Feudum got reprinted, so did Arkwright and Manhattan Project: Energy Empire. Did anyone play these games? The new or old version? Were the people clamoring for the reprint?
>>97254115The game selection varies by store so unless you're ordering online I can't give you a straight answer. Their selection tends to be pretty big and the last time I went they had at least 5 games I had a strong positive impression of so I think you'll find something you like. If you really can't pick anything, post photos and we've give recommendations. Two words of caution: games for small children are a separate section from other games and in the main games section it's common for games to be hidden behind other games on the shelves.
Just 4 more days and I'll succeed at playing at least 1 game a day. Pretty good year average. Only bought 13 new games, but played 66 new ones; and without counting the light/filler/short games in the stats my top 10 played would be GWT, Barrage, FCM, Pax Ren, Pax H+, Western Legends, Horseless Carriage, GAH, Through the Ages and M&M; so really happy about it.How was your 2025, anons?
>>9725442718 hours week average on boardgames is obscene, I wish I had so little responsiblities in my life. Happy for you if this makes you happy but yikes
>>97254591I'm pretty good at managing my time (must be all the board games I play). Getting my workmates into board games made this a possibility too.

How do I tell Sora to stop adding boobplate.("No boobplate" didn't work)
>>97254509AIs in general don't tend to do well with negative prompts. I would just make the gen and then use an AI image editor or inpaint with the prompt "smooth armor".
>>97254493The action itself is gross, I didnt even consider consent. Idk man seek help
>>97254509Sounds to me like there's something in your prompt that's telling Sora to make it sexy.I just genned pic related as a test, and this is what "a female knight wearing armor" looks like. No problem with it giving her boobplate.
>>97254509Not being a huge faggot, did you tried writing with details the type of armor she's using?
I've been working on a game for about five years and wanted to share it, but I can't seem to upload pdfs anymore. Why is this? I thought /tg/ was the hub for sharing rules systems. A lot of the stuff I played while designing was downloaded from the sharethread, are they also suffering from this?

Regarding life in the Imperium of Man, is there any way to have pleasant, comfy lifestyle, for your regular menial? Or do you need to be at least born noble?

In all seriousness, how can you get yourself to enjoy playing games when /tg/ players are so insufferable, socially and aesthetically in real life >try to play 40k >it's all actual obese autists with animes T shirts and don't understand the concept of an inside voice >try to play RPGs>It's fat 40 year olds with goatee or ungroomed beard and shaved head, marvel T shirt and jorts and wearing those weird flat Irish hats >visit LGS on card gaming night >take one whiff and immediately turn around and leave It's actually distressing because I want to actually get to play in the hobby I love so much, but it doesn't seem to be possible if you can't find normal people to play with Solution?

How did I not know there was a C3M panther before?
>>97254301Because it doesn't have a record sheet and is one guys custom ride.
>>97254363Oh really? I was looking through the back of force manual kurita and happened to see it. Kinda sucks, I needed a cheap master unit too
>>97254363>>97254422nah it's not Unique
>>97254422>>97254486It was originally mentioned only in passing in Combat Manual Kurita as the ride of a guy who got a C3M as a reward for service, on his mech and ability table he has both a 9R and CM listed. If they made it not unique, then I'd guess it's a "standardized custom" kind of deal where they do it on a case by case basis for worthy Panther pilots.

Suggesting an additional TQ for next thread:"How do you do Ace Customs? Are there any? Do they have improved performance, or are the exact same as other mechs with a different finish?"
>>97250544>for next thread:We are a grand total of 43 posts in.
>>97250544Yeah, like the other anon said, we're not due for another thread for a while.I like how Lancer does it in that you can easily apply templates to NPCs to make them more threatening or weaker or more unique. Throw a Veteran or Elite on an enemy to make them stand out a bit more and give them a standout ability. Throw Ultra on something you want to turn into a boss with a game changing weapon or tech.
>>97250215Are you using RPG or just wargame rules?
In your game, do you treat bows as strength- or dexterity-based weapons?
>>97252583Too long of a list to put in a 4chan post, but your Damage is tied to your Skill Ranks from a 1d2 to 1d12 (1-5) with some features allowing you to bump it up to 2d6 or in the case of most casters dropping down to a flat 1 damage. Weapons are more defined by their Tags, which include areas of effect, reach, magazine size, and so on as well as range modifiers and weapon type. Weapons do not have unique Damage of their own.There is also the [Exotic X] Tag which has the X value be a Species in the game, meaning if you aren't of that Species you must have a 10 (max value) in the relevant Core Stat for that Weapon's Skill (i.e., a katana, used by the not!elves, requires 10 Might if you want to use it and you aren't a not!elf).Spellcasters inherently suffer in terms of what kind of Armor or Weapons they can use; fullcasters cannot use armor at all (Armor adds modifiers to Defense Checks, as I hate static AC), and their Damage Tier with Weapons of all types drop 2 tiers, and 1 tier for spell damage (with the exception of the not!sorcerers, who are the dedicated blasters and ignore this reduction to spell damage). THere are also no free damage spells; all the Cantrips in the system are utility options in capable of causing harm. So, better carry a (sub-optimal) weapon so you won't be caught lacking when you run out of MP.Gonna be running it some time probably early-mid 2026 once the game in that time slot now wraps up.

