>>97227594>forced to watch WickedMy condolences, brother.
Wasn't there a Greek themed game in the making currently? Something skirmish scale I think, but I can't remember.

>>97225416A wizard with fireball would act no different then an artillery piece. This is such a retarded point of view. The real reason there isn't a huge number of napoleoic fantasy games is because fantasy is generally associated with guys in armor with swords.It's also why there isn't a lot of napoleonic fantasy media in general.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97221088Reminds me of that meme that was like "if every syrian refugee was female, white women would be marching around in death squads wearing nazi armbands by now"
>>97221088Too bad they can't do anything about it>I'll withhold pus-Doesn't matter. It'd make for a pretty problematic 'parasite' race.

>>97217421the joke is that dwarf women have bush. that's it, that's the whole joke. isn't that veird? haha you know, that thing most women trim or shave? guess what, dwarf women not only DON'T shave, they also grow it long on purpose!!wew after a long day in the humor mines, i like to reward myself with a trip to starbucks. i've earned it, for being so funny :)
>>97213989I know this is a 1pbtID bot thread, but ive considered this beforeso in my setting, the answer is that they are very widespread, numerous, and often tucked away into tight dark cavesthey are used by stronger evil races as slaves, so you wont have access to all of them anyway without going against said stronger racescivilization in my setting is less widespread and more isolated from each other, so there is no real capacity to organize and man such an endeavorelves, dwarves, hobbits, etc do pretty good at keeping them mostly out of their homelands except in low numbers
Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.>/un0/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.

>>97228802Sorry, vow of secrecy ;). I'll give you a hint, a lot of books talk about them, most of it is false but sometimes there's a grain of truth to these tall tales.
Ever had to say fuck it this is above our paygrade, and just bail from a dungeon?I get that GM probably put some amount of effort into preparing it and skipping the place would put that to waste, but when the very first encounter makes it painfully obvious pushing on would be suicidal, nobody can really blame the party for doing literally anything else, right?

>>97222410>you will never have sex with a woman loserI know, why do you think I'm reduced to jacking it to cartoon goblins?
Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
Letting people multi-class inevitably leads to meta gaming.
I prefer systems that let people build whatever they want within reason, thank you
>>97229035Sounds like you need better players.
>>97229027I prefer total puckee death.
>>97229027In my game, magic is appropriate for war, and classes are designed for their roles in battles against the numerous forces of evil in their world, instead of just being some arbitrary distinctions based on 70s pop culture literature and movies, mutated and neutered to please "the modern audience".
What kind of fantasy monsters are you into? I like original abominations, standard humanoids/mythological creatures/giant animals are boring to me.
>>97228517I like thinking about how fantasy monsters would affect the world around them. What would a world with these kind of abominations look like?Probably a whole lot fewer people living behind palisades, a much better trained levy that uses mostly long spears/pikes. Trade occurs with heavily armored and escorted caravans, making it much more expensive. The existential threat of these wouldn’t obviate political war but there would probably be some concession to deal with these beings. Holy orders that can kill these beings would be lauded. Plate armor would probably be more widely distributed by holy orders. The church would likely have substantially more authority.
>>97228543I recall thinking while reading The Witcher that the 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 monster.
>>97228950This. Warhammer kinda does it already. Or how in the Discworld stories most humans are really literal-minded because of how magic works off metaphors and such and magic is basically fucking radioactive.
>>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.

>>97228318The reason people post in generals can be seen by observing this thread. Because when 1 nig can samefag 80% of the replies, people lose interest in having a discussion. It doesn't help that you can't discuss games anymore outside of generals due to the amount of bad-faith actors roaming /tg/.

>>97227021The gutterpunk feel in the core rulebook is leftover from Mike's notes adapted from Cybergeneration and v3. Past the core rulebook it's not really consistent (the core rulebook suggests a job where the crew earns 2,000eb each be equal to taking on fort knox, but in the first job book Tales of the Red half of the jobs pay this for something tailored for starting players). This game has lots of opportunities for exciting mid-to-high level cyberespionage play. In fights where corpos are paying for gear used the players can take advantage of exotic tools like EMP grenades, biotoxins, custom gear from the R&D department, and have to deal with those same threats from their rivals. Speaking of support like from R&D corpo players could get detailed intelligence, heavy artillery, killteam cover, vehicle support or tactical deployments. Make the crew love the corpo slave lifestyle and never want to give it up, even if it means doing immoral things. If the crew doesn't know how bad things could be, have an old contact call in a favor. No corporate support, they're getting barely standard gear and by the end of it they'll have taken a lot of crits. They'll never want to run without their corporate toys again. Or maybe use >>97227042's ideas. All of the corporate toys stay with the corporation, so the players only have light gear when going home. A couple of bad scraps on the commute and maybe they'll want to live in a corporate dorm and never leave their masters! You can also enforce obedience by each player having a neural implant, chip slot, and modified KillChip to blow their head off, or a modified Pain Inhibiter implant that actually inflicts pain like in Robocop.Also definitely look up hardened encounters >>97227181 and the updated guide for making them in Danger Gal Dossier >>97200502
>>97227181>>97227656That's awesome. Thank you for the advices, I'll keep them in mind.Really looking forward to running this now.
>>97225611I feel like Mike wouldn't stand for something like anti-grav in the game.
>>97226391No it's about giving Rockerboy tangible bonuses that help in the minute to minute gameplay. Not loose "favours" that are open to interpretation and put the onus on the GM/player to actually come up with something interesting. It's lazy game design.I dunno, if the point of the Rockerboy is they have access to a fanbase that supplies them with favours, then why not make them similar to the Exec?

Moloch's Fun Park Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/.

Finished a witchburner today, I gave armor chipping a go but was somewhat conflicted on the results, anyone has any tips on doing chipped-paint on armor?
>>97228314It's the same deal, the female bodies are still 0.5% of the bunchIt's kitbash tits plus heads plus bodies and at that point I'm making female minis myself
>>97228314Making 'official mini's', and thus opening the game up to hobby newfags who can't sculpt or kitbash something as basic as a set of tits, has truly ruined the game.
>>97228316keep the paint dry, as in, don't add any water. it lets the pigment concentration stay high and gives you the most controlalso look into painting with bits of sponges :)
>>97228316This guy gives big Five Star Stories vibes.
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.
Depends on what you consider 'catering to'.I let my players do whatever they want and they have to deal with consequences. Modern DMs seem terrified of giving players consequences and I think this is borne from many different factors that are all worth their own discussions.But it's kind of like a kid or a dog being taught and trained. Your players don't do things that hurt them, like touching a hot stove or torching a shop, and they do do things that reward them.Don't reward disruptive play and punish bad behavior. Simple as.
>>97228727Attention deficit brainrot.Don't play with these kinds of people /tg/. Send em back to video games, real TTRPG are too hard for them.
>>97228740Sorry nobody was interested in your ebin meme NPCs and shopping sessions
>>97228753Did you misquote?
>>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.

>>97228927I might consider the discord route perhaps I've been lurking there for quite sometime now but if there are any events in my region I may try to attended those would be kinda tough to get my irl associates into it I feel
>>97228907He's one of these little dudes
>>97228116Probably because the Pariah gene is hard to work with and they don't want to fuck with it by using lots of biotechnology on them. It's the same reason the Necrons never fully colonized Earth during the War in Heaven, because cultivating it in early humans was more trouble than it was worth.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing female Chaos Marines, since Fabulous Bile has always made a big deal of trying new stuff with Geneseeds. They already did those Gland Hound things that were like cheaper versions that could be used on both sexes and allow them to breed new ones the normal way.
