Glorantha doesn't do medieval. Glorantha does vikings.

There is a distinct lack of castles and knights and ladies. If you can stomach vikings and halls and cattle instead, RuneQuest is decent.

Some absolutely adore its very deep setting, though I personally can't be bothered. The rule system is decent and work decently. Read the setting and decide if you are okay with dream quests, duck people, dragons and weirdness.

half of RQ editions are setting agnostic and can do any pre-industrial period equally well.

And in case of glorantha, it's not vikings, it's bronze age mixed with lot of weird mythological shit that is even hard to describe in short

Vikings are pretty fucking medieval buddy.

My number 1 rule about cosplay (if you're using it for cosplay) is to never ever make anything so heavy that it's inconvenient to carry around. And it's always worth having some way to hang it (comfortably) so you don't actually have to carry it with your hands. So solid metal or wooden anything is out of the question. Even if you're keeping it around for display I wouldn't even build it out of metal.

I would start with gluing together a bunch of PVC foam chunks and carve out the shape of what you want. Because it sounds like you have access to a machine shop i would just use a foam core and fabricate a metal exterior because real fucking metal always looks better than painted foam.

I wish I had a machine shop. Got a wood shop but when it comes to cosplay the only real application is turning something or making small badges and such.

>>52267987
Be careful about the ATF.

>>52268079
Yep i was planning on building a shell from thin steel and pumping insulation foam inside

>the only real alternative

You need to learn more systems. Why not check out something like a reaction system, which is commonly seen in modern wargames, for instance? Here's an example of one such system.

Then there are phased combats, and simultaneous resolution, and no-initiative cinematic systems, and probably some more besides.

Tick systems tend to be clunky and difficult to balance. Honestly they seem to work better in videogames than tabletops.

>>52267795

We can tell this hasn't been playtested because it's one of those things that sounds great in theory/whiteroom but fails miserably when you're trying to manage a 10-person combat where 4 people are trying to manage one complicated character a piece and a 5th person is trying to manage 6 different simple characters.

Real life doesn't work so well on CRON systems. Trust the playtests, they show the truth.

Kobolds

Gnomes:
>magic n' shit
>know lots of facts
>fine taste in luxuries

Halflings:
>magic is no replacement for cleverness
>know lots of truth
>fine taste in food

I really like gnomes as npcs. Kooky tinkerers or wacky pranksters or whatever. and if youre leaning into the fey aspect it can be cool but I just feel like gnome player characters have a tendency to be disruptive in a way that can frustrate the other party members.

Halflings on the other hand are just absolutely perfect for player characters

>Then falls back to asleep because it is the weekend and it doesn't feel like getting up.

Just to be seal once more.

It turns out the world is its metaphysical alarm clock, and all the destruction it wreaks is the ancient evil fumbling for the snooze button.

I'm getting the terrain for sure to use in 40k. Hopefully I can get more than one set, and for a good deal. If I can get the rules too to play Necromunda once in a while that'd be cool as well. Have no use for the models though which are no doubt packaged into the price.

Yea shitty old ass Orks and Scouts are super uninteresting, I just want the rules. Hoping for a Necro supplement pretty hard and it would be fun to actually be able to go into a GW store again I think ill play a human or cult gang in the default box and use my old Necro minis

The issue has never been, "Can it be done?" because it absolutely can be done, and has before. There are all sorts of devices that use artificial muscles and artificial synapse tissues to move limbs as if they're real, and enable their users to have an extremely fine degree of control.

The issue is, "Can it be done cost-effectively?" which is an entirely different question all together.

TL;DR the answer to the last question is, "We're getting there." Research into stem cells, polymers, and biomechanical systems are advancing daily, but shit is still just too expensive to make large-scale for the average person.

>>52266370
This. I'd give it about 15-20 years until a reasonably fine-control prosthetic would be in the price range that an insurance company might pay for it or could be reasonably afforded by someone in the middle class.

>>52266370
Control is a huge issue. Reading electric stimuli through remaining flesh has a certain bandwidth limitation, and is inaccurate, and the user has to be retrained in the limb's use in an awkward way.

Other crap like plugging wires directly into the nerves instead builds up scar tissue and isn't quite figured out yet. One promising solution is plugging crap directly into the brain, like the Braingate from DARPA, which you might find amusing.

We can build really damn fine, dexterous, sexy, vibrating limbs, it's just how they are controlled and whether or not they have any sensory feedback that is the issue. Someone actually knowledgeable on this can feel free to correct me.

I just want to shoot another thanks to the anon who gave us HH7: Inferno. I was looking online for a really high quality version of the OP pic, and the one in the .pdf is essentially the best out there.

Anyone have any recommendations on what colours you'd use to get that scheme down on your models? I'm not that good at judging it by eye.

>>52265885
Do what? Kill yourself, burn down the local GW store, or both?

>>52265926
Both.

It depends on your players

Ideally I guess it should be no longer than what they could read on a lunch break. It's not like you could give them a fucking 300 pages setting book anyway, right?

You just need to answer these questions.


What is the deal with my cleric's religion?
Where can we go to buy standard equipment?
Where can we go to get platemail custom fitted for this monster I just befriended?
Who is the mightiest wizard in the land?
Who is the greatest warrior in the land?
Who is the richest person in the land?
Where can we go to get some magical healing?
Where can we go to get cures for the following conditions: poison, disease, curse, level drain, lycanthropy, polymorph, alignment change, death, undeath?
Is there a magic guild my MU belongs to or that I can join in order to get more spells?
Where can I find an alchemist, sage or other expert NPC?
Where can I hire mercenaries?
Is there any place on the map where swords are illegal, magic is outlawed or any other notable hassles from Johnny Law?
Which way to the nearest tavern?
What monsters are terrorizing the countryside sufficiently that if I kill them I will become famous?
Are there any wars brewing I could go fight?
How about gladiatorial arenas complete with hard-won glory and fabulous cash prizes?
Are there any secret societies with sinister agendas I could join and/or fight?
What is there to eat around here?
Any legendary lost treasures I could be looking for?
Where is the nearest dragon or other monster with Type H treasure?

Big Apple Wasteland was a good homebrew.
