Does anyone have any experience with the Godzilla game? It seems unique but screencaps from the movies is really lazy and I dont know how long a series with like 50 monsters can realistically last.The poster cards looks really cool though and I'm thinking about just collecting those.
Why did the pokescalpers come to lorcana? I'm not paying $15/pack for a new set.Helps keep non-fancy legendaries cheap(ish) at least. And otherwise new rotation looks great, I'm hoping the meta is as open as it looks. Sad that toys probably won't be competitive though.
>>98420133They've been here since Fabled I've literally never opened a Fabled Trove or Booster Box since it released and now they're impossible to find.Ravensburger got what they wanted making those stupid fucking Iconics, a bunch of greedy pieces of shit ruining the game's fun by hoarding all the packs off shelves just to get a PSA 8 from their pulls. The Heroine Collection was the first major public exposure to the problem.

Keep posting your results here as you go though, the more detail the better!
>>98419369There is no separation between location and event. Connecting locations IS connecting the events. Nothing happens in a vacuum. The Big Bad Evil Guy has a plan to destroy - what? Should his ultimate objective not exist before the players see it at the table? Is this somehow "emergent gameplay"? If you want to run games that are heavy on improv, then by all means go ahead, I've done it. I've tested and found the limits of improv at my table, of "in-the-moment" storytelling where nothing exists until you scrutinize it directly. Now I do things differently.>>98419534My diagnoses has no bearing on this matter except for the fact that you have to be autistic to play these games in the first place.
>>98419953Don't stress about that one guy, some people need to medicalize everyone so they can be dismissive. If you haven't seen them, looking at Dungeon World's Threats and Fronts or Beyond the Wall's version of them sounds like it would fit well for the various simultaneous plot lines. I've found they have enough mechanical use but a good amount of flexibility to adjust to player activity in the details while keeping the villain goals and motivations consistent.
>>98411475I once played with a "real veteran" D&D player. Guy was thirty years older than the rest of us and had been playing 1979, explaing real veterans had been playing since before the 80's.We all were young and impressionable and in mild awe, but that faded pretty quickly once we got into the dungeon and he began to lead us through the various procedures we needed to take to check for traps of ever conceivable construction and examine every part of a bookshelf and wipe away our tracks and wedge the doors and by the time we got to the second room and the routine started up again everyone was just looking for shortcuts like "i search for traps like we did in the last room," much to the veterans dismay.
>>98420051Tracking time is already a concern in ACKS thanks to wilderness exploration, domain play, and downtime activities, so I'm just straight up attaching events to my calendar. If Villain A hasn't faced meaningful interference in his plot within X number of days, then he accomplishes an early and minor goal within his master plan which visibly changes the game world, alerting the players that Something Is Happening even if they've decided to ignore the plot hooks (players love to do this). If they make a serious decision as a group that they don't care about this particular plot thread then it can safely be ignored - but the consequences will still happen. These consequences aren't campaign-ending, and as I mentioned they may even be more interesting in the long run.While Villain A is enacting his own master plan, Plot B is still happening as well. Players can choose which one interests them more and focus their attention - but they can't do them both at the same time. Maybe later, once they've acquired retainers and armies, but not in the beginning.I originally thought of FitD's clock mechanic, which I've already used in other games, but ACKS places so much emphasis on tracking actual time as it passes, due to resource consumption, hireling wages, and downtime income, that I decided it was viable to attach the events to calendar dates. As the players interact with the world, those dates will likely change, but for now in my notes they're fixed and I can know at any given moment how far along a plot is.

Do scans exist of Forge World's Death Korps and their vehicles?
>>98411347it might have made sense twenty years ago when you could buy a tin of woodstain for £2/£3 from Wilko. If all you wanted was to hit your models with earthshade, it would do the same thing and give them a satin varnish. I feel you'd be better off making your own oil washes to be honest, unless you wanted to do it for retro reasons.

My Dead Gay Sun EditionTraveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1977. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop. Mercenary campaigns are also common and well-supported. The mortgaged ship and brokered cargo game is (in)famous, but perhaps not widely played.Library Data: Master Archive:rebrand <dot> ly /TravellerGot a PDF to add? /DropOff(Name it "*-notclean" if you suspect it has watermarks.)Galactic Maps: https://travellermap.com/ http://www.utzig.com/traveller/iai.shtmlResources:https://zhodani.space/ [<--- New link; old link at http://zho.berka.com/ still works for now.] https://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Main_PageComment too long.

Should the Carcharodons get Primaris and all the other new toys? How would you make new models for them?
>>98410733They got primaris tech, they just regarded it as an unusually good grey/red harvest
>>98410733Didn't Tyberos get fucked up to the point he has to cross the rubicon or die? I would expect a model for him to come out the same way they did for big daddy Calgar.

