I haven't bought a model since like 2023 maybe early 2024. When I bought Dante he was like $35. What the fuck happened? This is legit robbery.

>>97222488They are all vastly different games. Blood Bowl isn’t a wargame it’s closer to chess with variance and many sets of unique pieces.
>>97222553These are British prices, Americans tend to pay at least 20 bucks extra for all Warhammer stuff.
>>97218744GW likes to cover production and design costs of new models and storage cost of older stock by increasing the cost of 40k units. This keeps the profit margins positive even if not every unit sells.
>>97222443Metal is premium.

I just saw this highly janky asset reuse in Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn:https://5e.tools/book.html#fraif,1,broken%20mirrors,0>Passion Pools. These caves in the forested foothills of the Sword Mountains protect geothermic pools laced with salts that color the waters various hues of red. The air is steamy and smells foul. Use the Volcanic Caves map in Dungeon Master's Guide appendix B, treating lava as water and placing areas where priests and visitors live and work.Yes, use the volcano map, but pretend that the... lava (magma?) is actually red-colored water.Image far too big to post here: https://5e.tools/book.html#xdmg,9,volcanic%20caves,0
>>97222633Wizards are in general going to have spent years deep in their books and not have the foundational "from childhood" work put in that a fighter or other Martial has towards general fitness unless they've intentionally put in that effort. But training up Constitution makes sense for keeping up Concentration.Clerics and Druids it's a mix since they have armor training and can be tough melee fighters.Sorcerers can come from basically any path of life when their powers awaken, so there being lots of variance makes sense.

>>97221601I find all the MESBG dwarf sculpts very charming. The extra small scale relative to other GW games helps. They have helped me realize that I really prefer my miniatures to be miniature.
>>97222872"Tek" is the name of the ganger.
>>97221933Yeah I didn't mean rules. I meant models. Did a quick peek on Etsy and didn't see anything that fit the profiles either. Maybe I should give up and just nab some craftworld ships.
>>97222946Arcane Shipyard has good sculpts if 3d printing is an option. They are modular with variant prows for each weapon system and they have both escort and cruiser.https://cults3d.com/en/users/ArcaneShipyard/3d-models
Is Talespire worth the asking price? How does it compare to other VTTs?
>>97219400Well you pay the price as GM and for four licences, and players need the free demo. That's what I did. I use it to play Pathfinder 2e.Depends on your needs. I use it to replicate the in person feel of play as it's real little moving miniatures in beautiful settings. Though if you are an adventure path fag with no time you'll find it's no good to you. It doesn't come with premade campaigns and maps and stats etc.Community helps a lot in some regards. Sites like talestavern has 100s of lovely maps and there are custom creatures.Me personally, I build very little, I mash together other people's maps and build my encounters around it in my homebrew.It has a feature called "symbiotes". These have little mod features that can help you or players. For example there's a symbiote that allows you to use your path builder account in Talespire for dice rolls.It's a pick your poison situation. Like in person you do some math and do some manual rolls and see a real nice little miniature. Other VTTs have everything automated and that's good in its own way too. Id argue tho it becomes like a shitty video game that way that doesn't allow for imagination. When I play Talespire my players get more creative about what they'd like to do because not everything is a macro.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97219400from what I've seen of it, Talespire's essentially just a more serious version of Tabletop Simulator: it's putting all its effort into replicating the physicality of a table rather than providing features the GM and players will find useful for the process of playing the game.TTS is probably the more generally useful of the two by virtue of being somewhat retard-proof when it comes to porting in content, but I wouldn't know as I've never experienced Talespire.I'd say just go with a 2d VTT like Foundry (very fully-featured but the GM has to buy a license), Maptools (free and lets you set up a lot, but is a fucking java app and if you want to host you gotta learn computer networking), or roll20 (free and very retard-proof, but has the least features)
>>97219400I backed it on kickstarter and have toyed with a handful of times. The tools it has are impressive and it's as functional as it seems as a digital terrain tool for creating battlemaps and complex dioramas... but as a tool, it leaves a lot to be desired. I don't even know how to describe how uncomfortable and awkward it feels to use. Basic functionality for placing and moving and adjusting tiles that should be there just isn't, or it's awkwardly implemented in a way that doesn't work the way you expect it to.If you can get over that hurdle, as I've seen some people do, you can make really elaborate, really impressive maps for all kinds of genres. Won't automate a damned thing for you otherwise, but if you have a group that will buy into it, the wow factor is pretty high.
>>97219400i pirated it. it's got 0 usable templates so you have to do everything yourself and making a decent map can take up to like an hour at first but if you invest time into getting good there's really no other VTT that compares in terms of atmosphere and wonder.
>>97219400Depends on how you use it. Do you have 10 hours of free time to prep before every session.
I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.

>>97222515Andoran has a city named Augustana. It’s a major shipping and naval hub somewhat analogous to Boston (also New York, but that’s not the important one.)In 2006 (not 2005, though the album released that year), a band named Augustana had their only Billboard Top 100 hit. This was a song called Boston. I do not believe the city’s name and real life inspiration are a coincidence.
>>97222635How did Paizo try to replace Erastil with Milani?
>>97222961Back when Erastil was going through one of his #Cancel troubles - I want to say 2018 - Paizo released one of those Ultimate books that had a write-up for Milani where they portrayed her as a traditional country girl that loves big families and defending your community from tyranny. It really felt like, at the time, they were trying to sell Milani as the big country deity to worship.

>>97222225High Tide was the single best example as to why powerlevel shouldn't be the only motivator behind bans.No, I don't want to watch you have a 30 minute turn and not even be able to concede because you can still faceplant at the finish line. Your deck takes forever and it often doesn't even win lmao.

>>97222970Sincerely playing against high tide was some of the least fun I’ve ever had playing magic. At least when affinity is raping me I’m feeling some sort of emotion, even if it is indescribable rage. Going against high tide in MTGO meant either a game where nothing happens at all or a game where I pass turn for 25 minutes and wait to see if I lose.
>>97222985you also have counterplay against affinity. against high tide you either snipe a couple of them with duress or you hope the opponent bricks

>>97222835I used wooden skewers and store-bought alligator clips to make mine. I still haven't solved the best way to attach the clip to the stick though.
>>97222835Bonus tip: you can make a stick holder out of any old corrugated cardboard. Just sandwich a bunch of pieces together, they don't even have to be the same height. Alternatively, I believe some companies sell cardboard cat scratcher boards that work perfectly for holding the sticks.
