Small houses, scatter terrain like furniture and rubble, Greek columns/pillars, simple slab monuments, one-three room houses, trees, simple cliffs. Each adds something unique, either visually or mechanically.

I'm not the anon that asked, but I'm glad they did because those 6mm trees are legit some of the best I've ever seen. I actually held off on making some because none of the other tutorials I'd seen were as good.

Do you mind also sharing how you did the bases?

I told people different start times for a game based on their level of flakiness and got them to show up at the same time.

I sometimes sneak in Magical Realm shit like the party being hunted by brown Amazons who think they'd father strong daughters.

I sometimes run games in secret because I don't want to hurt the feelings of friends whose playstyle I hate or think their personalities would clash with those of my favorite players.

I don't consider online games real RPGs. It's like the equivalent of condom sex with a woman you find unattractive. You didn't have sex, you fapped into another person and your subconscious knows it.

Trench Raiding With The Lads 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 not
TC 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.

Its hard to do it with campaign games as youll likely be upgrading or swapping equipment on units as the campaign progresses, so I just stick to something that can be approximated. Like ill make a model with a 1 handed sword, but in the profile I can just say its a 2 handed sword when I pay to swap the weapon out,, or a bolt action rifle is a semi auto rifle if I swap it out.

Its why its good to have a theme or intended upgrade path for units so you have something to model around. Remember, you really need about 20 models in reality for this, youll be adding and upgrading units over time.

That's cool that he still comes over and plays on occasion, even if it's just with starters. Life can really get in the way when we get older (I turned 40 yesterday, which just feels weird), and I'm thankful that my friends and I can still find time for our hobby on occasion.
We might try Sorcery at some point if any of our LGS decide to stock it. The real issue is finding time. We have so many fun games we have decks for already, and a handful that we haven't even learned to play yet.
I hope you and your brother have fun with Sorcery! Sounds like he found a great gift for the two of you to share.

First off, happy birthday. Hell of a date. I'm years off from turning 40, but it's nearer than I want to admit.
>The real issue is finding time.
That's the biggest game killer of all, making schedules and locations line up perfectly so game jams can commence. I pine for the days of having a whole weekend just for gaming, but with how busy things can get, especially during the holidays, it's easy to have that game jam get pushed back months at a time. What's important is keeping at it, and not letting the dust settle so hard it just kills your drive to try new things.
>>
>>97285733
>First off, happy birthday. Hell of a date.
Thank you. And yeah, the date certainly made for some interesting birthday parties in my youth.
It's definitely a challenge sometimes to get together, but if we plan well enough in advance it usually works. We just have to put in a bit of effort and enjoy it when the opportunities arise. It's nice that we have the internet to connect us, but nothing beats getting together in person, even when it's not as often as we'd like.

In WEG' D6 Fantasy orcs, goblins, ogres and bugbears are created from other humanoid races. The most handy and large scale method is just burying humanoids to a cursed ground, which causes them to deform and rise again as mentioned evil races. They can also be created by corrupting humanoids through magical torture, and through evil races raping other humanoid women which results in offspring of evil race.
This is all mostly done by evil wizards who want obedient minions who do their bidding as long as they are given something to hurt or smash on regular basis.

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.

You roll skill checks if there's a chance for failure you numbnuts. Just like every fuckin game. In DND for example.
OSR games: if you're a thief you get a chance to disable the trap, if you don't disable the trap you have to find a way to engage with the trap.
For 3.5 if you have a disabled device check of +20, you only roll for really difficult traps. Otherwise you have to deal with the trap with resources or saves
4e :skill challenges.
5e: everyone has a chance to disable the trap, but the guy with thieves tools has a better shot.
Legend of the mist: if there is a lock that does nothing if you fail the skill check, you just bypass it if you have the skill. If failing the skill check would activate a trap or summon guards, it becomes a whole ordeal that's not too different from a 4e skill challenge

Osr: if there's combat, you treat it like war and get unfair advantages.
3.5/5e it's a whole new game you have to play
LitM: combat has the same rules as challenges. Fighting some roadside bandits should put the same amount of stress as a cliff side rock slide. Combat is like a 4e skill challenge

Oh, okay. I was caught up on the other guy's 3-to-1 comment and wires got crossed.

I don't see Arc Light getting banned over Habakiri, though. They know it's a problem in every format, and it's getting reprinted in a set which is a death sentence for powerful cards. Being in a structure deck did not save Artifact Scythe, being in the Rarity Collection did not save Baronne, and being in Legendary Modern Decks probably won't save Habakiri. Or at least not for long after it's released.

You're right. Excuse me. It took until Yummy to be able to consistently make all 3 without blowing your wad on Arc Lights and not have a follow-up gameplan afterwards.

Herald retrain with proper xenolocks to avoid compatibility with other unintended engines like Drytron would probably be okay. I still think Habakiri is the reason that Arclight is considered broken now, but I'm not losing sleep over a herald ban either way though. I'd honestly just prefer they errata Habakiri to solve the problem without killing pure Yummy, random rogue ritual decks, or pure Mitsurugi, but unfortunately Konami doesn't like doing that.

because people in the old times actually believed in the stories about monsters and demons so when they inevitably appear they weren't taken aback by the existence of such creatures.
meanwhile, us modern folk have been brought up with the notion that science and logic disallows the supernatural. As a result, when the supernatural happens our very worldview shatters to pieces along with our sanity.

People legitimately don't get Lovecraft. It isn't being afraid of a fish or that you don't matter, it's the fear of 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.
