>>97218010[black and white, sketch-like] if you are still here and in a willing mood;"In a damp, torch-lit cavern, depict a scene of grim captivity. Two dozen small, fuzzy oortlings are herded against a rough-hewn wall, their large eyes wide with terror, kept in a tight, trembling pack. Dominating the scene is a single mind flayer, its illithid form imposing and cerebral, its tentacles idly coiling as it surveys its living larder with cold, psionic calculation. Flanking it are two immense, hairless mutant thralls: obese ogre-cyclops hybrids with sickly albino skin, a single brutish eye each, and crude clubs resting on their shoulders. Enforcing the perimeter are two bestial grimlock slaves, their eyeless faces sniffing the air, and two hulking, fur-covered quaggoth slaves, their claws and fangs bared, ensuring not a single oortling escapes its fate as future brain cattle. The atmosphere is thick with fear, dampness, and the promise of horrific consumption."
>>97222251error; pale, and hairless oortlings. Not fuzzy (could work as a subspecies bred to be able to survive and thus be eaten in more varied environments.)

What are your experiences with in-game moral and ethical dilemmas and players saying, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave"?I feel as though a lot of GMs' attempts at in-game moral and ethical dilemmas are unwittingly sabotaged by adventure inertia and players' desire to avoid saying, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave."The way I usually see it structured, a bunch of antagonists stir up trouble. The PCs agree to help the locals. The party investigates some dangerous place or situation. Then, at the very end of the adventure, the PCs see that the antagonists have some vaguely justifiable reason for causing trouble.The above structure is perfectly fine (and indeed, I have used it many times myself as a GM), but where things get janky is when the antagonists sincerely plea for the PCs to just turn around and leave, and the GM earnestly expects this to be an option that should be seriously taken into consideration.I have never, ever seen this happen, for understandable reasons. Very, very few players want to say, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave." It is much more common for the players and their PCs either work out a compromise with major concessions from the antagonists, beat up the antagonists, or both (i.e. beat up, restrain, work out compromise and major concessions from position of power).(Continued.)

>>97218216We've been on hiatus for various reasons for over a year now, so I really haven't recently.
>>97217010I imagine that gnome would get fucked up like the printer from Office Space.
>>97200663My experience is any time I try to put the party in a scenario which might question their morals or have them ask “what is the right thing to do” in any way, they just completely walk away from the issue, even if the issue in question is the whole point of the session/campaign, which they agreed to ahead of time. This has led to multiple occasions where the party has effectively held the session hostage by refusing to make a choice and progress unless I provide them a third option which lets them resolve the scenario without having to make an uncomfortable decision. Sometimes I cave to keep things going, and sometimes I don’t and just have them suffer the consequences of indecision.I recently ran a Christmas session of Star Wars SAGA. The basic premise is the party came to a village of people who were effectively Christmas elves. They were being threatened by bandits, and the party had to train up the militia to fight them off. I asked the players a week in advance which option they wanted to use to defend the village, and “train them to defend themselves” was the choice that everyone agreed on.Come time for the actual session, two of the players decide they are now uncomfortable putting the villagers in danger. So, when it comes time for the ‘rallying speech’, one of the players whips out a blaster and domes an old woman with a stun shot when she objected to their plan, and then called everyone who is uncomfortable with this a coward who doesn’t have what it takes to fight. This was followed up by the second player putting the final nail in the coffin by telling all the villagers the plan was to use them as bait. Unsurprisingly, none of the villagers trusted the party enough to accept any training from them.These two players then proceeded to give me grief afterwards when I said that, with none of the militia having been trained up, the bandits rolled into town, killed anyone who couldn’t run, and burned down half the buildings.
>>97219786Not the worst way to deal with it, honestly. Hope your next group is better.

>>97218151Hollow men and su-jian are also HI. The cutoff is that human-sized REMs or remotely piloted suits of armor are HI, which is also why the zond is a REM and not HI as it's not a suit of armor, despite transforming like the su-jian
>>97220278Also K2 Auxiliars(though it's the weeniest HI out there)

>>97222058chaos in 40k is cucked by having to be marines, and thousand sons even more so
>>97222058Tzeentch was the main focus in WFRP campaigns like the Enemy Within so which allowed greater development early on
>>97222058not sure if you mean purely models or lore, but the Ahriman novels have a ton of tzeentchian bureaucrats in the administratum, Wrath of Magnus had a lot of cultists and the changeling etc and in the heresy there's a lot of cult shenanigans including the changeling and the Prospero Burns character. You probably aren't wrong though, I wonder if it is because 'magic' is less appealling a topic in science fiction as it is in fantasy?
>>97216525Sorry, this is a fantasy game first and foremost.For boring historic slop you have to go somewhere else.

