??? a collection of fairy tales that seems really hard to find online.

Which amazing power ideas are hidden inside of them?

>as much as we all love GW

I can't remember the last time anyone said anything more positive about them than 'they're sucking a little less now'

'What was the last warhammer game you played?'

>>50711098
browse some discussions outside tg, plenty of fanboys around

Well, the most recent game on that list is from 2010 so you tell me.

>>50710895
Needs Crusader Kings 2, FTL: Faster Than Light, Long Live the Queen, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Hotline Miami, and Elona.

Distant Worlds
Kerbal Space Program

I'm a big fan of playing Lord of the Rings Online music, that shit is great.

Althougj last session we put on that yule log channel and played Christmas music because we were playing some DCC holiday modules. Talk about being comfy.

I've been really into dungeon synth stuff recently; its goal is to like recreate a fantasy atmosphere. Depressive Silence are the most well-known group I think; I really like Daoine Sidhe, Caduceus, and Solanum. Also, this plunderphonics dude named chris††† released an album that really sounds like dungeon synth called "a better place."

Country music is best travel music

>Swamp Drake Sword
>This bog iron sword sheathed in alligator leather is heavy and pitted with rust, and yet will not break. Although it seems like a normal sword, instead of cutting it violently rips and tears the flesh of an enemy, snapping tendons and pulling bones and muscle apart.

>BEGGAR’S FIRE

>Beggar’s Fire is a magical inscription placed on roughened animal hide that can be struck on an object like a match to cloak the object in flame. In truth, Beggar’s Fire is a blanket term for a great many similar magical hides, and can produce such effects as applying lightning or corrosive acid. Occasionally it has been sewn into purpose-made gloves or pauldrons so that a warrior might strike their weapon with it at a moment’s notice. Beggar’s Fire can be purchased as strips of the rough leather, or as specialized gloves or pauldrons. The gloves can be struck on an enemy to damage them with the associated element, but a warrior might also strike his weapon on the pauldron of an ally without disrupting him in combat.

>The great merchant princes and their trade cities dominate the land, and foreign traders by their thousands come to partake in their markets, even the leaders of the wild nomads
>Yet there is one city, greater than all the others, whose name is spoken of only in whispers
>Khojara
>There are many tales of how to reach Khojara. I cannot tell you which are true.
>Some say you must head east, deep into the Desert of Ruins, where the sand is fine as dust and where cities go to die
>In the desert you must find a bronze horseman. Rub his steed’s raised hoof, and he will point you towards Khojara
>Some say you must head north, into the steppe, braving nomad raiders and the madness of an endless sky until you come to a river across which there is only darkness. You must walk in that darkness for four months, and on the other side you will find Khojara
>Some say you must head west, into the mountains, past the dry valley full of madmen destroying idols, until you find the Pillar of Ghilan, which marks the entrance to one of the few underground tunnels know to reach back to the fathers of all mountains, the chrysolite range known as Ulaq, which encircles the world. In the plains beneath Ulaq, you will find Khojara.
>In Khojara, all things are for sale, and the merchants of not just this world, but every world come to buy and sell.

>>50711107
>In Khojara you will see the giant, onyx-skinned divs striding through the market, carrying great poles from which hang cages containing women with feathered wings that glitter like jewels as they sing sorrowfully
>You will see the Lotus Aspirants floating through the streets, each seeking merchants selling new movements of the infinite Trigram
>You will see the many armed and many faced rakshasas, selling silks and garments woven from the blood of the Vidyadhara

>You will find unscrupulous Shem-priests selling bricks from the Wall of Palcyon, each engraved with a word in the True Speech, from before the breaking of tongues
>In stalls you will see men selling the horned icon of great Helicandros who founded all five of the great trade-empires before building his great iron wall between the lands of man and the lands of demons
>Lead jars of captive djinn begging to be released, promising to show you the ancient vaults beneath the earth where they hid their treasure, each sold by a greater djinn who captured his weaker brothers
>Jewelry made from the red Tears of the Karkadaan, each collected from a lord of the desert as he quenched his great thirst
>Roasted flesh of rukhs that will make an old man young, clockwork peaches that emit the most soothing of odors, telescopes that can see for leagues, apples that can cure any known disease if eaten, the waters of life, the waters of death, and so much more.

Slow mornings this week!

If I cast dead weight on a sub 3 toughness creature, can my opponent save it by casting fragmentize?

