Looks fancy, but why would you have one outside of the novelty factor?

I think its pretty awesome.

Not enough best husbando

But Innistrad was fine. Dark Ascension was cards that couldn't fit into Innistrad. Avacyn Restored was terrible for limited but had some powerful constructed cards, including possibly the most powerful creature ever printed if cheated into play, Griselbrand.

Was your character nearsighted and deaf or something?

>>44734026
Not at all. I was playing a Half-Orc Ranger/Bard

>>44733870
Did it matter if it was raining? Like, were you trying to set fire to the roof as a distraction or something, or was he just wasting time?

indeed.

also, I've been working on a hacking system...

potential steps go
1.)Attacking Programs use Processor as the to-hit attribute.
>What sorts of attack programs will we have?
>Limit attack programs? Based on what?
2.)Firewall(not firewall bonus) soaks the hacking result and is depleted.
>A Half-action taken by the target replenishes Firewall
>A Full-action initiates a counter-hack (opposed Processor Test)
3.)Once Firewall is gone access to a system is granted.
>Crash(shut down, potentially collecting Source)
>Delete Root(good by everything you mad bastard of an AI driven roto-rooter)
>Install Rootkit(delete footage of my being here, wait and attack the first thing to come through the door, etc.)
>Change Admin Access(some drones are simple enough to be stolen this way.)

Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop wargame.

Eldar are tied to the warp, and as far as anyone has ever found out, the Warp stops at the edge of the galaxy

IC Answer: The Eldar have unfinished Business, travel would leave the absolutely alone for tens of thousands of years, there's no webway to other galaxies, and this galaxy is their home. To run would be to admit defeat, and in all odds mean dying alone in obscurity. Besides, who says the rest of the universe is any better?

Paladin doomed to get brainwashed every single night of his life until he would become a neutral husk of itself, and not even get any recognition for his deeds no matter how hard fought they were because at the last second his hard fought victory was stolen by an NPC (even though he had everything under control).
He managed to get the girl, but his descendants would had looked horrible, and probably doomed to his same brainwashing fate.

And that was the good ending.

Oh wait, there was another time when they were fighting some sort of monster with a big mouth and the blackguard, the only one left with more than a quarter of his hp, grabbed a bunch of vials of alchemists fire (or something similar, it's been a while, they were objects that broke and caused fire damage) and rolled to shove them down the things throat and crush them inside it. He killed the thing and his arm was ruined.

I've actually got a soft spot for some of these old 90's children's board games and their mechanical gimmicks. Pic-related was one of my favorites; make your pawns out of playdoh and then watch them get mutilated if they're on the wrong spot at the wrong time.

Just picked up Dead of Winter, was a hit on our first playthrough.

I'm a hardcore wargamer looking to expand my collection of casual shit since I just moved and my friends here are either decent gamers but not into wargames, or scrubs and WAAGs. What can I get to lure them in?

OP of other thread here.

I can't delete it, so just let it die.

Also here's the questions for anyone wanting to answer them:

>what's the best deal you've ever had on a board game?

>Name your favorite board game with a one sentence reasoning explaining why.

>do you have drunken board game nights from time to time? Tell us about them.

>>44726906
Make sure to have one Standard for every 500 points, then I'd go with the priest.

whose skellingstons are cheaper - Mantic's or Wargames Factory's? (cannot go to gaming sites from work)

If you are in the US probably WGF - but WGF are very long to build.

PANIC

In the meantime, there are a number of things we can do to keep the thread bumped.

The first is talking about the OD book to come, which I know at least some of you have an interest in.

The other is non-mechanical improvements to the Player and GM books which, while a long ways down the line, do still need to happen. Examples of this would be art or fluff sections, or just rewriting the whole Second Impact World chapter to something that isn't a total embarrassment.

General AdEva discussion is also fine.

>I will be devoting my time and energy to getting the OD book off of the ground. Only when the OD book is ready for playtesting will I release a new draft of the Player GM books alongside it.

>My Loyal Crew

>First, let me talk a little bit about who’s going to be leading us on this little jaunt. There’s me, of course, but there’s also Mark Diaz Truman. He’s running all the business aspects of the project. Mark’s been in charge of the money matters at JWP since our first Kickstarter, way back in 2012. He’s organizing and designing the forthcoming 7th Sea: Second Edition Kickstarter, and when we launch, he’ll be handling any issues or questions that come up.

>Second, there’s the design team: Mike Curry and Rob Justice. Mike and Rob have been friends of mine for a long time and ran the Bear Swarm Podcast for years. They both have keen minds and great insight into what makes a good RPG tick. The three of us have been working on the revised system for 7th Sea (more on that in a moment) and we’ve been talking a lot about how the world.

