>>97269548I can't fucking wait for LotR to enter public domain so some faggot can write a book about Goldilocks Gamgee and how she was the product of rape after Frodo, corrupted by his time with the ring, forced himself on Rosie. Then someone will make a hit musical out of it and it will eventually become more popular than the original.

>>97257974I already posted the link that showed OP to be a retard here, which means anyone posting between then and now is a fucking retard and you deserve how shit this place has become.

>>97273207That is sick as hell
>>97282661>Anyway to minimize?Not that I know of. Maybe painting in very small patches and letting each patch dry completely before moving on to a patch on the opposite side of the piece. Or slowly "drybrushing" the whole piece and never truly having a pile of wet paint on it at any point.
>>97282661People prime cardboard for oil painting and stuff but it's a whole multilayer process .You could probably cut down on some of it because this isn't going to be for traditional art but you'll have to experiment yourself on how many corners you can cut.

>>97282979Is there a slop writing thread?

>>97284963>>97284951Is it a thread where you can post what did you write with AI or rather a thread for bitching about chatbots?
>>97285062There’s a whole lot of the latter, mostly arguing about which ones are best and complaining about updates (or lack there of). But you can definitely post things you write with AI and might get some comments on it.
How is it? Looks bretty fun
>>97277131What's with people saying Zona Alfa is undercooked?
>>97279793But only for the background. Because there is noy a basic street in the front.
>>97282277Its not really undercooked so much as the setting lends itself to things like Stalker, Metro, Mad Max etc. Even a Fallout game without a retarded amount of cards and tokens. Zona Alfa is a great game in it's own right.
>>97284206What's the deal with Kontraband? And do you find the system works better with coop, as introduced by Kontraband?I love stalker but not sure if I could get my friends to come along... Yet
>>97284413Definitely worth getting. Even if just for the expanded POIs. If you're only playing it against other players then you don't really need it. Kontraband really just expands upon the survival/looting mechanics. It does shift the focus away from combat a little, but when you do have an encounter you can very easily get your shit pushed in if you're unlucky. That being said, if you're playing it solo and have a squad with a good balanced set of gear/skills its actually easier than playing coop and relying on your teammates to do the right thing.
Redneck EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: Which artists do you think drew the best elves?

They look like someone who will either kills himself in some mad dash (like Anakin in RoTS) or run away crying.Marauder walker from Starship troopers (and from Battletech as well) looks menacing, this one: >>97284916 fails to accomplish it.

>>97285007You have no point. If you think that the Eldar should look like shit from battletech etc you are clearly fucking retarded and entirely miss the point of what their design is going for. Eldar design clearly aims for elegance, beauty, semi organic and flowing forms as well as generally looking fast and graceful over being some bulky boxes and slabs of armor we see in example on imperial designs.
Mages and wizards of /tg/, make your predictions for 2026! What will happen in the RPG-verse? Do it now before it happens!
>>97284605Not him but>A link about some nobody cuckservative calling out kikes for onceBruh. No shit you're offended by someone else pointing neo-nazis out.>WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN, THOUGH?lol
>>97284724First explain to me how the link points specifically to neonazi, be my guest. Second even if that's the case why matters that some nobody in ttrpgs is le scary neonazi, unless there's a significant movement systemically acting in seizing the hobby (as in controlling the majority share of production and leading actors in the scene) why would that affect anything about you. Some retard with a retard opinion is making a meme game somewhere? Do you get my point faggot?Literally every major game and the overwhelming majority of indie production ships sensitivity pamphlet, safety tools and self censor themselves accordingly to amerlard current year sensibilities, how the fuck there's even a "neonazi" problem in this goddamn hobby? Explain that to me you disingenuous piece of shit.
>>97284319Not in any significant numbers, and definitely not coming from the link you provided.
>>97284724>he thinks calling out kikes in 2025-26 means you're neonaziI didn't know antifa, ngos and propal groups were neonazis bro.
>you can't be angry or even annoyed that reactionary conservatives are going either full neo fascism or full neo nazi>only WE the BASED chuds are allowed to reeeeee at everything that wasnt the norm in my grandpa's small town >also you re trans and a kike or whatever the new flavour of the month is popular in pol these daysyou people as so fucking tiresome besides being complete subhumansbtw i predict that things in the us will be far far worse this year so we will get a lot more reactionaries venting and ranting about conservative bulshit making it the worst year for the board to date.GW will keep shitting out extremely overpriced product people will keep buying it and the crowd here will keep screaming into the voiddnd will do absolutely nothing of note, maybe one irrelevant splat the osr hype will keep dying down the nu tactical combat rpgs that also wanna have some narrative pretensions like 13th age 2e and mcdmrpg will be the new trend and keep getting hyped and pushed while being absolute trash

>>97282137YJ probably has the least shitty resculpts and n4/n5 sculpts compared to the rest of the catalogue. JSA is close behind them, but I'm personally not a fan of some of their models. Either way, you can't go wrong with either.

