Most of the decks play by themselves. Vast majority of top decks, even. Starter Deck Duel, for example, demand vastly more skill than practically all top decks right now on standard ladder. Chess or even Bridge are much higher iq games. I can play mtg while tired or in low mental prep just fine, at the same time I'll be loosing a ton of rating playing chess. It's not a dumb game, though, there is a level of skill involved. You need to predict, and even remember certain things, more so in draft than in constructed environment. But constructed demands more in terms of deck building, though that also depends on the approach. People just copying decks are doing nothing for themselves. By far the most iq comes from constructing decks. That part isn't easy, at the same time, it's not giving as much reward as it's maybe warranted, with somewhat rigged draws, matchup and what not.

>he seems like agood individual sometimes with clear and honest intentions, sometimes he is a tyrant and some others he commits idiotic mistakes
Have you ever heard the phrase "die a hero or live long enough to become the villain"? The Emperor rose to power during the darkest time humanity had ever seen, not the "Dark" Age of Technology but the Age of Strife, with a vision to unite all of humanity and bring about a new golden age to surpass mankind's past achievements. This future would require a profound belligerence not only because there were tyrannically evil forces out there but because even virtuous democracies would need to be subjugated or even destroyed. There was neither the time nor the resources to play the diplomacy game with every world. Allow them to capitulate, crush them if they do not, and move on.

The Emperor was not a perfect person. He had flaws, he was very old and sometimes even cruel. In his mind his actions were justified but after millennia of watching human behavior your worldview is naturally going to skew away from naïve young people that think everyone can live in harmony if we believe real hard in it. Not only that but he is an entity with a dual nature: He can see your aura, read your mind, and rip your soul from your body at a glance. A man of such age and power can not and will not ever adhere to the moral or philosophical standards of a normal human being. Doubly so because he has seen humanity fall from near apotheosis to a sorry bunch of squabbling rabble that eat, fuck, and kill eachother not necessarily in that order.

Don't overthink his retardation. He's making a joke out of contempt for WoTC's version of baby yoda. Due to their long production times though by the time we got Loot people were already sick of baby Yoda. Shows just how quickly Disney shit out slop that in the time they'd taken to finish the set Disney had already fucked up the only decent star wars show they had. And frankly Mandalorian was just a generic western but because it wasn't woke DEI filled slop it was amazing in comparison. They have of course remedied that and emasculated any trace of masculinity out of the show. Fuck Disney, fuck WoTC, fuck the woke mind virus, FUCK THIS WHOLE FUCKING CLOWN WORLD SHIT!!!!!

Not me, since I'm not a chud. If there was ever a CHUD rpg I'd be making fun of it too. I guess there's ACKS but I do make fun of it whenever anyone posts it. And the pic-related in the OP is an RPG-adjacent product that looks ridiculous just like FATAL, and thus deserves mockery.

But it sure is interesting that you admit you are just here to fight the culture war.

Fuck yeah I still have my GW book on scratch building terrain. Even today it's still valid. Must be 20 years old now.

There was an article in a recent White Dwarf about building your own terrain though so they're not entirely lost.

>>97842106
Given that the table on the left is being used for a historical wargame, (Flames of War, by the looks of it.) this comparison doesn't work. I look at the map and think about how I would attack across that river and I don't think "This is bullshit!" I think: "Okay, the open field across the river, the one that's to the right of the bridge as you leave said bridge needs to be smoked off to prevent the defenders from taking potshots at my guys as they advance, and so does that building and copse of trees on the left side of the bridge as you would come off said bridge."

Then I think about how to approach the town and my thoughts go something like: "Creeping barrage through the town with any artillery assets I have, with tank cannons and machine guns being fired upon the nearest strongpoints (buildings, mostly) while my infantry and armored vehicles advance into the town, with the moving teams being supported by men and vehicles hanging back to shoot at anything that starts any shit.". Whereas the 40k table on the right simply doesn't inspire the same sort of thoughts in my mind.

GW hating Kitbashing is a good thing. Stop cheating. 40k is a highly competitive game, and you buying offbrand things and 3d printing them gives you an unfair advantage over people who don't!
By all means, make your own dudes. But put them on my table on your own peril!

>>97869777

Is this supposed to be funny or what? What sort of emotional response were you aiming at, OP?

Who are you quoting?

