>>97829260Some groups are just like that, went to one last week and they had stuff like Cranium set up
>>97829260>Ask a shop if they had Hansa Teutonica big box>"Yeah, that's a lot heavier than what we usually carry"This place also stocks Vital Lacerda games so I have no clue what the fuck that even meant.
>>97828161it's a light game. not as elegant as knizias, but only a bit harder to teach. you go fast by matching a bunch of symbols together from up to three cards from your hand, plus one from a shared crowd card. there are a number of suits with abilities like cornering, healing, and attacking. whenever you take an action in a suit you advance its skill marker. depending on the crowd's whims you have opportunities to advance the skill marker double. once the skill markers start landing in the bonus zones, your speed when you take those moves gets much much stronger. it turns a game of simple hand optimization into constant tough value judgements of when to prioritize upgrades over your current position. there's not a ton of player interaction, but the mind games around when to shield from attacks and using whips to maximum effect based on position do enough for mevery timeless vibe and plenty thematic for my tastes
Is 7th continent actually a good game or overhyped bullshit?And are there any good exploration games at all?
>>978344017th Continent is massively overrated for sure, since it's a product of a time when these types of games didn't exist. 7th Citadel is a significant step forward on the core design, and the best exploration game I've played yet.

>>97831602As they say, great minds think alike. It just makes sense that if you're doing Raxus, you may as well say something about the Perlemian Trade Route. I personally decided to go with this sector as it fit my main theme of glamor and contradiction - Secundus is a beautiful, prestigious, noble planet, while Prime is a horrid junk heap that is very useful to the economy.>>97831497Yes, you are missing a couple of things. Din always takes the spear and the flamer. Meaning that his melee dice pool is either 2 red 3 black, or 2 red 1 black + however many minis the enemy has. The key here is that Din has tactical and his independent- the 2+ aims he always has mean that he usually hits all his dice AND the spear gives him the duellist keyword. That means that he can easily make his melee attacks have pierce 2(!) which is rare for bounty hunters. His 1 pip and 2 pip also also great for boosting his damage output and mobility. Boba's cards are weird in that most of them just give you a one time weapon.>>97833745You'd be surprised, Anon. I also play x-wing, and I know several grown ass men who adore the s*quels (with the exception of episode 9, not even they like that one)
>>97833849> with the exception of episode 9, not even they like that onePretty much agree (though episode 8 was, I’d argue, slightly more trash than 9) But I did kinda like Exegol (the location anyway) and the look of Sith Eternal stormtroopers.And the idea that bigger chunks of the DS2 might be found on other, less inhabited, moons of Endor wasn’t a horrible idea (the dagger thing was stupid) or the wayfinder stones feels like something force users of the past might concoct to keep their sacred sites secret.… basically there’s bits and pieces from the sequel trilogy that I’d like to cannibalize for my own Star Wars adventures, so long as I can completely disconnect them from the god-awful story and shittier elements.
>>97827927Literal retard take. Clonemasters using forbidden technology and kicking off a series of destructive wars is kino. Lucas's faggy "lol palpatine was the puppet master of both sides the whole time" is something a 12 year old would write and think was super edgy and cool. You're not a 12-year old are you anon? You have to be at least 13 to post here.
Test
>>97834064Even Lucas's ideas for the Clone Wars seem to have changed somewhere between the OT and prequels. In an earlier script of ESB, Lando was supposed to be a clone, and he mentions how there's not many clones around after the Clone Wars and implies that clones have a bad reputation because of the war, which would suggest that the original idea was that the war was against clones (which would also fit with it being called the Clone Wars: the PT conflict would make more sense to be called the Separatist War or the Droid Wars, since that's what the Republic was actually fighting against).

Pigheaded Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game. 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, and it's very Blanchitsu.>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/They used to be split between the website and the discord, but no more. For posterity's sake, the old mega will still be kept active even if it's unlikely to need updating: https://mega.nz/folder/70QH0BBa#Eg-blxYQKkY_C02wErnFTQ>third party sources for making trenchers:Comment too long.

