I think large point game would be good as it means, imperial guard can use large formations of tanks and baneblades.

As for rules. I think the only thing that needs to be forbidden is titans and of course knights are allowed because they aren't true titans.

>>49871641
The exact cost of a single conscript with basic weapons and nothing else. It's the only way to be balanced.

This happened a while ago so I may mess up my memory of events.
>Using Ayla Promo figure as my guy.
>Tutorial fight.
>Group is all jovial about running it since it's our second run.
>I use my Founder Stone for the +1 Str boost.
>First round goes by, survival is getting burned up. But things are going well.
>Second round, Decapitation.
>Third round, keep doing our thing, which is to beat lion with rocks. Do 2 good wounds.
>Fourth round, Decapitation.
>Fifth round, lion is still fairly healthy and Zachary (one of the male PCs) gets mauled and loses a leg. His movement goes down to 3 and he has trouble making it to the Lion after being knocked back.
>Oh shit.
>Next round, Ayla goes berserk (ie I get super lucky) and castrates the Lion.
>That also means I can't lose the Priority Target token. It's literally a 1v1 fight to the death.
>Manage to somehow survive a few rounds thanks in particular to a miraculous double 1 on a Maul.
>Tear the Lion apart with fist and teeth with Zachary.
>After the battle I get a Bone Axe and I think a skull helmet.
>Group decides I can group the Lion Testicles until we have the Catarium for a Frenzy Potion.
>On the next Hunt we do Lion again, we get a ton of leather and a Mane. Lose 1 and my helmet gets destroyed. Not to bad. We start making buildings and innovating (can't remember what we did first) and bits for a full Rawhide set.
>Get a mantle for that sweet +1 head protection and of course, frenzy potion. We make a bow for the designated archer. I think we have a spear as well.
>Decide to fight the Spider year 3.
>Have not faced Spider at all yet.
>During the hunt phase someone gets a Steel Shield and Swords by rolling triple or quad 0s or something equally ridiculous. They're really good. But the shield also makes you really slow.
>Awesome who cares about being slow.
>Reach spider fight.
>Realize she's fast as fuck. Also realize we don't have a great way of killing lots of tiny spiders.
cont.

>>49871933
>Spearman gets surrounded and eaten over the next few rounds as we desperately hack legs off.
>Link (Steel sword and Shield) can't get close to the main spider and tries to thin the herd.
>Archer hits the Trap and instantly gets devoured.
>Frenzy up, can kill spiders and save Link or go for the mad dash and try to kill the bitch.
>Can't quite kill her, but do a couple more wounds.
>Get swept by a rogue spiderling. Knocked down.
>Link starts bleeding heavily but he's still on his feet. Screams at Ayla to stand up and finish the job.
>Stand Up.
>Mad dash again, completely ignoring everything but the queen.
>Just have to put her down.
>This goes on for at least two more rounds before I finally kill her.
>Link is bleeding out and heavily wounded but he survives and kills most of the spiderlings.
>My characters picks up the shallow lungs disorder.
>Many huzzahs.
>Year 4.
>Butcher.

I also heard about this and signed up for the newsletter so i could get in early. It looks like the raw game was about a 100 and it got expensive with all of the expansions. Do you think the price will stay close to the same? I want in on this but 500 seems like a lot if thats just the game. I might bend to 200 without any of my friends help. Also any news when it might be? Ive heard 'soon' since may.

When I played Pool of Radiance, the city posted notices. Here's a link (they're nothing too special).

What part of the tabletop interests you, anon? Wargaming, RPG, painting?
So far, you have only expressed a desire to play tabletop and heard bad things about the owner and community. Go see for yourself if it is as bad as you've heard. If it is, then there are always other options. If not, then you have what sounds like a rather cozy store to play in.

>>49871483
I feel my local store owner is a bit like that, at the sametime he's very open and helpful.

It's just the way you approach people, I see him as a means to an end and if you ask the correct questions a source of knowledge and help.

>>49871483
Learning curve is entirely dependent on what you're getting into and who your community is.

I respond to toxic communities in meatspace by gaming online instead.

Looks terrifying, desu

Steam gives it pretty good reviews for whatever that's worth. Guess I'll have to wait a bit for the price of VR headsets to come down to a reasonable level.

>>49871245

This is kind of scaring and arousing me at the same time.

Future is coming, gentlemen.

>>49871128
Now I just want to see a woman with natural tits the size of exercise balls lie down on it to watch them jiggle around.

