Why? They literally just released SWA. Are they trying to split the already thin specialist games market?

It would be a much stronger choice to release an "Underhive" supplement for SWA, with a bunch of gang-based "kill team" lists, and an "underhve campaign" rule set.

>>54894595
3-5 yrs is best guess.

Once they broke the seal on Primarchs, you had to guess they would eventually get around to similarly powerful entities in other factions that were previously off-limits.

What else is on that list? Laughing God Avatar? Something like the Beast?

They've had rules for Khaine for a long time, anon.

Stop misusing Carlos

>>54896137
I guess you could say he CARLOSt it!

Yes Anon. Enough with this bait.

Only if it's just the armour that's been scaled up. I want a regular human woman's head in there

This isn't a thread.

Yes board gaming hung around in the post digital world. Variety of reasons- sure socialization, also tactility, cheaper manufacturing, internet-based common interest social groups, other web applications that helped the industry (ie. bgg, kickstarter), the mainstreaming of "nerd culture" because its good for selling shit, etc.

>This isn't a thread.

Yes it is.

Yeah, my friend wanted to practice his on-the-fly DMing, and I helped him

My unitentionally gay dwarf war-cleric...
>got framed for a crime he didn't commit (murdering a prostitute)
>made the police chief very mad (turns out the prostitue was the chief's daugther)
>made the police chief even more mad (told him he was an awful fucking father)
>got sent to prison (I'm honestly surprised the police chief didn't kill me)
>made Lawrence, his cellmate, very mad (told him his name was effeminate)
>broke out of prison with his cellmate (don't ask)
>returned to the scene of the crime (to investigate)
>followed tracks into the woods (police can't do their job properly)
>found some weirdo cultists (with the still living prostitute!)
>fought and killed some weirdo cultists (fudged dice without my DM noticing)
>proved myself innocent (and they all lived happily ever after?)
>Found out that Lawrence, the throw away NPC, is actually the trickster god Loki, and he's basically forced me to be his cleric as punishment for insulting him (now Lawrence/Loki shows up in all of our games)

All in all, it was a lot of fun.

I faintly recollect having done so a couple of times on purpose, but I don't remember the names of the games anymore.
Then there was a bunch of times I did it accidentally when I did chargen and then made up stories for my new dude while learning a new system.

Finally I'd like to mention HTHAD

There are a few attempts at this, like G.U.M.S.H.O.E. They leave cluefinding up to random chance and skill isn't really challenged.

>>54892386

I'd avoid tying much stuff to mechanics if the goal is just crime solving or overcoming logic problems.

Rolling Search is fine when failure is an option but the story can easily progress afterwards, but is worthless when the players absolutely need to find something in order to understand the situation.

Like, failing on a search check to find where the thief went works fine because the players can have a run in with their gang later on and find them that way, but if the players completely miss that the real murder weapon was under a pillow then solving the mystery because a exercise in trying to solve something without the right information.

Just set up a scenario and if you want to use the mechanics, use them to let the players potentially find extra information on clues, not finding the clues themselves. Their job should be finding out how it goes together.

...Wait, which Masks? The one I'm thinking of doesn't really sport player mortality as a core conscern.

We've found that easy clean, chemical resistant, preferably shoulder length, gloves are a neccessity when indulging in "insert (X explosive/incendiary devices) into (creature Y)s (orifice Z)" antics, after our scum lost three fingers to acidic saliva...
