>TQJust hoping for a new tzeentch spearhead that doesn’t suck ass so I can play something chaos related.
>>97274282>inb4 jade obelisk & flamers
>>97274282i haven't checked in a while, but khorne is the only chaos faction out of the big four (sorry great horned rat) that has more than one spearhead, right? i'm kinda baffled by that considering how chaos is always the favorite baby of GW barring marines
>>97274294Obelisks at least look cool, I don’t really wanna see demons in it at all.
>>97274282>spearheadbefore it gets discontinued?
>gain traction from GW losing community goodwill>immediately start killing your own community goodwill before you even have a product fully outWhat is this business strategy called?
>>97272832Anon not everybody has 4 local dudes with 6 armies between themDo you get that?
>>97266387This was pretty interesting yeah. I suppose the main reason I think is they capitalized on GW's incompetence only to learn nothing and doubled down on GW's incompetence despite still being very much indie.
>>97267421To be fair cloning Christ and then harvesting his blood and maybe organs is kind of fucked up, though the lore implies it was under the sponsorship of God himself and otherwise Humanity would have died a long time ago. The setting itself is fucked up, but the guys with crosses objectively are trying to just survive and aren't cruel for the sake of being cruel.
>>97273047We should cut off all of tranny janny's limbs and make him watch his mother being raped to death. I bet he'll cum from that, the sick fuck.
>>97266425go back the reddit you fucking faggotIdk if this is bait your sitll gay
Is this really what 40k fags consider fun?
>>97268994Traditional games?
>>97268994Yes. Parody and satire is fun for many people (people that arn't you have their own views, likes and dislikes), especially when aimed at authoritarian companys and organisations. You would know this if you weren't autistic. Try to BE POSITIVE.
>>97268994Yes, fuck subverting expectations, fuck the xenos.
>>9727009540k isn’t traditional games now? Faggot off with that shit.
>>9726899440kfags are just brownoids LARP-ing as White Supremists.
Has your character ever been in love?
>>97263412My character brings his comatose girlfriend with him in a low key gypsy wagon. While he's away he keeps her locked up but during downtime I make sure to take her outside so she gets sunlight and fresh air, I massage her muscles to make sure she doesn't atrophy, and I basically do a lot of elderly care for her, and at night I have sex with her limp body because that's what she would've wanted me to do. For some reason the players all are creeped out by this and one even called me a rapist. I am actually questing to revive her from her coma and the woman I imagined her as would approve of being used as an onahole but for some reason I'm the black sheep in the group.
>>97272654He has no idea this has happened. To his character and him, she was just some fling, though my character did convince her not to tell him about it. He made up a story about how the bard was doing this as a huge favor and even went so far as to drink a potion of forgetfulness to not remember the event, due to being very shy and secretive about the "relationship" his character had with mine. He also told her that if she revealed to the bard that this event happened, he would likely kill her out of paranoia of someone knowing of his "secret", and for her own safety, she should keep it to herself.
>>97263412Come to think of it, none of my player characters have ever had love interests. I can't even think of characters I made with it as an element in their backstory, let alone one that happened in a game. They're all as lonely as me.
>>97274234It would be awkward to RP that kind of stuff with your buddies, as much I think it belongs in stories
Outside of videogames where always end up picking ones that require a Greater Good sacrifice and end up sacrificing love for it, not that much. Maybe I'm attracted to tragic romanced, because I find run of the mill romance a bit boring.
How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97271433Because it takes a high IQ to fathom fantasy within the real.
>>97271801>And within a fantastical reality, it can have things that are natural to itself and unnatural to itselfNope. Reality is reality, even within the fiction.>And within a fantastical reality, it can have things that are natural to itself and unnatural to itselfYes I absolutely can. There's logic to why fantasy even exists at all. It all starts with us.
>>97271904>>97271801>It's fucking fantasy. You don't need to apply real world logic to it.Yes I absolutely can. There's logic to why fantasy even exists at all. It all starts with us.
>>97271258>>97271900>Because even in a true Atlantean-esque era like our ownpulling made up terms out of your ass is not an argument, anon> You drop a shiny and chrome enough candy bar wrapper into the past and suddenly it’s a sacred objectlol, if you say so. Whatever bloats your goats>>97271801>It's fucking fantasy. You don't need to apply real world logic to it.your """arguments""" are self-defeating, anon
>>97274222Do you REALLY think modern science and all of its mathematical diagrams and symbols and other infrastructural configurations *wouldn’t* look more radically esoteric or alien or “magical” to persons in antiquity, compared to anything else they could have artistically or imaginatively cooked up themselves? Lol. A cellphone would be more arcane than anything else around to them.

My 2025 backlog doesn't count in 2026 so I'm free to buy more shit. Only completed 8-900 points of units this year, felt confident of getting to 1k at the start of december but the vehicles defeated me. Planning on putting new heads on like half these dudes as well. Pathetic.
>>97274335No, it's fine. But she's right on the line.

