I usually play a female character. If I play a male character it's usually because there's a guy with incel vibes in the group so he can't try to flirt with me using his character.

>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings,
Deadzone, Dragon Rampant, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander, Freebooter's Fate, Frostgrave, Gaslands, HeroClix,
Kings of War, Maelstrom's Edge, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Masters of the Universe: Battleground, Moonstone,
Oathmark, OnePageRules, Open Combat, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam, SAGA, StarCraft, Stargrave, Sludge, Urban War, Void,
Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenos Rampant, Xenotactics...
...and anything else that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread.

You should ALWAYS cheese every encounter. If you EVER end up in a situation that even remotely resembles a fair fight, just run away and wait until you can rig the situation to your favor.

Use your fucking brain. Even if it is highly improbable for you to lose a given fight, statistically speaking, you'll still eventually croak if you keep taking those bets. Don't leave it up to chance. It's easier than you might think, you just need to use your noggin. It's not a video game. You can do whatever the fuck you want.

Just the other night my party ran into a melee monster in a narrow ass room that they for some reason decided to ram their dicks into until someone died. When I suggested that we retreat for a bit and lure it into the room with the big ass statues so we can all just climb them and shoot it to death, they looked at me like I just escaped from the looney bin. They all died of course.

The early versions actually were infamously bad, which is why they were completely redone multiple times.

The latest version is pretty good as far as structure goes, but still misses some edge cases and is still confusing at times.

The game has similar art for the card in each suit used in each players' starter deck. It doesn't show up elsewhere in the game though. The non-starter cards are knickknacks instead of animals. Also, you can put your starter cards into your scoring area which, thematically, is merchandise you're selling.

I tend to use a lot of stuff from 80s and 90s comics and books in my games. Sure a lot of stuff from that era was campy as all hells but Star Wars needs a bit of cheese and camp from time to time in my opinion to break up the action.

Find out what other people are playing and hang around the LGS
Our 3.0 group is in large part a thing because the LGS owner made an effort to tell us that other locals were interested (the previous owner did not do that when I was trying to get a 1.0 or 2.0 community going)

Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?

If you're going to be obtuse, the point being made is that a lot of game masters tend to get wrapped up in their role as entertainers that they forget they're the ones with the ultimate ability to say no, and likewise players forget that despite being the ones who make the majority of the decisions it's the game masters are the ones who can veto literally any action made at the end of the day. Seriously, do you need to see a therapist if you get this upset over every anon online?

I guess I get psyched about starting a warband, and then look at them and it's all stuff like "Orcs actually want to just stand back and shoot" "Your leaders shouldn't be anywhere near combat" "Just give everyone a sling/mace (depending on army" "Don't arm anyone with a shield or armour" and it's like, well, what's the fucking point of anything if the only advice given is "Everything is sub optimal except X for this warband"

Mordheim is just a fucking dumb game that is propped up by nostalgiafags and 28 trannies. Let's hope GW remakes it as a grimdark answer to Trench Crusade but with good rules this time.
>>
>>97259001
>Let's hope GW remakes it [...] with good rules this time.
When has that ever happened?
>>
>>97258986
The point of games like Mordheim or Necromunda is that they're modeling project, with an immersive ruleset to bring those models you've made into action. The rules have a lot of references for immersion, but the gameplay and tactics are fairly simple. You can choose to skip the modelling aspect when starting but you wouldn't be sticking to these game for long without delving into it.

Why did GW make them chicken nuggets instead of just putting the crotch at the knee like real life exoskeletons?

The only problem as I said is making it a scout unit.
The original purpose still stands and is the usual end for the frames.
Making a towering machine with no armor at all is stupid, all the joints are simply exposed for fucks sake...

The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants. They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.

>>97258634
if i continue to fight invading soldiers, i will very quickly realize whether or not they act like trained soldiers with some discipline, or like some random people who never held a weapon before and dont know what formation is

Because if you happen to be invaded by legions of untrained farmers, chances are this wont be a long war for them

>>97258649
They are free to throw down their arms and surrender. Hell, I'll even send a messenger after the first few slaughters saying as much. If they literally shoot the messenger though... yeah no quarter.
>>
>>97259083
beside the obvious opportunity to surrender (as op said, we are slaugthering them), this scenario also assumes we never took prisoners and no battle ever had any surviving foes who could be questioned. So the big, shocking reveal naturally would have happened rather early in the war anyways.

I mostly play male characters, but last time I let the die decide and the 50/50 chance commanded me to play a girl.
While most of my male characters were mostly reasonable and collected, she was much more hotheaded and aggressive. This may have been a result of her backstory and class more than the sex, who knows.

Of course I have! It's fun to try and imagine yourself as all sorts of personalities and characters, across classes, ages, genders, species, and try and think on how they would act and react, given their personal history, abilities, and motivations.

I call it "roleplaying", it's kind of like acting. Not sure if anyone's heard of it before.
