How is it? Looks bretty fun
>>97247524It’s a fuckin blast, love playing this shit with the lads. Before this game we were strictly into Gloomhaven, House on the Hill, or D&D. Now Gaslands has totally taken over the rotation. Gripping a random Hotwheels for $1 and totally destroying it for one night of dice rolling fun with the boys is shockingly satisfying. I don’t even paint my cars, I just kick em around the Meijer parking lot and call em ready. But my buddy is a massive talent with these, pic related, it’s Piss Drinker Pete’s war rig (we have a whole story campaign going on now)
>>97255863>I just kick em around the Meijer parking lot and call em readyBased Mittenbro>>97254780Any suggestions on a good rust paint/coating?
Does Slime combo out as easily as it looks? 2 performance cars loaded up for it (fenderkiss, rear drive, side rams) can bounce off each other quite a few times. Not infinite, but you'll go further than anybody else can, even with shenanigans
Shameless bump

>>97252494>The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants.Irrelevant, they were "invading", as you said>innocent untrained peasantsHow come we never noticed they are untrained? >They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.Their problem, not mine. They still invaded. Being guillable does not protect you from punishment.>THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!No, he doesnt.>Do you feel like a hero yet?Yes.
>>97258604>How come we never noticed they are untrained?You literally can't tell in the HEAT of battle.
>>97258634if i continue to fight invading soldiers, i will very quickly realize whether or not they act like trained soldiers with some discipline, or like some random people who never held a weapon before and dont know what formation is Because if you happen to be invaded by legions of untrained farmers, chances are this wont be a long war for them
>>97258649They are free to throw down their arms and surrender. Hell, I'll even send a messenger after the first few slaughters saying as much. If they literally shoot the messenger though... yeah no quarter.
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.

>>97258770No, I really wouldn't be. If you can't answer the question, don't reply.
>>97258983Holy fuck lmao see a shrink
>>97258994What?
>>97258984If you're going to be obtuse, the point being made is that a lot of game masters tend to get wrapped up in their role as entertainers that they forget they're the ones with the ultimate ability to say no, and likewise players forget that despite being the ones who make the majority of the decisions it's the game masters are the ones who can veto literally any action made at the end of the day. Seriously, do you need to see a therapist if you get this upset over every anon online?

Do Incapacitation and Mythic Resilience stack? In terms of mythic bosses upgrading their saves by a degree.
>>97258498>Mythic Resilience (1st): The creature treats its saving throws with the associated save as one degree of success better than it rolled. This is NOT cumulative with other effects that change their degree of success, like the INCAPACITATION trait (EXCEPT for rolling a natural 1 or 20). Each time the monster gains mythic resilience, choose one save. The ability should apply to the creature's highest saves first.Right from the description page of basic mythic abilities
>>97258822I guess the boss critically succeeding on all of my spells was just a rotten luck then.

MW5 really is pretty bad though. It limped along even with no competition and a slavish core fanbase of grogs that would buy all DLC day one, full price, no questions asked.
>>97258776It really was a mad dash to get it out the door even with epic's money. They must have been really worried microsoft will not renew the license.

>the dark lord just wants bitchesIs this a good villain motivation?
flop thread, too obvioustry another.
>>97258179Generally the way you get murderhobos involved is by their shit being broken by an antagonist's machinations. It might not even be "your girlfriend is hot, I'm gonna mating press her," but just his goons breaking a bunch of shit they own on their way to kidnapping the local nunnery.
Dark Lord dismisses himself when the adventurers fail to stop him and he eventually gets laid. Then it's all fine for a while until orcs kill his wife and it's time for revenge (and recruit adventurers to help him)
>>97258165My villain's original motivation was something like that, pure worldly greed and power and carnal desires, now it's to stave off damnation at the hands of six different petty demigods/archdevils that he thought he could get away with selling his soul to. Then Shar plucked him out of being metaphysically torn apart and made him one of her Chosen with the explicit understanding of what awaited him if he failed
>>97258165>Is this a good villain motivation?This is literally one of Dracula's primary motivations.
Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsingSo I started thinking.For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory? What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.Comment too long.

>>97258208What wargames do you prefer then? I'm in the rules-light model-agnostic camp, so the rampant games are good enough for me. I feel like they offer a decent mix of command friction, differentiation between units and meaningful decisions to keep me playing them.
>>97258559the WZE discussed here is a decent enough example i guessor Dystopian Wars, despite its alpha strike and turn 1 wipesthey got varied playstyles, quite different units...

After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session. Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.>4e books are ~10-15$ now. Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch. Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings? >4e thread I guess
>>97258439It's alright, it was a confusing sentence to be sure.It was actually using the Assassin mechanics that I 1 turn dropped a pc. I had storytimed it years ago.Deck of Many Things was involved.
>>97255815How much of a boost does it need in Paragon or Epic? I don't want to give it powers (that would defeat the point of having Essentials martials, which is simplicity for those who want it), but I would be perfectly fine with house-ruling some other bonuses into it.
Kinda felt like this was a waste of Dark Sun. Really wish the setting was still more popular.
>>97258839On the topic of campaigns, >Can anyone sauce me up a pdf for this thing?
>>97258742ALL of the Essentials classes fall off very hard past level 10 because of pausity of options.Basically, what you got from 1-10 gets a bigger number, but nothing new or something that matures the class in to new heights.>>97258839I disagree, as someone who played Dark Sun in 2e and recognizes that it was built with a different mechanics paradigm in mind.It was still ruthless on paper while instilling the fear of death in even high level pcs. Losing healing surges is the best and most efficient way to remind players of their pcs mortality, especially if they are cocksure, and it is really damn easy to do so in DS.That said, it also offered a way to do real heroics and cleave to the 4e ethos of 'You are big damn heroes, and can do big damn heroic things'.>>97258879A friend of mine was planning on running this. If you have time and the thread lasts, I can ask him to send me the pdf on promise to not read it.

I stand with Kurwa Kowalski!
>>97258196>>97258377I guess I get psyched about starting a warband, and then look at them and it's all stuff like "Orcs actually want to just stand back and shoot" "Your leaders shouldn't be anywhere near combat" "Just give everyone a sling/mace (depending on army" "Don't arm anyone with a shield or armour" and it's like, well, what's the fucking point of anything if the only advice given is "Everything is sub optimal except X for this warband"
>>97258986Mordheim is just a fucking dumb game that is propped up by nostalgiafags and 28 trannies. Let's hope GW remakes it as a grimdark answer to Trench Crusade but with good rules this time.
