Im about to send my players on a quest next week to hunt down witch. The adventurers have been hired to go kill a witch hiding in the woods nearby a hamlet.
Im a new GM and i would love some hhelp with rounding out and improving this quest.
The players start by entering the hamlet, they will be allowed to enter the forest right away to hunt her down but theres an enchantment that turns you around Lost woods style if you don't know the path.
So they will then ask around the town for how to reach the witch, but the people fear her a little and drawing too much attention might be bad, currently they have the element of surprise on the witch.
with some coercion they will find that one man has spoken with the witch on occasion.
If they fail to coerce any information out of anyone, i don't have a contingency, maybe play someone for the info.
If they speak to the man, he will feign ignorance, a successful persuasion has him say he is friends with her and she's not bad.
A failure will mean he asks them to leave him alone and goes to his home.
inside his home there are many occult symbols and books, as well as what appears to be a hand drawn map that might be what they need.
after passing through the enchanted woods they will come across a small patch of tress where the witch has placed some early warning traps.
Should they pass those they will reach her hut with her two guard dogs and a scarecrow type guard and do a small fight.
Inside the hut the witch will try to reason with them to let her live, claiming she leaves people alone mostly and never harms the nary hamlet.
Should she fail to do convince them they will do combat, she has illusions and ice magics to help her. in the end she will die and the players will walk away with her head for the reward.
i would love some advice on this? i don't feel theres enough challenge in here really. but I'm out of ideas.

Okay. Playing dubs advocate here to beta test your game. If I was your player, 1st thing I'll do is ask WHY we need to kill the witch. What did she do wrong? 2nd, I'll ask WHO paid us and again WHY? If I was That Guy, I'll derail the quest to find out more about the person paying for me to kill the witch. You never know if this some false flag ops or frame job to blame us for something.

>>51312938
This is reasonable to ask, i hadn't thought about WHY the person hired them to kill the witch yet.
i would be a bit more worried about it if the party weren't 90% influenced by money and don't care about morals.
>>
>>51312251
Who sent your players to kill this witch? What is the offered reward? Are the players doing this for the reward itself, or from a sense of Duty? What do the politics of the region look like? What are the religious demographics of the region? How active a role do the gods play in your setting? Are some forms of magic respected or permitted and others are shunned, it is all magic forbidden, or is Magic generally accepted? Ecologically has any major event happened recently like a flood or famine?

Model Requests Edition
>What is Fading Embers?
A /tg/ homebrew wargame setting that started out as another "Let's make a collaborative setting," but quickly became awesome once a surprising amount of lore was generated. Oh, and you can also field an army of MOTHERFUCKING BEARS.
We currently use the Advanced Songs of Blades and Heroes system, and have a WIP roster.
>Previous threads:
1st: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/50647430/
2nd: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/50669075/
3rd Thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/50692803/
Forgot to copy the fourth thread link provided to me before the last thread 404'd, and 4plebs is down.
>Community editable Lore Doc(will be transposed to the wiki... eventually)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qgRwxxpLkYQRlL9XEkam1Oi5YRuweY8Gtg7V4uOTZsE/edit?usp=sharing
Alright, so, after weeks I finally managed to gather Models from TTS, and am working on formatting them for BB3D. If you'd like to make a request for a specific model to be included, give me a link from here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/286160/workshop/
Models that are already going to be included:
Saurian Ancients/Lizardmen PROXY Warhammer Fantasy/Ninth Age(Lizardmen
Dark Souls Character/NPC Models(Knights)
Warhammer Fantasy Armies: The Empire(For Knights)
Miniatures' Skeleton(The Inverse)
Miniatures' Demons(For Visamti)
Warhammer Fantasy Armies: Warriors of Chaos(Knights of Zelthan plus Visamti)
Skyrim Animals I(Bear Model for Yonas)
So, from here on out the main things need to be getting the Wiki page in order, and finishing stat blocks. I'm pretty swamped(Which is why I haven't been able to post this thread) so I won't be able to do much other than get the models ready for you guys.

