You either GM the game you want to play in

Or play in games you couldn't possibly want

> Runic spells are cast by speaking runic sentences aloud, the precise pronunciation, grammatical position, and relative context of the runes involved all have a profound effect on the spell itself.

>>55407513

> Rather than atoms, molecules, and particles, reality itself is comprised of infinite interlocking runes, each of which has a static effect on one another based on the relative position of the runes themselves and those near them.

Not true at all, 8th allows for small points games

>>55407365
But does anybody actually play those sizes?

That's more then good to start. Expect to spend more in the future, but $300 is a good chunk. Just try to stretch those dollars by finding deals, LGS might give a 10%+ discount etc. And GW's start collecting boxes give a good discount on their content, as long as those mini's are useful to your army.

No idea if Ad Mech is a good starter army, but their damn cool mini's. Just don't blow your $300 wad in one go. I'd say get maybe 1-2 start collecting boxes, assemble/paint, and try some small games 1st. If you get into the habbit of buying too much 1st, you'll end up with a closet full of unbuilt boxes.

Depends.

Is the Emperor a warp god, because if so, then yes.

Or at least one Omnissiah is.

Sounds like a (you) problem. All of my campaigns have finished, and I enjoy playing with my friends.

>>55407087
So while >>55407266 has a point, and you may be depressive or something, or maybe your attitude is changing and you need to find a new hobby, it could also be that other factors in your life are making it harder to enjoy your gaming. I find that one big issue is when you work a lot or have a family; what little gaming time you have suddenly becomes more important, and your demand for quality goes up, and may go beyond what your friends are capable of, and even beyond what's acceptable to expect from a game in the first place. You have so little free time that you want what you do have to be worthwhile, so things you used to casually enjoy when you had time to spare have to step up or step out and make way for more concentrated enjoyment. Honestly it sucks when this happens because nobody is at fault really. It's just a shitty situation.

>>55407087
>What stopped you from quitting TTRPGs TG?

fun>game.

I realised the actual game/campaign wasn't as important as having a great group that takes shit less seriously and just has fun without needing everything to be super-serious.

I also added rules for the Dealer to decide on the difficulty of the Challenge, which can result in him being allowed to start with and play more cards, depending on how tough it's supposed to be.

Tricks were finally written out, with the suggestion from a friend to base them off of Poker hands and generally try to keep them active (rather than passive benefits) to add a level of tactical play to the game, which should satisfy the player who found the "War" playstyle a little lacking.

The Cards originally had four abilities, one for Jack, Queen, King, and Ace, with the JQK abilities basically being scaled up versions of one another (J < Q < K) and the Ace being unique. That's been simplified to JQK sharing the same ability, since their probabilities of showing up are equal, and the Ace ability being unique to each Card.

Anyway, I'm planning on running a second test with the updated rules next week, but I was hoping to get some feedback from /tg/ beforehand. Also WildCards General I suppose. With more brains, maybe we can get this game finished.

Next big project is gonna be finishing up the Cards.

Why not give the dealer a hand? Can't be fun as the dealer to just constantly top deck the whole game.

Could consider giving the dealer a few abilities like the slingers get.

>>55406898

That's definitely a possibility. Originally the idea was to keep the Dealer mechanically impartial so he can focus on directing the story, but that doesn't seem all that necessary.

Maybe I'll have the Dealer draw cards each Play equal to the number of 'Slinger's plus one, so that way the longer the Challenge goes on, the more options the Dealer has, forcing the 'Slingers to try to snatch fast wins or get overwhelmed.

The Dealer does get abilities with the Jack, Queen, King, Ace, and Joker, which were added after the play test.

>Jack: Each 'Slinger discards a card from their hand.
>Queen: Each 'Slinger skips their next Reload.
>King: The Dealer removes the lowest Ranking Card from each 'Slinger's Pile.
>Ace: Dealer gets an extra Play.
>Joker: The Dealer can discard one 'Slinger's Pile, effectively forcing them to restart.

>Are there games where their version of alignment was done better, in a way that DOESN'T let anyone think that they're supposed to be an unbreakable code of ethics for a character, but still holds mechanical value?
Yes.

Any game without alignment.

>Are there games where their version of alignment was done better, in a way that DOESN'T let anyone think that they're supposed to be an unbreakable code of ethics for a character, but still holds mechanical value?

Literally D&D default alignment mechanics.

The interpretation you're using is the problem here, not the mechanics. So changing mechanics isn't going to solve your problem.

>hurr I can't read

>>55406217
probably, I've honestly been playing with alignments with different definitions on the background for so long that I can't even remember what they're supposed to accomplish in the first place

>>55406077
What isn't evil about Cthulhu coming from out of space and telling humans to kill themselves so they can stop having to be physical? That's not religion, that's widespread clinical depression.

>>55406077
Kinda what >>55406106 said. The alien god is described as being so far removed from our reality as to be largely irrelevant for day to day life, unless you're crazy enough to try to liberate yourself from your mortal coil to join him. Why would a farmer or similar regular person care about such a deity, beyond "kids these days and their elder gods"?

>>55406077
It could work in a metaphysical sense.
The monomyth is an idea offered to explain why the human angst exists. The idea is passed down by Creator (who is brother to mankind, mind you) and reinterpreted by man into the myriad cultures.
A proposed gnostic Outsider would then be offering a competing monomyth and be seditious as shit.
Of course then you'd have humans interpreting the Outsider as being the original and that the "Creator" is a pretender.
Really your system isn't much different from the current lines of gnostic thought. The only difference I can tell is there's this vague implication that your deities are at least partially manifest-able into singular, distinct forms.

What is your opinions on husbandos?

>>55405293
How about they're whatever people think they are and we don't get into stupid arguments because this is a Single Player Game.

Go watch pick of destiny again and do that.

>>55405015

Here's the thing: it doesn't have to be a romantic epic/messianic story/archetypal myth, because there are other structures of story everyone is familiar with thanks to tv and popular novels. So...why not a murder mystery?

Everyone has seen Colombo or CSI or read a Agatha Christie novel or seen one of the movie adaptations. You can set it during an Immigrant Song style Lief Erikson visitation of Vikings to the New World, with the mysticism/Faerie stuff of Come Sail Away.

You made me think of Tenacious D's "Wonderboy" for the first time in years. It's golden inspiration, thank you.
