Alright TG since its been a while and I haven't seen a thread on this but lets have a good old traditional fantasy and Wi-Fi art thread. Post some classic or old pieces of settings art to share.
Is classic a style (group of styles), an age, or just a "feels lie it fits"?

>>96492124Same, i love vpets so ex9 is up my alley. Si havent spent that much on a set in a long time though so it hurts my wallet bad.

Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have!Last thread: >>96080428Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: https://pastebin.com/JNnj79S5 (embed)https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/Fantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generatorDiscord: https://discord.gg/6ZjEc7dy4TThread questions:>Do you refer to "generic" materials like pic related, trope lists, etc, to derive inspiration, either by borrowing or intentionally eschewing them?
I have people living in space colonies near a gas giant and I had the idea of them weaponizing the hydrogen they collect off it with giant tanker mines, but how actually do you weaponize that in space, since explosives work quite differently with no atmosphere
>>96489985Just regular old thermonuclear warheads. Big bursts of radiation are still deadly. You can shape your charges too if you want, so consider that to get that sweet sweet Casaba-Howitzer action (nuclear spears). You need more ingredients than that, but at least those are sometimes called H-bombs so you have that. Otherwise, use the hydrogen as reaction mass for kinetic weapons.
How do I make the southern ocean impassible? Sea monsters? Strong winds? Heat?

>>96483821Females have a minimum size they must be in order to successfully give birth or lay eggs (for egg-laying species this is particularly important, since the calcium for the eggshells comes from the female's bones. The larger the female, the larger the bone mass, and more calcium can be leached off without causing osteoporosis). So for males to be bigger you usually need a specific reason for it to be so. Usually it's either that the males compete for mates or have harems of females that they protect (or both at the same time), in which case being bigger provides an advantage. In most species the male is larger, it's for that reason. Though there's some exceptions. A bunch of snakes have males that are larger than females seemingly for no reason (likely just some random evolutionary quirk that has no reason to be selected against because it's not like it's negative affecting them), though usually in those cases the size difference is small.

>>96485407>TQI hate every miniature that's cast in metal.
>>96492175Neat minis. I never played Mordheim but I heard the rules weren't balanced at all and the game quickly fell apart.
>>96485407>TQI know some people hate this model (for some reason), but I love it. The mechanical steed is awesome.
>>96487621Your forgeworld ork vehicles are quite admirable
>>96492594Maybe officially GW pumped and dumped Mordheim, but it's still played today even in their HQ so there's something to be said about fun despite imbalance, the main rulebook warbands are however pretty well balanced against each other.
Which setting has the best version of Egypt?
>>96379239Space-faring, technologically advanced Ancient Egypt, built up like a hermetic cult, is what got me to collect Thousand Sons, unironically.*chef kiss*
>>96488275coolest legion
>>96386261>Not enough bronze age settings.Have you considered Runequest?
>>96386860>>96457161A few cool things about Ancient Egypt, specifically, in contrast to other "bronze age" states or the stereotype:- The Nile's overwhelming importance. The terrain of Egypt is not "deserts and oases," it's basically a giant line that creates a 1 dimensional country.- Until 1960, the Nile would regularly flood every single year, slowly washing away any buildings. Bad for archaeologists, but a cool and unique thing you don't see elsewhere.- Egypt was, in fact, not always politically unified, nor was it an ethnic monoculture; the Hyksos (probably Canaanite settlers) took over north Egypt, at the same time the Kushites were pushing up from the south, and probably they formed an alliance to buttfuck them- Chariots. Horses hadn't gotten big enough to ride them to war yet, is my understanding.- They quite often had pet monkeys.- They thought basically every animal was sacred to some god or another. While the Greeks no doubt exaggerated this in some of their accounts, it was a real tendency. Crocodile cults were more common in rural Egypt, though they were found mummified in Thebes and the city the Greeks called Crocodilopolis.
>>96379239Real life
The spicier the better. I'll start to get the ball rolling: MTG, DnD and Warhammer are actually good for the hobby. They get new people started in this hobby and they keep the trend chasers contained and away from the rest of the hobby.Appealing to the normie masses is a necessary evil in order to keep what you love afloat. Even if it comes with the negative baggage of doing so.Generals are good for /tg/.
>>96487457>We are normies. None of us is special.Do not think this as a 4chan browser. You unironically think differently if you use this website over any of the mainstream social medias regardless of the reason.
>>96488817>comic made by /v/tards who don't realize the tl;dr is "Marketing did it"Yeah good point
99% of all shitskins do not want to play fantasy games, regardless of how many brownoids companies clumsily shoehorn into the artwork of their games. If you’re a white guilt redditor, just take solace in knowing that you gave nogs a big warm gay welcome into your hobby but they just weren’t interested. Accept that trad games are a white culture thing, along with all the fantasy they depict, and move on
>>96487291Lore shouldn't have to be completely concise or even consistent to appease the autists. People don't agree about the significance of stuff that's going on today(which recent president is responsible for the impending Great Recession II etc) and tons of websites from the 90's/00's are gone forever. So imagine how much disagreement and lost information there'd be about stuff that happened centuries or millennia ago.
>>96492545I'd honestly want more of them to get into it just to keep them off crime
Why do traditional games seem to attract the most socially undesirable people? Not trolling, I seriously would like to get to the bottom of this. I don't get it, tabletop games are social in nature so why do they attract anti-social weirdos, you expect these types to stay at home and video game. Why are some games MUCH worse that other when it comes to players, ie. Warhammer 40k is worse than historical Wargames, compared MtG to Chess, etc. Is there an explanation for this phenomenon?
>>96490175Kek

