>>97402522>causes DNA to unleash a supervirus that wipes out most life on earth in the Weaver Ascendant apocalypse scenario!While the virus is extremely effective, it only targets Fera and their Kinfolk and it's actually too effective. It kills off any Fera community that it touches too quickly for it to spread and often burns out before it's able to be spread by carriers to another community.With the exception of Ratkin, because they just laugh and say 'fuck you' to literally any sort of disease, the Reaper Virus included.

>>97401752Injuries aren't that much of a problem, given that they can use blood to heal like vampires do? Aggravated is admittedly a bitch but still doable, and there are gifts that offer a less resource-intensive option.The more experienced ones have ways around aging, too, with the possibility to just hijack a fresh body.
>the next BBEG in your campaign is a coomer that goes around kidnapping and mind controlling women for his harem, and literally that’s it.Does your party even care? Does your setting/game system even care? Assume that the BBEG is an adequate challenge and difficulty for your setting and party (whether it’s Exalted or DND or Rogue Trader or whatever, and the villain is always the right difficulty level for your party whether you’re lvl 1 or lvl 20 or a weenie or a Solar, the scale is perfect).Basically is this guy a problem you and your crew would want to fix in whatever game you’re playing.If he isn’t, what would it take to make him be a problem? A bigger bounty or reward? A personal friend that got turned into a harem slave?
I think the OPs only problem is that the thread is presenting this guy as a campaign main villain instead of a side villain that is still important to deal with.Otherwise, the way the OP’s premise is structured is the best way I’ve seen on /tg/ to posit a game system agnostic hypothetical that easily dodges the “my setting/game setting doesn’t do that/this is above or below my setting/system” contrarian fags that would rather complain in a thread not meant for them rather than just ignore the thread entirely.
>>97392676>the next BBEG in your campaign is a coomer that goes around kidnapping and mind controlling women for his haremAbduction, sexual assault/ rape, enslavement and mind control are all serious crimes>literally that’s itWhat do you mean "thats it"? Its already more than enough for him to get on the kill list>Does your party even care?Yes, the party is aligned with the local kingdom and shall punish one who abducts and mind controls the kings subjects>Does your setting/game system even care?Yes. Most settings care about kidnapping and enslavement>Basically is this guy a problem you and your crew would want to fix in whatever game you’re playing.Yes, he shall be killed and his victims freed
>>97402169You could flavor it however you want. Use Radiant Idol as the template. A good one might not go after women of influence and instead save the doomed and incorporate them: sick wives, damsels in distress, lame beggars and whores. His charming aura might be making them compliant, but his intention is improving their lives and humanity in general.An evil one might take those he deems as the best stock, using flat out domination magic to enrapture them and purloin them for his self centered utopia.
>>97402719have you considered that we could use less system agnostic survey threads
>>97403318Maybe, but those other guys format theirs in a stupid way that invite criticism or teardown.The only thing that can be criticized in this OP is the actual taste of the faggot original poster with his shitty magical realm. The way he asked people to engage it is actually pretty cool.

>>97403349Cathay in the game has male and female only units, which ties into the harmony mechanic. All your regular warriors and stuff are dudes, but everything firearm related (crane gunners, the dragon shotguns, grenade throwers, ...) has female models. I think in the fluff the moon empress was involved with gunpowder or whatever, so they became associated with femininity and Yin, in-gamd (iirc). It seems like gw hasn't really bothered with all that and made both regular and firearms related units mixed gender. Although I think the new peasant might be all male I don't remember.
>>97403388>which ties into the harmony mechanic.I thought it doesnt exist.
>>97403401I'm talking about the TW games, since the op specified he didn't know how they handled cathay there
>>97392413DOOT DOOT
>>97402525GW also released the marauders as all European paint scheme instead of doing the regular forced diversity in their other systems. I think we will be ok, considering they have called us the historical setting. Also using AI to write questions for you is shameful.