>>97253959>>97254004Nta, these are some ancient looking reiksguard anon.In any case, it's very different from whfb. If you're diehard into fantasy chances are you won't enjoy aos. It's very different, and just not the replacement that gw wants (or wanted) it to be. As for the actual game, it's alright. 2nd edition was widely considered the peak. Current edition (4th) has solid core rules, but they sucked all the flavour out of warscrolls and armies. If gw manages to turn that around and stop having every fucking ability deal d3 damage on a 3+ the game will be sovl again.
>>97253903No, you honestly missed the good period. Late 2nd edition was great, 3rd was okay, and 4th is fucking awful.>>97253996TOW desperately needs to get some actually interesting factions added. I like the game, but it needs the proper Warhammer flavor.

Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.

>>97252675I don't know what kind of GMs you've had to deal with, but the majority of them are not socially stunted and sociopathic manbabies whose only motivations for running a game are to gaslight and torment their players while sucking themselves off. Guys like Gary Gygax, Daniel Fox, and James Wallis were and are still a minority, and they surrounded themselves with sycophantic asskissers specifically because any normal person would've told them to fuck off a long time ago.Unless a GM is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to play in his basement, players aren't typically going into a game fearful and submissive, begrudgingly giving the GM power over them so they can get ball-busted. Most GMs don't fixate on power dynamics and view the rest of their group as playthings for an exercise in social engineering. Only very bad and very mentally retarded GMs do, and they have never been the majority.Gygax himself, the golden cow of shitty GMs who justify their behavior, disavowed how he used to be. Unrepentantly awful GMs are very rare and you can usually see (and smell) them a mile away.>>97253535There's a world of difference between wanting a power fantasy where everything goes your way with zero adversity, and an anti-power fantasy where no matter what you do it doesn't matter and the GM farts in your face while he murders your character.

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.
Some aliens may reproduce by having pollen spread that fertilizes whoever it touches rather than copulation, consent probably isn't done the same way with such aliens.
>>97251832I'm so sick of this "muh 4 limbs is most optimal" line of argument. Our number of limbs has NOTHING to do with some sort of biological optimum. Our number of limbs stems from our evolutionary history from how our bodies develop during the embryonic stage. If there was some sort of evolutionary pressure towards small limb counts we wouldn't see arthropods with limbs numbering from 6 all the way to over a thousand depending on the clade and the species.The reason landbound vertabrates have 4 lims is because we evolved from a 4 limbed ancestors, and the way our bodies develop makes it very, very hard for extra limbs to be cleanly added to our form. That is because the bodysegments/tagma in chordates are heavily fused, including our limb producing segments, thus essentially in order to produce new limbs you'd need a series of mutations that solely duplicate the parts of the genome responsible for limb development, in a way that these extra limbs still cleanly connect and join the rest of the bodyplan.In comparison, something like a centipede, whose bodyplan retains entirely unfused limb producing bodysegments, can just replicate those segments as they grow in size without any issues, as if they were just adding identical beads to a rosary string. Whereas for vertabrates, if we use similar comparison, the parts of our bodies from which our limbs grow out out, are all tangled up in the same body segments that also develop our internal organs and shit. Essentially, our torsos are a product of multiple bodysegments fusing together in our early evolutioary history, leading to the 4 limb configuration.Same process is why insects have just 6 limbs, or why spiders have only 8 limbs and so on. Once body segment fusion happens it is very hard for evolution to untangle it.
