Between the two of these I would rather sleep with the second one.

I dont need 4 sets per year but I wish Sorcery would at least publish a one smaller set per year along with the one major one. Otherwise the game will feel super stagnant.

>>97232015
Sorcery SHOULD have been an ECG. What's the point of beinga TCG if you're going to take advantage of the model?

Then you can add the class levels and more back thanks to the retraining rules. You can turn HD into actual character levels because the System treats them as the same thing.

Not too bad, because it is a 3D print It only took some shaving and a little millitput to smooth over the gaps.

Not been able to post much due to Holiday craziness, next week should be a bit lighter. I have an idea for a Mu Revenant conversion by painting watered-down liquid greenstuff onto a Roman's face and then smudging in any features needed but it might not come out right. Only one way to find out really.

you can check layer by layer with uv tools to see if there's a weird 1px hole wandering across the whole mini

>>97190377

Maybe you could fashion a tool out of a paperclip. Chisel end it or wrap it with a little bit of fine sandpaper. Secure the sandpaper with a rubberband or super glue, secure the paperclip with a hobby knife handle if you have the right socket for it (a set if sockets are handy so you can fix a variety of tools to it)

>>97210457
I'm a little new to FDM, coming from MSLA, but there are some things you can tweak. If you're using Orca Slicer, under the Quality tab, try reducing the Slice Gap Closing Radius and the Resolution values. Some things still won't print for me though, and I think I need to change the extrusion width --I'm also running .4mm so that probably doesn't help

Wait i just realized machinedramon doesnt have a X antibody form. They should fix that.

Yeah Chaosdramon loses most of Machinedramon's appeals. Just because it's "said to be" a more complete form doesn't make it so. I'd much rather have Mugen with AsMaria lights than deal with that round head meatbag eyes chaosdramon

>>97231987
Mugen is a toaster powered by pure evil, it loses that something once it becomes a meatbag.

>>97230962
Sure. Bonus if they take the persona charms and actually have the two showing mechanical differences.

Hey /TCG/

My partner and i have gotten heavily into the lore and models. We just arent too sure where to start? We have the rules and what not but on the website ive noticed not all have STL links.

Also i habe a 3d printer but with no idea how to use it yet

Which of the Armies are recommended for the newest players? I've been excited to start my own warband part of the New Antioch. Yet is that the best way to go?

Be a Master of both paths my son

World path) take the OSR pill, as in internalizing the following truth:
- be like an Arena Master and a Referee, not a Director. Your job is to throw the PC in the scenarios you engineered, to move the set pieces and react to your players decision accordingly, not to be an illusionist altering the threads behind your screen to force your predetermined and inescapable decisions on the pc;
- keep the world around the pc moving, the osr specific tool here is to keep strict track of time in all dimensions. Just as for the microcosm of combat rounds use calendars for days (where to keep track in advance of weather, factions actions and events to be) and proceduralized turns for explorations;
- be callous but just, learn to advertise and telegraph dangers but never shy away from them, instead of fixing mistakes in post (fudging dice, use failing forward and deus ex machina tricks) convey openly the risks beforehand leaving ALL the responsability weight on the players decisions alone, make their agency truly matter;
- treat combat (and by extension all sorts of scenarios) as a war and not as a sport, make terrain matter, make features matter, make morale matter, make psychology matter, make any of the pc interaction matter. The players are traversing a real field, not a theme park with triggerable events and puppets;
- focus on a (per adventure) narrow theme, ask yourself what your game will be about. Hunting monsters? Tomb raiding? Street gangs war? The more specific the better.

[Part 2/2]

Story path) take the Hickman manifesto pill as in internalize the following truth:
- have the players engaging with the world on a deeper level than what the game focus presents. Ask them a poignant, short and relevant reason (that may be honest to themselves or not) for their characters motives;
- there should be overachieving events in motion the effects of which should influence the characters microcosms (and their decisions influence these events back), have them tackle with this spontaneously unfolding narrative;
- make the world have verisimilitude, don't just throw random dungeons and encounters in random locations but try to make sense of them within the context of the world, even in post if necessary. Make notations of these reasons to keep this internal consistency for yourself and not to explain the world to your players. Leave them to make head and tail of it by themselves but reasons should exist nevertheless;
- overarching events should culminate within 1 or 2 game session tops in a satisfying manner (as in resolutive). Make extensive use of in media-res to initiate the game and keep the pacing snappy!

