For some reason, people seem to love both necromancy and skeletons and other undead in fantasy. I’m no exception, since the idea of spitting in death’s face appeals to me, and I’m a Diablo fan, but what’s your opinion on necromancers and their minions? Because we need more non-evil examples in my book. And besides what they’re like in your settings, if you have any art of them worth sharing, please do.
>>92206460Necromancy should involve divination and spirits instead of spooky skeletons and damaging death magic.
>>92214055What would you suggest calling the school of magic that DOES deal with said “spooky skeletons and damaging death magic” then?
>>92206460>Because we need more non-evil examples in my bookGod I hate you faggots. Necromancy is cool BECAUSE it's evil, once you try to redeem it and sand off the edges it loses all its flavor. Have you retards learned nothing from Drizzt or WoW orcs?
>>92208430This. Necromancy is evil. Evil people can be nice to their own people.
>>92206460>non-evil examplesPicrel seems pretty chill with his harem.

Because this is actually an example of safe horny. Same reason people have become obsessed with ass; because men, women, and trans people have assholes while saying, "I love pussy" excludes like 60% of those people.

This is your Field Kitchen. It usually burns promethium, but any flammable biomass will do in a pinch. It has three pots. Usually we boil space potatoes in one, grox stew in the other and the other for reconstituting powdered basedlens Viridians. Even so, it won't all be good times. Don't be surprised if all you get for a month all you get is Basedlens powder, or that sometimes an Ork Leg will end up going in. The difference between a good cook that the rest of the grunts like and a bad one everyone hates is their ability to improvise.That said you will keep the kitchen knives sharp and things clean. Commissars have executed idiot Slop Jockeys who did not and frankly that's a mercy to what i'll do to the idiots which neglect that part of their duties.

>>92216441The votann and squats literally use the same pattern of armor, it's the leaders like urm grimfist or whatever his name is who look different with the flak jacket on the bounty hunter guy and that's not a problem because he can just be a special character but GW fucking hates the flak jackets with a passion.
>>92216441Species? They are humans dude.
>>92216712they had human ancestors after milennia of genetical manipulation, cloning and enviremental mutation they are no longer considered human but abhuman,>>92216556the armor the ironheads use is more a variant of the voidarmor of the imperial navy, they use more or less only imperial technologie. they where seperated from the votann even befor the horus heresy lost all theire technologie, including cloning and shit, they reproduce normally like over 10.000 years while votann come from "genebanks and tubes"
>>92216712Even GW categorize them as Xenos.With that logic Ogryns and Ratlings would be humans as well.

>>92213015I like round bases for everything. Shoot me.As I said in another thread. One thing I don't like is seeing these lovely all sculpts based up so tight on 20mm squares. You can't even see them properly. And these days each rank of 5 is like £4 each minimum for old metals, that's like a £50-80 unit!Let them breathe with modern basing approaches, show off their sovl.
>>92212985Nice cybervalkyries - where are they from? Calls to mind the Stillman miniatures I saw recently here (which look like they graced the same Helsreach board - guessing this was from BOYL?): https://givemlead.blogspot.com/2017/08/a-quest-for-stillmania-meeting-nigel.html
>>92213065>One thing I don't like is seeing these lovely all sculpts based up so tight on 20mm squares. You can't even see them properly.Honestly these day's I'm there with you on this. My main objection to bigger bases previously was largely tied to pointless scale inflation of figures plus inflation of size of units in WHFB, which lead to worse gameplay. There's a sort of "optimal" size with regards to tablespace and movement and such and having a few figures taking up that same area is fine, preferable even as long as it still conveys what's in the unit. I'm used to playing historicals where it's usually much clearer mechanically that one miniature is representing a lot of people, unlike warhammer that stubbornly insists on operating like the size of a large IRL historical reenactment.
>>92212455A lot of energy went into these fimir.
>pieces have a range of movement in my new game>cAN I JuMp OvEr piECes?Why is this even a thing? No! you also can't put your pet dog on the board midgame... I will tell you if you can jump pieces and how.
>>92216315Once again I don't need to explain that you cannot move the opponent's pieces, nor if you can stack pieces together, so why would I need to explain that you can't jump over pieces? Because everyone has chess/checkers brainrot.
>>92215849Then here's some more:>Your players are creating strategies that involve hopping over pieces, maybe it would be more fun if that was allowed.>Your players are saying that your rules are not well defined.>Multiple people on this thread are calling you a two inch long twit who isn't as smart as he thinks he is.
>>92216377If you didn't need to explain it, then nobody would be confused by the rule. Good design creates zero ambiguity. I wouldn't expect someone stupid enough to shill using their real name on 4chan would get this, however.
>>92216377M-Y-----M = my pieceY = your piece- = blank spaceRules as written: Each piece can move up to 4 spaces per turn.therefore this is a legal move--YM----because my piece moved no more than 4 spaces.
>>92216377>so why would I need to explain that you can't jump over pieces? Because everyone has chess/checkers brainrot.It's fascinating to see someone who is simultaneously within grasping distance of the answer and also several miles away from it.

