Anyone play it yet? I like the "rustic fantasy" setting. The core rules seem interesting, it has more mechanics and gameplay than most other narrative games. I enjoy that it doesn't have moves or whatever to confine you, you can actually play your character and do whatever you want. It's got enough knobs and options in terms of resolution I feel like it's actually a real game despite having that more story focus vs simulation focus. And I like that the DM has all the traditional power of the DM and there's not like "Fate Points" or something else that gives players control to change stuff.Thinking I might try a short game for my table, just a few lower powered sessions. It also has good tools for a solo stuff which is interesting.
>>97282512I've always looked at it as "these moves are the only actions relevant to gamify." You can do anything in a PbtA, it's just that the moves are supposed to only be triggered when something is worth rolling for.
>>97283948If they genuinely wanted to discuss the game, they should probably post something other than obvious hollow ad copy in the op.
>>97284096I think it says a lot more about you and your play group than it does the game that you see abstract tag mechanics and think "obviously this is going to result in an argument."
>>97286031Cute, anon. But I have dealt with wannabe powergamers in the past who will rules lawyer every possible advantage they can, even if it wastes everyone's time. That's the kind of shit they live for.
>>97286031It's just objectively bad design, sorry.
Are all realms in your fantasy setting traditional kingdoms or do you like including other types of governments as well?
>puckee thread
>>97285981I like to blend it up, but the majority of nations use a standard medieval-style system of rulership based on kings and nobility and all that stuff.>>97286058Shut the fuck up nigger. Not everyone is puckee and 18 posts over the course of a year isn't spam. If anything, you're spamming by constantly posting this retarded nonsense anytime someone posts a picture you don't like

>>97283138Would you say it's worth picking up then?
>>97284342I would say yes. The starter set is really good value.
>>97277252So you start with two yesses and then you have alternating yes/no? Y tho?
>>97285533Awesome, I think I'll pull the trigger then. Thanks for the input anon.

One very over-engineered magnetization job later:
>>97285983>Opinion on the AP paints, specifically Speed paints? (I'm jumping back into the hobby after 20 years absence)They do their job as intended, but they absolutely need a solid coat of varnish before you slap any sort of oil wash on them. I've got personal experience with Slaughter Red specifically turning muddy brown after a red oil wash.That being said, I still use them occasionally, primarily through an airbrush. You just absolutely have to remember to varnish them before using oil washes, streaking grime etc. Picrel were all primarily airbrushed with AP SpeedPaints over zenithals in combination with oil washes either before or after the speedpaint tinting. The yellow is my favorite, that was AP Ancient Honey mixed 50-50 with AP Maize Yellow airbrushed over a magenta-tan-white zenithal with a magenta oil wash done between the tan and white steps iirc.If I were to buy contrast style paints today I'd just get some from the new AK range though, they've never done me wrong with their normal acrylics>>97286313I posted an absolutely disgusting looking gorkanaut here around two years ago and got brutally roasted by like 7 different anons. It really stung my ego at the time, but it also motivated me to improve. Sometimes getting kicked in the balls is exactly what you need>>97286354>>97286476These look sweet anon
>>97286619I thinknso sort of greenish color with maybe gold would be good? I dont know how warm you can gwt silver to be
>>97286619Nice, clean fingernails.
Why do "modern" and modern people go insane when they see some eldritch blorblo, but Conan could just kill it without going "aaaaaahhh save me niggerman!!!!!"
>>97284782Then you become a cultist, and possibly a mad scientist archetype. You are provably entering the as-yet uncharted territory of a field that mankind has only ever previously accidentally dipped their toes into but now may access by means of apprenticeship/the scientific method, respectively.Your character conflict becomes a combination of social and financial isolation as you struggle to relate your new realizations to others with less flexible mental grounding. This carries with it a painful reality of how easy it is to fall into moral and ethical decay when the promise of each new discovery unraveling some prior assumption about life finally hits home, and you stop seeing society and psychology as solid, immutable forces that cannot be bent with sufficient genius.Ultimately, those who delve into the eldritch truth must struggle with not losing sight of everything else.
>>97286302>finding out you're on a ticking time bomb, you don't know how long's left on the timer, and you cannot get away, ever.this is something literal children come to terms with as part of normal early development lmao, what a spooky concept!
>That he did not instantly explode in a burst of murderous frenzy is a fact that measures his horror, which paralyzed him where he stood. A civilized man in his position would have sought doubtful refuge in the conclusion that he was insane; it did not occur to the Cimmerian to doubt his senses. He knew he was face to facewith a demon of the Elder World, and the realization robbed him of all his faculties except sight
>>97281870Civilized people think they have everything figured out so when something crazy appears before them it goes against that they think they know. The Savage know that they don't know a lot so when something insane appears before them they see it for what it is.
>>97284782Then you're probably fine.

