>>97210948Napoleonic style line warfare doesn't work with most fantasy settings, due to existence in most of them of more precise substitutes for artillery and line breaking units. You can't really have anything close to Napoleonic style warfare when the other side can put a wizard with Fireball on the field.
>>97211873Modelling wise? Absolutely. If you check out any reviews on historical miniatures any guy worth his salt is going to be going into some autistic details over what is done right and wrong. Sometimes getting into arguments with commenters over historical accuracy of their claims. With sources. Rules wise it is much more relaxed.
>>97212059I love MFZ for the idea, but the implementation fucking sucks. You'd think building around Lego sets you would see some serious mech creation rules that reward you for going out of your way in designing some fun miniatures instead you get anemic rules right romp that is at best good for introduction into wargaming and then forgotten.

>>97216469I think there's no reason not to play into them, ending your turn early is a guaranteed loss, trying to make your full board at least has a chance of winning anyway depending on what they draw. If it's game 1 and you don't know what your opponent's on they might be on some really jank deck that could draw 30 cards and still not break your board. Some decks don't even benefit from resolving one all that much and still run them because their opponent will fumble and misplay the instant a mulcharmy activates, which is to say that in a lot of cases there's nothing for them to even draw into, they're just bluffing that letting them draw is dangerous.
>>97215775Hope you found em cheap, good luck.
>>97216469Since the Mulcharmies are area specific, you generally have two strats:>Play around the zones that let them draw cardsSome decks are able to put up a decent partial board while giving the opponent few to no draws.>Full SendIf they draw enough cards, they are going to have to randomly shuffle some back. Get some Nibiru protection up in case they draw into it, and then just go all in.
>>97216469Play combo lines that end on 1-3 draws and 2-4 interactions and supplement with your non-engine.There's some decks that can just blatantly disrespect the Mulcharmy like Lunalight because most decks can't out 2 Liger Dancers + Bagooska with their entire deck in their hand before sideboarding.

Thoughts on the BP Epic Waterloo stuff? I had never payed much mind to it because Waterloo is not a campaign that I'm that interested, but a bunch of guys at the club have been playing it and I found a couple of second hand starter sets for very cheap. I'm seriously tempted to get the Prussian starter and join them. They also play with the ACW stuff.Btw the new captcha is fucking stupid.
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97212864Pretty much opinion exactly. It was pretty funny though how fast the excitement over 8th (oh thank god, 7th is dead at last!) turned to disappointment as it rapidly turned into its own form of debacle.
I remembering 1000pts of Eldar tabling 3000 pts of nids. I remember Eldar tabling Orks turn 1, fellow took out 100s of models, and didn't play a single one. We had a statewide tourney and the top 25 were all Eldar.
>>97213029Seconding a request for that
>>97186108There's an 8th Edition?! I stopped following the sales driven Churn in the 90s, have done my own thing and am I'm still enjoying playing 3rd-4th edition even today. Lets hope GW doesnt keep shitting out even more editions every couple of years, right? Imagine how sad you would have to be to just keep buying countless even shittier rules books just because the game company says you have to, to continue to play the game you already own and enjoy, right? LOL.
>>97214830It's crazy how long Eldar dominated the game so much so that GW's serious attempt at balancing marines was to just make them chunkdar. 9/10 if an Eldar player asked you for a game beforehand you were better off going to the hobby table/home instead of wasting your time putting down models you'd be picking up turn 1-2.

