Getting away from game systems and pieces for a moment, how do you prevent a gamestore from becoming a free childcare service, while still remaining open and amicable with the public?

The case I go back to are the GW Battle Bunkers. The one in Memphis I was familiar with really sold me on the hobby, walking in and seeing 20+ full art, prepped tables and getting to observe games as a youngster was a wonderful experience, but the sheer amount of unattended children and teens was the given as the reason for the closing of the game room (outside of special events, though I believe they're just gone-gone now, correct me if I'm wrong). When I've returned to the Battle Bunker stores recently, they've been sterile, dark, empty, like you walked into a small town's only munition shop. I can't imagine this facilitating the sale of starter boxes or generating referral traffic, though obviously these larger distributor warehouses don't really care about direct sales too too much.

So that brings up your LGS. What staff training, procedures, and store policies can really protect a store from becoming an irresponsible parent drop off, while still protecting these entry-level childhood experiences that attach kids to these hobbies and these open, high quality gaming spaces to responsible players? I don't see many of these these days, they're either holes in the wall with one 4x4 table and two blanchard tables for Magic, or they're really low quality, wide open cheap strip mall joints with rows and rows of folding tables and no quality art pieces, terrain, or table builds. How could this be fixed adequately?

Not that I'm advocating for kids running amok in stores, but there's a real problem with fresh blood not coming into the hobby anymore. Some (reasonably) blame it on prices, but fewer kids being able/willing to spend time at stores within the wider wargaming community must have a part in it too

That's what you get for not having a local pedophile

Do you think the Imperium let the Guard have access to sex servitors like how old European navies let their sailors have sex dolls or Dutch Wives on their ships?

Is that too big a luxury for a shitty guardsman? Or is this exactly the "a bullet costs more than a human life" kind of scenario where a decraniated man or woman being a lovedoll is enough of a tiny morale boost that the Imperium rubbestamps the cost?

Why, though? If it's just a clone. Don't they just go "say, this one supermodel turned into a criminal and we made her a sex servitor and that was pretty alright. Let's just use her DNA for a bunch of them".

Not even adding to the argument of the thread, I'm just asking why cloning a specific attractive human would be any different than cloning a strong one in the vats?

Well, two points.
First in general, you'd have epigenetic and other growth factors.
The hows and whats of your growing process will have huge affects on your final product.

Second, the 40k universe has issues with direct cloning, resulting in duplicates that are cursed or somehow jinxed.

All the faggots still arguing for validity of mass produced lobotomized sex slaves, are faggots too stupid to just masturbate instead of whining about their fetish to people on internet. I'm being serious, this thread is just a waste of time, staring at a wall is more fulfilling experience than this.

But it's not a middle ground, you absolute tacticslet. If you have a choice between two approaches both of which will render your opponent's vehicle incapable of hurting you if they succeed, and one is FAR more likely to succeed, you're simply a retard if you choose the less likely option. It's too easy to dump a bunch of status effects on a vehicle and render it - functionally - just as useless as if you had blown it up. Maybe in a system that hadn't culled two of its six turns in order to free up time for a faggy little challenge minigame that was a solved problem before the game even officially launched it could have worked, but in 3.0's 4 turn progressive scoring approach being able to pretty reliably lock down opposing vehicles for several of those turns is ridiculous, especially in comparison with how resilient they are against attempts to actually blow them up with proper AT weapons.

Every word 3.0tards speak convinces me further that all the bleating and moaning about 2.0 was due to the fact you lot were all fed on a steady diet of lead paint and methylated spirits as children.

>>96911599

If there's a Techmarine or Magos around said vehicle then they will happily clear all the statuses up with very little effort. Supported vehicles need to actually be killed, or have their repairmen assassinated before you can status them down, so if you can just dump a bunch of hull points onto it it's a much more reliable way to go about things if they actually bring Battlesmith.

>>96909041

Also helps to make said big tank a transport because superheavies can take multiple units, so you can pile a bunch of guys in your Mastodon and jump them out individually. Good for when you want to skip jump packs on some of your characters, too.

Geist flat-out states that there are three pre-written win conditions for sin-eaters.
>Catharsis
The sin-eater resolves their own issues that keep them from moving beyond the underworld, as well as the issues of the geist that binds them to their body. Sin-eater and geist both give the underworld the finger and move on to the true afterlife together.
>Cabeiros
The sin-eater infuses their geist with the essence of the underworld and shatters any connection that their geist has to the world of the living. Their soul consumes that of the geist and they abandon their flesh to become a chthonic god and rule over the underworld.
>Catabasis
The krewe of sin-eaters enhances their esotery, their collective faith and ethos, to the point where they are able to descend into the darkest depths of the underworld and challenge the chthonic gods for the right to change the underworld into something better.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to TSR-era D&D, derived systems, and compatible content.

Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to early Dungeons & Dragons - less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching meta-plots and a greater emphasis on player agency.

If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about. We'll be happy to help you get started on this playstyle.

GURPS 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: What do you want there to be in the additional 27 pages of the new Basic Set?

Future History has a section about determining a society's TL through methods other than raw "what's the most advanced tech available," instead looking at things like rates of energy consumption, degree of urbanization, global per capita income, etc.

Anyway, by those methods, modern Earth lands at around TL5 overall, with certain areas (US, Japan, northern Europe, etc.) having High TL and higher Wealth as common traits, just as there are certain areas (rural inland China, parts of Africa, etc.) where Low TL and lower Wealth are common traits.

>2 ps5s have the same processing speed as a 2000 super computer
How does one properly represent technology being significantly more powerful, but somehow being able to do far less?
>>
>>96911675
Depends on what you mean by far less.
If you wanted to play 2025 CoD in 2000 you would have needed to get your hands on one of these super computers. Conversely, our current super computers can do shit the 2000s couldn't even dream of.
Current day gamedevs are certainly less skilled than 2000's cutting edge computer scientists, but the same is true today, and they're probably less skilled than 2000's gamedevs too.
Perhaps you could represent this by accomplishing things being easier, thus the tools' users' need to be less skilled. If this was a societal trend then advances in Tools could lead to stagnation in Skills, leading to relatively the same outcomes.

As much as people like to complain about how bad videogames are today I don't think we're there yet. Yes modern day videogames are bloated beyond belief, but they're also, as a whole, significantly better than 2000's vidya.

There's just not really a lot you can do with marines from both a worldbuilding, homebrewing and narrative standpoint and half of the few things you can do are just done better by the guard.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first decade, Gygaxian D&D, its more faithful modern clones, and content created specifically for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.

Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended and taught by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.

Que Retardado 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?
All the files are free online, but are split between the website and the discord. They have all been collected here for your convenience:

In Sedatives: Low-dose, non-addictive calmers (like fantasy-analogue chamomile or valerian) used to break the screaming nightmares or prevent a FREEZE response after a major trigger.

Controlled Pain/Release. If she drinks, it must be something strong, taken in very small, measured amounts—never enough to impair judgment, but enough to feel the burn. This mirrors her choice of self-inflicted pain.

Fermented Milk Drinks (Analogue Ayran/Kefir): Cultural Anchor/Childhood Comfort. A sharp, cold, cultured milk drink offers a faint, bittersweet connection to the stability of her early years. It is familiar, nourishing, and not decadent.
