"I like games with a lot of depth. I like games in which you can dive in; games in which you can discover something (for example a new world); games in which you can try out different strategies; games which surprise you even though you have played them several times." - Wolfgang KramerPrevious: >>96626788Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/h8Tz2ze8Survey results: https://pastebin.com/YJPZ44rqThis general encompasses all board game genres - Eurogames, Ameritrash, Ameritreasure, Fillers, Party, Abstracts, Wargames, and especially the game that one anon is autistic about at this very moment.TQs:- What's a game mechanism you initially hated but later came to appreciate? - What game do you think is overrated, and what similar game would you recommend instead? - What's a board game opinion or piece of advice that you completely disagree with?

>>96657652>Musical themesWhat about games like Hitster or Hey yo where listening to music, beat is integral part of the game?Besides in euros like Lacriomosa, or roll&write On tour or other games where the theme is basically just there. Like in other games, in Anachrony you are literally not time traveling back, in Agricola you do not actually grow food - you just move wooden meeples. So musical theme is fine but you can implement music as part of the game.

>>96658219half the patrons at the FLGS are blacks who are into YuGiOh a bit too much, but the constant yelling does make for a good marketplace atmosphere in our games of Chinatown. Got one of them to play with us last weekend since he forgot his deck at home and others won't lend him theirs, he wasn't too hot at the math side of the game but he was competent enough and a charismatic deal maker on top of that, dude's got some promise and could go pro if he wanted.

>>96656512But if it doesn't have a dozen paragraphs explaining aaaaaaaaalllllllll the things it can do you're going to bitch and moan because it can only do one or two things and that's Charm bloat. It's a no-win situation with you.
>>96657295>But if it doesn't have a dozen paragraphs explaining aaaaaaaaalllllllll the things it can do you're going to bitch and moan because it can only do one or two things and that's Charm bloat.You're making shit up. Hypnotic Tongue Technique and Sandstorm-Wind Attack are flexible charms, dicetricks and +1 willpower once/story are completely inflexible. Wound-Mending Care Technique vs Wholeness-Restoring Meditation is an example of your argument of 'flexible = longer but also better' being correct and even in that case it's worthwhile to do. Get over yourself.
>>96656553It was neph who made page long charms for no reason. I only found out it was him after mummy because he was a dev on it and his unnecessarily long prose was all over those powers as well.
>>96656553It's so fucking weird reading shit like Peopny Blossom Technique in Core and Time Scything Tchnique in Abyssals. The biggest comparisons, however, are between Wyld Shaping Technique and Nightmare Carving Murmur, how the fuck did the former end up the way it did?
Sweet god. I finally got Abyssal's book. I'll never like 3e art. 90% is so shit.

How derivative is your setting?
>>96652010It's derviative of at least 4 different things smushed together with my own autism sprinkled on top, which counts as it being original.
>>96656353>Eragon did have legsno. I read the first three books and they were all trash. Then I got the ending spoiled for me and I knew it was unsalvagable
>>96654360>and they smugly mock the silly beliefs of dwarves to their faces in their own templesDoesn't at least one god of the dwarves unquestionably exist, too? I seem to remember he shows up at some point.>>96658109The ending, as in the very last chapters of the last book, after the big bad's defeat, was actually pretty interesting. The victors immediately go right back to hating each other, the elves and dwarves force a traumatized, easily-manipulated black woman onto the throne of the Empire instead of the embittered rightful heir so that they can keep mankind under their control, Eragon and all the dragons just fuck off into the wilderness, and you can just tell the whole continent is going to erupt into war pretty fucking soon. It's quite bitter overall.

>>96657785>the longer GW makes their games the ore formulaic they becomeGW used to be an rpg company, it no longer is, simple as. The only defense is that it seems to happen to EVERY rpg property so at least its not entirely vindictive.
>>96657853which, of course, was always the plan of the traitor alpha legion
>>96657854I am okey with there being the best or "tournament" list, what I do not understand is why they want to kill every other way to play. Don't they want to sell, stuff like despoilers or assault space marines? The bike guys cry all the time about their bikes. Why can't there be a detachment to make bikes and jetbikes actualy worth taking. Want a terminator army? Here you go a detachment that lets you run terminators with either venguard 1 or line 1. What is most mind blowing is that they did have it already . Pricks of the Legion wasn't the best way to play any space marine legion, but if someone wanted to run just termis they could do it.
>>96657920Anon genuinely have you even read the book
>>96658246which book. the core book? yes. The loyalist marine rules book, yest to that too. No one here plays mechanicus, custodes or army, so I do not know about their army. What I do see on a weekly basis was armies going from transition , trying to fit your 2.0 army in to 3.0 to every legion running, more or less the same army. And that sucks. In 2.0 we had people rite armies and those were different, sometimes very different. Now in 3.0 it doesn't matter if you play ultramarines, fists, RG, DA every army spams tacticals, AV14, rapiers with phospex etc.

>>96657787How does wargames illustrated work, fellas? On their website the October issue only has fireflies sprues as an option to order, but I want to get a couple of the staltruppen. Will both options be randomly available at gamestores that carry it? The one local one I know does said their issues haven't come in yet and they don't have the choice to pick what sprues they get.