>>96490501yes, this is the end game of being groomed by /pol/, and it's bad for being able to exist and function in the world. thanks for demonstrating.
>>96491728>Send me back 20 years in time and I have the tools to become an absolute Gigachad.You have them right now, but you won't.I don't know where this idea comes from, that the issue that keeps you from self-actualization is lack of knowledge on some secret to success. You're fat because you're lazy, you don't have friends because you're too socially anxious to talk to people, and you're poor because you're too dumb and/or lazy to get a college degree in a well-compensated field.
>>96486188No idea.Most people I meet who do the hobby I don't really connect with, I tend to play with friends and family.A lot of the guys I have met in the hobby are just too ill mannered for me to ever have in my house for a game. And I would probably not play a game with someone I would not have over. Stinky, weird, too political, impolite, ultra competitive, disrespectful of my property or family, you will not get a second chance. Ever.

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?

>>96491841out of curiosity, what defines them as 'Swiss'??
>>96491841Looks a little more 40k than Trench Crusade. probably because of the glowing bits and the pistol that looks kind of like one of the newer bolt pistols from this angle.
>>96491841Definitely feels more sci-fi, and way too clean. Maybe it'd feel right if he were covered in rust and gore? Ultimately it's agnostic and you can paint whatever minis you want, it's just a touch off
>>96491654Yeah, absolutely. From my experience aside from some dedicated melee heavy hitters (which most faction can only have a small number of), ranged weapons definitely tend to be stronger than melee in TC, do you need plenty of terrain if you don't want them to dominate. Also, it looks cool and opportunity to use jumping/climbing rules is always fun >>96491841He does look cool and the paintjob is very nice, but I do agree with others that the camo and weapons make him look more modern or even futuristic
>>96492060Yeah, I was limited on appropriate bits. The silenced autopistol is from Necromunda. >>96492043If I get some WargameAtlantics kits. I'll do the appropriate ww2 uniforms. I used that green-gray color for the body under the duble cloak, but it's barely visible.I also plan on doing some equipment of the TAZ57 (Alpenflage) era, but only for special characters. This guy has the camo cover and the gun is black-scoffed metal like the SIG 510.

