TCGs are just LCGs with really shitty quality control

Ok, so we're gonna make a creature battler based on netrunner mechanics, the theme will be biblical mafia waifus fighting with the four elements, and all the stats will be measured in units of minimum one billion.
when do we start

>>97351722
Yeah, when the arcade first dropped in the US. It was surprisingly addictive, even though the gameplay was stupendously fucking simple. Some chick I took on a date there got one play and won the card I wanted from it. She didn't part with the card either. I never saw either of them again.

I'm objectively correct. The most prolific pre-industrial battles are
>Hannibal defeating the romans by...surrounding them
>The english defeated the french by...shooting at them as they walked forward
>Napoleon was defeated because...their lines were bigger
That's about it really. Pre-gunpowder warfare was just endless hordes of Spearmen smashing into each other. Boring! Technology and centuries of tactical experience made WW2 the culmination of all warfare that can never be surpassed. Anything that gets close to WW2 in scale or complexity spells the end of the world in nuclear hellfire. WW2 was the climax of human military history

>>97351443
You should read more dude.

>>97351607
I've been interested in Antiquity. I've read about the battles Rome fought against the Greeks during their conquest. Problem is they tend to be very boring, luring the Greeks into rocks was the most exciting thing that they did.

I think this denies the rich variety of tactics used that depended upon different terrains and doctrines before you even get onto sieges. You might enjoy reading about Heraclius’s campaigns against the Sassanians in the Armenian highlands for example.

Also for babby’s first medieval warfare, read Runciman’s History of the Crusades. It is read-but don’t-cite tier these days, but it’s a brilliant read. If you don’t want to BE Bohemond of Taranto by the end of the first volume, I’ll eat my hat.

If you used the Marshal’s bannerman as Boniface, what did you do with the figure of the Marshal himself? Also can I ask what drew you to the 4th crusade and what your plans are campaign wise post painting?

Take your time, make sure to vet them properly and keep an eye on them. You do that and then decide if your potential candidate has what it takes to srart training.

Do you give credence to the notion of benign or even benevolent supernaturals?

the big bald stormcast was afraid his next death would make him lose his humanity, since he saw himself becoming less humorous and less empathetic towards humans after his last reforging, so he sacrificed himself to fuck up belakor's ritual

the old bearded stormcast would have kept on killing neave to ensure she would remain an useful asset for sigmar and not remember her past as a chaos warrior under belakor, neave now remembers her past and knows the stormcast has killed her multiple times to keep that buried, she kicks him into a labyrinthine subrealm of ulgu, where he's now haunted by the shadow demons that live there

the nigger stormcast blames neave for having broken apart the blacktalons irreparably

the idoneth no longer has a reason to keep working for neave, she worked for the old stormcast on the promise of neave's soul as eventual payment, but in the second last episode the deal was altered and she agreed on being paid with another stormcast soul, the one that was previously lost in the ulgu labyrinth, the old stormcast helped the idoneth kill her for her soul

belakor's plan to flood hammerhal with ulgu water got foiled

Actually, it was only Hitler himself, which is very funny. He was a Wagnerboo but Goebbels and others looked down on him for it, and he did stuff like have big lavish Wagner productions put on and then give soldiers free tickets, which they would immediately try to sell or trade for cigarettes.

Hitler was weirdly close to a goofy li'l sitcom dude at the same time as he was a brutal, insane dictator.

Also, I don't think Arc Dream have done anything with Chinese intelligence assets. I've heard credible rumors of Canadian nationalists getting murdered by CCP agents to cover up PLA training operations on Canadian soil with Mounties hiding the bodies, and the NYPD has caught numerous Chinese psyops/cyberattacks in progress. Wumaos covering up shit on behalf of a rogue CCP agent is something just waiting to be written. If they did do something involving the "sharty is the new Phenom-X" idea, Kuz being an SVU-8 triple-agent would be literally right there for them to write in
Arc Dream and co are just cowards that can't let go of anti-Bush-Sr. counterculturalism and don't want to go any further down the chudspiracy rabbit hole than needed to understand Qslop boomerisms

Eh, I can understand why they don't want to dip their toes into current day conspiracy bullshit, it seems a lot less fuckin' fun than it did in the early days of the Internet. "The government is being controlled by greys, who themselves are a proxy for the mi-go" is a lot more fun than "the government is all pedophiles, and that's probably not even that far off from the truth."

