How do I get my players to stop calling everything dwarf related "digslop"?

Currently toying with the idea of a low fantasy RPG set in the Wild West. The main premise would be a Luck mechanic; Every character has somewhere between 10-20 HP and about up to 50 Luck, most shots from a revolver up close can one shot a character's HP but the damage first goes to Luck. Luck can also be used to add or subtract from rolls, it is a finite resources that can only be replaced during down time (Don't have a clear idea about how yet, I have been toying with having to win a hand of poker or just get drunk).Thoughts?
I give up.
Any examples of tabletop wargames with good character vs character combat?Im adapting a setting where its very much pulp heroes being badass and doing a tabletop version of it. I want hero vs hero or hero vs squad to matter. Just looking for inspo. Thank you everyone.
>>97368672I think having something as "evanescent" (or whatever you want to call it) as Luck be turned into basically armor is a bit of a waste thematically. Maybe some sort of karma system where when you use luck points, any cricitcal fail hits even harder ?Something with a "push your luck" aspect, the more you push back negative effect using luck, the harder it bites you in the ass later at the worst possible time.I like the idea of integrating poker hands or getting drunk to regain Luck, that's fun ! Also, maybe think of doing something with the fact that there are 6 bullets in a revolver and 6 sides on a D6 ? A russian roulette mechanic ?>>97370854I have created a game that is only 1v1 combat using handmade zines as your battle moves, where each opponent action is revealed simultaneously. Maybe it could be adapted in a tabletop format with fig and such.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x5R6_JlljTJqX63ZDYx-bjOq2vA8mt_vq3WJEgI7Yyg/edit?tab=t.cfwf52us8g7s#heading=h.7yiwdeagxie2Do you guys know of any indie game publishers that would be the next step after printing 10x copies of your game and sharing it with friends ? I'm looking for the equivalent of underground DIY music label that do runs of 100 tapes of CDr but for /tg/ stuff.
>>97354371I came up with acuity for a game project of mine and I think it could fit here.

Clerics having wizard-like magic powers (in the vein of D&D and dertivates) is too over the top. How can I make their abilities more subtle?
>>97368911A cleric dedicated to a fire god still shouldn't be able to throw fireballs around.
>>97363850that's literally the opposite of what a cleric should do
>>97362388>Clerics having wizard-like magic powersmages are from magic, which is the persian word for priestsmagical powers are the powers of priestsmagic is a divine power
>>97362388I think paladins usually have a good balance of small but important divine powers that are used to supplement their physical abilitiesThis isn't really based on anything, but I always thought divine powers shouldn't be "at-will" for anyone but actual divine entities such as angels. Instead, it should require prayer or just plain getting worked up with zealous fervor, and such power scales the more manic the user's current mental state is.Wizards can cast straight out of a book with their reagents. It's mystical, but has an element of academia/scientific methodology to it.Divine users have to genuinely channel the divinity of their patron gods by aligning their mind and spirit with them, and that's incredibly difficult to do at all hours of the day. Rather, it comes in bursts during important moments like feeling deep compassion for the sick and injured, or righteous indignation against a wicked enemy.Those sorts of thematic differences are important because they're character informing, rather than necessarily because the mechanics of it play out dramatically different.

dead before bump limit edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness.