>>96491431Surplus battledroids have been used multiple times by criminal elements. And I could easily imagine some warships getting smuggled out. If a legal pretense is needed, maybe a corrupt Imperial officer sold 'scrapping rights' to a contractor and 'forgot' to ensure that fully dismantled them.

>>96489585Best thing to happen in Legion in a long time, though these Generic Jedi seem like they could be somewhat overtuned depending on how they are costed.>>96489236>Ventress/Maul/Ahsokakek, confirmed to be Padawan/Inquisitor-tier forcelets.More seriously I'm more worried about the Jedi Consular or Jedi Training (Force Adept) getting them to MOTF2 which would be crazy if not costed appropriately. I'm surprised these seem to be so high-power when Rebel and Imperial generics are closer to the 65-110pts range. I suppose it makes sense with Republic being the Elite faction with expensive units.>>96492333For context>Mando S1 and S2 both got 7 Emmys>Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and Mando S3 each got 1>The most TCW got in a year was 2>Andor S1 got 0I don't think these awards mean much.
>>96492617ahsoka being MoTF1 makes sense, ventress and maul should get a buff though
8th edition effectively killed this setting and franchise. The setting progression destroyed it all man. How would we fix Warhammer?Arch was right Outercircle was right Gamza was right

>>96491093NTA but the marxists are the ones making pennies on the dollar to shove their faggy propaganda in franchised bookslop, not that ones collecting a fat paycheck and not caring what the plebs get up to so long as the money keeps flowing.>>96491315Yeah, most actual punks were highly educated neonazis and rapists but the corpo-worshipping leftists that co-opted the aesthetic and ultimately killed the movement don't want you to know that.
The moment everything went to shit.
I don't really dislike primaris other than the phobos units being too tacticool. But I do feel like they should keep 40K as it is with mirrored terrain etc as a containment game for competitive autists but do a Warhammer for Adults variant where you get 30-50 guys, 1-2 tanks, and 1 commander. And fill that mode up with random event tables, NPC aliens/monsters, complicated scenarios, and other stuff the competitive dorks will hate.
>>96479099I'm sorry to hear you're unhappy with it, and have been for so long. I guess you'll be moving on from Warhammer and investing your time and energy into a different game or activity, right?

Which game is currently in a worse state?
40k is far worse even though I absolutely hate magic right now. My thoughts are based on the effort. Current 10th edition 40k is exhausting and I'm having to up date my current armies to the new unit changes. The terrain sucks, the feel sucks, everything doesnt feel "correct". Easily 3+ hours for a game in the middle of the week after work is exhausting. In MTG I can play a few games for fun with friends and not really commit. We burned on on EDH so right now we're playing with our old sets of Innistrad decks from college. Both games are still fun - but a commitment to magic is easier, cheaper, and you're not "chasing the feels" to stay locked into the 40k hobby. The best approach is always to take it as a beer and pretzels casual fun game you play with your friends. We play games to have fun and have a good time. Don't follow the dark path of competitive play in either game.
>>96492582This. The best option is to just not participate, no matter what your political views are
>>96492570All woke goes broke eventually. Give it time.
>>96492605No anon, you must play competitively. 40k is no longer your casual hobby.
>>96492622You have no power here L Ruin! Begone Club-Shirt-Wearing-Tournament-Player! Back I say!Like I said, both games are fine if you tune down the competitive side and just goofy off. I used to play Warmachine / Warmahordes in MK2 and MK3 and the game wasn't fun after a point due to how cutthroat it was. The terrain there was even worse! My group all has wives, I dont have kids yet so I'll host and have some friends over to game on my tables and shoot the shit. It's a lot of fun. I'm also becoming far more anti social since I'm not going to the FLGS or showing up at events. Conventions are still great, I highly recommend. Just don't go to Adepticon only for the tournaments. Remember the hobby is mostly sitting in a room painting.
