>>97270489GW itself went a clever way, by having the helmet look "normal" and the bare head be all corrupted.
I have never wargamed before, but have recently gotten into 30k. I have 50 tac marines, 5 command sprues, the heavy weapon upgrade, disintegreator upgrade, a rhino, and ranged leviathan dreadnought. I also have 10 crimson paladins and some equipment for vets running combimeltas. I don't want to buy anymore plastic gold for a few months, and was wondering what setup would be best for this in the meantime?
>>97270489>>97270909Could do a conversion where the helmet is half-cleaved off to reveal how fucked up his head is under the normal armour.

What's so bad about murderhobo games?
What are "murderhobo games", described in your own words?Be detailed and specific.
>>97261303Nothing really. A murderhobo is a hobo whose trade is killing things. A hobo is a migratory worker willing to work. It's the literal definition of an adventurer. Games about adventuring heroes are the backbone of the ttrpg hobby.
>>97261303Nothing as long as the whole group is clear on what the game will entail.
>>97261459Call them slurs.

How is it? Looks bretty fun
>>97269328I largely found the opposite. Races had several viable approaches including smashing everything immediately, dashing to the first gate and opening fire, and racing off into the sunset. Deathmatch games don't give much hope to light, speedy teams. Flag Tag mostly went too far the other way as a couple of buggies could usually rush some flags while a heavier team had barely got started. And Saturday Night Live was hugely sponsor dependent.
>>97254792Realistically you wouldn't have a missile poking out (if it's clearing the door, it's mid launch), but a Minuteman style door wouldn't be too hard to make; just a hunk of foam for the door and a couple of pieces of sprue for tracks.
>>97247524It's incredibly fun. One of my favorite games ever made. One of those classically fresh games that reminds me why I love the hobby so much. The lack of restrictive miniatures rules works massively in its favor too rather than against it.The fact you can play the game just by grabbing two hot wheels cars and throwing some bean cans and ramen packets on the floor makes it probably one of the most easy-to-play mini games ever. I'm not really averse to games that require a lot of army painting and setup or a lot of in-depth rules and character creation etc etc but I think they definitely create a barrier to entry that is hard to sell people on and get other players for. Gaslands, meanwhile, is incredibly easy to sell to people. "It's Hot Wheels cars, you use templates, and you roll a D6 with a single target value." This works perfectly to sell people on the game And it helps that it runs as good solo as well as with others. Sometimes when I'm bored on weekend nights I just do a quick death race with myself and it works just as fluidly because even solo you're still just trying to cause the most carnage as ever.

Humans are the the Children of Seth. Elves are the Children of Lilith.
Humans in the constellation of species how tolkien used them are the newest one.But other authors and even tolkien himself failed to use that dynamic.Humanity overall should behave like toddlers, compared to something like elves. Unhinged little things, with a lack of higher reasoning.Yet toddlers are curious and have a lot of potential so humanities strength should be maturing into the ultimate beings. But they have yet to get there and no clue that they even could.

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.

>>97270817My problem with the Griffin and several others of the 55 ton trio, and I didn't realize this until I started mostly playing campaigns rather than BV matched pickup games, is that most of them after introtech immediately switch to an XL engine and jump to ~10 million cbills.
>>97270033I mostly hate it because of the people who love it, but ultimately it's dumb and silly and I don't ever actually see it on the tabletop so it seems like a weird fundraising box more than anything. Like I didn't buy the larger scale mechs that are just display pieces either.

What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
>>97268961Quite a few actuallyImperative is broadened and highly simplied While regular mythras is designed for fantasy settings from a tech level range of paleolithic all the way to late renaissance and napolnicBut assumes classical era bronze/Iron Age most of the time Also way more shit to play with about five diffent magic systems you can chose to include or exclude entirelyAnd a complete combat effects system Imperative is really a wide vertical slice that is missing a lot of shit though it has rules from a few supplements It even has a heavily simplified version of the supers rules present in the standalone game destined If you want sci fi stuff I would reccomend giving Luther Arkwright a spin
>>97269029>If you want sci fi stuff I would reccomend giving Luther Arkwright a spinThere's also M-Space for sci-fi mythras.
>>97269029You seem like you're a knowledgeable fellow so sell me on MythrasBonus points if you outline its biggest flaws too
>>97269950Cons: >Requires system mastery to flow correctly. Especially combat.>Combat maneuvers become a bit solved with pcs always choosing the target location special ability to dog pile damage and incapacitate an enemy. (i have had to homebrew around that)>Focus on simulationism even more than other d100 games might feel overly constraining.>it is more of a toolkit system as far as magic is concerned especially.>piles a lot on the gm to get it running properly.>character creation is kinda flawed and deigned towards making you mediocre at 5-10 things.Generally a lot of constrains when creating characters feels like an over correction more than anything. >Combat style is inherently superior to other combat skills like evade, endurance and willpower which are your resistances>action point system is kinda gamey and hardlocks you a little bit into mostly defending if numerically disadvantaged >lack of gm advice and procedures for dungeoncrawling, hexploration, sandbox play even if it was large part of the oldschool d100systems with settings like griffin island, especially considering that all the tools for such a style of play are there and the d100 is probably the only other game that can do that as well as the osr>armor is a little weaker than it should be.>the way xp rolls are gained is just worse and more gamey than the other organic ways used in d100 systemsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97270691>>97269950This covers a good chunk of the cons. They did try to fix some of the issues with the target location thing by making that counter combat maneuver, but that implies a success getting used for that just to negate an issue. Make it really punishing if it happens.I would disagree and say armor can actually be a little too strong in mythras at times in the hands of the players.

