>>97205120I'm surprised there's no mech suit item or orbital platform / ship item? Also the Need More Guns item talks about how your sidearm won't stay effective for long but there's nothing to suggest you actually *have* a side. The "skin against the world" option for humans is only the encounter suit / armor, it doesn't state it comes with a weapon of any sort. I also think it's sort of strange that the Need More Gun option actually has *less* guns than it originally did, since it used to include an SMG. Personally I'd suggest adding an automatic rifle / machine gun to the Need More Guns and actually clarifying that a sidearm & ammo comes with the "a skin against the world" item.In the "keep off the grass" perk it says "sign is your vision" when I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "sign in your vision".
>>97206530I thought about the mech suit, but there was already spidertron. I could offer a choice between them. For guns, I suppose it's a matter of preference but there's only so many you can carry. I considered a space platform or even copies of planets as warehouse attachments, but didn't add them. I might need a way to provide the more advanced resources the chest doesn't provide though. type fixed.

How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97196423you don't?you just make it more than a cogflop aestheticlots of "steampunk" settings are pretty popular or have a positive cult following>console gameschrono trigger incorporates time travel and advanced tech, final fantasy 6 has some lovecraftian becoming god type stuff, final fantasy is general has tons of stuff like this with the airships and low tech firearms alongside engines and swordsthere's also dishonoured, arcanum as op posted, usually asian settings incorporate stuff more if I think about it, lots of anime also has a steampunk style like nausicaayou can also sprinkle technology and have it go through advances like Edge Chronicles
>>97207230>Does it though? The line gets blurry when you consider Frankenstein or your own examples of mesmerism and the like.Those aren't really mystical or occult so much as they are fringe science, the monster of Frankenstein being partially inspired by real life experiments involving electricity for example. >If it's forgotten then it ain't tradition.And that's why you get "mediums" to contact ancient spirits of Tibetan Sages and Atlantis priest kings so they can pass "the secret teaching" to you.
>>97207260>Those aren't really mystical or occult so much as they are fringe scienceThe way I see it the main difference between becoming invisible with the power of fringe science or by accessing the secrets of Xibablba is the age of the source of the knowledge. One is cutting edge and the other ancient. Both are pushing beyond the the accepted boundaries of science and tradition. Is that distinction important enough warrant a thematic struggle between the two or make them incompatible in the same setting as the original poster implied?
>>97207308>The way I see it the main difference between becoming invisible with the power of fringe science or by accessing the secrets of Xibablba is the age of the source of the knowledge.That makes sense. But there's also the relationship that these beliefs have with truth, one believes that you can measure and understand the whole universe, the other wants to directly experience the truth through mystical means.>Is that distinction important enough warrant a thematic struggle between the two or make them incompatible in the same setting as the original poster implied?Sure, it's a dispute over the fundamental nature of reality itself, as well as two distinct ways of seeing the world, that can be an interesting conflict, and I think it's important to steampunk in particular.
>>97207374Again. I don't see that much of a difference. Both the ways you present of understanding the world(direct experience and the the scientific method, which btw are not at odds with each other) are explored in Lovecrafts works. Gaining too much, or forbidden knowledge through science or occultism lead to same results ( at least as far as Lovecraft is concerned). The existence of truth as monistic, eternal and attainable is rooted in mysticism (Parmenides poem On Nature) and has been the foundation of science from its very beginning. After all they seem to fill the same void in humanity as both occultism and the belief that science would solve every problem were popular at the same time. In WWII and even in the cold war all the major powers were really into both occultism and scientific research.

