I'm sure it's stupid question but - how to get rid of fear from using all accumulated optional/spare parts and bits for kitbashed and customs? I have probably irrational fear from "wasting" these parts and instead of actually using them, I keep hoarding them in boxes. I do have ideas about how to use them but each time I have this inner voice telling me I will simply waste these parts on mediocre at best work.
>>97273365Well, the easiest and best would be if you'd put them all in a nice big box and sent them all to me.
Dubs and above turn into canon.
>Time to try againThe Skald: clan kingdom.Rulers: king advised by clan council.Heraldry: the white eye. Religion: Church adherent totemism. A brief summary: the Skald are a series of clans in the far south that trace their descent to sea raiders that conquered and enslaved the native bear worshipers. These vikings, however, had a taste for the sagas and sung long into the night with tales about gods, kings, forgotten empires, dead kingdoms, and the corpse halls of the fallen to the point where the slaves began to partake of the sagas themselves. With the Vikings burying their axes and forgoing the old ways of song for that of mummers and sermons, the Skald began to call themselves the Skald. And as more and more information was lost, the Skald became invaluable as lore keepers and historians for they remembered the old secrets. Recent converts to monotheism, the Skald clans hold that God is the Allfather and that several of the gods they once worshipped are actually different names given to the angels. The Allfather is said to have traded one eye to the primordial ocean for foresight and is represented in three different forms:>The Warrior King>The Old Wanderer>The Broken ManThe Warrior King is the most popular of the three personifications by far and the image used most by Friars when stamping out the Cult. The wanderer is a trickster figure and the most benign of the three, being neither good or evil. The Broken Man is their interpretation of the Second Prophet only he sacrificed himself for power and knowledge in their eyes, not because he felt compassion for mankind.Friars are aggressively trying to make the Skald compliant with the Church and have had great success in the cities but the countryside is another story. There, many stories abound of Old Snow Bear. He who must be placated with gifts and hearty livestock lest he get enraged.
The Southern Church worships God but has the angels playing a far more prominent role in scripture with each kingdom identifying with one of God's appointed. As a result, you have monastic orders and religious convents devoted to one angel or the other similar to the sainthood from our own world. The lack of a holy trinity with the Angels embodying most aspects of God on their own has led to the Muslims accusing the Southrons of paganism which angers the theologians. God appointed the angels to reign in his steed so they are furthering his will by design. Stain glass windows are covered with Seraphs, Malakim, Orphanium, Cherubs, and even the Grigorio with a focus on light colors. The devil plays a huge role in theology with him falling when he revolted against the leadership of Ariel who ultimately bested him during the War in Heaven. Casting him down into the fiery pits of hell. Apart of the reason why Muslims dislike them so much is the fact that they have household angels and local divine beings that they still pray to. The Outremer portray their angels by blacking out the faces to show respect for the divine. Old habits die hard. >>97273177That's honestly the most depressing part of the thread. Hard work posts get passed up for fetish shit due to the whims of the numbers. So you get rapid fire spam as that's the only way to win. As if the gods are gambling.
>>97273285>As if the gods are gambling.That's a common position here. More blatant than the really gay Muslims and the resulting coping from imams.
>>97273226Humans all have frog tongues while frogs all have human tongues
Pepe is the most popular pagan god

