So my DND group was kind of disolving, 2 out of the 4 players left because of life issues (one got a job abroad and the other one is dealing with life), to keep playing we incorporated 2 new players with not so much experience but avid watchers of Critical Role.One of these player conditions was that we incorporate x cards to the game, she says that it makes it much more comfortable for her to know she can avoid unpleasant story elements having this tool. I started to read a bit about it online and is this something you guys have used? In my 20 years playing I've never used this.

>>97365768'Triggers' not just being things that'll send you into a panic attack at the mention of them, but also things that'll send you off on a rant, that you consider too important to joke about or parody, shit like that.Most people don't have ptsd, but most people have something they feel strongly about, enough to get worked up over. One of mine is the unironic championing of anti-intellectualism as anything more than moral degeneracy. A Dwarf might be triggered by the mention of Elves occupying his ancestral family mine.Avoiding 'triggering' your players, and thus ruining their experience for the night by bringing up something that distracting, is just good GM practice.
>>97368437Well I may be mistaken, if >>97366234 is accurate, then they may be intended for quick sit down convention games instead.
>>9736846780 is way too generous, anon.
>>97368499That’s not a trigger, that’s just a personal gripe that one can’t let go of, like when someone’s racist uncle refuses to stop ranting about immigrants even after being asked to reign it in for thanksgiving. There is a point to be made about not intentionally antagonizing people with subjects they feel strongly about, but most of those people who demand you respect their boundaries tend to downplay everyone else’s, so I get very incredulous about those sorts.
It's pic related. Peter Jackson tried to copy Blix's swag for a good reason

What's the consensus on the new LOTR ruleset? Better or worse than the old stuff? I own the old rulesets from the LOTR and TTT boxsets, but never got the updated compendium, so I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the new book.

>>97362973I love the skelly-diver sword
>>97283745In a word, Yes.I play almost exclusively with original cast lead figures from the 1980s (Except for the ones I've sculpted and cast myself), and I run my games (usually Realm of Chaos) from the original printed books.It is not always possible to find everything needed to run a game from the appropriate vintage, in which case some substitutes are unavoidable, but it is best to TRY to keep to the original materials whenever possible, or failing that modern reproductions in the style of those better days. Anything made with a computer is just not as good, you can feel the difference in your hand. Cast metal miniatures will ALWAYS be better than 3d prints, on both an aesthetic and technical level. I will always prefer artwork created by hand to anything made with software and computers, the machine just sucks the soul right out of it.I encourage my friends I play with to do the same, but I understand it takes a certain dedication that not everybody has so a couple years ago I started branching out my collection to include figures that my friends would often want to use, or monsters and creatures we might face in encounters & scenarios.I do not feel the need to track down original 1980s GW paints because A. They are a perishable commodity unlike metal miniatures which can more reasonably be expected to survive the decades, and B. GW has hardly changed or improved their paint formula at all in the past forty odd years, they've just steadily deteriorated the quality of the packaging and branding.I am not a hypocrite, but I am absolutely a Luddite, a Neo-Luddite if you will. I've tried it both ways and I can safely say from personal experience that the game is much more satisfying when played this way.

>>97368350Anime was geared towards kids while Vanguard had mostly teen demographics / plot elements.Even then Buddyfight still had some deep themes in the plot, but not often they were elaborated on.
>start watching vanguard >the power of imagination~So the first series is just schizophrenia: the card game

>>97360797There's also that manga that's basically Underwater Ray Romano but also toxic yuri.
>>97355371there definitely is hyper advanced precursor tech in dying earth (including one Evil AI story, if memory serves) but most of the magic is actual magic.I think OP is thinking more like Gene Wolfe or Linda Nagata where all the mysterious forces are just the compounded wreckage of a thousand previous technological civilizations.
>>97353409To be fair in Wolfe's case it was more like "it actually was clearly scifi all along and you couldn't understand it".At least I THINK so. Man, those were some good books, but not the easiest.

>>97355750The reason for the looming human extinction in Dying Earth is that the sun is at the end of its life span. CRISPR won't help.
Necromancy 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.

>>97368408It's a while away, the game still has to get on it's legs with the rest of the lore and minis, but I think it would be cool. It just be Horus Heresy but for TC maybe different rules and weapons depending on the time period
>>97365909Man the way they did the weapon upgrades is so fucking low effort it's crazy
>>97368535everything about slop crusade is low effort
>>97368535There are weapon upgrades?
>>97368739yeah and they're just weapons with no hands so if you want to change weapons you either have to do surgery on a printed model and try to cut the weapons out or merge the models manually using software
How does it stack up against Gammaworld and GeneStorm?
>>97368569Don't know anything about it but if its about furry removal death squads I'm all for it.

