Anyone have any images that go well with Jakub Rozalski's 1920+ world? I want to run a campaign based on it and I need more images.

Posting some of his stuff in the meantime.

Previous Thread: >46403014

Song of Swords is a realistic fantasy tabletop RPG that draws inspiration from historical fechtbuchs, weapons and armor. Its combat system is fast and it can be used for both fantasy and historical/mundane settings.

Call of the Void is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.

Here's a .rar archive with the newest version of the rules as well as all related current working documents. At this time the latest version is v1.9.9:

There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
The room might be empty, but the people who teach the game still browse the thread frequently. If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread. We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room.

So I just finished up running a fairly long game and I asked my players what they wanted to play for the next one. They said 5e as some have played and enjoyed it and the rest wanted to try it. I've yet to actually run a game of it, only play through it when it first came out, so I agreed. I set about making a setting and campaign while trying to be too cliched when I had a sudden realization; Why?

Why avoid the cliche? Why not run a game of the MOST cliche'd, cartoonish, in your fucking face with it's big floppy Dungeons and Dragons dick game of D&D ever? I've decided to not avoid the cliche, but EMBRACE IT and give my players the most blatant D&D experience possible. No parody, no "winking at the camera" so to speak, just straight and hard D&D.

A stalwart group of adventurers recruited in the shady tavern to scour the undercity for the Tome of the Lich of Lysaloth, fighting dragons for their hoards of gold and rubies, orcs and goblins out the ass.

I'd personally prefer to do this in an older addition that is more suited for this kinda thing, but I think 5e should work fine. My question for y'all is what you think I should do to make this the most truly Dungeons and Dragons game that is possible. Let's get wonderfully unoriginal.

I'm sorry for the obvious beginner question that probably belongs in a FAQ, but I need to have expert opinion on how dice work.

I think it's good practice to hold your dice 20/10/6/whatever up, but what exactly does it cause? My group was of the opinion that it charges up the desired result, but I myself think it's more about conditioning the die to show the number.

Or is it something else? Can it actually be detrimental? Could it drain the energy of that result, increasing the chance of other results instead?

OK tg, I need your help, your my only hope. I suck really really hard at warhammer 40k and I have no idea how to get better. I've lost every single game I've ever played to my friend and i've only ever once gotten close to tying with him.

This is especially sad because I'm a necron player and he is a chaos/tyranid player. I should be roflstomping with my op army (I don't play them because they're op I play them because I like the theme)

My army compositions usually consists of
-A ghost arc with 10 warriors
-10 warriors
-10 tesla immortals
-an overlord with rez orb
-imotek
-5 lychguard with shields
-ctan nightbringer
-doomscyth/nightscythe depending on how i feel

stuff I change in and out depending
-a triarch stalker
- a spyder with 5 scarabs
- 3 tomb blades
- monolith

my friend usually uses lots of carnifexes with mortars, lots of termagants, flyrants and hormagaunts

and for his chaos he uses typhus, two squads of chaos terminators usually used with power fists. two rhinos, a heldrake, a squad of 8 bikes with mark of nurgle, chaos havoc squads with lascannons, and lots of zombies

The heldrake usually just rampages around destroying all my warriors, the bikes ride up to my ghost ark and punch it to death and there is nothing I can do because I can't kill them. His lascannons usually destroy all my stuff from afar and I can never hold any objectives. HIs terminators deepstrike and rek my immortals and my scarabs and spyder usually die in turn 1 or 2. I can't kill the bikes no matter how much I shoot them (I try to light those fuckers up but nothing works). He's also going to be getting warp talons soon.

I know I need to just get good, and it's hard to describe exactly the strategies that I'm using to you guys so you can accurately pinpoint what I"m doing wrong, but I need some tips.
