finally picked up my physical copy from the buddy I went halfsies on the kickstarter with. noticed they went to print without the second edition marker n it, even though the kickstarter advertised it as a second edition.

this was probably wise given that JW gave us a completely different, profoundly shit game wearing the skin of 7th sea. It's not a sequel, its a reboot.

So, here we are, money spent, complaints filed, and raises, the core fucking mechanic of the game, are still just about the stupidest, most meta-level dissociative tension-free stakes destroying resolution mechanic I've ever seen in an RPG.

Is there a way to fix this? Should we even try?

PS: the book itself is very well designed and well presented. so points for aesthetic JW, you fucking clod.

You know, I should be surprised, given that the latter is what causes the game to actually function, but I'm not, given D&D 5E.

Are half-elves made for bullying?

No this is a serious question: Is a GM supposed to basically have every NPC the party meets treat the half-elf PCs like peices of shit?

Wait... What? Aren't Half-Elves typically given bonuses to Diplomacy because they wind up being smooth-talkers?

If anything, half-elves are that hot interracial guy/girl that had an awkward childhood but grew up attractive and successful.

Jump 6XX: Otoyomegatari (Bride Stories)
In which a jumpmaker jumps their own jump.

Rolled 1: Eihon Village, Age 14

Drawbacks:
Unladylike, SO I HEARD YOU LIKE EMBROIDERY MOTHER FUCKER (You're goddamn right I do), Culture Shock, Awkward (especially around Elders), Marriage Proposals

total cp: 1600

Villager (0)
Bride (0)
Eye For Detail (0)
Shepherd (0)
Break Bread (100/1500)
Sing Away The Time (0/1500)
Embroidery (100/1400)
The First Is Always The Hardest (200/1200)
Grow Together (300/900)
Best Way To The Heart (100/800)

Animal Charm (Owl, slightly enhances wisdom)(0)
Pomegranates (0)
Bathhouse (400/0)
Extended Family (0/0)
Wedded - Groom (import V, rolled age: 13) (0/0)

So it looks like I'm going to have to be on my best behavior, even avoiding some of the usual World Improvement Projects that I normally undertake.
V and the rest of my Extended Family can beat up anyone who tries to steal me, at least they don't have any restrictions on their actions. Even though they have no perks or powers (except V) most of them have experience on their side. They're probably going to be my hands, since with all these drawbacks I'm going to be pretty awful at getting things done myself without looping through recursive awkwardness spirals into a stuttering red-faced mess."
I am going to do so much embroidery it's not funny. Those weaving skills and ability to turn monsters into silk from Jade Cocoon will come in handy (I'll have to provide my own monsters, though).
On the plot-related side of things, I'm thinking the best thing is to subtly slow Amir's aging so Kurlak can catch up with her.
That would be nice.

>Even though they have no perks or powers
They are probably still skilled as all fuck.

And they are normal humans, that is material you can work with if needed. Like break out the vials of super serums (every jumper needs these for minions and general human uplift, I would recommend the worms from Futurama as something that can be cultivated by others when you leave, and pass from mother to child in the womb)

And start handing out equipment that is much hardier and high tech than it seems, like bows deigned on a supercomputer a few thousand years more advanced than the current era, to be the best that can be made.

Or go technomage, and make disguised tech that seems magical. Also, start figuring out how to embroider magic scrolls/spellbooks.

And books that are really computers where the pages act like touch screens, cause why make all the companions go without internet and games?

Greaaaaat.... We're all stuck in a cell, and accused of heresy. This isn't how I expected my morning to go... Especially not with this kind of food. Bleh!

Well, let's hope that Adept Calidon's notes, and that "halo device" are enough to prove our innocence. Otherwise, we'll be seeing the Emperor soon enough.

FAQ:
>What the fuck is this?
Somewhat a campaign of crack-infused free-form roleplay in the grim darkness of the far future.

>When do you guys make these threads?
Usually mondays at 4PM GMT, but they sometimes extend to Tuesdays if we got caught in the middle of something when the thread died and it was too late to make another one the same day.

>Can I join in?
Sure, just think of a character and have fun, you can find most info in 1d4chan albeit it's ussually a little bit out of date in comparison to where the threads are.

>Is there any requirement in character creation.
Not really, we've had Xeno infiltrators, Chaos infiltrators, Villains, Heroes, Normal Guardsmen, Crazed Guardsmen, Assassins, Psykers, Space Marines, Inquisitors, Squats... just think whathever and join the fun.

>Is it allowed to have more than a single character?
Yes as long as you don't use it to powerplay.

