Oh yeah, JAGS is obscure as fuck in the general sense, with the single exception of JAGS Wonderland. It's a pretty well known supplement, because of how evocative and intriguing it is. It's one of those splatbooks that makes it way into recommendations of "settings you should read to mine for inspiration, even if you don't play the system".

Which means it's well-known mostly among GMs, the kind of GMs who are willing to devote the time to do that kind of thing to find cool ideas. So even then, it's objectively pretty poorly known. But still, the setting is the best known product from JAGS and among those who are acquainted with it, very highly rated.

What does "obscure" really mean? Is pic related obscure? How about Secret of Zir'An, Corporation, Underground, World of Synnibarr, or SLA Industries?

>That Pic
I think the best thing about Apes is that given the context, they're smart enough to understand something like a Juice Box and will open and drink from it like a regular person.
You don't need to help them, they're fully capable of picking the straw out, carefully punching a hole in the box, and drinking from it once they know how to do so.

It's great. I love it. Nature is amazing.

>think roll20 might be good for me to practice playing and a good middle ground between going out and playing and being a shut in completely
>still too shy to apply to games

Ive read enough That Guy stories to know staying in is better.

Never played it. Always wanted to. I'm interested in any game that influenced Risus. Tell us about T&T OP?

>>54997052
Downloaded T&T free rules, looks bretty gud. I like how spells are more tongue-in-cheek than D&D's.
>Take That, You Fiend

>>54997052

Because personal preference is a thing.

You like a lighter ruleset which achieves a lot of the same things? Awesome. I'm happy for you.

Personally, I like crunch. It has to be good crunch that properly serves the premise, not garbage like 3.PF, but a system with real mechanical weight to it is part of the experience I enjoy, and I always find lighter systems unsatisfying as a result.

Still haven't gotten around to ordering the Pauldrons I need, but in the meantime, do you guys think I should put a pauldron on my Aspiring Champion's right shoulder or leave it bare because Tough McManBeef?

WiP Minotaur. Still need to clean up the highlighting, and pick out some more details. First marine I've painted in almost ten years. Arms and backpack are separate, to make hitting chest easier. Not sure what I want to do with the pauldrons - there are no Minotaur transfer sheets, and my freehanding skill is almost nil.

Excuse the mess in the background, working on some house stuff.

rolling to get it started

Rolled 10 (1d10)

Also if anyone has character art for modern fighters, gangsters, or general street tough type characters I'd appreciate it,

That'll probably work, thanks! I'll give it a read.

Humans are genetically disposed to be adaptable to a very wide range of potentially very hostile environments. So humans CAN adapt to a life of adventuring, unlike, say, a goldfish which can't even fucking adapt to minor water changes.

But to have the sort of inclination you are referring to would be a cultural thing. The child has the genes to make a good adventurer, but the child is only likely to grow up to be an adventurer due to the environment it was raised in. If the hero-child were birthed in a peaceful kingdom, he may have become a guard or an athlete or some other profession. Professions are not DNA based, I feel like I shouldn't have to say that.

>>54996132
People born with innate special abilities like an exotic bloodline, whether half-breed or something like a sorcerer, would be more likely to take up a life of adventure. Probably because they'd be less able to fit in with the common folk and their unique nature would infer benefits that make them more likely to survive the experience. The children of a famous adventurer would hopefully benefit from inheriting whatever exceptional attributes that allowed their parent to survive. The fact they'll likely grow up on stories of their parent's adventures, along with having access to the best mentor possible in a parental figure, means even an otherwise mundane child could easily be inspired to follow in their parent's adventuring footsteps if they wanted to.

>>54996132
Even with the best adventuring genes, it's still possible to get the most dull witted and inept offspring. That one kid that has fantasies of running his very own shit farm with an ugly wife and 20 children. The one that would take the family heirloom sword that was bestowed by a god and slew the greatest evil of the land and use it to chop down a tree.

Pick what army looks nicest to you, most easily one that GW still carries most of the models for (Orcs, Lizardmen, Skaven, Vampires,Ogres)
Though if you want to hunt for OOP models for Bretonnia or Tomb Kings go right ahead. Some stuff has been repackaged with round bases now, so you may need to figure out the right sizes for big things. Once you pick something get the leader and core choices you want, then expand from there. 1d4chan has plenty of tactics pages for 8th ed if you want more detailed army advice, but really it's fairly easy to build an army if you just buy and paint it bits at a time.
The real hard part is finding people to play with, especially someone experienced enough to help teach you.
You're not in OKC are you? Maybe a proper opponent will motivate me to paint my Empire

>>54996942
How common are Empire models? I really dig the flamboyant aesthetic. Also, What's OOP and OKC?

Use other voice chats and roll20 for the rolls, you don't have to use the map either, just paste some fancy ass picture or something.

So don't use the map? I'm not playing the sort of games that require us to use maps.. So we just use it as a backdrop. Pic related is from our musketeer game.

I'm thinking of either bumping one of my 20s up to 30, or adding a second priest (third prayer). I COULD use more 30 rat blobs, but I like the fire support from a warp lightning cannon ally

Lexicanum needs your help getting everything up-to-dte with age of sigmar. Sign-up and start editing.

If you don't have any books, you can also go over the product description and the warscrolls and add information from there.