Basically what the title says. People who wanted them bought them already, but now there are piles of these everywhere; in almost every LGS. I know Gorka Morka was such a failure that GW bought it them back from their retail partners in response to complaints. People are acting like this box is going to give them an uncurable disease. What gives?>boring models/factions>no hardcover rulebook>overpiced>OverproducedI've never seen people respond to apathetic to a huge "Space Marines vs X" box before. How could they screw up so catastrophically in current year? Are they stupid?
>>98419558Nah people like genestealers and they’re useful with the cults too. It’s actually more like bringing out a very frequently requested army (like, say, elves on dinosaurs) in a box filled with some models that haven’t sold wellNow hold on a minute…

Autism editionPrevious thread >>98386562
>>98419955It's a well known fact that AoS gets the best models. It sometimes gets really bad ones too, but the designers clearly have fun making off the wall shit for the gonzo open ended setting, sometimes it sticks the landing and sometimes it doesn't. The people who disagree tend to be the sort offended by AoS even existing and thus obviously biased
>>98420054NTA but I pretty much agree. I like the overall gothic scifi aesthetic of 40K more but AoS models on the whole are more creative (both the good and the bad) and outside of the first wave of mirrored CADslop tend to be better executed.
>>98419913I guess it’s true for orks but those other factions are genuinely forgettable.
Finished another 12 dwarfs.Well some of them are missing arms or drums, but those are currently moxed with the bext batch and shouldn't take long.

What things do you love and always reuse from game to game?It can be a thing from a setting or a character archetype or character look. Anything. Nonexistent bonus points if reused if because you love it and it is fun.
>>98419886>it's a natural outcome of multiple creative processes based on the same general blueprintthats right>it's definitely not brainless copy-paste by artists who don't give a shitit can be, but that doesnt negate the first statementits no different than using the disney castle, which is how many real world castles actually look like
>>98419888>that doesnt negate the first statement the difference is the crux of your argumentthe whole thread is about reusing assets, but you're making it sound like they're reusing creative processes insteadthe presence of duplicated superfluous elements not connected to "the generic blueprint" disproves your point
>>98419916>the difference is the crux of your argumentthe "giant circular walled town" is just a normal thing that exists in real lifeits no more a re-used asset than having any other townif it was something actually notable like a domed underwater city, then i might agree with you
>>98419916>the whole thread is about reusing assets, but you're making it sound like they're reusing creative processes insteadNo one is saying that, there was clearly no "creative" process involved in any of the depicted cartoons.

Have any of you tried this company's print on demand? I'm looking at a few books I might want, and I know the difference between hardcover and softcover, but stuff like "premium color vs standard color" is something I don't know anything about.
>>98416476I just double check this, to make sure I wasn't being hyperbolic. These are all softcover books, around 150 pages. It goes from 6.99 for two books, to 7.99 for 3 books, to 31.67 for 4 books. That's fucking absurd. I've ordered big orders from dtrpg in the past, and it wasn't like that.
>>98403032I find their PoD products to be quite fine.
DTRPG is fine. Expect shiny, plastic-like covers and relatively cheap paper. Don't ever spring for the "Premium Color" that shit is a waste of money, you won't notice the difference in quality but you'll notice the $20 price difference. Lulu has a better print quality in my experience but they don't have the dedicated storefront that DTRPG has; DTRPG is all in one place whether it be cards, comics, PDFs, and so forth, while Lulu is just a generalized printer. When I ordered my copy of Mythras from The Design Mechanism, it was printed through Lulu and I appreciated the quality difference, while still paying about $60 for my hardcover.DTRPG is also convenient: it keeps all of your purchases in a central place where you can redownload them, it links to Dropbox, it runs regular sales all the time. It's the most popular online storefront for roleplaying games, no reason to not use it.>>98416985I can't speak for the rest of the country but I live in Nashville and it's always funny to me that DTRPG will print my books roughly 30 minutes away from my house, then ship it across the state to a warehouse in Knoxville, where it then gets sent back to Nashville to my mailbox. The upside is that I get my books within a couple days of them being printed.
>>98403077I've ordered several of the 2020 soft covers through DTRPG (Chromebooks 1-4, Blackhand's, Protect & Serve, Pacific Rim, Corp Report, an Operation Firestorm Shockwave). The quality is just fine for the price. I'll warn you about numerous errors in the 2020 core rulebook that aren't DTRPG's fault: the 2.0.2.0 version (that is, the updated printing of the 2020 ruleset) had some changes from the original printing that slipped past the proofreaders, minor errors but you'll notice them when you look up certain rules. The PDFs that are sold online these days are scans of old copies, not that actual original print files themselves (which are so old now that PDF didn't even exist back in the mid 1980's) and so these errors now live forever, never to be fixed.
>>98418623>Lulu has a better print quality in my experienceDo you have any experience uploading PDFs to print or have you just gone through and bought from their store? I'd love to get some of PDFs of out of print books but I don't know how strict they are with copyright or if they even have a way of knowing.
