Looking for recommendations for sculpted bases.
Need 32mm and 40mm bases, preferably with an industrial or gothic look. I've already found a couple places selling what I'm looking for, I just want make sure I don't miss anything good.

Oh, Deviant, by contrast is fucking great. It's an excellent capstone to ChroD as an IP. The heart of the gameline is its very well-implemented core power system based primarily on Variations (the powers) and how it ties them to Scars (an inherent drawback). Your options are extraordinarily broad, customizable in terms of specifics and lore, and really fun. Think of any given super hero or urban fantasy character you fancy, and you can almost certainly approximate their powerset given the variety of options at your disposal. This is especially with the STV content published by Zawadzki (the very dedicated lead dev) later, which expands your options even further, allowing for things like summoned entities that fight for you/stands. You can pretty much make anything you want. The gameline also provides a lot of nobs to customize the sort of game experience and scale you're going for. Black Vans, which OP mentioned, is going to provide options for drastically different setting milieus.

Because the circumstances of a Remade's creation and its results are so variable and its mechanical customization so versatile, DTR altogether makes for the strongest "miscellaneous" gameline which covers any bases its predecessors fail to while being able to meld with and reflect their ideas as well if desired (it's easy to imagine Remade that come about as a result of the machinations of other splats or their antagonists). Thematically, it's big on themes like struggling with alienation from regular people and your former life, acting clandestinely to fall beneath the notice of something that wants to claim you, and the conspiracy and mystery cult angles that are common throughout ChroD as a setting.

>>97221065
>Thematically, it's big on
I can't believe I forgot this, but perhaps the biggest core theme of all is -revenge- and through it, perhaps justice. Fighting the conspiracies whose cruelty made you what you are and took everything from you, preventing them from doing it to anyone ever again. This drive to avenge themselves and the single-minded warpath it instills in Renegade Remade is the purpose and focus which keeps them grounded and prevent them from unraveling - whether physically, mentally, or spiritually - even as it's what makes them dangerous. I say "perhaps" because, if they are not entrenched in this conviction, they can instead be Devoted, having found a purpose to commit themselves to beyond their hatred. Unfortunately, this is usually to one of the conspiracies they would otherwise be fighting.

I will add that Black Vans specifically sets out to present variant rules and genres that let the GM adjust the tone and theme to whatever they want.

Maybe the GM just wants some goofy, high-powered urban fantasy game with only a modicum of alienation and persecution. Black Vans can do that.

A cyberpunk game about juggling a network of patrons and sponsors? A high fantasy game about heroic ideals and the interference of godlike beings? A post-apocalyptic game about hope and despair, and rebuilding a shattered world? A space opera game about toppling interstellar empires? A superhero emergence game about managing PR and worldwide sentiment towards all superheroes? A genre-bending game mixing several of these? Black Vans has this covered.

I will add that even this has nuance.

For one, while it is true that "go Renegade against the conspiracy that made you" is a recommended starting point, it is far from the only one. You might have Diverged thanks to an entirely different conspiracy, due to a freak accident, or because of your own wacky self-experimentation.

For two, most conspiracies of the Web of Pain are indeed super-duper evil. Thus, Renegades fighting against them are "good guys" by default, while Devoted are positioned as "bad guys." But many Devoted are coerced or outright enslaved into service.

Further complicating matters, some conspiracies are more neutral-ish, and a rare handful are morally and ethically upstanding. The Standing 5 Chinkon Collective and its Devoted are earnestly, genuinely trying to keep all of Japan safe from otherworldly threats. It is theoretically possible to play someone who goes Renegade against the Chinkon Collective, but if so, such a Renegade would absolutely not be fighting the good fight.

>>97221178
Indeed, this degree of nuance is one of the major reasons why DTR is such a resounding success, while aforementioned BTP, which plays at nuance by never really committing to anything (i.e. many beasts say they exist to teach humanity lessons through nightmares, but in practice this is mostly just an excuse to justify their innately harmful existences) as a means of trying to cover up how incredibly shallow it actually is, sucks its own ass so hard it turns inside out.

I would probably just give githwarriors BS 4 and give them the option of bows, they had them in 3.5e and I don't think there is any reason for them not to have them in other editions other than big swords being more iconic for them

>I would probably just give githwarriors BS 4 and give them the option of bows, they had them in 3.5e and I don't think there is any reason for them not to have them in other editions other than big swords being more iconic for them
Yeah, checking out the OG Planescape: A Guide to the Astral Plane, one of the bigger original lores on githyanki, it mentions that while long, bastard and 2-handed swords are iconic, githwarriors are also commonly armed with bardiches, halberds, spiked flails, barbed whips, and scythes...
And, more importantly, a new githyanki weapon is the triple-crossbow, which can fire three shots simultaneously or separately as a light crossbow.

I'd need to double-check the Incursion articles from 3e, but even so, this suggests that halberds and triple-crossbows should be valid weapon upgrades for githwarriors, yes?

>>97219574
Yeah seems okay to me, I like bringing back stuff from old editions when I can except when it is stuff that is impossible to reconcile like giants changing sizes every few editions

Don't shit this place up please.

