>>97337459pocket comes with two expansions included.which sucks, because hive you want to play with zero or three expansions, otherwise the first player has a sizeable advantage
>>97337594>because hive you want to play with zero or three expansions,I've pretty much only played with all 3. What's wrong with using the ladybug and mosquito without the pillbug?
>>97337598It's too attacker oriented, so the first player has a significant advantage. With two extras but no pillbug (the only defensive piece) white can just brute force a win, which isn't really possible with the limited amount of pieces in base game. I can't find the post now but the hive autists collected and presented a lot of data from some webplay site and the closest to 50/50 balance was no expansions or all expansions, and actually only ladybug and mosquito was one of the worst>t. was obsessed with hive a few years ago
>>97337280Can you talk about the asymmetry of the factions in Eclipse vs TI?>>97337248How would you rate the 3 games? I guess a 10 hour game inherently makes for better stories than a 3-4 hr game.
Emotional support elf editionDiscuss elves.Post elves.Love elves.All elf lore, game stories art and any else that's elfy is all appreciated.Thread question: To what extent do elves share their wisdom and experience with other races to help them emotionally and psychologically?previous thread: >>97278632
>>97337386Elezen are cool, but one could argue that they are barely elves.
>>97337497Elezen and Elvaan are some really unique Eastern takes on Elves, being more martial and religious
>>97337523I would argue, there is nothing un-elfen about both these aspects.Despite accusations of being wimpy hippie faggots, elves in many settings are presented as competent warriors, and they have fought massive fucking wars in them.And they aren't atheists, nor without spirituality either.I guess what makes Elezen more unique is the focus on these aspects and less specialization in magic and the arcane.
>>97335293>5e campaign for ya.I'm intensely curious once you all have wrapped up to know what was left out, given I've read Descent Into Avernus. For example you all found Lulu! But maybe the silly little flying potato-elephant couldn't convince your group of something.

>>97329430I individually base all my minis even though I'd prefer to multi-base them. It doesn't limit what I can use them in then. I can always make movement trays or multi-base them later by gluing based figure to card then filling in the gaps with sand and touching up. Whereas single basing multi-based units would be a pain in the ass.

>>97337622I'm not going to entertain the pretence that other anime genres are more mature, I'll stick to the suggestion because I know it's a successful genre, most useful in promoting the hobby, and cannot fuck up the background itself either.sue me
>>97337622nta but that is basically the genre name it's what Girls Und Panzer, K-on and Yuri Camp are.I'm surprised Sunrise never bothered to make one where girls make Gunpla kits, they just did Gundam Build Fighters instead
I have empire, chaos, and orcs n goblins armies. they're somewhat orderly, chaotic, and selfish. What would be a good fourth army? Maybe bretonnia for another orderly army, or high elves/lizardmen instead to expand races, or undead for another villain army but who arent chaos involved, or dogs or war/wood elves for another more selfish army?
>>97337161>have full plate armour>weaker than baseline chaos warriorsyou might not have the powers of estimation you think you do

*sound of chalk scratching*
>>97337506My brother visited a high-caste indian college classmate's family home one summer and was pretty shocked at how casually they just kinda owned people over there. They TECHNICALLY weren't slaves, but they may as well have been.
>>97337137>stealing someone away from their families and turning them into property at the threat of violence is morally acceptable.So how do you feel about imprisonment for crimes committed? Because that is quite literally stealing someone away from their families and turning them into property at the threat of violence.
>>97337117Morality is a consequence of logic and empathy. Implying morality is suddenly massively different in a different world relies on either the fundamental nature of people changing, or the laws of logic. One is essentially incomprehensible, the other merely extremely difficult to parse. Since a tabletop setting has to be somewhat comprehensible for players to act as characters, or for readers/watchers to understand the motivations of the cast, there aren't many reasons to have an entirely skewed frame of morality. Unknowable ethics, however can be (poorly) used to excuse shit writing, post-facto declaring one side to be the righteous party despite mounds of evidence to the contrary, or similarly declaring another side to be the villain despite evidence to their righteousness/innocence.Similarly, laws are (sometimes) used to try to prevent unethical outcomes, while creating the least number of unethical outcomes themselves. Bad laws can exist, but past a certain point bad laws begin to implode as the people underneath them have enough.
>>97337536Your explanation for different cultures IRL having different morality? Is it the "logic" or "empathy" component that varies?

>>97335762Before it lost its balls, anywho
Lets talk about what makes a player or GM truly great? Is it how a player makes their character, roleplay at the table, a GM who is very descriptive, etc.Or we can share stories about really good players or GMs we met at our own tables.
>>97336400Got lucky then with mine. Could imagine there being a lot of newcomers however who lose interest again because it is not their thing. Ofc they then could simply tell it is not their thing instead of simply ghosting the group.

>>97336416Hm, the ones that somehow still come but do not really engage in the game are a problem. Think a group can tolerate one of these but not more.
One of my players offered to take up the mantle of GM and is going to use my homebrew setting for Barbarians of lemuria. I'm pretty hyped for it, actually playing a pc for the first time, and glad that he is willing to go forward with my "creation", developing it further, instead of running a known IP. Couldn't ask for more.

