Gentle reminder that if she's paid the usual 5% designer royalties, that goddamn hack Hargrave is a multimillionaire now
>>97229624Good for her. Sincerely.
>>97229624>that goddamn hackI personally don't want birds for $45 but I've played it and it doesn't seem any more derivative than other popular euros. What makes her a hack?

How do you like your mutants?Do you like them looking more like anthros or circus freak shows?
>>97229351/tg/ - Everything But Games
>>97227263>Do you like them looking more like anthros or circus freak shows?I have issues with both, conceptually. Radiation causing people to develop a highly specific collection of singular animal species traits is hard to suspend disbelief around. Although, animals mutating to gain some human-like intelligence and such is less objectionable, and purposefully mutated animals and human experiments are tolerable, conceptually.Freakshow mutants schism my tism because the random orifices and facial features and giant walking tumor men would not be able to survive under any circumstances except painstaking intentional life support.
>>97229563>is hard to suspend disbelief aroundI don't get why this matters.Just play the game.
>>97229617You wouldn't understand, because you don't play anything.

Anybody got Other Side Games' "The Swan Maiden Class" for Old School Essentials?
>>97229160OK, I'm going to ask a dumb question here;I can drop to you the previous editions of Rifts Black Market * Psi-Ops: Psychic War, but the only difference I can see between 'editions' is the covers. Would you accept those?And no, I don't have the TMNT RPG Redux books yet. I'm looking forward to those also

>>97228844<3 thank you Anon
>>97229433Nah, it’s alright. Was hoping to see the new EXP table in the Psi-Ops book, and just general habit of wanting to collect updated books - even if it’s marginal edits - from Palladium’s catalogue. I appreciate the offer all the same, though, I’ll just wait until then.

>>97229341if you have a bits box with a few weapons and you're ok with magnetizing or snapping of arms every few games to put in better weapons, a single box is all you need.
>>97229374Thanks! Any tips on youtube channels that focus on necromunda?
>>97229419I usually watch Necrorundown, but maybe it's a bit too gameplay focused, remember necromunda is the game where you fuck around.
>>97229341Most gang boxes except cawdor make you a workable gang 2bh, Id usually pick up another box as and when I needed them during a campaign.I never found weapons changed frequently enough to warrant magnetizing hands and shit, I just used a second box to make new leaders when needed.>>97229419I like wellywood 2bh
>>97229419I like the miniature game montage battle reports since he actually puts a bit more effort into them to make them seem narrative even though I'm pretty sure it's just a dad and his kid playing multiple gangsthe other big necromunda youtubers are too obsessed with click bait and tier lists

