What are the funniest wargame mechanics you've ever encountered?
>>97236410In the original Necromunda there were certain missions that used the nightfight rules. There was a specific callout that the nightfight rules did not apply to a target that is on fire.
>>97238072Wouldn't the infamous Kroot Conga Line is less a funny rule and more an unintended rules interaction?
>>97239200Less than unintended, the white scars player had several options at the time. Khan would have let him outflank on a side edge, ruining the conga line plan. Any tank could have tank shocked the kroot when they entered, forcing them to move and making the unit contract to maintain coherency and opening a way for the rest of the force. A rhino could have saved the game.He did neither of these things. The moral is Dawn if War deployment and null deployment are bad.
>>97238072The famous match in which a powergaming autist is out gamed.

>>97242538It is real and it is overblown for the most part.
>>97242769Enfield Monster-reported encounter april 25, 1973 - enfield, illinois-encountered firsthand - dec 2025 - -details from reported case are similar to what was encountered recently-approx 5.5 feet tall-human-like torso, hunched over-large mouth, sharp teeth, bite is capable of breaking firearm and doing heavy damage to steel plate body armor-two large, pink/red, glowing eyes. glow visually oscillates, like cuttlefish? hypnosis when looking directly into eyes, maybe close range? also can possibly inflict a sort of hysteria and amnesia afterwards, similar to werewolves? I was hypnotized during last encounter-- body cam footage shows me sinking to my knees and dropping my rifle. Doesn't immediately wear off after creature is killed. I'm being monitored for long term effects.-3 legs, capable of delivering lethal kick. can also grab and lift full grown woman with leg.-2 short arms, sharp claws-footprints 5+ toes?-can leap vert/horiz 20+ feet. don't know about other movement.-horiz leap capable of knocking over full grown man.-no hair, leathery, gray. blends in well with trees. this with the big eyes might be why it was dismissed for an owl in 1973.Comment too long.

Been a few days. Mostly beaten the infection. Felt good enough to go to a Christmas party. Probably a mistake, there were some people there nobody in town knew, kept catching them shadowing myself and a few others. Fucking feds. Gave them the slip on the way back to Fort GNP, and I haven't seen anyone poking around on my security cameras. Still mulling over my options. Driving me up the wall.>>97227916The converted humans came out of the water and climbed aboard rapidly, likely the same with the walking squid. We think the derelict is a trap to lure in sailors for more people to convert. One of us had the bright idea to light up the boat beneath the waterline while we fled, several days later it's gotta be sunk, guy had a machinegun, like an old M60 I think. Can't say I know any wizards. >>97228548While you're probably right, there's a few practical problems. One, all I ever hear about the feds is how they're in bed with the monsters. Two, I have done things that could get me fired or worse while working for the much more mundane federal government. Fort GNP is a wonderful place, it's also incredibly illegal. Been wondering if there would be a way to safely leak information on that thing to the MIBs. >>97233356I got a cellmate looking into some old whaling gear, from before it got banned, to see if any of it is usable. I'd rather not Ahab it, but if we could harpoon it and slam it into an iceberg or drag it into the pack ice that might work.
>>97242538>>97242701Beginning to think I may have been working for them all along. I'm not really in with them enough to know but I'll certainly be letting you fellows know.>>97242806How would you report your friend's reaction to being alone with the creature? Or how does he talk about it if he remembers? That sort of panic does seem pretty similar to what we've felt with the werewolf in the unlucky circumstance one of us was alone after. Didn't last too long though I think, luckily. You didn't get to keep any body parts?>>97243132I thought you were working for the government? At any rate, best hope whaling the beast can be left to your last resort. Whaling was dangerous enough without the supernatural being involved.

