Are there any mech games where the mechs are a sideshow to other vehicles? I like the idea of blowing up mechs with superior conventional vehicles but basically every mech setting ever made exists to justify the opposite of that happening.
>>97194885An RAC/5 is nice but it's not exactly the end of the world for aircraft. From what I recall Hammer's has a practically muvluv-styled eradication of combat aircraft from direct laser fire, and it's a major factor of the setting so he can focus pretty much solely on ground combat. If they can't do that, suddenly aircraft are present again, and now you have all sorts of complications.>>97194878BA and mechs work together better than BA against mechs. Mechs carrying BA in particular is a pretty amazing combo and solves most of the others weaknesses. BA become insanely fast and reactive, the mechs now carry their own point defense and "delicate work" units.Mechs can be pretty easily configured for effective anti-BA work, especially if it's IS tech and not elementals which require a lot more work and better tech put into them.
>>97194974One mech with an active probe casually walking by at four times the speed of the fastest possible BA reveals all of them. It running by at six times their fastest possible speed reveals all of them and also gets behind hard cover.
>>97194992That sounds entirely outside of the scope of normal combat vehicles in BT, including the mechs. Naval grade weapons could delete aircraft in one shot, but you're only mounting those on warships and things that would qualify as an Ace Combat final boss. Things being anti-air specifically is down to special ammo or special quirks (often both), not special guns. You can swat aerospace fighters and conventional fighters out of the sky using normal units, but anything that could delete them wholesale is an Event, and probably the entire objective of whatever match you're playing.
>>97182984Yeah sure, because you know where the enemy mechs will be in 4 turns time. Or if you're using TAG good luck having your single spotter surviving that long.Actually scratch that, cgl are removing artillery and travel times in favour of battlefield support cards anyway, so just convert all of your spare bv into bsp and go wild I guess.
>>97194694>fictional hoverI mean Battletech has a lot of air-cushion Hover Craft, the infamous Savannah Master is such a craft using one of the smallest Fusion Engines every created.

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/.

>>97190110Are there any RPG's with a dice system like trench crusades? 2d6 + modifier dice dropping/adding the highest, getting 7+ is a really fun base mechanic. You get the feeling of something extreme with a handful of dice, but it doesn't get to the point where you are chucking annoying amounts.
>>97193675Old school White Wolf games are pretty close. Steve Jackson’s ‘In Nomine’ is a thematic match (PCs and NPCs are angels or demons incarnated on earth). It uses a 3d6 resolution mechanic in which triple 1’s show divine intervention (good for angelic players, bad for demonics) and triple 6’s involves satanic intervention (bad for angelics, good for demonics).Instead of classes your character is a member of a ‘choir’ of angels, with specific powers, devoted to a specific archangel, or a ‘band’ of demons whose powers are corrupted versions of angelic powers, and who are devoted to to a specific fallen angel.In terms of powers, for instance, Kyriotate angels don’t manifest physically but instead ‘possess’ people (usually in despair or on the point of self harm) but are obligated to leave their hosts better off than when the Kyriotate took them over.Their fallen counterparts are the Shedim, who prefer to take over nonhuman hosts such as swarms of insects or rats, and must leave them worse off. Fun system. On topic: just got done printing and curing the ‘church accessory’ sprues. Lots of greebles.
>>97191969Very nice. Don't forget you could always just paint satanic symbols on them, giving you more options than something hard-printed onto the mini.>>97182294Very cool mockup.>Does anyone know any good wedding dress and/or pregnant woman type mini's for other Nuns?Reaper has a metal Ghost Bride. They also have a few nun minis. Searching for 'dress' gets you a variety of dresses that you could use.
>>97193406I see what you’re going for but there are a lot of very powerful and synergising abilities in there. Good flavour but may need dialling back. Dogs should apply -1D to enemies only if 2 or more are in melee with a single target.Doctor lacks utility, better to have a generic ‘risky action to remove 1 infection or wound marker’, but give him an acid grenade (counts as Fire).
>>97190110>TQSo far I've played 7 games, 5 with Sultanate and 2 with Court and I prefer Court, seems more difficult but more rewarding.First Court game I got tabled because I didn't understand what I was supposed to be doing. Second game I turned on the blood factory, rolled hot and absolutely demolished my opponent. Sadly my Praetor rolled 11 on injury and died (RIP 241 ducats).Fluff-wise the allahu akbars are still my favorite, love me some homunculi, but they feel maybe a bit simple to play.
Why is it that so many fantasy writers make their evil cults unjoinable by anyone with a functioning brain cell? Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide? Why would you worship Tzeentch if he’s probably gonna screw YOU over as part of his grand plan?What makes it so bizarre to me is that, firstly, it’s not like they need to be so off-putting to be evil. Orcus is a demon of undeath, his followers want to turn their enemies into the undead. Tzeentch wants the world to be in a constant cycle of chaos, his followers are gonna be masterminding world wars.Secondly, it’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples of real-world evil cults. A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satan, but are fucked-up offshoots of Christianity. Historically, goetia was practiced by people who would’ve still called themselves Christians, while committing rituals to summon and get boons from demons. Plenty of human cultures used to sacrifice humans to their gods, not to summon them to kill everyone or some shit, but to honor and/or appease them.Like to use another example from Warhammer, I think Nurgle and Khorne present more “approachable” evil cults. Nurgle is toxic positivity, and his love will take all the pain away. Khorne is wrapped up in enough language about honor to lure people in.Like to rework an evil deity, let’s pick Lamashtu. Instead of “We love ugliness and miscarriages and also you get to die in childbirth”, the cult targets vulnerable young women and lures them in with divine feminine language (“You have the power to bear and raise great beasts”), while promising the young men of monstrous races frustrated living among humans that what they’re scorned for is what makes them powerful (and also they get to have sex with pretty girls).
>>97182525I thought it came about because a very messy, lazy and manipulative man wanted to justify his existence.

