>What is this?
/TG/ DEVELOPED A GAME
IT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.
EXPEDITION is a ~1880s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape.
It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.

3 versions of the rules exist, 2 of which have been playtested. The main one is 2e, to be found :
>https://www.mediafire.com/folder/us7vnek39dc6k/AgarthaRules
as with maps, tokens and lore resources.

Would it surprise if I said that I'm not done catching up and I only came here today because I sensed an opportunity to make a shitpost of a lifetime?
I don't have issues with the Atlantis writeup, at least, though I'd maybe prefer the Titking to be younger. Then again, maybe the reason he doesn't take of his armor is because he's into some sort of half-golemized state and this doesn't age normally.

>Would it surprise if I said that I'm not done catching up and I only came here today because I sensed an opportunity to make a shitpost of a lifetime?
I'm going to be reeling from this for a while so congratulations. In a strange twist of fate, a friend of mine in the services tried to trick me that he was being sent to Iran an hour ago, but I called him on it immediately because of you preempting his bit. Twice in one day, Christ.

>I don't have issues with the Atlantis writeup, at least, though I'd maybe prefer the Titking to be younger.
It's largely a question of how fast the reconquests happen, and if we want the Atlantean revolution to postdate Surface contact or not. In the current writeup he gets 30 years to build up and expand. Shorter times are possible but might get odd in places. I'll give it a touchup tomorrow based around this and the earlier comments.

Honestly, that's fair. And if he plans to lead his nation through the coming apocalypse, perhaps artificially prolonging his life is something that he'd try to do, so him physically fusing to his Titanium armor goes kinda hard.

I hope this meme template sticks around. I find it amusing.
>>97820773
I'm in favor of a longer lived Titking, and him crystalizing into his suit. There's precedent for it, even on the chart, with the Wall Mystics, and we've always played a little fast a loose with characters ages.

For me, one of the easy fixes would be to make maneuvers a default class feature.
Though my personal favourite approach is 13th age 1e.
Each maneuver has a trigger based on a natural D20 roll and it applies as a rider after the roll.

Star Wars has literally always been 40k-tier in terms of its timeline, assuming we take Obi-wan's quote from the original movie seriously.

>>
>>97820616
It's changed constantly. In each draft of the OG script it flipped from 100,000 years to 1,000 years to 1,000 generations to 10,000 years and so on.

I guess one way to reconcile it is the Republic itself is only a thousand years or so old, but the Jedi have been around for thousands of years longer.

I identify myself as the guy who correctly stated that the artwork came from the 1994 monstrous compendium, not the 1995 card game and your takeaway from that is I inserted myself into an argument between other people? How stupid do you have to be to reach that conclusion?

As stupid as trying to prove the artwork comes from a 1995 card game not a 1994 book by pointing to a 1998 date on a version posted anonymously and calling that a "logical argument".

Pic related says Wizards of the Coast despite it being published by TSR in 1994 three years before WOTC bought TSR. It's amazing how companies update notices over time isn't it.

Depends entirely on the mechanism. If a spell specifies the size increase/decrease effects like Enlarge/Reduce does, use those because specific trumps general.

For the things that change your size but don't specify the stat changes it's an open question if you use the rules as if you'd take the size increase rules from a monster gaining Hitdice, or you'd gain nothing at all. (I'd probably give the natural armor increases at least to partly offset the size penalty to general and touch AC

Path of the Doomed is the one with the suicide bombers and yeah that's the one. The biggest reason I'm losing a lot of guys is that I fucked up at gang creation and only bought one champion. On the second week or so both of them got critically injured and neither of them could take eachother to the doctor, so I lost my entire leadership in one game. Honestly I just feel like I've been getting super unlucky with the lasting injury table results.

And on downtime I bought two champions. The very next game, one got memdeath'd and the other got captured and I didn't want to fight the same guy again; let's just say I had 23 tactics cards for that game. Just recently I got an 11 for picking the missions and got to choose, so I just decided to run fucking Ghast Harvest with my opponent and voluntarily bottle when he got close. Spent the 260 creds on another champion who got memdeath'd this last game.

It's necromunda but with vehicle rule (forced too, game had to start with orks on vehicles), and modeling for advantage: Orks are on thin, oval bases like the one on green army men. So you can stack as many of them on a truck, but it they fell off they took damage.

If you guys are playing relatively RAW, it is pointless. The transitions in the succession campaign are very poorly balanced (what a shock!) and moving from Cinderak to Temenos you guys should all just reset gangs, or at the very least do something like rehiring gang members ar 1250+400c. Despite your outlier scenario Cinderak isn't deadly enough to warrant the 2000c starting lists, and any new gangs joining in Temenos start with 1000+400. The gang rating and even crew differences will be in the 1000s for just standard gangs, not even considering new joinees or your situation, or the characters randomly joining up. The move from Temenos to Jardlan is much smoother as those are both 1000+400, but even then if you play RAW any continuing gang will just be radically higher rating compared to a starting gang.
Why a continuing gang also gets 250c on top of everything else when joining into the next campaign is beyond comprehension.

Hes not, because metagaming means the higher level of a game where you strategize against the other players, not the system.

Knowing all the stats is just gaming with a wiki. Its only metagaming when you load up on radiant damage because you know you're playing COS and expect a tonne of undead that wouldnt otherwise be common enemies - your strategy is strong because of the other strategies in play, not the inherent balance of the game
Thats why its called the metagame

Serious question: What value do slaves actually have to your average PC? Like, I've never seen any PC / group actively engage in slavery because there never seems to be any substantial reward worth the effort.
It's like crafting or running a business, there's just no *point* in engaging with the mechanics because the rewards are puny.
How could you make it actually appealing to players? It's not like they can load up a ship and sail off to the ivory coast.

>What would a giant want great quantities of slaves for?
Same thing humans would want halfling slaves for. They're good for both farming, domestic servitude, and industry. Sure, each human is individually weaker than the giant they serve, but that's always been the case for slavery, a Spartan hoplite was stronger than his helot slaves but he wasn't going to till the fields.

Ultimately, slavery isn't about putting everyone in the role their physique is most suited for. It's about the strongest people realizing they can get weaker people to do the work they don't want to do themselves.
