What are the implications of the difficulty system in V20 compared to the flat difficulty in V5?
>>97192614It was just some dude having a roid rage while on fentanyl, don't worry about it.
>>97195141>Monsters who torment people to feed>But the people they torment totally deserve it!>Heroes are often a byproduct of this feeding process, people who rightfully become your nemesis and try to end your predations>They're depicted as being worse than Slashers and evil for trying to get you>Your presence is supernaturally soothing and complimentary to other supernaturals, often in an eerie, uncanny way>Depicted in a "mom says you have to let me hang out with you and like it no matter what I do" way
>>97193963Because pets get neutered.Alternatively (if thats too dark) it's because thats not how Fae reproduce. The Gentry will themselves into existance out of the Wyrd, then bargain for Titles to be something. Hobgoblins are made from dreamstuff, slivers of souls drifting the Hedge or the stuff that passes as matter within the Hedge/Arcadia. On some level the Fae might know what pregnancy is, but for them it's not needed, beyond as a performance for Drama.Changelings are still half human (or so they cope) and can neither reproduce as humans do, nor as Fae do.Personaly my headcanon is that Changelings are the larvae state of True Fae, the vestigal human souls remains acting as a sort-of cocoon and limiter on their power. So changelings can either mature to become Gentry and reproduce as Gentry do, use their magic like Contracts or Hedgespinning to make Hobgoblin children / use that one goblin contract from Goblin Markets (somethingsomething midwife) to make cursed mortal children.Coincidentaly i made a mini template for the children of changelings because it annoyed me as well.
>>97192668You realize that anarchs are formally part of the Camarilla, right? The anarchs of today are those that stem from the Convention of Thorns; the original anarchs that refused peaceful accords is literally the Sabbat.Blocking the anarchs from entry to Elysium would violate hospitality and the spirit of the convention. Only the Sabbat could reasonably - maybe - be denied the right to Elysium, and even that is only because they traditionally do not recognize its validity themselves. But even so, even the Sabbat is usually covered by it on the basis that if they were not, any kind of peaceful discourse would be literally impossible - they're really just (usually) watched closer than anyone else, and them showing up would likely ruffle feathers and result in a disc scratch sound effect.

>>97171823I like it as a concept but its shallow past the surface and the game mechanics just aren't that good. there's heavy favoritism in factions and some are worthless. I also dont like that it wasnt a kitbashing focussed community project like turnip was, and like I thought it was supposed to be.
>>97194611>I also dont like that it wasnt a kitbashing focussed community project like turnip was, and like I thought it was supposed to be.I mean it was. Early days that's all they had and there were loads of kitbashes everywhere. That's why Stargrave scavengers and Frostgrave Cultists were just permanently sold out. But looks like the 40k audience got involved so everything has to be official now. Although to be fair, most of the battle reports i see for it are using custom models, but it's possible they built those before the official release.
Is Malifaux still a mess? Also where do I even get started with its lore?
>>97179954Rules wise? No. There are a decent amount of older rulesets that could scratch that itch. Model wise? Dropfleet and Battlefleet Gothic are basically it. Most other starship ranges are just a few geometric shapes slapped together without rhyme or reason.
Is there any better option for miniatures of galley slaves and such than Perrys Zulus or Mahdists ?

Myth 1: Elves were not born on this world. They were stars or spirits from the Astral Sea who fell in love with the material world's beauty. They crafted bodies of flesh to touch the flowers and taste the water, but in doing so, they became trapped in the cycle of mortality.Elves are melancholic. They don't "die"; they fade. They view other races as "mud-born"—native to the dirt, whereas Elves are trapped tourists.Myth 2:The world was a chaotic, overgrown garden of monsters (Dragons, Giants). The Gods created Elves as the "Gardeners" to prune the chaos. Their long lives are necessary because the work of civilizing nature takes centuries.Elves are militant perfectionists. They view Orcs, Goblins, and even Humans as "weeds" that grow too fast and choke the garden. High Elves favor this myth.Myth 3: The Changelings (The Folk/Horror Myth)The Belief: (Held by Humans and Dwarves) Elves are not real people. They are fey spirits who steal human infants and replace them, or they are reflections in mirrors that stepped out. They have no souls, which is why they don't sleep (trance).You cannot trust an Elf. They simulate emotion but do not feel it. If you kill an Elf, their body turns to leaves or mist.

