Surprisingly, I have never had that happen. However, the bottles with ball bearings in them often have a detachable nozzle (presumably to get the bearing into them), and if paint has dried in the nozzle and you squeeze too hard... - you can guess what happens next. :P

I've only tried quickgen of all the contrast brands so I can't make many comparisons but I can say they have a smell that persists in a wet palette until you fully wash it out, even if no paint gets in the water and the paper was changed. It's really odd. Slightly blackcurranty..Supposedly have the longest working time of all the brands.

Turns out I don't like how contrast looks so I'm going to struggle to get much use out of them. White Shadow has worked to cover up some fuck ups painting whites. Night Black looks like cheap ink has spilled.

You absolutely can and most RPGs are intentionally very easy to learn, but I feel like it's more of a bug than a feature that D&D neglects effectively teaching how RPGs actually work because veteran players will probably handhold them through it anyways, so why waste the pages teaching anything?
>>
>>96480938
But they already waste a shit ton of pages! 300 pages is an absolute waste. WHFRPG is more or less as long and it includes setting lore, narrative health effects, crit tables, hit location, way more variety of shit you might want to buy at some point, classes. 5e's PHB is an absolute scam.

And probably in the way of wasting more paper the end result is that new players think they must be missing stuff because it's a huge book and it couldn't be as easy as rolling 1d20, adding what the class pages say and comparing it to a target number.
>>
>>96480938
You're massively overestimating people, veterans have to handhold them through it; reading is a gigantically difficult task for most people.

They should just pirate them. While its nice to have them, pirate first, then if you like it enough, then you can spend money.
And the game will function perfectly fine with the PHB, DMG, and MM 1, but its a whole lot more fun with the rest of them.
>>
>>96479004
In addition to >>96479087's counter-argument, the issues with Essentials in the broader 4e context were two years into the run and was clearly defined as a separate product line (which could have resulted in a new BECMI/Advanced division if the new managers didn't promptly bury previously-advertised 4e products), versus the issues of accreting bespoke rules can be seen in the damned core rulebooks for OD&D and earliest issues of Dragon dedicating page-space to basic operational advice to cover for the books' lack of overarching structure.
>>
>>96477923
PHB1 & 2
DMG 1. Maybe 2.
Rule's Compendium
Monster Manual 3 and Monster Vault.
Adventurer's Vault 1

Past this it's up to your own personal desires to fill in specific things otherwise. Though you got the online database and offline character builder to fill things in too. There's also picrel, which makes running older monster content like MM1 and 2 easier to wing.

Don't listen tot he hate, Anon. 4e is probably one of the more fun editions out there, despite the small list of actual warts. Just understand that it does set piece encounters better than random encounters and you and your table should have a fine time.
>>
>>96480556
Dogshit advice. Mm1 has literally broken math. Use monster vault and the conversion card for monster manual 3. The math for skill checks are also broken in this shitty fucking system. That being said I’ve never player an edition with combat as enjoyable for players and the DM. It works super well for dungeon crawls but not for the kind of wishy washy 1 encounter a day bullshit 5e sometimes devolves into.

Ragtag squad edition

>What this thread is for:
/tg/ gets shit done again and is creating a “Battle Bible” (Ala 2nd edition) for 4th edition Warhammer 40k.
>What this thread isn’t for:
Alternative ideas for what 4th edition could include, such as alternating activations, new unit ports, etc. This is a Stage 4 process and so there's plenty of time for that later on.
Don't engage edition warriors, trolls and rule revisionists. We're trying to keep it tight; mannered and objective focused.

BATTLE PLAN:
Stage 1:Finish revising and formatting the SRD.
Stage 2:Compile all GW official erratas into the SRD.
Stage 3: Condense all the codices into up to date SRD. - pending
Stage 4: Make a Hobby Enthusiast supplement for the SRD.
Stage 4: Make an Optional Rules supplement for the SRD.

>However, due to how the rules were written in 5th, this opened the door for rules lawyers to exploit the system. By following the letter of the law rather than the spirit, they could make units far more durable than intended. It was never meant to work that way, but some players couldn’t resist bending the rules to gain an advantage.
How though? I understand not putting wounds on your best dude, but that doesn't really make things more durable, right?

>>96480371
Normally you'd assign wounds to one model until it was dead then move on to the next model and do the same. If they had different gear loadouts though you could spread wounds around, so units like Ork Nobs where every model had multiple wounds and could take a unique loadout were a nightmare to deal with.

You know these buildings have playable interiors and removable roots, and most awg and historic games have special rules for buildings, how fighting in/out of buildings affect combat, LoS, etc. and seeing these pics, compared to all the Warhammer terrain hate threads that keep spamming the board... It got me thinking.

Why does Warhammer NEVER have playable buildings, troops never enter buildings, and indeed correct me if I'm wrong, but Warhammer 40k doesn't even have rules for buildings and going inside. Why is that? I have NEVER seen a warhammer 40k table or terrain with playable buildings or interiors? BEST case scenario is some guys can stand on the roof, but even that is extremely rare.

Actually that's not your only choice at all. You can choose to be the spectre at the feast, haunting your local stores and clubs with your existing collection of books and armies for superior older systems, constantly trying to lure away the less retarded of disaffected modern GW players - with persistance you'll make progress eventually. Unlike your solution of chucking a tantrum and storming off, this also has the benefit of really annoying the terminal GW cultists.

It took me almost six months, but I managed to poach almost everyone from the Nucromunda league being run at a local club by a GW staffer(he's completely open about the fact that he only bothers to attend so he can run groups for Current Thing and try to steer them towards his store). 80% of his players are now in my NCE league and the rest abandoned ship and went back to playing Bolt Action, I lived off his hilariously obvious seething for a solid month it was great.

You're halfway there, eventually you'll get that "don't let GW tell you what to do" means you also don't have to let them take away the editions you do like.

I wanna play a mercenary fighter who's really jaded about stuff like honour and chivarly but nontheless has some solid moral backbone just on the account of all the evil shit he had to see during wars and whatnot.
He deserted from one of the noble armies after he was forced to set ablaze the food stocks of a village just so that the enemy couldn't capture it, effectively sentencing a lot of innocent people to death.

Hates knights, seeks to have agency and power over self so that he can have full control over the morals of his actions., Simple as.

OP here, sorry for disappearing, am back. Was busy with work on some competition. Thanks for all the interest!

>Elemental is an online 1v1 card game where players build their decks and take turns playing cards from them. Their decks start weak, but they can improve them by buying better cards or removing weak ones. Each player also has some mana (used to play cards), gold (used to buy cards) and HP (if it reaches 0, the player loses). Some cards give gold, deal damage or restore HP, while others provide various forms of utility, shielding or buffs. Seven elemental dice determine the strengths of various cards: Chance, Fire, Earth, Water, Nature, Gold and Magic. They are rolled at the start and stay as they are. However, some cards can change the values of these dice, thus changing how strong other cards are.

>Elemental scaling is Elemental's core unique mechanic that sets it apart from other games in the genre.

>Many cards' descriptions have an element symbol instead of a number, e.g. "Deal Fire damage to your opponent". This means that the amount of damage dealt is equal to the current value of the Fire die. We say that this card scales with Fire. Note that the die is not rerolled when playing such a card.

>This mechanic makes dice control (using cards that can change the values of the dice) crucial, as doing this can drastically change the strengths of other cards. One player might have a deck that is on paper 2x stronger, but if all dice it scales with are 2s, while all of the dice the opponent's deck scales with are 7s, the opponent is still stronger.

Did some more work on the AI opponent since a lot of people seem to be playing against it.
