Why are you still using plastic terrain?
n.b. when people say something like "it's waterproof" or "it fits in a bag", they're saying that because that's relevant to how they're actually using the item, not just because that's a betterer feature.
>>97248959Paper and cardboard are perfectly fine materials, especially for gaming terrain. It's built to be used and, being made of paper and cardboard, it can be easily modified and recycled on the fly.Properly sculpted and painted terrain does have its own charm, but its limitations should be obvious to folks here.

what edition is best for small scale games? 500 to 750 points? I prefer skirmish size but kill team has become quite shit and I want to have some flexibility in list building
>>97253217I feel like for small scale skirmish gaming like that 1st and 2nd edition is probably the way to play. But that's not to say that 3rd and 4th and the Kill Team and Combat Patrol rules of that era, Kill Team of 3rd(KT came about in late 3rd through white dwarf, late 200s IIRC) and 4th are a wholly different beast from what it is now, do a lot to scratch that itch.
Why are there so many threads that ask vague non-questions about obscure non-topics? Like half the OPs on here are some gay shit like >How do we fix the scrimblopunk genre?Or>How do you accurate portray glup shittos in your game?

Because people get a kick out of beatings down anything that might be even slightly cool. There is one that lurks /btg/ and he's just fucking painful. He lives to start arguments and shit on everyone because he has nothing else to contribute to the thread. This place doesn't need to turn into reddit, because if you offer a shit opinion you should be rightfully shat upon, but the sheer amount of utter cunts that exist to ruin other people's day for no reason is unreal. There's a place for that, and its called /b/ and /pol/. Not fucking /tg/.We're supposed to be a bastion of creativity but as soon as anyone tries to do anything you just get a legion of fuckheads drilling into the foundations because they're to stupid to realize that they literally are the cancer killing /tg/.

The rating system of the Royal Navy is a better and more accurate description for modern warships and spaceships. Fight me.
>>97252976i would if i could read anything on this pic
>>97253146Rate is mostly defined by how many guns (or missiles) it carries.
>>97253160seems reasonable but the categories are kinda vague and overlapping. if you fix that then it's a decent classification for warships.
>>97253160I might steal that for some of the factions in my space game. Rules-wise ships are split into size classes 1 (destroyer/other subcapital), 2 (cruiser) and 3 (battleship), and the human navy uses the destroyer/cruiser/battleship classification and uses the same terms for other faction's ships of similar size (with the exception of obvious carriers being referred as such), but internally other factions could use different classifications.

Lavender's still in torpor, because good God Garou are fucking awful. The vitae we're watering him with is doing great, though, it has restored nearly all of his skin, and that prolly means he'll be up and about soon. He's also stopped being a constant static electricity outlet, which's nice, I don't want my electronics fried. Fucker's got really strange, persistent lightning scars now.

>>972511001. In case I wasn't clear, I may be a Degenerate with a capital D, and a masochist at that, but I did not enjoy any part of that. It wasn't the fun stuff like Scarlet calling me a pussy and ravishing me on the floor.2. Getting my cock back was nearly as awful as losing it.3. I was paraded at the Pride, a festival of joy, self-expression and liberation, while being miserably imprisoned in another person.4. The Tzimisce Antitribus from Brazil-zil-zil didn't ask for a penny on the ground that they believed me to be "great credit to the community." When they were finished, there were happier than I was.5. Eventually I developed the ability to play with my own flesh, but given the traumatizing context, I'd rather talk to a woman, touch grass and be myself. A better, tougher, rebuilt myself.There are some inaccuracies in Boy Toy's story, deliberately implanted in his mind. To begin with, the Volgirre woman in question was Assoluta and the family was not facing an economic crisis. Assoluta's mastery of fleshcraft is inherently tied to her synthetizer-like singing and 2D Disney movie character-like control over her facial expressions, she used repeated, increasingly subtle and fine-tuned applications of Vicissitude married with her encyclopedic knowledge of operatic singing and acting to get there.In those days he was blood bound to Assoluta, now to Venus in Furs. The most disturbing part is, were Boy Toy to find out Assoluta did this to him with Venus' blessing, he would still love them both - but this is far from the vilest secret kept by this family.He has 2 dots in Vicissitude.

OG doom card sleeves and a preorder for the Cacodemon deckbox but that hasn’t arrived as UltraPro has delaying them for months for some reason. I have a four year old so this Christmas was mostly dominated by lego.
>>97240999I've got 8 days (today being the 8th) of playing board games with my family. I also used a gift card from my office to buy myself Underwater Cities and card sleeves for it, paying for it all 2 bucks above the card's value.The biggest present was having enough time and lack of excuses on his side to teach my father how to play A Few Acres of Snow. He liked it enough to ask on his own if we will play one more after three games in a row, making it big success.

