Pic unrelated./tg/ newfag here with a question.Do you guys ever feel like you're getting too old for ttrpgs? I can't shake the feeling that it's gay and pointless, even if the stories are really interesting and it's fun to hang out with my bros.Maybe it's just 5e. I'm gonna try out DMing for Pathfinder and Call of Cthulu, but if they don't work out then I'm gonna have to retire.
>>96970888The ability to enjoy pointless things that have nothing to do with survival or reproduction is the entire point of being human.We won. We defeated nature. We can do whatever the fuck we want.
>>96971241>woodworking and sports come to mindUnless you're looking to sell or use your woodworks, it's worthlessUnless you're looking to get into sports, it's worthless>Things that exercise a talent or ability. Unless you're using it to directly benefit you monetarily or around the house, it's worthless>But I guess none of that matters in this world of leisure.Correct.If all you do is measure your hobbies by what old people think is acceptable, then you'll find that all your hobbies just end up sounding like work instead of a way to mentally stimulate yourself out of the 9 to 5 and all your other chores. So relax and have fun. Have some enjoyment of using your mind to problem solve from a different perspective than your usual one, aka roleplaying. If nobody gets hurt by it, then you're all fine.
>>96970942Just run something in the first two Paper Marios or Odyssey. Alsohttps://2d4chan.org/wiki/Super_Mario_RPG
>>96970888>I can't shake the feeling that it's gay and pointlessLife itself is gay and pointless. Might as well have fun while you can.
>>96970888>Do you guys ever feel like you're getting too old for ttrpgs?Yeah I'm 32 and I still really like them, but something is off. Like it just isn't as much fun or something. After 5 years of being a wagie I'm a NEET again and I feel totally dead inside. It's November which is usually when I liked to listen to ambient music and get feels for my post-apocalyptic campaign, but I haven't felt that sort of deep interior sadness since I was 22 or 23. I used to have such an imagination, now I struggle to come up with stuff. It feels like my brain was once a huge room full of random old junk and books, and now it's just a bunch of clean fluorescent light office corridors, like there's constant clean emptiness in my mind. Maybe I never really had any spark. Maybe my campaigns were always shit. I listened to some old recordings of me DMing, and I don't sound a whole lot different. I definitely lost some of my vocabulary from 5 years of sleeping 5 hours a night on weeknights because of wagecucking. I am not as eloquent as I once was. But other than that, I guess the end result is the same. My friends don't think my games have gone downhill. But I feel like they have. Maybe everything really was just shit all along. I don't know anymore.
Anybody wanna show off their armies?Individual models get a lot of love, and rightly so, but how about a thread to show a cohesive vision of the whole gang of mydudes?I’ll post mine, I like AOS.
>>96971988And my gang for Dead by Lead.

>>96965527>>96970615Twi'leik have been selling each other to slavery for as long as they've had contact with other species. Slaves used to be the primary import of Ryloth until they discovered a local mineral can get you high if you eat it, leading to drug dealing overcoming slavery in economic importance. By and large most Twi'leik seem to have been fine with it, since being sold as a slave off-world is probably going to be better than living on Ryloth. It did result to Twi'leik being spread across the galaxy and becoming the second most populous species in the galaxy (humans being number 1), so at least on a species-level it worked out for them. There's now loads of Twi'leik living across the Republic whose ancestors were slaves but who are now full citizens with living conditions far superior to those on Ryloth.
>>96970138If parked at the back it could hide behind the rest of the fleet while tossing bubbles around to catch fleeing transports at the point they would've been clear to make the jump. Of course, it could also be written as part of the back-and-forth. Rebels hit a Star Destroyer with an Ion Cannon, Imperials blow up the Ion Cannon; Imps catch Rebs with an Interdictor, Rebs quickly send a flight to torpedo the Interdictor; Imps blow up the shield generator and storm Echo Base, Leia and the Falcon barely escape in time.Admittedly it's very silly to play armchair general with it, since it's not the point of the story and Interdictors were introduced far after the film came out, anyway.
>>96970783>There's now loads of Twi'leik living across the Republic whose ancestors were slaves but who are now full citizens with living conditions far superior to those on RylothStrange, I feel like I've heard this somewhere else.

I've been dealt exactly 2 straight flushes in poker and one time I was dealt 4 5s in cribbage but didn't cut a face card :(
bump.Surely you have a harrowing story to tell of your board/card game adventures.
>>96971174I do, but because you posted exactly the same thread that you posted a few weeks back, I'm more inclined to think you're a bot than a real person
>>96971973I'm just a lonely man making threads on 4chan to pass the days away.Also, lots of people make the same thread over and over. Nor can I recollect anything from that thread.
>>96970362at a poker tourney I got called on 2 bluffs, both times got bailed out, once on a gutbuster straight and the other on a single hole card making a flush. table was mad as fuck. still lost cause im bad at poker but I made final table
Why has wizards tried to replace aasimar as the celestial planetouched race twice now?
Visually bland.
>>96944890I have only ever seen Fallen Aasimar because the only appealing play style for them is edgy "fall from grace" stories.
>>96970630>not playing a teetotalitarian LG blowhard
>>96970451Ah yes, the famous unicorn with fucking paws
So we seem to have the idea of why Wuzards tried to replace them. But why did Devas and Ardlings not last when Aasimar continue to?