>>97237000Magic. Walter Williams in Hardwired had a decently grounded take on how his panzers operated as low altitude VTOLs with the obvious drawbacks of those types of vehicles, e.g. huge signatures, small size, terrain limitations, etc. Mike mindlessly copied them and removed all of the limitations. The only explanation left for 2077 vehicles, especially the large ones, is anti-gravity.
>>97243120There is no planet where David picks a fight with Smasher man-a-mano and walks away. An experimental combat conversion barely put him on the level. To anyone who isn't on the top 10 list of the most violent and skilled Solos alive, dealing with him is a team effort and to those who are on the list, they wouldn't be stupid enough to let it be a fair fight either.He is an apex predator in the most literal sense of the word, not that there aren't bigger or more dangerous things that could show up, but that there is no natural rung above him on the flood chain. There are others like him and they should be treated with the same respect in any plan that could ever possibly see them as a factor.I'll allow 2077 being inadmissible on account of the tautological nature of 'main character' and 'final boss' in a videogame; it's still one of our best frames of reference as to what is involved in going 9 rounds with the champ: That is to say it's difficult for anyone even at the peak of their game.He's not Cain, he doesn't guarantee a loss, but you would have to be stupid to choose to pick a straight fight unless you were forced to. I am strongly inclined to believe that Blackhand did not jump off of a helicopter on to Arasaka tower, take off his shirt and say "LETS DO THIS TINMAN", if only because we know that's almost exactly what Silverhand did and we know what it got him.
>>97243184>dealing with him is a team effortdidnt Lucy, an trained arasaka runner, also touch Smasher? I assume that's what anon means by 'could have' but the show made them fight the fbc one by one for ease of storytelling instead of the crew ganging him up
>>97243228Frankly a united front wasn't going to really help; David and company, fresh and ready at peak performance could probably deal with Smasher in the sense of being able to inflict significant damage, survive and retreat; but taking him when they're hurt and tired on his home turf takes blood they frankly don't have. Most crews are in the same boat whether it's Smasher or Blackhand or Shaitan or any other number of old hands; you need to be bringing your best to meet them on an average day; or ensure their day has been a whole hell of a lot worse than average.The only way Smasher is substantially different than any other example of high powered players is that his MO is that of a terrorist attack, shock and awe, incredible singular violence against those unequipped to handle it. His one-man band routine indeed relies on the fact he's not deployed for fair fights, but it will be no consolation if you have to bury all your friends, skip town and call yourself lucky.Regarding Lucy, she did and she got a digital backhand for her trouble. She'd probably be a huge part of any combined plan and in any fight long enough to drag out she could do some serious work on him, but individually she's just too fragile.Put differently, one to one, you need armor and firepower equal to or exceeding a military FBC to stop Smasher from doing what he does best: grinding meat. You need to have something to stop the knife from cutting or he will pass right through.
>>97237000Harrier Jet style engines. That's what is directly quoted in 2020. While they do actually have the power to lift something like an AV it is a tricky proposition to keep it stable at speed when flying a minivan as opposed to a sleek jet.

>>97242572Shit I forgot Large gives -4 to hide so hide here is actually +0. Also, a Worg is actually Long not Tall so space/reach would be 10/5 not 10/10.

