>>97177671>100 pts of Tacticals can kill 130 pts of Lascannon Tarantulas (so, 2) each turneach Tarantula forms an individual Unit after being deployedthey don't shoot together, and they don't get shot together - so unless your Tacticals are wiping one out in their own Shooting phase and one in the Assault phase, that one squad ain't doing 2 a turn; they can't even target a Tarantula with a shooting Reaction because Tarantula shooting doesn't work that wayyou're correct in that mass Tarantulas means spending more on less useful units, but the lack of Split Fire or any equivalent means you just can't shoot more than one Tarantula per phase - this is the genius of the Tarantula, it's forcing you to either get plinked every turn or waste something S5 on it (or hope you get enough Glances to kill it with secondary HP or make it useless through Statuses); lots of Tarantulas can be good, but they're not guaranteed to be, and they're not great individually

>>97179436In both 3.5 and PF intelligent items are treated as constructs, so anything that could boost one of those could benefit them as well.
>>97179463does this mean that if you find an intelligent sword with a mere +1 bonus, your need to find someone with Craft Construct if you want to improve it?anyone remember which books sections have all the info on intelligent items in 3.5?
>>97179489I think it means you can do both, there's more than a few things out there that "count" as more than one thing, so intelligent items count both as weapons and as constructs for the purposes of whatever it is you want to do with them, they probably just take different routes to do it in-universe depending on the profession.
>>97178815Collosals are hard to get without magic/psionics, but anything smaller you can deal with pretty easily. Sadly Jotunbrud doesn't give you Powerful Build, but explicitly makes you count as Large size, so you would want Goliaths or Half-Giants as a base, then you want either Psychic Warrior for psionic grappling goodies or Barbarian into bear warrior (size increase and +20 str in dire bear form).
I just looked for some intelligent items and cross referenced what I found in 3.5 DND Item Biblenone of the intelligent items it has there are in any of the indexes
Dunk On 'Em 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.

>>97179546I think something closer to heretics, but not quite. I always thought of pagans as a third party; they are not enemies of God, but at the same time, He hates them. Plus, the Scythians in particular are a people known for their love of looting, slavery, rape, and other attributes of heretical life.
>>97179633>>97179546I also think that cannibalism is the main mechanic of the Androphagi, and they use it like the Kroots or the ghouls from Tokyo Ghoul, while looking less and less like humans. But I can't quite figure out what "looking less and less like humans" would look like. Of course, we could give them reptilian features, since according to myth, all Scythians descended from Heracles and the she-dragon Echidna, but I think we should give that to another tribe.
>>97168124>>97168896It would be cool to have an atheistic faction too, that has as patron / homie / brah 'Il Separatio' (like WFB has Necoho), an entity that doesn't demands nor needs worship, but despise both Yahweh and Satan (Helel).>https://the-demonic-paradise.fandom.com/wiki/Il_Separatio

The better pic will show what i mean. But thank youHere's the Knight of Avarice chorister i kit bashed. I imagined a spoiled daughter of a noble who was disowned and out casted. She turned to Mammon servitude hoping to gain wealth and a lavish life. Melted down her gold jewelery and poured it over her face for her ritual suicide.
>>97179070I think i can fix it actually. If i add some more yellow and a tiny bit of white on the raises edges
Why was XP for gold largely abandoned as a way to reward players?
>>97180122Wrong.
>>97180055>how many-Enough, especially if you're picking up arrows and emptying enemy quivers, an easy task to do while everyone else is otherwise looting.>but-No, really, that's all that needs to be said. There's a whole slew of activities and actions that adventurers perform that don't really need much attention drawn to them.Do you clean your blades after every battle, wiping all the blood off? Do you repair your armor after every successful attack? Do you piss and shit? I bet you've never even brushed your teeth.
>>97180208If an archer has been slinging arrows every round in several battles where he doesn't have the opportunity to recover any (if the targets are some sort of fiery beasts or he's been firing from a moving vessel, for example), then it might be interesting for the DM to say something like "Your quiver is starting to feel quite light, and you were made aware earlier that you haven't been able to recover your arrows. I'm going to roll 4d4, and that's how many arrows you have left in your quiver when you next check."Or, they can just completely ignore that detail, just like they're ignoring that the fighter's unmagical sword was used on several gargoyles and it didn't even suffer a single nick. It really just depends on what kind of game the DM is trying to run, but ultimately the goal should be to present challenges and not just inconveniences, and generally an archer having to ration their arrows is an annoying inconvenience that the character would have tried to remedy ahead of time. If they know they're going to be on a ship, for example, they might opt to carry twice or more arrows than they would ordinarily.Players are not their characters, and vice versa, and characters are thinking of a lot of things that the players might not be immediately aware of. While it's good to call attention to these sorts of details as early on as possible, if every character but one steps out into sub-freezing temperatures without a heavy coat or cloak because the one player didn't write it on their character sheet, it really makes less sense for that character to just travel under-equipped than for the player to dock a few silver and write in "kick-ass cloak" as if his character had bought it as soon as he was aware of such rare and esoteric knowledge as "The air in this region can be cold."Remembering to pack mundane things is not really that interesting, and hardly a skill. Woe the group that prides themselves on that.
>>97180325Nope.
>>97180331If the players and DM trust each other, yes. If everyone is fair about it, yes.A player trying to pull a Bill&Ted where they just happen to be carrying a set of ogre-sized manacles upon encountering a BDSM-loving ogre is a step too far, but a reasonable "Since my character has been writing love letters every night, he would have a bottle of ink that I forgot to put on my character sheet. Is it okay if I squeeze that into my bag?" is hardly the place to draw a hard line of "NO, YOU'VE BEEN WRITING THOSE LETTERS IN EITHER YOUR BLOOD OR SHIT, YOUR CHOICE."

