Archived threads in /tg/ - Traditional Games - 3086. page

My local store is absolutely flooded with AoS players. Went in three days this week and only saw one game of 40k. Its anecdotal but ive seen more AoS games and players in a week than I saw fantasy played in store over years (outside of special WHFB nights)

Ohh look.
Its that thread again.
Its simple. we do not know. GW does not publish sales data. Nor do we know anything about a global player base, so there is no way to give more than a local overview.

From what I heard locally, its much more popular than fantasy, which has a lot to do with not needing like 250 models to play that.

Very single WHFB player I've met hates the system with the strength of a thousand suns. However, I've since met.... 3-4? AoS players at the local club. I'll admit, the rules are shit and they are not the sharpest tools in the shed, but the enthusiasm they have for such a game is truly something.

At the last demo day they managed to get a bunch of 6-7 years old to play the game, and the kids loved it. If that means something, I dunnow.

Local scene keeps being overrun by WH40k and Bolt Action, though.

I wonder how Larrs and his new fling are liking their accommodations right now. I hear the view down there is just terrific!

Don't forget to get into group chat people.

>Is sitting on her cell.
...And here I thought you Mon'Keigh would have the situation under control...

>Larrs wakes up in small cell, looking around he doesn't spot anybody else.
thank Cegorach they didn't lock me up with her.

First for Mardu a shit

Why do threads exist for this game if all the best decks have already been determined.

There's no fucking point to homebrew for modern anymore

All modern is is

> net deck
> drop 1000 dollars
> occasionally win tourneys to make up your investment
> pour thousands into the shitter for no reward

Why even play?

they are too busy holing up in their towers and looking down at everyone.

Game mechanics.

Because taking over the world take time out of their studying and the god of magic hates it when his students are not studying.

Who who pays the piper calls the tune. So a generic Fantasy bard and would stuck paying Greensleeves and the like.

Game an 'Arabian' or 'oriental' would have the closest equivalent.

Of course you could always play a starving artist trying to make jazz or progressive Electric blues grass take off.

Where to go from here?

Probably a Dactyl or two and some remotes. You can mostly just get whatever you like though. You've got a good base for your force already.

The push up Sicily has largely been a success. Allied forces have pierced the Gustav Line, set up by the Germans to halt the pace set by the British, American, and Canadians taking up ground in southern Italy. The Canadians have been ordered to take the small coastal town of Ortona, which blocks the armored advance on the norther side of the peninsula.

The first Talent we'll introduce is 2nd Lieutenant Betran Kenneth. Kenneth is a kind soul, chipper, cheery, and well read. He's an avid literary nut, with a preference for post-Great War works. He's quite aware of the horrors of war, and fully intends to give over his command to the experience of his NCOs. Kennth's Talent is the ability to heal people, completely, instantaneously. But at the cost of six months of his life. He was 19 when the power manifested, and already, he's become 23.

He manifested due to attempting to save his brother from a freak accident, and was eventually caught and drafted after being discovered doing one too many good acts. Kenneth is a Trained Talent, meaning he was given fine tuning in his abilities up at a Joint-Allied Talent Training school in Scotland.

Accompanying Kenneth in the same vehicle, is Private Paul Isaacs. His ability is the Control over the forces of Gravity. Such power comes at a hefty cost to his willpower though, and makes a humongous noise when used.

He can be described as exactly the kind of Private that Sergeants around the world love: Always happy to follow orders, big enough to carry the heavy kit, easygoing enough to never complain about it, and simple enough to not start getting any bright ideas. He’s a tall, broad-shouldered blond man, his frame heavy with muscles developed during basic training and construction work before that. The only real fault that a Sergeant might find in is that he’s not possessed by much of a warrior spirit. During training he displayed about as much aggressiveness as a hamster, and even in heated combat his demeanor is more phlegmatic than anything else.

Along with Kenneth and Isaacs, is Lance Corporal Valerie Hedoux. Her power is the ability to be Inconspicuous(Not invisible) when not seen. Or, in clearer terms, when someone is distracted by something else. In the heat of a firefight, she can walk straight up to someone. She earned the nickname 'Mouse' in the Academy up in the Scottish Highlands.

Mouse’s moniker is well-earned. She’s a tiny, shy woman with short brown hair and unremarkable features. The scientists at the Talent school had spent long hours theorizing whether per personality had shaped her Talent or the other way around, or if perhaps it was just a sheer coincidence, but the fact of the matter remained that even without her talent, she’d probably barely be noticed in a crowded room. The training she’d received at the school had helped her to develop some confidence, but even then she often finds herself activating her talent even among her comrades just to be left alone for a while.

Sshhh.

Not me, but I once let a player talk me into allowing him to importune the kami into manifesting a cubic meter chunk of solid rock and then drop it on top of the Mirumoto Daimyo, who by then was outed as working for the Lying Darkness.

kira yoshikage from jojo and some big fuckin monster from Monster Hunter Generations

or a light bowgun wielding-Monster Hunting-Josuke Higashikata

either way no one would survive

Last anime I watched.... It took me a minute to remember. That'd be Big Duo of Big O, fused with, whoever the biggest bad in enter the gungeon is.

My players are low level mercs in a low fantasy setting.

Void whales, anyone know any lore of about them?

>>48449820
There's some old stuff about one eating an entire Ork Waaagh! and they get the occasional mention as so existing, but that's about it. I'm sure there's plenty of other colossal monstrosities out there too. It's really easy to hide in space.

>>48449820
I know the Space Wolves took down a Chaos corrupted one.

Because a mage wants to punch things, that's reason enough for melee to be a thing

>>48449347
I can't think of a setting like that, that isn't for kids

Their religion and pantheon changes so that an invisible entity pushes the Earth around the Sun and will stop unless fed hearts.

>aztecs repel Spanish incursions, become dominant regional power with European weaponry
>eventually form huge empire spanning all of North and South America, with tithes of people form all over the empire to be sacrificed in nearly continuous ceremony in Mexico
>Europeans keep them at bay only because trans-atlantic invasion is difficult, Americas become containment zone whose cruelty and ferocity is spoken of in hushed whispers
>Occasional crusade is organized in religious types and typically massacred by firearm-wielding jaguar warriors

Can this be a new setting?

Never gonna happen. Even if they came succeeded to killing and over powering Cortez forces ( which they actually came very close to doing).Their fate was sealed by foreign diseases such a smallpox.

Even if they somehow were immune Europe had too much of a head start on them.

I do like your idea though. Maybe Columbus crew brought back something nasty with him like super syphilis?

Resposting question that got locked away with last thread.
I made a doc full of houserules and classes from a bunch of blogs. Can I get in trouble if I do not sell it and only share it around online? I did include attributions to who did what.

>>48409602
If you're giving credit, linking back to the blogs you got it from, and not making money from it, I can't imagine anyone would raise a stink.

Jumpers!

Has anyone invaded your dreams?

Were they surprised?

Yes and yes. I let them in, they should not have come there.