>>97821296Not enough armor-piercing, total positive modifier death. I also don't fuck with Grail's durability mechanic. I think the game should just include templates instead of the weird blast/flamethrower rules, but that's less a critique and more of a personal opinion. They should maybe rework sultanate entirely too, they play like a lesser version of heretic legion.
>>97828867Played a game today, he failed it four turns in a row. I still won the game but man it felt like shit. I wish more actions were like the Sniper Priest's aim where they get bonus dice. I feel like it should be maybe +1 dice. +2 feels like a "why is this risky I will never fail" but +1 is "you probably should but there's still a chance it won't work."
>>97834028If your playing Sultanate like HL, you're doing it wrong. Heretics are about having a moderate number of well-equipped units who thrive on status effect and elemental negation. IS are about an asymmetric force of specialists with the cannon or the bull as an anchor for war band composition.

Imperial bros, am I on the right track with this? Please critique this list, and any cool tech to consider is appreciated
>>97834286I don't think UltimateBrachiomon and the new Titamon justify Dorimon's effect yet, so I'm still expecting some more Titans in this set to flesh that out into a slightly different flavor of Titans deck than last set.
>>97833242more like>we aren't changing it>but for the people who immediately have tournaments and might get fucked by this here is an extension so you can sort it outI think its silly that its official tokens only instead of stricter guidelines for tokens.But a lot of tokens are very unclear about the stat lines of the token, things like level and play cost are very often not written on a lot of fan tokens which makes it very annoying (be it they have them or directly are lacking them)if they put out a bunch more tokens and make them far more accessible then idc really, but as it stands its pretty shitty. and I say that despite having more than enough official tokens for all my decks and having gotten the nice foiled art ones for all the ones that have them that I play (diaboro, medusa, puppets, sakuya) and that this has 0 impact on me as I didn't buy fan tokens anyway.

>>97832624It'll be a mess and I'm curious to see what they'll do. I'm sure they'll make everything worse. Imagine the retcons...
>>97834100>surely associated with the Eater-of-SoulsIIRC in woof cosmology a vampire's Beast was actually a literal shard of the Beast-of-War. Eater-of-Souls kinda does make more sense tho.
>>97834280This is a bit of an asspull on my part, but I think that might just be projection. The Garou look at the frenzy of a vampire and see Rage, so they ignorantly believe it comes from the same place. A Wight is not just a font of endless violence but a cruel and dangerously keen predator. If it knew how to commit diablerie before wassail it will do so if possible.

>they didn't add alternate activation>again
>>97825122that isn't Gladius
>>97815788So let marines activate twice obviously. That becomes their niche
>>97826025there's no need for that. you want a tension between small elite reliable units and big awkward stupid ones.
>>97796373I think it is mandated as part of the 40k game's identity to not do alternate activation. Probably brand identity or something similar.I don't want to believe that this is GW being stubborn and/or incompetent with innovation.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128Comment too long.

>>97833703>I have the following green flags:>>AutisticAs an Autist I have never been more confused.
>>97820120might be a standard in ACKS since I haven't read it but the growth time seems too quick? a baby needs at least a couple of years to be a toddler and if we are waiting for an adult than at least 14-15 to allow for reproduction.anyway Human herding will likely be very niche since raiding for humans or demanding tribute from a local settlement or even just ruling a town with an iron fist would be easier. it might be a thing in the underdark or otherwise very desolate lands.
>>97833895>using cellular automata procedures that could be rolled out by hand on pen and paperIf you're happy with something that takes forever to do by hand and generates something that looks wrong, sure, it can be done.
>>97834247NTA. I have multiple acquaintances with actual diagnosed autism that I play boardgames with. Admittedly I've never played D&D with them, but I would: They're considerate, low-drama people who are genuinely passionate about games and are pretty easy to get along with. Occasionally you might need to tell them some things explicitly when they don't get non-verbal communication, which I generally have little difficulty with. That one thing is not always ideal, but there's MUCH worse out there.Of course not all people with autism are like that, particularly the highly politicised ones, but it sounds like the Anon you replied to has a similar experience to mine.
>>97833692Because it's still a working retroclone.Also, currently there are no detailed rules for handling troops movement, military campaigns and so on without the DM handwaving them.>>97833038>kobolds are roughly the size of children so we release the wardog Good choice, the wardgog is a must at lower levels, especially against kobolds, goblins, morlok and similar.>the dog is bought down by the elite koboldsWhen we started, we had 2 wardogs in our group (plus a summoned skeleton one by the necromancer).>>97833703>Talks politics at all>Related to the above, complains about this or that being bad or problematic, or conversely spergs out over someone being different than them>Phone at table>Being a dick to another playerYeah, kick him.