Why were so few threads archived on sup/tg/ this year? Compared to 2019 and even last year, there are so few.
>>97176868i get what you mean. if a lot of classic posts were made today, they'd just get called fake and gay. Wasteland Warrior and TwoDee and Old Man Henderson and all the others would be told to "fuck off with the blogposting, faggot," no-one would be willing to play along, and we'd all miss out. it's crazy that even an anonymous forum like this can be so affected by social media-style cringe culture, but what can ya do.
>>97177102Old Man Henderson was confirmed to have been made up.
>>97177195oh, obviously. almost every story on here is made up or heavily exaggerated. i'm just complaining about the kind of attitude that leads one to harp on the veracity of a silly /tg/ storytiem instead of going along with the bit.
>>97177201The problem isn't that Henderson iss fake, the problem is that it's a really lame story and only dumb fags tried to force it as something amazing piece of /tg/ culture.

Do you prefer to make characters that are built to thrive within society, or characters that are built to be as independent from society as they possibly can be?
...what?Your spambot's broken, the zero effort single sentence non-topics dont even make sense any more
>>97180213Translation for retards:>Do you prefer social skills or combat skills?
>>97179453The latter. Getting as high up the social ladder as possible is optimal in real life because people will do shit for you and you want to spend as much time as possible not doing anything even remotely dangerous.But in tabletop, NPCs will never solve any of your problems because that's what playing the game is for, and you should neither expect nor even want for that to happen because then you won't have shit to do. Essentially, society exists solely to make trouble for you.

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).
>>97164719This entire thread is all about how cults major evil goals are hidden from the public who are too stupid to realize it. > Church of Satan has nothing to do with real satanism.They literally have the name above the doorframe, and we still have idiots saying, "It's not real Satanism". So yeah, people are idiots who join cults regularly. Even when it is blatantly obvious.
>>97175937Same thing that the guys get out of turning themselves into soldiers and suicide bombers for a losing army. They got radicalized into believing this is what Allah wants them to do.
>>97160877>A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satanthey do now, young people are literally MKultraing themselves into becoming mass killers through telegram cults
>>97160877>Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide?Based
>>97173471>The gap between you, the average guy in your average village with a average farm and a meager average pay and all the rest of the world is so utterly gigantic, you would realistically see guys like Karl Marx championing the little guy pop up on a daily basis. The rich own the means of production? Bitch, the rich in your average fantasy world own everything, down to your bloody soul and immortal afterlife.No, you wouldn't see Karl Marx likes in feudal fantasy. Marxism is a mentality created by the urban middle class that can only exist in an industrialized world.
How many players do your current game(s) have?How much is too much?What's the smallest group you've been with? What's the biggest?For me three players is the comfiest. I've ran games for two, and there was this time the table had 12 players. It was a complete shitshow but it was fun giving the GM a headache.
>>97179894>How many players do your current game(s) have?3>How much is too much?6>What's the smallest group you've been with? What's the biggest?2 and 6I find four is a good number almost all of the time, so I try for five players in a lot of my games. That way, if one person cancels, you still have four, and if two people cancel, I still feel like I can run.
>>97179894Depends on the game as for the first question. For the second, I think the best is 4 players + 1 GM, and the minimum/maximum for a good time is 3 to 5 players.
>>97179894I have two games each with 4 players. I do concur that three players is the comfiest. My smallest "group" was 1 player and my largest was 12. None of them went well.

>>97177606I mean they worked on me for their original intent. I bought the OG 2nd edition warzone box back in like 2006 thinking I'd just enjoy the mechanics a bit and maybe buy a couple dark legion minis on the side but that turned into two decades of gobbling up warzone and mutant Chronicles anything so. Also, I don't use the plastic Bauhaus and imperial regulars cus I got all the metal now.
are there any decent space combat wargames? Or is there just Dropfleet Commander? I just discovered DFC yesterday and am considering getting into it because I am a space combat autist. Worth it? Is there a community for it in the USA?
>>97179954DFC is the only large, supported and developed game, I think? Maybe if Warcradle gets its shit together and manages to relaunch Firestorm Armada. Out of mini agnostic system there's A Billion Suns that looked pretty different, Full thrust should float around. And then there are smaller and more obscure systems that I can't remember. Among the two Star Wars systems and Battlefleet Gothic with its dozen fan editions.
>>97177667>I like the current Mantic dwarfs and undead.I also like the Dwarf and Undead armies. Hell, I own a moderate sized Elf army which I like the design of. I had been planning on buying into into the Dwarf army, but those bastards deleted all the cool metal stuff after making me wary by upping their prices to GW-tier for minis.
>>97178183Same here. Luckily there's loads of solo games that are very fun.
