Writing General: 'festive' edition

Welcome to /wg/, the thread for all /tg/ related writing. Whether you're plotting your campaign, trying to come up with a character backstory, or just trying to write some setting fluff, this is the place to post it. You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.

As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here. We also have flash-fiction challenges from time to time.

There's a discord for writers here
https://discord.gg/6AwKHGF

The previous thread can still be found in the archive here
>>96644454

And finally an archive of /tg/ fiction can be found here:

Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.

I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsing


So I started thinking.
For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?

Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?

There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?

What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory?

What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.

The idea is cool, in the same way motion controls are.
They COULD actually improve a real life skill, but that means at least minor physical exertion. Given the mindset of most people in Tabaletop games, it's going to fail.

If I wanted to improve myself I wouldn't be playing a tabletop game. They are leisure. And trying to sneak in actual effort, be it ever so trivial, will result in disappointment.

I know everyone here is gigachad, but be honest for a second and look at the average tabletop gamer. If they had even the slightest will to change they would've long ago.

The thread was about other people bringing other systems that are like this.

Certain social engineering options are hard-locked for certain factions, no? Lal can't use Police State, Zakharov can't use Fundamentalist, etc. unless there is a late-game option I'm not remembering.

>>97246921
In the base game, maybe, but Alien Crossfire implies that "the Flowering" has a potent psychic component that can reach across interstellar distances. So it is possible that simply moving into orbit, or even fleeing to a nearby star, would not be enough.
Alien Crossfire is pretty weird, though.

You're right, there are aversions each faction has to the early game choices like free market or police state. The later game options are more open.

A game that lets you shift scale between marco strategic/political and operational agents could be neat, been meaning to check out the new Dune game for that.

The clones are chickens. Not for eating. Just for mass production fodder. Could be alluding to several things.

>>97248116
I believe it's male chicks being sorted for maceration, which they do in factory farming because they don't need them for anything.

It's pretty easy to see they're suggesting a hardcore eugenics program using cloning to fill in the gaps left by euthasia/sterilization of lesser people. The Spartans Santiago leads named themselves after a Greek tribe who were famous for committing infanticide, disposing of sickly or malformed children at birth.

Moloch's Fun Park 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 not
TC 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.

I saw some Napoleonic stuff and felt inspired.
If I made a dirge warband would it be pushing the boat out of I made it Napoleonic themed? Like the leader is a undead general on a horse, etc, since dirge actually is allowed to give zombies guns and they even get a "canon" it seems like it could be fun to make for, but is it too far off the setting of the game?
