For the Sharpshooter I would suggest letting it use a variation of the predestination prophecy where only it can attack once the condition is met, but it can do so without LoS and with a damage buff. Sevenfold Sharpshooter or something like that.>ElephantsIt is a bit of a kludge, but you could combine the profiles and add an addendum saying that two elephants constitute one elite for the purposes of the elite counter. I have done that repeatedly for units.>Gas Masks as traitsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97238006Something like this?>Seventhfold SharpshooterSecretly note down an Enemy or Hostile model, a hex and publicly note an upcoming turn. If at any point in the noted turn the noted model enters the noted Hex, interrupt its activation, and the “Lemurian Sharpshooter” resolves as many ranged shots as it has available (if it has 4 shots, do 4 attacks; if it has 2 shots, do 2 attacks; if it has to reload, nothing happens). The “lemurian sharpshooter” still needs to be within its range to do so.
Merry christmas, everyone!

>>97238566The color differences makes sense. Sounds like you make the lore of your Imperial fleet to be a rag tag band of different planets forces joining up.>low-points I think thats when a BFG game worked the best. I remember that a 1500 game takes too long.
>>97241303my sister got the new BB box for our 13 y/o nephew for christmas, and it has been an absolutely miserable experience for everyone involved. to me, a 13 y/o boy that is obsessed with boardgames should be the perfect audience for this, and I have no idea how GW expects this to be a product for anything but their core audiencekid saw the box and was excited AF, looks like an awesome fantasy sports board game, with awesome miniatures. opens the box, sees that the rulebook is a literal 100 page tome compared to the quick-play booklets you get in a typical board game. then he's met with the horrible reality of GW products: a handful of unpainted plastic sprues. kid is absolutely wtf'd by now. then I explain that we need to go buy cutters and plastic glue for it (my sister obviously had no idea one would need fucking tools to play this game). luckily for us there was a stationary store nearby and we found some semi-passable tools to work with. we then spent the next 3 hours cutting sprues, and the miniatures are a nightmare to assemble, with miniscule pieces that have no obvious way to fit together. there was an instruction manual that helped, but only so much. by the end of the process I swear the kid was about to cry. we had just spent basically the entirety of christmas day just assembling this shit (stopping to eat in-between and stuff), and by the end we didn't even get to play because it was getting late and we had dinner plansI will try to get a game in with him tomorrow, but I dread having to teach him the rules. I haven't looked into the rulebook yet, but am absolutely hoping that they have a small boardgame-style booklet or something so that we can quickly get into the game without having to read 20 pages of rules. all-in-all, what the fuck GW, have you completely lost sight of your target audience? are you out of your mind?
>>97242206>GW, have you completely lost sight of your target audience?Yes.>are you out of your mind?You bought, get bent, numbers go up :^)
>>97242242yes I guess that's the sad reality. btw, wait until tomorrow when I tell the kid that he has to buy a bunch of paints and brushes for this shit, and the final result will be nothing like the pictures on the box. for a casual consumer, the box is complete false marketing
Genuine question, do BFG players actually like the old sculpts? Even back in the 2000s (roughly the time period between 4th and 5th of 40K) and I went into shops and saw the BFG blister packs, I thought the imperial ship models looked like metal lumps of shit, and they haven't changed much since then.

For the combat people in world of darkness I have a question from lack of perspective. How much stamina do you need to survive in combat?For example, as a werewolf you can regenerate health level per round if you're lucky. Vampires can get extra soak with fortitude. Mages can buff with enough time or spheres. The other splats are niche enough they have a benefit as well.So how much soak you need in general to just survive most combats without getting flatten. I know offense seems to be better than defense.

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.