Guys, I want to talk about HELLPIERCERS. I bought this game a bit ago because I thought it looked cool, and I've read it, and I don't know enough people weird enough to play it with me, and I can't stop thinking about it, and I just have to talk about it with someone.>First up: what the fuck is Hellpiercers? And why do you spell it in all-caps? Do you have autism?HELLPIERCERS is a tactical tabletop RPG developed by SandyPug Games alongside a few people who did some dev work on some of the Lancer supplements. It casts the PCs as gnostic demigod heroes and veterans of the War in Heaven, who aided the forces of humanity in regaining their stolen gnosis and slaying the Demiurge, his Archons, and angelic generals. Having conquered Heaven and liberated the mortal plane from the tyranny of false divinity, they now cast their eyes downward, into Hell, where countless human souls remain enslaved by the demon lords below. Hellpiercers, armed with their god-slaying weapons, clad in armor forged from the corpses of angels, lead a war of liberation against the forces of Hell, to free the enslaved souls of every human who has ever lived.I spell it in all-caps because it's title is rendered in all-caps. I'm pretty sure I'm not autistic, but I've never been tested, so who even fucking knows?
>>97241960>Promethean-grade Hylic Rejection FieldMm. I think I have determined why the game gets such a poor reception on this site...So the tactical combat phase reminds me a lot of ICON and Gubat Banwa, less so Lancer and 4e, but I think I get how this is meant to work. And then the strategic phase seems to include the players (collectively?) spending strategic resources, unlocking the tech tree, and maybe doing stuff like you'd find in Armour Astir's "Conflict Turn" to advance the course of the war, is that right?Would that make the recon phase analogous to Lancer's "Downtime Actions," a mix of RP scenes and building up some benefits to use in the next fight?
>>97242444It is certainly a wordy game. I will be the first to admit that it frontloads a lot with a lot of in-universe jargon and buries the lede in terms of what the actual structure of play on the campaign level looks like.ICON and Gubat Banwa are better points of comparison, yes. Yeah, STRATCOM is spent with the players and the GM taking a couple of turns (as many as is necessary between tactical combat sorties based on strategic map movement and other factors) moving about the map, encountering shit on the overworld, spending resources, constructing buildings, performing rituals and other actions that affect the pace and the standing of the ongoing conflict. And RECON is, in fact, the unstructured, "narrative layer" play, mostly for exploring Dis, pursuing personal objectives, and finding cool shit in the Chambers, Vaults and Caverns under the city. It's kept deliberately loose, and most of the points of interaction relate to the tags you assign to characters and gear during chargen. Like, with Lancer's pilot-scale gameplay, it's probably going to be the most controversial part of gameplay for players who don't jive with something like Blades in the Dark.Also, notable is that you never roll to attack during TACCOM. The forces of Hell are overwhelming. Everything around you wants to kill you. The air you breathe? The microbes in it want to perforate your lungs. The ground beneath your feet? Would love to open up and swallow you whole. You can't swing a stick without hitting something that wants you dead, so why bother? Damage is still randomized, and enemies don't roll to attack either, so careful positioning and risk management matter even more than in Lancer and ICON.
>>97235095Why the hell is Gnosticism so popular?
>>97242679Because it's meaningless. It's a word to prove that you're not like the other girls (male).
>>97242679Gnosticism posits that the secret truth of the universe is that we are trapped in an illusion/simulation/prison, and the deity responsible for this is evil. So by rejecting this twisted reality and fighting against it, you are a heroic rebel. It lets you be iconoclastic, rebellious, but also be the good guy because you're aligned with a greater cosmic good that exists beyond the demiurge. You get to have a punch-up with god, but like, without having to go full fedora about it.Which does kind of boil down to what >>97242687 says, I admit
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>>97241926You apply affirmative action to your fantasy? Good for you
>>97234702Does a magical parasite that took over the body of a wizard count?I was basically just helping my friend play an NPC that would betray the party and be a more interactive boss fight.The wizard was technically a half elvish female, but the brain slug never cared about such trivialities, part of the fun about being a parasite was being weird and off putting to see if anyone caught on.Only time I even bothered with a female and I technically was playing something else entirely.
>>97242165>Does a magical parasite that took over the body of a wizard count?Yes. Gay is gay. There's no excuse.
>>97234961Masks of Nyarlathotep?
>>97234966Considering they're RPing 24/7, yeah, you could say so.
How do you like your mutants?Do you like them looking more like anthros or circus freak shows?
>>97240785So this thread that's killed? Can you not make that thread topic again? That would be weird.
>>97240812No, because then you'd just be in an endless cycle of repeated content and a ton of these useless threads constantly popping up, degrading the quality of the board. Go on, post another stupid question to show you still don't get it, you infinite spastic.
