We place objective markers before deployment map, yes. We just also place objectives where there's not going to be any instant-victories if the right deployment map is rolled (early on we had too many games end immediately because we place 2 objectives in immediate range of where a DZ ended up being, and only 1 in the other with another 1 in no man's land).

The center point of the objective can't be in the Deployment zone but the 3" area that you score within can. So yes, they are technically in no man's land but not in a meaningful way.

To me it sounds like you're not really playing against shooting lists? if land raiders are "far from guaranteed" from getting killed. I'm losing a Spartan and half or more of the cataphractii inside turn 1 any time I deploy it in view/get 1st turn and move it forward. I've lost a Spartan and Typhon in turn 1 before.

How do you envision him doing that? He was in a worse position. Even their own legions weren't 100% on board with their plans and required culling. A lot of rebellions were just local forces desiring independence or smaller warlords taking the opportunity to forge their own little empires, rather than being loyal to Horus. Him taking out the one thing that held the Imperium together was better. Considering the Emperor is both keeping Terra from becoming a daemon world and protecting humanity from becoming daemon spawns, taking Him out would've been way better for Chaos than a systematic war of conquest on all fronts. Without the Emperor and Terra, the Imperium would fracture and whatever empires rose to take its place would not be as unified.

With the increased amount of LOS blocking there's no way all the opponent's anti-tank get a chance to focus down a land raider. That and Smoke Screen now lasting the whole phase has ensured it's very hard to kill AV 14 vehicles turn one.

What kind of anti-tank are you facing? And are you deploying with as much units behind LOS blocking terrain as possible?

This is something I considered when picking the Kingdom of Khazad Dum army as my first. The most finicky bits are the bows but relative to spears on the other factions that’s nothing for transport.

I like the aesthetic of this. Very inspiring.

I was a little disappointed that it was mostly just slightly pixelated dark fantasy art. It doesn't really feel like an actual guidebook to a fake game because it never actually shows it's general gameplay or shows faux-screenshots or any sort of UI. It just feels like a second-person slideshow of events and sights with the word "might" or "could" thrown in here and there.

There's an entire chunk of people who just watched their friends play videogames. It struck me as someone who did that. They liked the ideas and pictures but didn't really care about or understand the game itself, so the parts they're making have a nostalgic feel without much connection to use. Its 3 or more steps removed from ttpg play and weirdly hollow as a result, but not in a detectable way to the maker or target audience.

Anons help me. I want to start watching Vanguard. Where do I start? I see there's a reboot of the original but with way fewer episodes.

>>97223846
the "Reboot" is of V-series Vanguard. It's more based on the Manga adaption of the series.

Classic is prolly where to start, with the first four or five eps being a good tutorial and all. Just mind the fact some of the facts are a BIT dated, such as the show-exclusive "Oracle Guardian, Hermes" (Which only shows up in a single episode and was never made to print)

Also some say that Classic tends to have the better story compared to it's counterpart in V-series (Which drastically shortens the story).

Also if you want to try your hands out with "Vintage" Vanguard, there is VGDD2, but mind the fact it's kindof expensive...

Partially related, I kinda wish we had more anime-style Alternate Art cards, like that version of Oracle Guardian, Gemini in that pic.

Unfortunately, it doesn't exactly expand on various clans in terms of gameplay. Hells, the only major time Bermuda Triangle and Neo Nectar show up is in a side tournament.

Now for Standard Vanguard (D-series)... OverDress is the start point. (There is at least a free demo of VGDD1 in case you want to try a smidge of standard)

>>97223846
You go to the vanguard youtube and watch any series you like

>>97223960
Season 1 of classic is on another channel... ...except for ep 50 fer some reason.

