>>97863739Because with a proper relaunch the game would finally had a fair chance of getting some traction. Warcaster is unironically a great and unique skirmish game and I honestly believe it could be one of those games with a small but committed and devoted playerbase.

Players who bitch about stun mechanics being bad.Whatever system you're playing probably has several options for you to be able to do the same thing to the monsters. Now, you don't HAVE to take those options if you don't want to, but don't complain about "wahh he can do it but I can't" when you were crystal clearly given the option for it.>b-but being paralyzed means I don't get to play! that's not fun!Suck it up, buttercup, you'll be fine in a couple minutes. Besides, how do you think the GM feels if you stun his poor precious monsters and now he doesn't get to play? Would you still be bitching about it then?

There's a legitimate argument that maybe it could have pulled better from folklore instead of putting in the druidic stuff but then again a fair amount of this was inspired by Anne Rice right? I have to admit I find it somewhat ironic that people dislike old Werewolf for being gross and weird but conveniently avert their eyes from old Vampire being gross and weird too, but it is what it is. I suppose they have a certain propensity towards games and themes more archetypal of the radical left like turning into an authoritarian big titty lizard fiend and enslaving the normies, but what do I know? Feel free to ignore the schizo last sentence, was mainly a joke

I might fail, however, skin painting is still my problem.
>>97865584>>97865580Before getting serious training, I must figure out that cleaning problem. Since spraying itself works fine and problem arise when I clean for color change, it must be result of leftover paint accumulation between cup and the tip. I located two shops in my city where I can try to seek advice, one apparently ran by some grandpa that also paints on place (likely walking encyclopedia of knowledge) and another mentioning some painting classes on their page (might be outdated info but likely someone from the staff could help).
>>97865538all i see is a model that has nothing to do with the conceptif you tried to say that's okay because whatever, ok i guess
>>97865616>one apparently ran by some grandpa that also paints on placeThose are generally the best kind of people to ask. They are oftentimes just happy to talk about the craft, casually giving you a trove of knowledge that others gatekeep behind patreonwall. Also, if he's doing classic art with the airbrush, he might give you some good advice on art airbrush paints, some brands are supposedly excellent (like Schmincke Aero) and mogg the fuck the hobby ones.>clean for color changeI generally pour out the paint > squirt water inside from a bottle until only mostly clean water comes out (I have a bottle with an applicator, but bottles for ketchup will also do) > pour full cup of the water > backbrap > pour the dirty water out > repeat > another full cup > spray it all out through airbrush > put in new paint.
Wait so hold on. The booby traps you set here don't actually... do anything. They don't explode. They don't even slow down the opponent. Not even the lazy route of making it dangerous terrain. They just do literally nothing on their own. All they do is give you bonus VP for killing guys standing near them. So the traps themselves add ZERO fucking lethality or even "disruption" which is the whole point.GW is trying to pull a fast one on us pretending to make more narrative mission rules while putting out dogshit like this that is literally functionally IDENTICAL to "raising banners", just pointless action monkey shit that doesn't have any real narrative mechanic to it, reskinned over and over. It's obvious they didn't even playtest this, or someone would have asked during a game "uh, so, what do the traps actually DO", they just shit this out probably with ChatGPT and slapped it on some cardboard and expect us to shell out to buy the mission deck like good goyim.I'm so fucking sick of it, man. 11th edition already looks like a flop between this and the extremely boring models they're showing off. I know it won't actually be a flop because people keep paying but like, why. At what point do we just collectively decide to play a better older edition and 3D print all the models?
yeah but when they say booby you think of tits and it activates your neurons in a good way.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started.

>>97863348You fight round by round, but yes, unless one party dies, routs, or withdraws in good order (which is also a non-voluntary action in Chainmail proper, the result of a mildly failed morale roll, but can be assumed to be voluntary for PCs in D&D whio have no morale scores since the player's feeling about how the battle is going constitutes their morale) the melee will continue. Note though that in Chainmail itself there are no hit points, so the assumption of the MTM rules as written is that there won't be that many rounds of melee since one combatant or the other will just die.
>>97863478hits becoming hit dice has been a disaster for combat brevity. Gary trying to put a band aid on it since greyhawk by varying hit die size and weapon die size and adding increasingly more damage from strength has never really worked to bring time to kill down.

