>>97817168>TTRPGs are not, however "first and foremost" games.I get what you are trying to say, but I think you are saying it badly. TTRPGs are not wargames, but they are games. They are not meant to be competitive or antagonistic. They are not "winnable" in the way that other tournament-play-ready games are made to be. They are not like other kinds of games, which leads to the problem of people wanting RPGs to be a singular something other than what they are, like a video game, or a solvable equation, or a simulator, or whatever.

>>97818486Mainly what >>97816957 says>dude trust me, the master of fucking-with-memories Dominate Ante that also has fucking FORTITUDE as a main discipline got shanked like a dumbass outside the city walls. By who? Doesn't matter, who cares, maybe the brujahIf anything close to that had happened then the Brujah would never shut the fuck up about it. I like the idea of Ventru being in one of the Aralu coffins, still prince over Enoch and using the Tal Mahe Ra to tard wrangle the other Antes' world-ending schemes under the guise of a Gehenna cult, holding down the fort until daddy Caine returns with the milk and cigarettes from the store For Troile eating Brujah fair and square and the Trujah being rightfully seething, sure, why not. Brujah as a nerd, embraced a fiery BPD chick Troile, she later fucked him over and went for Moloch demoncock when the whole Carthage thing happened. I don't care much for Brujah history so someone feel free to correct me if anyone else has better ideas

>>97818695I like the subtext that stillstorm, from taben, who lost one of her daughters in a previous battle, decided to send Talon away from the fleet. Ostensibly so she can train some new pilots, but if you notice talon has the same hair and eye color as stillstorm.. meaning talon probably resembles her late daughter.

Any suggestions for systems built for urban fantasy settings? I know there's World of Darkness but I'm looking for something that is more combat focused and less story telling. Monster of the Week has been suggested to me but I'm just not a big fan of PBTA, the systems just don't feel like a game to me as bullshit as that sounds.

Is there ANY miniature wargame that isn't insanely expensive? I'm talking about things you can buy in a box and play immediately, not "print your own minis" bullshit or things where you're forced to use proxies cause official models don't exist.
>>97816644That was just our local ban evader nicedaemonette getting obliterated. The mods nuke him from orbit whenever they sniff him out, regardless of what he's talking about. IDK what he did but he has their eternal enmity.
>>97817532They already summarized all of the changes and they're a lot less than what's been changed between Compendium and now. They didn't remove an entire phase of the game, for one.Although honestly, I don't know anyone who is actually going to use this new core book thing since it only has the BSP rules for non-mechs. Everyone's going to wait for the actual full rules.
>>97816722>I have no standards: the Post
>>97816576Oh no, at 10,000 you would never be able to bring more than a Star. A Kit Fox with a green pilot (3/4) is something in the range of 1500. Five Kit Foxes will of course effortlessly crush a Freebirth assault lance, but this is to my point: Not a whole lot of miniatures. Elementals, maybe, you could round it out with Elementals.
>>97817200They demonstrably aren't technogically stagnant and that's evident in how their model kits have changed over time. Also "technology" isn't a magic incantation that can be invoked to resolve problems arbitrarily, their issues are that their existing infrastructure was scaled for a much smaller market, but the market massively expanded in the last 10 years, the fix for that is not mystical "technology" its scaling up production to meet demand, that means buying more or renting more warehouse space, buying more injection molding machines and building new factories, which they have been doing.A subset of their supply issues that actually dies relate to technology are metal and resin models. When Horus Heresy second edition came out various resin units were out of stock for 6+ months because resin casting is extremely time and labor intensive, similarly about 2 months after TOW came out GW put up a shitload of job postings for metal and resin casters, the increase in demand for resin and metal models that had previously been mostly the purview of games like necromunda and MESBG caused those games to have half their resin/metal ranges become unavailable. What are they doing to resolve this problem? Remaking models from those ranges as plastic kits, because its cheaper and faster. Why did they not do that sooner? Previously the sales of the kits in those materials wouldn't have justified the cost of making them in plastic. The whole issue is just that they need capacity Also we know what it would look like if bandai made warhammer because they made warhammer.

>>97818893Who are we even losing? I remember Tempests' Eye being in the chopping block.Also I'm wondering about rules and tome stuff now. I think we previously assumed 5th would have your 4th edition tomes available because we just had an "index edition", but now that 5th is shaping up to be such a big shakeup I'm less sure. Though on the other hand it sounds like models, factions and rules will be largely untouched.
>>97818916Yeah, and guess what? The legions are more or less uniform, they just have slight twists on battle doctrine.
>>97818882Yes exactly
>>97818899Disagree, have them mostly be uniform but give each subfaction city unique units like with the Skaven clan divide

How the fuck are the Lord of the Rings wargame minis still getting made? Those movies were 20 years ago.
>>97811922>(still not as good as the books)After having heard that Tolkien wrote the hobby as a sort of bedime story for his son, I got the audiobooks and had a great time painting fantasy stuff with them for background. LOTR really was made to be told, not just read.
>>97805321You can't be that hard on them if you remember that they started playing the game in like 2017 (after it was ruined). They never got to experience GOOD 40k. >>97809693>They're MTG fans who pivoted for views.That makes SO much fucking sense. Their severe "old bad new good" skew with everything from sculpts to balance changes / wanting even faster rules update churn than the absurd speed we currently have speaks to a MTG mindset of "fix the current fucked meta with the new set!" of every CCG out there.
>>97817866>old bad new goodThis is why I like them though.
>Those movies were 20 years ago.They regularly sell Tolkien books at my workplace next to bibles and reprinted classics and copies of the constitution or art of war. Not just Tolkien, but Middle-Earth encyclopedias.Tolkien is unironically arguably a part of western culture at this point, or respected on a literary standard
>>9780522625* years for Fellowship. The movie trilogy is legitimately so good and in the sweet spot of coming out before Cinematic Universe slop, but after the booming rise of CGI getting good. It remains epic, influential, with legendary behind the scenes moments, and a common entry point for getting into movies, fantasy, storytelling, reading, or games in this case.It also doesn't hurt that Tolkien is almost more influential to modern books than Shakespeare. The actual game is okay. I think there is enough of a collector/player base that just buys a couple of minis every once in a while to keep things going, and the upkeeping the contract with a release like 1-4 times a year is lucrative in comparison to letting the contrast expire.

>>97817802I like the idea of presealed packs being on the line when you play against someone. That is kinda like competitive PVE, which is an itch that isn't being scratched in the current favored co-op card game design.
>>97817809Sealed is fucked because of coalition, probably makes cube a requirement to enjoy balanced limited. If you're buying a box to flesh out your collection then it all works out in the end, but the randomization is faction stacked so you get entire packs of "play this faction."

Where do I even put this on the alignmen chart?There's collectivist angle allowing "all people" to pursue their dreams, which is pretty Lawful.But also dependence on slave labor (drugged out of their mind to stay content and compliant), which seems pretty Evil.Or is ensuring the working class doesn't suffer kind enough to shift towards Neutral?Assuming high fantasy, not mudcore where the peasants make over 90% of the population.