Kek, true
People who like Andor should just go watch any other generic cyberpunk shit. It isn't Star Wars. It lacks any of the charm and fantasy of Star Wars. And the fact that anyone pointing this out gets shitty Disneycuck spam about "muh realism, you need lightsabers" is so pathetic. As if there aren't other SW products that don't have Jedi and Sith and yet still feel like the actual franchise and not a hamfisted political thing
I mean just look at this. It made Coruscant look like an even commier version of NYC. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

Also don't play twilight cleric unless you want to really fuck with the balance

Brother 4e made more money than anything before it and every other rpg on the market during almost the entirety of its run.
The idea that it was unsuccessful and had to go is fucking fanfiction. They had to stop servicing it because it was taking away from 5e. Why do people do this? There's plenty to criticize about 4e, why lie about it's actual success?

Here's a sample adventure where there's an outbreak of Russet Mold at a refinery; PCs sneak in to steal formulas and product, see what happened to the first official cleanup team, then run into the second cleanup team on the way out; very Half-Life, with environmental storytelling, repeated use of encounter areas, and logistical hazards.

What I'm stumped on right now is Vampires. No one else has done anything vampire-y yet that I've seen, so it'd be novel content for the group. But I want to up the urban predator angle and do Blade vampires; I want that scene from Blade 1 where the PCs are at the in-universe-equivalent of an underground rave, then the blood sprinklers turn on. The problem is how to translate "techno rave" into gothic gaslamp fantasy, and I'm still lacking a proper premise/narrative.

Also, haven't put much thought into representing them mechanically; lean into the more-grounded Blade vampires, or the spookier Nosferatu shapeshifting-shadow-projecting-animal-controlling sort.

I just want people to be humming techno beats to themselves while they kill vampires in a basement.

>>97220164
>technobeats from the 2000s
>gothic gaslamp fantasy
Might be hard to achieve. Could do very elaborate punch fountains with clockwork mechanisms and statues that have blood coming out of them at various points and the statues are iron maidens with bloodbag sacrifices in them. The tricky part I think, is that gothic vampire stuff doesn't have high pace as any part of it really. The shift from very prim and proper high society party people to total savagery when exposed to bloodlust might work.
To keep the DCC oneshot hijinks you could start everyone at a masquerade ball, explore a bit, statues activate and its a reverse dungeon where the players have to get the fuck out as the revellers are in various states of failing their humanity rolls.

I was going less for high-society and more grunge/underground; the vampires LARP as punks. But yes, I am hitting up against clashing genre/period aesthetics.

If BT23 Rosemon is deleted with a When Attacking effect, plays itself back with Fortitude and then suspends itself, can it redirect the attack to itself or did it miss the "When one of your opponent's Digimon attacks" timing

>>97222036
Any effect that refers to attacking is specifically talking about attack declaration, if a card doesn't see the attack declaration it can't use "when x attacks" effects. Rosemon wouldn't be able to redirect the attack since the newly played one wouldn't have seen attack declaration.

Because your clone living on isn't the same as your consciousness continuing.

>>97223626
In addition to the continuity question >>97223655 poses which is quite difficult and generally costly to answer (which varies by edition, which is in-universe split between obtuse changes in how magic functions and versions of the spell), lichdom makes you a lot harder to put down in the first place, brings you back faster, for as many times as you can get away with for a single up-front cost, and actually "solves" aging fully.

>>97223626
IDK about 5e, but in many of the earlier editions your soul adheres to your racial lifespan. Spells can stretch your lifespan a limited amount, slowing ageing or giving you the statistically unlikely but theoretically possible best lifespan while keeping you younger than you look - like a wizard looking ~50 from the ages of 50 to 140, then dying.

But there was usually a limit in place that prevents you from attaining immortality while in possession of a mortal soul, which is why lichdom was appealing to some. You had to tap into some kind of necromantic bullshit to acquire eternal existence on the material plane, otherwise your soul would "wear out" and rejoin the cycle or whatnot.

Clone spells combined with spells that diverted your soul into them if you died unexpectedly were great for staying YOUNG and for avoiding surprise deaths, but they couldn't make you immortal, just long-lived, iirc.