>>50711590
They cannot. By the time they have priority to cast Fragmentize, SBAs have already killed their creature for having 0 or less toughness.

Do you know what kind of mold that $10k figure is referring to?

I doubt it's in regards to a ten figure disc.

>>50708823
They're talking about GW figures, which afaik are even in plastic.
I think I've seen people say such a mold costs them $100k, and so on.

>>50708736
Metal molds for plastic casting wear out too. Remember that the wear limit for a mold is very, very small, because the first thing to go is the tiny bits of metal that define detail on the model. Sure, the plastic puts very little wear on the metal, but it only takes a little wear to fuck it up.

Every time a mold wears out, you need to make a new one from the master model, and every time you do that, the master degrades. Eventually it reaches the point where you need a new master, and that's pretty much the whole initial cost all over again.

>>50708113
Or it can be, like, a stone wand linked to a sacred stone.
Point is:
Wand -linked to -Sacred shrine

>>50708120
There is a precedent for the ritual use of wands in Shinto, so I guess that works. It's mostly used for purification rituals, according to Wiki.

But what I need help with is hard rules. That's where I am weak.

hell no, that autistic sumbitch couldn't raise a tamagachi if his life depended on it, let alone a bunch of super gene modded super soldiers.

Horus turned out alright, until he got brainwashed by chaos voodoo, at least. And horus is the only individual we know he had a hand in truly raising.

The rest were found after they had already become adults.

>>50707045
Doesn't matter. The Imperium needed Generals, not whiny cry-babies who have daddy issues the minute Daddy goes into the man-cave for a few sec.

Use a different system.

I use Savage Worlds for everything, but someone has the pasta about why that's bad. Savage RIFTS is something I'm using for everything now.

DnD definitely doesn't work. Or Pathfinder.

Storyteller-style systems are too loosey-goosey for the play style.

WoD can come pretty close. You could finagle something.

Exalted is confusing as fuck.

Probably going to say: Cut it down.

Whatever you do, cut some of that shit down. How complicated does it need to be? Make it so, and no more.

Scion's system is cluttered with useless shit. Cut that out, see what's left, and then choose an appropriate system to port it over to.

>>50707012
This is the first time I've ever seen Scion posted on /tg/ everyone loves all the other White Wolf systems so much its always seemed like the red headed step child with too many dice.

I love the setting but the clutter is obnoxious, I was reading into Godbound for something that can capture a similar feeling within the setting but way less clutter.

>Use a different system.

I ran one game of it and my players and I agreed it was not tolerable. Ported it to FATE, worked fine. You can port it to pretty much any generic or super hero system with little trouble. The mechanics are asinine anyway, so don't bother trying to emulate them, just copy the lore and give similar sounding powers.

See how straight forward and fast [with out editing i bet it took like, two hours max to do that job] it is to set up a firing position?

Yeah it would not resist a massive hoard of zombeis all pushing on it at once, But it would Still be effective at holding off civil unrest and small hoards.

larger sizes, or doublethick walls for those larger sizes would be enough to hold back most hoards I'd expect.

Hope that you nigger are ready for some +200 kilo zombie survivalist to wander in and start to preach how muh WWZ totes proves that modern artillery 6 armor can't deal with zombies and how katana is the supreme anti-zombie melee weapon.

>>50706881
As interesting as I find this stuff (never knew that was what those big sand-blocks I've seen in a million FPS' were called), the reality is that all of fiction is contrived, and zombie apocalypse fiction is no exception.

The people who write these stories are not interested in strict realism. If they were, they wouldn't be writing zombie fiction in the first place. No, they're interested in telling stories about people surviving (or at least, trying to survive) the end of the world. To that end, zombies are invariably blown up to be a far bigger threat than real-world logic would dictate, because that makes for a better story. Likewise, realism is only observed insofar as it makes the story more dramatic.

If having zombies overrun the Earth with ease would establish them as a serious threat, then that's what will happen. If the human characters having to carefully ration their food and water raises the narrative stakes, then that's what will happen. Having the zombie hordes (yes, it's spelt "hordes", not "hoards") be instantly annihilated by the US Army would not make the story any better. It would actually ensure that there was no story in the first place. That is why no writer ever does it.

Not really, sorry anon. Take this bump in consolation; maybe someone that knows one will see the thread.

Dunno but we can talk about rocket age after christmas

Savage Worlds seems to take the old pulp feel as the default for their sci-fi in the core book, especially given the art.