>>97229186But the Realm's iron is steel as well, unless they're just using straight iron
>>97229279He's talking about technology levels, you sperg.
>>97229289Ah
>>97229186My post was a bit unclear in hindsight but I was commenting on what they've done with Lore in 3e. And even then I need to clarify the original point, the average cloister-dwelling monk had a wealth of knowledge without needing to be a one in a generation genius, let alone a world-shaking demigod.
>>97229332Oh, this is likely because of the niche protection focused design of 3e.
What kind of fantasy monsters are you into? I like original abominations, standard humanoids/mythological creatures/giant animals are boring to me.
>>97228517How a monster is handled in a given game and what challenges it presents mean more than what it is.Moreover, a game could feature really cool monsters as a selling point, but then have its only resolution mechanic be a sticky note saying "storyteller decides"; in such a case, I couldn't care less about the monsters.The game matters more.
>>97228517Traditional games?
>>97229489/tg/ - Everything But Games
>>97228950>society and culture of the setting should be significantly more conservative, if simply expressing a negative emotion has enough of a chance to create a curse that can cause a calamity or turn a person into a monsterThere are like, countless stories about daemons/curses manifested from trauma caused by strict societal hierarchies. Making an argument in favour of repression rather than expression comes off as really silly, half of asian evil spirits are some flavour "i bottled up my feelings and then transformed into a monster (or committed suicide and transformed into a monster post-mortem)".
I've always fucked with ancient culture themed undead. Egyptian, Roman, Greek, etc. They're all cool to me
TTRPGs are a social game first and foremost. That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-group, but a common one is "acceptable breaks from sensibility" in the name of game experience or table cohesion. It's the kind of thing that keeps the bitter rivalry between the Elf and the Dwarf largely to amusing banter and not outright PvP. It's an innate instinct: nobody likes to spoil the atmosphere, because that's a large part of the appeal of a good game (alongside the freedom).That being said, there are also times when the group's course of action is patently retarded and you can't meaningfully push back on it without feeling like you'd cause a big fight over nothing (and then feel obligated to keep comrades away from the consequences), or something a character cannot abide has to be "sanded over" somewhat, or you as the GM don't want to cultivate the feeling that you're antagonizing your players by hitting them over the head with "you murdered someone because it was convenient and didn't even take measures to cover your tracks" or whatever unhinged misadventure occurred because something about the player position of the table cause human beings to lose IQ. Have you ever had that feeling? I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.
>>97228101Correct. Only some faggot who's 'plot!' is more important than accurately reacting to the party's actions would pull this shit.NPC's plots should follow the "every one has a plan until they get punched in the face' mentality. They should have things they're gonna do, til the pcs hit them, then they have to adapt to that bases off what, if any information they have on them.It should never be "A happens, B happens, then C happens, no matter what!" That's some tard tier rail roading shit that needs to be shot and thrown into a ditch.
>>97228087>That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-groupThis is the big problem. Make those spoken. Don't be weird or preachy about it but making what you, the gm who is running the game and actually in charge of the social event, clear on expectations in simple ways removes a lot of crossed wires about unspoken anything. Everyone assuming they're all on the same page is how miss communications happen, build and get fucked up. Just say something like >Part of the game is based on a party or group cohesion, so everyone should er on the side of being agreeable with each other's player characters. Some bickering is fun but we're not doing pvp or >we can do randomly murdering and burning villages if you guys really want but an evil campaign isn't what I want to do for very longand let them get it out of their system before moving onto something else. Just talk to each other, be a bit flexible but also know and maintain the social side in clear and concise ways. This may at some point mean you have a player who doesn't fit. That's okay. Not everyone has to get along forever about everything. If they clearly want divergent enough things its totally normal and fair to tell them its not working out and they need to find a different group.

>take soulless Primarishit model>insert classic Forge World MkIV SOVL>??????>PROFIT!And the best part is, because the precedent established by Games Workshop Group v. Chapterhouse Studio explicitly protects compatible third-party accessories, there is nothing GW can do about it but cry and exclude them from their subsidized events.

It's all just a bunch of eternal newfags in my eyes
>>97229460I see only one "fucking cancer" here.
ITT: secret knowledge your party would kill for, either to get it, protect it, destroy it, hide it, whatevermaybe just playing delta green would scratch that hitch but I'd like to avoid intergalactic reality warping monsters and keep things tech noir / cyberpunk related because the setting is eclipse phase with nechronica and cowboy bebop shoehorned in but anything goes reallybtw the twist for my players is that they don't know they're onboard a generation ship but I'm looking for ideas to get them on a shitload of false leads kthxbye xoxoxoxo merryxmas & hppy new yr btwfuck this new captcha so much wtf
>>97222260No one in the city has ever gone outside it? This never comes up in a cyberpunk setting with come sort of communication network? There's no information transfer systems or news or anything at all? You can asspull it but its going to sound like it came out of your ass and be covered in shit.
>>97222274>thinking with your dick >forever in fear of the consequences Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The best prize you get is the realization that if you cheated on her, she may very well have cheated on you. But you may never know.
>>97222274The moment that woman is broke, she will come after you.I hope you have a blackmail stash set aside.
>>97223715It's not in the background, it's hidden. And there's no flavour because it's undetectable. There will be no "oh shit" moment because they have no reason to give a fuck.You can divert their attention with literally anything that they can interact with as part of the game.

>>97227340These pdf are in the trove
Littlewars TV is running a campaign of Unternehmen Wintergewitter, the abortive attempt of Von Manstein to relieve the Stalingrad pocket in late 1942. This seems to be a pretty popular topic recently, Donnerschlag from VUCA sims is a hex 'n chit version of this battle.In any case they have produced a stripped down version of Fistful of TOWs and also this fantastic document with linked scenarios. This is really what I'm looking for in any wargaming ruleset. I fucking hate rulebooks with dozens upon dozens of pages of army lists and special rules but NO scenarios, or just a few generic ones without force compositions. Any recommendations for similar campaign / scenario booklets? Ideally with an overarching goal and decision tree of scenarios like this one?