>>97864694>the battle of coruscant has about a few dozen ships visible on either sideThe animated series, which was made to directly lead to the film, shows a zoomed out view of the battle with probably hundreds of ships. We don't see that many in the film, but the film mostly has relatively closed up shots, primarily following Anakin and Obi-Wan flying to Grievous' flagship, so we never really see the entire battle. Even the relatively small slice of it that we do see has dozens of ships packed in close together, so there could easily be several hundreds or thousands in the orbit around Coruscant.
>>97864624>numbers like 20,000 star destroyers even though we never see more than 2 in a single place before ROTJ20 000 ISDs would mean about a squadron of ISD per sector. In practice, I would assume sectors with important locations like the Imperial capital or major shipyards would have more ISDs stationed there, while backwaters in the outer rim would have only one or none at all. Which is entirely consistent with what we see in the films. Sending an entire squadron of ISDs to one place would involve committing most of an average sector's naval power, so it makes sense we only see that kind of concentration of firepower in highly important military operations, like Vader leading the Death Squadron to attack Hoth in an attempt to wipe out the Rebel leadership and Palpatine luring the entire Rebel fleet to Endor to wipe them out in a single battle. The Imperial ships in the battle would represent the forces of multiple sectors being gathered in one place, leaving their home sectors defenseless in order to concentrate enough firepower in one place to ensure the destruction of the Rebellion.
Reading TPM novel and never knew that Anakin found and saved a Tusken only to be found by more Tuskens that then left him in peace. All because he thought the stories everyone said about them can't be true. Poetry was missed.Two sessions into an EoTE game too, an ex scout trooper (me) crash landed onto an uncharted world where I encountered an OOM pilot droid (other player) who was the only droid left from a crashed munificent. Over a bunch of hijinks we encountered other survivors and stole their ship to get off world. We decided after that session we want to form a droid army gang and repair the munificient. The planet was luckily near Geonosis so in session 2 we went there and I almost died after stumbling into a cave of Massifs. Luckily we found a door in the cave which led to a battle droid factory still being guarded by 1 B1 and 1 B2. I got blasted to unconsciousness by them and the OOM managed to deceive them into not attacking anymore. And then convinced them I was a CIS operative and that he is in command now.I got healed up but the factory is in shambles so we only managed to fully complete a further 9 B1s and 2 B2s. We decided to go to Tatooine next to see if we can find parts and make credits to get a bigger ship to transport a workforce to the munificient. While there I went into a bacta tank for a day while the OOM went about Mos Shutta doing basic bounties and surprisingly murking everyone he needed to. He's been wearing a cloak to not be seen as a battle droid. So when I got out of the bacta we had a nice stack of credits and no trouble. Next we went to Mos Eisley to do a bounty for a Hutt and our session ended right as we were standing over our bounty. He was in a warehouse of corpses and trying to smooth talk us but the OOM blasted his brains out.

Got my hands on 10 Genestealer-Metamorphs. Wanne use them as proxys, any team suggestion? My first idea was Mandrakes.
>>97864296Mandrakes would be pretty strange, their rules are so specific. Metamorphs have hand flamers though, so maybe you could tool them up to be novitiates or sanctifiers? It would require a bit of conversion and a few extra models almost certainly but it could work really well.Otherwise, check how goats would work.
>>97865113I thought about Mandrakes exactly because of the sneaky theme, low armour, only 4 specialists for less conversion and i thought they the basesize was the same. Now i see it is different. Mandrakes have 28 and Metamorphs 32, like marines. For Sanctifiers and Novitiates the theme feels less fitting and the equipment differs way more. Even if i could improvise most of it for Sancts excluding the Missionary.
>>97865211I thought the flamer teams would fit because of the devotion and faith aspects otherwise. But check Hernkyn, Scouts, and Kommandos for options to play them as if you're looking for sneaky options.
>>97865296>KommandosYea they feel kinda fitting too. More close combatoriented, sneaky, weak armour and basesize fits as well. Thx
What is the third biggest space franchise after Trek and Wars? Is it actually Warhammer 40K? Because the only other contender I can think of is Doctor Who. The tabletop game Warhammer 40K might actually be it, right?

>>97865512i've had better luck roleplaying in the wargame mordheim than I have at any dnd table where peoples spergy expectations get in the way
>>97865525For sure, wargame doesn't mean you can't RP, it just means you can't run Lancer like you'd run 5e
>>97865512When I started thinking of Lancer this way, as a wargame with with visual novel segments in between skirmishes, it made a lot more sense. I really fucking hate that, but it's at least more coherent then I originally gave it credit for. I think it says a lot about the (fucking baffling) priorities of the devs that the combat works so well but it has very little backing it up.Either way a DM worth his salt can make the narrative engaging. But then a good DM and good group could make a chess work as a ttrpg.
>>97865535lancer has more non combat functionality than 4e launched with and 4e was serviceable outside of combat too
>>97865540Lancer would be better with less narrative functionality imo. They try to take a hardline order-of-operations approach to freeform when less would be more.
