>>97364525I don't know man those new AH LCG cards are looking some type of way.
>>97366784Yeah I wondered about that, too. The 3x3s seem WAY different than before
>>97367086>Doesn't it usually say what is in the deluxe version?I got a free upgrade, didn't really check. I way just puzzled why people would pay twice the price of an already overpriced game (€80 for "classic special edition" aka the reprint) for barely anything. I mean I'm not complaining, the wooden gates are pretty cool and screenprinted anything is great, but it seemed so strange to me to upgrade 2out of basic resources for the deluxe edition and arbitrarily lock the third one behind yet another purchase. Really got me pondering what the fuck their plan is
>>97367641the reason is you can't really package metal coins inside the box. it would fuck up all the cheap plastic inserts during shippingalso the metal coins they sell are generic FeldCoin for use in all the city collection gamesreally everyone should just own one or two sets of metal coins and use them for all their games
>>97367443Yeah, crowdfunding unfortunately is one of those things that's great at first while everyone using it is from the old paradigm, but as its actual dynamics gradually become clear the thing just becomes more and more shit.
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.

Is it possible?I like scifi as a genre because all the new tech that show us, but in terms of aesthetics, always looks like shit.Do you know any scifi RPG with good aesthetics? Even if it's just concepts, draws or artworks.PD: If someone is going to say 40k, I admit it has cool things, but I don't find it pleasant.
>>97338463>TTRPGs aren't known for their Aesthstics because they're make-believe pretend games where all the visuals happen in your head for the most part.God I wish I had Phantasia ...
>>97347883Jesus Christ, ME looks so fucking good. Even the generic people in the lineup have subtle character to them and you can tell them apart quickly. In an era of schlocky space military games it really stood apart.

>>97364521Yeah it does actually, not him but the armor has a great aesthetic and everything else is at least instantly recognizable. As to whether it would be good for tabletop, I think no

>>97367145I've got the time finally, I had a ton of stuff, albeit good stuff that was keeping me from drawing for quite a while.

>>97366738Can we just agree this fucking game and setting is shit. The only thing it has is cool art but can't bother to make a half decent story around it, to the point they just say all the gayest woke talking points. From "no canon" to "Everyone has a point." Yeah the fucking demons and devil worshippers who want to rape, murder, and rape some more might have some good in them. (Even though to become part of the hell armys you have to see a hellgate and other will die if normal, be corrupted if evil or you're a holy warrior that can handle seeing that shit if I remember.) This is a classic Tumblr/Reddit knock off grimdark OC setting that just is the most basic bitch takes and has no idea how to make a setting and just gets off on gore, and cool heavy metal album cover art. Also makes the people of color and commies the only "good guys" in the setting for PC points and to push they're a "good person."

Long live the New Flesh!
It is probably not too controversial to say that the art of modern rulebooks is made with female representation in mind.These women are predominantly filling important roles, such as archmages, military officers, or nobles.But how come there is barely any art that shows them in peril, or at a clear disadvantage? Regardless of their status.There is no shortage of men in peril.Neither in classic nor in modern art.
>>97362635>the difference between "feeling that you ought to be given X" and "taking X" is semantics
>>97362740Yeah. They're different words and so they have different meanings, which communicates different idea. Semantics.

>>97360816Yeah, but that's the point of this, your mission is to prevent women from getting hurt.

It is the year 199X. Your friends have just sent you a text message to your Nokia 3210, saying they can't make tonight's D&D game.Which of these games do you play, to single-playerly experience that classic 'dungeon crawler' feel?

I know /tg/ had a pretty active Space Station 13 community way back in the days of yore, and now that the open-source modernized Space Station 14 is coming along nicely i was wondering if there is a SS14 /tg/ community kicking around. It would be fun to get stuck in with the old robust grey tide crowd again. Otherwise, general Space station 13/14 thread i guess.
I still listen to ss13 music from time to time. Takes me back. I iss it. Is this what getting old is like?

>>97367654I want to take over the world indeed, but hanging out with intelligent plants and other things is also a goal, one that can likely only be accomplished after world domination.

>>97367562>>97367572The setting uses this concept of animacy to blend the concepts of mind and matter.Just like a wave is not just the particles of water that happen to make it up at any particular point in time, but a persisting distinct entity, a nature spirit is more than the particular plant life it presides over.But at the same time, it's not a ghost that pops and exists seperately from those plants. It's like a presence within them.Can you tame water by killing a wave? I suppose you can, but you'd be removing the animating energy that you might have been interested in in the first place.Can you gain more water by stealing a wave? You'd just be stealing the water directly. In this analogy that'd mean uprooting all the plants and carrying them to your own territory.

