Writing General: 'library' editionWelcome to /wg/, the thread for all /tg/ related writing. Whether you're plotting your campaign, trying to come up with a character backstory, or just trying to write some setting fluff, this is the place to post it. You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here. We also have flash-fiction challenges from time to time.There's a discord for writers herehttps://discord.gg/6AwKHGFThe previous thread can still be found in the archive here>>96042773And finally an archive of /tg/ fiction can be found here:http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (dead link, but may be resurrected one day)https://2d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (page missing, wiki still up)Comment too long.

>>96882676>I've been trying to write more, and it caught my eye. Also, although I don't always bother to use my trip a lot of pics are posted by me, and personally I think it's more of a challenge to write for a picture someone else chose.Good, I personally can't do it these days.

>GM runs an encounter specifically designed to curbstomp the playersIs there a right and wrong way to do this or is this inherently a bad idea? I can understand having monsters outside of the PCs' weight class destroying them, but when an encounter is specifically designed to make the PCs look like a chump?
>>96903441I might get flack for mentioning it as an example, but the Chroma Conclave from Critical Role is actually a good example for something of the sort.It was immediately clear after one round or two that the party was hopelessly outmatched and the encounter pivoted on escaping and saving as many people as possible (which meant very little but oh well) while evading four fuckoff dragons.Just "I'm stronger, you die" without context or escape is bullshit GMing.
>>96903441I regularly run 1 encounter per session that will have the party struggling to win without a pc loss. But, my players also like that kind of game. Multiple encounters have ended with one pc at 5 hp, one in need of critical care, and 1 or 2 dead
>>96903441If you give players fair - by which I mean specific, obvious and unambiguous, with no cryptic disingenuous innuendo - warnings that they're going somewhere beyond their abilities, I don't think that there's anything wrong with siccing the consequences on them.
>>96909532I disagree that rpgs should cater to players being able to do whatever they want and expect to do whatever they want unless a giant billboard say "unbeatable dragon don't go here". They should feel more powerful than the average npc, but not more powerful than the world they inhabit. They should feel a good bit of fear when venturing off well traveled roads.
>>96903441good examplethey do dumb shit to tip off the bad guys a who have the means to act on that in universe knowledgebad exampleoops these monsters are all unaffected by yur abilities and also use attacks that target your weakness nin particular. no i dont have an explanation for why they are here. no you couoldnt have known beforehand even tangentially, no you arent allowed to use that clever trick to get out of this even though it makes sense because there isnt a thing in the book about how that clever trick works/that would fall under the clever trick class ability and it does x damage and causes x status effect not the thing it would do in this situation logically.

>>96908711Pic rel is my attempt at an Ahri deck, any suggestions? Some of my thoughts:>Currently green Ahri is in the main deck and probably the chosen champion, but time warp is in the side board.

>>96908994Ignore the (You), I'm a retard.

>>96903313Necromutant spotted
>>96907049Not that I know of, quilted armor seems to have been completely abandoned despite being like half of the rogue trader aesthetic and none of the retro revivalists seem to care at all about bringing it back. Even historical gambeson clad minis at most do straight vertical lines instead of the diamond patterns.
>>96906985>>96906875>>96907049>more modernNo. It was sort of an aesthetic people used for a lot of vaguely weeby SF in the late 1980s so you occasionally see old stuff crop up. It's more of a 1950s trope.>under $10/modelWell, you've got the old Battletroops models. https://ariesgamesandminis.com/collections/online-exclusive-battletroops They're beefy 25mm, and one-piece metals, but they do exist and cost around $5-10 a pop. IIRC there's some other applicable models in the 25mm Stargrunt range as well. Ground Zero doesn't believe in putting actual images on their website for everything, however, and their sculpts are very hit-or-miss in addition to being closer to 1/72 than 25mm.https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/25mm-stargrunt/japanese-corporate-merceneries.html>Modern, padded armor, no helmetsCheck the Colony 87 range from Crooked Dice. There are only a few models kicking around in there but it's the most functional 28mm source I know outside of rooting around in 3DP hell.
>>96878662Sorry its taken so long to get in, I came down with the killer cold thats going around and spent Friday and the weekend in bed. Didnt bet them based sadly, or get the other spoops done, but here are 20 ghouls/feral humans
>>96908023It's kind of annoying, especially since the quilted armor is one of the easiest textures to sculpt besides fur and chainmail.>>96908104>>96906875>Colony 87 quilted armorWent and looked it up - the only ones with serious quilting are the street punkshttps://crooked-dice.co.uk/products/street-punks"Maintenance worker C", "Muscle", "Chamberlain", "Pilot B" and the Colonial Citizens have panels of diamond quilt, while the Breaker and a couple of Traders have vertical quilting. The "Authority Regulators" in the current Kickstarter have the same general armor pattern as the Paranoia sectroopers but the helmets are a bit wrong and there's no quilting. Might work as a base.

>>96908872>I mean yes to both countsThen that explains perfectly why high elves didn't do much for you: they had way less oriental flair and it was a faction of elves and their pets, not a faction of elves and their spiritual allies.Chances are that the only part of high elves you might have liked were the concept of a friendship with dragons, and that you probably would have likewise favoured wood elves over high elves for their treemen.
>>96909262The reavers were the one unit without a full command group and the one where duplicates would be most noticeable, adding more bits and poses was a sound choice, it's not like there's a real difference in costs between making a mould for the already existing assets or for new assets.What's fucked up is that they didn't go the full mile and free the griffon as well.
>>96909332>What's fucked up is that they didn't go the full mile and free the griffon as well.yeah that’s the one high elf model I would want. Well, the phoniex too, but I’ll wait for someone to sell it at something cheaper than $30 for it.
>>96909104They’re demigryph riders who wear leather and ironwood armor due to their oath to alarielle to never wear metal in war. There’s descriptions of those outfits in a bit more detail in the story they’re in, but I don’t have that on hand

>>96909326Yep.There's a distinction between a summoned creature and a called creature, so depending on how it got to the material plane, it could actually die.
>>96909392well, summoned creatures obey the summoner and don't even get a choice in the matter. I was talking about morale for called ones.
