Trench Crusade General - /trench/
Weird love 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 not
TC 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/. Keep it on topic.

>What's the QRD on the background?
The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.

>How do I get started?
All the files are free online, but are split between the website and the discord. They have all been collected here for your convenience:

>They don't want to run one right now
Lowkey thinking of going to another store and seeing if they'll let me grass roots TC there. The problem is this other LGS feels like it's corporate run. Random new workers every few weeks and the only games they cater too are MtG and 40k. They also have an obscene amount of dice for dnd. I'm talking like a wall and a showcase just for dice

>apparently the local mega lardass (who is a weird sycophant to the owner) and boomer owner are the only people who can run TC campaign/events
Man that goes pretty counter to TC in particular and FLGS's writ large. If there's another store nearby it's probably worthwhile to go elsewhere instead, but if not well just run games from home with whatever minis you can find
>>
>>96461388
Just ask for some one off games. You don't have to do a whole campaign.
>>
>>96455940
>>96453501
Homunculus are an interesting model since they become more cost effective in a campaign but are rarely worth it in a one-off.

It will pretty much always cost more to turn a Homunculus into a second-X than it would be to just buy X - but the resurrection feature and the larger sizes of end-campaign warbands means that becomes a much better value for money.

If you want one bull, you'd be better off buying a bull, but HoW can get you 2 almost-bulls.

>playing a human male
Not even memeing here. In 25 years of playing rpgs probably 90% of the problem players I've ever encountered have exclusively played human male characters. Compulsive powergamer? Always human male unless their build specifically requires some racial feat or something, and even then they'll usually try to get the GM to let them have some special snowflake backstory for why their human male can ignore the prerequisite. Any sort of disruptive jackassery justified by but it's what my character would do? Almost always playing a human male. Creepy ERP weirdo? Usually playing a human male. Zero understanding of personal hygiene? Always playing a human male.

Depending on if it's Macross or Robotech, the zentradi might think the star league is the protoculture (in the original Macross, the titular super dimensional fortress is from a stereotypical progenitor race that the Zentradi are either rebelling against or at war with and its automated systems fire on them when they first show up, leading to them thinking they've finally found "the protoculture" that created them. In Robotech "protoculture" is an energy mcguffin on that ship which they're chasing down for normal resource war reasons). The clans would do little to disabuse them of that notion even if they have absolutely no idea what they're babbling about.

>>96460847
We know very little about the box overall. If you're just starting out, the Combat Patrol and/or the KT teams are a good starting point. As a new player, you don't really want or need the terrain as most places you will be playing at will already have terrain and the DW team is not a necron team. It will take a bit for the new stuff to get ported to the codex if you are interested in more than just Kill Team.

>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.

Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.

WIP "awakened" role. Claude helped me organize my ideas and fluff them up a bit.
Some topics to tackle
>What do I need to add?
>What do I need to change?
>what do I scrap?
Stuff I highlighted in yellow is things that I think need the most attention.
>choosing cyberware
Depending on your starting "body", the cyberware you choose may be limited. Thinking about compatibility between different bodies and such feels like it gets complicated fast. The easy answer is "only let players use standard humban-borg parts if they make it to a gemini body," or something to that effect, which might work, but I'd like the player to be able to upgrade their body piecemeal. They need to be able to customize and create cyborg parts akin to the kind humans use. They may need a techie friend they can trust to install them. Think Johnny 5 gearing himself up.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LABMISLl7Y8

>Stability loss and gain
Claude offered lots of examples, but I fear this may be more taxing than necessary for players to track stability loss/gain. If you think it looks alright, I can leave it be and let individual players figure out how they want to work it.

Do melee weapons require a clear sight too for autohits or once you're in combat, people are aware of the assassin?
I do know ambushes count but I'm thinking of:
>enter combat by ambush
>ally assassin throws smoke grenade to cover main assassin
>fight starts
>opponent lacks the cyberware to see through smoke or something, misses attack
>main assassin moves to behind opponent to further confuse opponent and strikes again
Normal hit or autohit? asking for red
>>
>>96457928
Smoke applies a penalty on attacks and shots through it, which by definition means you can attack or shoot people in smoke, which also by definition means you can see them even if they're "obscured".

They're normal hit beyond the initial ambush, but the target in smoke is going to take a -4 penalty to their evasion because you are obscured by the smoke.

As a Ref I would probably allow an automatic hit from your initial attack so long as its being made during the ambush.

If you want to hit and run to get another automatic hit I would require you to break line of sight in such a way that there is uncertainty where you are. Ducking behind a wall and then running back the way you came wouldn't be enough.

At your discretion, NPCs have what you give em and if it makes sense for the character to have a “on job” and “off job” body then they’d customize it
> Player
Good fucking luck getting even 1 with the economy as it is and the cost to go from meat to metal in time, eddies, and humanity. After that point you’ll probably not have another body but just build out your current one to be amazing. If your frame is too big to hide then just rep it as style. No one will question your machine god chassis, but if by some miracle you manage to scrape enough eddies for another body it would probably be better to use that money elsewhere.

If you were given a FBC by a corp or something MAYBE you can get a swap body, but that’s just dressing on your gilded cage

Step 1: Go to a place or places where people like Blue Archive. The more people you can reach, the better
Step 2: Ask if any of them are interested in roleplaying together, using "X" RPG system
Step 3: Determine the time zones and availability of those who responded positively in Step 2
Step 4: Use WhenIsGood.net or some other method to see when schedules line up
Step 5: Prioritize players who seem most experienced, eager, or willing to be team players. De-prioritize players that seem flaky or disruptive

Also, I don't know anything about Blue Archive besides the "UOHhh!" memes. I expect that may have some effects on your game.

Blue Archive is about based anime girls with guns. PCs are intended to be said girls. Age: high school, height: varies from loli to 180cm (tallest canon character).

A lot of stupid fucking faggots have been posting some bullshit about how AI art is "good" and "fine for the hobby". I am here to tell you, no, you are a FAGGOT who will not pour BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS into his game. You know what AI slop is? You coveting the ability of others and compensating by using tools. You are a fool with an automatic drill acting greater than a true carpenter. Continue down your path. One day you will awaken and see yourself in a pit of disingenuous tar. An inescapable muck that you have built into your home, a fitting place for a wretch unwilling to unabashedly display their love for their fellow players in any form.

Anyway, post art from your campaigns. I need to update this, but its mostly my current party. Goblin and the orc died during the end of the last dungeon.

what's the functional cost between me using an image from my character art folder (something we have right now) and using AI?

no money is passing hands between me and the artist.

AI Is a tool, like automation, it raises the skill floor we expect from artists as a result the lower skilled artists get crushed and these tend to be the people who rage most vehemently against it.

Most Abbadomon decks I've seen run like 12-14 Scatter Modes, the full playsets of SoundBirdmon and Eyesmon, and some Trainings/Memory Boosts. Armageddemon hasn't seen play anywhere in years so I'm baffled as to why you included it. I don't like Zenith or Cyberdramon either. You can run some other level 6 Aces since Black pretty much has the best selection of them, but Darkdramon is fine if that's all you want to play. If you do run more I suggest Laplace's Demon and/or EX5 Etemon.