>>97285813Based and Jappilled.
>>97286544You're the troll, buddy. 1629 is still canon where other sources do not contradict it. Most of it has even been reprinted in 1692 and the Handbook. Let's take a look at what the TDF comp is in 3059. Does it say tends toward light and medium battlemech lances? It sure does.You're really just proving that Tauriantards don't actually read the books.
>>97286428I say in the year of our lord 3067 that there's only been a handful of incidents the last two hundred and fifty years. It'll probably be fine. We'll miss the Solaris Class 5 finals if we dick around with that, today.
Can I trust Satan to give good advice about maintenance schedules?
>>97286717Do as you will, anon...
If you told me a few years ago that I'd be primarily using fucking Army Painter warpaints I would've called you a retard. Genuinely what a gargantuan upgrade from the old crap, can't recommend it enough
>>97284541It's like a super pigmented wash so it colors the whole area but is stronger in the crevices, basically doing two or three steps all in one go. iirc, the first iteration of Speed Paints had a problem with reactivation so they were really one and done, but Citadel Contrast Paint and I'm pretty sure the modern iteration of Speed Paint doesn't have that, so you can combine it with proper highlights or put a second layer of it on after it dries to further enhance the color. The intention is for them to be a whole alternative system to traditional painting, and it is easier to get table ready results since they look half-decent just putting one layer down over white primer.
>>97284677Yeah, it's about making minis look "good enough" for gaming. You can use them for basing and then highlight, shade, and such with acrylics for more showcase kind of things, but at that point you should really just be using regular paint.Whether it be SP, Contrast, AK, or any other 'speed paint', if you are doing more than prime, one coat, wash, and seal then you should stick with traditional paints. That said, speed paints are a god send if you got hoards of board game gray minis you want to knock out.
>>97284613
>>97284166It was obviously comical hyperbole but since it went right over your head and you're being a humourless dick about it.Guy who learnt his techniques as a kid and has to match hundreds of years old paints, glazes, finishes using materials which he has often has first to source the raw materials for, many of which haven't been made for centuries, before he can try mixing them without knowing the exact proportion of ground, pigments, solvents, binders, other additives, size of pigment particles, how they will be affected by the need to layer, apply a surface treatment, sand down, match texture, artificially age, let alone all the other work he does in reconstruction and repair before he can even apply the colour since all of those will affect the colour matching.versusBuy a couple of paints off the shelf.Use a measuring spoon or pipette.Your comparison is invalid and unreasonable.
>>97277739It really isn't once you're used to it. Especially with dropper bottles. If in doubt just use a syringe/pipette
How would adding a female only paladin order improve your setting?
>>97285712Traditional games?
>>97285712Could we compromise and make it a order of eyecandy ladyknights?
>>97286727Paladins only exist in traditional games and thigns based on them. Stop being a faggot.
>>97286770No answer because no games. Typical.
>>97286797post games
why are many creators so afraid of making a setting with napoleonic wars era technology?
>>97286541>At NO point would two lines of infantry just stand in front of each other shootingMaybe you MEANT to say, that the objective in this era of warfare was to close in and drive off the enemy with the bayonet?(Or conversely, to shoot an approaching enemy to ribbons, before they could get close.)But as written, you're saying that never ever ever did both sides just get within firing range and shoot over and over.Which is of course just ridiculous.
>>97286656>But as written, you're saying that never ever ever did both sides just get within firing range and shoot over and over.>Which is of course just ridiculous.NAYRT but that would be an oddity. For a start, if in open terrain how would you get a unit to stand through it? One would break before long, which was the whole point. Units needed to move to hold together in combat. Either towards or away, in general.It's certainly the case in rough terrain (or around fortifications) two sides could end up enmeshed and repelling each other by fire to prevent a close to bayonets. In that case it's less the case that they formed firing lines against each other and more the case that you'd end up with slow wheeling maneuvers to seek flanks and lots of skirmishing. Situations which might be resolved by cavalry or artillery.
>>97285005Why haven't you ever played traditional games?
>>97286280They can at most take credit for the naval part of the war.
>>97286742>NAYRT but that would be an oddity.Yes, that was implicit in my previous post, thank you.

