I see a lot of complaints about mono-pose figures on /tg/ especially since they kill conversions, so /tg/ let's see all those conversions you've done!
Monopose is fine for converting, here's a chosen of chaos.

Why are most modern fantasy settings inspired by Tolkien/medieval instead of Howard/prehistory
Because The Lord of the Rings was an enormous commercial success and defines modern fantasy fiction.
>>55121053
Because they based Dungeons and Dragons off of LotR lore, and Dungeons and Dragons is the game that was shoved into the public consciousness because of outrage and controversy, so it's the game that everyone heard about, and therefore the one that infected all forms of media. The interesting part is that Ultima actually penetrated Japanese culture first, so you see a lot more of that dark inspiration there.
>>55121118
>Because they based Dungeons and Dragons off of LotR lore
Nope. They threw in elves and orcs as a sop to Rings fans but it's much more inspired by American fantasy like Howard and especially Leiber.

Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. The Kickstarter was nearly 300% funded, and we're on the fast track to kicking ass baby.
Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.

Or, for that matter, giant elves? Or giant necromancers? Or giant orcs? Why do most giants seem to just be giant humans?

The Judges in Judge Dredd are the good guys.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
>>55113244
>good guys
>not the best guys
enjoy your cube scumbag.
Well actually the canon good guys would probably be the Oz judges as in Judge Dredd Australia is the exact same post-apocalypse which makes it a paradise.
>>55113244
That GW Judge Dredd RPG is so great. Here is a short list of reasons why you shouldn't bother with any of the other ones:
>Focuses on the buisiness and life of being a judge, doesn't get wishy-washy with playable citizens or anything.
>Runs on a highly specialised variant of the WFRP rules customised to reflect judging very well.
>Very low lethality for the bad guys. It is so incredibly rare to actually kill any one because of the games focus on making arrests, how scary judges are (they have a presence stat which can make perps surrender immediately), subduing techniques, and sentencing. Very few perps are mad enough to risk death.
>A unique and completely brilliant initiative system. In fact, a character's initiative is thier *health*. As they get battered they react slower and get fewer and fewer actions.
>You are the Law!
I recommend trying it out with some folk who are game for it. You'll have a blast!
Sorry, lost all my pics of Dredd himself. Have a perp instead!

I'm sad at the moment. I've been playing dredge a long time now and I absolutely love it, but I would really like to build another deck. I've tried MUD, DnT, Delver, Miracles(when top was legal), Burn, Reanimator and Storm, but none of them have hit in the sweet spot as well as good old dredge.
Blood moon type of decks seem too similiar to MUD, that I don't even bother trying it. BUG leovold type decks are too expensive. What are my choices anymore?
I just love how dredge goes from being a nuts draw machine into grind opponent out. Especially now that I've been playing reactive cards main. I would like to see another deck with various possible playlines.

>I just love how dredge goes from being a nuts draw machine into grind opponent out. Especially now that I've been playing reactive cards main
do you have a list? I've been messing around with manaless dredge for fun, and while it's neat I haven't gone to play at my LGS with it since I want to play magic and not get BTFO by hate so I've been thinking about picking up the 4 LEDs for real dredge

Good god, Michael bay might be PERFECT for directing a 40k movie.
>>55107556
>>55107597
He would be PERFECT for an Orks movie! Doesn't need to worry about more then a paper thin plot, plenty of explosions, and he can make things look as confusing and/or ramshackle as he wanted and it would still make sense.
Hell, have the Sisters be the ones fighting the Orks and you can even get some of the titillation he likes too.

We finally get to see the other two skirmish upgrades for iconic figures they've been promising, and it's no surprise they're for Han and Chewie. Han is an absolute beast with his upgrade, possibly able to get three strong attacks in a round. He might die fairly quickly still, but he should put out some serious damage.
>>55103871
Chewie's upgrade knocks off some of his defense, but it's worth it for the big discount, increased offense, and guarantee of drawing his command card in your opening hand.
And both Han and Chewie can benefit tremendously from the excellent command cards available to smugglers.
>>55103943
We also got a preview of the other two new Rebel heroes for skirmish, after seeing Ko-Tun with the announcement.
I think Jarrod is the one that will see the most play, since he's a good fit in a Spy list and probably tough enough for his cost. Drokkatta has excellent firepower, but he's competing for a spot with nuHan and nuChewie. Ko-Tun has good abilities and a nice long-range attack, but can't risk getting caught up close with that low health pool.

My cleric had battled through an enchanted forest to a shrine containing a non-hostile dryad hottie. She kept complimenting my character and saying something about how she'd love to help him rest. I looked over my hp and mana, and kept politely refusing because he didn't really need rest. It turns out she was trying to bang my character right there, but it went completely over my head OOC.

Request for a Dacian wielding a falx (2 handed sword/polearms weapon) as a gladiator. Gladiator diaper, sandals, bare chested, pointy helmet with a face mask, segmented arm or leg armor. Thank you! I'm trying to come up with new gladiatorial fighting styles.
A robot cowboy with cowboy boots, poncho, and cowboy hat.

Requesting a redraw of this guy without his mask, think Kafei from majoras mask but as a young adult.
I'm feeling shitty about my home game right now. I wanna hear other stories to make myself feel less shitty. I'll start though.
>Have this one player I can't stand
>Always wants to order food, wants us all to pitch in for pizza, even though he always bitches about how broke he is
>Plays an uninteresting character that's basically him without any flaws
>He's interrupted very serious RP moments others are having with shit on his phone, speaking of which, he goes on his phone the second something doesn't involve him
>Bitches OOC about the wizard always running to the back of fights, even though the wizard has 5 less AC than him and half the amount of HP
>Ruins social, interrupts me when I explain settings, and complains about dumb shit during combat, somehow ruining all 3 pillars of the game
I could go on but you already get the picture. If it was like one or two things, I would just tell him to fix them, but I could probably list 20 things he does that I can't stand. I wish I could kick him but his friend who also plays is a great player/guy, but doesn't seem to mind his shit.
How's your group anon?
When it comes to out of game interruption I simply, kindly remind everyone at table we are all here to play "insert game". Please keep all off game topics on hold until a break or we are finished. Any decent person who is there to play should understand this. If this doesnt work remind the one person whos interrupting again what you're all there for. Single them out, if they are intelligent and mature they will feel a little embarasses and comply. If they are selfish and arrogant they wont, then its easy to kick them from the group. They've proven they are not interested in playing the game like everyone else. Nothing wrong with taking control of your table when you're the GM. You'll thank yourself later by doing so.
>>55100144
I agree with this. I don't mind when players use their phones for a little bit, they obviously won't be entertained for a whole 5 hour session, but I should probably be more strict.
>>55099943
Yeah I have a guy like that
>Plays shitty punk rock on his phone when he gets bored during combat
>Starts watching lets play videos and tries to show other players who are trying to concentrate on the game outside of combat
>Doesn't quite understand the concept of turns and doesn't understand why he can't make an action during someone else's turn
>Frequently underestimates enemy hit points and gets mad when they take more than 3 hits to go down
>Gets mad when he doesn't get the finishing blow on an enemy. Literally accused rogue of kill stealing once
>Always tries to kill every enemy with le epic finishing moves which take him 20 seconds to describe
I suppose I've kept him around because 1. he's a good friend of mine, 2. he's the only one who actually tries to roleplay, even if he's not very good at it and 3. It's his first time playing a TTPRPG. I reckon all these gripes will wear off over time.