>>97209931The newly established Mughal government in Delhi is trying to focus on achieving unity across the empire. After Bahadur Shah II died in 1862, his son Mirza Mughal was crowned as Akbar III. Greatly influenced by lemurian mysticism, he is planning to continue the project of his ancestor Akbar I, the “Din-I Ilahi” philosophy of unity and harmony between the different faiths of the subcontinent, now intertwined with lemurian mysticism. The difficulty of lemurian mystics and lords is difficult to quantify, though many within the top ranks of his administration are of lemurian origin. This is worrying many non-lemurian lords and nobles, as the tendency to blindly follow prophecy makes them passive followers of fate in their eyes.
We could probably tie this lore a bit more with the lemurian one. Any suggestions how?
Also, for the option of a neomughal book, here are some tokens and units I've made. I do need to add more lemurian-related stuff, so any ideas would be appreciated. >>97194909>Brahmin-ProphetDo you have any idea for the unit's art?
What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97195303>safehornyDid the culture change so much? How am I supposed to depict deranged mad mage? What wouldn't be safehorny nowadays, something that would scream 'I am deviant'?
>>97191173So what you're saying is, to separate your game from D&D, all you have to do is proclaim to your players, "Alright gang, in this setting, everyone has nice tits". Is it really that simple?
>>97216952>What wouldn't be safehorny nowadays, something that would scream 'I am deviant'?making the sexy female character canonically underage
>>97216969Precisely. This guy >>97200938 said it already but just compare current year fantasy art compared to stuff from the 1930s to '80s
>>97196293Dragon's Dogma AD&D but with monster hunter controls.Dungeon Meshi AD&D but with cooking.So maybe add more than just basic D&D. Classic AD&D is a great base for your fantasy world/setting/game etc. Just add more to it other some power fantasy BS. Hell people love the basic setting, so if you changing stuff from it. Don't make it worse, look at Woke DND settings and games. Sure you have activists and tourist defend it, but they won't play or buy the games now. Hell will be honest, sometimes not changing much can be a good thing too. Since everyone want to change it so it feel unique and not like D&D they make it worse, and shocker people like the D&D feel. Maybe sometimes just go with it.
What "magical realm" and edgy stuff do you like including in your RPGs?For me is forceful genderbending spells that can't be undone.
>>97153880For me it's polygyny and default female bisexuality. In most settings this is trivially justifiable by a huge portion of young men getting themselves killed adventuring, soldiering, by marauding monsters, etc.Also cat/fox/wolf ears.
>>97153880What is the context of that image? Is not a battle book right?
>>97213553How do you feel about scheming evil kobolds? Cause I might have a story for you...
>>97215754I think of kobolds as redundant discount gobbos only good for midget tossing challenges, but I'll admit that's just because I'm still very pissed at my very first DM always playing them like vietcongs and killing off my characters back in the early 90s. So, I'm always up for a story in which they get btfo.
>>97153880I am so terrified of my players pointing out magical realm that my NPCs generally point the exact opposite direction, meaning we have settings full of tittymonsters who treat other people with respect.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97216563There are zero genders.There are two sexes though.>>97217034Intersex people are intersex. It's in the term. Still not a third sex, just a mutation. To even consider it a third sex, intersex would have to have reproductive capabilities that differed from the two sexes, such as functional testes and functional ovaries at the same time.
>>97213989>How to you justifyI don't.Have you tried not having crippling autism?
>>97213989Unfeasible pre-industrialization and profitable during early industrialization because magnates realized that tiny adults of a race everyone hates being tossed between gears causes far less outrage and worker protests than using children of other races.
>>97215305Are in most of my setting, though the dragonborn nations have a history of keeping them as a low-caste population and footsoldier crop.

Anyone here could spruce it up a little. Most of the info is barely 2 pages long at the beginning, middle and towards the end, excluding the little story that's just the same thing at the middle but in a much longer story format and not that good, I much prefer the raw info.

>>97217041When you add an orc that makes it an orc unit.
>>97216707He seems to be one of the Blizzard guys most inspired by Warhammer pic being some random art he did on his own
>>97215994I personally really like the other gimmicks the miners bring to the table to want to totally remove them as a unit, but something like for every unit of miners you can pay 1ppm for another unit to follow them down the tunnel and arrive at the same time/place would be cool. Similar to the skaven drill weapons team.>>97216968Pretty much this. It's a free upgrade to shield and choppa boys that gives you more flexibility. In a worst case scenario it's lobbing out a few arrows a turn and you can stand and shoot, while if you get an early objective you can just volley fire into chaff units or blocks of infantry while retaining board control.
>>97217027I love the detail that orc bullies are those that are too old or crippled to go into fights. So they just let the gobbos have it instead, lmao

>>97214987There is in fact +1WS/BS as a cybertheurgy, which is very easy to throw on them because they have a 2+ save and as such don't give a damn about feedback.A decent squad of buffed-up Domitars essentially project a 12" infantry exclusion zone with all that D2 firepower, only EW or W3 termies can really push into it. The only major downsides for them are that they go in fairly exclusive slots, are quite vulnerable to anti-tank guns and can't score well with an embedded Magos since they're Vanguard, but they do actually have a good chance of scoring Vanguard with their guns.They can't go in transports, since they're Cybernetica and don't have the rule the Scyllax and Echidnax have that lets you fold them up and put them in vehicles. They're also just huge models, it would be a little silly if they could fit in anything but specialist transports.