>>97284209>only immune to Digimon effects Weak.
>TQMastemon sure is pretty. I really like the authentication service eBay forces on cards over 250USD. It standardizes the packaging and they ship it in hard and sturdy cardboard cases. The prices on eBay are stupid tho. Please buy my Mastemon at 800USD despite like 10 copies on TCGPlayer under 500. The seller fees are very similar. I don’t know what causes this price discrepancy.
>>97285688Different vendor mindsets. I don't think most ebay sellers update their prices or are deliberately overpricing expecting someone to message them and haggle
>TQNyabootmon it must be my favorite this year>Also the worst art America Medusa AAAlso EX11 it would finally fix the ghost deck right?
>>97286356Probably not. As much as I enjoy this tcg, there really is a disconnect in how the trash is used and whatever the devs are told to push. To prove I'm not crazy, a lot of the most recent ban and pairing restrictions kind of shows how underfunded the test team is. Although some if it really is a problem with how tgs without rotation struggle with how every single card counts and they have to push something new that is possibly better and combinations occur using stuff the devs aren't given the timeline to look for
Sharing useful wisdom that has helped me run more satisfying games. Trying to share some less common advice. These are my opinions and techniques that have helped me. I’d love to hear what has worked for other /tg/ DMs.1. Time pressure- adding time pressure through use of "clocks" including real life clocks is incredibly helpful to add pressure and tension to a scenario. Giving players choices but not enough time to make every choice adds meaning to those choices. Time pressure in combat is a contentious, but powerful tool to discuss with your players. Forcing a decision in seconds makes combat stressful and - when players are on board- fun (in anticipation of the common objection: if the players don’t make a choice in combat, I usually come back to them before round end, I never have them “just stand there”. Remember to assume character competency).2- The GM-ing engine- It's okay to front load content and prepare a few different rail-roady hooks in the first few sessions. Being a GM is like starting one of those old prop engines with a winch. It takes a while for the pistons (players) to kick into gear. Once they do, after a few sessions, all you need to do is apply gas. Solve the tavern problem by figuring out how characters know each other prior to the first session. 3- Immersion means impact- After a session, reflect on how the player choices affected the world (for good or ill), try to let the ripple of that effect emerge in the next session. Players that feel like they change the world around them invest in it.
>>97284287>if you actually engage with any of the questions.Which questions?
>>97283916No, completely wrong, you are an idiot and part of the problem. There is a single thing, called railroading, that is always a negative, and constantly either diluting the phrase, and trying to trick yourself into thinking there are somehow good railroads is an idiots past time.
>>97283385Good post, I feel illuminated.>>97284098Bad post. I love milsim games and I definitely want the gear autism and the preparation. In fantasy games it doesn't matter (there are barely any interesting tools outside of magic).
>>97286538I didn't say you can't buy your own stuff, just that IME players who aren't massive milsim spergs don't enjoy having all the wrong gear
>>97286778I find that really confusing. Modern and milsim games are all about being GOOD at preparation. Fantasy games are the ones for "just turn up and hope for the best" gameplay.

>>97282601Call me a faggot, but this update, and the abyssal woods one now, are just great. The explorable space within the game is slowly becoming enormous. Silver City too, is looking like it's going to be cool, and then there's IM and the Abyssal Woods. It's just absurd.It gives me the same sort of feeling I got when I started to realise how the map was structured in Dark Souls - it all fits correctly into 3d space and you can see all sorts of other areas you can get to from your current position. A whole connected ecosystem seething with monsters and treasure just waiting to be encountered.Sorry for the søyfull post. Please excuse me.
>>97283913I mean, they're cool,but I'd feel a lot better if poots had stuck closer to the pitch and left all the new campaigns and shit to their own expansions so we could've had COD in our hands 2 years ago like it was supposed to be...
>>97282148I've seen some scans in the purple site but far from a complete collections.Recast prices jump between $2-3 bucks for small models and up to $20-ish for big things like Spidicules.
>>97269759I can see a licensed TTRPG eventually. I doubt he personally works on any other KD projects though
>>97282601Thanks anon. Our group had put in for it on BF and just wanted a condensed version of what we are getting into (and what ill probably end up painting).>>97283913I enjoy seeing the realm expand too. Problem is it was left on "vague" setting for so long we have some of our own lore to fill the gaps that might be contradictory to official lore and that bums me out sometimes.>>97284996Havent played arcs yet but isn't that essentially a ttrpg with them?
