How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97213989The goblins that the party deal with are just exiles from an advanced, overseas civilization that, in their enlightenment, have realized that the optimal way to deal with crazies is to just dump them in the uncivilized lands across the sea.
They do get extirpated, but they also emerge naturally from several species of animal that are themselves quite difficult to render extinct, so it's only a matter of time before they reestablish themselves in an area.
>>97216563which gender is an intersex person
>>97213989Because they've made anti-skavenism a hate-crime.
>>97216563There are zero genders.There are two sexes though.>>97217034Intersex people are intersex. It's in the term. Still not a third sex, just a mutation. To even consider it a third sex, intersex would have to have reproductive capabilities that differed from the two sexes, such as functional testes and functional ovaries at the same time.

Whi built the dungeon?
The dungeons in my setting are there mainly because of climatic upheavals. The frost giants brought about an ice age to force humans south and expand their own territory. That lasted for centuries before they were driven back and the artifact they used broken. Because of that, mankind is currently reclaiming lost cities and clearing out the strongholds of giants and their allies. The sea level also fell during the ice age, so many new ports had to be built which are now undersea dungeons.
>>97207618>those aren't dungeons, those are just... dangerous places.Let me ask you a powerful question, "What's the difference?">>97207618>what's the point of saying that they are "dungeons"?Mechanical vernacular.
>>97182523The Dungeon Designer duh
>>97199531I like this idea, the adventurers delving into a massive dungeon in search of treasure, riches and fame, with the unknown prize being the undead lich Whi waiting patiently in the center. Echos of the Temple of Elelmental Evil and the Caverns of whatchucallit.
>>97197677Its essentially the metaplot of Earthdawn, which is the prehistory of Shadowrun.

>>97216865I just use them as regular orcs but with bows. Meaning I move them forward, maybe shoot once and then charge with them or allow them to be charged. If you want proper shooting, I'd go with goblin archers or artillery. But I've noticed people tend to forget about them because they asume they're useless and don't even bother charging them or shooting at them. They cast a spell or shoot them with artillery once and that's it. So the advantage is they're staying pretty healthy until the late game. They're decent melee fighters, so when the oponent has injured units in later turns, they're a pretty good option to charge into things and finish them off.That's just the way I see it and bear in mind thinking strategically is almost anathema while playing orcs because fuck you, I'm going to charge into that unit and there's nothing you can do about it
>>97216948>implying the alternative of fielding a massive gunline and artillery spam to force you to come to them isn't equally cancerousDwarfs are gonna have to field something to compensate for their basically nonexistent movement. Weather that's rune jank, eye watering amounts of artillery and rifles, fleets of attack helicopters, or some kind of deployment shenanigans does it really make a difference?

