I noticed some shadokesh models on the WGA release schedule. How many different boxes of shadokesh did dreamforge games produce back in the day? I like the sleek and lanky look these guys had.
>>96461920Ma'am show bobs and vagene. You have no choice now
>>96387323That really sucks bro. My LGS has people playing Halo, Trench Crusade, and some other skirmish games. Along with a healthy amount of Old World players.Unfortunately I'm now moving to another country, so that's probably all going out the window.
>>96471796I believe they did only 2.But there must have been some unreleased stuff when the company went under. They had teased at all sorts of vehicles and things that never made it to plastic.
Post dice! These are from the sabretooth games lord of the rings readable miniature game. They have nice symbols, grey ones for mountain troll. They have really nice red ones with the eye of sauron on it and they have cool bubbles inside, they catch the light. And there is a glow in the dark one too, for the army of the dead.I got them sealed for 4 quid, what a steal
Which game is currently in a worse state?
>>96472820nta but I'm guessing MtG tournaments care a lot more about Card proxies than third-party 40k tournaments. outside of doing stuff at Warhammer World in the UK or really big official one at Adepticon, Proxy usage for GW game doesn't seem to be a big deal.
>>96466285its always been magic. look at the average playgroup for both games. 40k is approaching mtg in terms of smelliness but mtg has always held the crown for autism.
>>96466297Would you rather drink shit or eat it?
>>96466285Personal observation:40kers are happy with their slop. The community has normalized proxies and proonts (a double-edged sword).MTGers are worn out by set churn. Several sets have like 5 good cards out of 300. Retailers are frustrated. Proxies are frowned upon.
>>96473167How are proxies and prints a double-edged sword?

What systems/mechanics provide good rules for simulating progress of a war effort?How would you portray moving frontlines and exchange of territories during a war? Both from perspective of commanders and boots on the ground.Any games where you did something similar?
>>96471547IMO this is really a matter of presentation. You produce a map. Preferably a cool looking one and update it with visible changes each session. Its basically a graphic design/UI design task.
>>96472909What tools do you use for graphic design?How would you make a map like in the one in the OP?
>>96472984I'd probably use GIMP but thats because I've been GIMPing for 20 years and can crank out something like that pretty fast. Most photoshop-like software would work. If I was going to use a VTT I would break things down into elements.
>>96471343For fantasy, I would suggest ACKS. It uses hex map and has rules for mass combat that integrate into standard heroic adventuring. For sci-fi, I got nothing.
>>96472984I tend to use Inkscape, since it's easier to go back and tweak parts later

>>96464221>A Quiet Place settingDoes anyone find that the movie had good a premise in the beginning, but really fucked it up in the end and makes the whole world look stupid. Really no one thought to use a sonic-based weapon on creatures whose only mode of perception was hearing? Especially that the said weapon is like made from common radio-parts and a hearing aid? Also I thought that the world ended in 1980-ish, but the sequel had smart phones so I guess not... >>96464405Damn anon it's still 2 month-ish away, you're getting prepared.
>>96467022These are the same guys that somehow never discovered that loud ambient noises create safe spaces. I imagine that would have been discovered very early on, just like you say. But honestly we're not supposed to think that way like with most monster movies. They just show up one day and destroyed the entire world. That'st he axiom axiom we have to accept here
>>96467022I want it to be a two month affair like Christmas is. Also trying to get my friends to celebrate Walpurgis Night so we can have a 2nd Halloween each Spring.
So /tg/ I did two games with different settings and systems, but using the same ideas. They were Delta Green and Chronicles of Darkess (which we later changed to Hunter the Vigil and Vampire).The concept was to make a chronicle inspired by Twin Peaks but using that "Mandela Effect" conspiracy theory. I'll try to summarize months of sessions. The players had to go to a small town in Maine called Honeyville and discover who killed the daughter of the CEO of a mega-corporation. They discover that not only does a cult that worships a spiritual creature with Lovecratian elements, called "Mr. Nobody," control the town, but also the corporation (something like Pentex from Werewolf: The Apocalypse). The cult is having a "civil war," and one of the factions sacrificed the CEO's daughter without the approval of all the members. Where does the Mandela Effect come in? Well, both players and cultists learn to enter a shadow world, a temporary reality far less detailed than ours, but similar to the Umbra or the otherworld in Silent Hill. Every time someone enters this world and interacts with anything there (even opening a door counts), it affects our reality. The world's history changes, people disappear or are replaced, and the memories of those who didn't enter this world also change. People who manage to enter this world are called "jumpers." So, both players and NPCs caused changes and only realized it when it was too late. It was amusing to see the confused faces every time they returned to town and realized something had changed. In the end, the players prevented the cult from sacrificing an albino girl with Rh-null blood, the rarest blood type in the world. The ritual would have made the spirit become a full-fledged god. Oh yeah, and the NPC that summoned the player characters was basically David Lynch, so I had to constantly imitate him.

