It was the players who fucked up. At any point they could have said something, tapped the proverbial X-card, asked to pump the brakes, just ask where he was going with it, etc. Instead they all just stared and gawked as Koebel giggled and grinned about how fucking epic this robot orgasm program was.

If we want to play devil's advocate, he should have read the room. He should have talked to the player before hand. He should have been aware that this was the wrong time and the wrong place to do such a thing. I'm not familiar with the rest of the campaign, but I find it hard to believe that at any time during the planning and then production of the show that any agreed to any sexual themes.

Given the way no one on the show said anything until twitter kicked up a shitstorm, I get the feeling that all the players decided to pull the ripcord and bail because the sharks were circling and Koebel was gonna get raked over the coals anyways. So they got the fuck out of there and pretended like it was because they were also so deeply, DEEPLY offended and disgusted by his heinous behavior. It wasn't that they were trying to avoid being dragged down with him. No no. It was that they were just so SHOOK by the whole thing that it took them a while to decide to quit. Smart decision too, since the cancel mob kept harassing Koebel until he vanished and got removed from numerous projects.

my day job is running a sculpting studio, so I'm more gauging if this market is worth even looking at or if it's already become saturated by many players. We have a few minis that wouldn't be out of place in TC, but haven't made anything expressly for it. Dipping our toes in the pond by making a single mini that could proxy for it isn't a bad idea though.

Thanks for the honest advice. I was afraid that would be the case but honestly looking at the Iron Sultanate stuff, I really like it. I do find Arabian Nights stuff doesnt sell super well as a theme due to nicheness, which is probably why it doesn't get much love. It's one of my favourite fantasy themes to make but always does shit.

Theres a few that dont have art or models still We dont know what the Black Grail Dirge faction is suppose to look like
>have been around since before modern wars, enemies of everyone, including hell, dont have beelzebubs blessings, actually use guns unlike base BG, names units as "executor" and "mourners" and "weepers" etc implying a funeral procession. Makes me think they are like Dark Souls hollows or something rather than straight up zombies.
And factions like Trench Pilgrim Cavalcade and Methodious dont have any art either
>Old testament. Wear blood as armour and follow the old ways and reject communicants, in return, their leader has the god hand. Everything about this faction revolves entirely around their leader being able to slap demons into dust without even using a weapon and getting gods blessings rather than relying on equipment.
>Methodious, nerds, focuses on mechs and guns of all things. Based in Greece at Mount Athos. Seem something along the lines of skitarii

Honestly, they would do well to add a little accompany book or resource for art of teh game and the factions with lore bits. Theres a lot of stuff that obviously doesnt fit into the rulebook but does exist.

You're welcome anon, unfortunately reality it's always less ideal than it should be, the other anon is right though, pick a centerpiece model and see if it sells well enough, maybe think about. I hope it works sculpt anon. Which studio is yours if you don't mind me asking?

To be fair, 5.14's character design space was fucked and Tasha's was a band-aid. Basically every class had 1 good subclass and 1 that was shit, plus a bunch of trap options.

Steampunk for GURPS is not a setting. Is more like a myriad of notes and suggestions to run a steampunk compaign but it really is fall flats for the American focus despite America being fairly irrelevant during the Victorian period. It also doesn't going in-deep about politics, geography or anything useful for worldbuilding. There's also a ridiculous section filled with machines. That said, the section about real historical characters is interesting.

Anyone familiar with burgerkrieg? I got recommended this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8p7lWV60Ic and I need some new long loredumps to kill time with. Is his stuff more or less accurate?

>>96511405
He’s a lore nerd by virtue of actually reading all the books yea

I listened to this at work and it was good stuff. He actually makes V5 sound interesting but that’s because he’s condensing everything actually interesting into his half hour bloc and interpreting it in the best way possible that actually leaves it vague enough for you to work with.

>>96511405

I'd just suggest you just watch videos about stuff you're knowledgeable to figure out if his accurate or not. For the most part he just seems to get an overview of the splat without going into great depth about what makes them work. It's good enough if you don't plan to actual read the books. Nothing i've seen him mention i'd called to be grossly inaccurate. Just keep his bias in mind when listening to him.