>>97863912
1:1 doesn't solve this. It just pisses off your players who do show up each weak by artificially limiting their play time.

Just play a fucking West Marches game if you can't be bothered to kick flakey players. That way your people who are present actually get stronger since they get to play the same characters each week instead of locking themselves out.

>>97860627
1:1 timekeeping still doesn't make any sense, even if you try to engineer a situation where a session ends and the GM wants so many days to pass between then and the start of the next session so they can say enough time has passed to allow something to be resolved. It takes time for wounds to heal in every game and you know what the GM can just do? Say that some time has passed.

It doesn't work at all otherwise, because you're not actually actively simulating an entire world. It takes time to travel across a city. Are the players supposed to sit and do nothing while an appropriate amount of travel time passes? If you start every session in the evening, are you supposed to have your characters be sitting down for a meal and then going to sleep a couple hours into a session? And then what? They stand still and do nothing for the next 7 days before the next session picks up a week later and it's evening again inside the 1:1 timekept game world?

The reason this shit gets called retarded nogames bullshit and people get mocked for it is because it falls apart with even a passing understanding of how playing TTRPGs actually works.

Thanks for the explanation. So it’s less of them being shit and more of them not being busted?

>>97868071
yeah, they're fine at low tv/short leagues. I doubt you would even notice they got nerfed in a short league. it's mostly just seethe over the fact they finally got nerfed after being the best team in the prior ruleset and they are worse for NAF and perpetual match making, but perpetual matchmaking is ASS and only weirdos play NAF and you can just fucking rebalance NAF with different rules packs. like the fags who bitch about NAF nerfs are the same fags who only ever bring the top teams for a specific format because they are the power gamer group and they're seething about necro being unplayable because most current NAF rules packets make necro tier 2 instead of tier 1. if you are playing a normal short for fun 6 week league the only nerf is that you can't mass guard on the long beards and the long beards lost tackle, but outside of amazons dodge is rarer since it's a 30k skill, you still have 2 tackle diving tackle players to counter elves and teams can't guard bully you since you have mass defensive and you still have 4 S access players plus the roller. I think a lot of the seethe is over the playstyle shift. Like Orcs got buffed but I'm kind of annoyed because I know they are better but they got playstyle shifted and are less faster dorfs with guard spam and are now closer to chaos renegades/undead with the MB spam instead of the four st4 guard spam I liked. but if I wanted to I could play nurgle who can do the guard spam thing with the sf nurgle warriors. I'm not sure who the new dorf playstyle dorfs are.
the other big issue is the random bash your toys together teams like OWA and underworld are just better than dorfs, humans and skaven due to the nerfs and retarded
>it needs to come in the starter box
rules for teams. Like OWA gets 3 long beards, a dorf blitzer, a troll slayer and human blitzer and buffed catcher so you still have 4 S access players (not including the roller) so they are better dorfs and humans

>>97868071
>>97868137
oh and I think this was a previous rules thing with the multiple rerolls per turn but they also buffed throw teammate one turns by not making it a throw action so teams like orcs with throw teammate and teams like OWA and Underworld who have a traditional chain block OTTD and a throw teammate OTTD are super strong if you want to actually win games and dorfs don't have either option but you can just take OWA, you get 5 dorfs (6 if you include the runner no one uses) and you have 2 somewhat reliable OTTD options and the human blitzer and catcher are fast and good and will help cover your mistakes and allow you to score way easier on offense with that MA8 compared to the dorf runner's MA6. there's also that retarded ass stalling rule
if you activate your ball carrier and can score without a roll, but don't and you don't hand off you lose 10k of winnings and roll a D6 and if the roll is higher than the turn the ball carrier gets hit by a rock at the end of his activation/turn

I looked at some Blood Bowl minis and that got me curious. Are the smaller games Blitz Bowl and Dungeon Bowl good points of entry? I won't play in a league or anything.

I also noticed there's footballs on the sprues, what do you use those for? Just base decoration or do they work as markers?

>>97869687
Blitz Bowl play more like Warhammer Underworld with ball, players died and infinitely respawn while you can also score by follow the objectives on the cards.

The balls on the sprue are use to mark which player is holding the ball. There are rule for the special balls for each team, not sure if new season still had these rules, but very few people use the special ball rule anyway.

depends on setting. However, as people have said on here. Unless you have a SMART player or a GM or friend willing to help the dumb player playing a smart player. It's not going to really work out.
