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 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/. 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?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

Alright Anons, Saint Nicholas of Myra has been good and jolly this year. Did you do good enough deeds so god got you presents? Or were you sinful, getting naught but coal?Either what, let's see some cool stuff.

>>97242242yes I guess that's the sad reality. btw, wait until tomorrow when I tell the kid that he has to buy a bunch of paints and brushes for this shit, and the final result will be nothing like the pictures on the box. for a casual consumer, the box is complete false marketing
Genuine question, do BFG players actually like the old sculpts? Even back in the 2000s (roughly the time period between 4th and 5th of 40K) and I went into shops and saw the BFG blister packs, I thought the imperial ship models looked like metal lumps of shit, and they haven't changed much since then.
>>97242386I never got into BFG because neither imperial not chaos ships appealed to me. Too big, too gribbly, looked bad if done quickly by drybrushing, and painting them nicely would take too long for models I didn't like anyway. The one faction I liked the look of (Eldar) was unavailable locally at the time. Plus IIRC at that time I was still seething about them axing MoWNow that there are various third-party STLs available I might give it a look if I happen to find an oldhammer group playing it.
>>97242386yeah they did, but almost everybody uses 3rd party or prints or proxies today

>>97238800A starting level character having a 1 in 3 chance to get a major favor from an NPC seems like pretty good odds to me, dude, and as >>97239432 said, you can use luck to make it a sure thing.
>>97240830Always found it funny that Adam Smasher is a boogeyman because he targets basic level street punks when Arasaka has tech like this. And the body is supposed to go to Smasher, so Smasher will go back to unga bunga bullying babies again because he is a sore loser that cant get rid of his grudge of losing to a old coot with a stick.
>>97242019In my games I made Smasher the true boogeyman, all the stories of him jobbing are just fake copes and his stats are so bloated (beyond what the basic rules would allow) that he's basically "YOU FUCKING LOSE" statblock, unless the party's goal is to escape.
>>97242019Well, Arasaka loads Smasher into mission-specific bodies; that's the great thing about an FBC. Part of the only reason Smasher actually gets merked in 2077 is that he's in a general purpose body... well, what passes for a general purpose body when you're Adam Smasher. He wouldn't need the cyberskeleton unless (or more like 'until') there's a new Corpo war on, so he's comfortable 'just' being a 9 foot tall stack of violence.Honestly he's pretty stacked statistically; "defeating" him is more consistently a matter of fending him off and not being enough of a priority to warrant additional effort. He doesn't really seem to hunt street-punks for sport as much as it being such an effortless expenditure that he can do it between being Saburo's #1 errand boy; like a kid knocking the heads off of flowers on his way back from the grocery story with his mom's cigarettes.If you have a crew that can take on Smasher with fair odds, if he's gunning for them you should probably stick him in his Dai Oni. He doesn't care about a fair fight and neither does Arasaka.
>>97242930Blackhand isn't the only top Solo, theres a bunch of Solos above Smasher. Theres a reason hes not on any Solo list, but Shaitan whos also a FBC did.>Honestly he's pretty stacked statisticallyBecause to the beginner merc, hes using tech above their level.If Smasher decides to fight around his level, he will get schooled six ways to Sunday. He is clearly an ungatard. He prefers rampaging around in low risk environments, Arasaka prefers this too since its good PR.Putting 2077 as a comparison is kind of cheating since V has plot armor, but at the same time, it also shows how much of a retard he is by losing in a Dragoon body: just smack the offender really hard and hope it works. i think its a dragoon and not a samson>Dai Oniim pretty sure one of his combat skills is a measly 7, which is telling. He would lose if his enemy uses the powerful tool called a brain and drops a building on him too.