I played in a one-shot where the GM used hallucinated ChatGPT-drawn maps so bad they were actively useless. Not that positioning mattered, we were there to listen to the GM going on about his cool NPCs we didn't even get to interact with really. The maps were the worst part though, 10 minutes and graph paper could have made intelligible maps for the entire session. Hell, you could even use AI for reference, I don't care, just make them playable. Don't have us fighting in a 4 floor spiral staircase in a 2 floor house

Save for watching anime in dub, for that he will burn.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

>>97266862Just use the OSE srd
For all its shortcomings in the censorship department, I think Dolmenwood mostly does well to add to the B/X base with clarifications, some from AD&D. For someone like me who is too autistic to organically fill in the blanks left in the rules, it's great material. The SRD is a bit messy, but at least it is easy to navigate (and thus it is easy to cherrypick the additions). It specifies the weight of misc. adventuring gear as well as things adventurers are capable of (thus preventing mudcore slowdown of play). However it still does not complete the wilderness game or add a complete domain game.
>>97266427Go with OSE. The best gateway into OS D&D. This general will try to convince you otherwise as it is popular and therefore bad

Christmas 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. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97269759Nope. And honestly, I think another reason the expansions are delayed so much and content comes at a snail's pace is because Poots doesn't want KDM to end. It's his baby and without it, he (and KDM) will drift into obscurity and irrelevance.
>>97269759Well, pinups are not for Monster even tho some have promo cards. But yeah, it's his life now. Pretty good imo. Other than that, I can see licensed 3rd party studios making vidya, ttrpgs, etcetc.
Every time I hunt spidicules I regret it. My best survivor has two broken legs now from the pit, all because he stole my survivor with tumble who WOULD HAVE been the event revealer right before I rolled the pit, and now since i only had 3 survivors I had to push everyone to get through the forest wants what it wants and the broken leg guy's starting the showdown with 3 bleeding tokens. FUCK SPIDICULES
>>97270083Well, aftermath the bleeding tokens didn't really matter but I'm still pseudo retiring the survivor as murder bait and breeding bitch. A shame, since he was pretty promising with all 3 people of the stars abilities and +1 accuracy. I probably could work around 3 movement (ESPECIALLY IF I COULD EVER FUCKING FIND CHOREIA), i have other promising children.
>>97270211The only thing I houserule on this game is IntimacyI use Intimacy 1000x times more than say Courage, and I don't have an Intimacy leveling upFuck that niggerThis bitch I had it's on her EIGHT offspringIf you are going to literally gamble your life every single time you intimacy, you sure as hell deserve some bonus for surviving over and over and over on that taskAt this point in the game my survivors have more chance of dying from Intimacy than showdown

I saw a YouTube series once where two guys would use DM pack emulators to simulate a sealed pool of the first expansion and play a few games with each other. Then instead of creating an entirely new pool, they would instead get a pool from the second expansion, add the two pools together and play with decks created like that. So on for the third expansion, the fourth etc.Do you think it would be fun to do something like this with another acg? And instead of two random dudes, it's a weekly tournament. Basically going through the history of a game.Does this post make sense? I might be too tired
>>97270291I think this is called a "Progression Series". It seems pretty popular with Yu-Gi-Oh.I've never done it. It does sound fun though.

>>97270358Uh, I didn't know that was a thing, I was half convinced I hallucinated it. Do you think anons here would be interested? What games would you guys want to play?
>>97270291That sounds so fun. I played ScoreZ from the first set to the last, and it would be wild to go through that journey again using cards that were good at the time but were powercrept into irrelevance down the road.A real headache, though, would be implementing the errata/ban/restricted along the way since the final CRD has been etched into my mind for over 20 years now.
