Moloch's Fun Park 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/.

>>97238095Main issue is that later 3e/3.5 adventures get spongy and sloggy. Most DMs actually recommend having more or larger encounters with much lower CR creatures, that way encounters are over faster and the players can see their characters growing stronger. Boss monster should still remain boss monsters obviously.Basically the skyrim model, lots of very easy encounters with a sprinkling of difficulty-spike enemies to remind players to stay humble.
Would protection from evil protect an undead from being mentally controlled by an Evil Cleric using command/rebuke undead?
>>97238288No, because Turning isn't 'mental control' by the rules.
>>97238288I'd say so. Protection from Evil says that it blocks any attempt to exercise mental control over the creature, and Command Undead is stated to be "under the mental control of the evil cleric". >>97238303Pg 159 of the PHB says otherwise
>>97238306Looking at the wrong section, because it procs on the same mechanics as Turn/Destroy.The situation you are creating is this: could you slap this on a mindless undead to prevent the necromancer who raised it from commanding it, as it works on the same basis?All told, you would be better served taking this to your DM, because there are arguments for and against. I would exercise discretion as 'No', because Turn mechanics are generally their own thing divorced from many of the generalities of the system.

>>97234338>mostly 40k competitive players.My LGS has some people like that. I don't know how many people my locale shop has that looking for casual narrative games. It seems to be in an area where they arrange everything in discord before going to the LGS. The Pisscord "server" for my area is a Reddit hugbox shithole. Despite that, everyone ignored me when I asked if anyone wanted to walk me through how to play Killteam. I haven't asked if anyone wanted to play something non-GW, but I feel like my area is almost exclusively GW and WotC.Also, I hate "social" media and have been on 4chan for so long that I don't know how to use these normie sites/apps.
Plenty of FLGS around but one of my favorites was the one on the 2nd floor of a 2 level strip mall, right above a takeout Chinese place, neither of which faced the street. It was a kinda run down place with concrete floors, boxes of unsorted MTG bulk, some random 3D printed minis for sale, and random old gaming books. Loved that place. Chopsticks19 killed it. The other games stores all went downhill, as well as Magic itself. I miss gaming in 2016 to 2019. Playing DnD in the store was fun, sorting through old Magic cards was fun. I still went to the FLGS all the time til got laid off. Now as a NEET I barely ever go
there's zero pictures online of my FLGS from the 2000s, which is surprising.it was a warehouse in a village in northern England with a little shopfront. shared a big warehouse space with a shopfitting company, so the wargame crowd had access to wood-cutting equipment and other tools. middle-aged men basically lived in there like it was a pub, just making models all day.for events, they'd lay out long rows of tables and then the younger crowd would come in for e.g. Magic: The Gathering tournaments. the place was still a mess with random scrap and tools lying everywhere (plus the owners' dogs roaming around) but it was amazing.nowadays, the UK has moved more towards little 'gaming cafés' that are totally pristine and you all get cramped onto a small table to play D&D, usually paying by the hour. i hate it so much, bros.
My local LGS has weird opening times, open only a couple of each day at different times. I have tried to turn up when it says it will be open, but it is always locked then as well, usually with a 'gone for lunch' sign in the window. Who goes for lunch at 3.10pm? I think it might not want enyone to enter and may be the front for a cult or money laundering.

>>97234152 I don't know, I'm fairly new to FDM as well and I have these stone building models with detailed floors that just fucks up on FDM. Shit like flagstones and rubble.
I live in a small apartment and have 2 cats, I think that resin printing may be out of the question for me. I want to 3D print both terrain and minis. I was thinking of getting an FDM printer for terrain (Bambu Lab P1P FDM), but could I use it to print simple minis as well? I just want something for a Frostgrave warband, nothing too complicated. Will the quality be noticeably dogshit, or is it good enough for most hobbyists? If it's dire, I figure I can just rent services for a resin printer.
>>97227544>>97226502Literal brainlets. It's far faster and easier than the old ones.
>>97237920 If you tune the printer, you can get some pretty impressive detail out of an FDM but it would also take a long time to print.
>>97238313That's fine; I'm not printing hundreds of minis, just a couple warbands and some monsters here and there. Does the printer I'm thinking of sound good - the Bambu Lab P1P FDM?