>>97242889best I could do is either rough math via hex size but I'm kinda lazy, so in MW5/O 160 m/s is standard LRM speed... very slow, a 9mm bullet out of your normal handgun is about 360 m/s.
>>97242894Projectile speed cannot be calculated by their max range in hexes because their max range in hexes is not supposed to represent the projectiles traveling at maximum speed over 10 seconds to their maximum range.Maximum weapon range in TT was never supposed to be interpreted as the actual maximum range of weapons in-universe and that much is stated, it's an abstraction for the sake of gameplay and not requiring a gargantuan mapsheet to play the game.Range is to be assumed significantly longer and accuracy significantly hampered by in-universe ECM making most forms of automatic guidance and computerized information gathering unreliable at best.
>>97242920The hard truth in Battletech is that the tabletop game and the lore have only an aesthetic connexion and are otherwise unrelated.
>>97242963Not an acceptable answer.
>>97242963The even harder truth is that any setting with more than one writer + decades of time is just chinese whispers and re-interpretation anyway. You could ask two different official current battletech writers and they'd probably give you different answers, and they'd probably be different to what you'd get if you asked any of the original guys.

Karak Eight Peaks is a good example of how rancidly ass the writing in Warhammer is.>hyperadvanced super strong rich dwarf province fell apart and got wiped out by goblins>dwarfs fail miserably trying to retake it because uhhhhhh lol goblins are so le random and funny>army of retards who are hilarious (painfully unfunny) cockney parodies are stronger, smarter and better in battle than the dwarfs ever could be because uhhhh le epic subversion of expectations i guessPisses me off to no end how pathetic and useless Warhammer Dwarfs are written to be, it's like anti-plot-armor.
>>97242824I advise you to reread the sad history of that place.
why does no one wear skirts? Skirts are bad ass.
>>97242903>sad history>dwarves must always suck and die because the hack writers say so because they hate themDwarves, elves, and brets were the three biggest punching bags in all the fluff, dishonorable fourth mention for beastmen who probably would've been shit on just as much had they ever even been slightly more relevant. There's nothing sad about any of their stories, you know they're gonna job hard af because that's what the turdburglars in charge of the lore demanded.
So list building wise, with mortuary cults if I have a mortuary priest as my leadership- 7 general if I include a tomb prince - what happens? Do I have to make the prince the general?

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.
>>97241451Kinonid
>>97242244While true, they also do it because it's a cheap way of conveying an idea or a specific kind of character trait to communicate the idea of the story.Star Trek is specifically guilty of this although it can be said that at least the Ferengi got a massive glow up from being slinking monkey dudes with bulbous foreheads and dragon dildo laser whips to a respectable race who represent old world capitalism in a post scarcity "we don't use money" world.
>>97240164What are some good resources for creating alien species? Or sapient races in general?
>>97242465Sometimes things just aren't that complex. Especially when they have a big folder to dump in threads of their specific favorite alien design.

This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318

I’m running a low fantasy game, and social advancement is gonna be a thing. So the PCs are gonna be rubbing elbows with a lot of noble families as they make their way into high society. I’m just asking for NPCs and ideas.Most of the nobility are humans, but a few are half-elves and halflings.
>>97233040You can have one extra peasant-y peasant who demonstrates why the nobility really do look down on people who haven't been trained in the proper ways to talk and behave.And an impoverished noble who had to let all his house staff go and is pretending he didn't.And give them manners and airs so even if a noble became as poor as a peasant and had to sell his last estate, they'd still feel superior to people born and raised peasants.
>>97233040Probably a military officer with noble blood. That's the kind of nobility adventurers would have the most dealings with. Maybe some provincial governor or duke who either gave out the mission or is scheming something.
Take a look at Houses of the Blooded.
>>97233040Heinrich De Sandea, secret occultist.A nobleman of an old and distinguished family that has a large estate and town out in the middle of nowhere. He commands significant respect at court due to his family line and wealth, but he secretly has a fascination with banned magic and forbidden books. He believes that the kingdom/empire/whatever has foolishly forfeited a powerful advantage by "needlessly" discriminating against these topics and schools of magic, and believes that ignorance of them will not serve as protection should some competitor choose to invest in them when we have not.So he's performing horrific magical research with the "justification" that he is doing it for the good of the realm, even if the realm would have him hanged if they ever suspected he was doing it. When Sinistaar the Dark Lich rises from his thousand year slumber, De Sandea will be the one guy who knows *exactly* how a phylactery works, how it might be found and destroyed, and maybe an uncomfortable amount on how to make one if you were so inclined (which is impractical, you'd never get ahold of that many orphans without drawing attention to yourself, there HAS to be a better way...)
Beautiful Princess who is removed from everything and lives of luxury.