>>97206659I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not, but yes you've proven my point.
>>97206570Techmarines are such a cheap investment to keep your vehicles functioning, it's only 50 points to bring one. You'd be a fool not to at that point.
>>97206902yeah that's the flaw in the "just status tanks" school of strategy... for 240 points you can ally in a mechanicum army of a machinator array magos with 3+3 battlesmithing (3 status and 3 hull or 6 status or 6 hull) and 4 tech priests (all four have battlesmith-2). That's enough for the Magos to make your kratos or landraider basically untouchable and the 4 priests to babysit your other lesser dreadnoughts and lesser tanks and transports. Sure if the enemy deepstrikes in 300 points of stuff he can snipe a 30 point techpriest so his status will stick on a Vindicator, but then he's committed all the points of deepstrike (which are stuck off-board turn 1) and all the points for the status inflicters, and it's still a bit of a gamble.And it doesn't help that units you might think should kill priests, like a seeker squad, have such amazingly useful guns that you don't want a seeker squad shooting a 30 point techpriest hidden behind the landraider. You want them melting terminators with breaching4+ precision kraken rounds.They didn't do a good job with the meta-game in 3rd. Middle of the road anti-tank is pretty much 100% useless. Either you go super-ultra rapier + melta kratos + other antitank and spend half your army on anti-tank or you might as well bring zero anti-tank and simply invest the points in a sacrificial roadblock unit the cataphract are Supposed to kill jumping out of the landraider, then counter-charge with your cataphract-killing squad afterwards.
>>97206948Seekers are actually kinda trash at melting terminators. Str 4 means they only wound termies on a 5+ and they need at least 2 wounds for a chance at killing a terminator.Just take a castraferrum dreadnought with two gravis plasma cannons. Almost half the point cost, same chance of AP 2 wounds when you overcharge (no reason not to) but also wounds on 2+ and 2 damage means each failed save is one dead terminator No I will not shut up about plasma mortis boxnoughtsSeekers are more for sniping sergeants, nuncio vox and characters, or applying pinning.

Has anyone here actually played Marching Order? The game seems to have been scrubbed in favor of the 2e kickstarter and I can’t find any real reviews or actual plays, only people browsing through the rules in a videoAnd the project was funded over a year ago and still isn’t even close to being finished?