>So how you guys do the playan'?
We tend to use spoilers for OOC chat, but nothing is set in stone.
We tend to use greentexts for describing a character's actions, but again nothing is set in stone.
Use d20s for combat checks and d100s for other things you want to roll, higher Is better.
It's important to know that the regiment is now in the employ of a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, with influence from an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and under the watch of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Yes we've been through a lot of shit.

Why the fuck are models so expensive?
It's one of the biggest reasons I don't play tabletop games.

Once you've got the mold shape you literally just have to inject plastic in and wait.

Honestly, if I didn't know better I'd be shocked if tough pewter models cost even half of what easily-damaged plastic models do.

How do you deal with your players being somewhat dumb when you are the GM?

Following situation. The group got captured by bandits and put into a cage. There is another cage right next to them with a group of 10 slaves. They don't have any objects on them that allow them to just break out. They try to communicate with the guard but the guard has clear orders to ignore them. There is an NPC that they know inside the cage that got captured as well. He tells them that those bandits go around capturing slaves to use them in a local mine and that they sometimes force them into arena fights, he already won a fight against another slave and got rewarded by his captors with a valuable object or some additional food.

So the group just sits there and does nothing. They literally tell me they do nothing and I'm supposed to fast-forward the day so something happens.

So tell me /tg/, if you were in that situation what would be the first thing you do. Remember, the only thing the players did up to this point is try to talk to the guard that ignores them and talk to the NPC in their cell that gives them some general information about their situation.

Please tell me it's not my fault. Because I think with the description I've given of the situation there are still a couple of ways you can spend your time without literally asking the DM to "fast forward". I am asking just because I want to know whether that's on me or on them.

>>
>>49319331
If i was confused, I would ask them what their intention was. If they didnt have any, but wanted to see how things panned out, then I would fast forward to when the Bandits next want to interact with them. They might be drawn into a pit fight or forced to mine, or seperated and both (although thats an ass to keep track of)

Eventually the players will want to do something, or just enjoy the campaign of mining and pit fighting as slaves. And who knows, that might be the campaign they were looking for!
>>
>>49319331
Well, you told them that

>They don't have any objects on them that allow them to just break out.

and that the guard ignores them. So they feel that perhaps they should wait and see what happens. I mean, why not? There's nothing wrong with that. At some point someone will open the door to the cage for whatever reason, and then they can do something else to escape. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with them waiting for something to happen, and while you are correct that there are still a couple of ways to "spend time", they aren't doing a wrong thing by asking you (as a fellow player and contributor to the story) to provide something Interesting to Happen.

Because "spending time" locked in a cage is usually a punishment. I can understand why they would want to skip it, as most people trying to escape prison do.

And I think this is bait.

I think planeswalkers are literally the worst thing to happen to the game. And I know I'm in the minority, which sucks.

>>49299745
Planeswalkers were a problem back in Zendikar block when the stupidly broken Jace, the Mind Sculptor nearly killed Standard as a format.

Now, the main problem is mythics ruining Limited formats due to the insane power imbalance between regular rares and mythic. Not to mention that mythics juice up the price of Standard and create a Yugioh-esque theft culture.

So I just got back from my Friendly Local Game Store. I witnessed a screaming match between the owner and one of his regulars.

Long story short, the owner of this particular store posted an update on our invite only Facebook group that "Effective Immediately, Age of Sigmar may no longer be played on store tables." A lot of people thought he was joking, but I've known this guy for a long time. He's been playing WFB since the late 80's and was pretty miffed by AoS' release so I wouldn't put it past him.

This guy showed up with one of his friends and trying to play AoS anyway. It turned out the owner wasn't joking. He really had just banned the game from the store to make room for his 9th age and KoW players.

The AoS players were told to leave and they objected. Loudly.

How many store owners have you known to be assholes who treat the store like their personal mancave?

I was thinking of a campaign idea where the hook is a strong willed and independent village girl with good homemaking skills sets forth to look for her childhood sweetheart who was drafted to the war effort. In her travels she employs the PCs and other NPCs who are drawn to her quest for varying reasons. Ultimately the PCs actions will decide the fate of the young woman's sweetheart.

>>
>>49313572
Tacticool would be either Black Legion or Iron Warriors. Both put a lot of focus on small teams of elite infantry that are specially equipped for specific missions. Their only major difference is their opinions on the Chaos Gods and their preferred fighting methods - BL is speartip shock assaults, while Iron Warriors are siege-breakers with elite vanguard infantry and demolitions experts.
>>
>>49313572
Iron Warriors. They don't rely on daemons for everything and have to manage supply lines. Alpha Legion is probably another tacticool chaos force.

>Alpha Legion is probably another tacticool chaos force.

Eh, Alpha Legion is more cloak-and-dagger than Tacticool.