>We’re planning a beautiful book too… so we’ve got some great folks putting together the final layout. Our art director is Marissa Kelly, responsible for the Epyllion game about little dragons and art director for a whole bunch of other companies, including Evil Hat and Storium. Thomas Deeny—you might know him from the new Firefly RPG from MWP—will be handling the graphic design of the Kickstarter and Quick Start.

>The More Things Change…

>7th Sea: Second Edition is going to see some changes from the first edition. When folks ask me, “What kind of changes?” I often invoke Battletar Galactica. I was a huge fan of the original show—I was ten years old when it came out—and I’m a fan of the reboot as well. In the new BSG, we still had Adama, Apollo, Starbuck, Cylons and everything I loved about the first show. Sure, they had new faces—and in some cases, new genders—but they were still those same characters, just with an updated feel. New special effects, new writing, new cast but same show.

>7th Sea: Second Edition is going to feel a lot like that. All the Nations are still there—Avalon, Castille, Vodacce, Ussura, etc.—but a few of them may have slight changes. Three of them have undergone slightly deeper changes. Eisen is going to be a whole lot scarier, for example. When you come across a small town of terrified villagers who look up to the castle on the hill where “the countess” lives… you’ll know you’re in Eisen. Ussura is getting a political facelift plus a new kind of sorcery that replaces shapeshifting. And the Vestenmennavanjar… well, let’s just say you don’t have to choose between “awesome merchant prince” and “awesome Viking raider” anymore; you can have both at the same time.

>I'm also adding a new nation to the list: The Sarmatian Commonwealth. I’ve visited Poland twice—goin again this year!—and every time I go, I hear the same question: “Why is there no Poland in 7t Sea?” After getting asked this question about a dozen times in an hour, I spent some time researching 17th Century Poland and my answer to that queston is now, “Because I was an idiot.” I made a promse the last time I was there that if I ever re-did 7th Sea, I would include Poland. Well, I’m keeping that promise. I’m very excited for the Commonwealth and after you see what we’ve been doing with its politics, sorcery and history, I thnk you wil be, too.

>A New Engine

>But the big question on most people’s minds is this one: “Are you using d20’s or Roll and Keep?” The answer is... neither.

>I love R&K. I helped design it back in the day. But the fact of the matter is, rolling a handful of dice and keeping two of them… isn’t very swashbuckly. If I want to feel like Errol Flynn, if I want to feel like the Dread Pirate Roberts, if I want to feel like Captain Jack Sparrow, I want to throw a handful of dice and use all of them. And that’s the new system we’ve designed for 7th Sea: Second Edition.

>We’re still using Trait + Skill (the “Traits are too important” folks are going to be very happy) and we’re still using Raises. Except now, you make Raises after the roll. Which means you get to feel like a Big Damn Hero.

>We’ve still got Brute Squads and Villains, but we’ve refined how they work. In fact, a lot of the new system can fall under that category. “We’ve refined how they work.” The new 7th Sea system is fast, elegant and dynamic. It isn’t overly simple and it isn’t like one of my “Littl Games.” But I fee it capturs the cinematic feel we were going for with the first edition of the game, but didnt quite reach. RPGs have changed a lot in almost 20 years, and I want 7th Sea to still stand out!

Could you post some examples then? Because the only one from him I've ever received where the cut was fucked up was a single Tarmogoyf and he gave me a discount after I told him about it.

All purchasable counterfeits are pretty much garbage at this point. The only reason to bother with them is if you're too lazy to print them out yourself, but you end up paying several hundred times what it cost to print them.

Stoneman had some literal shills here, but once a few idiots actually bought the cards and revealed how half-assed the product was, it seems that those shills disapp-

I bought from some random aliexpress chink last time but at least some of the cards he sent me were playable. They just look wrong, even trough double sleeving you catch the color and print issues. Some of them dont even fit into double sleeves.

Why can't FFG understand scale? The planet Damaris in the Frozen Reaches adventure has a population of 3 billion people yet has a military with only around 300,000 active combat troops in it. It should be 2 magnitudes larger than that.

I want to play a slime that molests people and dissolves them, kind of like Urotsukidōji

>>44707379
i remeber the idea of a slime lich.

You get attacked by the same slime along various adventures and at the end you realize that you had his phylacentrie in your backpack all tiem along.

I adore running expose, I love getting around the hidden information aspect of Netrunner and turning it against him. I enjoy pressuring servers I know he CAN'T rez. I like installing Rooks on their best piece of ICE so he can't just trash it to get rid of it.