I've never successfully played a tabletop rpg solo, but game books like Buffalo Castle worked great. Putting energy into determining details on my own causes my brain to give up and deflate on me. I probably just need to practice more and get used to doing the work, but man is it hard at first.
>>97124453>>97124941>>97125124>>97127631>>97129773Okay, I think I got something for the middle result, inspired by Broken Tales' solo mode.>Maybe. The Player can decide between the Yes or No effect, but each time after that, they will have to choose the option they didn’t choose on the previous occurrence.Taking that into account, I think I got something for adjudicating weird edge cases.>If logic dictates that there can only be binary outcomes, nudge this result to one direction.My idea for the oracle is that it isn't just for Yes/No inquiries, but the results can also be for intensity, amount of X over Y, etc. Kinda like the ABS12 oracles or Motif, except I use 2d6 for fancy bell curve nonsense. This is still just a thought exercise.
Why is it that so many fantasy writers make their evil cults unjoinable by anyone with a functioning brain cell? Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide? Why would you worship Tzeentch if he’s probably gonna screw YOU over as part of his grand plan?What makes it so bizarre to me is that, firstly, it’s not like they need to be so off-putting to be evil. Orcus is a demon of undeath, his followers want to turn their enemies into the undead. Tzeentch wants the world to be in a constant cycle of chaos, his followers are gonna be masterminding world wars.Secondly, it’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples of real-world evil cults. A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satan, but are fucked-up offshoots of Christianity. Historically, goetia was practiced by people who would’ve still called themselves Christians, while committing rituals to summon and get boons from demons. Plenty of human cultures used to sacrifice humans to their gods, not to summon them to kill everyone or some shit, but to honor and/or appease them.Like to use another example from Warhammer, I think Nurgle and Khorne present more “approachable” evil cults. Nurgle is toxic positivity, and his love will take all the pain away. Khorne is wrapped up in enough language about honor to lure people in.Like to rework an evil deity, let’s pick Lamashtu. Instead of “We love ugliness and miscarriages and also you get to die in childbirth”, the cult targets vulnerable young women and lures them in with divine feminine language (“You have the power to bear and raise great beasts”), while promising the young men of monstrous races frustrated living among humans that what they’re scorned for is what makes them powerful (and also they get to have sex with pretty girls).
>>97160877If you can trick people into cutting off their perfectly functional genitalia and tattoo demonic sigils into their skins, then it wouldn't be so hard to get some idiots to join an evil cult. Never underestimate human stupidity.
Might as well answer this with my own evil cult:>You are a disgraced daimyo on the verge of losing an important war; you, your family and your vassals will all be massacred>A dark power gives you a choice: either do nothing and face your imminent doom or make a dark pact and gain the power to protect your family and regain honor in the eyes of your shogun>You accepted the deal? Great, now you and your vassals will become the most powerful swordsmen in all the land, but your souls have been claimed by an ancient demon king.Desperation drove my villain into making a deal with something that he didn't fully understand. The villain has gone mad from willingly dooming his clan to being possessed by skin-wearing demons.
>>97201845>Now imagine being myopically, solipsistically evilNobody wants to see himself evil. There are many other reasons to join some evil cult. For example, that's what is told us by Willd Durant:The most terrible of the gods were under the earth. In caves and clefts and like nether chambers dwelt those chthonian or earthly deities whom the Greeks worshiped not by day with loving adoration, but at night with apotropaic rites of riddance and fear. These vague nonhuman powers were the real autochthonoi of Greece, older than the Hellenes, older perhaps than the Mycenaeans, who probably transmitted them to Greece; if we could trace them to their origin we might find that they were the vengeful spirits of the animals that had been driven into the forests or under the soil by the advance and multiplication of men. The greatest of these subterranean deities was called Zeus Chthonios; but Zeus here meant merely god. Or he was called Zeus Meilichios, the Benevolent God; but here again the words were deceptive and propitiatory, for this god was a fearful snake. Brother to Zeus was Hades, lord of the underworld that took his name. To placate him the Greeks called him Pluto, the giver of abundance, for he had it in his power to bless or blight the roots of all things that grew in the soil. Still more ghostly and terrible was Hecate, an evil spirit that came up from the lower world and brought misfortune, through her evil eye, to all whom she visited. The less learned Greeks sacrificed puppies to keep her away.
>>97207018>Nobody wants to see himself evilPlenty of theistic satanists openly acknowledge themselves to be evil and revel in it. I've personally met some.
>>97160877The thing about the Chaos gods is that they are supposed to embody all aspects of their particular theme not just the negatives.Like Khorne is the god of violence and destruction but he is also the god of martial prowess and warrior's honor, heck I'm not sure if it's still canon but it used to be that his followers killing defenseless innocents would piss off Khorne because there was no glory or skill in it.Slaanesh is the god of extreme degeneracy but he is also the god of things like romance so for example if some kindly couple in the universe falls in love and has a family he also draws strength from it despite it being an act of pure wholesomeness and him ostensibly being an "evil" god.Nurgle is the god not just of death and disease but rebirth and the cycle of life in general.Tzeentch is probably the least outright "bad" of the Chaos gods because he is simply the god of knowledge and wisdom and planning. Not to mention that unlike Khorne, who was born during a period of lots of wars amongst mankind, or Nurgle, who was born during the time of plague, or Slaanesh, who was born due to the Eldar having a galaxy-wide murder-orgy, Tzeentch was born during a time of great scientific advancement in human civilization which is relatively benign compared to the other three.

>>97206294It looks like shovels are one-handed but they aren't a weapon, only equipment. My understanding is that you can only use it as a weapon if you're wielding it with two hands, which turns it into a Double-Handed Blunt Weapon.It's kinda disappointing actually, shovels were used a lot in WW1 even as weapons. If I were you I would just use a shovel and have it act like a Trench Club so you can use it as a one-handed weapon
