Let's have a positive terrain thread.Post pics of cool tables and pieces, share tips and tricks, discuss your latest projects.
>>96822406Yes. I poured aquarium gravel in a jar with a lot dark grey (or dark brown, depending on the type of rocks you want to go for) and mixed them with a stick. Once all the gravel was nice and covered I spread it on some wax/parchemtn paper and let it fully dry.This will let you paint it without needing to thin your paints to reach the crevices (which would reactivate the glue and make the wall collapse)I mixed the gravel with a shitton of pva glue in the same way as I did the paint and then "poured" it into a mold I made with Lego.I lined the mold with parchment paper so the pebbles would only stick to themselves.Let it fully dry and then you can drybrush it, pick a few rocks out in a different colour, flock it etc.
>>96826122I use fabric for my mats. Have made a drop cloth mat and a mat made out of faux fur fabric. Fabric lies quite flat and you can do stuff like place books underneath them to create hills so you don't need to make your own hill terrain. You won't have to worry about wrinkles, the drop cloth can wrinkle but as long as you handle it with a minimum amount of care its got less odds of wrinkling than neoprene. They can be a bit slippery but in dozens of games run on my mats it's never been all that large of an issue
>>96825317There's a super glue with rubber in it. It rules
>>96822792>quick-n-dirty hobbit holesMe and the boys on our way to the Shire to find some halfling girls
>>96826122Fabric is pretty nice. It can be slippery but you can use whatever you'd normally use to tie a tablecloth down with them, and once you put terrain down it's fine. The real big advantage of cloth is that it can go on any size table. Those oversize ones from cigar box battle can go on anything. No need for different mats for different tables or games.

>>96827963Morale checks are for when a side is losing and their spirit is broken, more on the level of killing one of the pack rather than just brandishing a torch. But it's really up to you. You can even skip the check altogether and just make the animals act like you would imagine they'd act. If the wolves/giant rats are not particularly hungry, they might have no reason to attack in the first place, torch or no torch. And, if they're on the fence of whether they should fight or flee, the torch might be the tipping factor.

>>96821370I think one of their main problems is, that, unlike vampire counts, they cant/dont raise new soldiers from their dead enemies.
>>96828770Gotta dig em up.Makes for easy army lore.This army so and so was buried at so and so, so I painted the skellies red.
>>96828770this post made me picture liche priests going full /pol/fag and scanning the facial bones of every skeleton they raise to make sure they're nehekahran
>>96828813sure, you have nehekeran warriors buried in nehekera, but I dont think there are many tombs in the empire, for example. >>96828847its not only about the liche priest. the Tomb Kings can force their own will (my will be done) into their undead legions. but this only works with nehekeran warriors, that were loyal to the monarchs and were bound to them by magic. when they were buried. that doesnt work for other dead people. thats why TK skellies are a wee bit better fighters than regular skellies. feel free to correct me, but thats my lore understanding so far.
>>96828740>Should I be doing full command for my hammered and dwarf warriors?Yes, Dwarfs rely on beating your opponent on combat res so every fighty block should have as much static combat res as you can take.I'd get BSB with Grungi. It's nobrainer for dwarf lists. 21 models of hammerers is overkill and nobody in their right mind will charge into that, they're ridiculously good but they're also dwarfs so your enemy can just avoid them.Get a dwarf king with master rune of smiting, preservation and on shield bearers to deal with big monsters. Usually people dont put the gun thane on shield bearers as you can either bunker him in a unit of rangers or standing just next to your bricks to avoid being targettable. Dwarf battalion box is excellent value. You can build those quarrelers as rangers (use the capes) and few gyros are a very good addition to any army.
What genre is not well represented? What kind of activities in session just don't have a good rules set? What kind of game would excite you that you think isn't available?
I think what we need is a sysem that puts everything together well. all the subsystems plus the traditional classes and races. We want timekeeping like torchbearer, domain play like a mix of hackmaster and birthright that integrates with hexcrawling and point crawling. We need a whole economy like 3.5 but probobly abstracted down somewhat. We need a rich downtime action system like Icon. We need balanced character options, and a huge variety like 4e but with creativity like 13th age or lancer. Bring back class quests.
>>96828530>>96828538You read the fucking post. If you've got to remove and reinvent so many fucking things to make your retarded idea work, that is not the same thing as saying that D&D works for things it does not work for otherwise.You're currently pitching a hodgepodge of AD&D, 4e, and 5e as a workable framework for shounen battle series and litRPG faggotry because you think "levels = power level" makes sense. in contexts outside of D&D's inbred herd of sacred cows.Again, if you have to butcher the mechanics into unrecognizable pieces, then that means it not the same mechanics and it means it didn't work in the first place. Saying you could run shounenshit in D&D as long as you change the way literally everything works, but you keep words like "levels" and "classes" is a fucking retarded argument and you've yet to say a single thing that proves otherwise.
>>96828646>If you've got to remove and reinvent so many fucking things to make your retarded idea work, that is not the same thing as saying that D&D works for things it does not work for otherwise.Again:>>96807723>Sure, Vancian slots and the existing class roster don't work for much even in D&D's own internal fiction, but there's still quite a lot of the structure usable VERY far from D&D assumptions.>>96811464>It is, however, a major mechanical element beyond the basic resolution. Which is the point I am actually making, that rather a lot of structure can fit a wide range of fiction just by replacing the content filling it.>>96811798>I don't care if you can't ... wrap your head around a D&D-derivative not using the existing classes and Vancian slot allotment. People do in fact write stories with distinct grades of power in distinct categories that offer options from among distinct named abilities, and it's a useful way to wrangle scope and power creep into playable systems even outside that.>>96812118>Or are you just going to keep screeching that because it doesn't fit D&D proper the class+level skeleton of progression can't be fitted to it?Comment too long.

