Anon made me think about it and yeah aos alarielle is a terribly written character. Should have just kept Isha, just like they literally kept Kurnous.

>>97280277roger that, ive been trying to get one of my buddies interested in tabletop since hes a gunpla guy so painting and modeling is already a hobby for himbut ive never touched aos before and after looking into it a bit spearhead sounds like the best option for attempting to get other people into tabletop, and it seems less fucked up then playing 40k, which ive never really had fun playing even if i like the setting more
>>97278676Just started with dark oath, some axe throwers or a Beastmaster unit like the spawn of Chotek would be cool I guess.
>>97278676>Cities: something between Steelhelms and Command Corps, and a human Priest that isn't a named character>Slaanesh: more generic Wizards, maybe? They seem pretty okay, but more daemons would be cool I guess>Ogors: refresh NOW (but don't overdo it please, I like how they are overall)

>>97237475The Polio Eagles
>>97252364I bet you've read less than 30% of that, and it's just a feelgood shrine functionally indistinguishable from some other fag's wall of Funko Pops.
>>97262250>>97263078You two are examples of a new type of subhuman that is arguably even worse than an AI-user -- that is, drooling Dunning-Kruger thoughtzombies who so reflexively go, "THAT'S AI!!" to everything that they end up constantly denying reality.I hope the AI shitter comes back with more pictures to drive the final nails through your idiot wrists, but he seemed no less braindead than you two so I can't count on him even knowing he's in a fight he can win.
>>97281241This is a tactile hobby, ai has no place here, especially in a subsection of the hobby devoted to appreciating the pre-digital era of it. You seem the sort of person who would let a far more destructive element into your hobby simply to spite someone you might disagree with. This is not a case of take the good with the bad, it's a case or rejecting an utterly incompatible element & mindset that will dilute pollute and diminish the hobby we love if it is not checked immediately and vigorously.
>>97281597See, none of that alters the fact that you(?) or the other guy got so mad that you could no longer tell a real conversion from AI slop. Of what use is any of your reasoning, preferences, etc. when we have all just watched you fail to perceive the real world accurately?I hate AI and would make it illegal if it were up to me. I do not kneejerk accuse anything I don't like of being AI, though.
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>>97234966Yes, we're easily the best players
>>97234966Only ones I've run games for have been consistently>overbearing about their character build even in games that don't have character builds to the point of just declaring their dnd generic race existed in the game world >didn't understand the rules very well if at all >direct to murder hobo more than anyone else, ready to perceive slight at anything irl or in game>constant references to irl media They're just what we would previously have called spergs. Tabletop games have always had them, they just have a more leveragable social excuse currently.
>>97234966I have one player in an online game I'm convinced is trans (or at least deep into the identity BS) and they're, like, fine. They pay the 2nd most attention despite being on call during the game and the fact they want to fuck everyone means they actually engage with the NPCs on some level. The bard player in my high school game that trooned out was an annoying loudmouth and only got louder after they trooned, as in literally yelling shit at the top of his lungs at random. I do not really miss playing with him at all.
>Female Characterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8G4xrYfWmw
>>97234859I absolutely do not believe you have a wife, faggot. Nobody who wastes their time here has any female important in their lives, let alone married.
Why are wolves so common in TTRPGs as enemies?
I miss the "FAT DOG WIVES" anon.
>>97276248>every animal ever that lives in groups and hunts for foodTo be fair, that doesn’t apply to a staggering amount of monsters and real-life animals – most either don’t hunt (bovids, elephant-likes) or don’t live in groups (big cats save for lions, snakes, birds, and the hundreds of monsters based on those three). So at least we can use them to introduce some tactics different from the typical ‘group of idiots’ and ‘single giant monster’ animal encounters.
>>97277132Look closer
>>97269845Bounties on wolves were relatively common in medieval times because they would prey on sheep. That's why there are no wolves in Britain

Post your favourite Warhammer Terrain kek
>>97272480are aquarium stuff allowed to be used in that kind of game?
>>97281462Scatter terrain is not on any of the official tournament approved layouts, so no.
Do Blood Angels serve as scouts before or after being put in the cuck coffin?Both?
has anyone got the image that has the riptides modelled lying down in the background?
>>97281152Pic is what a bit of glue, a handful of bird sand, five or six different paints, couple of model grass and roughly one day (and most of it was paint/glue drying) can make out of an unpainted plastic bunker. (Bolt Action, not 40k, but still).I won't say that this is a masterwork, not even particularly good, but it does its thing. Everyone can at least give his terrain some colors.

