Stop buying miniatures.
>>97201208>>97203751What hobby?
>>97191690Neat.There's nothing wrong with paper tokens.However; I tend to buy miniatures from smaller franchises; guys making generic fantasy and scifi ranges; the price is far more agreeable, and the variety is great, and I like them for dioramas.I have plenty of Warhammer of course; but these are artifacts of childhood, and second hand purchases, and the odd gift.I kitbash a lot, and of late I have begun practicing the art of scratch-building terrain, as my grognard forefathers once did.
>>97191690Fun to make for ttrpgs and wargames.
>>97191761Wow Tom Hanks was in that? That movie left an impression on me. Also I've been calling it monsters and mazes for years.
I think in the last year I've spent at least $800 on models, one order by itself was around $400 of mostly reaper miniatures.Just rediscovered darksword minis and will probably drop another 250-350 on them. Their "old school/low fantasy" style is awesome.Painting 2d cutouts just isn't appealing and the painting side is part of why I collect models.

finally, look how much better the thread suddenly became
more room for CYOAs!
I might break this up with an image or two, and this is deep and a bit hidden in the CYOA to the point that probably only invested players would see it at all, AND I have a fitting "vehicle" for the lore dump who lampshades it, but golly am I still worried that I might be loredumping too hard here.

Why is Age of Sigmar so universally despised? I thinkthose rat dudes look rad, wish we had them in 40k
>>97202497Major retailers? Since when? ICv2 themselves don't even use that fluffed-up modifier lmao.They talk to their buddies and friendly industry contacts, not to major retailers, you unseasoned dope.And, worth repeating, they do not see any actual sales figures from these buddies. Their "data" comes from "interviews" ie. how some rando biased small business owner feels at a specific moment in time about the prospects of a given game. Have you ever spoken to a small business owner? They're emotional, invested freaks swinging for the fences, not cool cucumbers with impartial takes.
>>97186294>game is doing bad because they're not marketing it at all compared to 40k>refuse to put any money into marketing it because it's doing bad>they eventually pull the plug>okay now that the setting's dead we can hand out the IP to fucking everybody>interest in fantasy explodes>GW: surprised pikachuin the business this is called a self fulfilling prophecy
>>97206022>game is doing bad because they're not marketing it at all compared to 40kIdk how they weren’t when they were pulling stuff like the thrones of chaos. The issue was that the fans just *didn’t like the direction the game was going* even before the endtimes.
>>97206022To be fair, I feel like a lot of interest in Fantasy is because it was dead for so long. I don't have anything to actually back that up, but I think a lot of people felt like they missed their chance and want to try it now that it's back. Although I 100% agree Vermintide and Total War are driving like 80% of the popularity.
>>97162478>>it's too cartoony and unrealistic!That's on a scale and everyone has different thresholds. Warhammer Fantasy is just a clone of Earth with fantasy tropes sprinkled on. AoS is a multidimensional setting with living gods you can field as units. To act like these are equivalent is disingenuous.
>The Honest Wargamer>actually a wanker (obviously), a serial bully, and a landlordI think it's because most wargamers are quite soft and odd that when you get these kinds of "extroverted" podcast types they really run riot. What a cunt.Is this a problem in your local scene?

Only one of them shows any visible reaction and none of them bother to say anything, stop the scene, invoke the X-Card, say that a line is being crossed, and all of that happens after the player, having been given plenty of preable to react to this happening any way she pleased, agreed to go through with it without coercion. "Okay sure" is said multiple times, even.

How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97196423Get rid of Victorian aesthetic and embrace the Bella Epoque aesthetic insteadaka what arcane did with Piltover or Howl's Moving Castle anime
>>97203859>I agree except for coalI think it depends on how far you want to push it. I took it into a direction similar to the old Dystopian Wars lore if anyone remembers that with my setting. So the internal combustion engine exists, but is a rather niche invention because it's discovery was predated by the discovery of Kiep crystals, a bullshit fantasy substance which can be induced into a strong exothermic reaction when submerged into a strong base & using some catalysts. The reaction can be used to build ultra efficient steam engines which can power huge airships, submarines, city-sized contraptions, trains, road vehicles, etc. The trade off being of course that it produces incredibly toxic sludge as residue and no one's quite figured out how to deal with yet, slowly poisoning everything.The group I DM'd for were all stemlords so I came up with this whole system to explain away all of the implausible flying devices and such.>you could draw on Victorian literature for ideas like murder mysteries, adventures into the dark corners where ignorance reigns (like in the first section of Dracula)Yes definitely! The fantasy part of the setting is inspired by stuff like Dracula, Frankenstein, The King in Yellow, The House on the Borderland, An Inhabitant of Carcosa, The Great God Pan, things like that.>>97204405TRVTNVKE
>>97198765>punksteamAnon, you're an idiot.
>>97199033I wish that book was good. The first story showed a lot of promise, but the rest was an absolute snore. And it's a shame, because I like Gibson's work.
>>97196804I've never seen fantasy or steampunk explore the idea that magic/technology became an equalizer to the point that colonialism never happened. Hard to capture Haitians and make them slaves when they've got a zombie army to back them up, hard to conquer the Aztecs when all those human sacrifices actually gave them superpowers. You could easily create a steampunk world where different cultures became luddites, embraced technology totally, or embraced both. After all, what's the point of alternate history if the history isn't alternate?
Alright, if NOT 5e, what should be babby's first tabletop in 2025+1?
>>97205876Whatever the fuck you like. The idea of beginner ttrpgs does more harm than good.Pick a theme or setting you like and whatever gameplay elements tickle your fancy then choose based on those.
>>97205950It's hard enough to convince newbies to read a bunch of books, learn rules, get them in the same place at a specific time and actually run the game. The least I could do is make the books approachable, given the alternative is having no game at all.
>>97205940It is the ONLY answer. There is no alternative.
>>97205987This is a literate-only hobby. If you can't fucking read or focus for more than fifteen minutes at a time, TTRPGs aren't for you.
>>97205987If you're a GM you have to read the rules. There are no shortcuts. Best pick something that only needs one book to get started and has decent formatting.As a player you just follow the steps to create a PC and then learn by playing.