I do wish they'd actually do more with what they have. The outlaw/program split is, to me, a lot more interesting than than the conspiracy vs. mj12, but they've done nothing with it and every module is written in such a way that you could be either with no friction. The program being subtly (or not so subtly) compromised by March Industries is a cool idea that they have done nothing with. The Great Race vs. the Lloigor is another interesting concept they introduce and then completely abandoned. It's also annoying that the two big campaigns out are so fucking similar (oh cool, two era spanning meditations on the pointlessly of the fight and your utter lack of agency.), and the default mode of play ends up being, more or less, monster of the week. The Borealis Campaign for Fall seems more like something they could have in the modern day, chasing or dismantling a single threat, and it seems like that sort of game would be a lot more suited to the system that they've written.

It doesn't matter because I can't run the game for my group anyway, but when you consider that DG the game as been out for almost a decade, it's pretty fucking disappointing that theyve failed so hard to publish anything interesting with the (in my opinion, only) interesting hooks in the handlers book.

>>97351811
I'm too young to have been around during the days of the old conspiracy bullshit, but I vaguely recall hearing that the whole thing with the Greys being in league with the government was actually really a reflection of the countercultural movement of the time period after Bush Sr. was seen as a cuck for the MIC, and I believe it.
I feel like it really does reflect the similar point that "the government is thoroughly infiltrated by pedos," it's really not far off from "the government is owned entirely by the lockmartbellraytheonhoneywell cartel that is subservient to a higher, occultist power." Arc Dream is just lazy, and more concerned with doing remasters of old content than doing anything new and cool.
We're living in one of the most interesting times ever, with a nearly crystal-clear view of what's happening in the world with almost zero censorship, and a mass collective recollection of insane amounts of data, and Arc Dream is too scared to jump on any of it. I have zero respect for them or their shitty publishing agreements. DG may as well just go open-source entirely and let the setting turn entirely fandom-run.

>>97351811
If you don't want to play with GWOT and current day conspiracies, do not make a current day Delta Green. There's no way around it, it's the foundation of the concept.

>>97351885
The NWO making a deal with Greys was a common kook theory of the time, they just shoehorned the migo in. Check out Behold a Pale Horse for a good sample of that kind of schizo conspiracy they were initially pulling from.

>>97351711
Oh you are right, absoultely. i just personally find them better as allies since really the bread and butter of SA are their vehicels and its really easy to get some amazing vehicle formations in there for dirt cheap. Case and point, a artillery command squad and 3 basalisks is like sub 500 points

Sub 500 points you now have board wide 3 Large blast S10, Breaching 5+(I think? been a while since i looked) Pinning 2 damage 2 shots.

I think people got sidetracked at some point and started talking about different things. The original idea was just dungeon WDW, the we started talking about EO for some reason, and then someone tried combining the two. I may be at fault for the last one but I wasn't trying to do that.

>>97351804
I guess its a bit up to interpretation. It's not exactly brutal but "realistic" or down-to-earth where even the things you've tend to encounter are given simple and descriptive names, and the magic the players use lacks the typical mysticism and reverence that you'd find in WDW.
>>97351879
It's up to you if you want to start it. I do want to know more about how things are going to go down for this.

I keep thinking I want WDW until I remember that I hated the spell system

The start with the Yokai was properly otherworldly and seeing Yae introduce Kaoru to her work was a nice way of them to bond. Also I think I recognize the murders you're basing this crime scene on, and it's kino if so.

>>97351857
When I first read the details of the murders and Yae mentioned that the killer knew what evidence to leave out, my first thought was law enforcement. Kinda feels like Dexter. I wonder how this one’s gonna get caught, considering he has no powers and the resolution might as well be like an ordinary police drama. I can see Kaoru helping to track down the culprit by confirming he was an acquaintance of that one victim as soon as Yae starts tracking down suspects, since Kaoru handles research best out of her detective skills. Maybe it’d be cool if Yae and Kaoru arrive to a conclusion like “why would both victims try to dial 119 right as they were dying? Oh! It was a clue all along!”, that’d be really cool.