Wonderful, was looking for this exact thread.
I have been running games for 15ish years but have recently started delving into more narrative-heavy games. Currently running PF2e in a campaign that's a sequel to my previous DND 5e campaign.
In the first campaign, the players were stuck in a time loop, and thus had very few consequences to contend with, up until they point they needed to break the time loop and align things to minimize the bad consequences.
This next campaign is set after the time loop was broken, and the new characters are effectively tasked with stitching the broken world back together.
The issue is, with the world in this very broken state, I've been experimenting with more complicated small settings that require some attention to detail/asking the right questions to pull apart the entire story. My mantra has been "nothing is random, everything has purpose" to sort of hammer this home. My issue is that in many many cases, all but one or two of my players seem to understand the consequences of taking actions without considering everything, and one of those players has been playing a dumb character. So in many circumstances, a good chunk of my party has been left feeling like they're getting railroaded or otherwise do not know how to influence the flow of the world. I've even tried dumbing things down significantly (e.g. the infected forest only needed to be healed by the party's druid) but I've brainwashed them into overthinking ( to the point where having the druid heal the forest was the 5th thing they tried because it was "too obvious").
tl;dr, at what point is slight complexity being too hard the fault of the players rather than the GMs? because I feel like I'm failing a bit right now

I literally don't give a fuck about another tcg, but I like bugs. Bugs are cool.

Seems normal to me. Though I'm concerned that the variety they're showing off means they don't have much focus and the food won't be good. I'll still order that leg roast

>>97231971
Holy shit, why did they do that.

>>97231775
I mean despite all the console war shitposting I fully understand why someone who was fully into whfb at the time would hate aos (spending your free time raiding a thread on a mongolian basket weaving forum 10+ years later is another matter entirely). It's so fundamentally different it really can't be considered a replacement to whfb, though of course that's what gw pushed.
As for fatcast, I think generally I prefer the newer stormies but there's definitely some aspects where I prefer the older designs. The shields being a prime example.

>>97231836
40k is more about shooting and gotcha moments with stratagems while aos more more straightforward. Generally you can get a good idea of what your opponent is trying to do pretty quickly which is both good and bad in the sense that there are less surprising moments, but you're less likely to have someone just crush you off a stratagem play. This leads to less cautious play, so the games tend to be slightly shorter but not by much. Outside of the game, 40k has a lot more established lore, so it can be harder to /yourdudes/ in 40k without getting people you're hobbying wrong. Aos is wide open, the realms are all weird and varied, and have just enough explored to give an idea without it being so much that you can't insert /yourdudes/. Aos is a little better than fantasy in that respect too, because fantasy has so much established lore that placing/yourdudes/ in a certain place on the map, or having them interact with a certain faction is instantly invalidated by 40 years of maps and stories.

>>97231882
If new Liberators had kept the pteruges and chain tabard and styled the new shield similarly to the old one they would’ve been a slam dunk. I don’t dislike them but the only differences they have with Vindictors is the weapon, shield shape, tilt-plate, and the Protector bar on the nose part of the helmet.

>>97231836
>What the main difference between the two?
I think the way wounds are counted in 40k are different, there are a couple of things that might irk you when you play full 40k if you're learning from aos or vice versa. personally I stay clear of full 2000 point armies and just stick with spearhead because I only ever really get a game (of spearhead) like every other week and I dont want to get invested into a game that can change on the drop like every 4-5 months. but if you really wanted to play with 40k try and get someone to help you out with boarding patrol, I would avoid kill team and combat patrol like the plauge.

Oh something else I found which could be interesting. So apparently in march or so 2017, about a month or two before they actually released, GW had displayed some kharadron miniatures at a convention or something. The interesting thing is that the admiral seems to have a different hammer shape than the one he currently has. I wonder if this was a prototype or a more mundane conversion by one of the staff? The latter seems unlikely to me since at the time this was essentially a preview miniature. Anyone have more info on this?