I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.
>>97186108I like that primaris marines came out of it.
>>97212864Pretty much opinion exactly. It was pretty funny though how fast the excitement over 8th (oh thank god, 7th is dead at last!) turned to disappointment as it rapidly turned into its own form of debacle.
I remembering 1000pts of Eldar tabling 3000 pts of nids. I remember Eldar tabling Orks turn 1, fellow took out 100s of models, and didn't play a single one. We had a statewide tourney and the top 25 were all Eldar.
>>97213029Seconding a request for that
>>97186108There's an 8th Edition?! I stopped following the sales driven Churn in the 90s, have done my own thing and am I'm still enjoying playing 3rd-4th edition even today. Lets hope GW doesnt keep shitting out even more editions every couple of years, right? Imagine how sad you would have to be to just keep buying countless even shittier rules books just because the game company says you have to, to continue to play the game you already own and enjoy, right? LOL.
What are your experiences with in-game moral and ethical dilemmas and players saying, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave"?I feel as though a lot of GMs' attempts at in-game moral and ethical dilemmas are unwittingly sabotaged by adventure inertia and players' desire to avoid saying, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave."The way I usually see it structured, a bunch of antagonists stir up trouble. The PCs agree to help the locals. The party investigates some dangerous place or situation. Then, at the very end of the adventure, the PCs see that the antagonists have some vaguely justifiable reason for causing trouble.The above structure is perfectly fine (and indeed, I have used it many times myself as a GM), but where things get janky is when the antagonists sincerely plea for the PCs to just turn around and leave, and the GM earnestly expects this to be an option that should be seriously taken into consideration.I have never, ever seen this happen, for understandable reasons. Very, very few players want to say, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave." It is much more common for the players and their PCs either work out a compromise with major concessions from the antagonists, beat up the antagonists, or both (i.e. beat up, restrain, work out compromise and major concessions from position of power).(Continued.)
>>97200663>What are your experiences with in-game moral and ethical dilemmas and players saying, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave"?Here is the problem. You're presenting with the options of:1. Continue to play the game2. End the game early with an unsatisfactory ending. Also arguably undo all their progressLet's ignore that most people playing D&D don't really come here to deal with your philosophy and ethics 101 moral dilemmas. What you want to do is give them two (or more) options that allow the story to still keep going. Or if it's the end of the story - to choose how it ends. But the key to both of those it that it needs to be satisfying.And this is the problem with the "we turn around and leave" idea. Leaving is giving up. It's quitting. And your players didn't show up to quit. So think of a solution that's not "okay we quit" because that's never going to be the choice they make.
>>97200672>They are actually all having such a good time they wouldn't want to wake up>No you cannot ask them shut up>Just Shut up and let us beSometimes people get so static in their thinking that they forget that lying exists
>>97200672At the climax of your post, I turn around and leave.
>>97202404Imagine if this entire scene was set up just to fuck with the PCs by the Fae, for entertainment and to see what they would do?>PC draws sword and attacks.>Entire Fariey court and victims all vanish, the players are stood in an empty field at dawn, with a small scruffy gnomelike fae in front of them, rolling on his back and giggling "Boy, I got you with that one!"
>>97201023>Orcs don't think its immoral to eat peopleOrcs do know that what they're doing is immoral, they just believe the gods would get bored and destroy the world if immoral shit stopped happening all the time. This is why they burn down orphanages, kick puppies, and slaughter nuns. The gods will it. And this is also why orcs will only speak words of love in hushed whispers beneath the roof of their hovel, if they did it out under the open sky (where the gods live) the gods would surely punish the orcs for daring to yearn for a life beyond simple marauding.Orcs are like that because they believe the gods hate them.

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/. 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.

>>97190110This image causes me visceral disgust
>>97214245>might risk game balanceNot really when the shovel is more expensive than the basic melee weapons and you can't mix it with a shield since shields always take up 1 hand thus not allowing you to make a 2-handed melee attack with the shovel.
Gentlemen. I am happy to report that my knowledge of meshmixer to remix Trench Crusade STLs proceeds apace. I have successfully grafted in a polearm in place of the New Antioch Shocktroooper’s greatsword and am now experimenting with fixing an ugly mistake on the Trench Pilgrim’s War Prophet.
>>97214245It makes sense that an engineer would learn to use their shovel as a weapon, if only to reduce the need to carry both a shovel and a melee weapon.

>>97216663I kind of thought that 2 was more the "normal" score, and 3 was more "minimum of training".Doublechecking, you're right, silver swords are a rare prize - a Githyanki Knight of 7th level or higher, in AD&D, whilst high-level Githwarriors and mid-ranked gish & knights might carry either Greatswords +1 or Longswords +2, So, yes, the Silver Sword should definitely be stripped from the githwarrior and made something for githyanki knights (as a unit), heroes and lords, while standard githwarriors just wield great weapons.Appreciate you checking out the math!>>97216835>>97216883I'm not too familiar with the Scalykind Empires of the Forgotten Realms personally, but that certainly looks like a solid starting concept to me!