>>97275738Jeffery Clefton, now sixteen, was considered a veteran and expert by virtue of having survived two encounters with the Backrooms and having found a means to locate ways into and out of unrealities. Having knowledge of sorcery helped a lot."So what's the report on this case?" he asked the man beside him, a heavily build man with scarred chocolate skin, fresh off a honorable discharge from the Marines."Kid went missing in a waterpark." answered Trevor, checking an ar-15. "Went into one of the tunnels on the lazy river, never came back out. Security cameras were posted at both ends, and they already checked to see if he was taken out of the park.""And they don't think it's just a kidnapping... why?" Jeffery asked."Older guy went missing a few months back. They didn't panic too much because initially they thought he just left of his own free will. Then his family started looking for him- last place he was seen was going into the same tunnel."Jeffery frowned. It could be a coincidence, a false alarm. But rarely did the Backroom Survivors Group organize something like this unless there was a major consensus on an unreality being involved."There's been an uptick in unexplained disappearances lately." noted Samantha, a former Navy sailor in the front passenger seat. "Those parents and the abusive teacher, multiple kids... this feels less like your usual accidental entry."Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97175289Lold reading this
>>97275922They arrived at the waterpark around midnight, yellow tape and wire gates impeding their progress. "Wild Waves" had been shut down while an investigation proceeded, the owners unwilling to risk further lawsuits until things were resolved.Kyle, a former felon who's first encounter with unrealities had happened while breaking into a mall at night, handily dealt with the chains and padlocks barring their way. Breaking and entering was a necessity for what they did, but it still made Jeffery uneasy every time they had to resort to such measures.As he wove sorcery to deceive the security cameras, Jeffery couldn't help but look around nervously for any witnesses. Being caught with heavy weaponry in a place you weren't supposed to be wasn't something he wanted to explain to a judge... or his parents, who thought he was on a trip with friends. But it hadn't been long ago that he had been a victim, scared and desperate, managing to escape only by sheer virtue of luck.Brightly colored inner tubes and closed concession stands greeted them as they made their way through the entrance, closing the gate behind them so it didn't immediately look like there had been an intrusion. Waterways and pools normally churned by turbines and an endless parade of customers now were starkly still, reflecting the scant moonlight coming through the clouds.Eventually they reached where the lazy river entered the tunnel. He brought up his phone, the faithful discontinued map application that had proven to be an effective navigation tool. Not fifty feet in was a glitchy distortion on the map- there was an entrance, but what it would look like or how it would behave, he couldn't be sure.(Continuing later.)

Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?
Magic should be cool
I like when magic IS rare, and magicians usually only get few to several spells, or magic objects, pacts, etc, so as to make them unique in their backgrounds.
>>97264376As always, this is posturing storyfag/armchair designer nonsense that doesn't work with real continuous gameplay.
>>97237174Have finding black cats "curse" your PC and salt repel evil spirits. >>97247843There's overlap. Lodoss was directly d&d. Early games like Wizardry or FFI were still attempts to convert tabletop to a machine. They have Goblins/Mimics because d&d had it.