>Shu is cooked
Wallahi…

I’ll try to come up with stuff for the Yoshio Fukuzawa side of things, but I’m gonna need Kohakuanon to explain Garasu no Omoide and the Urban Hell to me because I think they showed up one time in Cross Examination and I’d like to know more about them so I can write this stuff properly.

The villains one sounds ok. You can look at some stuff in BC since I think a few of the examples are something like that?

>>97349937
>The funny
Even as an orkfag I find that a bit too silly, but its still very funny, make him either a blood axe or freeboota so it can at least make a little bit of sense. Maybe think up of why a lone Ork was there on this hive world+keep in mind that he probably (unintentionally) spread spores everywhere he went, so in the long run, that hive world might get a proper ork problem down the line.

Vilain one sounds simple & good, can't go wrong with it

>>97349482
The context changed, because among other things, suddenly the presence of a crusade fleet to report back to is no longer a guarantee, and your willful blindness to that fact does you no credit.
Modern warrants grant explicit permission to trade with xenos. 30k warrants are more desirable because their conditions are generally far more permissive, and you can reasonably assume their wording is more along the lines of "May trade freely with any such polities as seen fit".
You're making a false association, because you don't have wording for any 30k warrants that includes the word 'xeno', because you don't have any wording for 30k warrants at all. Your 'implication' is baseless horseshit and you know it.

>>97351717
>asserts baseless horseshit

NTA, but despite liking the splats, those plots always came like weak excuses to justify the existence of Solaroids, specially in 3e, where the devs don't give a concrete reason for the Deathlords sharing shards with the yozis.

>>97350446
We're going to get into personal opinion territory here, but the box *and* other parts of the setting that treat Exaltation as a kind of item or thing lessens it. It renders what is a blessing, a form of enlightenment, or one's own heroic reserves into something just pasted onto you. You might say "Exalted had always been like that", and that may be correct, but it's still wrong and always bothered me.

>>97350492
I understand you, specially thanks for 3e, but the box gets easier to understand if you see it as a container of souls.

>>97350492
>that treat Exaltation as a kind of item or thing lessens it. It renders what is a blessing, a form of enlightenment, or one's own heroic reserves into something just pasted onto you.
I have a kind of perpendicular view I guess, when the Celestial Exaltations aren't bound to a Chosen, they're incredible magical artifacts, an artificial third soul blessed by the Incarnae, but still ultimately just a thing. It's when they fuse with a human soul and unite with a Chosen do they become something worthy of veneration, something truly awe-inspiring.

Fuck those guys.
They are all gay, and they fuck the balance when you're the only guy with a planeswalker.
I know, because I was that guy; got all my mates to go for the promotional free deck; everything was fine 'til I got a Gideon.
It whacks the game balance; I drew that fucker and my mates povo decks crumbled.
The mechanic is clearly a bolt-on, poorly balanced and poorly thought out.
Needless to say, everybody got bummed out and stopped playing.

Because planeswalker cards don't just suck conceptually, they suck the fun out of the game, and that's worse.

But I digress.
I have forsaken TCG's; they are of the devil.

>>97349059
I actually don't hate planeswalkers from a mechanical standpoint, even if I think it's pretty unnecessary. They have done, and would do fine, as legendary creature cards.

My beef is that the shift in portraying a wide cast of new planeswalkers as main characters was part of some very bad story decisions. We kind of saw two major sides of Magic before the Mending:
>Planeswalkers as part of the conflict with Phyrexia, surrounding the life of Urza
>The exploration of worlds where Planeswalkers are either wholly absent, or are more important for the background of the worlds that things are happening in, rather than the main focus characters
What we moved on to is:
>"No, guys, we're totally not trying to capitalize on superhero team tropes right now. Who cares about the integrity of lore for the worlds we're visiting? It's all about the characters we can't write well! They're planeswalkers like you, so we want to lean into them, but we're losing faith in story's ability to be sold, so we're going to drop the ball right after we make this huge change in how we market the game!"

Why do all those Algerians in France love him so much then?

the main problem that I see is that people are push the fantasy part to much to the sidelines and just try to make it too historical while not putting the same constrains on other types of fantasy
just as an example, the irl medieval period was very different from what we watched in the Lord of the Rings, DnD is even more different in almost all aspects
what is needed is first to get a setting that is to the period just like DnD/LotR is to the irl medieval period
