Moloch's Fun Park 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 not
TC 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?

Why the official books are so thin in lore and art?
>>
>>97195717
There is only one official book and 50% of it is lore, I don't know how you could expect more.
>>
>>97196351
NTA. Its easy to forget that, since its lore that we already know. With some changes. I kind of expected lot of new stuff, which there is in the book, but lot of stuff I've already read.

Isnt white wolf more "Count number of successes" on x # of dice rather than "Get above an x" dropping the highest/lowest of x number of dice? I personally find that "number of successes" style to feel a good deal different.
>>
>>97195308
tbf "conquistador" style isnt just for the conquistadores. It was also largely the style of the dominant spanish tercios in the old world during the 1500s/1600s in spain's more general golden age of military dominance on the continent. Maybe focusing it on pikes that stick things in melee, shot for more offence, and a focus on the cult of Mary.

On the topic of new ideas, I would love a catholic faction werewolf, maybe drawing inspiration from saint christopher, Rathmus's diologue on the possibilty to convert "dog headed men" or the Italian rural minor heterodoxy in the late middle ages who believed they turned into astral wolves at night to fight off the forces of the devil.
We got the rad werewolves for hell, I would like some rad powerwolf fanatics units for the christians too.

Trying to get some meat on my sci fi setting. You come in and ask a question, and I'll answer it as best as I can, or make an answer.

The Nations of the galaxy have achieved a level of technology that is divine. No natural process or fundamental law is beyond man's reach. Stars are playthings, megastructures are mass produced, causality, probability, and many other things are manipulated. Neo Babylon, the capital of the Sublime Defense Federation, is hosted entirely in the first man-made dimension. Each Nation’s grasp over their respective populace is ironclad in absolute belief, each a bastion of total unity in the name of their cause. The final regimes of history will rule until the end of all.

To quell its own members, the Federation both deploys its own warmachines and Painkillers, superhuman martial artists known as Tenfold Warriors that have come under the Federation's banner. Their surgical strikes keep the galaxy from tearing itself apart or the very universe from being altered by transcendent technology.

The Federation, unfortunately, exists for a reason beyond its own members. For even if the Federation's Nations warred among themselves with less constant frequency, the Entity would still exist. The overwhelming tide of sapient biomass that fills the universe completely and encircles this only known bastion of space, the Milky Way. For this purpose, the Federation has created Golems; machines only Tenfold Warriors are able to pilot without dying from the extreme stresses on the body piloting one demands.

Also time travel. It 100% exists under the rules you have described.
Can someone become temporally immortal by killing themselves at a set point? Can you rewrite history? Can I bring a caveman here and watch him smash stuff?
>>
>>97185718
Probably a decent amount? There's not going to be much use in making it though since you'd A, been seen doing that, and B you'd get folded by a Warrior Automaton before you even realize its coming to stop you once you try doing anything with it. Plus loyalty to their Nation is so ingrained in people the thought of doing something like that to harm their own country would be absurd
The Entity fills the universe completely. People have checked.
>>97185740
Yes, but its very limited in duration and availability. The Chronoclasts are the only ones to really specialize in it, and while they have gadgets that can rewind your death(provided you prime it before hand), and other similar things but they can't affect much at once. If a Nation could back in any reasonable capacity, they 100% would have gone to the beginning of the universe to completely rewrite reality.

Only if you lack pattern recognition capability, which is a basic facet of human intellect.

>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.
>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.

Fantasy anime, or medieval fantasy anime?

Because, fantasy anime lets me technically grab a wide bag of stuff like Kino's Journey or Aria or The Twelve Kingdoms or Seirei No Moribito or Brave Story or Tower of Druaga, while European medieval fantasy limits me down to things like Berserk, The Beast Player Erin, Claymore, Guin Saga, and I'm gonna incude Vinland Saga because of Thorkell.

just figure out what part of a hobby makes you happiest. If it's building and painting, then definitely don't waste $300-400 every 3 years on worthless book churn from GW's 3 year cycle of intentionally shit rules and DLCs.

Also, if hobbying, collecting and painting is your jam. Recasts and 3d printing are the two ways to make it cost 10-25% as much as GW while scratching 100% of the same dopamine itch. I was able to get recast primarchs as cheap as $27 that GW wants $150 for. I've purchased both actual the actual FW resin and the china resin and it's all the GW ones I regret.

I've gotten kits from GW for $140 and made a tiny mistake in order of assembling them and fucked it all up, I wouldn't have been mad at all if it had been a $30 identical clone from china. (Like my $30 rogal dorn had his eagle backpack flair fly 30 feet away and get lost forever, I just shrug and say no biggie)

Feels like about a third of what I've read so far could be LLM slop, they're so narratively incoherent or pointless as games, like summaries of short stories or situations in the layout of a DG scenario.

Also a shitload of just obviously incomplete scenarios, even incomplete ideas.
>>
>>97193017
That seems pretty standard for organic slop too tbf, scenarios that are just spooky cutscenes or failed short stories that the PCs are supposed to just hang around in.
>>
>>97193101
Ais certainly have crappy rpg modules as part of their dataset.
>>
>>97193101
I'm pretty sure that at least some of them are not organic slop, they are too complete and polished, yet contentless.

I think The Black Madonna is one, it is super polished and nice looking, but just rambling bollocks that would take a good amount of chewing apart and rebuilding to make it actually work.

Favorite protagonist trope: "Lawful stupid". Naively believes in "good over evil" and chivalry and happy endings. Naively believes people genuinely act in good faith. Suffers from this naive belief and falls from grace before realizing that the ultimate rebellion is that there isn't some overwhelming guiding force that will preserve the common good, but that it is up to them to do so and the process will be messy.

Best evil trope: Mongolians. Violence is just part of life. Strong things kill weak things. Nature is pitiless and so am I. I don't hate you, but I do have a divine mandate to control and conquer you from my god. If you submit as my tributary you're spared and treated well. If you don't, your population will be exterminated. It's not personal. It's necessary.

Not just you. I built a deck and played locals for a month or two because there was a good amount of hype in my community, but the game's just not interesting. The lack of card draw and persistent damage mean you can never swing except in the most optimal situations, so every match feels like a grind. Didn't help that there was a guy in our group who basically treated the game like a side hustle: trying to win every prize card he could to flip them online and was constantly talking about how much money the game made him.