Everyone knows they are in a world created by a shitty world building thread.
Bolgar lore keepers are old wise men that are often called the Volk. They know many things about the world, both this one and the next, and can contact the spirits or even enlist their aid. Every oblast has one for the nobles are wary of the dark forests that surrounded their stone keeps and the terrible monsters that lurk within. The Green Men, Strigoi, Bog Maidens, Anglars, and others cross the veil to terrorize humanity for its soul is said to be the tastiest in the next world.Only the lore keepers know enough about pagan lore to appease these entities and to send them back from whence they came. Only they know these creatures' vulnerabilities. And their services cost more and more with every disappearance, straining the republic's coffers dry. >>97274024>shittyAin't that the truth.
The Bandit Kingdoms: a patchwork of big outlaw gangs that infest the land once known as the Reach. What was a bunch of farms and hamlets is now a maze of bandits and rough cattle towns where only the toughest can eek out a decent life. Most people live in terror of their savage overlords and only a few warlords seem to rise above being raiders... And even then, it must be said that the changes they make rarely stick and their realms rarely last before the gangs turn on each other once more.They're the South's rough equivalent to the Jackals. But unlike the Jackals, the Bandit Kings do maintain a semblance of order in a way. Rivals are ran off with most warlords preferring their operations to be running as smoothly as possible. The people of this land call themselves the Reachmen and have a lot of Bison iconography, in fact old folklore states the world rides on the back of a bull. The Church and the peasantry are none the wiser, and the bandits think that rats spawn from fallen trees.
There is a growing, yet harmless cult of people who claim that parts of the world make no sense or are only here as part of some higher being's trivial preference.Beyond this they don't really cause much direct trouble. Little do they know their insistence only makes the nonsensical stuff appear more often.
>>97256211>>97257888>>97273377fucking kek.
Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97273499I have to admit I preferred the NWOD approach here. The image of vampires as predators of Jesus himself, their dark mirror, is more badass than "just" killing your brother because God had a very bad passive-aggressive way of communicating.
>>97273621Ok. My point was that blatant Biblical themes work mainy in "our 19-21th century" type of urban fantasy. Even if you find theoretical justification to add elves and orcs, it would be organic only in the formula>(N)WoD + KULT setting + Tiefling and Aasimar + Bright (2017, film)
>>97273721>(N)WoD + KULT setting + Tiefling and Aasimar + Bright (2017, film)+ Hellblazer + Hellboy
>>97273529I'm drawn to Cain because of several elements:The Mark of Cain.City of Enoch.Destined to Wander the Land of Nod.Founded the Fist City.Also, making Tiefling symmetrical to the Aasimar is compelling and gives a much needed myth gravity that normal Aasimar lack because they are less my grandpa had sex with an angel, I won the lottery, and more my grandpa were great heroes but also tyrants.
>>97273529As for elves = indistinguishable from actual demons for longer than people remember.
Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.
>>97252361Did you try and get them to play something marginally different to 5e like ACKS or Pathfinder with 12 million rules for them to remember? Get them used to other systems buy running short campains with rules light systems like Mothership or Cairn.
>>97270251I don't even think rules light systems are always necessary; nine times out of ten, the people complaining about being unable to get their groups to try a new thing are doing a dogshit job of pitching the game. I will say it again: don't expect the players to buy in to learning a new game based on you telling them how cool it is; run a one shot with pre generated characters that introduces the basic rules and showcases how fun the game is.
>>97270251If you have to ease your group into playing other systems, there's already a problem. Alongside that, if you are fucking sick of generic D&D fantasy bullshit, playing more generic D&D fantasy bullshit isn't a solution to that grievance.
>>97232331I think session zeros should be a thing, formal or informal. Either way GM/DM advice is useless because every GM, theor skills, style, and what they want is different. Some GMs probably benefit from having 20 pages of notes for a session and planning for every possibility, my notes are a few stat blocks for likely enemies and some possible loot with me winging the rest. Some GMs might like reading 5 page backstories, I for one just want to know family, friends, origin, and goals of PCs. Some GMs like games built around the story where it's 90% roleplayong 10% mechanics, I for one love mechanics and combat.
>>97271637>Either way GM/DM advice is useless because every GM, theor skills, style, and what they want is different.There is still advice that is universal regardless of what your style is.

>>97269791It's not Sorcery at least.
>>97271069This is a nice looking card.
Happy New Year, everyonehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1J_xjmdNJrP-MKPhO0-8nwwCj5SEiLVo1IDfydR1mX4g/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.u90qazuaklan
>>97271069>how difficult is it to learn?Can you describe your current level of understanding of traditional games slash card games?If you've somehow wandered onto this board as a true No-Games then learning Sorcery is going to go over like a lead balloon. If you know what tactics games are like, then you imagine what if magic had board positioning and an ambulatory avatar, then you're pretty close to the idea of what the game plays like. You're building a physical realm with each site you draw from your resource deck, shaping the lands and tapping into the elements they wellspring; but always remember that positioning and timing is everything when you're contesting territory. If that's not your cup of tea I don't blame you, maybe try something a little more abstract?
I've been working on a game for about five years and wanted to share it, but I can't seem to upload pdfs anymore. Why is this? I thought /tg/ was the hub for sharing rules systems. A lot of the stuff I played while designing was downloaded from the sharethread, are they also suffering from this?
>>97272402Not gonna happen, shartyfag.
>>97270837niceguess i jump ship here
>>97270762it was an honest question. have you even posted your pdf yet? absolute loser behavior from you OP.
>>97272402Gay but predictable.
>>97272402oh no. how will we cope.
Holiday EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What are some of the best gifts to give elf-lovers? What gifts would you give to lovers of other races/species/ancestries/whatever?
Elves should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. They should take time to use and be exhausting to hunt.
And other nonsense shitposts that don't apply to the act of actively playing as an elf in traditional games.
Thank you for your contribution.
>>97230509Interesting face, feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
Happy new year comfy elf thread