>>97366962I usually get backed up to my board edge, while the cav goes to some flank and whiffs against something, or gets so chewed up it's no longer effective.My heroes seem kind of lackluster but I can try giving them some of the command corps and having them go do stuff. At least my battlemage is on a wagon>>97367157The steelhelms seem to fall too fast. And a reinforced brick with a marshall is nearly 500 points, to be fair that's probably cheaper than a lot of peoples' cav but it hasn't really made its points back for me yet. I feel like I never have great targets for it.
>>97367405Summer 2027 my friend. Though like >>97367410 alluded to, if tow gets bumped up like horus heresy was we end up with 4 major systems all on a 3 year cycle, which means they'll need to get creative. It seems like a lot of the playerbase would like a 4 year cycle instead, but I get the feeling gw's finance guys aren't so happy about that idea.
>>97366273So what? Are AoS Chorfs not allowed to be different than WFB Chorfs in this regard? Chaos battletomes are full of lore on slavery, slaves being used for building chaos monuments, slaves being sacrificed etc. Anon would have a point by pointing out there are no units named 'slaves' nowadays but now it's too late for that.
>>97367405Just play the superior edition instead. Wahapedia has all the 2nd edition rules so you don't even need to find books or fuck with erratas. If you feel frisky you can even play the 1st edition but that requires a bit more effort.
The eternal debate.

>>97317380>because artists like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift are super successful means music is at its perfection and does not need to go backThat's how retarded you sound

>>97317329We can never go back. They're drove off too many of the real fans. Like D&D, it will be better as a head on a pike as an example of what NOT to do.

>>97367555I think flaws are great, and they are best when their benefits are not combat related.Because like, >Flaw: LameYou received an injury in the past that never healed right. Your speed is reduced by 5ft, and you have disadvantage on acrobatics checks made to stay balanced.>boon: All smiles+2 to persuasion checks PB/day.
>>97367537>>97367541The best way to utilize Insomnia would be to take a Short Rest before taking a Long Rest, burn all your Hit Dice, and use as many spell slots or other healing features that recharge on a Long Rest to heal yourself to full or close to full. Then take your Long Rest, giving you back all your Slots and Hit Dice. In the worst case scenario, where you have no hit dice or spell slots before the long rest is completed, you simply complete the Long Rest, then take a Short Rest in the morning to expend and use hit dice. In that case, you'll have half-ish your remaining hit dice for the day- so it's not costless. Option B could be used if you're playing a PC who doesn't have any class features specifically that don't recharge on a Long Rest.Beastbane can be countered by not interacting with Beasts or having a good Animal Handling or Persuasion score. 7th Level Rogues get Reliable Talent and stop caring about this at that point.In both cases, I'd say that's worth the cost for: Lucky, Magic Initiate, Tough, Musician, or Alert.
>>97367555Personally, this was the worst/most debilitating one I found.
>>97367644Being middle-aged myself, this hits a touch too close.I actively remember being a little stronger, little faster, joint pain being virtually unknown. Cuts take a week to heal when they used to take a day or 2, could tell you the color, make and model of a car from a mile away.Phew.
>>97367644The insomnia one anon posted can just straight up kill you though

Are there any tabletop RPGs similar in style to the classic video game Baroque?
>>97364932... and yet it's still low quality spam thread
>>97364932>>97365668
>>97367138It's funny how sane that video makes it seem. The information in the game is delivered in a completely (and essentially random) different order, and you have to piece it together while eliminating the various lies. He is also only delivering one interpretation of one version of the game, built on information that's not in the game itself and its debatable how canon it is (especially since some of the information is contradicted in other versions and related media). He probably would have had to make a five hour long video if he really wanted a comprehensive examination of the basic "plot" and all its potential interpretations.I'm actually more familiar with the remake, which adds a lot of information in the game itself while making getting that information an incredibly convoluted process (that ultimately only delivers garbled bits of text that can never be fully trusted), and also adds a new ending, more floors/events, and rewrites certain characters. I think it's fair to say that Baroque is purposefully vague and ultimately inconsistent thanks to multiple people with shifting ideas over the nearly thirty years since the game began.I wish the video went a bit more into the more unique items/monsters/dungeon features. A lot of the game feels fairly basic and repetitive, but then it occasionally throws something at you that can completely rewrite how the game works. My favorite example of this is the Vampire Sword, an incredibly rare weapon that many people never even see in their playthroughs, which completely reworks how you can progress in power while only having a vague description of what it actually does.
After reading all this, I doubt you can actually do something like that on the tabletop, unless your group is up for it. I guess most groups would soon get bored out of dying to the same hard dungeon on repeat.
>>97367719Isn't the remake generally considered to be worse than the Saturn? I know it has a censored script (even in the Japanese version, it's not a localization thing).
