A long 4 hr game can only get one play every 4 hours, while a 15-min filler will get 16 plays in the same amount of time.

It is 311 years since the Battle of Ramillies was fought during the War of the Spanish Succession. For the Grand Alliance – Austria, England, and the Dutch Republic – the battle had followed an indecisive campaign against the Bourbon armies of King Louis XIV of France in 1705. Although the Allies had captured Barcelona that year, they had been forced to abandon their campaign on the Moselle, had stalled in the Spanish Netherlands and suffered defeat in northern Italy. Yet despite his opponents' setbacks Louis XIV was desirous of peace – but he wanted it on reasonable terms. For this end and in order to maintain their momentum, the French and their allies took the offensive in 1706.

The campaign began well for Louis XIV's generals: in Italy Marshal Vendôme had defeated the Austrians at the Battle of Calcinato in April, while in Alsace Marshal Villars had forced the Margrave of Baden back across the Rhine. Encouraged by these early gains Louis XIV urged Marshal Villeroi to go over to the offensive in the Spanish Netherlands and, with victory, gain a 'fair' peace. Accordingly, the French Marshal set off from Leuven at the head of 60,000 men and marched towards Tienen, as if to threaten Zoutleeuw. Also determined to fight a major engagement, the Duke of Marlborough, commander-in-chief of Anglo-Dutch forces, assembled his army – some 62,000 men – near Maastricht, and marched past Zoutleeuw. With both sides seeking battle, they soon encountered each other on the dry ground between the Mehaigne and Petite Gheete rivers, close to the small village of Ramillies.

Villeroi assembled his forces in a concave formation, with the right and left flanks further forward than the centre. Both French flanks used rivers and marshes to their advantage, preventing the Allies from outflanking them.

bummer that scatter is going away, but what why not just make it easy on all of us and use 20 inch rapid fire guns? not a bif difference and it avoids half inches, which are not in the rules really. 10 inch pistols would be nice too. losing 1 inch compared to a regular pistol isn't much at all.

>any way, i'll go through my folders and dump anything i find neat.

Well i mean look at him, he is the kind of guy that would use magic to torture anyone who said anything bad about him if you as the party leader were not around to stop him

Plus hes got a nasty case of gravely voice and the mumbles

I don't have the obligatory "this is bait" reaction image on hand, but pretend I posted it.

I don't like Blue Rose because I'm not the target audience. There's just not really anything there for me. I don't like the style of fantasy they were going for, and I'm not a homosexual who needs to fight back against Catholicism.

I will give them credit for including magic dolphins and implying people fuck those dolphins on the reg, though. That's some progressivism right there.

And while it's hamfisted about being a Liberal gay suetopia, it's not as bad about it as Beast: the Whatevering from Onyx Path is.

I'm not an attention-desperate teenage girl or 40-something housewife in an unfulfilling marriage, so much like the Twilight books, there's nothing here to appeal to me.

And I'm actually female, if anons can believe that.

Haven't heard anything about the new release. The original was one of the better designed iterations of the D20 system. The setting seemed like a socially progressive take on LotR, and I haven't read any of the associated genre's fiction so I can't say if it was true to genre or not, but since LotR is not my bag, neither was this.

Take any and all advice you are given with a hefty amount of salt.

GMing is more art than science, and there is no one 'right' way to do it. You might get sincere advice from a veteran GM who has been gaming for decades that will completely fall flat if you try it with your group because of a difference in playstyles.

This doesn't mean they were wrong. but it highlights the importance of context. Be willing to try things out and fool around and make mistakes. Communicate clearly with your group that this is a learning experience for you, get feedback from them on what works and what doesn't, and be willing to collaborate in learning together how to create an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

>>53485017
Just fucking do it. Most of the theory/prep stuff is gonna be pretty useless before you get some actual experience.

If you wanted to learn how to ride a bike, you get on a fucking bike and figure it out. You can't just spend a month reading books about biking before you start riding.

Once you've actually ran a game, then come back to /tg/ and ask for advice about the stuff you want to improve. Our advice will still be garbage, but it will probably be slightly useful garbage.

>>53485017
>Know what type of game your players want
>Learn to improvise as well as use your player's ideas/suggestions to create scenarios.
>If you find players aren't doing anything at all, don't be afraid to push an event onto them
>Don't over describe areas unless asked. Give a short description and mention the important aspects
>short lists of names, traits and personalities will be very helpful
>NPC dialogue does not have to be strictly you talking as the npc. Feel free to summarize what he's saying as well. But do voice out the important lines if you can.
>If players are quiet or does not actively engage in roleplaying, try to initiate dialogue with them first.

Mostly it depends on your players and the setting and what not. Keep some essential rule tips written or easily accessible without having to flip through a ton of pages, but also rely on common sense or consistency as well. The most important thing is to have fun with it and don't treat your players like an audience.

PART ONE: THE WOLF LORD
In the Space Wolves, Great Companies change hands often. As one Wolf Lord falls and adds his name-stone to the Grove of Heroes, his successor reinvents the Great Company in his own image. His heraldry becomes their heraldry, his tactics become the company's tactics. In essence, the Wolf Lord is your Great Company personified in a single astartes.

WHEN WAS THE GREAT COMPANY FOUNDED?
Most Wolf Lords have reigned for no longer than a few centuries at best. A rare few may have risen to power in ages ago, were lost to a tragic warp accident, and re-emerged in the modern era to fight again.

WHAT ARE YOUR WOLF LORD'S ORIGINS?
All men of Fenris are known for their ferocity, but it takes a truly exceptional warrior to draw the interest of the Sky Warriors. What was it about your Wolf Lord that lead to him be selected as a Space Wolf?

Someone give me a tasty run down of flower court apps. The celebrity apps!

>>53483160
Let's ignore the celebrity apps and instead go for the ones we know nothing about!

>>53483176
Who cares about those? They're already accounted for in the OP.

You play with en passant right?

>>53482427
47%+18%+31.5%= 96.5%?

Who wins the other 3.5%?

At the very top level of chess 31.5% chance of winning really is a lot for Black, especially when coupled with 18% chance that Black will draw.

Most GMs inherently dislike gambit openings because they're too risky...you either win or lose, there's no in-between. They prefer an opening which gives White a small chance to win, a very large chance to draw, and no chance for Black to win.

Also keep in mind the trickle-down effect--amateur players typically like to use the same openings as the big boys, which means a lot of Ruy Lopez and Sicilian. If Magnus Carlsen started suddenly using the Center Game, you can bet the popularity of that opening would blow up overnight.

White puts himself at an inherent disadvantage with this opening--there are a number of ways in which Black can get a good and essentially even game, so by playing KG, White is engaging in a lot of risk with a low chance for reward.

Database stats are not a good gauge of anything since a lot of the King's Gambit, Center Game, etc games on chessgames.com were played back in the 19th century with opening lines that have since been refuted.

Do you want the anime-style where there are no humans and it's just exploration and fighting Ceruleans, or do you want the mobile game story where there are humans around to influence Friends?

>>53482446
Anime mostly. The focus on exploration and meeting new Friends is the real draw.

>>53481032
They claim they're going to update all current models.
It does depend on how current they mean by current though. And any really specialist stuff from forgeworld (especially xenos) is going to be left in the dust.
Space marines are probably going to be safe, although you might have to use the standard weapons.

>>53481032

Is that not the one with the power sword and the power fist with a gun on it? Just run him as the new Chadmarine captain, he has that exact same armour. Just raise him on his base a bit to get the height right or extend his legs.

>>53481032
You'll be able to use him as a normal termie captain. Dont expect new special rules.