>>97368510I mean, I approve wargaming with some light RP, I think it can be neat, we're running OSE as a Mount & Blade game right now. I just don't do that when it comes to dungeon crawling, we use overland is for wargames, and underworld or towns is for exploration.
>>97367598Buy a pack of opaque(black ideally) gift tissue paper and lay sections of it over rooms. Cut them to size if you want to cover things a bit more neatly, reuse slim cuts for halls. Works on flat and 3D maps.Costs maybe $10 so there's no excuse.
>>97367637I see a cool 80's citadel giant spider there on the left. love that model.
>>97368670Sorry I hit the nail on the head
I've found from the grapevine that Jes Goodwin is soon to retire from Games WorkshopHe really is the king. His concept sketches and absolutely timeless work on mk7 Space Marines and the Eldar particularly are worthy of the highest praise.His influence will be sorely missed, though with how miniatures are often 3+ years in the pipeline before being seen on shelves, his legacy will continue.
>>97367399TC's got some big names orbiting it, and is the personal project of a couple big names themselves. A good number of them either being involved at GW, or interested in the vibes. Even if he's not into the weird WW1 vibe so much, I can kinda see him falling into the orbit a little, just because a bunch of the other old heads kinda did.I mean, Jes did a lot of Eldar stuff, but his design and art was pretty instrumental to a lot of 40k overall.Still, wherever he goes, even if it's just off into the vagaries of the Webway, all one can hope is he enjoys himself.
>>97362125Shut the fuck up faggot
>>97361569he's made some amazing art, writing and models but he's also made some absolutely dog shit stuff as well. remember that everything bad in the first 5 years is primarislop is 100% certified goodwin.I think he is a great artist and nerd and cool person, but GW will survive and even thrive without him, and I think some of the worst shit in the last 10 years came from him.
>>97365649why would someone leave a high tier, grandfathered position in the most successful company in the entire industry to retire at a startup that lost half its userbase goodwill and is already declining in popularity? I swear, you guys need to get off the Internet for a while and interact with real life
>>97368218>>97368484Face the truth, kids.
Do you include seasonal changes in your campaigns when time goes by?If so, what do you implement int the world to showcase the changing seasons?I personally include sea raiders who begin assaults on the kingdom's shores in spring and through summer, who then return to their homeland in fall to winter it out. So essentially a raiding season for my world's vikings, like in real history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWc0DvoY6qw
>>97276413Even fucking Mars has seasons
>>97335774I used to roll up planets with GURPS Space for fun, and even the marginally habitable ones were absolute hellworlds.I can't find my notes right now, but one was basically only liveable at the equator and it was so hot (water planet with primitive algae producing oxygen) and the axial tilt so massive that any change of seasons would probably bring insane storms. I figured the inhabitants would probably live in above ground bunkers you could raise with hydraulics in case of flooding
>>97361165Please try to understand, poor Wilbur knows very little about anything. It's why he seethes so.
In my current campaign the rainy autumn weather is actually an important "plot point", since it allows vampires to move relatively freely at day. My players have not yet noticed this.
>>97368344Probably because rainy weather should do the opposite. Potential for flowing water, which vampires can't cross.
About a decade ago we got a rumour that the Primarchs would come back (before it actually started happening).Part of that rumour was that one loyalist would turn traitor and one traitor would become a loyalist.So who's it gonna be?Picture potentially related, Angron for ants.
>>97366030>for antshttps://kheljay.artstation.com/projects/BmDNxk
>>97366030If the Emperor couldn't fix Angron's brain damage during the Heresy when it was "just" the Nails fucking it all up, how's he going to fix Angron now that it's Nails, 10,000 years of further erosion, and Khorne wearing the boy like a Warp-stuffed sock puppet this whole time?
>>97366030russ going chaos would actually be cool and interesting but that's too much change for snorehammer. in reality it would be some random irrelevant primarch nobody gives a fuck about and them turning traitor would make zero difference to the setting outside of its contained novel
>>97368604destroy the physical body and remake him from scratch. primarch souls are already all minor warp deities, emperor could just send them back to the warp and remake them like they were made the first time
>>97366030>about a decade agoAbout a decade ago was 2016 which meant that Gathering Storm had already gone to press and the Triumvirate of the Primarch was already sitting in warehouse ready for distribution. Predicting that the Primarchs were coming back was no prediction at all, as people had already seen Guilliman and the renders of Mortarion leaked right after. We knew about the whole Primaris relaunch a year in advance because someone posted a picture of the Dark Imperium Intercessor Sergeant on his workbench as soon as he got the box.The Primarch faction swap has always been one of those wild rumors that bad actors like Rob Baer throw in with more verifiable content because it drives clicks to their websites and monetized social channels. People see the headline and say, "wow! Really?" and give them free views. It's not going to happen, it was never going to happen and anyone that says it's going to happen is either misinformed or intentionally misinforming you and here's why:Space Marine players collect Space Marine models and Chaos Space Marine players collect Chaos Space Marine models. These ranges have established identities and fill established niches within the broader product lineup of Warhammer 40,000, and Games Workshop - famously risk-averse Games Workshop - is not going to upset the apple cart by completely invalidating an entire range of models (much less two) by saying, "these evil marauders are good guys now," or, "these paragons of virtue have fallen to vice!" They couldn't even bring themselves to invalidate old Space Marines with new Space Marines.This is the same company that couldn't even commit to exonerating Cypher. These same allegiance swap rumors dogged Lion El'Jonson for years until he was finally released and, oh, shocker, it turns out he was always the goodest of good guys and never even had a hint of disloyalty. They're not going to bring back Leman Russ as a Chaos wolfman or Sanguinius as a Daemon Prince of Khorne.

>>97368577Yeah I recognized it from the stormfiends, but didn't know it was more widely used before the refresh. Is it like a specific clan's colour or something? I know next to nothing about skaven fluff.
>>97368630And yet flopposter perseveres.
>>97368639i don't think any specific clan has that color scheme, which might be intentionalclan mors (and now verminus) has red as a major colorthe blue on the other hand doesn't really have any clan affiliation although the most notable example would be ikit claw of clan skryre, but their colors tend to be more green and tan
>>97368639>specific clan's colour or somethingskaven never quite stuck to specific colour schemes for specific clans, there was an attempt with the uniforms&heraldry book, but at the end of the day people never followed that, the clans just become evident from your selection of units and that's it
