Simon Miller (To the Strongest! author) used GB plastic horses with Aventine riders for a large part of his Parthain project, though I don't know if the reverse would work. Maybe try asking on the Lead Adventure forum.

What are politics like in your space age setting?

>>93432348
The only space age setting I've run is Star Trek, but I've fleshed out the Federation political system for plot reasons.
Each member of the faction delegates one representative to the Federation Council, the governing legislative body. The Federation works similarly to the EU in that each member has sole authority over their own internal affairs, but there are conditions for joining and a faction can be removed if they renege on those conditions or voluntarily leave. Factions with colony planets do not get additional representatives unless those colonies are fully independent from the home world to the point where they join the Federation as a separate entity.

The main political concerns internally therefore revolve around those colonies: home worlds may resist releasing control over their colony planets, who wish to have equal voice as an independent faction. At the same time some factions consider whether to game the system and have many of their colonies join independently to ensure more of a voice for their species, even if it means less power for the home world. This is by design, as it's part of the Federation's own process for bringing its own colony worlds into the Federation as independent members. The main reason why this came up is for a plot about how one species' colony world was agitating so badly for independence, and the home world being so stubborn in refusing, that it risked causing a full blown war of independence. While it would mean the species would be temporarily suspended, both sides in the conflict saw it as "means to an end" and it was the players' jobs to help find a peaceful solution to the diplomatic crisis (and stop the Romulans who were dicking around, as Romulans do).

Politics are divided in 3 main archetypes.

1. Might is right.

These are your imperial space colonizers who conquer and genocide. Their main goal is infinite growth, and their politicians are your typical evil late late stage capitalism- and world economic forum scum. They are burning through planets fast and dominate the galaxy. Negotiations always fail, but they are done for show anyway.

2. gay space communism
>
these are your typical brainrotted pseudo anarchists. they are the most tyrannical and conniving sons of bitches and their politics revolve around maximizing degeneracy and evading consequences. everyone hates them, yes even they themselves do. they gish gallop gerrymander and pivot all debates and political processes but are nonetheless extremely popular because of drugs, sex, and the allure of virtue through optics. They have no real goal except perhaps constant chaos. Negotiations always fail.

3. it's fucking over
>
These guys are eternal doomers. Their main goal is to try to convince everyone its fucking over, and we need to build a new universe and escape to it NOW just two more weeks bro i promise its fucking OVER. Negotiations usually succeed.

If you even partially think this is a fake meme, why would you believe 4chan of all places?
If you think it's real, which I suspect you do, you're being disingenuous.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. >>93446045 knows, and for the record, vidya coaching from pros is still a thing.

OP, I think you're being disingenuous because deriding a hobby by speaking of it as if it were mere child's play is a tactic to belittle hobbyists and humiliate them. If you genuinely gave anywhere close to a shit about how much of a scam you apparently think this is, you'd characterize this as some cunts vastly overvaluing their shitty discord server and top tips. You should be aware that this is far from an isolated case, and the only reason to ask about it here is to get shitpost material and to contribute nothing of value.

Cool thread.
>>
>>93446419
Yes I think it’s real and went straight to vanguard tactics website cuz I thought it was them but this isn’t their price listing (theirs is even more exorbitant lol). I don’t mean to belittle the hobby as a whole just the absolute state of modern 40k and the prevalence of compfags. Rather telling though that you think competitive / tournament level 40k IS the hobby. Sorry you’re so fucking jaded you can’t even answer a simple question without getting on your soapbox to project your insecurities. I’ll be sure to be more considerate of terminally online faggots next time I try to ask a basic question.

Why? Specifically, I'm talking about post D day stuff, to me it feels way less interesting than other theaters like Russia or the far east. The war is already over and the allies have a huge advantage in materiel. What's the appeal?

Ah yes, but as I said there's a reason for that. Also, the epic "no counterattack with tanks because Hitler is asleep" and basically no air force. Things went much better than the allies expected, but the loss projections for overlord were around 12% losses which would have been a bloodbath by any metric that's not a videogame. In short, it was a cakewalk because of prep time and enemy fuckups.

>I wouldn't enjoy playing as the allies in the western front since you have overwhelming superiority in armor, air support, numbers supplies etc. Even if the scenario itself is balanced the wider context is one where you have very advantage.
You already made that clear in the OP. Many, many other posters have articulated why it doesn't matter to them clearly and in a variety of ways. You should have understood by now but you are determined to go around in circles.

What the fuck is the point? If I buy some shit for Normandy it's not like I'm blacklisted from other campaigns. This is as pointless as it is fucking retarded.

Also as an aside, your logic is flawed. Have different opinions, that's great. How you're justifying it though would apply to many of the other theatres and campaigns you suggested. Hell with the economics of WW2 it would be easy to take a deterministic view of the whole war, but that doesn't really matter at the engagement scales miniatures wargames take place in.

>>93443683
OP is absolutely being more autistic, you probably just agree with him.

You know what to do.

3 is peak players since each person can have a clearly defined third of the party's roles which means less overlap. It also means the group is less likely to split up since that will mean someone is being left alone and thus vulnerable.

As a fellow aphantasia person the goal is to rely on your other senses and/or rely more on maps you've made. Your projector is broken so do not rely on theater of the mind.
When you GM talk about sounds, smells, scents. Using three senses locks people in more and paints a broader picture.

IDK how modern D&D is doing it but in OG Vancian casting, "preparing" a spell was actively holding the concept in your head in a holding pattern in preparation for releasing it on command. It was like twisting your brain into a yoga pose and holding it there, in tension, all day. Learning how to do this at all took years and years of practice, and doing it for multiple spells at a time was incredibly difficult. That's why it takes so much practice to learn magic and why even very powerful wizards can only keep a few spells locked and loaded at a time. They never "forget" their spells.

There was a huge difference between being able to read magic versus actually twisting your brain in such a way as to cast a spell on a given day. It's like the difference between knowing the things that go into tightrope walking and actually walking a tightrope. The knowing part's easy, the doing's hard.