>>97281292it already had full protection to everything in its other versions, but obviously died to dedigivolve and dp reductionnow it dies to battle as it loses its battle protection but gains actual immunityits like the least egregious possible usage of it
>>97281079>>97281157Build it how you want, but if you want advice, Yuji is bad and taunting is game winning.
>>97281476It's technically vulnerable to battle but with Assembly it should be able to stack multiple BT21 Tsumemons for a massive DP boost.
>>97281222Shit it's immune to source stripping from Ken and Davis
>>97281494im bad at the game. id dont understand how yuji is bad, and for taunting, id rather run more laplace's demon

I’ve always said: “Atlantis wasn’t then, it’s now.”
>>97279516>Their "magic" is Art, delivered from MANY OF ITS HUMAN LIMITATIONS>And its object is Art not Power, sub-creation not domination and tyrannous re-forming of creationWhich are traits shown in the technological machinery used by Saruman and Sauron, though I guess in the end their stuff does have a mystical basis since they're basically angels with an intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the universe, like the Watchers from the book of Enoch and such>>97277637>No. He has said machinery is kin to magic.Only in its results, not in its means.I can agree that the results magic provide can be seen as just science with way less steps and effort, but thinking that science and magic are the same as in >>97274288 is just an idiotic and way too simplistic way to look at the matteraaaand that's it for me, this thread was derailed way too long ago and the OPs topic was resolved like 100 posts ago. New year resolutions and that stuff>>97280281>’ve always said: “Atlantis wasn’t then, it’s now.”ok
>>97280508>though I guess in the end their stuff does have a mystical basisThey don’t. They’re just machines.
>>97280508>>97280508I think the point is that the elves are magical the same way the 21st century is magical.
>>97280508>but thinking that science and magic are the same as in is just an idiotic and way too simplistic way to look at the matterAre you saying Tolkien is an idiot? Listen, this isn’t an oversimplification, it’s you making it more complicated than necessary. Nature is nature is nature. What’s not to fucking understand?
The DMG refers to eight different types of players. Was it correct?
>>97281043That assumes some effort is made to correctly interpret the data, and im not seeing a latent class analysis. Besides, this categorization is at best descriptive of broad trends in the data, and its not information we can actually useI propose that players are interested in the game, and their interests will be specific to prefered facets of the game. The likely classes are>interested/disintrested in exploiting mechanics>interested/disinterested in character drama>interested/disinterested in social intrigue>interested/disinterested in the setting>interested/disinterested in combat>interested/disinterested in chaos>interested/disinterested in puzzles>contemplative/impulsive playstyle
>>97281180Sadly, to my knowledge, nobody else tried. They come up with Grand Unifying Theories and worked backwards from that.
>>97280550They aren't discrete. One of my players is equal parts Actor/Storyteller/Thinker/Instigator.
>>97280550No. In fact I'm not even saying it's too broad or abstract or whatnot, it's just inaccurate and even harmful to new GMs. As the chad GM in >>97281176 screencap points out, you shouldn't even fucking consider "Watchers" and "Slayers" human and prep for them if you value your time and sanity.
>>97280550>>97281176These categories don't describe players. They describe tools GMs can try to use to engage players, by treating those players in a particular manner.Have you used these? Were they successful for you? If yes to both, then they're accurate insofar as they're helpful to you. If you haven't, then you're just trying to pigeon hole everyone but yourself in a way that's inaccurate and pointless because people are drastically more complex than that. They don't describe people at all. They describe how you can try to interact with other people, if you need some help with such a basic function.

If you told me a few years ago that I'd be primarily using fucking Army Painter warpaints I would've called you a retard. Genuinely what a gargantuan upgrade from the old crap, can't recommend it enough
>>97277514thinner
>>97277739
>>97277498It is amazing how ArmyPainter improved.For the longest time it was known mostly for it's good washes.
I used Army Painter for who knows how many years now and they were always hit and miss (I liked their whites and blacks more than GW's for example) except the washes which I still use and which are good as another anon said. Maybe they're better now or maybe it's all your run-of-the-mill viral marketing, I'm not gonna buy more either way because I found our lord and savior Vallejo.
>>97277498While their new paints are a massive upgrade, they are still very cheaply made. Low pigments + opacifiers means a lot of colors can't be thinned properly and mix oddly. Good starter paints, especially compared to GW, but crushed by AK, Pro Acryl and Vallejo in quality. Their price should be lower. In the end though, finding the best paints for (you) from every brand is the best as no paint company does everything perfectly (yet).
