Every time I search for a cool "barbarian" in some RPG, no matter if it's dark fantasy or not, it's always the half-naked dude or chick that looks like he / she has just wake up after an university party.It gives the same vibes that you get from watching an historical film and for some reason, the filmmakers hate natural colors and must put a filter that ruins your immersion.Is it there a good RPG with proper "barbarians"?
>itt: umm ackshyually the original meaning of barbarian is simply "foreigner"Ok and the original meaning of daemon is a guiding spirit that can be entirely benevolent. All evil hell demons that want to eat your soul are inaccurate and should not be in your games.We are not in ancient greece anymore. Barbarian means "savage" now.
>>96492980We must do a Re-Hellenization.
>>96457768Barbarians are thematically closer to berserkers, which are specifically described as going into war 'bare-shirt' and going into a trance-like battle fury. Once you understand this, your 'tism' should be soothed.>>96460792They're literally the same thing, in fantasy media.
>>96457768IRL barbarians are gay. Give me fantasy barbarians any day
as an australian barbarian i prefer to just wear shortsbecause its hot

I have been playing and running Draw Steel's playtest since August of last year, and have since moved on to the release version. I recently ran a brief level 5 game. This is my play report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Be1a7GJ1gjK7SqYQWZmxA2Tx_nIF6vRcTNqOKuUUQ3g/editThe full version is above, but to summarize:• I had four players. One had already played the system a fair bit, and had experience with grid-based tactical games like D&D 4e and ICON. The other three were new, but also had experience with tactical games.• I set this in the timescape's space-fantasy upper worlds, in a UNISOL-aligned manifold. The story began with a counterattack on the fleet of Lord Syuul, and culminated in delving into the minds of two Space Gods to save a planetary system.• I kept basic numerical statistics transparent, but enemy traits and abilities opaque.• Negotiations were received poorly by the players. They felt too rote (uncover, appeal, uncover, appeal, repeat), and it quickly became evident that some PCs should just step back and let the characters with relevant perma-edges (e.g. High Elf Glamor) handle everything.• Montages had a somewhat better reception, but the players still were not too warm on them. They just do not like 4e-style skill challenges.• Combat was the most well-received facet of the system. The consensus seemed to be "decent, would definitely play again, but nothing special compared to other grid-based tactical games we have already played."Comment too long.

>>96497917Nice. Been wanting to hear more from this system.>>96497926>but nothing special compared to other grid-based tactical gamesWhat games do they consider better?
>>96497917>• Another pain point was the sheer complexity, leading to slowdown. Maybe it was because three of the players were new, but mid-level combat felt significantly more complex than mid-level 4e combat, in large part due to the constantly fluctuating Heroic Resource pools.And this is before we get into tracking surges on each PC, and on each attack...>>96498385>Nice. Been wanting to hear more from this system.Thank you. I am genuinely invested in Draw Steel, but I am not going to ignore its shortcomings.>What games do they consider better?In my case, the shadow's player seems to like D&D 4e more than Draw Steel, while the troubadour's player looks to prefer Tom Abbadon's ICON 2.0 (or at least the current pre-pre-pre-alpha of it, anyway).
I submitted my Draw Steel summoner playtest survey.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h2to8GJMvfcmg-G_aJCX4aGbZwaptldwpC5h7j0KyCo/editIt is a superb start, but...• The class has an uncomfortable amount of ambiguities. Furthermore, the minion rules are tough to grasp, especially since they diverge from bestiary minions at several key junctures.• Midair fall summoning should not be possible.• The bestiary has many board wipes available to enemies (some of which call for individual tests from each target, forcing a summoner’s minions to make all of those tests). "Oops, all your minions are gone" feels punitive and unfun for a summoner.• Call Forth should not be eligible for Learn from a Master (Hone Ability).• Take the Hit! is currently the single best summoner triggered action by an extreme margin.• The class's damage is front-loaded. It is excessive at 1st echelon, okay at 2nd echelon (Rex Scepter aside), and underwhelming at 3rd and 4th.• Swap Ward is just too good as printed, and too universally applicable.• Many of the treasures and titles in this document are too strong. The Warbanner of Pride, the 33 Field Commanders Baton, the Rex Scepter (particularly with dandeknights, and yes, even without the misreading that allows extra attacks on Strike for Me even on a natural 18 or below), Safeguarded, and Summoner Successor are especially egregious.• The retainer summoner is not good when it is stuck with razors and violences, and not ensnarers and spewlers.Comment too long.

