AoS is a higher power level setting than 40K
>>97809054The Chaos Gods in Fantasy/AoS are far more powerful than they are in 40k, because they don't NEED mortals to exist.The CGs in 40k are explicitly created by mortal emotion and belief, the CGs in Fantasy existed far before mortals did, and emotion and worship only empowers them, but isn't a prerequisite for their continued existence
>>97809054>And no, I don't believe that Eldar god of death could defeat her. That's just propaganda to get people to worship him as the main deity.slaany copium
>>97790965not that anon but years ago I had a sister's army and I painted them all black with white hair the sister superior looked like pic related and my buddy gave me the cigar off his model and i used green stuff to attach it to her mouth
>>97817432related it looked like shit and I lost my army when I went into the military and my mom threw my old stuff away or sold it thinking I didn't need it or want it anymore have not bought from GW since getting out in 2019 and haven't played since joining in 2014
>>97790672Fpbp>>97790631I hate to break it to you, but Emperor himself alone would wipe the floor with Fagash.The Emperor, a fucking human psyker of all things, has been stalemating FOUR fucking chaos gods at once for 10 000 years and preventing them from destroying 1 planet.If Emperor wasn't stuck on the Throne he could just think about it, not even move his hand, and Nagash gets turned into fucking dust.
So, now you need to decide. Do you close your eyes to what you've seen and go back to sleep? Or do you come with this psycho burnout and do the impossible against the unbelievable and keep the future at bay for another day? What's it going to be? In or out?Yeah?

I'm kinda annoyed the Generic version of Delta Green (Cthulhu Eternal) still doesn't have rules for moving and attacking.
>>97817411Huh, I didn't realize that that's what Cthulhu Eternal was.
>>97817411>>97817431I’m not seeing anything tying Cthulhu Eternal to Delta Green. And, in any case, wouldn’t generic Delta Green be Basic Roleplaying?
I have found most systems for armor and defense unsatisfying.I find pure damage negation doesn't represent that armor doesn't just reflect but also reduces a lot of damage too, a hammer to the helmet won't just plink off its going to have some significant concussive effect, if less than against an unhelmeted head. But on the other end, armor as pure static damage reduction often doesn't illustrate the other end, that many attacks SHOULD simply be negated, a knife thrown at a breastplate won't just deal less damage, it will ping off harmlessly.And Barbarians of Lemuria, Specifically the Mythic version, I believe addresses both those concerns for me.This is done by a. health and damage being kept rather conservative and relatively equal, not becoming exponential as levels go up and b. armor being a die you roll for damage reduction rather than a static number. The range of damage that armor protects just so happens to align with the damage most weapons can do. damage being 1-6 + strength and armor protecting 0-5 damage. meaning that a low roll on most attacks and a high roll on most armor saves will have the armor totally negate attacks, while a high attack roll and a low armor roll will totally bypass armor, and a medium attack roll and a medium armor roll will deal reduced damage.This is all modified by the fact that 2 handed weapons you roll 2d6 and pick the highest damage, medium weapons you roll straight 1d6 and light weapons you roll 2d6 pick the lowest. And armor ranged from light reducing d6-3 damage (0-3 damage), medium reducing d6-2 damage (0-4 damage), and heavy reducing d6-1 damage (0-5 damage). This means a dagger has the potential to deal as much damage as a great axe if situation permits (like dagger to the eye slit), but is less likely too, and that light armor could fully protect you from a glancing blow like heavy armor, but is also less likely too.
>>97817261And it all happens fairly quickly:>Roll to see if you hit>roll your damage>opponent rolls for armor, deal difference as damageNot that I think the system as a whole is the best or anything. I think 4 base attributes is limiting and I liked to have a number of default skills as a basis for out of combat actions instead of only using careers.I just find its armor/damage system in particular really elegent.
GURPS
>>97817299Only if you use the low-tech edged weapons variant rule, otherwise is fucking shit.
>>97817261As with all my favorite TTRPG mechanics, my favorite armor mechanic is one I had to bash together myself.>armor weight is decided when making a character, each piece among the four features (head, pair of arms, body, pair of legs) don't have to be the same>armor weight determines "durability modifier", base 0.10/0.25/0.63 for unarmored/light/heavy; further character options may increase this modifier>the feature's final strength + vitality is modified (gasp) by the durability modifier to determine the durability points of the feature>durability acts somewhat like "temporary hit points", but the type of armor and certain passive skills can reduce or even ignore damage in some cases>unarmored won't protect the feature from a critical hit (but durability won't be reduced, so you can heal the injury and still have armor)>light armor protects from critical hits, but is instantly broken>heavy armor protects from all damage, and only multiplies critical hit damage>unfortunately, heavier armor reduces that feature's reflex rating, which is important for resolving reactions, and reduces any "repeat chance" of skills used by that featureI feel this is a way to differentiate not just armor weight, but also armor types, and incentivizes building characters in different ways.I enjoy games which offer diverse character options and play styles, not ones that have one or two correct choices or those you have to beg a DM to be effective.
>>97817261prowlers and paragons
>mimimi, humans don't have their own feature, mimimi, we have to invent somethingNecromancy right here. When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire? That's right, they practically don't exist because other races are simply inferior when it comes to necromancy and those non-human undead are so pathetic that everyone forgets about their existence in 5 minutes . Except for that one orc, but even he understood that he was worthless and therefore got himself a human body to finally become a full-fledged lich. So yes, here is your feature humans - necromancy, you know that I am right, you can't run away from the truth forever.
>>97817405So again, we can't have a memorable undead character without human.
>>97817414you've yet to post a single example of a memorable human necromancer
>>97817418Nagash wasn't human? What a twist, does GW know about it?
>>97816513Who are you talking to?
>>97817435Nagash is irrelevant, no one knows about him