>>97336423Even a pure OTK build would be just control. Yeah, sometimes you pull it off on turn 2, but your actual gameplan is to spend time searching for your pieces. That's combo control. Yugioh is aggro-centric.
>>97335936Interesting they'd create a Mind Link tamer that actually wants to risk staying in the Digimon as a primary focus. Usually the Seekers stuff just wants you to Alliance or Jamming the opponent before resetting yourself.Unchained really is unchained with how he approaches gameplay between using DNA, Mind Linking and normal Link.Hell, one might get the thought that he wants to combine things together if one didn't have the context to his actions from the novels/manga
What sci-fi setting has the best Space Rome?
>>9733639340k is fantasy, anyway.
>>97336393To be fair 40k also has the Severan Dominate, who are much more rome coded
>>97336525That's just cadians with pteruges
>>97336278The Trigan Empire. What do I win?
>>97336278i would say a blame like mega city would fit well to a roman cifi setting.Maybe i only say this becouse i work on my own world/system build in roman asteatic.Its aims to have a roman social and cultural aspects dialed to 11.Single centurion ordering armees of robots, wealthy patricia sheltered in marble bunker.Hordes of indebted slaves and genetically optimized beast servants.criminal organizations with a mythical and underworld template.all neatly packed (or so i hope) put into roman halls of decay.hopes this help you. Overall X in space is one of the easyer things but keeping it on point can go hard.honorable mention to homeworld and the Taii dan. They could fit what you seeking even better.

>>97334620Not nearly as many as people think.Going by the stats provided by Horus himself.>Only 1% of encounters with humans ever involved firing a shot at all.>Of those 1%, it was just as likely to be a firefight at a warehouse, than a full blown war.>Astartes were a comparatively minor group of the Great Crusade. They were the poster boys for Imperial might, and they did highly important work. But most of their work was going to pre-scouted systems with known threats that couldn't be bargained with.>Official enclaves and diplomatic wings were set up in the case of amicable xenos. Unfortunately, most amicable xenos were killed off by dark eldar, orks, or things that HAD to go.The Imperium in m41 is the way it is BECAUSE of systemic generations of people assuming the Imperium is too big to fail, and basically not bothering to actually try hard to maintain it. As such, it exhibited a slow, but accelerating degeneration (most notably in the "Waning" period) from something pretty amicable, to a universe where reading and wheels are literally illegal/sins that will get you drawn and quartered on some planets, the state religion is a legal requirement, aliens and weird looking people are to be killed on sight, and not knowing shit is seen as a high virtue because you're either working 20+ hours a day, or being sent to fight Orks with a flashlight in human waves because strategically the Imperium can only barely afford even that expense to make your lasgun. Oh yeah, and; wanting anything better, or having the knowledge to make anything better, are enough for some puritans to kill you for chaos corruption.Seriously. People forget the "Kill the Alien, Slay the Heretic, Purge the Unclean" xenophobia wasn't the Emperor, but a result of those 10 millennia of flanderization of his actual stance, into a feature of their religion.Comment too long.

>>97334620Big E was worried about one thing and one thing only, and that was the oncoming human psychic awakening. If the Eldar were able to turn a whole sector of the galaxy into a giant butthole into the warp and shit out a whole new chaos god, what would man accomplish having already seeded his way across all the stars. Human dignity was secondary to making sure that he could save his own ass from being the plaything of dark gods for eternity.
>>97336134Well that's because the Emperor went>Kill the Alien if they don't fuck off>Heretics? They're all heretics so kill them too>The Unclean are a myth, they don't exist. And look how good that worked out.

Finally. This will lower the price Warhammer in the US. Right?
>>97337063Sorry chuds, across-the-board protectionism has its price.
We do not need three threads on this topic

Not unless they're building a factory out back too
>>97321858I just make my kids play 4e. If we buy new models we just write new rules. So the meta is having children and indoctrinating them
>>97321485I take it my solution of "just play with the old stuff" was too accurate and thus would've ended this thread too soon?
>>97335722>just play with the old stuffRelies on a community that also wants it.Its chievabke for yo and your mates, but its much harder togt a foothold with others and encourage games with new people. All store events are going to be current edition, most pick up games will reflect this.Not to say it can't happen, Australia has an annual 2nd Ed event in qld that is very well attended. I understand a huge 3rd Ed appended in NSW last year too. Both events have spawned and interconnected communities across the country.

Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97330128Whatever gets furfaggots off my table
Thanks for the great discussion /tg/
>animal rapist is also a bumpfagSad!
>>97337419>Why do you picture an orc when they are self evidently going to have an elephants head that looks nothing like an orc? Seriously, take a look at a loxodon or loxo from D&D, they are absolutely not a fucking orc despite topping out at 8ft tall.Jeez, man, I dunno, maybe because the post I replied to said 'well, DnD's elephant people are eight feet tall!' and making a fucking elephant person be eight feet tall feels like you're taking an orc, painting him gray, and sticking a trunk and ears on him as to make him look like an elephant. Lackluster. Might as well reduce all your elves to being just humans with slightly sharp ears. Loxo also on average are like seven-ish feet tall. Which means that if you spray-paint an orc gray, and stick an elephant fursuit head on him, you'd get a close Loxo approximation. That's incredible, it's certainly the variance I want to see. To achieve an approximation of a goblin, I will find a 4'10 woman and dunk her into a bath full of rubbing alcohol and green sharpies.>Oh no! Three whole feet taller than D&Ds version, which bumps them to large size and changes little else.>DnD rulesReal patricians convert WoD, and didn't you just complain that it's silly to make elephants bigger? Pick a lane. Also, it's the height of actual elephants. They'd be less heavy due to being bipedal, but that's still a huge bitch, way bigger than eight feet tall. A natural walking tank if it shows up in parts of the world where the average height is six feet; and that's perfectly fine, but the point is finding the fine line separating 'natural walking tanks exist in-setting' and 'every well-off army is made up of giant troops of some sort'.>Are you being retarded and thinking that a species must be both physically and mechanically unique to have a place in a setting? You seem to presume and read really heavily into things to get upset at them for making statements or claims that aren't actually there.
I think furfags can make nice lizard/cat/rat faces but when it comes to canines they always make them look cartoonish.