>>97236252Oh I had not noticed, thanks. Yeah I guess if you're going for historical accuracy it would be a red flag though modern (post 5) DnD stopped caring about that. Largely as a result of Californian influence, I would assume
>>97235028Hopefully, your local tavern wouldnt effect you much, unless it is a particular old or quirky tavern with some noteworthy characters or history you can include in a game. Just plopping it straight into you game 'as is' might not be a good fit though.Regarding OP's pic, Maybe the DM lacks experience of the world outside their town, of history or of the many, many fantasy genres and settings, or is just unimaginative, so just bases their game on the limited things they know? The majority of people are like this, hence why the publishers target them with OP's pic - it isnt to make a good game, but to make one that sells their product to the biggest market. Stuff like OPs pic is the McDonnalds or Greggs of the world. Doesnt mean you have to serve that to your players, as Good DMs know how to mix up elements than the mass produced shit to make finer offerings. By the way, Merry Christmas.You sound as if you try to include more what some retarded marketing executives choose in a brainstorming meeting though, so I raise a tankard (oldy worldy cup) of mead (oldy worldy drink) to you. Keep up the good work.
I’m running a low fantasy game, and social advancement is gonna be a thing. So the PCs are gonna be rubbing elbows with a lot of noble families as they make their way into high society. I’m just asking for NPCs and ideas.Most of the nobility are humans, but a few are half-elves and halflings.
>>97233040Read Pendragon 5e for ideas, as it's one of the best genuinely medieval systems out there and it focuses solely on playing as nobility.
Any families/NPCs y’all can come up with?
>>97236881Area: The Eastmarch (that is, the border region in the east)Family: House of AthalSeat of power: New Athaka (minor town, 3 associated fortified positions). Head of the house: margrave Boskas AthalOrigin: the eastmarch was conquered from the [insert enemy here] by the previous generation. The land was mostly settled by soldiers from that war. The margrave Boskas of Athal is a distinguished veteran of that war, known for having led a band of 250 men to keep the enemy from breaking through at [not Thermopylae] and thus granting time for the main army to circle the mountain and destroy the enemy forces.Those who volunteered that day and live are the minor knights (about 70) who settled the region as pioneers. For his service, margrave Athal was pledged ownership of the lands around the mountains. He now holds those lands against raiders and incursions by the previous owners. Economy: sheep, logging and limited mining. The mountains contain some iron, and the rivers that flow down the mountains allow for logging works and wool production alike to use river transport towards the nearby free city of [Whatever]. Military situation: the region is filled with veterans and their offspring. Few question the authority of the margrave. He has taken two fortresses, and built another at the site of [not Thermopylae] to round out the defense. While the fortresses and their garrisons are costly, the economy is somewhat bolstered by the newly forming cultivation of the land and trade with the nearby free city. Politics: the free city is split between excitement over the economic opportunities, and the fear of such a powerful military force on their doorstep.The original inhabitants are mostly glad to be freed of the previous owners, but have many gripes about ownership and rights as they used to be free tribes before the enemy rolled in. The margrave lacks funding, and hopes to secure it with either the crown or the free city.
>>97233040You can have one extra peasant-y peasant who demonstrates why the nobility really do look down on people who haven't been trained in the proper ways to talk and behave.And an impoverished noble who had to let all his house staff go and is pretending he didn't.And give them manners and airs so even if a noble became as poor as a peasant and had to sell his last estate, they'd still feel superior to people born and raised peasants.
>>97233040Probably a military officer with noble blood. That's the kind of nobility adventurers would have the most dealings with. Maybe some provincial governor or duke who either gave out the mission or is scheming something.
Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
>>97234531Cute.

>>97229027Classless is better, classes only restrict the game in arbitrary ways.
This is a bumpfag thread
>>97229035The Level-by-Level multi-classing was one of the biggest mistakes in 3.X. As most martial classes had their abilities front loaded and caster's power grew with caster levels. Dipping a few levels into a martial got most of their benefits while dipping into a caster was pretty much useless. The table based leveling didn't help either as it created many "dead" levels with no benefit.>>97231941>I would personally make it a feat that takes several instances of getting regular feats to represent its powers and you'd get a lesser version of the orignal classes's power but never be able to overshadow the original's use of it.You just described 4e D&D multi-classing.

>>97236425neat
>>97228543I like where this is going. Other thoughts:>Large-scale farming would be difficult; smaller communities would likely have "village hunts" whenever a monster showed up, while larger communities would probably have dedicated slayers, either as traveling professionals or an actual military>Doing anything in the sea would be dangerous, as larger monsters could be anywhere and damage ship hulls fairly easily while being nearly impossible to defend>People will find ways to make use of monster corpses and byproducts (eat monster meat, use monster slime, concoct monster poisons, show off monster trophies, etc.)>Settlement defenses vary based on what monsters are endemic to the region (e.g. defense against burrowing monsters requires building on solid stone foundations)>Specialized equipment would exist for killing or deterring specific monsters very effectively (e.g. alcohol-based "thinner" bombs for throwing at oozes to dissolve them to death by reducing their viscosity, large portable bells/gongs for ruining the hearing of creatures that rely on sound, etc.)>Societies would progress slowly since it would be difficult for a country to reach a state of safety and security where it could support scholarship and research; once such a country emerges though, it might progress quickly due to all the innovations associated with funding warfare research>For living monsters, they'd need to be able to reproduce fast enough and on few enough resources to be a consistent threat; humanoids would exterminate them within a matter of centuries otherwise through violence and starving them out (this part is irrelevant if monsters spawn through magical means)>If undead exist, most cultures would have funerary rites that destroy the body (e.g. cremation); most undead would come from bodies humans couldn't destroyNone of this considers any magic that a society may or may not have, or that monsters are anything other than innately hostile to human life.

Are you painting abstract geometric shapes and not miniatures? The only problem you'll probably have is pigment not being applied uniformly and the fact that your paint will dry very fast on your brush. Are you painting miniatures? You know, from Latin "minimus" implying the existence of small details? Thin your fucking paints.
Looks good to me
You know, I’m surprised there aren’t consumer grade 3D auto painters yet. You put a model in - it 3d scans the figure, then you select paint shades and area on a computer, and then it mixes and paints to desired effect.
>>97234752But only using a GW brand autopainter and paints though, right? If auto painters came out some autist would be checking to make sure nobody used 3rd party paint (or god forbid, painted by hand models!) at the next tournament.