>>97221960Okay cool. I'll avoid and look for something else or wait for that Anarchy 2.0 to come out. Preview looked decent.Also off topic, but why do designers have a hard on for rules lite "narrative" style games these days? Why is there such a big push to reinvent the wheel instead of just reiterating and improving on what previously worked.
>>97221936Gobbet, my beloved.
>>97221975There's this idea that there's a barrier to popularity in complexity; and that the simpler a game is the more money it's going to make. Not only is this completely wrong, they're often stupidly tearing out most of the interesting systems and mechanics and leaving behind dull ones because they weren't complicated.RED thankfully didn't make this mistake, not entirely. It's simpler, but there's plenty going on to keep people interested without also being in modifier hell (though I feel a lot of GMs I've played with are terrified of applying circumstantial modifiers, so it's whatever). There are other flaws in the system, but the bones are good and you can build it up where it needs bulk.
>>97222039tbf Red does try it's hand at more narrative style gameplay. Rockerboy and Media have very wishy washy abilities open to interpretation.Also Red does try to limit crunch by making the combat and character building very simple.
>>97222172Well those are two roles that would be very unsatisfying if you made them much more granular. That said they're not quite as insubstantial as they seem.Charismatic Impact is actually crunchier than it might immediately appear; I just find GMs don't tend to pay enough attention and can sometimes make it work like mind control. Broadly its a way to scattershot assistance wherever you go; unlike Backup or an Exec's Teamwork, you can run into fans anywhere and you don't have to drag them with you. Even at rank 4 there's more going on than it would appear: Being able to play at well known Clubs necessarily gets you into all the well known club, and you're one rank away from necessarily being able to play (and thus enter) any club that's not explicitly exclusive. Otherwise you're building effectively a contact list as you make fans and can shake them down weekly (figuratively) for favors, which has the rules breakdown of "I have an ever increasing pool of NPCs that I get a favorable social roll on to just have them do shit for me". Use that smartly, and you're going to have the rockstar treatment wherever you go in the most literal sense of the word.Similarly, Credibility has some bite to it if the GM will just play it right. Passive rumors go automatically, so the GM should be keeping you connected and assuming he's not feeding you bullshit intentionally, something is going to be useful. Even if it's not, publishing can work a variety of ways to your advantage more than just having a magazine. You can 'publish' to individual people or organizations and what you publish doesn't even need to be true. It's definitely more fluffy than all the others and more nebulous than Charismatic Impact though.

>>97221591>>97221664Sometime after the first print, but by the fourth. Errata v4.4 lists:"Movement Restrictions: Whether or not the battle armor is equipped with magnetic clamps, no vehicle may expend UMU, VTOL, WiGE or Jumping MP while carrying mechanized battle armor, and no ’Mech may expend UMU MP."This was changed to the text I posted here >>97221567 in the 10th printing. (That's likely why it ISN'T in CI, as that box released before the 10th print, and never got errata'd.
The only way Battle Armor can move underwater is with UMUs, right?
>>97221711They can move under water just fine.Just not fast, so they count as out of the game for the couple minutes a combat encounter lasts.
>>97221247Eisensturm is a flying Atlas with dual gauss rilfes.Though I think FWL's Shiva is pretty good as well. It also has a dual gauss configuration but on top of that also has a pulse laser one that absolutely shreds units when making ground attacks (remember that ASFs attacking ground units always count as attacking from short range, so you always get the -2 from pulses). It does have far less armor than the Eisensturm, but you get 3 Shivas at the BV of 2 Eisensturms, and regardless of the armor tye Eisensturm still gets one-shotted by an unlucky lawdart roll.
>>97220893Strider you are overlooking that it is frankly insanely cheap and a bit of a zombie in the grand scheme of things thanks to C.A.S.E. and a standard engine. If you treat it like an IFV meant to transport and support BA then it does have moments to shine.Owens yeah no idea what they were thinking. Its basically scout competing with a bunch of excellent scout options and even using one as a spotter feels like an expensive waste?
