It actually has more to do with the time periods in question, the 80's and 90's.
Visual aesthetics were different back then.

>>48087254

Remember when the audience was about 1/10th or less of its current size and revenue generation so now one gave a shit about the standards of a cottage industry and it's potential future revenue?

Me too!

To be fair, everyone was naked in Dark Sun.

>>What is the name of your primarch and legion? What is their number, and what are their heraldric symbols? What colors do your marines paint their armor?
Alexios the White, of The Angels of Light. They wear purple armor with red details and gold filigree. Their symbols and culture are similar to the Byzantine Greeks of old Earth. They paint angelic frescoes on the hulls of their drop pods, transports, and vehicles, and their Veteran Guard ride jetbikes with golden wings.

>>What are your legion's tactics? Do they fight with cunning or strength? What sort of equipment do they favor? What sort of enemy would you call them for?
The Angels are masters of compliance. Their Cataphract pattern terminators, Speeder jet bikes, and drop infantry are a rapidly-deployable force which can end a planet's resistance forces quickly. Alexios is a master tactician and has written a library of texts on the subject. Angelic jetbike riders are the best of all Astartes, and no other legion can outmaneuver them in the open.

>>What are your primarch's feelings about Sorcery and the Warp? What arguments or statements does he make at Nikaea?
Alexios thinks the warp is evil. Nikaea was a world brought to compliance by the Angels of Light, and he stood for Censure against the witches.

>What is the name of your primarch and legion? What is their number, and what are their heraldric symbols? What colors do your marines paint their armor?
Graha'nak, The Beast in Void, The Jaws that Bite, The Claws that Catch, Primarch of the Void Lords. Legion designation XVI, Heraldric symbols are three red claw slashes on a black field. Armor colors are black (primary) and purple, with red wings on their chest with a golden skull at the center.
>What are your legion's tactics? Do they fight with cunning or strength? What sort of equipment do they favor? What sort of enemy would you call them for?
Legionary tactics include shock assault, close combat, and planetary cleansing from orbit. They favor getting in close with the enemy and rely on their higher than average (for Astartes) strength to crush their foes. Close combat weapons are highly prevalent amongst the legion. Legionnaires fight in teams of three rather than in squads. Their team being their kill-band.
>What are your primarch's feelings about Sorcery and the Warp? What arguments or statements does he make at Nikaea?
There is no librarius amongst the legion. Psykers are accepted as regular brothers, just ones with extra training in their specific craft. While accepted, they are also watched for signs of falling to the warp, their brothers within their kill-band ready to do their duty if it should come to it. The Legion sent no representatives to Nikea, they view the conclave and its rulings as petty.

How 'bout you post a map that's not a clustered piece of imbalanced shit with godawful chokepointing? Last time I played that Caelum literally shat over everyone from the skys because they had MM3 and the rest of us had MM1.

>>48066131
I'm pretty sure he posted it because it looks like an actual fantasy maps.
The way the province system works, the maps that are good for gameplay don't look like actual fantasy setting maps. Especially since most of them are wrap around.

>>48066207
How hard is "No giant chunks of sametype, no egregious chokepoints, no fuck-you spawns"?

STEP 1 Go to the last thread if you haven't looked at it. >>47916579 it has a ton of stuff I don't want to repost. Look through the the posted open source pdfs.

STEP 2 Grab your Documents: Da Archive is now multiple documents.

Da Archive: Bigger, and maybe bettter than ever.

Da Archive Annex is where the newest links go.before I scrub them and put them in Da Archive.

Da Archive for Avast Anons is the May 8 version which should work properly for them. This version will not be updated.

Da Wish List is comprised of unfulfilled desires.

STEP 4 Get a coffee or other beverage, get comfortable and browse through the blasted thing. It is only 35 pages long. If you skim over the Personal Collections without really looking you will miss 10,000 pdfs.

STEP 7 If you want MORE, you can go to find more PDFs in storage here: http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/subject/PDF%20share/ and here: http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/subject/PDFs/

STEP 4.53
Please give as much information as you can when you make a request. The more information you give (cover, a link to product, name of designer/writer/publisher) - the more chances someone might recognize it and upload it.

STEP 5 Please be patient with the irrepressible urchins who request without looking first. They help bump the thread, and they want to look at something that's not porn. They might even read it. You don't have to answer them, although that also bumps the thread.

STEP 6 Rumors of Da Archivist being an A.I. from the Deep Web are unfounded.

Please only post open source pdfs directly on the board. link the others from elsewhere.
Excessive infractions could cause TPTB to remove the ability to post any pdfs at all.
Check for copyrights before you post anything directly.

Please be respectful and don't belittle others' requests because you dislike the game. Imagine the horrific RPGs I've run across. 'Dragon Dildo Warriors', 'Cheetos & Dew', and 'We're All Little Girls (Frilly Dresses Are Mandatory At the Table)' spring to mind.

If any kind Anon has the main directory links for Anon Y Mous, Samurai Flix Lover, Neon Samurai, and Alex 3 on Mediafire, please post them.

Please post dead links and I will remove them to keep the archive up to date.

My personal quest is for -
New Delta Green Supplements except Need to Know
Whirls of Catthulhu
Amber Aspects.pdf
Amber Nobles of Amber.pdf
Amber Revised Basic Mechanics for Amber.pdf
Fragged Empires- "Let Sleeping Gods Lie"
Fragged Empires- Protagonist Archive 1
Fragged Empires- - "Genetic Spectres"
Fragged Empires- DM Screen

>High fantasy problems

>>48122420
You could have multiple gods who govern the same aspects and have them in conflict with gods who do the same thing. All of them are competing to prove themselves to be the one true god of fire or whatever.

All of them could have different approaches to how they govern those aspects too.

>>48122420
That's pretty much how Japanese shintoism (and other animistic religions) work. There's a god/spirit for every notable landmark or natural formation, as well as one for every object or concept. One manga poked fun at this by introducing gods such as the god of the floppy disk and the god of the CD, both rendered obsolete by the god of the DVD (who himself worried about getting replaced by the god of the Blueray). Every time a new technology is developed, a god associated with it also comes into existence. In this case it wasn't worship that powered the gods, as much as people interacting with the objects they represent.

>there's one shared system of videogame logic
Which logic is that?

>>48105846
no anime allowed

>>48105882
Probably clear, consistent rules.

People who say shit like
>this is not a videogame!
are fucking allergic to that shit.

It's kinda sad how fucked up the gaming side of 40k and the 40k community is. People who are the least bit competitive can be fucking ostracized, and players with even vaguely top-tier codices need to walk on damn eggshells.

I just want to have fun /tg/

Why is your army the most fun?