>I'm still struggling how to make Atlan edits, particularly with the aesthetic. Atlanteans are clearly ancient greece with some more fantastic elements, and I like to think New Mu look like ancient iberians or other prerroman peoples plus dinosaurs, but Atlan is more complicated. I ended up going with a mix of fantasy armor art plus some of the images of the atlan book, though I still don't know if it looks well enough.
You are feeling my pain. If there was one faction for which we could use an actual artist, it would be Atlan.
>>96507890
>I'm surprised at how good the walls look.
Me too! Made from gardening styrofoam, the material is very easy to crush so I was worried it would turn out like crap, but it cuts very neatly. Cut a 1$ block in 4, put an hex base from the models on it, and just traced an outline with a pen, just that already cuts through. In the end the irregular shape works for it I think. A single block should get you enough for a game (~24).
The rest is discounted aquarium plants from the vet.
>>96506384
Lore and flavour is still in debate, as for gameplay if you have an idea you'd like to pursue, simply mention it, post profiles, or even just give me a picture and some descriptive blurb and I'll come up with something.
All actionable knowledge I have on pre-modern Japan comes from Clavell's (the book and the 1980 series), Ruroni Kenshin and if we really stretch, Musashi, so I'd rather wait until some form of cohesion is reached from the various ideas instead of playing lore arbiter, which I don't really like doing anyways.

There are bits that could help to make a cohesive aesthetic, but they are difficult to show it through edits alone.

Here are a couple of ideas we could use to discuss how Atlan should look.

>>96349471
>One idea was Mystery Meat can gain Line Fire by testing awareness at the start of the turn.
The way Line Fire works right now, it is not really about setting up a line, you get a better bonus by clumping up 3 guys as close as possible, if you set up a line only one out of the 3 models get a bonus (the middle one). So, maybe you only roll for those who would be able to claim it at the start of the turn? (this would be that it would very much lock you in place).
Let me read back up on the current MM before I make a fool of myself commenting on the rest.
>>96349576
>Another thing i'd like to change is how Einnmannpackungs work.
Its much more flexible than the normal ration, it could be worth bumping its price to 3, but I don't necessarily see it as OP (at least, not in comparison to the standard set by Warm Meals being one of the best buffs available in game). I'm more worried about interactions between it and the telephone operator/wireless upgrades than them breaking the game entirely relatively to M/WM.
>>96349576
>The Vetterli is in the equipment but not on any models.
Will fix.
>>96349576
>Olm-Steeds somehow
The Violonist unlocks them as Beast models but not Mounts, that could be a trait for the Uhlan Captain? The Olm-Wyrm doesn't have a Mount profile, just the one found in the Olm-Men book. The Violonist may not be sufficient to unlock him because its a "get an additional 25 Silver, which can only be spent on ... " clause, the Olm-Wyrm is 50, if you can find a way to skirt the 1x Specialist limit (I don't think there's one in book, at least, maybe through some unforeseen Merc combo) and get it to 2, then you got your Wyrm.
Or, also, could be a trait.

Alright that's good, as much as I like samurai against cavemen, dinosaurs and ex-confederate reavers, in terms of *gameplay* I feel melee and maybe bows doesn't exactly give them a decent edge against groups that wield rotary guns, breechloaders, and artillery. we have the battle of nagashino as a pretty blatant example of how that goes, and bare in mind that was with unreliable rope-lit matchlock knock-offs of Portuguese design. As for reading recommendations, I suggest:

>Remembering Aizu: The Testament of Shiba Goro by Shiba Goro
This one is about the Aizu domain and what became of it due to siding with the Tokugawa shogunate, it's actually pretty fucked up and really evokes the type of tragic romanticism that the fall of the samurai class system wrought on a symbolic and societal level. The writer was only ten when all this shit went down and was a russo-japanese war veteran who served in the second world war as well.
>Ryoma Ga Yuku by Ryōtarō Shiba
Another book that's an account of a participant in the Boshin war, it really tells you what the state of the conflict was like on the ground for most involved.

>The Shogun's Last Samurai: The Life of Saigō Takamori by Mark Ravina
This one basically speaks for itself, it's a biography of the Satsuma domain's and Satchō Alliance's likely most skilled general. it also details the events leading up to his insurgency and rebellion.