>>97817372I understand not liking the spells but gonna be real playing a death army and not abusing as much casting as possible feels criminal but I also think the concept of endless spells are neat. Plopping out a big physical magic effect is neat.But Ush is great, he really brings the whole army together and also is a murder machine. I'm still hoping and praying we get a Skaventide esque ghoul thingy for the next launch box. 40 crypts, 3 horrors/flayers (just arm swap), Morbheg rider could be the mounted hero every starter box has, maybe give us some new courtiers as well. IMAGINE ANON.
I was looking at Ushoran’s sprue and it would be incredibly easy for someone to change his mace out for a 3d printed Moonlight Greatsword if you sculpt it from the cross guard up and slice his mace at the point in pic related.
>>97817412look at the size of his handsthe handle of his greatsword must be bigger than that
>>97817412That'd have to be a pretty big blade because as >>97817421 pointed out he he holds the mace up fairly high. The moonlight greatsword has a pretty long hilt, but still.
>>97817421Then you could just slice off the mace head and file down that middle segment to make 2 hand-sized segments of grip.

Played a game of late medieval ADLG the other day. While things initially looked good for the English, as my right flank poured mass longbow fire into the advancing German pikes and quickly drove off their Crossbow-armed skirmishers, I made the big mistake of slogging my heavy infantry up the table after a potential enemy formation (in ambush under the token on the top left). This turned out to be a ruse, with the formation of Heavy Knights actually deploying off my right flank and rolling through my army in short order.>>97781231Looking good anon!

Gearhead thread but for /tg/Part of why I like to play ttrpg's is the analog aspect. I prefer to keep all digital things out of the experience. No laptops, ipads, phones at the table. Well, an exception can be made for googling something quick, but other than that, keep that shit in your pocket.I like to do my gm prep, world building, drawing maps, in notebooks. npc and character sheets etc.on paper.I really like MUJI stationery. Their notebooks are really nice, and their pens and pencils are amazing.I recently found some hex paper notebooks on amazon. That was really nice to use to draw some hex maps.Do you have any neat stationery or other analog "gear" that you really like? Could you share some of your cool items or showcase your note taking system or maps or whatever?
Sadly a lot of zoomies are digital only these days, but I did find a way to make only a minor concession from my point of view that will quickly weed out the worthwhile ones from the terminally techbrained: I have a large format tablet that has nothing on it but whatever books are required for the game at hand, a PDF/epub reader, a calculator, and a notepad app and on which I've physically disabled wifi and bluetooth. If they have specific things they want put on it for a session they must submit them in advance for vetting and I'll load them on manually using a USB hookup.Otherwise all tech is banned, all phones are left in the hall outside and people are instructed to have everyone but their spouse or emergency contact silenced. If they're actually there to play and aren't using "but I onwy own the books as PDFs...uwu" as an excuse to keep hold of their Attention Vampire during gametime, they will agree to my terms. If not then they're not worth gaming with anyway.
>>97809050Got my eternal pencils today.
>>97809050100% agree that everything digital is a huge distraction when playing. Prep should be rules handouts, quick reference sheets, most common and important game processes, character sheets obviously, maybe a picture or two to establish the setting, maybe some maps if I'm feeling fancy. Notes just need to be a few supporting words for each thing so I don't forget the most important details. Then a notebook and pen+eraser to take note during play. I think it's really important to lower expectations on "production value" of games. Seems like people think GM:ing is setting up a one-man movie production for the players and thus will never even try doing it.
>>97817215>eternal pencil>one isn't enough
>>97817358It is for the players.
I'll start>D&D 5E is a heroic fantasy game (I didn't say good), trying to do anything else should have you using a different system.

>>97817188Probably for the same reason they decided to stop using shroud : most casual players are retard so when a card asked them to sacrifce a creature they were confused.
>>97817199Seems unnecessary>>97817213Shroud is obviously intended as a defensive keyword so I can understand how some people might intuitively assume that it only applies to opponent's spell and abilities. With sacrifice though I have never seen anyone be confused with how it works. I think the word "sacrifice" already does a good job at implying that the controller is the one that chooses.
>>97817188their body their choice chuds
>>97817213This makes as much sense as wotc needing to clarify discard as "discards a card of their choice"; you dont have to bat for them this hard they're just being retarded
>>97817403Well that one actually does sometimes make sense, there's often a mix of cards that let you choose along with cards that let the opponent choose.