There already is a gameless general elf-shitposting and no-games daydreaming stuff thread.
>>97194725And nothing. OP is a script running to create insipid threads to make the board Whittier. I'm sure this thread's OP has been posted before if you go back.and search in the archives.
GW kept mentioning space marines or even primarchs coupling with regular human women and it always took me out of it. Like how the fuck? Wouldn't she get ripped in half? But then it dawned on me. They just have tiny penises. Well not by human standards, but relative to body-size. Like think about it, why would you supersize the dick too when there literally do not exist women big enough to handle that size? So the simplest explanation is they just keep the penis size of a regular human.
>>97184977Anon, that's anal. Realistically you're gonna fit about 4-5 inches comfortably before you ram the cervix and cause a shit load of pain.
>>97172457You guys sure are concerned about the wrong thing...
>>97172457Growth hormone really works its magic on complex bone structures, which is why skulls, hands, and feet really grow when you abuse it. They absolutely would have human sized penises, if not even smaller from never experiencing the sexual component of puberty. 6'7" roid freaks (Jes proportions and bigger than that just gets stupid) with literal baby dicks.
>>97186536I've seen girls putting extremely big dildos in her asses and cunts. Probably is not a dick for anyone, but it could be possible.

>>97194045The game was original. The formula was working when it fired off. They just didn't know where to steer it and it all went down hill when talents started showing up.
>>97194053the game did some cool things, but these shitters acted like literally no other ccg ever had done "1v1 fighting game where you play cards from hand as attacks and blocks". like motherfucker just because the only thing you've ever played is mtg does not make that shit original.
>>97194045>fuckers with no survival instinct.I don't know about all that. Two things can be true at the same time, there was an interesting game with some pretty sharp rule design, but it was ultimately never quite able to live up to its potential. Ultimately the company shifted towards more predatory business practices, on top of mismanaging the balance of the game, despite making millions off of tournament attendance. They don't have to make a well thought out product anymore, they just have to put on a good show.
>>97186429there are god boxes/cases with several unique foils in them, it's been that way since at least beta, and now they have actual god packs with all foils. I opened a box of beta wave 1 that had like 4-5 foil uniques before. Also had a similar thing with arthurian legends where i opened a case and got several unique foils and a curio in it. So far i've opened 3 unique foils out of 8 gothic boxes.wow what is with these retarded unsolvable captchas now
>>97193873Lies.I shot fab.
What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97195199You know, perhaps a good way to satisfy both modern sensibility and uniqueness would be to give multiple origin stories to each race. Multiple explanations and theories, but the true one lost to history.
>>97195236Creationism vs darwinism, or some such?
>>97195243Yeah, but also competing myths some positive others negative, others that can be viewed as both. Perhaps this race was punished for attempting to steal fire from the gods, so it is seen both as a punishment but some as a celebration for liberation against the tyranny of the gods. Meanwhile another myth about their predecessors climbed the World Tree and spoke with their god, learning the name of the spirts, and descended blessed as the first shamans. While other races saw them with envy.

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.

