>>97391602>>97391635I really really hope TOW never undergoes what the 40k ITC went through. 40k has transformed measurably because of their catering to tourney fags. While I would like a balanced game, it’s more so for seeing variety on the table than caring about comp. I really hope TOW focuses more on flavor and crunch over comp faggotry. So far it seems specialist games has a different philosophy to the main studio, but it’s GW so it could change overnight for the better or worse.
>>97391602>A Hochland rifle, or a group of dedicated handgunenrs, ought to be able to shoot this thing out of the sky. I don't care about balance or any of that garbage, this being a thing just does not make sense except as some kind of support unit for artillery in the way Bony used.I can't believe that it doesn't have some kind of flammable rule. It's a fucking paper lantern with a stockpile of explosives.
>>97391761The Flammable rule in TOW is pretty shit. It just turns off that unit's regen when hit with a flaming weapon. Turning off Regen is what Flaming Weapons are supposed to do, Flammable is supposed to make things more susceptible to Flaming Attacks.But yes, the Cathay balloons are dumb, and should be limited to 1 per 1000 points.
>>97391761Well they made the unit super strong so people would buy the models and play them, please understand
>>97391761It’s not a zeppelin. There no flammable gas in the balloon just hot air. The paper could obviously just be treated with flame retardant chemicals from their alchemists. The balloon itself does need to be made way less durable though, I don’t think flammable is flavourful or significant enough to fix it. Or keep the same stats and increase its cost by 40-50%.
Necromancy 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 notTC 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:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>recent battleforce for admech was only $140 That seems petty cheap. I wonder why.
>>97391599First, it's not marines. Second, they really don't want people bugging out after the custard debacle.
>>97391599because there's fucking nothing in the box.It's one box of troops ($80) and one small vehicle ($50) sold for $140 which isnt even worth anywhere near 140.To make it a battleforce they'd have needed to add another unit or an actual tank.
>>97391599also the light vehicle is 100 points and the troops are probably 150 points total. So the worst points per dollar of any army. (not even 2 ppd)That's worse value than RESIN kits even. A random resin like Corswain ($60) for 220 points is 100% more value than the "battleforce" (3.7 instead of 1.8 ppd)
>>97391778>>97391765* oh, there's a generic trooper hero in the box I missed. That's the only benefit, I'd just get a recast of him for $9 from wartable.
Why is there so much whinging about 'No Games' on this board? I understand that those who come here solely with the intention of discussing tropes and the like can be frustrating to deal with, but there seem to be some folks here who make it their mission to drop bursts of negativity in threads they should've known would enrage them. And even in these threads that hold more general discussion, I don't see how nearly all of them are not at least tangentially related to traditional gaming.
>>97391485>at least tangentially related to traditional gaming.some people hate it unless you are directly discussing traditional games(and then some people will go ahead and ask "traditional games?" in threads about specific games anyway)
because its a small number, if not a single person, who makes thread after thread after thread after thread asking the most vague, hardly /tg/ relevant questions. Usually providing no further context or thoughts past a single sentence, if that, and often just repeated or rephrased from a thread already made. mods and janitors refuse to prune them, so the rest of the board have become irritated with them and the threads and no longer wish to even feign polite indifference.
>>97391485Why are you coming to a board that literally has games in its title if you don't want to talk about games?
>>97391485It's a more specific insult than "poser", since it directly implicates the poster as not just having a faulty surface level impression of the board subject but also as having no actual experience to speak of. Whether it's true or not is irrelevant, mind.
>>97391485>some folks here who make it their mission to drop bursts of negativity in threads they should've known would enrage themFrankly? Most of those threads shouldn't be here and they're right to drop said negativity there. Bumpfagging a thread that hasn't had a post in over a day with "Tell me more, anon" should also be bannable frankly, because it's obvious that it's not being done earnestly.