>>97370641NTA, what’s also ridiculous to me in terms of the Harvester event is that instead of noisy gear being some kind of rare situational sidegrades that (as a concept) isn’t really expanded upon, it’s in fact the opposite and there has been a significant amount of new noisy gear in the expansionsHell, GCE adds a quarry SPECIFICALLY focused on noisy gearAnd what’s the current intended fix for the noisy gear that Poots came up with? That’s right, two 60 dollar white boxes (one of which is also seasonal) that provide bandaid solutions and add SOME counterplay to harvesterImagine if you were playing Monster Hunter and each time you went on a hunt wearing a helmet, there was a 1% chance that you would instalose and get your save deleted instead, unless you purchased a 20$ once-per-character mcguffin that takes up another armor slot and prevents this from happening
>>97370860Na you are just being a little bitchIt just so happen that you have absolutely 0, nada, nones no argument for harvesterBut it's actually like 20-30% of the events that result in "you die" scenarios.
>>97370877All that can be avoided by a simple houserule like i said, for 0 dollars, which spawned this chain of replies>>97363537
>>97370877I love the model of Winter Solstice Lucy, but the band-aid design of that piece of gear, and then the KDM team saying they have no plans to change Harvester really pisses me off. Basically saying "we think this design is fine, give us $60 to mitigate the 1% chance of killing your run".I didn't even get into the expansions in my original post because half of that would have devolved into my frustration that they're planning on changing the Gorn in one of the future card packs to get noisy. It's a war-horn that requires you to blow into it, that shit is nowhere near the concept of noisy in comparison to a damn drum.Oh and don't even get me started on the Verspertine Cello; really cool design for doing a "band" build if you want to kill 4 characters in one go.

>>97370230Ultimately, Kindred die painful, brutal, sudden, dramatic deaths all the time, and suffer strange, horrid, painful, life-alftering incidents just as often. It's something you get used to, and have to live with, no way out of that. Some people go too far into it, turn into horrid little gremlins who just don't care about anybody else whatsoever. And some people just focus on channeling their care into productive things. That last part is the best practice, albeit I am biased a bit because I got cooked alive recently, and my darling siblings put me back together instead of shrugging and tossing me into the sunlight. Very caring of them.The bottom line is, if you care deeply for Boy Toy, the best thing you can do is to focus on ways to actually help your family help him. Freaking out, bawling, shrieking, and acting rashly won't help. Letting his predicament get to you won't help, in general. >>97370729>Don't they have Thaumaturgy for that?There's Thaumaturgy for literally everything and anything you can think of, and more.

>>97365355>torp light cruisersThey're a bundle of fun. Endeavours can use their S2 torpedo salvos to snipe enemy torpedoes and peel fighters off of airstrikes, while a couple Dauntlesses hit like a cruiser but fold quickly when they take fire (a typical cruiser lasts about 4-5 turns slugging it out with another cruiser before it's crippled; a light cruiser is more like 2-3)>Dictator over LunarI do like a Dic. They don't support the light cruisers quite as well as a Lunar -- Lances ignoring blast markers is a hell of a drug. But it is a pretty solid little ship that works well as a battleship's escort. The Mars (a Dictator with lances on top) is kind of the default support carrier and flagship for a lot of players because it's punchy and flexible, but it also costs a lot more than the Dic. The nova cannon, 60cm lances and 45cm batteries are a hell of a drug. You can get a battlecruiser in your fleet as long as you have at least two regular or light cruisers, so it's legal with what you already have. With an Admiral and the battleship it ought to be just shy of 900 points, just enough for a squadron of escorts or another Light Cruiser. If you don't want to bother with attack craft at all, then Bakka can sort of get away with not using carriers. Which is good because the only carriers they actually get are two "named character" ships and a battlecruiser carrier with broadside lances that's.. about as good as the Mars. Better fighter supporting a proper fleet, worse as a small flotilla flagship. Also it looks ugly. This is all without getting into the weeds about Reserves and allies, but really you can get by for quite a while without bothering about all that.
For the Anon in /awg/ - >>97365703>Anyone who does inq28 got any tips for sparking inspiration and then kitbashing well?Unironically go out and look at non-40k art. Especially Surrealist and plague-era medieval art, weird-ass Eastern-bloc animation, pre-Tolkien fantasy and SF. Block in shapes and write down cool ideas. Look at the actual shapes of things instead of just the textures. Buy cheap minis and hold random bits up to them to see if something calls out to you. Pic related is a serum bottle, a trashed Sentinel, a Kinder egg and some random scrap with an old knight model and a plastic dwarf nailed to them.
>>97369941>Unfortunately the list building got made worseThat really is unfortunate because I was planning to get the core book and army list with the intent of then using them to build forces in other settings as counts-as, then the new edition dropped.

>>97370043I found some third party tilesets, but nothing cmpatible with those old sets. Admittedly, I'm no expert in looking for 3d printed stuff.