>Japanese Armies 1868–1877: The Boshin War and Satsuma Rebellion (Men-at-Arms)

This basically details the equipment, structure and general information of Japan's military forces that are period relevant for Agartha.

>>96507885
I've come to imagine them as something that may be best described as "Byzantine Baroque". Generally, the higher up the ranks you go, the pricier the model, the more you move from Classical Greek to Spanish Baroque. The lore in the book is outdated, and a few of the images could use updating.
>>96510909
I'll make my own Atlan Inspiration Board maybe, get into some specifics. But, to quickly address some stuff here: The mesoamerican stuff was mostly dropped and the start of the Eternal War / split with Atlantis moved up to after the Conquistadors show up; there are no gunpower Atlan units.

>>96509742
>Feed all the other Servants to the Grail and claim it as your own.
So you have to actually kill each servant and if one is lost, for example due to their master getting eliminated, your run is bricked?

>>96511330
Maybe you can summon another or some other servant is worth extra like Gil.

I'd be a few more jumps in if I could find ones I like, with hot waifus and perks that fit my kinks. Or maybe I'm too picky. I'm the guy always begging for harem perks on these threads.

>>96511330
No. It goes like this
>Holy Grail Manifests
>7 servants summoned by thr Holy Grail, each servant gets a master who summons them and guides them
>When a servant dies, their spiritual energy and mana go into the grail
>When 6 servants die, the Holy Grail physically manifests
>Magi usually kill the 7th servant too by making them kill themselves so that the Grail will have more energy
>You take in the raw mana of the grail and you can make a wish if you know how to harness the mana and shape it to your will
>The issue, however, is that the Holy Grail is tainted with all of the world's evils, so if you use it, their will be massive backlash and maybe even an extinction level event
>Ergo the best course of action is actually to DESTORY the grail with a mountain busting attack
Now to answer your question about a master dying? If the master dies, and the servant is still alive, then the servant must find a new master to supply them with mana or a way to sustain themselves with their own mana. If they can do neither, then they will die, and their energy will go into the grail

>>96508505
>>96511330
Your run is NOT bricked but if you are not KILLING everyone you are not even TRYING.

About the same as the other factions but you have to meta game a lot more than the other factions. You have to be willing to take a loan and have an IMF intervention in order to get the other players to not take advantage of you. The IMF loans are the nuclear option that should be avoided by everyone but they hurt non-government players much more than government so you should hold your finger over the button.

>Favorite Eurogame?
Yokohama. Maybe Obsession.

>Favorite Ameritrash game?
Eldritch Horror

>Do you think the distinction matters these days?
No in so much as you prefer one over the other then you would want to know before you say you're willing to play or buy.

>Bonus question: Is there a designer you admire?
No but I do like Histogame. They've never done a bad game.

I understand varg is a successful musician and may be really good at that, but when it comes to like fiction and worldbuilding I think guys like Varg are too in love with existing tropes and genres to be actually good at those fields of art.

He loves existing forms and ideas too much so he's not going to be motivated to do anything particularly interesting with them. He just wants to replicate what he already likes.

Tolkien to take an example of someone often loved by this broad type of guy wasn't like this. "I want to write the equivalent of the Iliad for a world I made up for my elaborate conlangs to exist in, except the technology level and general world will be drawn from early midevil europe instead of ancient greece" was not a done to death set of ideas.

Varg just loves a certain combination of fantasy tropes and historical romanticism he has already seen and just wants to do them again. At most the innovation is to filter out whatever doesn't resonate with his precise personal autism and put all his favourite tropes densely side by side. Its more like being a collector than an artist. Its actually a mindset very suitable to like wargaming, cause you can just pick "your guys" from the setting or history and its fully in the spirit of the thing to just replicate your idea of them. "I'm painting a christian force from the first crusade" benefits from and will be more enjoyable the more awed and obsessed you are with that thing or a certain idea of it, there's no reason to try and develop on the concept if you don't want to.

>hyperborea

I mean, there's already a hyperborea game that is 'based' on adnd1e and features a lot of the fantasy racism (subraces that are inferior, women getting raped and such in the modules) im not sure why this lo-rent slop needs to exist.