>>96655199We'll have to see how much influence he tries to press. Right now, he and his company are just handling production and distribution, with Bryan Steele still on as the game designer, while manufacturing is done by Trenchworx.As for how the new edition plays, if you haven't seen the rules yet, its very much a mix of 1st Ed. and Dark Age. LoS rules are funky, though.
>>96658240>manufacturing is done by Trenchworx.I haven't been mad about the miniatures I've been seeing people receive. Siocast isn't very impressive. Mould lines across the entire model, somewhat soft details, flash for days.>But muh snap traysMeans dick all to me.

>>96658137The Fiends embrace the already disturbed nine times out of ten. Degenerate thought masked as inhuman metamorphosis is their culture, they also exalt the physical as divine, which makes them unusually inclined to displays of sexuality so vulgar it makes Toreador balk. Oh, and they also have a culture where it's considered an accomplishment if you horrify normal people, and giant freaky dicks is an easy and cheap way to do that. Or... that theory I keep hearing that they've all got some disease in their blood is true.
>>96657204I honestly prefer blood dolls to random homeless dudes. I can get them to eat a clean diet instead of alcohol and canned beansYou do you dude/dudette
>>96658151Do NOT challenge the them to use their penises. I saw a lick eat another lick with their you-know-what after the lick who got eaten called the fiend a limp-dicked lightweight
>>96658048you can not fight the technomancers do not even try, it is best to simply hide from their watch, imagine a flashlight that projects the pure rays of the sun, or a death squad that teleports via the internet this is the power of the world's true rulers.there are actual ways to cheat diablerie my clan knows a lot about that. but for you diablerizing a higher gen brings no benefit besides possibly learning their disciplines and risk of being possessed. the only reason one might do it was if they were addicted to diablerie.
>>96658182If you know where to hunt, you don't need to target homeless. Hobos are all filled with diseases and drugs anyway. Either hunt right after sundown or right before sunup. The latter is far more dangerous. These are when normal mortals are the most active. Even these nights with club and bar culture dying joggers are relatively plentiful and a good amount of people still eat out on occasion. Stick near where mortals in your area congregate after work and you can easily find one to isolate and drain without them making it weird. If you get them from behind, that plus the kiss will make the entire thing a haze for them.

>>96654375Are the goats mounts or giving the climbing buff to adjacent units?
>>96654375Is he a Gorg-Goat Herder, or a Gorg Goat-Herder?
>>96656726If he herds goats in general, then he is a gorg goat-herder. If he herds gorg-goats only, then he is a gorg-goat herder.
>>96656557I was thinking of having them be the same as the doggos with the Gebs and Dog-sleds, so they are in reserve most of the time and only modify the assigned model, until someone uses the rule to get them to spawn close to the models assigned.
I've decided to decease my internet time and blue light exposure, buy an ebook reader, and get used to finishing the day with some reading, instead of all the other things that give me insomnia.What /tg/-related books have you been reading anon, or what you think what other people should read too? I've read Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit before I knew what the hell ttrpgs even were. Same with the original Dragonlance books. I was thinking of picking up Elric of Melnibone and Original Conan the Barbarian. Already read and enjoyed Eisenhorn, most of the Slayer books with Gotrek, first 1.5 of the Black Company books. And dear god I haven't read books for fun in so long, what have I been doing?
>>96603000Wheel of Time series is great, the sci fi greats are all generally fun to read. If you like a lot of Warhammer stuff check out Dune and Foundation because you'll see some familiar ideas.
>>96622134Idk bro anyone who says Heinlein is a neocon author hasn't read Heinlein.
>>96657027Wheel of time is far from great, is a good worldbuilding with a jack shit implementation of the themes the writers wants to write about. With a lot of chaff, useless exposition, the most insufrable magicians I ever read about and legit made me consider misoginy isn't that bad.

Previous thread: >>96462767GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image (follow the URL to get to a folder with some files, read the files to get to the archive). Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: Which rule do you constantly see shilled but always thought it was shit?
>>96645257Isn't this useless if Chris Rice comes in, write it down and report it to hi gf's bf?
>>96656930First, for more mundane articles: pyramid article about scrhodinger backpackssecond for "this is totally an advantage" stuff, use modular abilities. For more batman-like behavior, add the limitation "requires prep time"
>>96656930Flexible/ass-pull gadget abilities can be handled a few different ways>Wildcard Abilities (Supers): Buy an ability at x4 the cost, can use any ability that costs no more than the wildcard ability's normal base cost if it makes sense; for Batman, a core advantage for bullshit gadgets might be Gadgeteer or high Wealth, as long as the abilities used this way have a Gadget limitation>Gizmo (or other retroactive abilities from the Pyrmaid #3/35 article "Fortunately, I Saw This Coming"), plus Meta-Tech to give abilities a cash cost>Modular Abilities (Abilities with Gadget limitations only)
>>96656980Yes, if a human wanted to shut down the archive they could. But I can also just rebuild the archive, make a new link, and post it in the next thread, spending a couple of minutes of my time. I probably don't care enough to beat him if he focuses his impressive levels of autism at the problem, but other anons can easily spawn more repositories than one autist can shut down. In the extreme case, even if SJG and all their fans declare all-out-war on the effort, we can just upload everything to Anna's Archive or one of the other serious pirate e-book libraries. That makes it slightly harder to download the books, but almost impossible to remove them.(Actually, come to think of it, we should do that anyway; go ahead and post stuff to AA).The reason I make the links obscure to machines is that there do seem to actually be bots which hunt for archives on imageboards in order to take them down.
>>96656980You joke, but I'm pretty sure Rice did a 'pity please' begging-for-money post because his literal gf's bf died from being fat or something.