>>96961182The metal one I had didn't fit great. The resins are kinda shitty but preassembled anyway. The platoon packs of 30 plastic guys are a dream to put together and a retard could do it in their sleep, I can't imagine a reasonable person taking issue with them. Get the winter fallschirmjager, they have cozy pajamas.
HELLO.Does anyone make M-14 carrying Cold War USA boys in 15mm....That is in stock?I see there is a dead company, but no live ones.Thanks.
>>96960814Victrix German infantry are great. Warlord kits are good (don’t let autists tell you otherwise). Metals aren’t hard to put together, grogs have been doing it for decades. Scrub them with a toothbrush in warm water with a little detergent to get rid of mould release agent, rinse thoroughly, and use a good superglue like zap-a-gap thick with zip-kicker for instant cure, or pinning and 5-minute epoxy if you’re worried.
>>96952394How are you handling force translation between strategic layer and tabletop? Like does one Axis and Allies tank equal X points to spend on armor in Bolt Action or something?
>>96939608Whats a historical game like warhammer fantasy/old word that still has a decent playerbase?Im not exactly sure what it is, but most historical rulesets just dont engage me like old world battle reports do. And I know its not the big cool monsters or magic, cause I like shit like Empire and I find the totally non fantastic elements engaging. Stuff like having indivigual unit removal feels a lot more crunchy and satisfying then just different conditions like disordered, I like the feel and power of artillery, how combat resolution works and the differences between retreat in good order, flee, testing to reform wheeling, etc.

>>96968454Wait, who or what is Congreve? Are they or it from black library nucanon?
Maybe it's just because I come from a wealthy, politically connected family and live in the US hellscape, but did anyone else find themselves hating the peasants in your community (service workers, single mothers, homeless, etc) after playing Rogue Trader?
>the parasite cries in pain as it strikes you
>>96971617Congreve is a real world engineer who invented a type of unguided rocket. Y'know those tanks that have the huge pipe organ racks full of unguided rockets on the top? Congreve's rockets are sort of the design precursors to those.
>>96971793It's funny to meme about the poors but brother I think you got other shit going on upstairs, because it's all well and good when you play pretend but when it leaks out into reality they call it delusion.Go get your head shrunk and then see how you feel. A nepo kid like you should be able to afford it.
How prepped is your party usually on average when delving into a dungeon? Do you just wing it or go super preppedness?
>>96971763I meant for an inbetween game.
>>96970685>Not even an anime girlYeah, she fucking disgusting. Also you're not fooling anyone with your obvious AI-slop, no matter how hard you try to pass it off as your own, faggot. Get off the internet and do literally anything else with your life.
>>96972084>rent free tard raging about a picture that isn’t even AIlol Luddite
>>96970484Are you fucking retarded? She's not even holding her spell correctly. It's obviously machine-generated vomit. Her sleeves don't match either and there are a million other tells that this shit wasn't done a real artist. At best someone gave the AI an image to use for the face, but the rest is garbage.
>>96971943You asked for a campaign, and there's no such thing as an in between game. You mean a one shot?Then it's a dedicated dungeon delve. You know you can use common sense for these things?
The gods of this pantheon...all seem rather narrow and one dimensional
>>96967640>They do. Both normal and reversed cards have a meaning. Which only further complicates thingsSo what's the problem? The manifestation of the card as a god is what they have providence over and the reverse is when you fall out of favor with the,Or if you don't want to make 22 deities and have exhaustively cover all encompassing domains, maybe take the human figures (Fool, Magician, Hermit, Empress, etc) and combine/connect them to each of the other cards, each sharing 2-3 of the other pieces of arcana (Tower, Death, Chariot).
>>96967640>Maybe I should just go back to my original idea of the tarots being represented as thrones of divinity and the interpretation of that throne depends on the individual that ascends the throne.That's an idea. Oh, maybe the reversed forms of the cards take the form of archdevils or something? As for the more non-physical cards like the Tower, maybe they simply use it as a symbol rather than actually taking on the form of it?
>>96935412Sure. And this works, as long as the sect's behavior is not so far-removed from said deities that they wouldn't play ball anymore. When you pray for your spells and they don't come, the game is over. This is why being a member of a deity's faith typically requires you to stay within one step of their alignment; anything further would probably not be enough like their ideals.
>>96934154>Helm>symbol is a gauntlet
>>96968766Huh. Didn’t catch that.

