It worked pretty well. How we worked it was, I calculate my to hit score first (say, mid range, pilot skill 4 and he's in the open with a TN of 1 for 7) then I roll a number of dice equal to my damage output (let's say a Grasshopper with 4) and I roll those dice alongside a single pilot dice that's a different colour. Each of those individual dice plus the pilot dice that roll the target number do a point of damage.
It also means that I could seperate out the SRM dice for the Tandem Charges, although my opponent said I didn't strictly need to do that, but I felt like it would make sense to do it that way.

So, it's still a single dice roll, but the damage is now a lot more granular. Although I will admit the free luck rerolls you get by having a battle-lance definitely came in handy more than once.

While Halta didn't need to be as big as it was, I'd still prefer it if it were one of the larger countries in Creation, with the main thing holding it back being a lack of high quality metal equipment for their massive army and absolutely abysmal ability to project their forces far beyond their border because they're too used to living in trees. Linowa is competitive do to Halta's logistical problems and superior warriors and equipment.

>>97386889
The area marked on that map would still make Halta one of the larger countries. Cutting its population down to 10% of 1E/2E numbers would still leave it one of the larger nations population-wise, too - not one of the absolute largest, but large by Age of Sorrows standards.

>>97386971
I'd say it's more medium size. It should at least be a little bigger than Iscomay.

>>97387006
It's definitely more than medium size in a world mostly consisting of city-states and petty kingdoms. Why does Halta need to be larger than Iscomay, though? Iscomay's one of the larger and more powerful nations, too, a significant regional power, not a run-of-the-mill Threshold kingdom.

>played Daggerheart and GURPS and had fun with both
That's surprising. I've never heard of someone who's liked both games. Usually, it's one or neither.

>>97383539
Nta and i don't like Daggerheart (too gimmicky and too specifically set to its flavor of fantasy) but for the matter, like that anon, i do like games that are supposedly antithetical like gurps and prime time adventures for example.

>>97376611
>t. has never been stabbed
Dagger should be d12 at least.

>>97376717
I like how GURPS, in a way, has both weapons that favor STR or DEX, but it's more subtle.
Big weapons like great axes favor STR because they have higher higher STR requirements, often inflict Swing damage (which gets better damage-scaling than Thrust), and high STR often goes hand-in-hand with higher HP and encumbrance; so you can afford a somewhat lower weapon skill (almost all physical skills are based on DEX), and just go on All-Out Attack for a to-hit bonus, relying on your high HP and heay armor to protect you. Bigger weapons also get longer reach, which means shorter-reach opponents will have to take a penalty to attack and/or defenses if they want to get close to you and hit you on the same turn.
Small weapons like daggers favor DEX because they have low STR requirements, often inflict Thrust damage (which gets worse damage-scaling, so high STR is less effective), but often inflict Impaling damage which can target armor gaps and vulnerable hit locations like the eyes and vitals. These attack options get huge damage multipliers, but also come with huge attack penalties, so having high skill is favored. Also, since you won't have as much HP or armor as beefier fighters, you'll have to rely on dodging and parrying to stay alive, which also favor high skill.
But it's not totally one way or the other. You can make a beefy dagger fighter (especially with grappling, like >>97383277) or an agile barbarian warrior. Unlike many other systems I've played, it pays to be a balance of strong and skilled; you don't have to be just one or the other. It's realistic and intuitive, and I like that.

No.

There a few spin offs.

The Nightmares Underneath is an OSR game with a middle-eastern (mainly Persian) theme.

>>97370156

Yeah there's a couple in the 90's for a bunch of different lines.

Then someone decided having fun with slightly stereotypical versions of
historical cultures is only okay if they're European.

>>97384813
Came here to mention this, but also that it doesn't really go hard into it, just has a light gesture towards the concepts but no depthful world building around middle eastern stuff. The dungeon heart mechanics are generic, the various downtime moves are generic, its lightly flavoured orientalist but meh.

My lgs has a bunch of pile of popsicle sticks tier terrain and then everything that has effort put into it is obvious warhammer terrain, kind of a shame. I'm working on my own collection and it's not bad but it's not cohesive at all and I still don't have enough to play a really dense game like frostgrave.