>>97398683>Is 1d20 + Mod vs. Target AC quick and without unnecessary maths for example?The individual roll is quick to resolve. You could make all of combat roll 1d20+mod if you beat the target you win the fight, or you could make it so you're making dozens of attacks in a game designed to make you miss half the time and deal 2 damage on hit vs 200 hp. >And meaningful choice would be describing your character's action in the moment of roleplay, sThe choice is what action you're choosing to do, not how you describe it. If >I move behind him and aim for his head using my hiltand>I attack him head on, hoping to slice his chest open with my bladehave actual mechanical differences in how they're resolved and/or what they do on a hit, and both are at least somewhat reasonable options (ie worth doing with pros + cons) there's a meaningful choice. If both are actually the exact same action with the exact same effects but with different dressing you don't really have a choice. If attacking with your hilt inflicts a -10 hit penalty, deals -5 damage, and has a chance to make you drop your weapon on failure then you would never actually choose so the choice isn't meaningful.In narrative games these could be very, very different actions with the exact same resolution, but that relies on GMs personally ajudicating the outcome of every action which some don't consider a real choice for the player (I'm fine with it, personally).You can also add crunch but create no meaningful options. In some games there'll be elaborate rules for doing stunts, attempting unconvential actions, performing maneuvers, etc. But if they all have really high DCs or are too complex or provide no real advantage over saying "I attack again" no one's ever going to use them.
>>97283892My physical copies of Primrose arrived today and by Wednesday they'll all be off to their new homes. Had to deal with some tariff bullshit at the post office since Im Australia based but otherwise most of my sales are locals who are coming around to hang out and pick up a copy at a meet and greet. Having a lot of people enthusiastic about my game has been quite jarring since the game has always been only been known by my small local group. I ended up ordering about 12 copies and sold out, but theres already quite a few people who have been interested in a second run. I figured id write them all a thank you letter and finish it off with a wax seal as a show of gratitude too. Kinda weird being at the end of the road in all honesty.
>>97386873I think I mentioned this in a previous thread to the Disturbia anon, but I think "Active Abilities" on cards is the way to go, so you have an incentive for not using your successes to cancel the opponents successes/deal damage that resolves before the damage occurs.So something like "Spend 2 Successes: Give all allied units 1 free success for the rest of this turn," so you're trading damage in one situation for different bonus. Sure, you then risk this unit being killed or maybe not securing the objective it is targeting, but it could give you an edge somewhere else more important.
>>97402175While the new cover looks nice, I must admit I am fonder of the original cover. It felt like a dusty told time you'd find in an abbey library. If the game is becomes a huge hit, maybe you could make the old a collector's edition version.

Did you know that in 1999 Dan Abnett did a comic that was basically a wholesale rip-off of 40k except the main character was this vampire lady that he had all the other characters constantly talk about how sexy she was.It had a feudal space Catholic empire that oppressed mutants, and even had elite warriors with implanted organs and cybernetics using weapons called bolters. Later Dan Abnett had the MC tame a bolter warrior with her vampire pussy.
>>97397403That was about when his Black Library career really took off. Maybe it was a strat to say I’m writing 40k wether it’s for you or not.
>>97400213I genuinely think it was. He had a comics career before and after this, I mean hitting it big in the US after with the GotG run with Lanning, but he never really wrote anything like this anywhere else.

What's the Hard Scifi regular for solar system level war? I want no FTL, no psychic powers, no perpetual energy machines, no space magic whatsoever. It should respect the laws of physics and common sense.
>>97402457Nicoll-Dyson beams?
I want to run an investigation game in the desert part of America, 70's to 90's about. I was wondering if I should have it take place after a war that took down global communications just to kind of rein in where players can go and what they have access to. Like no airports, telephones if any are going to be local landlines that go to communications hubs. No internet, but maybe similarly local networks. No one really knows whats going on in the rest of the country and information is scarce. War took a toll on the country so theres also just less people around. I also think it would be a cooler world to explore than something that already exists irl. Everything else would be pretty similar with major cities and military emplacements destroyed. I wouldn't use it as a shoe-in for most post apocalyptic stuff like mutants and futuristic weapons I'm more or less trying to just reset the world back to wild west days with modern tech. Not even "end of the world" just a step backwards. Is this a stupid ass idea?
>>97402457>regular for solar system level warRock throwing. Change the rock with asteroid.
>>97400861>Hard Scifi + High Fantasy fusion?So, just basic scifi. Hard scifi tried to eliminate the fantastical tropes of scifi like ftl. By introducing magic, you just bring back the fantastical shit.