I love monsters /tg/. Not in the I want to fuck them (go to /aco/, /d/ or /trash/ for that pls) but the way they look, live. How you can fight with them in games, hunting them. To tame and use them for good or ill. Shame the majority of rpgs than use summons or tamed monsters suck ass to play as they really drag the pace, having too many monsters make the turns too long.What are you prefered bestiaries? The Iron Kingdoms is my personal one, the Monsternomicon. My first rpg book was the bestiary for 3.5 but the one than I liked the most was this one. The way it explains the world, how different people think and all of that using the monsters is just peak. Wich is yours?
>>92212366Can second this as a very good monster book, though from that era I like Lords of Madness more due to my aberration bias.
>>92212366No no, any sistem. Non Dnd bestiaries would be extra encoureged if anything, we really need different games.
>>92201096This sounds like marketing speak that doesn't actually tell us anything.
>>92212366That book canonizes celestial as bastardized Latin right?.
>>92208987the giants as presented in the monsternomicon are really neat and interesting imomostly the ranger guy in 2, the idea of a stealthy bow giant is neat

I ran a GURPS game where the players were part of a cohort that was sent to find the source of the Nile, most fun I've ever had but the game ended because the players wanted to do a wuxia game. Haven't found a game since because either people arent interested in history or theyre too interested in history.
>>92212796Should've combined both and had them go down the silk road. In the Rome GURPS book I believe
Rome is cool but everything that came after it is much more interesting to me
>>92216586There's not enough fantasy byzantiums. Most fantasies will have long dead empires or civilizations to explain the presence of ruins or treasures, but wouldn't it be fun to find the one city where that entire legacy had been preserved?

Thank you to whoever suggested the Band of Brothers hex&chit system last thread, I've been reading through it and it looks great, much simpler and faster to learn than Squad Leader/ASL while still seeming to preserve a lot of the tactics and being even more realistic in some ways according to the criticisms I've seen of ASL combat. Great stuff!

>have to pack up and travel away to university for half the year>can't take loads of terrain with meI still want to play with people while I'm there, so what games should I look at that work well on a pretty bare table?
>>92216471Ancients/Medieval games tend to fit the bill as most battle have some terrain but not loads.
So I've been meaning to read the novels for almost 20 years (I don't play MtG anymore, it's been almost a decade since I played at this point). Just finally started reading them yesterday. Is there a TTRPG that's a close fit for how the world is described in the novels, or is the best bet GURPS with a custom magic system and a lot of custom Whatnots as they come up?Also, Yawgmoth is a real piece if work. An interesting piece of work, but a piece o work nonetheless.
>>92200904She was awesome. Nice to see a White villain take up things after the old guy.

>>92177235The ideal dropping off point is Time Spiral as it is the last Dominaria set pre-Nu-Magic storytelling. Just skip Kamigawa and Ravnica. Odyssey, Onslaught and Time Spiral Cycles all take place on Dominaria and the Mirrodin Novels while seeming disconnected are a part of the lore.

>>92211771>You ignored the other things I said.>Humans in the T'au Empire have way more freedom and autonomy than they do under the Imperium.

A human can pick whatever way he desires to serve the Greater Good.>Therefore, the T'au are a better alternative than the Imperium for humans.someone didn't read War of Secrets lol. Tau are gonna genocide all non Tau to end warp nonsense as soon as they get them in their empire
>>92216103>Tau are gonna genocide all non Tau to end warp nonsense as soon as they get them in their empireYou're thinking of the Necrons. The Tau have a warp presence and so the warp would still exist even with only Tau.
>>92216288tau have almost nonexistent souls their contribution is so miniscule no chaos god or any god could feed off of them
>>92216288 Yap all you want but none of lore the Tau fans are spewing changes the fact that they are Mary Sues that don’t suit the setting and worst of all are just plain boring both aesthetically and narratively.
>>92216520At least it's more than what chaos gods outside of khorne get out of Tyranids/Necrons by virtue of actually having a scrap of a soul
Decent quality pictures leaked. (top right chest mimic not included in the set, it's a gift with purchase if you make an order through lego.com over a certain price)What's the veredict /tg/?

>>92206577This desu, I hate the current pop culture soup that all things "Nerd" have been forced into. The funko pop effect needs to die.
>>92212689And it's always been retarded. They aren't invested in actually getting people interested in playing the game which is supposed to be full of the sorts of marketable things that would make loyal customers double down on book and merch sales. Right now, they believe that D&D is iconic enough on its own that everyone will just buy it because they think we're still in the era of >OMG I'M SUCH A NERD I WATCH MARVEL MOVIES AND WATCH ONE ANIME ON NETFLIX!! XDBG3 boosted D&D relevance by a small amount, but I don't think anyone who spends the exorbitant cost for these lego sets or the obnoxious blind bags are going to suddenly become interested in playing D&D. They'll like them for their little details and possible integrations with other lego sets, but the "D&Dness" of it won't even register.
>>92194817it was $90 when it came out
I had this set back in 1982. We combined it with some other sets for old Red Box Basic D&D.
