Phantom costs at retailer price twice as much a one of SA's three boxes costs a customer. And that's before you factor in taxes and tariffs or needing to share the profits. Trinity would have to be sold at around $70 / $150 and I doubt any company will take that gamble.

>>97271989That's where all the fun comes in, though
>>97271989Where did anyone ask?
>the option to wait until new years to fight the final boss in FGO gives you the same retcon endingDefinitely including a toggle to get a more reasonable ending instead. Sasuga nasu.
>>97272310I never understood why people expected that to be the reason we would have had a different ending, it was pretty explicit it was just Maris breaking you down and making you let her do her plan, wich was immediately after opposed by Olga giving you back fighting spirit.Anyway I'm expecting a new scenario? Interesting, and thank you for your work.
>>97272310It really is a shitty thing. But lets see if anything changes in the coming months. At least Lord Logress is BS powerful. Love the new Excalibur Excelsior.
