Here's a Drow for ya.
Hi guys, what RPGs and supplements do realm management well? Starting what will probably be a 5E campaign soon and a couple of players expressed an interest in developing these elements organically as time goes on, so I'm interested in games that excel at these mechanics for either ideas or simply playing instead of 5E.
>>52677112
Reign is the usual answer, but I don't like it much.
Cryptomancer has its own communal character sheet for a safehouse, which can be refluffed to "stronghold" pretty easily. That's a bit smaller scale, but better suited to actually telling stories and RPing.
>>52677112
Look up An Echo, Resounding, by Sine Nomine press. It's part of their Red Tide line of books for Labyrinth Lord (a clone of Moldvay/Cook Basic D&D).
It has excellent rules for running nations and other large entities, and tracking interaction between them. Using it with 5e shouldn't be too hard.
>>52677341
Is Labyrinth Lord as a system decent? An OGL OSR game sounds interesting, not sure my players are ready for old school fatality though.
Modern Mardu will never be a real deck, they said.
It's a pipe dream, they said.

Ugh. A universe where 40K is popular enough to have movies of it? Sounds insufferable. I'm glad I don't live in that universe.

If that sounds insufferable then why do you still live in this one? Marvel and marvel movies are objectively worse.

started out my guy with a bolter and carapace but i'm phasing it out now
when your whole team has a red dot they basically have the equivalent of bs10 when their shooting is unmodified, on top of that anyoen within 6 inch can use his leadership and initiative for pinning and break tests. the pinning is huge as that means he projects a 6 inch I4 bubble if he isn't wearing armor which is invaluable if you have carapace on your normal guys
once i play a few more games and roll some more skills on him im buying him a plasma pistol and a power sword and dropping the bolter so he can hide in the back lines and charge in melee if the line is threatened while buffing the fuck out of my gunline
>>52667200
After playing a bunch I believe one plasma, one grenade launcher and one other special weapon, probably another plasma, is best. Grenade launcher with frag for long range mass pinning, and with krak for dealing with Tyranids.
Overwatch plasma hopefully stops a charging tyranid, and the krak grenade launcher/hand held krak grenades will finish them. Gotta keep them in overwatch if there are pinned tyranids because they'll probably get up again.
Lasgun guys are just bodies to get in the way of your special guys, and to hopefully pin whoever they shoot. Give them krak grenades if you fight tyranids
>>52668806
I thought about that, hasn't happened to me but I would say that it turns into two one on one fights. New guy is fighting the new person he charged, and other guy is fighting the other remaining guy. Solves that problem well enough.
2 orks charge 1 guardsman, somehow everyone survives. You charge a guardsman in to help. Now it's two seperate one on one combats. No multiple attacks or +combat modifiers from extra guys.
Quick question what profile do you use for pistols in cc? I have people telling me to use model strength, cause thats how it works in 40k, but I can't find where in the book it says that.

>EVERY FUCKING TIME
I try to ask this question to give everyone the chance to refresh their own memories so that they can maintain their own perceptions of events instead of always having everything told from my perspective.
But it feels crummy since it appears that either the game isn't memorable enough to even be recalled after one week or they just can't be arsed to care.
So, 'Things your players/DM/group does that bug you' thread as well.

My second session of the first campaign I ran for my current group, I started off with a recap of the previous session with an exaggerated fast-paced 1940s news reporter voice.
The players thought it was hilarious and now demand I do that at the start of every session no matter the game.
>>52670189
>one guy pretty much only plays because he doesn't want to feel left out
>yet he keeps calling off the sessions because his girlfriend came over etc at a short notice
>I confront him but he assures me that he actually wants to play and enjoys it
I don't know if we should just cut him loose from the campaign.
>>52670239
Suggest in a polite and friendly manner that it may be a better idea for him to step away from the table until he can sort out his real life things so as not to rob the other players from enjoying the game. After all, it's only a game, and you guys will still be there after he's figured his situation out. And then stop inviting him until he can clearly show that he's gotten his shit together.

Good morning and welcome back to Ask A Judge!
Spoiler-season reminder: I'll do my best to answer questions about spoiled cards, but take those answers with a grain of salt. We don't have the full details on new mechanics yet, and even straightforward-seeming cards might work differently today than they will in 3 weeks.
>>52666106
What's your opinion on the new gods?
Do they feel more or less godly to you?
Given that questions come in threes, what's your favorite three godly but not god type cards?
>>52668270
I think, thematically, they capture the difference between the gods of Space Egypt and the gods of Theros well. They're "Around", they walk among the people (by always being creatures) regardless of devotion, but they won't join the battle unless you're committed to their cause (Solidarity being 'dudes', Knowledge being 'lots of hand', Ambition being 'ready to sacrifice anything for power', Zeal being "FUCK IT GOING ALL IN", and Strength being 'big dudes').
I guess they feel 'smaller', in the sense that they're embodiments of a narrower concept, rather than "the sun", "Death", "Agriculture", etc, but it fits the theism of an Egypt-tinged culture, where Theros gods fit the theism of a Greco-Roman culture.
Divine Verdict, Demigod of Revenge, Deus of Calamity.
Could you explain Gilded Drake to me? I don't get why the "can't be countered" clause is so strange.

I don't care if it was a thing people actually did, mordhau looks dumb as fuck.
>>52649873
Fuck this guy, mordhau is the awesomest thing in the world. There's something visceral about grabbing the sword by a blade and smashing a man's skull with a crossguard.
>>52649788
If there is not at least one spinning flip in a fight, it's not a true victory. Perhaps this is why I'veyet to have satisfying combat.

Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html
