>>96766628No, that was just TNG's way to pad out more episodes into a season - it wasn't a core part of the story or characterization for anyone (other than the guy who was addicted to it).
I logged on to mtgo for the first time in like a decade and realized my modern decks were all rotated out by modern jewrizons sets. should I take the pauper pill or simply kms?
>>96766543Counterpoint: Dwight from the Office
>>96766684It might depend on your deck but people show up with obsolete modern decks to events at my LGS all the time and they manage to do well against current decks. If there's a format where older decks stand a decent chance at competing it's modern.

Hello, my fellow anons.Anyone have The Carnival: Adventure Setting and Witchlight Expansion?https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/381810/the-carnival-adventure-setting-and-witchlight-expansionThank you
A long shot, but if anyone could share any German RPG magazines Envoyer or Mephisto, it would be much appreciated.
Does anyone happen to have the Hackmaster 5e books?

Honestly I'm tired of muh eldritch cults and the lovecraftian mythos in horror. No one is genuinely scared or creeped out by them. People may gloat about how much of an intellectual idea cosmic horror is; being overwhelmed by the vastness of the universe and feeling powerless, blah blah blah.Satanic cabals, witch covens and pagan cults do give people the creeps. Voodoo dolls, human sacrifices, blood rituals, hidden groves with celtic ruins, secret societies, actual ghosts and demons instead of otherworldly beings who don't give a shit about mankind. Horns and blood scare people more than tentacles and ooze.
>>96765709>You all criticize the fedora atheists but playing a game with creepy demons is suddenly being a religious fanatic...Didn’t you say you were catholic? The entire premise of this thread is that you think demons are scary because you think they’re real.
>>96765709>Good luck playing thatThis applies to all horror.
>>96758959You reminded of a video from a Spanish-faggot YouTuber
>>96765709>What is scary about "not being at the top of the food chain" in space and hwo does that translate into gaming at the table? Witches, demons and pagan cults with minor deities are localized insidious threats as opposed to cosmic entities who most of the time mind their own business.Just because the deities of the Mythos don't care about humans doesn't mean humans can't run into them and be immensely harmed in their wake.Hell, one of the two starter scenarios the Call of Cthulhu rulebook gives you directly involves a Great Old One, Gla'aki, who makes an appearance at the scenario's end point and can start swatting the player characters down like bugs. And, I mean, the original "The Call of Cthulhu" story itself ends with a chase scene as sailors flee an awakening Cthulhu lest he crush them to death or feast on them as his morning snack.A problem with a lot of pastiches of Lovecraft's works is that they're afraid to use the gods or involve them, which just isn't Lovecraftian. In the original works, the gods showed up or interacted with the characters all the time. They just largely didn't care, acting out their grander, more terrible functions, and the harm they cause is simply because they're too powerful and beyond us to want to be careful about us. A wayward flick of their wrist can destroy our entire civilization and they wouldn't notice.
>>96760097It's actually the opposite. The "-ard" suffix is used to denote lesser or debased forms of the root. To understand the true meaning of "wizard," imagine an Italian mobster in the 1950s calling a hapless simp a "wise guy" before fitting them with cement shoes and throwing them into the East Bay.
Let's have a positive terrain thread.Post pics of cool tables and pieces, share tips and tricks, discuss your latest projects.
>>96765311I see. I guess there are people who'd need this too. I don't often increase or decrease the sizes of my tables so that I'd have to change my boards' sizes too, so it was weird to me.
>>96765125Xps is durable enough that if you handle it with basic care it won't break. You can dent it with dice and minatures but you'd really have to drop some heavy dice or minatures on them to ruin a piece. Xps is the best option IMO it cuts easily with a knife, better with a hot knife cutter (but you'll need a vented room + face mask with filter to be safe. Everyone says its perfectly fine to breath in the fumes but I don't trust anyone on this)Non acidic glue (PVA or modge podge) and black paint+water is what I use to seal and prime my pink foam for painting. It creates a protective layer that will keep it safe in normal play situations. Water will react with the glue though so be careful with that.The terrain tutor on YouTube taught me alot when I was first getting into building. Just know your first few projects will look bad until you pick up the skills and techniques. Like everything practice makes perfect!
>>96765190Polystyrene foam, should be able to get it from your hardware store in the density and thickness appropriate to the bone size you want. >Draw out semicircle from outside top edge lengthwise. >draw out smaller semiciricle inside it, leaving space to cut>repeat for smaller and smaller ribs >cut out, cut 1/2 circles into 1/4s >sand to shape, base Some anons have used putty as the main part around wire, or as an easier way to get broken bone effects. Modge podge or other textures for bone vary.
>>96762352Maybe, but other than a pair of (not terribly good) tinsnips, I don't really have the tools for it.All in all, I think I just made it too big of a project, so I'm gonna step back from it for a bit.