>>96368744Are there any battle report youtube channels that don't have shit fucking cameras?
>>96498470No one on youtube plays this anymore
>>96498470The best I watched was probably miniwargaming, but even then a majority of the time it isn’t “great”. Infinity is kind of hard to make a good looking battle report on since 95% of the board is just terrain compared to other games where models take up more real estate of the board.Speaking of which, Rob Shepard if you lurk here I like your above angle screenshots for your battle reports and the whole play-by-play but for the love of god mate please take some like cinematic snaps at least of some cool moments, since your battle reports just look like a bunch of buildings with little markers everywhere and at a glance it’s impossible to tell what the fuck is going on.
>>96498406>That alone is justification to resculpt the rest of the line.FTFY.

>find out about the elder scrolls wargame>get very excited >check all the units and stuff>they seem good but where’s the variety?>they have stuff for the first dlc but where is the solstheim stuff? >Falmer? Breton stuff? Other games? Creative liberty stuff? Anything like that?>doesn’t seem like anything new has released in years, yet the game “isn’t abandoned”So what happened here? It doesn’t look like they made any ESO stuff (which I’m mostly fine with) but wouldn’t that give them more sales? I feel like this is a really good concept. No idea if the game is good but I can work with the models. Is it dead? More than anything I really want them to do stuff with the second dlc so I can get morrowind-lite miniatures
>>96497773Anon, just look at the models, they literally used 3d models from Skyrim as the base. It was always a low effort cash grab.
>>96497918I kind of like how much they look like vanilla Skyrim though. But yeah judging by how dead it is, I guess it was just a cash grab. Man… I didn’t even know the game existed a day ago and now I’m like just bummed out. Really wish I had some morrowind chitin armor miniatures with their weirdo helmets. Like even the Skyrim version would have been good enough.
>>96498077If you are not against printing yourself or getting it printed for you - Scourgeland Survivors on myminifactory is probably exactly what you want. They are humans instead of elves, but their armor is in the same style as Morrowind.
Mantic's Deadzone (and Firefight) got a rules update a month and a half ago.https://www.manticgames.com/news/deadzone-rules-update/They say they'd release a PDF with the changes but I don't see it anywhere.

Wait a minute, so if "the Old World" is set centuries before Warhammer Fantasy Battles has black Empire troops, female Bretonnian Knights and Dwarf Warriors, does this mean some horrific regression happened by the time of Karl Franz???Seriously how would they address this?
>>96496844Female warriors are stupid enough in the 21st century, but it's completely ridiculous in pre-industrial levels of infant mortality, which are likely to be even higher in a crapsack setting like Warhammer. Problem is that modern RPG writers seem to be hacks who don't really know anything and have no real interest in history etc.
>>96495926Brettonia being insanely sexist and Dwarves coveting their rare women like treasure is very well-established lore anon
>>96498589>Brettonia being insanely sexistWell, GW clearly wanted to retcon as we can't have a good guy faction being bigoted in any way. but kept the fact only women could be magic users in Brettonia and probably with Kislev when we get a new army list for them down the line in TOW
>>96496042That picture genuinely makes no fucking sense.
>>96498649Thing is, everyone is gonna shut down any criticism about this if people approach it with the American culture war retardation of "they made it le woke". What you should actually criticize it for is "why would you want representation in a faction that treat their peasants like garbage to the point that they're always starving and all the other factions make fun of them for it".
>Find a hexcrawl map that's perfect for the campaign you want to run>The hexes do not align with Roll20's Hex(V)
>>96489877Ngl I've stopped using roll20's grids altogether if the image already has one. Just size the tokens to match the size of the tiles, them snapping into place isn't that important.
>>96494701>he doesn't know how free transform worksThis is why you need to learn basic image editing, retard.
>>96494675>youareamanofculture.jpgNice map and campaign aspirations. 10/10 would die in the jungle with.
>>96494718Yeah, that's the most prudent option. I guess I got tunnel-vision on trying to get the hexes to align that I forgot I can just turn the grid off and move people grid-by-grid.>>96495753Thank you! I'm quite excited for the campaign, I've been binging Black Sails to really get that "lusty Caribbean" aesthetic down. The primary antagonist will be a Vampire Conquistador under authority of Luthor Harkon to seek lizard trinkets in the area. Classic set-up, aye?
>>96489877You know what's even worse? Getting map that explicitly states that it aligns with Roll20's Hex and you -still- have to finagle the scaling and hex settings to get it to almost but not perfectly align.