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!!!!!"
>>97283372>The more intelligent you are and the more you value your intelligence, the more vulnerable you are to Lovecraft's horrors.What if you're intelligent and place value on said intelligence, but aren't so arrogant to think that what you know is the definitive "truth"? Like what if your response to finding out that much of what you thought to be true about physics, history or the universe is wrong, is akin to "oh, ok... cool, guess I get to learn a bunch of new stuff now! Cool!" Does that stop you from going mad, or does that just lead to knowledge that is beyond the understanding of mortal minds, which is an insanity driver?
>>97284649>optimists are, by law, disallowed of feeling bad or suicidalwhat fucking hypocrites...
>>97281870Maybe because those are different genres, retard. Why did you make a thread to ask such a stupid question?
>>97284870>jumping to an illogical extreme over nothing...you don't know what "optimistic" means, do you?I know you won't bother answering, and will just cry "semantics semantics", though, so just save us both some time and energy, and fuck off.
>>97284989oooh, I must have struck a nerve theremy favorite pastime is finding rabid atheists who consider themselves the pinnacles of reason and logic, and pester them until I find the one thing (actually one hundred, atheists aren't really logical) they have an emotional reaction to and then constantly bring it up until they commit suicide. Seeing people who claim to be coldly logical turn into a screaming, emotional mess gives me a hard cock. Care to make my hard cock soft again?
why are many creators so afraid of making a setting with napoleonic wars era technology?
>>97285005Despite the Napoleonic fanboys' delusional talk, it's not a popular period among normies and hobbyists-lite. The warfare of that era becomes too complex for your average DnD-tier nerd to understand, the period is not hitting you with the "individual heroes and deeds" vibes like the medieval period for example. The easy answer therefore is, it wouldn't sell because your average fantasy consumer is a fantasy consumer and you don't need a genius to create a story of sword-swinging murder-hobos adventuring.

>>97281956Excellent! Thanks!
It honestly chaps my ass>>97281956 so much that Stone Masters dont make TW equipment, nor do their own TW variant. I mean they supposedly were the first
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.

>>97284121wow, and I thought the memes about theatershit were just memes. this is like if you asked someone on tg what they think narrative games are like. if you had posted this with no context i would have assumed it was a parody without a second thought.
>>97284837No, but that'd be funny as shit. Nah, I'm screencapping it just so people don't have to touch the book or pdf.>>97284939I know, right?

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.
>>97283385>Don't start in the briefing, start in the plane about to halo-drop into the hot zone. If possible, start in media res. This is a perfectly sensible way to start a campaign, and isn't "railroading."If you have an actual game like this, the GM should make a ready loadout for the players. In a dungeon game part of the fun is how prepared the team is but in a milsim game nobody wants to hear "what do you mean nobody brought detcord and C4?"
>>97278784>Introduce factions>have factions be represented by NPCs that the players actually interact withThis will write a good 40% of sessions for you.Just introduce a bunch of factions and let the NPCs that represent them have history and conflict with one another.
>>97282893I'll post more if you actually engage with any of the questions.
>>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.
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 notTC 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.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97283870I think that anon meant it is considered "edgy" for americans but for us europeans it's mostly seen as religious satire
>>97283603You don't need to lie to me bro I already know it's borderline nothing "yes but if you look it from this angle and you squint it kinda looks..."It's "non female degrading-approved", that's the point the anon was makingIt's edgy, but it's a kind of non-offensive edgystop
For us kitbashers and crazy printers, how much do you try to abide by WSYWIG?I make an honest attempt, because the base models I use a relatively cheap, so I can afford to use bits to glam them up and make what I want for different scenarios.
>>97284800Its 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.
>>97275133>You’re not allowed to point out a company doing shitty things>look I got fucked and I dont even care!