>>97190110>TQSo far I've played 7 games, 5 with Sultanate and 2 with Court and I prefer Court, seems more difficult but more rewarding.First Court game I got tabled because I didn't understand what I was supposed to be doing. Second game I turned on the blood factory, rolled hot and absolutely demolished my opponent. Sadly my Praetor rolled 11 on injury and died (RIP 241 ducats).Fluff-wise the allahu akbars are still my favorite, love me some homunculi, but they feel maybe a bit simple to play.
>>97174488I've been playing as Court in a campaign game recently and I am genuinely amazed the left hand path hunter is still as broken as it was on releaseWe've homebrewed a rule change where it can only teleport to a spot it can actually see and it is still hilariously broken>Oh just focus it downSure if it somehow finds itself in a bad position you can try to focus it down, it is not like Court has a bunch of high-armor high-threat monsters that are going to tear you apart. And even then if you happen to get a crit or hit it with something big it just nullifies the wound
>>97175256>>97175277I feel your pain anon, I have a guy like that in my battletech/TC group, the only "advice" I can give is to tell him to stop playing like his life is on the line and if that fails and you stop having fun playing against him just stop playing with him.
>>97190328>One would think one faction for the British Isles would sufficeNonsense, clearly we need a new welsh-based NA subfaction after the 7th Prussian box is dropped.The thing with subfactions is that they generally take the nation most general historical-stereotypes and build on them. Spain has 2 historical elements that even the greatest mouth-breather know about it: Conquistadores and Inquisition. The former goes away because America was never conquered and the latter eats at the heels of the trench pilgrims.Also Spain is unfortunately just not as popular or well known internationally as Ireland / Scotland / England / Prussia>>97193406I like it overall but I agree with >>97194221 that you should dial some of the buffs back. Other than that I would just allow the Tercio to take bolt-action rifles. Also maybe do not allow the knights and inquisitor to benefit from the procession for different fluff reasons. Processions happen in Spain during Holy Week but I would not say we worship Mary the same way we worship Jesus.
>>97190237This is already covered by house of wisdom
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).
>>97182644>American "christianity"I saw this claim on South Park, you wanna elaborate on what you mean by it aside from not liking them?
This is why I like the Daedric Elder Scrolls pantheon more than the Warhammer chaos gods. They have more personality and individually while the chaos gods are too archetypal and generic. I guess the trope started with Howard with Stygian Set and Lovecraft and then expanded by Moorcock, that there are inhuman forces of entropy that defy understanding that mortals humanize with their own motivations and motives. However that perspective is still too rational for someone to even comprehend fully, the only rational thing is to then go insane like in most Lovecraft stories. I like the fact that the Daedra also can have positive qualities depending on your goals , its a much more polytheistic attitude that you would expect from someone who believes gods exist and affect the world. Mehrunes Dagon is the prince of destruction but also represents mortal ambition. Boethiah is the prince of treason, assassination, but also the overthrowing of authority. A worshipper in TES could oportunastically switch up on worshipping DnD cosmology is more egregious with this, considering people know that things like Demons, Devils and Hell exist, unlike in the Warhammer fantasy world. People who go for the pure evil cults like Cyric, Bane and Bhaal are just pure unapologetic sociopaths and even more organized cults like the Zhentarim barely hide it. I also remember some good fanfiction about Lotr and how would the rationalization of cult of shadow and Melkor/Sauronite religion look like, in that Sauron's agents would spread the lie that the world was basically an illusion and that there were many world like Arda and that reality would not be created if not for Melkors "dark element" (not contradicting Tolkien in this way): https://notionclubarchives.fandom.com/wiki/Mysteries_of_the_Shadow
>>97160877Modern day liberals would worship Lamashtu.
>>97169443They're just a bunch of edgelord atheists.
>>97160877Anon there are shitloads of people who are nihilistic and empty enough that they will gladly murder innocents and die just to stick it to society.
Why is Age of Sigmar so universally despised? I thinkthose rat dudes look rad, wish we had them in 40k
>>97162396>I thinkthose rat dudes look rad, wish we had them in 40kWish granted.
>>97162444Fantasy sucked ass, literally just Lotr but dark but then the movies came out and mogged the entire aesthetic of Fantasy. AoS was an evolution of Fantasy.
>>97194542>AoS was an evolution of Fantasy.In the same way modern WoW is an "evolution" of classic WoW or RS3 was an "evolution" of OSRS, i.e. complete and utter enshittification and gigapozzing and the upheaval of everything that made them good to begin with.

The Lifespan/Age section looks like the result of a /tg/ character sheet thread
Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.

You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97189301All the beats flow well. My only issue is how small this is. Is this all limited to Earth? Cause unless they are and there is an insanely limited number of people/low replacement rates, it makes no sense. The first space nation, to me, should number in the 100 millions at minimum, with maybe 10 mil for fighting forces, a million at least.
>>97193586It will eventually have hundreds of millions, have no fear of that. But first, the Earthbound must learn that space colonization isn't just a fad, but rather the future.
>>97175594
>>97194028Alright. Personally, I'd still go for bigger military forces, but it could be justified by whatever stuff is happening at the time.
>>97194435I really wanted the opposing forces to be small enough that the scale is comprehensible. "The US army got pasted by a single regiment" is something people can understand.Besides, one of the main inspirations was the First Opium War.

>>97195070I don't encounter Ruin Mode that much anymore, but it left a big enough impact on me when I started playing that I couldn't think of anything more suitable.My other consideration was Quartzmon, not because I hate playing against it, but because I very quickly got sick of 'Just run Quartzmon' as deckbuilding advice.
>>97195070>chimeraHow well does it work against current meta decks? Are you ver2 focused?
>>97195213When I first won with it (before Insane Synthetic Monster came out), my opponent asked me if I thought it was good or people just didn't know what it did. It's definitely the latter. Best of the meta matchups are any of the Gallantmon slop decks, worst is probably Jesmon. Rocks, Omnimon and Mastemon are fine. Hudie basically depends on both our luck and the number of Ryuji/Ice Archery they run (like Ciel Awakened, stunning Analog Youth basically guarantees a loss)Yes Ver.2, SkullGreymon is the main combo card and Vademon slows down most decks enough to get set up. Might consider Ver.5 once Millenniummon is out but the deck would look pretty different