>>97205764Thinking that's true is, in fact, part of their curse. What if they imprisoned the bad solars and then explained themselves to the rest instead of starting a long-term elaborate plot either way, as an example? The curse pushed them to taking drastic action and treating a bunch of more reasonable, immediate solutions as "not options".
>>97205792i get that but i still wanted to whine about it.
>>97205819At that point, the entire solar host was malicious in some form or another. The idea that it wasn't something intrinsic within solars was probably the default decision. Which it technically is true, every solar has a great curse because every exalt does in some form.
>>97205994Funnily enough, according to caste book night's Dreams of the First Age section, FA Solars were self policing to the point that they killed their own corrupt members.

>>97205962Yeah, it theoretically exists. What about it?

What's the consensus on Cloudspire?
>>97201401Please escuse anon, he's frustrated from lack of games
>>97201317Eh it's more of an RTS with one cool unit and a bunch of cannon fodder, since you can influence where your minion wave goes as long as it's taking the shortest path to an enemy. So in certain cases you can force the waves to go around two different sides of a rock and miss eachother, if you think your hero can take the entire wave on alone.>>97201358If you don't think there's a consensus, just share your personal opinion. Have you played it? What did you think of it?
>>97201955My personal opinion is that the first couple of games is boring as hell with a lot of keyword learning.Next couple are pretty solid. Strategies start shaping up. Faction starts showing its strength and core differences. The games after that? God tier stuff. Keywords are second nature. Long game strategies are in place as opposed to turn by turn strategies. Map is getting shifted a lot as players lean into earth shaping. Merc units that were once "neat but unneeded" become big fucking deals and the game cements itself as one of the best games out there.Early games are painful and I don't blame people for passing on it though.
Factions list (not counting newest)>HeirsFast, cheap birbs. Easy to learn for newbies, not much depth outside of when to utilize kamikaze hummingbirds.>BrawnenSource hungry giants. Also easy to learn. Much tougher than birbs and can absolutely wreck shit pretty damn fast if you don't check their source gain.>GrovetendersEnts go to war. Unique summoning mechanic from their Taproot minions can keep opponents guessing. Ignoringing anything that the leafy cunts bring out is asking for pain. Brings to mind Green plays in MtG where that 1/1 nobody is suddenly a beefy bitch you let through that is now eating your fortress for lunch.>NaoraVersatility. Most unit variety in the game and all are available from the start. None of them are particularly strong to counter this. Means you got an answer for everything though.>GriegBugs. They can build tunnel entrances that act as portals only they can use allowing them to bypass a lot of the map and defenses. Evolution mechanic is tricky to time right. Queen can be an absolute nightmare of a unit late game but her health is tied to the fortress so bringing her out is dicey.>Horizon's WrathSky pirates using exploding barrels, pistols, and canons on their fortress. Their fortress is also an airship, so they can weigh anchor and move that bastard. Fun to play but fairly weak overall.>UprisingComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97201955>Take the shortest path to an enemyIncorrect. A minion must use all of its movement if it is possible, cannot retrace any spaces moved on it turn, and must end it's turn closer to the enemy fortress than when it's turn began. New players read this as a minion taking the most direct route possible, but it doesn't say that. Let's say you got a movement of 4 and moving 3 spaces toward the gate or more will put you in firing range of an enemy spire and the enemy minions will move next to you on their turn for damage.So instead of straight left four spaces as the most direct route, you go left, down, left, and up.You fulfilled the movement requirement and rules but are out of spire range and now the enemy movement will have them in range for you to slap their shit on your next turn.Shit like that is where tactics come into play. It's not "incredibly deep" shit but is definitely deeper than just slamming dudes into each other like idiots.