>>97182644>American "christianity"I saw this claim on South Park, you wanna elaborate on what you mean by it aside from not liking them?
This is why I like the Daedric Elder Scrolls pantheon more than the Warhammer chaos gods. They have more personality and individually while the chaos gods are too archetypal and generic. I guess the trope started with Howard with Stygian Set and Lovecraft and then expanded by Moorcock, that there are inhuman forces of entropy that defy understanding that mortals humanize with their own motivations and motives. However that perspective is still too rational for someone to even comprehend fully, the only rational thing is to then go insane like in most Lovecraft stories. I like the fact that the Daedra also can have positive qualities depending on your goals , its a much more polytheistic attitude that you would expect from someone who believes gods exist and affect the world. Mehrunes Dagon is the prince of destruction but also represents mortal ambition. Boethiah is the prince of treason, assassination, but also the overthrowing of authority. A worshipper in TES could oportunastically switch up on worshipping DnD cosmology is more egregious with this, considering people know that things like Demons, Devils and Hell exist, unlike in the Warhammer fantasy world. People who go for the pure evil cults like Cyric, Bane and Bhaal are just pure unapologetic sociopaths and even more organized cults like the Zhentarim barely hide it. I also remember some good fanfiction about Lotr and how would the rationalization of cult of shadow and Melkor/Sauronite religion look like, in that Sauron's agents would spread the lie that the world was basically an illusion and that there were many world like Arda and that reality would not be created if not for Melkors "dark element" (not contradicting Tolkien in this way): https://notionclubarchives.fandom.com/wiki/Mysteries_of_the_Shadow
>>97160877Modern day liberals would worship Lamashtu.
Besides Middle Earth, are there setting with a monotheistic God but has powerful deity like entities who may or not be worshiped?
>>97194753Shut the fuck up, you disgusting kike worshipper. There's nothing more disgusting than a religion that by default assumes your guilt and that you are a servant/slave to someone.
>>97183771jannylarp
>>97186607As far as Theism is concerned, Monotheism is the objectively the logical step after Polytheism.As a matter of logically speaking I don't think a god from a polytheistic pantheon can't even really be called by definition a god unless you change the definition of god. Just a very powerful entity with a domain.If you really think about it, an universe simply can't stay stable with multiple equaly powerful gods otherwise we'd end up in a Warhammer 40K situation (and that's if we're VERY LUCKY). So it makes sone to ultimately have one that god that is the real God. Even real life mythology had to cope with entities like Zeus, Odin and Perun otherwise reality would just collapse.
The example setting that comes with Basic Fantasy RPG has the monotheist Bethite faith and a lot of druidic and natural religions that worship deities that might or might not be just local spirits .There are two competing Bethite sects with very different doctrines and theologies, and I find it pretty funny that clerics of both of them still get get power from their God equally.
>>97194857Not him, but the shit you see in the mirror is infinitely more disgusting than Christianity, you pathetic spazz. Are you hindu or something?

>>97185928>TQYes. The party opted to take the "Iron Evangelists" cell directive.In character reasoning was that it was establishing an alternative identity for them, while allowing for a "re-affirmation" of their faith in the God-Emperor through preaching after they had been exposed to demons.OoC, the players wanted access to "Pure Faith" and Faith Talents in case of future run-ins with more demons. Even the player running the Blank, who couldn't get the talent, agreed to it in the interest of group cohesion and character development.

>>97193501There are actually several reasons for FW-hate. First and foremost is simple jealousy: poorfags who resented people able to afford cool resin toys and cool hardback campaign books while they were trying to scrounge up a basic army from car boot sale finds and ebay rescues. Then you have the dumb faggots who simply didn't want to learn or think about more stuff. On top of that, you have the delusional balancefags: people who had managed to meme themselves into believing 40K is Fair And Balanced and that all FW products are super OP(spoiler alert: nah). There's also the people who have this deranged aversion to resin and think you'll get gigacancer if you even pick up a resin miniature without full HAZMAT gear.But I suppose you could just boil it all down to >some people are fucking idiots

Pic unrelatedMy upcoming game has someone playing as a Dhampir who abstains from feeding on humans and tries to stay disguised as a human to everyone. I want to constantly throw temptations at this character such as>Oh no! I've been bitten by a venomous snake, you've got to suck the poison out!Any ideas?
You should go watch Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne trilogy, the movies deal with the topic of Dhampir protagonist and the hardships and internal conflicts she faces passing as a human.Don't mind the low rating, it came out shortly after Blade (Dhampir-centric high-octane action flick with quippy protagonist), and the audiences weren't ready for more serious, subdued and introspective take on the topic.