I recently read through the 2e rules and classes after years of being away from RPGs (largely due to disgust with wotc/5e and that being the only option in my area). I had really high hopes because of what I had remembered reading about some classes like Investigator and their Devise A Strategy, or the Swashbuckler and its Panache/Bravado. I also liked the idea of the 3-action turns. But honestly, I really dislike most of what I've read directly and over the last several threads here.- Most classes have few class features, frontloaded in the first level or three and then basic stat boosts from then on.- MOST features/actions/spells boil down to conditional +1 or -1 buffs/debuffs. I know it's supposed to still be functional due to degrees of success but it still looks like most of them would usually be ineffectual and dull, so why bother casting or using those abilities if you could just hit someone for real damage instead?- MOST classes sound like they fail to deliver their class fantasy overall, whether due to being incompetent at their intended role or being a baffling mishmash of hyper-specific features that aren't coherent or thematic. Thaumaturge is a kinda neat idea but I just can't understand what it's supposed to be thematically other than its mechanics. I thought Exemplar would be like Hercules or the 4e Invoker, but they're all fixated on using artifacts they somehow make but only use up to one of at a time. It's lame. Oracle feels like a pale shadow of its 1e version I remember. Guardian is very coherent but seems utterly shoehorned into "guy with heavy armor who does nothing out of combat."- In the end, the only classes that actually seemed like they'd be interesting to me are Alchemist due to its freebie items throughout the day (but which I don't trust to function well now), Commander, Investigator (to some degree and only if the metanarrative stuff doesn't break the campaign/DM), Kineticist, and Swashbuckler.Am I right? Is it really this bad?
>>96766786>Is it really this bad?That's your opinion, man.What is your game history?
>Player whines about not having a major role in the story>He's playing a generic human fighterHow do you deal with players like this? I let already let him get drunk and pick fights when he visits taverns, what more do martial players want?

Haven't played in a while, did they finally make Aquilons ok or are they still a dead team beyond turn 2?
>>96766490You can take all models from the box now and don't need to pick 2 of 3 of the gunners
Has the Blooded team disappeared for good from the GW store? Or are they reboxing them (again)?
>>96766739They'll, probably be reboxed as traitor guard for 40k without the ogryn
>>96766149Yikes, shame about this team, especially with how happy I was with the paintjob. I don't care about power level beyond a certain extent, but every balance update has just neutered the fun parts of the team more and more. Now it'll feel like the dollarstore version of the team, with a priest that dropped out of primary school holding a lame sermon and using his ability, "shimmy some parts of the procession". I'll need to forget how it has felt to play them so far before I can enjoy them again, which will take a long time.Meanwhile canoptek got a little slap on the wrist and technically a buff to their biggest gun?>>96766347The bottom of the barrel has been raised, ever so slightly.
Anyone remember the WoW rpg?did you enjoy playing it?
>>96751212Which is both funny and sad because literally the same company did an Everquest adaptation a few years before that and actually made a real effort to make it feel like the source material instead of just putting 3E in a dollar store halloween costume.
I love how you have literal WoW ttrpg here and you will still have retards like >>96751673 calling 4e "tabletop wow" because they can't admit that 3e was the biggest jump in turning d&d into a videogame of any edition, but they grew up with it so they cant besmirch its good name
>>96764302I'm pretty sure they said that because of all of the people who likened 4.0 to being like an MMO. I know people were doing that online at the time, and I remember people saying it at my LGS.
>>96764372Yeah, and 3.0 was rightfully shat on for being tabletop diablo but the retards that grew up with it were quick to bury that, weren't they
>>96763934>Also, Night Elves associate with the Tauren when it comes to druidic matters.Ironic, since tauren druidic matters are a result of the mmo mechanics. They had to give druids to a Horde race to even it out.

Trench Crusade General - /trench/Let's Make A Warband Generator 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 notTC 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?All the files are free online, but are split between the website and the discord.

isnt the entire appeal of trench crusade to kitbash your gw minis for this game?
>>96766693Not the entire appeal of the game, but kitbashing (using any minis, not just gw ones) is a big part of it and actively encouraged by the devs.
>>96766693>isnt the entire appeal of trench crusade to kitbash your minis for this game?Not all, but it's a lot. It means that most armies will not resemble each other, and it's kinda a treat to see.

Should Space Marines be made more common? These mythical warriors of only 1 million or so total spread thin throughout the Imperium does NOT match up with what we actually see, which is the Astartes showing up in large numbers to even minor conflicts and dying in large numbers as well.
>>96765589>let me point to this badly written literature No
>>96746799The route I would take is reduce their lore capabilities to get closer to the tabletop feeling, and increase chapter numbers to allow more narrative room for losses. A supersoldier rather than a demigod, and 10,000+ a chapter so 10-50 deaths isn't a remarkable loss.
>>96752015Even though the Marines' ground performance gets propagandized to hell, their real strength is the fact they are a combined arms space force which is somewhat of a rarity in the IOM: that chapter of 50 supersoldiers has access to multiple battle barges comparable to a battleship in ability plus supporting craft.They're mascots to their space navies, which are the actual muscle in their offensive ability.
>>96759691>but there's only about 1 space marine for every planet the Imperium hasand that is more than enough.
>>96757536According to one of the old necron codices, there are millions of tomb worlds. Multiple times as many tomb worlds as there are worlds claimed by the Imperium. Every other faction out there is a complete and utter joke next to necrons.

>>96765904what do you mean forward? there's no direction I want the players to go.

>>96766412I imagine it's having the players actually pick a direction to begin with. Obviously you don't want to interfere with the players' decision making process, but there does come a point where caution and preparation becomes indecision and fear of commitment, and a proper GM knows when to signal the players they need to do something if they aren't actively trying to suss out more information to make a better decision.
