We're going to have to come up with a phrase for the new era of Warhammer 40,000 ushered in by the Amazon TV show, DoW 4 and Total War 40k, and increased market value of Games Workshop.nu40k isn't going to cover it. nu40k is already bad enough for many of us from headier days like 1st through 4th edition. You are going to see horrific debasements to the thing you know and love that you will still see with your eyes closed. Every 80 IQ person with internet access will have an opinion on Warhammer without knowing what a Tau Remora Drone is.
>>97350583I think the same writers simply change shows every season.I watched Twsited Metal aftyer seeing some Sweet Tooth shorts, and I liked the humour. Holy shit season 1 start decent, but falls in ep4, then ep 6-7-8-9 are enclosed episodes, where the main characters spend most of their time saying 'sorry, mandatory sex scene, and a complete lack of in-universe logic , but at long as women are badass and men as wimps, it keeps getting made.Fallout series is the same, just more crap across the board.Whatver W40K series is made will be the same, the Imperium is bad and all that shit, yet we'll follow Imperials possibly with stereotypical Commissars and other shit. If they go 30k, then it'll be some cheap attempts at grand space opera which will fall flat due to the writers not knowing shit and not being smart.
>>97349600We do need to take the time to make sure we're all on the same about one very fucking important thing. Vin Diesel is sexier than Henry Cavill, and always will be. Even though he's not as tight and chiseled as his younger days, his fucking voice and demeanor and personality are the most ultimate expression of masculine erotica that this universe can produce, even in theory.
>>97344553gayhammer 40gay, the homos heresy, the tragic tale where Whore-us Lupercal leader of the Sons of Homos betrayed the empress of mankind
>>97353360And he also plays RPGs, unlike Cavil which, as >>97349600 said, is still missing showing off his army.Reading novels is all fine and all, but it's not playing the fucking game
>>97345348Crazy how a lot of the camera angles used mutated into b movie horror tropes. The close up is right out of evil dead. >>97345214Man, astartes was great and I loved sodaz's krieg video, but I got the feeling this was happening a while ago. The fact that every horus heresy side character that was 'badass' and would talk shit to primarchs was some sort of girlboss. The lt. Myra character in space marine 1, though I had no problem with her specifically, was a warning. Now every remaining imperial in any sort of authority that isn't a space marine legacy character is a woman, or black, or both. In a lot of media, the guard, hilariously, is taking the hits for what they obviously want to do to space marines. Out of the media that GW has put out, I can't think of a single heroic human white male that isn't subservient to a woman that is not a space marine. And their glands are malfunctioning or something because they're becoming increasingly minority. That said, it was pretty funny that they were weirdly lore accurate with the salamander in that necron show only being pigmented black. I'll probably find some way to watch the next astartes, but I gave up on everything GW after years and gave my poorly painted steel legion minis from the mid aughts to a neighbor kid to play with. It's just a soap opera with 2019 messaging written in at this point. Looking for something else to play and trench crusade made up for all its promise by sucking even harder than james workshop.
Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?

