Trench Crusade General - /trench/Let's Make A Warband Generator Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online, but are split between the website and the discord. They have all been collected here for your convenience:https://mega.nz/folder/70QH0BBa#Eg-blxYQKkY_C02wErnFTQ>third party sources for making trenchers:https://pastebin.com/YzXPVUAc>Trench CompendiumCompendium: https://https://trench-companion.com/>Thread Question:You have to sign up to be a mook (wretched, yeoman, trooper, etc) in one of the factions, who you picking?
>>96662326>TQMongrel Supplicant, become the beast you are.
did the hype for this game die out already?
>>96665410Everyone's kinda just waiting for the book to begin shipping this holiday rn
>>96662653From what little lore we have, are they having a shit time being beast-men? Or is the idea "they dont care how they are, they dont really have complex thoughts anymore".>>96665410>>96665861Last anyone mentioned they're in the 'going back and forth with the printers when the system says something is over the margins' stage
>>96666753How trying to ascend in the path is described as walking through a labyrinth blind and you can cock it up by taking the wrong turn and getting stuck in an evolutionary dead end. It ultimately depends on how aware the individual is of their fuck up, which can vary
>>96665410the degenerated anti-christian propaganda killed it
>>96667494(you)
>>96667386I think I'd be fine devolving into some sort of primordial bottom feeder, at least compared to what its like if you fuck up in the Grail, Court, or Legions.
>>96667494>>96668696This is actually true though anon.>>96665861Also a bit upset that the physical book has taken this long. Just bought to support but this delay is pretty huge.
>>96666753Mostly the latter. The Beast views sentience as a disease, so reverting to mindless sub-animal tier behavior is in fact a blessing in its eyes.
>>96669334Yeah that makes sense.Out of all the hell factions, as a human I get joining the beasts the most, or metamorphosis potentially."Hey things suck, what if you just didnt care about it and lived wild" is a better pitch than "Hey things suck, what if you lived under constant torture and threat of slavery and death to potentially maybe be like 2 rungs higher"
>>96666753Depends do you want to give up your intelligence. I think most are just dumb beasts.
>>96665410There arent plastic kits, lore wise and faction wise it still needs a lot of expansion to really get to people, also I dont sit in the shitcord or whatever but all that drama I keep hearing about is probably not helping either
>>96670196At least they post regularly on other platforms, not just discord. Even ignoring their specific discord its always annoying when a game company requires you to trawl through their discord jsut to know anything about the actual game.