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
Can we talk about slightly more NSFW lore here?
>>97165346Why is there NO old world shit it stores? I went to 2 warhammer stores and 1 independent wargame stores and the best they had was the rulebook.Whats with that? Its 40k all on one side AoS all on the other, I want to go in a store and actually buy things for my big army damn it. I guess I could buy online, but still.
>>97272154as long as you don't post nsfw images I don't think jannies care
>>97270742Tubal-Cain is descended from Cain and Ham is descended from Ham so it doesn't really work and I find it kinda meh to include biblical mythology and just throw in standard DnD races. I'd want a pseudo-biblical game to have races that seem to fit thematically, so randomly having a race of Dwarves, a race of Orcs, a race of elves, and a race of tiefling sounds boring.
>>97272834Fair point. It's just a draft of a framework and needs work. Tiefling and Aasimar in particular are very Christian-coded. I think making Tiefling and Aasimar echo the Children of Cain and the Nephalim is a stronger origin story than "my grandpa had sex with a succubus once and here I am." Others might have different mythology. Work in progress
>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?
This is janny's pet topic holy shit. He'll ban you for any reason in the TC general and in any other TC thread too unless you treat the game like it's SERIOUS BUSINESS.
>>97272481>why are TC players so defensive?unless youre the manlet responsible for making it, i dont see why you would be defensive. more to the point this thread was obviously intended to shit on the game, if that bothers you why would you even read it?
>>97272813Genetically engineered female space marines are canon in BT.
>>97272931Honestly once you and your local wargamer/skirmisher group get to know the system, it very quickly turns into rocket-tag. It's further exacerbated when you run it in its intended mode as a campaign.
>>97272832>If people you don't know on the internet can make you not want to play a gameI think it is like rainbows. They are cool as fuck, but some mother fuckers and their degenerate ways have tarnished rainbows and had made the enjoyment of them way harder for the rest of the population.
how did you explain having literal blue human women in your scifi setting?
>>97259986>Nooo you can't have humanoid aliens/fantasy races!Yes I can because humans and all other life on earth evolved from a common ancestor to the great panspermia of this region of the galaxy. People from alpha centauri looked eerily human to us, and we look eerily centauran to them. Ancient settlers found both planets billions of years ago and created life, which tends to evolve in the same direction based on the genetic code implanted by the biggest lifeseed corporations.
>>97259986They evolved from horseshoe crabs and their blood contains hemocyanins in the oxygen-transporting cells. Their blood is blue, their cells are blue, and even the skin pigmentation has various shades of blue.
It just werks
>>97259986It's a classic space-opera trope, like fantasy having elves and dwarves.I prefer space-babes to be more like Twi'leks and the like, where they have some nonhuman features along with the skin color instead of just being humans but blue/green. So mine are an amphibian species with tails and head-tendrils.
>>97259986Progenitor species made all sapient species to be sex slaves and worse yet they're coming back to get dibs on the sexy martian women and andromedan women and earth women.

There's a board devoted to tabletop games where 99.9% of the users have never played a single session of a game in their lives.
the paid dm defenders have always said they help people with no friends, but the last few months they are being promoted as>fun for friends>give your dm a break>let your group try a new systemim talking ginny d, reddit, forum posts, irl in-store. in all seriousness will people fall for this instead of having one of their friends dm
The argument I always hear is that they have higher production value. Minis, maps, multiple copies of the books. Or curated VTTs, music, edited recaps, and shit for virtual ones.The truth is that you're hiring an entertainer. It's not that crazy.
>>97269151It wasn't the original plan, but if I already payed for the service...
>>97270287I know a couple paid GMs, one runs 5e and the other one mostly WH stuff. The later makes more per game, the former gets more clients. For what I've heard the 5e players need to be coddled, the WH ones are kinda into getting murdered if you make it big and stupid. But I did listening on a convo with a client where the dude kept asking to pay to be better than the other players, like an extra to overshadow them. Not in a tame or jokey way, more of a >you're a retard so I'm gonna tell you how it is, I pay so I win, do you get it? I don't need the rest to have a bad time, just make me better because I'll pay more than themHe milked that dude for a while and then kicked him out.
>>97270499I used to run open games in a sort of gaming bar. Bands played in the back some nights, they had trivia and movie nights too, but the selling point were the board games and ttrpgs. On open table days they were full and having people trapped there for up to 5 hours doping mental work emptied the bar. I saw them having to get more stuff than expected and still running out. Great night for them.Now I'm in another city and there's a similar type of shop, but they charge to use their space and have few things to consume (cheap coffee machine, small fridge with non-alcoholic stuff). They also open for just 4 hours. It's empty most of the time. I joined their wassapp group and it was pretty toxic, regular GMs not offering any help and spamming dumb stuff when other people were trying to form a group. So it might be that they are being fucked over by the first people who got there. But I do believe secondary monetization works better than charging initially.

