Hope that guy who posted in the counter-culture thread drops his ideas on here, sounds interesting.

>>97346250
My hot take on fixing it is a bit complicated. First, you have a Maximum ceiling on your power stat, & you have whatever temporary/shifting level your power stat is based on different factors.

Age (as long as you are ACTIVE) will slowly grow your Maximum. Torpor will by the same metric lowers your power stat (but not your Maximum, you can always return to it)

The most known & used way besides age of increasing your power stat is "Blood Patronage" where a powerful vampire can upgrade you to the powerlevel you'd be as if they had embraced you. To translate to VtM terms a 4th generation vampire could perform "Blood Patronage" to an up & coming 7th Gen & they would become a 5th Gen. This encourages Elder dicksucking & the whole top down nature of vampire society.

Another method is pseudo diablerie where you can hunt creatures with higher "power stats" than you & absorb them. This can also let you steal powers & abilities of these creatures. Some vampires like Brujah & Gangrel make a name for themselves, not through patient centuries or sycophant behavior, but from felling shapeshifters or other creatures that roam the night. There's not much difference between this method & diablerie, though the creatures you hunt rarely effect your psyche.

The other method is "Glutting." This is where you pile up more corpses than a cartel hit. If you drain like a hundreds bodies in single night you would also build up your ceiling.

These methods build up your ceiling, but with some meditation or torpor you can lower it. To get back to your ceiling you just need some time/meditation or a lot of blood (though not as much as Glutting) I kind of always think back to movies & whatnot of group waking up an Elder like Viktor in underworld where when he wakes up he's got to take some time & absorb some blood to get back to "normal"

I think this is the one NEA used against me in our game.

>>97346644
Yeah that looks like the smart money. The only mech other than the Exterminator that out-armors it at that speed that isn't a quad is the Morpheus and I'm not about to start running a bunch of solaris fits for my mech-techs to fuck up. Besides the Streak 6 gets me some of the crit-seeking I'm missing. Plus I'm a sucker for MASC.

Thanks chief.

Ill give that a try, I just wanted to be able to see the bottem with skulls and what not.

1e or 2e? 1e is a few steps more on the simulationist side since it gives more hard numbers on some things, but both are pretty narrative. 1e combat is also starts getting broken when epic dex above 3 comes into play and it just gets more shattered as it goes.

does the rail gun in this game:

They were one of the last holdouts, but have been switching to resin and plastic with mixed results for the past few years.

>>97344652
Might be. I think it's mainly from how the website selling Cryx forces describes their situation as
>"Stirred to rise from its deathly slumber through insidious bargains wrought by the Orgoth, a terrible new power stirs on the edge of the Iron Kingdoms."
Which could either mean they dug up more Orgoth tech, or like how other people are interpreting it to men they made a bargain with the Orgoth Sea Raiders to conquer the mainland together.

There's a ton of lore for MK4, its just all paywalled in the app. Which, I know a lot of people are mad about, but I mean, come on, is paying $15 for a month's access and downloading all the stories any worse than paying for several $15+ books for the stories? Or just do the yearly to get your uber monstrosity and take your time downloading the lore. Still stuck reading off of a screen, which sucks, but better then no lore.

They are. Orgoth killed Blightergast and gave his Anthanc to Toruk as a trade for an alliance.

I wanted to do a WFRP game set in mordheim because I loved that game, but thinking about it more what can I do so it isn't a constant combat slog?

There are still places to go that aren't immediately dangerous, taverns inns and shops still exist, they're simply more run down and likely to be of ill repute. The whole place isn't a smoking ruin filled with wyrdstone that you battle some dudes over (only most of it), consider the post-game where you explore without incident, go shopping and search for veterans.

Nice to see mods ban people who try to keep Perrynigger away while literally allowing him to ruin and run wild with his off topic historical spam. The janitors on this board are legit worse than useless niggers and I hope perrynigger has a heart attack for for subjecting us to his vile hatred. Incredible what one loser can accomplish in damaging a community. I’m off to better forums where people like him aren’t allowed to shit all over everyone.

>Why don't zombies eat each other?
Depends on the setting. It's usually this:
>>97300650
>They don't register as food to each other.
Because usually, zombies are driven to "eat" living humans as a vector for infection, not as a nutrient source.

This sort of thing is why I realised this inane question threads aren't for any actual purpose, at least not for locals. If you can answer this question with multiple answers yourself already, then you don't need the thread, but if you're a retard and you can't answer the question yourself, then the thread is also redundant because you clearly don't have the mental capability to benefit from the thread anyway. It's like a creative catch 22.

Which then makes me think what is it actually for? Why do people make artificial pointless threads? Training AI? Stealing content for YouTube? Trying to disguise how few of us real posters are left? I can certainly see why most creatives jumped ship years ago.

>Everything that you have said regarding it so far has affirmed my concerns that players will bitch and moan about "optional" mechanics at the expense of players who want to actually use these systems.

NTA, but maybe the answer is to cut down on these optional systems if they're causing friction? Red has a problem where it doesn't know if it wants to be a hard, crunch focused game or a loose narrative game and those two design principles often butt heads.

I don't think putting invention in a separate splat is necessary, but it is odd that the Tech has an ability that basically gives the Player carte blanche to break the game when Red is typically very anal about combat balance and all the Tech's other abilities are pretty balanced.

I am not confident you are doing this on purpose so I'm trying not to chew out your entrails, but the answer to the problem of 'people keep wanting to cut systems' being 'you should cut systems' is textbook begging the question and I'm about a minute away from actually fucking tweaking over it.

Without the ability to make new stuff, Tech is just a slow Fixer with a bunch of extra skill points and the ability to fix their armor for a fight and no social skills.

>Without the ability to make new stuff, Tech is just a slow Fixer with a bunch of extra skill points and the ability to fix their armor for a fight and no social skills.
This has a really simple solution: Don't put Tech in core. Only introduce it alongside its complex subsystem.

I feel like Fallout isn't the same thing at all.
Fallout has some lore, some depth and some decent entries but nowhere near the quantity of WH and the last thing hardcore fans of the series genuinely care about came out 15 fucking years ago. Fanbase was barely alive anyway. Bethesda turned the setting it into pretty much a franchise that exists only to push merch and low quality products a long time ago and the TV series was exactly that, also clearly aimed at normie-normies

Meanwhile 40k still has very large, active and alive communities that are going to get flooded and gradually morphed into something largely different. TV show secondaries will probably be largely deflected, but game secondaries from Total War or DoW4 often do try to stick around and get into fandom, despite usually sticking out like a sore thumb

This >>97345424, it's a shit show even in master duel, a simulator that is more or less on rails. IRL people used all kinds of shit to keep track of the effects they already used, not to mention that setting up the board was also a nightmare, a single mistake meant you'd go s:p pass instead of 2-3 archetypal boss monsters, s:p and protos/colossus plus steeds.
