The marine is way in the back.

There are huge inquisitors around, like the one on vraks.

Because it's terrible artwork.

I can't say for certain but it just looks like he's standing closer to the foreground than the others, giving the impression that he's much larger than he is

Fuck off, Golden Boy!
I defeated bigger and meaner Bloodthirsters in one go, and didn't have my legs broken or my sons cursed by him.

Looks like someone has never heard of Shadowrun or Titansgrave.

Spelljammers, for one.

Pathfinder is coming out with such a system later next year, as is Dreamscarred Press.

Rolemaster had Darkspace, which was a terrifying journey into mindflayer ruled space, where basic Rolemaster magic had little effect and only the ancient secrets of arcane magic had any real potency.

>>50925327
Yeah no, I'm pretty new to tabletops in general. Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll definitely have to take a look at how they handle magic and technology together.

>>50925051

It needs to make sense or the more perceptive players will bombard you with questions and have their immersion broken.

>>50925051

Not even remotely.
If your setting is high magic, then you should focus on making it weird as fuck.
And while I agree that Coasts are great, fucking everything always happens around coasts, so try to remember to put interesting things ON THE FUCKING CONTINENTS.

Also: if you don't have at least *a few* floating Islands/wandering land masses, you're doing it wrong, in my opinion.

Depends on your players.

Some players don't give a fuck, other players start asking questions and not getting immersed.

Alright, so before I get started, let's talk about group comp.

Most of the people playing this time around (planning started April this year) were vets to either my previous game or I'd played with before. For the sake of not embarrassing them here, no names.

-First dude, Texan, was in my first actual Eva game. Played a cold-ass bitch ATT who became a half-angel. He joined late because he felt the itch, but wasn't sure if he'd want to play another Eva game to completion.
-First girl, Brit, was also in the same game. Played the plucky berserker with genetics problems. She was pretty hype for an Eva game, and part of the reason why I put Liberty together.
-My bro, a guy I'd played with in a recent game before this one. He played the Russian neo-spart to my reverse trap prodigy, and we honestly had decent chemistry. Never had a problem with him, continuing not to.
-Second bro, another dude I picked up in that game. Played a chilly survivor christian extremist I fell in love with, even after I made fun of his robot waifu and then later lost the feeling in my legs (those aren't connected). He's quiet, doesn't like loud people, but he was dying for Eva, so I obliged.
-And then new girl - relatively speaking. She was in an Eva game that got aborted early on, because play-by-post, but we kept up with each other because we both liked the same anime and we're depraved lunatics. She also fed my validation as a writer, which helped with things.

The group showed promise when we got together and pitched ideas. Luckily for me, most of the group was already tossing around ideas, save for the Texan and second bro.

Basic plot goes like this (and I'll go ahead and spoil the details because I don't feel like dragging this out very long). It's a not-very-hard sci fi drama:

-In 2000, a rogue planet called Nemesis enters the solar system, locks orbit with Earth the next year, and causes gravitational calamity, wiping out a large chunk of the human population.
-The surviving remnants come back together under several states, the biggest being Wille, in a unified Britannia in England and former France.
-Just when shit's looking good for humanity, despite the floating death star, giant alien monsters, called Outsiders, launch from Nemesis and probe earth for weaknesses. A good chunk of people die, but the first wave is repelled.
-To fight back, Wille brings to bear Evangelions, weapons built specifically on stolen tech and designs from the aliens to fight them on their level.
-Another fight hits in 2023. The first pilots barely eek out a win against the next wave.
-By start, in 2026, our party is up to bat, ready to take on the mantle of pilot from the vets and serve as Earth's first semi-mobile strike force.

God damn could you people just grow up already.

Wow, I'm surprised he's here this early in the thread.

They always have that snarky shit eating grin when they pull out their narset deck.

Can't find a decent pic but I always loved the vertical design of Forerunner Dreadnoughts.

>Favorite Limited format

Well, I only started drafting around Tarkir-block, but for real and serious around BFZ block. Still, I've turbo-drafted since then, and I greatly enjoyed 3xSOI and 3xEMN. KLD has been super so far as well.

>Least favorite
3xBFZ
God, fuck Nu-drazi

>Enjoying KLD?
Yes! G/x (preferably G/B) is my fucking JAM. Best Limited Gearhulk, Riptigers, cubs, Armorcraft judges, Kujar seedsculptors, ambitious aetherborns, lawless brokers, rush of vitality and Subtle strike and Tidy conclusion make me a happy camper.

>Non-traditional archetype
In KLD?
Uh...shit, I don't know. There are a lot of diverse decks where I draft, but I guess in KLD, W/U control/mill?

>Reprints
The Reserved list so we can have cool cards to draft again.

KLD is like half the fun of SOI. 2EMN1SOI kinda sucked because no investigate in EMN.

I've done like 10 draft leagues and every single match is decided by swingy mythics.

Warhammer 40k action figures!

They come unpainted and have less articulation than a dollar store ninja figure but they're collectables so we charge $100 plus tax!

Usually early morning or late evening are my productive times, I rarely put on music as I'll find myself looking for juust the right track and not getting work don, or losing my train of though when a shitty remix sneaks into the playlist.
I watch the models.

Do it with other people. Paint parties can be just as fun as playing, even if the pace might slow down.

>>50909382
This. Or else batch paint in odd batches. What I mean is, instead of painting all shirts one day, stagger your batches. Make a quarter shirts, a quarter pants/boots, a quarter weapons, and a quarter hair/face or whatever. Alternately, get on something like Discord and chat with friends who are also doing other things, if music/movie background noise doesn't entertain you enough. You can also just not batch paint and do a model at a time, which is slower, but you can turn out more unique looking stuff, since everything will be a bit different, even if you use a similar color scheme.

I dunno what else to tell you; different strokes for different folks.

For as much fun and neat ideas there are in the retroclones (and there are a lot of really cool ideas), I happen to have a Rules Cyclopedia and don't mind busting that out every so often. Sometimes, I just like playing "the" D&D, warts and all.

>Retroclone or original games, which do you prefer?
Clones. Creative development on the original OSR games was a collaboration between a small handful of people insulated and inculcated within a narrow range of play, further constrained by the Satanic Panic. There are cool outliers, like the Perrin Conventions/RuneQuest, but ultimately there were about as many people working on OD&D/1e/Basic as there are >publishers< these days. We've come up with a lot of new, interesting stuff that fits the needs and playstyle of the OSR (drop charts, RAtD, OPD, tighter mechanics for literally every aspect of the rules), with an eye to playability rather than precision. And it's fucking good.

There's a place for Moldvay and Mentzer on my shelf, and there always will be. Just as I have my orange-back and black-back 1e books or my binders full of old modules. I still mine them for ideas, and they make a good reference point. But I'd no more run AD&D unmodified these days than G1-4 - shit needs too much hacking for me to enjoy it. Its position as "common reference" has been taken up by LabLord, OSRIC, DCC, and Lamentations (depending on your personal inclinations). Basic has likewise been displaced as an entry-level system. I do know people who play RC and CMI for their general awesome insanity. but that's something that few of the heartbreakers have tried to dupe.