>>97269646Yeah, that is pretty damn cringe. It reminds me of Washington cities who had to put BLM signs on their windows to hope to avoid antifa smashing their stores or homes. I see see those signs up and I still think they are living in fear.I think it's pretty pathetic. Both in that the threat of these things needing to be put in ttrpgs turned out to be toothless threats and that how these writers rolled over for the softest representation of terrorism.
>>97270172Id like to belive Kevin wouldn't put that in a final version. Hes never been anti cop or military so I doubt it would make the final edit.Its a product of its time, that raw came out during the blm shit if I remember right so likely as I said it was some reddit queer hastly added it to his write up before submitting it.
>>97270057>Written by Mark Oberlehttps://rpggeek.com/rpgdesigner/18242/mark-oberleHe's written books for Palladium before but he seems to work in psychology, which is a very left-wing field even by the standards of academia. But the biggest problem with that Lazlo script isn't that it's got a small pro-BLM blurb in it; it's that it's incredibly boring. Reading the parts on law and order is mind-numbing. Lazlo is just too much of a boring goody-two-shoes lefty-liberal place so unless they spice it up with something really unique and interesting it's the last place players, or GMs, want to go. I suspect that's what is holding back the book release. Kevin looked at the manuscript and said "Where's the adventure?"
>>97270129>How many DBees are basically green people or lizard people?Half of them? I dunno, most d-bee illustrations have been B&W with only the RCC describing coloration but I only remember things visually so it's kind of random for me. I always thought Grackletooths were yellow, for example. It wasn't until Savage Rifts that we got color illustrations for a lot of things. Nice work on the tokens, riftsbro.
>>97272605Crackletooth ARE yellow
Anyone ever played this? Did you like it? Did you try any of the expansions?
>>97261050I've bough the first version some 10 years ago. It's decent enough for what it is - a simple child-friendly miniature-centric boardgame. Though nowadays I'd get Townsfolk Tussle instead, it fills the same niche better.
>>97262825>Townsfolk TussleElaborate, please. Especifically on how it's a better child-friendly miniature boardgame
>>97262096Got pics of how the minis were? Expectation vs reality
>>97261050I got that version at Origins back when it came out, played a couple games with my group, and then watched ND completely collapse under their own hubris.
>>97261050I liked the original SDE, disliked the 2nd edition FK rules, then liked it again after the 3rd edition rules that came with Devil Island.The biggest problem with the game is how much time it takes to set up. It's a ton of time to lay out all the boards, figures, cards; enough so that all the friends I'd play with often balk at starting a game because of the time commitment. I found more success with the SDE:Arena variant. For whatever reason it's easier to split the workload of setup for Arena than for Regular.

Quick post. I'm doing expert commentary at the Brujah Primogen's fighting tournament.One of the Bridgeport neo-nazis fell and broke his arm on his way to the ring.The crowd is going insane, the paramedics are all black, I'm going to be history's first final death by laughter.
>>97271530Uuuuhh is this a thing? Can all sires turn childer to dust with a gesture? Asking for a friend.
>>97273021Most sires are not masters of fleshcrafting, but there are other equally deadly and painful disciplines a Cainite could use to extinguish their unruly progeny. So... 50/50? 70/30?Heck my sire wouldn't even have to kill me to make existence an unliving hell, I could get turned into a pair of conscious boots if I do something unwise. I do not plan to do anything unwise, but they're a centuries old alien, so who knows if I even have that capacity in their eyes.
I AM FUCKING INVINCIBLE HAHAHAHAHADidn't quite beat Jesus's resurrection time, but being alive at all is a good enough result for me!>>97273021Oh, nah, not at all. It's more a general 'can a vampire do that to somebody' thing, next to no special allowance for if the target's your childe. My Sire could do that to people, if he tried and prepared for it. He usually went for boiling people's blood, or striking them with lightning, which I've taken up, as it's objectively the most impressive. Same night he got torn apart, but like thirty minutes before that, he made a werewolf's bones grow spurs and spikes until it was this skewered mess of fur, flesh, organs, and very angry, growling, somehow just barely alive skeleton with innards falling out. The wolf obviously didn't live very long after, but it was a sight. Not sure how he did it, exactly. I'll be putting effort into figuring it out.From what I've backread while listening to a woman who likes fishnets too much cackle at me and my overall misfortune, your Sire can probably just skewer you in a blink of an eye, so she kinda-technically qualifies under 'dust with a gesture'.

>>97272310I never understood why people expected that to be the reason we would have had a different ending, it was pretty explicit it was just Maris breaking you down and making you let her do her plan, wich was immediately after opposed by Olga giving you back fighting spirit.Anyway I'm expecting a new scenario?