After playing both the original Shandalar and the 2016 update version I've come to the conclusion that magic was just more fun in 1995 when it was more loose and relaxed. The kinds of decks you go up against in the 2016 version are so much more ruthless about shutting down every play you make that the only way to compete is to be an even more obnoxious dickhead and make sure they never get a chance to do anything. Every victory was bitter and spiteful in a way that I never felt with the older simpler Magic cards.
>>97386473With mtg at least you have a database. and Oracle text is almost pseudocode. you could automate a lot of it.
>>97385089Power creep on cards isn't the problem, as other Anons have pointed out there have always been powerful cards and combos. There are cards that are banned in every format for being too powerful, and they tend to be incredibly old ones. A powerful card is negligible, on its own. There will always be other cards that completely wall it, or prevent it from being played in the first place. The problem is that it isn't just a powerful card thrown in to a deck full of janky rubbish, like it was in the old days, it's a carefully optimised and streamlined deck where every card is powerful, versatile, and synergistic. This problem doesn't even really have anything to do with how powerful the individual cards are, it's a result of vastly increased availability of information. As soon as a set releases, the community knows every card in it. The best minds in the community come up with the best decks, and then everyone else plays those decks. There's no room for an individual player to discover something original, or for a localised metagame to develop based on the cards you and your friends discovered in your limited amount of pack opening. The way we as gamers approach games of all kinds has fundamentally changed since those times, and the only way to properly recapture the feeling of early MtG would be to make a new game that couldn't be datamined or theorycrafted to oblivion.
>>97390978that's part of it, but it's also definitely massive power creep. a given amount of mana gets you about three times the creature now that it did in the old days.
>>97390561I can't imagine wotc is having interns manually program "do thing, draw card" 100 times every set. It'd be funny if someone made a simulator that's just like the rest except instead of an engine for the actual game it's a fancy wrapper for an LLM.
Honestly a lot of nostalgia for the old era of the game is dumb as shit. I certainly don't miss getting mauled to death by 'togs and dogs and then getting mauled to death by arcbound ravager and then getting mauled to death by jitte and then-For all of this game's flaws theyl period after this is when they learned a lot of lessons that I think genuinely made this game better- the Lorwyn/Time Spiral era of the game was much more enjoyable then anything that came before, with varied and interesting decks, all card types actually being viable instead of creatures being dogshit, the rules being polished and the miserable shit that made the game dull being toned down to a minimum. I genuinely don't know how anyone can feel nostalgia for shit like Stasis decks, for Owling Mine or Circular fucking Logic.

Played thiefdom tonight. It's a perfectly fine game by the Clans of Caledonia dude. Sneaking around, stealing and selling stuff trying not to get caught by the constables, it's pretty fun. Theme's cool, powers are great, scores are tight and it's pretty interactive.Yet we all ended up finding it somewhat meh. For one there was the time, it took like 2 3/4 hours where we expected it to be sub 2, but that's not enough of a reason to be down on it. I thought about it a little and then I realized something I'd consider a critical design flawThe game is much more fun if you play a more "from your gut" game and don't plan your turns out in the minutest detalils because mistakes make the game more interesting. At the same time, though, the game punishes mistakes somewhat harshly. So the game ends up in an unhappy middle ground where everyone analyzes a lot, but no thief ever gets caught. It's a somewhat unstatisfying affair; a big part of the game is the constant threat of the constables catching you, but in reality it plays more like a puzzle in how to inconvenience your opponents the most. It's a pity because the game is pretty well designed, but there are many games more fun to play if you are looking for the heads-down and puzzly experience. Thiefdom does want to be played a little quicker than would be safe, it wants to have a snappy gameflow. But when the penalty for making a mistake is high, players naturally put in energy to avoid a failstate, and thus you end up having an AP-prone longish game that lacks the statisfaction of a more heavy experience. I wonder what group this is for, some will surely love it.It's a bit heartbreaking, actually. The game had so much going for it, but I think I'll sell it.
>>97391626Or both. But you have to raise at least one of them (or try to call a lie).

How would you humanize enemy mooks even if the players have to put them down at the end of day? How do you make it so that players leaving piles of corpses in their wake is not a trivial matter?
>>97388896turns out I don't care about your forgiveness all that muchalso I didn't read the books in English
>>97384224If the focus of the game is cutting down mooks, humanizing them is counter-intuitive. >How do I eat nothing but cookies and ice cream, but never put on weight?You don't. There needs to be other steps involved, like exercising enough to offset the cookies and ice cream, which takes far more time and effort. You can't have players cutting down countless mooks and then shift even more focus to having them feel bad about each and every man they killed, because the effort required would far outweigh the time spent playing the game where you kill tons of mooks.
Really emphasise that one of the mooks only has 1 day left before retirement