You can drink all night and get as drunk as you want but the negative effects are diminished and you never get a hangover from it.

Bard.
Cursed to garner an undeservedly good reputation, the unfortunate lutist has to spend half his earnings on guards to prevent disgruntled patrons from doing anything more than heckling. For his part, the landlord is content to simply lock the doors and let the patrons drown out the 'music' with strong liquor until closing time.

Well!

Well well.

Well, well, well....

So, I cooked up this weird little quest. It kind of developed and grew into this.

>Party gets word that a mysterious tower has been spotted not far away, it appeared overnight.
>Get sent down to it, and they inspect it. It's made of large stone bricks, and looks like it would take a long time to construct. Lots of human sized footprints seem to be in the area of the tower, suggesting occupation of the tower.
>Adventurers go inside through the heavy double wooden doors. It smells damp and musty inside, but nothing seems amiss.
>They venture through the first floor and the place seems abandoned. If they go back to the entrance they get lost, and cannot find the door.
>They continue up the stairs to the next floor, generated however the DM wishes with encounters tailored to the groups level.
>As they progress further and further up, the fights get a little harder and harder. The name of the game here is attrition. They have to sleep at some point.
>The night they sleep, they wake up to 1 acid damage as they lay on the floor. Any bedrolls they slept on are partially destroyed due to some sort of perspiration on the ground and walls.
>It's now a race to the top, as they will take periodic acid damage, they're on a timer.
>the stone walls seem to warp, like the place is crushing in on its self.
>They get to the very top to fight the last encounter, and notice the "roof" is domed, the cracks between the bricks revealing some sort of membrane.
>They realize "holy shit, this tower is a creature" as they cut through and fight their way through a slough of organs to get to the beating heart they hear vividly pounding.
>Cut the heart to kill the monster, they all feel their bodies whip to a side, cushioned by organs, and hear a loud crash. This opens the top as the "dungeon" slides to one side of the tower, giving them an escape route to the digestive tract.
>Cut their way out and come out of the butthole of the tower, looking at the bottom they see thousands of humanoid feet

>>49870892
Dragons are actually just large flying lizards of animal intelligence, and when you finally manage to defeat the red dragon overlord you catch a glimpse of something slithering out of the dragon's ear and into the darkness. Something slimy and red, with many legs...

instead of thinking of something simple, you ask the internet thinking that would be better or faster?
please be a troll.

>>49870756
I'm not really good a this, mang.

I'm like errr ... escaped ... rats? A child ... lost in ... a tower? Eee, a wizard ... doing things ... for lulz?

I'm really not good at this. I'd say I'm a decent DM, but basically because of prep time. And /tg/ did provide for me on MANY occasions. So yeah, here I am.

Investigation about a cult kidnapping people for awaking an ancient evil or something?

or

PC's are invited to a party/reception at one of the wealthiest wizards of the city, but there are many "magical" accidents at the party, made by a rival who is trying to wreck the wizard's good reputation with the city's high society.

Didn't FF straight lift from DD way back then. It shouldn't be hard to home brew a game yourself.

>>49870559
FF1 borrowed a lot from AD&D, yes. But both have branched out and changed a lot from their beginnings.

>>49870573

Well I guess my question is what makes a campaign FF? DnD is defined by it's rules but FF is really just varying flavors of fluff.

You don't need a whole rule set to search for elemental crystals or ride chocobo mounts

>>49869974
>But how do you balance a system around all of the vehicles that players could choose from?
I'd break them up into general categories, for one.
>And how do you balance someone who chooses a tank for his vehicle form and someone that chooses a racecar?
Low speed, high power vs high speed, low power.

>>49870079
>>49869974
Just go with the latest Transformers game (the Platinum one) and have them be able to do vehicular kung-fu, making the added weaponry nice, but non-essential.

>>49870118
So would they have abilities/spells?
I've never played with a skilless system.

>>49869840
No, those ideas are both shit

It's kind of unimpressive as a legendary weapon if it's easily tricked, and usually that sort of thing only makes your aura "appear" good (which is pretty pointless if you're eating babies)
Otherwise it's a shitty premise, but you could just attack the ring first I guess

Any ACU or command mech from TA/SupCom would probably wreck face in the 40k universe. All they need is sunlight and metal and they can generate a sizeable force by themselves given enough time

>>49869932

>mfw the admech find the STC for for the ACU
>Completely changes the operational doctrine of the Titan Legions

This would be interesting to consider.

Since I prefer encounters consisting of vietkobold style ambushes, probably badly.