How would you go about representing an Old One in a game by making it operate on a completely different rule-set to that of the game you're introducing it in?

>>51312046
I like the idea.
Make the card draws culminative with passing turns, too. On turn one, you drew a four of clubs. On turn two, your draw is a four of clubs and the jack of spades. On turn five everybody has a five card hand and compares them; something especially hideous happens to whoever has the worst hand. The Old One draws extra cards and assembles the best possible hand out of them.
Half way through the battle switches over to beer pong where the PC cup formation is an elder sign and the Old One has a random clusterfuck of cups.

Tyberos the Red Wake
Vs
Smashfucker Prime
I postulate to you, /tg/ that with cheerleader squads, Tyberos would win, and in a manfight, Tyberos would at least draw in one round.
Ignoring psychic shit, throw Smashfucker and his command squad against Tyberos with his buddies out of a Land Raider, 6 on 6
For the sake of arguement we can put Tyberos as having completed what he needed for Rage to take effect. We could also say Smashfucker is on bikes (Meaning no Cataphractii rerolls) and give him his bonus to FNP from warlord trait.
Tyberos hits first, throwing down 7 attacks hitting on 3+ with re-rolling 1s. Odds are better than not that he's getting 6 hits to land and wounds on 4s with rerolls, so give him 4 against the squad. No saves allowed because AP3 vs 3+ so they get 4 casualties off a 4+ FNP. IF one of those wounds falls on Smashfucker or his Apothecary, or god forbid both, he's down to just his own FNP. Likewise his squad is down to either 4+/5+ FNP depending on apothecary. But that soon changes.
At I4 step the cheerleaders strike.
5 Claws throw down 20 attacks at 4+ with rerolls on 1s, assuming 13 hits. And that averages to a whopping ~10 wounds (13/2 = 6.5 * 1.5) against no saves. That wipes Smashfucker's brigade out on its own by law of averages.
When Smashfucker gets his swings in, he's gonna kill only one or two terminators.
Next round Tyberos IDs him with 6 fist attacks. That is if his squad leaves him anything to hit.
Inverse in 1v1, Tyberos would need 5 claw attacks to take off two wounds before striking at the same time to ID Smashfucker at I1 and punch each other out.
Thoughts?

Design setpieces and plot points you want to cover. Then try to introduce them as organically as possible. If you can't fit a point in at one setpiece, do it at another. Don't put down a strict itinerary, because that will fall apart. Be flexible in your presentation of what you want to get across.
>>
Create plot points and a bunch of data about those plot points. Here's an example:
>Necklace
>Cult
>Altar
>Demon boss fight
The party fucks out of the original starting town without finding the Necklace. They instead find it in the dungeon they were looting. It points signs to a cult nearby and it's urgency. If your players are not utter twats they'll pick up on this plot hook. They investigate the cult but for some reason pick the wrong town. Well they read the original map upside down so it's the right town! They kill cultists and find the altar somewhere. The altarstarts glowing and THEN the boss fight happens.

Literally fuck off and be a supercomputer.
If you're not planning the 20 most likely different paths that your party can take, you're not working hard enough.

I'm looking forward to disciples of Tzeentch, unfortunately I'm flat broke. Still, I'm wondering about the minis for it, Kairic acolytes have plenty of options, halberds, shields and dual-blades, but is there really only one way to build the ogroid thaumaturge? And are you going to actually need a Kairic acolyte kit to convert tzaangors? Seems like there's not a lot of models in this particular range.

Dumb question, but I just need it to be clear: "Stormhosts" and "Strike Chambers" are essentially chapters and companies respectively, correct? And Lord-Celestants are basically captains, while Lord-Commanders are chapter masters?

There's a fair bit:
-ogroid
-tzaangors (we are getting a box just for us)
-kayric acolytes
-summoner
-skyfires
-enightened dues
-curseling
-magister
-sorcererlord
-Kayros
-LoC
And then all StD with mark of tzeentch.