Let's talk about elves outside the standard three! The three standard elves are high elves (the rich pretty people, often magic) the dark elves (the evil ones, often reflecting the writer's fetishes), and the wood elves (dumb hicks with pointy ears). What are the other elves you can think of and which ones do you like most?

To compare, GM of Callidianon's game here. Psyker, several months ago made contact with the world-soul of Iocanthos which showed him a vision of the Tyrant Star. As a result he gained a permanent +1 bonus to all of his Manifest rolls, but after arriving on Malfi his divination powers started acting erratically. As an example, when he attempted to do a reading with the Emperor's Tarot, he drew 'The Extinguished Star' every time, signalling something that was set in motion long ago was going to happen, which drove him mad and knocked him unconscious. He now has to deal with all of his divination powers showing him the Tyrant Star, which he knows for dead certain is going to arrive on Malfi soon - and exposure to it inflicts ramping Insanity and Corruption.

So far for the next series, I showed off the Scramble for Commorragh, where players can fight to claim districts of the Dark City, and the (still incomplete) Directive Tree, where the players can all put XP together to gain new assets and abilities. But those assets, how to upgrade them? Enter the Chop Shop. Some assets and vehicles can be upgraded with new abilities by spending Salvage acquired from Raids and Corruption Missions. Spend the Salvage, get the upgrade. And if there's something the players have in mind, I'm sure the local Reaver Queen can help out. Anything in the name of quarterly profits, after all.

Next, I need to check on something, because if that something is fleshed out enough, I may be able to do something really fucking funny.

very good combination of pose+expression+scene. a natural feeling scene, where you meet this waifu in the woods. nice combination of noble + relatable

similar to 1, maybe a bit less interesting pose. the branches in the foreground of 1 and 5 are nice and immersive

The most professional art of the six options. But the blackness gives it an evil vibe, probably not intended, because otherwise you wouldn't be comparing it to the rest? And it makes me think of the character with the same picture in Sockminster's Fairy King, I prefer images I haven't seen before although it's not a huge deal. the pose is neutral, so less interesting than 1 and 5.

It's funny because I've seen far more mediocre "artists" complaining about image generation users claiming to be artists than image generation users actually claiming to be artists. Most people using it are doing so because it's fun, not because they think it makes them the next Michelangelo.
And let's be real, the furry porn peddlers that scream the loudest about AI aren't "artists" either.

>>97220961
you have to caveat that by the fact Russ is a turbo-retard who's literally wrong every second of his entire life, so his list is entirely meaningless.

He thinks he could beat Angron in a fight and yet Angron absolutely buttfucked Russ when they fought, but Russ said "I could order 200 of my men to shoot you while you're raping my asshole, that'd show you HAHA!!!"

There's no universe in which Angron does not defeat Russ given equal weapons and 1v1 like he already did. Russ is in the 2nd bottom tier of primarchs (above the full nerds like no-magic-magnus, lorgar, guilliman) but below literally everyone else.

>Lost to the Nails
But does Ld10 matter against Pinning, which tests against Cool instead?
I feel the stereotypical WE list doubles down on having huge anti-infantry melee and ignores basic antitank... Though Spartan fire is on par with Rapier Destroyers, and that list also brought a Typhon.
I really can't believe it did all that on 3k pts.

>>97218592

>>97221193
lost to the nails removes all statuses and sets both Ld 10 and Cool 10. It's unreliable until any WE prime slot apothecaries can activate Nails at start of any charge phase automatically (not a reaction, costs nothing) - instantly giving them +1A and 10ld/10cool.

No opinion on other anon's random probably bad army list.

>>97218592
imagine caring about a release date when the battleforce is utterly ruined by the melee-only leviathan (which can never actually catch anything) and the new boxes are ruined both by terrible female sculpts with girly proportions, horrible weapons on the sprues and being in 6man boxes instead of 10 terminators (enjoy your 67% shrinkflation)

Han's revenge works like a worse Leia anyway, so just engage him, disarm him or make sure to kill units from outside his shooting range if possible.
I said Magnaguards because their Protection Protocol means they are the easiest low-investment mini to get in melee. You can of course engage Leia (or Han) in melee with a Primary or Secondary to prevent them from using their revenges. Jango comes to mind since he has easy access to pin and a good melee attack/defense. Grievous can also do it in Cunning Warlord stance but he'll have an easier time killing things with Quad Sabers. Aquas work too but can struggle to get pin tokens.
Admittedly CIS has an issue of limited options with Magnas and Aquas being their only strong melee Supporting unit.

The vidya is pretty funny in how it portrays classes. In TT, you could never have a light side Sith Assassin. They'd lose their prestige class as soon as they alignment shifted over to the light side.

>>97220915
KOTOR 2's NPC alignment is wacky and really should've been more than just light/dark.
They have their default alignment, but it shifts towards/away from your PC's alignment based on their influence level. You can get a light side HK just by being his friend (or by being evil and having him hate you). It won't change anything, sadly, but it's fun to mess around with on subsequent playthroughs
