nope.

Sorry mate, you'll have to break away from your habit of autistically modelling everything that doesn't really needs autistic modelling and just run your touhou game like papa ZUN intended - on a 2d plane.

This is not actually a Touhou game or setting, and "spell card combat" would be a contrived fit.

Grab your favorite grid based game, then put a "height dice" on the tokens.

Characters on different heights can't melee each-other. You can switch your height by 1 as part of a move action.

My experience was my FLGS talking about getting a community for the game rolling, me getting excited and buying a 300pt list and the rulebook for $100, and then the models just taking up space. Maybe somewhere out there the game is thriving, but it isn't New Jersey from what I can tell.

Straight up brotha - I'm in seattle....

I'm on the edge that minis aren't worth even a 1$ for one, but its a huge discount....

I'm guessing if I buy I'll just be masturbating....

I think most /tg/ers are more story fixated rather than wanting to fight each other with dice.....

Hey but do the minis actually have articulation?

>>50346454
I'll start myself.

I'm personally torn between Deathskulls and Blood Axes. I think Death Skulls are cool for the sheer middle finger they give to other races whenever they are killing them using their own looted tech. Blood axes seem to be the most cunning orks around. I remember reading a story about BA kommados who attacked refueling station to cripple giant Tau vessel protecting the area, allowing WAAGH to overpower resistance.

If it comes to a colorscheme, I vote for Deathskulls though.

>>50346454
Blood Axes, just because they're the only kind of Orks you can us... talk to.

Rak'gol. There's something about the crude biological/mechanical fusion that I really like. I also think they could do with expanding on. What kind of heavy armor do they have? Will their relation to the Yu'vath ever be explained? How do they build their stuff or even procreate?

Also, pic related is how I imagine a Rak'gol monstrous creature looking.

Storywise what I have so far is that the party grew up in Port Azur and starts working for one of the big trade companies
and get to know Las Antillas by travelling by ship from one plac to the other and have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals
of markets and trade.
After a few months they get a special job, which is safely getting the Governor of Puerto Santa Azara to Port Azul for a trade conference.
At night, while the sea is calm their ship gets boarded and attacked by tribal warriors from the new world, who kidnap the governor and kill everyone else.
They as the only survivors are stranded on a small island. There they have to play a bit survival and stumble upon a grotto, in which they find a ship and some treasure,
with a skelleton holding a map, the map to one of the riches and secret locations of the legendary pirate, who has terrorized the colonies of
the crown for decades. The skelleton also wears an amulett made of a big chunk of the new ore and is not as "dead" as they might have thought.
Coming back into civilization they will find Port Azur and Puerto Santa Azara at the brink of war as the gouvernors widow wants retribution
for the death of her husband and thinks the entire thing was no accident.
The players will have to come up with a plan to find the governor to avoid an all out war between the factions.
Luckily the map they just found seems to show a path up, against the seeming current of a big river into the heart of he new landmass.
As soon as they get there they will find a huge inland sea, with two civilizations at war, one being human and the other being
Yuan-Ti (who kidnapped the governor and actually replaced his wife with a pureblood).
They will also find out, why the old world pays such high prices for the mineral ore, because being in contact with it
makes you a lot more powerful (leading to the difficult decision making of using it to level up or sell it to buy more assets
and/or hire mercenaries). 2/3

Give me your input, plot hooks, interesting and inspiring locations, clever twists, and whatever you can think of.
Will dump some related art in the meantime. 3/3

Even GW deals in memes now.

>>50346040
Why not just play it straight?

>Game setting is whatever in the past
>Player can't stop saying stuff like "a way of travelling that involves flying? that will lead nowhere believe me" and stuff like that

>>50346040
That's lame. I mean if he's saying "fuck, did you read the latest bit of A tale of two cities? Way better than the last episode"

It would be good.

> but my players insist on playing 3.5
Bitch slap them and DM 5e.

Tell them you want to play 5e, and if they don't want to tell them you would LOVE to play some 3.5e but they have to do all the work converting your entire campaign into 3.5.

They'll play 5e.

Also, why does nobody Google things anymore? You can find most rulebooks by simply Googling. It took me 5 seconds to get the Player's Handbook in PDF, the Dungeon Master's Guide in PDF, and most extra books too.

Stop being lazy OP, also, don't play 3.5.

What's wrong with animal people exactly?

>>50345393
Just go along as you would normally with non furry races.

>>50345405
Some people make porn of anthropomorphic animals, just as they do with every other goddamn thing.

Maybe make them intensely agrarian? The majority of mountain races in fantasy seem to live in concentrated settlements and have a focus on smithing or production of some kind or another. Maybe the inventiveness of this group has been in high altitude farming techniques? They could have villages surrounded by extensive terraces growing weird vegetables, and you could play around with the isolated nature of mountain valleys and the communal aspects of an agricultural society.

>>50345276
Sounds like deep gnomes from Forgotten realms.

>>50345276
They live solitary lives except for "harvest" and "mining" season. They harvest massive mushrooms that grow in their mining tunnels, feeding on creatures that are killed by spores and semi sentient fungi humanoids and on the minerals in the stone, thus weakening the walls enough to be mined easily once cleared out. This way they gather food before gathering metals and gems.

Shit tier peasant, should at least make some hard liquor out of them potatos

I used Roll20

Whatever works for you?

I use IRC mostly, it's a simple and very basic client but I like having a different channel for IC and OOC and you can get dicebots for almost anything these days. When I need a battlemap we use roll20, but for most games IRC does just fine.

Don't.

I mean if you have to use roll20. Its easy to use and has some neat features. But its just not the same and not as good.

>>50345166

Space wolves have a big serf manned fleet.

>>50345166
I always assumed serfs were driving the vehicles, at least. Or at least someone without power armor.

>>50346592
All chapters with fleets use serfs to man them. It takes hundreds of men just to load a single macro cannon, the only Space Marines on a chapter ship are the ones being transported to the warzone and maybe the captain.