>>96770920When I was looking at this, the main one I saw was non-zeerusted, medium future, science fiction that doesn't go hardcore on the transhumanism. It's all either Traveller (zeerusted to hell with giant bulky computers and psi) or Mindjammer (eighteen bajillion weird sapients who are all human-descendants).Never Mass Effect or Halo-esque, where you have humans, a few aliens, force fields, and FTL, but minimal transhumanism and worldbuilding that doesn't feel 50 years out of date.

>>96827092If their paws function like cats' then they would lack opposable thumbs. I do wonder whether you could keep the appearance of paws but make the thumb opposable.

>>96824913AhoyGoblins is a popular nostalgic deck that is actually good, and it isn't ridiculously expensive to build. One component of it doing well is just being played a lot. There are like 10 fucking players that have Goblins in my ~40 person tournaments.Another is mental load. Goblins plan is straight forward, easy to sideboard for, and not mentally taxing to play. In a 8+ round tournament, that can be a huge blessing, especially for less experienced players. Games usually don't go to time on Goblins either, so you have more mental unload time and can even get food or go outside between rounds.Lastly, Goblins is well positioned in the meta right now. Oath (while being hard for Goblins) is also running defense for Goblins by pushing out most midrange strategies. Parallax Tide also pushes out a lot of midrange. For individual match ups, Goblins is also great at beating up on a lot of cheap "meta" decks that format tourists or beginners will flock to, like UW Control, BW Control, Madness, The Rock, most the Survival decks

People need to stop structuring their campaigns in the fashion of static media like books, video games, and movies. We all had that one friend who'd be watching a movie with you and constantly asking "Why didn't they just do X?"Well the TTRPG Frodo really can just turn to the camera and ask>Why don't we just fly over on the eagles?And instead of shitting your pants you need to be able to respond to that right then and there. And if you can't, then you need to get the fuck over it and just let them do it, come what may. That's the best part of these games. And this isn't about preparation. It's impossible to prepare for everything. It's about improvisation.The TTRPG medium is unlike any other type of media and you need to get used to it.
>>96824577>throw him a bone if he spent time creating a unique dungeon or something.I feel bad for GMs whose players hear the word "dungeon" and don't beeline to it with a giddy cildlike grin. Even first time players jump at any interaction I throw at them.

>>96825984Generally speaking that kind of stuff only really happens if a creature gets a special template applied to them, and AFAIK no AP gives players templates on the level of Wrath's vidya. I won't say none of them give any templates at all, I'm sure there's at least one, but especially nothing so reality-altering that you get to have, like, Thematic Events where you snap your fingers and the light of heaven descends upon your foes while Iomedae's herald personally blows you off or anything like that. Anything on that level would purely have to fall within the realm of GM fiat and homebrewing territory.(I know, because I'm running a homebrew game with that exact premise)
>>96826191>not even 1 page and the topic changes to "casters aren't fun to play"
>>96825984You know you could just take the abilities from the game and apply them to tabletop. I don't think it would be too difficult if you are going to take the time to actually run the game.
