since you made your own thread instead of shitting up the aosg, I'll answer

Warhammer Fantasy Battles wasn't selling at all. GW had to change something because it was making next to nothing. So they did. Of course, Kirby did it in the most hamhanded way possible, because he is Kirby.

Then Kirby got demoted and Based Roundtree was put in his place. He immediately started offering bundle deals with actual savings. Then he put in place a marketing team that actually does a good job and works with social media. Then he released The General's Handbook, which improved Age of Sigmar by 100000%. Then he brought back Blood Bowl. Meanwhile the whole year had a lot of sweet 40k releases that people really liked (Thousand Sons, Burning of Prospero, Genestealer Cults, Deathwatch...)

So no, GW is not still hell bent on being retarded thanks to a senior leadership change.

Warhammer Fantasy is gone, but it wasn't moving product anyway. Age of Sigmar is actually fun, if you give it a chance and use The General's Handbook. Lots of derpy 40k players and salty WFB players still bash on Age of Sigmar for no reason, but they will do that forever.

40k rules are still a clusterfuck, but it moves product anyway. If GW touches the 40k core rules there will be crying and screaming and whining on a unprecedented scale.

In Age of Sigmar, no armies were "squatted" regardless of what the WFB general says. Some armies are no longer on sale, but they have rules available and may be played anyway, if you can get the models.

>is gw still hell bent on going retard?
Pretty much. You are better off just playing an older version of FB or switching to a game that isn't made by morons.

found the salty wfb player

it is the WFB community's fault their game died off. If they were less cancerous and actually bought stuff, encouraged new players, etc, things never would have went like they did.

I cannot dispute any of your points.

Boomerang was my favorite character in this movie.

Can't agree on DMPC. This is the DMPC. Complete with obnoxious escort mission and "if you tick me off you all die" thing going on.
Paladin is that one contrarian guy who rolled LG character for Evil campaign (and would have rolled CE for Good one.)

Also you forgot that one guy who only showed up for the first session and then we had to have his character die off screen.

The best part is diversity is not just bolting ethnic bits onto your armor.

IMO, the Imperial Guard are the best friends of artists, modellers, and those with imagination.

Poor girl is going to have a miserable time.
I'd have to change all my plans an go stay with my parents instead. They have a bath, aircon and live just a few minutes from several beaches and a relatively clean river.
Though explaining the yellow-red skinned mermaid beauty may be a touch tricky.

Same price as any Chessex set.

>Is Gamescience dead?
It was.

>unreasonable prices
You're looking at old stock that was bought up by 3rd party resellers then relisted at 2-4x the original price. Happened when Gamescience "died" the first time.

It never "died", it just switched owners, then switched back to the original guy.

Production is slowly coming back for different colors.

Repost to make sure it gets read: Unrelated, but I've always wanted to see a Scooby Doo "villain" who wasn't doing anything illegal or even morally reprehensible, he was just dressing up as a monster to keep people away from the treasure he was digging up, which he was legally entitled to and just didn't want anyone to steal it from him.

>>50747550
The same, except with TTRPG mechanics instead of MMORPG mechanics?

Overlord is basically a "Trapped in another world based on a VRMMORPG based on D&D based on the creators RL RPG group" anyways.

>>50747550
wasn't the last arc of pre-duel monsters yugioh basically yugi & friends being trapped in bakura's D&D campaign?

and wouldn't that be a better equivalent?

my Terminator assault squad was butchered by like 3 cultist

Sadly, I haven't played too much yet. As it stands, I've been playing post-penitent crusade Mantis Warriors. The idea being that I work my way up points-wise each successful game to show them recruiting again.
Luckily, my first couple matches have been against a very fun ork player.

In your next game, your PCs are Mars-Corp. employees or civilians who live and work at the "problematic" Way Station #3 along the dusty old Trans-Martian Highway.

Built in Mars-Corp,'s early days on the Red Planet, the Highway and Way Stations are rundown and antiquated but are still seen as a necessary lifeline between Colonies.

The Way Stations are relatively small outposts of about half-a-dozen levels both above and below ground, with vehicle bays, highway maintenance facilities, a food court, a clinic, a communications and weather center and lodging for employees and visitors.

The Highway and Way Stations have become the subjects of a great many Martian myths, but no one station has had as many of these urban legends attributed to it as Station #3.

bump for interest.

Does anyone know any good books on medieval navies and shipbuilding?

>>50705939
>Should a fantasy world follow consistent physical laws or should it be as fantastical as magic allows it to be?
Consistent physical laws if you're trying to make a believable story out of it, without relying on Ex Machina or general asspulls. Same reason you have a well-defined magic system.

>Interspecies mating: does it result in babies?
Uplifted races (Dwarves/Halflings): no, Human + Elves or Beastmen: yes, Beastmen amongst themselves: yes.

I would like to renew discussion from the previous thread regarding the science fiction applications of a portal technology. So far we've determined its useful for unlimited energy, interstellar space travel, and coolant venting.

Previous posters have suggested applications in directed energy weapons and man-portable railguns, but I don't see how the recoil problem is solved in railguns, nor what advantage DEWs have over bullets. I'm not arguing against that- I just don't see the applications yet.

My original post detailing the technology is here:
>>50703605

It's relative power scaling. Not 100% perfect so you might find 2nd level spell that's actually more potent than 3rd level spell but generally the higher the level the more potent the spell.

>What metric is used to determine this?
Either there's some complex formula or game makers just eyeball it.

>>50765036

Basically they measure the difficulty to resist spells, since the save DC is tied to the spell level. Not so in 5e, I think, but I've never played it.

Since most spells don't really have comparable effects (How do you measure the difference between a spell that animates a rope and a spell that lets you talk to animals?), game designers mostly eyeball the relative difference in power and sometimes things like difficulty to cast.