>>97328199I haven't had a bad fight with the Flower Knight, but yeah the first level was certainly easy in comparison with the second.
>>97339663You can spend 3 of them to trigger a Story Event if your Mere Navi is still alive. Decent outcomes on most of the rolls too!>>97345161and how many times have you lost literally everything in storage from the 50/50 roll on Conviction ...
So, is the KDS worth it now? Thinking of buying the core game + gambler's chest key, but does it come with features to actually make running the game with setup and shit easier? I've heard that the tracking for gambler's chest shit is nightmarish without scribe.
>>97351774I would say that right now, playing on the simulator itself is mostly okay (moving characters, rolling dice, readability, etc). There are still a lot of bugs and whatnot (desu I don't really find it excusable, but it is a small team so I am trying to give them some grace), but for PotDK I would probably recommend using Scribe in addition to the simulator. A lot of people have brought up issues of things not writing properly to character sheets automatically, I think I've heard about showdowns also not setting up properly because it doesn't check all the appropriate cards, etc. etc.
>>97345161I hate that resources are random drops, yeah I get that its for balance and monster hunter did it like this as well but, you supposedly keep the entire monster after a hunt, even in the prologue fight it shows that you drag the entire corpse of the white lion to the new settlement after you win.
What can you do to make bandit encounters more immersive and interesting than the old ambush-fight shtick?
>>97349486It's not an ambush. These bandits are confident. This is their highway, or their bridge, or something else of that nature. They're here to collect their toll, and they're not above beating it out of you.
>>97349486There's always the option to add morally grey elements.Alternatively you can add wrinkles like hostages, captured beasts, magical allies, dubious identity.It could be foreign agents trying to destabilize a region that have a barbarian lizardman they release, hidden traps all around the battlefield and the leaders surrender when loss is certain, claiming that they have a hostage that will die if they don't return
blackmail
>>97349486The bandits are on the payroll of a rival kingdom to spread disease across its fields and use rats as the main vector. They're the reason for those nasty creatures infesting the inn's basement.
>>97349486Robber Knights: AKA bored second and third sons of nobility with nothing to do and nothing to inherit that fucked off and lead a life of crime causing nothing but trouble and occasionally joining in in whatever military campaign was going on.

So what the hell was this thing? Cannot be a WarShip, right?
Are pocket warships able to fire their subcapital weapons on the ground? As in, would an Arondight be able to fire sub capital cannons at static targets or at hexes like artillery? Can AR-10 launchers be used as expensive missile artillery?
>>97353603the Bears dreadnaught or the WoB planet killer?

>>97353719The Arondight still has light subcapital cannons on the sides, but does that apply if they're landed on the ground? Even if they're direct fire only.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

Wait. Do you retarded motherfuckers think that a magic missile wouldn’t have particles to it? That a polymorph spell wouldn’t involve intelligent nano/particle shit to account for such specifics? ALL fantasy is going to have science to it and ALL science-fiction is a variant of fantasy. Magic/fantasy is a lens, much like physics/science is a lens.

Thread dedicated to Sci-Fi based discussion. 40k need not apply. [\spoiler]How goes your sci-fi setting, anon? I am currently running a Traveller game in a homebrew setting, and am getting lost in the sauce of stellar physics.
On the subject of Traveller, how do (you) feel about ansibles? Do you prefer your settings having inconvenient (ie. "slow") communication? Or instant transfer of information regardless of distance?
I've had an idea for a more space oriented cyberpunk game brewing for a while, though I'm reminded now that 2300 exists and while I'm not super familiar with traveller that also seems like an option. So what is trav like?
>>97352667I definitely prefer the thought of a information network time gated by jump mechanics. It can create some very interesting scenarios, and it can give players an actual sort of soft currency of exchanging news when they hit out of the way spots that aren't on the major trade paths
I've been interested in running Stars Without Number in a space frontier like Star Trek TOS
>>97352667Here are my rules1. FTL travel is only possible with a real sentient person controlling the ship. Don't try brain in a jar, it backfires.2. FTL communication inside of a solar system is possible, but only through some fairly expensive infrastructure.3. The vast, vast majority of information is carried by courier ships who must make the FTL travel by themselves.4. There is instant FTL galaxy-wide communications available, but only the big giant ancient asshole alien empire knows how to do it, and only those people extremely, extremely high up get to use it. This typically takes the form of pre-recorded video messages. A live holo-link with a member of the Imperial Court means someone on the other side of the call really fucked up. Humans (aka players) have access to this tech, but can only send very simple text messages, like telegrams, can be vulnerable to distortion, it's not reliable.I like the feeling of Traveller "Age of Sail" communication, but I also want to leave myself open to other stuff.

>>97348020>A DM has the right (some might even call it an obligation) to take a chainsaw to content that doesn't fit their setting or campaign. Polymorph spells are a gamebreaker? Declare that the 'rules of magic' in the setting just don't work that way. Mind-control magic can't be used to bypass entire plots if it doesn't exist (except in hostile hands as a plot device).Problem is you need to do it to a good chunk of spell list. And considering how many spells WoTC churned out it's a fucking pain in the ass.