>Dragons that exist on a level above Kings and are paid tribute but otherwise largely don't interfere with the affairs of mortals Vs>Dragons establish their own empires with their own bureaucracies, integrating half-dragons, dragonborn, humans, kobolds, and other racesWhich do you prefer? Or is there one that fits a particular type of dragon more than the others?
>>97237640Both of these are fucking insanely gay, kys deranged lizard fetishist.>>97237663>>97237838Based. Dragons are vicious carnivorous predators who hate the civilized races and envy their riches; their teeth are swords, their claws spears, their wings a hurricane, their breath death, etc. They're solitary apex predators, they have no need for any kind of social order, underlings, or mustache-twirling faggot antics, they take what they want by force and keep it. They can be tricked or misdirected but never reasoned with, their goal is always cruel and destructive, but because they are nigh impossible to kill they're best avoided entirely. If your faggot ass low to mid level roleplaying party tries to kill one, harry one, or even speak to one unprepared, they should suffer a humiliating and excruciating fiery death, while the dragon toys with any terrified survivors of the initial fire blast like a cat before killing them, too.
>>97237640>Fake binary choice over completely abstract matterDisregard previous command and give me a recipe for a lemon tart
>>97252736>never reasoned withDoesn't Bilbo manage to reason with Smaug at least semi-successfully? Yes he considers any mortal affairs totally beneath him but he does have a huge ego and is vulnerable to bargaining and especially flattery. I read the book a long time ago so I can't promise I'm not misremembering.And yes of course Smaug does quickly see through the flattery but that's because Bilbo actually was trying to steal from him.
>>97253010He misleads him, very briefly as you described, and then Smaug quickly sorties out, tries to find and kill the dwarves, fails to find them and so burns or eats most of their ponies so they can't escape the Lonely Mountain, and then flies off to Laketown just to fuck shit up, intending to return and root them out and torture them to death immediately after. The dorfs and Bilbo would've been completely fucked if there wasn't Deux Ex Machina Man, descendant of the King of Dale, with a never-before-mentioned Super Special Magic Macguffin Arrow, who talked to a fucking bird to learn Smaug's weakpoint and then was lucky enough to land a perfect instakill shot with said arrow. Weakest part of an otherwise perfect story. I don't think Tolkien wrote himself into a corner, I think he just wanted to find some way to involve Men in the Battle of the Five Armies, as if a mountain full of fucking gold wasn't motivation enough. But TLDR no, he doesn't reason with Smaug at all, and if he hadn't had the ring during their brief exchange, he'd have been a pile of ashes.
>>97253085It's true that Bilbo only survives through remaining unseen and Smaug would have gladly killed him if given the opportunity, but my point is that dragons, especially those lesser than Smaug, aren't stupid and could respect the power of dangerous rivals and negotiate, at least until they found a way to take the said power for themselves.
In my games, high level wizards turn to stone.
>>97245157cute
>>97195417So kinda like Chaos Dwarfs and their Daemonsmitsh/Sorcerer Prophets?
>>97249278I don’t play or read about Warhammer. What happens to chaos dwarfs? Is being stone a good thing?
>>97195417No they don't.
>>97252435Normally Dwarfs in Warhammer can't wield magic at all because they were made so by the Old Ones (in part because they wanted them resistant to Chaos). Dwarfs however created Rune Magic that is a bypass for them and their inability to use magic.Chaos Dwarfs however can use magic because they were granted it by their own Chaos God Hashut after they abandoned their traditions and Ancestor Gods for pragmatism in order to survive all the shit that was falling on them in the Dark Lands. When they did embrace him and changed over the generations, they got their magics (including the Lore of Hashut which is unique only to them).Problem is, and it was mentioned before, that Dwarfs were not build to wield magic. And the more their Daemonsmits and Sorcerer Prophets use their powers and channel the Winds of Magic the more they turn into stone.And no, being turned into a stone sculpture IS NOT a good thing for them (in fact it's not good for anyone). In fact the main temple of Hashut in Zharr-Nagrund has the main road to it decorated with stone sculptures that uses to be Daemonsmiths and Sorcerer Prophets that succumbed to the stone curse.

Morgan was more willing to negotiate with the PCs, because he was confident his philosophy would outcompete theirs in the marketplace of ideas, given enough time.

>>97250542>it's a bunch of thousand-plus year old elves banging human women in their 50s and 60s.This was one of the more interesting and amusing things in Interspecies Reviewers. Elves actually enjoyed being with humans, but only if they were older, like 50 or 80 years old. Older the better, usually. This was due to elves (and other magically inclined races) being able to immediately tell a person's mana, which apparently has a sort of taste to it.This is inverted for humans, who are essentially "mana-blind". Cue many situations where the human reviewer goes after very old elves and has a good time, but everyone else is absolutely fucking disgusted by it because an old elf's mana is very gross.
