Age of Sigmar actually fits what you are looking for. Your dudes aren't isolated since it's possible to travel in and in between different gigantic realms.
And for playing undeads just buy a box of zombies and a necromancer. They do not cost that much in the long run.

Warhammer rules are great, age of Sigmar is sort of meh in my opinion but works too. Go with the undead or vampire counts army or whatever the fuck their name is now days, you get to run necromancers that can reinforce or summon up zombie/skeleton units in battle by raising the dead.

If the price of models is an issue (plus gw zombies suck) look at kings of war models instead for your rank and file, just use gw shit for hero or important units. Loads of campaign material is available for warhammer and you can get pdfs of all of it if you do a little digging.

Frostgrave is what you're looking for. A cheap campaign driven fantasy skirmish AND it is all the hype right now, so you will actually find players for it. In short: you have a little warband lead by a wizard and they search a lost city for magic stuff. I never played it myself, but afaik your wizard can be a necromancer.
AoS is not what you're looking for imo. I don't even hate the game, but if you're put off by expensive models/armies, that is the first problem. 2nd is, that right now it is in a state where everyone is waiting for the supplement, that makes it officially playable. And then it will probably have the same balancing issues that all GW games have AND it's really not made for an elaborate campaign mode. Also the fluff is the cheapest excuse for dudes fighting each other in the history of fantasy wargames. I really don't want to hate on AoS, but first take a look at Frostgrave.
3rd option, if you plan on playing with a friend/relative only, and so build 2 forces anyway, you can go for any game. So you might want to take a look at Song of Blades and Heroes and it's various supplements. It needs even fewer models/terrain than frostgrave and also has a campaign mode (iirc). It has no fluff though, so you have to make up your own stories, or buy models that already have a background (like lord of the rings, song of ice and fire and you normal warhammer fantasy dudes) and play with that.

We just had a general for fantasy skirmishes, it might still be up, they had most of the SoBH pdfs.

Sorry if my story is not detailed enough, game with 90 characters (including the GMs) that lasts for 7 hours is hard to compress in a few lines.

anon, honest question here: are you on drugs?

>>47854410

No, just trying to unwind from the larp. I posted most of the main points of the game here, where people talk about gaming.

Probably something rules lite, like this.

You can use skills, sanity, etc, and the system is easily added to

What a sex-bomb.
If she blows like I think she does, then I will Hiroshima her Nagasaki, if you know what I mean.
She will explode with pleasure after I'm done with her.
Too fat, though, probably weighs like a megaton.

But why do you care about that? Just be a chaos cultist.

>>47852393
Don't worship Khorne or Slaanesh and you should be fine.

>>47852393
Just have your character like.. Do the right thing man.

You keep the good, trim the fat. You'll never get an exact copy of a campaign just because the nature of people, but you can take all the parts that definitely were the best and reuse them in different places.

I write whatever happen in my game on my diary but mostly for memories, you know, I want to read that 20 years from now

Never come to me the idea of playing the same campaign with a different group.

I try and keep notes, usually I forget. I've started making forms to keep track.

I share scenarios. Whole campaigns need more flexibility, it's hard to write them out. But I tend to share scenarios that don't come directly from the campaigns I'm playing just because those have chapters with very specific conditions and they cater to the characters. For something to put on the web I want to keep it much more flexible.

Swords are metaphors for penises.

I recommend you do a pre-game brainstorm to figure out how the PCs know each other and why they're hanging out at all.

As of now i have a quest to find and kill a lich who made an undead legion and is attacking some towns. thus the party goes to kill it but cannot find the phylactery. they go all over the place to try to find it only to discover the lich's phylactery is another lich, its wife. the reason for the attacks was to be reunited. they can kill both of them or let them be happy idc which.

Off the top of my head:
-Perry Miniatures
-Warlord Games
-Wargames Foundry (metals only)
That's assuming you're sticking with 28mm. You get into 1/72, you get spoiled for choices.

Gonna play some SAGA, by any chance? Watch out for the FUCKING Welsh

>>47848135
Yeah, saw it on YouTube and thought it looked neat.
but what about the Welsh?

A fantasy setting I'm working on has a big golem/construct focus. Like a magical I,Robot, golems build and move and deliver. But for a long time, Creators have been trying to make golems that could think. A great Creator reworks tye very nature of the basics of golem creation and golems can think, but at a price. They increased complexity of golem brains leads to more energy expended, which adds to wear and tear. Golems now have to occaisionally recharge at wells of power. This has led to a strange shift in behavior, golems now have places relatively free of living interactions, and they only interact with eachother. They are creating their own culture, even their own language.

I had a plan for a small side quest before. Village girl was going to turn out to be the homonculus of a long dead alchemist. Unlike most who lose their creator, she was pretty sane and had just taken up running her "mother's" apothecary for the village. But she wanted to be a real human, maybe try that dating thing humans seemed to enjoy so much, eat food, sleep and dream, all that stuff. But she needed the PCs to help find certain reagents that could push her animation to true life...

... and then one player pointed out that constructs can be polymorphed into other creatures just fine and a minor item the girl could easily afford would solve her problems quite handily.

Every time I write up/run a sci fi game, I always find a way to work in androids because I love androids.

I'm planning up a space opera game right now and I'm working on how to include them. I want to take a leaf out of Bladerunner's book, and make them illegal to some degree. But I can't decide if they should be completely illegal or just banned on certain planets.

I'm leaning towards the former.

I don't know anon, it seems to be working out for her so far.

>>47845163
depends on a lot of variables that you've failed to mention.

Have you read the core rulebook for the edition you're playing?

>>47844813

Helps to read the fucking rulebook, champ. :))

You can also try finding some live recordings of DnD sessions on youtube, they'll give you an idea of what happens in a game.