Necromancy 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.

>>97401844>>97401853>>97401858>>97401863Very cool stuff. Nice table.
>>97402072I did not. We actually screwed it up a bit looking at the rules for the mission (No Man's Land) and we thought that there was no middle point to capture, only the two that we each have on our base. Mission forbids infiltration, so my assassins couldn't advance that much forward.Despite those disadvantages I was still doing pretty well at first until the Trench Cleric on his side got an insane activation with a grenade toss, charge, fight, then advance unto my point. I managed to clear him off in the end, but it put me at a point deficit that I wasn't quite able to make up at the end of the game.Final scoring was 14-18.>>97402095We got all of that modular terrain thanks to a single father in the group who busted his ass making it and donated it to the club for any to use. He's our true Meta-Christ.

Are there any spells from 4e you would want to see in 5e? Would they fit?
>>97402818if you want the boss to have such a large number of henchmen from a narrative standpoint that it would unbalance combat from a mechanical standpoint, you can just use lair actions or the boss’s legendary actions to make attacks with the goons, and give each group of them one npc’s worth of hitpoints so the players can kill them off and the lair/boss no longer has access to that action. instead of them each being a fully statted npc with their own turns, etc.

>>97402581>>97402696Slice-of-life may be a bit of a miscommunication, but I don't really know how to describe Part 1 before the Konoha Crush. Something with those vibes except with the looming threat of a conflict and actual conflicts to get involved in would be the best way to put it.Amegakure for WW2 vibes during Second Ninja War specifically, though, and the premise allows for a very varied cast from across the globe as Ame has been taking in refugees, hiring mercenaries, making supersoldiers and freeing prisoners to bolster its previously anaemic defence force.

>>97402158>>97397851It was a womens clothing store before iirc
>>97397019Why didnt your LGS just kick them out prior if those people are being disruptive/degenerate remove them. Putting up a scarechud just invites a different breed of pest >>97396798 this guy if he's the owner probably doesnt tolerate any offtopic or abrasive behavior and its probably why his game shop just from a single photo gives the impression of warmth and good times that are solely based on gaming. Also the scarechud would 100% backfire and invite just even greater smarter chuds.
>>97403172There is a fuck ton
I've been in mine but haven't played anything there. Nice in a sterile way but seems like they're trying to be too much with too little space - they've got boardgames, puzzles, TTRPGs, and wargaming (with a limited WH selection on the wall out of shot) all in one place. It's also a small, upscale, hipstery town so naturally they've got a set of beer taps and a full espresso setup, which I guess is something that most LGSs can't boast. There's also a more typical card shop but I've never been there, and probably won't since I'm not into TCGs. (BTW this pic is clearly COVID-era when there was a mask law here)

The Paladin has been POISONED! He will instantly die with no antidote. A Thief holds out the antidote and pours it all on the floor. 'Drink if you wanna live.'The Paladin gets on his knees and licks the floor. He's feeling better already. But when he tries to kill the Thief, he finds out he has fallen. He just lost all powers!Why did this happen? Simple. Honor is the soul of all Paladins with no exception. Without honor, there can be no Lawful Goodness.There's nothing more dishonorable than getting on your knees and licking the floor like every dog.That's the parable of the Paladin and the Thief. Remember it well.In Japan, there was once a poisoned Samurai in a similar situation. A Ninja poured the antidote on the floor. Do you know what the Samurai did? He stripped out of all armor, took his Daikatana, and did Harakiri right there. His last words? 'I will never lick the floor like a dog.'He died with great Honor and became legendary for it.