>>96966946Spell/Ability Cards are huge.It was basically the only way 4e was playable even.You can even color code them by the kind of action they use, so that action economy is easy. "Oop, i've played a red and a blue this turn, but i still have my green"
>>96970071Oh don't worry, it's even more annoying, because Vex only applies on a hit, so you need to resolve the attacks one at a time instead of rolling all at once.
>>96969005Don't have one, so I'm gonna squat here.
>>96968856Then don't do it in a dungeon?
>>96966594I'm interested in it as well, can't believe they stuck the harvester devil in there when those fuckers were the main devil deal breakers in 3e

>>96968708If this was true infantry would be invincible because they can just dodge bullets
>>96971667Infantry don't have jump jets attached to their body or extra-strength servos.
>>96968708This is the most retarded post I have seen on /tg/ in a looong time, holy shit. Yes, just sidestep the thing that probably has a guidance-system and explodes with a fuckhuge radius. Brilliant plan. Actual invincibility, bro. Fuckdamn, I've seen alot of retards on /tg/, but just like... damn.
>>96971951He probably plays a Lancer, a game where you can a Evasion score of 20 on a game where attack rolls are 1d20. The brain-rot is so deep it leads people to believe that something as large as a mech can anime-dodge bullets and explosions. Some of the stuff in Lancer is even more retarded than stuff in D&D 5e, if you can believe it.
>>96971951>Yes, just sidestep the thing that probably has a guidance-system and explodes with a fuckhuge radiusThe radius of the explosion itself doesn't matter since anti-armor weapons pretty much always rely on direct hits to penetrate.

>>96970166Generally people will be okay with anything as long as>base sizes are correct>it's easy to tell which models are which>the silhouette of the models is within the same general ballpark size as the real onesAnyone who won't play against your models when they fulfil those criteria can be counted among the bellends of the worldDepending on who you play against, any or all of those criteria might also be possible to ignore, but you'd want to check with each opponent ahead of time that it's okay to use them.
>>96970557silhouettes? I'm rather new to the game, I inherited a bunch of old hammer 1992 models. So most of what I got is picrel.
>>96970768The general size of the model itself. KT uses true line of sight (partially, it's a prerequisite but doesn't determine the entire shot) so the size of your model determines how easy it is to spot your models. It only really starts being a problem if your models end up being half the size of what they're actually supposed to be, since then you can completely hide behind terrain features you otherwise couldn't.But even though your marines will be a tad shorter than the actual models, they shouldn't be too bad of an issue.
>>96970820So add some more to their base to make them taller, yeah? Thank you for your previous answers.
Building up the infamous jobberkin. I know I need a vox, a medic, and a recon. Aside from plasma and melta, are any of the gunners and/or the sharpshooter worth taking? I'm sure the grenade launcher has a place, too.

>>96970409>all the cool shit is actually kinda lame Idk, that's kinda my gripe with infinity. It seems that the lists are very rigid because of how specific they must be, and that means there are choices that are too niche or not worth it, severely limiting build options. I mean, who the fuck will bring a hacker daoying? And as you said, what's the point of the massive (size and cost both) guija?
>>96970558Thing is, all of those still have their moments to shine. And you know the mission and table layout before you choose your list. If you realy need to defend the yan huo and zhencha minelayer will do an excelent job. If you know that mimetism will be a large part of your enemies gameplan the msv haidao will carry you, etc.Infinity is a complex game and lists have a lot of moving parts, so evaluating anything in a vacuum is at best unfair to the unit and at worst outright pointless. Take stuff like speculos. In a vacuum an unstoppable killing machine that theoreticaly mean your enemy starts his t1 in LoL and/or can't activate their important pieces because bob from accounting stands there, menacingly. In practice they aren't even part of most shasvastii lists i see/build because of how the new scenarios work.It all depends on mission and your enemy. Thats why i don't see qiang gao as the better choice than ap hmg shang ji. Against morats qiang will be a pretty poor choice and you would wish to have the ap hmg and better dodges for example.Same for every other profile as well. S5 can be cripplingly bad and bts3 a death sentence against viral in the case of yan huo.
>>96970558>who the fuck will bring a hacker daoying?Everyone who isnt playing IA?
>>96970772>And you know the mission and table layout before you choose your listDo you? We build it before the game taking turns.Anyway, I guess I'm kinda retarded cause I keep going "you have to get this, to get that" and in the end the free space left isn't much. I'm too in love in fluffy/narrative lists for wargames I guess, they just don't work there. I guess it's a blessing that everyone I introduced to infinity or wargames as a whole ditched them after a couple of games and I don't have anyone to play with
>>96970857Might be tournament brainrot, but in my group it's normal to decide on a mission in advance, then build 2 lists and decide on one after seeing/setting up the table and drawing classifieds. But then again, pick up games at thr flgs don't happen because we are all adults with full time jobs, full calendars and very limited hobby time. That only 2-3 bachelors play wargames at all makes it impossible to not plan games in advance.Life comes at you fast after leaving school/university.
