I am going for a sugar-coated fantasy horror setting.
dont ask why, just post pics for inspiration
>>53447831
I am missing the "horrible abomination" part. Just some cute little animal girl.
posting some stuff to get the thread going
>>53447853
i mean the pink thing beside her.
context and combination is important for that kind of thing. Both of them where exposed to eldritch magic that deprived them of their humanity, one more than the other, while still looking cute on the surface.
that's why "sugar-coated horror"
I know that the Caiphas Cain novels have been out for ages but I've only just picked Hero of the Imperium up and holy fuck.
I'm only 50 pages in and I am in love. The action, the dialogue, the humor. By the emperor's balls this books great.
I need more TG, and I need it now. Suggest books (I've got Gaunt on my todo list.)
Let me bump the request of anything on the level of Cain.
I know his character is a mix of Black Adder and Steel Rat by Garry Garison.
>>53447449
Please don't fuck Cain. The Inquisition might not like it.
>>53447449
Well... there is a second omnibus.
How did your last game go?
Were you white? How'd you lose the knight (or is that just an error).
Also, black is either a very young child, has never player before, or is literally retarded. Whoever won this should feel no joy in the "accomplishment."

>Were you white? How'd you lose the knight (or is that just an error).
I was white, and gave up the knight to get the black king out into the open.
>Also, black is either a very young child, has never player before, or is literally retarded. Whoever won this should feel no joy in the "accomplishment."
Black is my dad. We play a lot: it's not uncommon for one or the other to fuck up really badly, as you can see here.
My 4 year old got bored (it's too abstract for him), so I took over and played against my 7 year old. I eventually need to let her win one.

Why is the tower so small? What purpose does it fill?
>>53441427
The necromancer probably spent all his gold on wenches and flin, and couldn't afford a bigger one.
>>53441427
they're bigger on the inside
most buildings in TES game suffer from TARDIS syndrome but velothi towers are one of the biggest offenders
I assume they were just outposts in remote locations which might or might not have a few shacks surrounding them, forming a small village. Rogue mages like squatting in them.

What do you guys think?
>>53439193
There's a lot that looks good, the colours, the gore in particular. Be careful with the thickness of your paint though, it looks like you're losing some detail in their faces.
I would really like to do my necrons up as the mephrit dynasty and I'm reading thru the painting guide in White Dwarf 46 and I'm having difficulty translating the paints over the name changes as I'm new.
They say to use Deathworld Forest as a basecoat for the green bits, but GW only sells it as an air paint. Whats the green base coat equivalent? Castellan green? I only have waagh flesh and caliban =(

1. What's more important--the feel of a game or the balance of a game?
2. What are (You) best at? Writing? Art? System design? How does this affect you game?
3. What are you currently most proud of in your game?
I wonder if this lull is due to approaching college finals and job searches.
>>53394802
That would make sense.
>>53393708
>1. What's more important--the feel of a game or the balance of a game?
I think the two are pretty intertwined. I'd say at the start of a project, however, that focusing on the feel should be the priority. Once you've laid the groundwork for a game that feels right, then you can worry about balancing.
>2. What are (You) best at? Writing? Art? System design? How does this affect you game?
I like to think I'm pretty all right at system design, compared to abysmally mediocre at writing and terrible at art. When designing, I like to focus on the mechanics and build them up to feel as though they belong in the same game and lend themselves toward ease of play while still being interesting. My main downfall, however, is realizing I spent so much time finetuning the idea of a mechanic only to realize I've broken the others or put myself into a rough spot with adding the next one.
>3. What are you currently most proud of in your game?
I haven't had the time or confidence to get a playtest going, but I think my initiative system is pretty good on paper.

So the rumour about some vehicle weapons only being able to be fired if units were embarked IS true, just awfully specific. I expect we'll see other vehicles with similar rulings too, chimera lasgun arrays are an obvious choice.
I like Orcs and things involving Orcs. How do NPCs in your setting feel about Orcs and Half-Orcs (if applicable)?
They are subhuman trash and so are their bastard halfbreed offspring. All should be put to the sword
>>53449599
They're German expies in whatever era of history the game is set in.
>>53449599
They all recently got wiped out alongside the other Beastmen, as they had been granted their strengths by infernal compact. When the nuclear-tier thaumatological superweapon went off, they died. Horribly and painfully. From parent to child, none spared.

Reminder to ignore bait, unless it is masterfully crafted.
in the last thread people were bitching that no one uses scatter terrain. Why would you want/not want that in your game?
>>53308667
I think the main issue is that either A) people forget, B) they can't seem to make it fair on both sides, or C) they've just been playing without it for so long that it'd almost be like relearning the game, in terms of new strategy and tactics.
>>53308723
How does it make it like relearning the game in regards to tactics? and couldn't you use the non road parts from the maps by Hawk as pseudo-scatter terrain?
What is a simple system to teach people the basics of roleplaying, in the world of Avatar?
I'm thinking Fate might be a really good pick, but I think it might be too "meta" for someone completely new to PnP RPGs.
We played it with Savage Worlds, worked pretty well
It's also a system I'd reccomend for beginners
Fate is probably the best system for this. That or Wushu. Fate will make sure its not ALL BENDING ALL THE TIME and non-benders will still make some interesting opponents. The mechanics are also geared towards interacting with the environment, so that's plus.
>>53461723
>>53461773
i would not recommend Fate for the sole reason that it does not represent mainstream RPGs at this point. Savage Worlds is much more suitable. other than that, i would recommend some straight-forward d100 like BRP.