>>97834153Most people tend to forget that chaos armor is basically a mutaded armor. Warriors in Chaos Wastes mutate and their shit mutates with them, be it their armor or their horse. I mean, sure - some buy armor that already looks like a chaos armor, but is basically heavy armor. True chaos armor is armor that was twisted by energies of the warp. So - give enough time to a bretonnian knight on Chaos Wastes and he WILL look like a chaos warrior, even if he didn't buy anything from Karak Dum or chaos dwarfs (or just take from a fallen enemy).

Given that anime and anime inspired cartoon styles have become pretty much the norm or at least incredibly common in most other forms of indie entertainment (TTRPGs, videogames, comics, animation, even miniature wargames). How comes it remains a relatively rare style to find in board games, an industry that operates almost entirely in the form of independent creators and small studios? How comes it still carries associations of being an art-style of games "for kids"? It was so strange when pic related came out seeing people "warning" others that even tho "it looks like a game for kids, it's actually quite difficult and heavy".
>>97829069Oh, nothing. Enjoy your movie.
>>97829021>ask normie>get slop for normie>made Pikachu FaceWhat is wrong with you? Also, you're most likely a pretentious faggot who only pretends not to like normie slop. Here's a test for a connoisseur, depressive plot in an abstract wrapper, unfortunately the ending is shit because fucking Gainax can't make a normal ending even if their lives depend on it. Well, at least the episodic stories are good and complete.
>>97829118>my dick joke in the year of our lord and saviour 2026Kek anon, can't get mad at you.
>>97828297To be fair UNO and Monopoly are not what I'd call "hobbyist games". They're incredibly mainstream popular products that essentially exist in their own bubble and respond to completely different markets and pressures, Hasbro would never consider publishing something like Sweet Lands because it caters to a completely different demographic than their games. Easily re-skinnable hobbyist games would be things like, idk, Love Letter I guess, tho that's a pretty simple game and it has technically gotten its fair share of licensed re-skins, none based on anime AFAIK.
>>97826974>Given that anime and anime inspired cartoon styles have become pretty much the norm or at least incredibly common in most other forms of indie entertainmentI think one contributing factor to why this is so is because anime is just entertaining so naturally people want a slice of the anime pie to try and mimic it's aesthetics to get sales and support. But maybe one reason it isn't very common in board games is due to not wanting to be go with what is more popular and try to stand out as anime might be too mainstream now?Just guessing.

More like, Retardia!>Theros? More like, Lameos!
>>97825382>Basically a meta-setting that was literally intended to tie all the universes together. Therefore, not particularly unique in its own right, but neat concept.I like it as space fantasy. Not sci-fantasy, just straight fantasy in space, I don't see that enough
>>97826912That's true, I also enjoy the concept, it's very unique and very true to D&D's Sword and Sorcery roots; science fantasy is cool and I think proper science fantasy is kind of underrated still, but literal, outright "fantasy in space" is even less represented.
I've stopped playing D&D and am now a GURPSfag, but I have played some Forgotten Realms and Spelljammer in GURPS using GURPS Dungeon Fantasy (*not* Dungeon Fantasy RPG). Very fun stuff. Much more fun than in D&D to be honest. In any case, Mystara, Forgotten Realms, Spelljammer, Greyhawk, Dark Sun, Eberron, Planescape, Al-Qadim and Ravenloft are all varying degrees of kino in their own way. A good and passionate GM can run excellent games in any of them.The rest are trash.