Is it finally over for scalpers?
The funny thing is that a lot of scalpers are millennials, but everyone is getting tired of it. New rules will be put in place to fuck them over and they will have nothing to do. "Hmm yes it seems you bought up all the childrens cards in the area....hmmm you might be able to be a fry cook'
I work at a Walmart in the midwest, and there are only automated limits put in place, per transaction. Usually 4 per same item. However, there is nothing stopping a cashier from just doing multiple transactions of the same cards. Might flag something in the system eventually, but I have yet to see it.My manager doesn't really care about scalpers and re-salers, so there's always this group of arabs that come in and buy the whole set of laptops that just went on clearance, just so they can sell them online for 2x/3x the clearance price. Wish we could tell them to kick rocks, but Walmart only cares about "number go up!" and other self-destructive behavior.
They'll just scalp something else. I saw a guy buy over 200 pounds of ground beef at a supermarket and excitedly tell me about how he was going to flip it on a local buying/selling app. I wonder if he still has a freezer full of it.
>>97242128I've been flipping meats for the past 4 months since I got put down to part-time hours at my work.
>>97239919>I work at a Walmart in the midwestmy condolences, having to deal with niggers on a daily basis must be hell.
do you use character portraits in your game?how do you get them? do you use any websites\generators? do you use AI? how do you prompt it?
>>97242058the "8 fingers", "climate change" and "copyright" arguments are all kind of bad, but that's because it's people with a human soul trying to come up with gay liberal world view reasons to logically explain why something they intuitively know is bad is bad, while soulless people just can't see it and don't care.
>>97242093unironic Luddism lolyou don't remember the scare about digital illustrations do you
>>97242101Yea they were right, digital art fucking blows compared to water color or oils. And yes, the luddites talking about the camera being bad for art were also right. And yes, the original luddites were also right. The luddites are almost always right, humans will just habitually choose convenience and ease over happiness and quality, and then we act like we're shocked when we live in an age of widespread meaninglessness.
>>97241982Still doesn't look like it.
>>97230620I so far have used one every time. Sometimes I have drawn them myself, others I just have used something I found online. I have been experimenting with AI in cases where I didn't find anything fitting or had a too specific idea. I also liked using Charakter-Editors for a while. Here is a little collage of those that I have used over the years - rate or hate I guess.

>>97239131I use google slides.
>>97239163That change makes sense. But mounting a party member is so obviously not RAI that regardless of whether or not it's RAW you need you DM approval to do it anyway.
>>97241524If the party member is a Druid in Wild Shape, that's a way to get around that with the DM having no say against it. And if it's a Moon Druid, the action could be an encounter-defining concentration spell, the bonus action could be to transform into something with low AC, but useful action options, like the restrain-on-hit that many beasts have.
If I want to play Rogue, am I forced to hide and attack every time? Or something like that? I've never actually played one, and I've never seen anyone play it at my table either.
>>97242300You can shoot people who are in melee with your allies, play Swashbuckler, use steady aim, shank people who are prone, or yes, use the hide action.
Guys, I want to talk about HELLPIERCERS. I bought this game a bit ago because I thought it looked cool, and I've read it, and I don't know enough people weird enough to play it with me, and I can't stop thinking about it, and I just have to talk about it with someone.>First up: what the fuck is Hellpiercers? And why do you spell it in all-caps? Do you have autism?HELLPIERCERS is a tactical tabletop RPG developed by SandyPug Games alongside a few people who did some dev work on some of the Lancer supplements. It casts the PCs as gnostic demigod heroes and veterans of the War in Heaven, who aided the forces of humanity in regaining their stolen gnosis and slaying the Demiurge, his Archons, and angelic generals. Having conquered Heaven and liberated the mortal plane from the tyranny of false divinity, they now cast their eyes downward, into Hell, where countless human souls remain enslaved by the demon lords below. Hellpiercers, armed with their god-slaying weapons, clad in armor forged from the corpses of angels, lead a war of liberation against the forces of Hell, to free the enslaved souls of every human who has ever lived.I spell it in all-caps because it's title is rendered in all-caps. I'm pretty sure I'm not autistic, but I've never been tested, so who even fucking knows?
>>97241802Thousand Year Reign Shattering Blade is the most modal (and therefor fiddly) weapon in the game. In practice, most unlockable weapons have less-varied effects. The blade is supposed to be old reliable, so it works with everything.As for the lock system, every option costs resources, which you get from achieving objectives in STRATCOM and TACCOM.
>>97241953Upgrades work on a tech tree, and each one unlocks either new options or whole new subsystems. This is just a few of them. The game starts at a relatively-low rules intensity, and increases rapidly the more shit you unlock. The unlocks are always at the table's discretion, so you never have to get anything new until and unless you're comfortable with what you already have.
>>97235095>…tactical…Lancer…gnostic…tyranny…grid-based tactical combat…the GM is also building up resources…Sounds awful
It looks so soulless and derivative. Even AI could do a better job. Fucking hate chthonian paracausal biblically accurate LBGTGRIWEOHRDSOFH+ trash.
For as much yip-yap that /tg/ players have about hating trannies and basedboys the games that actually get play is mostly just OSR games and that is just a mildly more edgy version of 5e.Not that your game looks very good either, not much of a Lancer fan.

This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318
I'm 100% sure that if you introduced normies to d&d via an osr game that they'd somehow catch onto the fact it's not 5e and then get mad that it's not "real d&d"