>>96473231He is quite funny tho.Personally i dont give a shit about GW-like vehicles. With miniatures, its sometimes hard to find a proxy that is actually looking better than the original, but imperial tanks?Proxies like pic related look leagues better than GWs decades old plastic kits.

>>96469874To add on to this, the setting pretty much is the old world, and is currently in the 1780-1800's ish in terms of progress. The industrial revolution in this setting has introduced things like the steam engine, early bolt action rifles, and other inventions of this time. Pretty much this industral revolution gave the human states of the time (mostly elf vassal states or fringe kingdoms) a economic and technological advantage over the elderkin (elves) who where still fighting with swords and magic and where too arrogant to adapt to anything. When some of the vassal states started to step out of line, the elves (currently in a succession crisis) decided that nothing would legitimise the new dynasty like a quick war against the savages. This turned out to be a big mistake (elven society had grown decadent and arrogant) and the elves got absolutely butchered and the conflict quickly devolved into trench warfare. Eventually the elves adapted and with the help of several elven states and dwarf clans, where able to defeat most of the upstart human states. However they quickly found that technology had spread across the world and now even more of their vassals where in revolution, and even other races, like the orcs had started to get their hands on it. Now the elves have lost most of their empire, are no longer the major players and are pretty much hated by everyone.
Have an idea for a fantasy rpg world that I've been working on for a while. Basically just filling out a text doc with ideas. I have it in my head, I've tried using free map making things, but they're very jank and not really to the scale I want to explore. I want to make a fully explorable planet, but also have places of dense interest with sub themes, (weird wild west, far east inspired places, steam punk victorian flavored places, wild jungle tree top dwelling places, etc). I'm basically just ripping ideas directly from all of my favorite fantasy franchises and blatantly mashing them together, but also blending them and remixing them into an original setting. I would like to find someone smarter than me to help me condense this into a more cohesive idea, but I also don't want to get ripped off. I also want it to be an extremely slow reveal of the world as its explored. I would like to make it compatable with DnD and PF and other popular ttrpg systems, and maybe adapt it to novels and stuff. I want to include a pokemon style element type theme to everything, but boiled down to various combinations of earth, wind, fire, water, and everything be based off of a variation of these base elements. I also have a source of the strangeness and magic in the world that makes logical sense in a scifi fantasy sort of way. Like a kernel of origin for all the weirdness to act as the mcguffin and the driving force of the world.
>>96460954NTA, but why would the builders make it so large?
>>96460954The point of my suggestion was to offer a reason for mecha (logical in-universe siloing of mass combat and dungeon crawling); letting the mecha enter the dungeon obviates that and collapses back to "what do they add".
>>96472508The Parthenon is pretty big and they didn't have mechas.
>What is Genesys?Released in November 2017, Genesys is a pen-and-paper generic/universal RPG system and toolkit by Fantasy Flight Games and EDGE Studio, using a refined version of the system presented by their Star Wars RPGs (Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, Force and Destiny). Its central mechanic is the Narrative Dice System, using pools made of specialized dice to create narrative results. The intention is for the system to be a highly flexible narrative system, adaptable to most any conceivable setting and premise.https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/genesys/https://edge-studio.net/>Where can I find the books?Check the Online Extras pastebin below for something useless.

I I have done some tinkering and discovered that the Genesys system was fed into the later versions of ChatGPT.

Still developing it but very promising so far.

>>96467391Thanks for the constructive argumentation, it's fascinating how anons give such wildly opposite ideas.Just to be clear, yes Dex+Int is best choice for skilled works.But if I only use Agility, Agility+Int would become skilled-work and only 3 stats would lead to easy ninja agile, smart & crafty....unless I then use Agility/Dexterity+Awareness/Perception to cover a ninja who invested in Agility+Awareness but lack the Int to craft or disarm stuff.>Willpower+Vitality works fine for someone lifting something heavyMy magic system really override Strength and Willpower is to be a character defining stat you can chose not to invest in, not a Laziness stat.Sames goes for using Willpower along Intelligence to see things, it would force to put points in Willpower just in case.I must reveal that I intend to use Willpower as a bad thing due to magic or fast-talking a Willpower build lacking Int or charisma.I might look for a whole new attribute name.>>96467421Care to go in more depth why separating Dex & Agility is important for you?Myself I want to differentiate so an Assassin's can leverage Vitality+Dexterity over a plain Vitality+Agility.Comment too long.
