A man using dark science to produce endless replacements of himself, cheating death every time; the realm will not be free of his mischief until the source is destroyed.

"Bandits" who are just samurai that the Empire grew tired of, dislike, and don't want to pay anymore. Don't need to pay traitor bandits, right?

Was going to suggest wokou, but perhaps not!chink foreigners specialized on small unit tactics might be more interesting and challenging:

In any case, links for wokou:

Crab clan would probably fair better than the rest.

Is their magic bullshit as good as Bretonia's? Cause if not, they're gonna need to start making guns

I dunno, Cathay seems to do all right anyway.

>The game is all about trying to prolong that fight as best you can and make the best of what you have
You can still "win" this game then. Obviously it wouldn't count as a win in real life terms, but you can still give your players a success/failure trigger. Using your Alamo example: you need to hold the fort for at least 24 hours to buy time for the reserves to muster up so they can be ready for the coming counter-attack. The less you hold the the less likely they can be ready before the enemy preemptively strikes. Holding for longer increases the chances of your allies winning even more. PCs still die in the end, but you can still give your players something to be proud about accomplishing and maintain tension since there is more to lose than just your lives which you have already lost in this scenario effectively.

>>54977347
Sooo... rougelike?

>>54977347
Delta Green is like this, although for the long term. Humanity will never truly "win", but your group might be able to...for a moment.

Alternatively, just fortify the best landing places with access to water and other resources, then poison the rest. They have to come down eventually.

>>54977071
I suppose you would infiltrate them with spies, find out whatever is keeping it afloat and bring it down via sabotage or assassination, or at least create enough mayhem to leave it vulnerable to another approach, probably involving those mages you mentioned, or airships if the setting is cool enough.

Hopefully we'd see more chaos xenos. Tired of just seeing Dark Eldar and nothing but human cultists. Chaos should be a hodge podge of all sorts of races.

>>54976524
And hell, other than CSMs you don't even see humans that much. It's really kind of dumb.

I wanted to like it. But the 4 sessions of it felt obtuse and the amount of successes you needed to actually do anything as a player was to high in my experience.
With a better dm it might be more fun, but it always felt like the game was bleeding me dry on resources for pretty much anything. Keep in mind that you always start the game being in debt, with interest rate stacking up.
You want to use a warpgate? That's more credits that you need for your debt as a toll payment.
You want to explore a new area? Buy a starmap with the credits you need for your debt.
If i wanted to be reminded of paying of my vehicle and/or house, i'd just look around me.

Does it at least have half-way decent art to steal for better games?

interesting general
how do you portray cultist in an interesting manner?

Totally new to CoC in an TTRPG sense and wanting to try getting into Delta Green. What edition do I start with, or does Atchung! Cthulhu / Cthulhu Wars capture the "Military guys fighting the mythos but probably dying horribly in the process" feeling better.

To put things in perspective I'm an SCP / WoDfag and looking for something to capture that GOC / Hunter: the Vigil feel because neither of those settings are cutting it anymore.

>>54976802
A lot of the time, cultists seem generic because the lot of them wear robes and chant and act predictably weird. Why not just, like, have a normal-looking guy with a brutal-looking altar stashed away in the attic who offers entrails of all the dead cats in the neighborhood to the resident flesh dimension ghoul?

Third, the players have to be constrained in their movement somehow, otherwise they would be overwhelmed. I'll be starting them in the center room of the blue tesserect. The blue tesserect's center, east, west, north, and south rooms will be split vertically in thirds, and the players will start in the middle third of the center cube. This means they will not have access to the switch, or the top and bottom hatches in any of these rooms. This means the top and bottom thirds of each of these rooms will be difficult to access. For the four surrounding rooms, the top thirds will be completely inaccessible, and the bottom thirds will only be accessible through the switches. The top and bottom thirds of the center cube are only accessible from the top and bottom cubes, respectively, and these rooms are only accessible from the double cube. This means the players will have time to figure out that the doors don't work exactly like they would expect, and that they must understand or luck their way through the double cube (which will be full of murkey water and nothing else) before they have access to any switches, and thus any other tesserects.

Fourth, the bottom rooms accessible only by the switches will be the goals of the dungeon. To escape, the pics must reach these four bottom sections and activate some magical alignment rune or something, and once they do all four, they'll be able to teleport out. Therefore, at each of the other ends of these four switches, I'll be placing a boss that they have to defeat. The goal then becomes 'kill the four bosses'.

Here's an image to help understand the thirds thing.

>>54975267
Fifth, the eight tesserects will each have their own unique theme. The blue tesserect will be generic thassilonian ruin themed. The red tesserect will be cold themed. The green tesserect will be jungle themed. The purple tesserect will be bayou graveyard themed. The orange tesserect will be desert themed. The light blue tesserect will be spider/ghost themed. I don't have an idea for the pink tesserect yet. The yellow tesserect is prison block themed.

I need ideas for individual rooms for every theme, and just feedback in general. Thanks /tg/.

>>54975214
How large are all these rooms? 3x3?
Do the rooms have different structures within them?

Why would game have a mechanic like this?

Worst as in what?
Badly written, most evil, weakest?
Khorne at least had the worst change during the history of warhammer.

>>54973967
All of them are worst, because they aren't actually chaotic despite their collective name implying just that.
Chaos Gods (well, besides Malal) are dogmatic as fuck.
