Good afternoon and welcome to /tg/, the board where everything's made up and the experience points are sort of like my calorie count - too excessive to matter!

Today we'll be playing a game called Scenes from a Hat: /tg/ Edition! If you don't know how the game works, we carefully collected suggestions from fellow elegan/tg/entlemen and randomized them in this hat. I'll select the scene suggestions and we'll see what kind of responses we get!

But it isn't? It isn't even possible to PROVE that something reduces the chance of something happened. You can have evidence pointing one way or another, but none of that can conclusively prove it.

Hey /tg/ I want a good name for a weapon. A duergar has a warhammer which he always wields with two hands. It has spikes on one end (like in the picture) and on the other the pointy end of a pickaxe. The thing that is special about it is the rune that it has on the right side which gives it a good amount of fire damage. He will help the party out (If all goes as plant and they don't kill him right away) So it isn't supposed to sound like the weapon of an evil duergar overlord. Any ideas?

So what's the general consensus on this game? Personally, despite the fact that it can be a tad confusing, I think its a good game to get newer players into more complicated board games.

I love it. Lots of fun, not as complicated as other non Parker Bros games.

Though, and I know you probably won't believe this, but I've met three separate people in my life that refuse to play it because it's too scary. A game that is essentially Scooby Doo. All women, all separate instances.

I'm a sucker for coherent fantasy factions. Monsters allied with other monsters and how they interact. Like armies in D&D or mindflyers using umber hulks and mind witnesses to make their empires.

So post your favorite factions and factions you would like to see.

I know the game is somewhat dead, but I like the models and I think it plays pretty gud.
So far I got a single dictator from ebay but I'm thinking of putting more money towards other ships and a few fighter squadrons.
So what is a balanced and lore friendly list I can take? I'm going to paint them in my imperial knight house colors, so it's somewhat a house fleet instead of a naval fleet ( I couldn't find anything with knights and the navy so I'm assuming they either taxi rides or have a personal fleet).