Reality is so shit. One side usually just blows out the other, instead of relativitely fair fights happening.

What are things you do that are "not" canon in the mini painting meta?
Mine is picrel
>Prime the sprue
Much easier for me to spray prime on a 2d "sheet" of sprue than a 3d mini. I just scrape off the paint to glue the pieces. Mould lines are scraped off. I dont re prime over them since they're just thin lines.
>Prime white for black
Pic rel will be my Black Templars, and I always prime white to paint black, that way my eyes know where exactly I've painted.

As an additional GURPS source, Pyramid 3/87 (page 17) gives slaves an approximate value of $21,000/slave, which is about $350/month by the "5 years of full time pay" metric.

This feels really expensive. I remember GURPS: Aztecs pricing it at:
>Household Slave: $1,000
>Without faults, able to sing and dance well: $4,000
And half that in the countryside.

>>97383322
It's genuinely crazy what you can accomplish with a group of friends willing to talk things out. The other day I mentioned to another GM that I currently had a space marine mixed in with my RT party without problem and he simply couldn't wrap his head around the idea that it worked because... the actual, real world person was trustworthy and onboard with the party dynamic. He liked the idea of playing a circumspect guy somewhat uncomfortable with the regular human camaraderie, and for whom the idea of threatening or intimidating his allies just didn't connect - why would he need to state or imply something that was so painfully obvious? The other GM just couldn't accept that it could be done by any other way than harsh rulings from on high, which is sadly the default of most GMs I've met.

>>97381536
That is utterly fucked up, man. What the hell was even the draw for it to them? Did they want to be primarysue marines or something? There's nothing else post-rift that would even affect the game, even if they wanted to play in dark imperium you can just localize it to somewhere in way the fuck away boonies beyond the Astronomican's light. These places exist, we know they do - they're the only reason Macharius' crusade stalled out.
>>97383983
Not quite so. The issue is that they've done such a great job abandoning everything 40k used to be in exchange for mass-market appeal that the majority is now composed of people who heard about it on tiktok and never bothered to learn what a Rogue Trader is - and of those people, the ones who want to learn more look first to the Heresy series, which is a steaming pile of dogshit.

>>97384894
>Are there comic books, dramas, or whatever
In the 41st millennium, most marine-related info comes in the form of scripture, propaganda, state-sanctioned histories, legends, and the occasional memorial. In 30k, the remembrancer order had a variety of different artistic types producing works to glorify the Legions--historians, photographers, playwrights, poets, composers, architects, sculptors, painters, and even a comic book artist (see Fear to Tread).

Different Chapters also interact differently with the common people. Some might be distant and aloof sky warriors who only show up to abduct the most worthy warriors of the local tribes every few years. Some might be actively involved in their home realm's communities and governance.

>>97384894
The difficulty of travel ensures almost all culture is local. One world will have mysterious legends about giant steel warriors driven by the Emperor's will, while another will have a long running cartoons with its own line of blessed funko-pops to collect. And neither will be at all accurate.

>>97384894
It comes down to the individual planet in question. Feral and medieval worlds will probably understand Space Marines as angels or the like, told to them by Missionaries. Joining the Guard is akin to going to Valhalla. Likely they will not know what a SoB is, unless they are actually on the planet. For more advanced worlds, these are all things that get disseminated through media, which is controlled by the Ministorum and acts primarily as propaganda vehicles. There's an understanding that being tithed to the Guard means joining the Imperium's army, and for most military types it's seen as an honor since it means your skills as a warrior and soldiers are recognized as being the best on the planet. Astartes are more likely to be thought of as just more elite soldiers of the Imperium, their actual practices probably will be mostly unknown. There are sometimes deals worked out between chapters and governors for protection and trade, and this makes them a much more mundane fact of life as you can bet the governor will brag about this in his propaganda. SoB will again be less understood, there's just less of them, they're not an order you can join, and how the Ecclesiarchy is organized on a planet is probably less penetrating than you'd think, your average Preacher most likely has no real connection to the organization. Most likely, the SoB will be thought of like Papal Swiss Guard, weird but not outrageous pomp and ritual, and armed guards for important people is just an accepted fact throughout the Imperium. The different divisions of their orders will be unknown.
