What can you tell me about this game? How popular it is? How good it is? I'm trying to get into wargaming so I know jack shit I don't really like the fact that this is the most generic setting possible but on the other hand it's cheaper than Warhammer Fantasy so there is that.
Cheap minis, simple rules. Good game, I say.
Minis are horrible.
>>44687813
Minis are a mixed bag but luckily you're under no obligation to use them even at official tournaments so just use whatever you like.
How do you portbest raceover to Shadowrun?
From what I know elves, orgre, and trolls are pretty much just humans with a birth defect, so how would Skaven start popping up?
Would it more or less be the same way?
>>44685374
Class III SURGE. You wont have a whole swarm though.
>>44685440
>Swarm.
Brown rats have litters up to 14, you can easily say that they more or less went at it like rabbits.
Plus a corp having a small swarm of Skaven guarding their important things would make some at least hesitant runners.
>>44685517

HA
What beings, other than Ungoliant and Castlevania Dracula, could beat Chaos of the Warhammer universes?
Saitama
Son Goku
Superman

Superboy Prime is probably the strongest DC character for certain. Arguably any fourth dimensional being, although they seem to be beholden to retcons.
Grant Morrison in a really strange way, since he continued establishing the multiverse and layers of multiverses which in the narrative are real, meaning our world Grant Morrison made the rules for all realities, everywhere.
>>44684759
Thought Robot says hi. At least he didn'tget beat by the Teen Titans
So who wants to hear a story about how my Cities/Towns whole gaming scene died?
not really, but thanks for the offer
>>44684484
Okay, tell me your story
>>44684484
Either tell your story or get out but stop being an attention whore.
Does middle earth's map actually make any sense from a geological perspective?
Why is Mordor perfectly boxxed in by those mountains at right angles?
Why isn't that range down the middle casting a rain shadow?
Also map making thread, I guess
Middle Earth was crafted by a pantheon of demi gods. Morder was made as a fortress for the fallen demi god.
Realistic geography can frankly go fuck itself. I'm getting tired of this uber-realism trend currently infecting fantasy.
>>44684314
So what you're saying is
"I'm tired of this "masterworked Cartographer's map" bullshit in fantasy..."?
Have you ever tried to build a drug organization from scrap, /tg/? Did you succeed? Did the GM let you run with it?Hard mode: Have you ever tried it in an atypical setting, such as a D&D campaign?
Did it in star wars.
We ended up with a whole lot of ships but not much cash.
>>44683884
In a fantasy setting it'd be easy peesy depending on the drug. It's the timesink you have to think about. In a fantasy setting one would think that most drugs are derived from plants. And like all plants they go from a vegetation cycle (long sunlight hours) to production or flowering cycle (end of summer through fall)
I suppose that could easily be fixed in DnD with priest spells.
Hah permanent sunlight spell cast on a rock that's now a grow light.
Thats manufacturing to sell.
Selling brings much much much more risk if it's an illicit substance in the current kingdom.
To manufacture and sell is the biggest (but most profitable risk)
So ideally you would want to set up a network to distribute it to.
Or find someone to fence it though in bulk. Remember bulk means more weight for less profit.
So a typical thieves guild or other shady characters would be a good place to get rid of goods.
Or create a network yourself.
Young upstarts with big dreams of chests of gold come in well here.
Loyalty there is the problem.
Never trust ANYONE. No matter how long you've been in business with them.
You have to find men with long term gains in mind. And never trust a Redguard. They can't help to keep their hands out of the cookie jar.
And never let a woman know about your business.
Sold drugs more on than off since the late 90s.
Retired from that game 2 years ago.
I can give a RL perspective on just about any situation if you want.
>>44683884
>Have you ever tried to build a drug organization from scrap, /tg/? Did you succeed?
Yeah, but there was just no way around the local pushers. Had to bail out before they did something nasty to me for stealing their clientele.
Oh wait, you mean in games? Lol no.
/tg/, I have a question: Could the 40k community, and possibly miniature wargaming community, as a whole survive the utter death of GW? As in, nothing new. Ever. If you want it, you gotta buy it used. And don't even think about anything new.
Basically, in this scenario, GW is obliterated, its IP's under lockdown. It ceases to exist as a miniature company. Would another company rise to the challenge? Could the 40k community hold together?
>>44683465
90% of the 40k community would be gone within a year or two.
>>44683465
Boys will always have their toys, but I feel that the community would likely collapse fairly quickly.
>>44683465
Look at what happened to the fantasy scene with Age of Sigmar. Nothing prevented them from continuing to use what they already were, and yet any discussion had pretty much vanished.
Small groups will endure, but the community as a whole will struggle to have much presence.
The only hope is that forums or fansites could adjust quickly and focus their efforts on offering conversion ideas, painting guides, 3rd party model suggestions, and basically stepping up keep interest going.

Recap of last thread:
>Nancy the Friendly Ghoul is Awesome.
>Donald Trump and Thulsa Doom will make America great again.
>Ben 'the Migo Mutilator' Garrison is not to be fucked with.
Fun fact of the day: You need roughly 12,000 Eyes of Light and Darkness to cover the surface area of the USA.
To start off with a topic of discussion: Serpent Men have access to highly advanced technological knowledge but it is almost always only represented with them packing a Death Ray pistol that in some way mimics the ray guns from Mars Attacks. My favorite is a gun that doesn't inflict HP damages, it shoots a beam of mercury colored energy/matter that inflicts permanent CON damage. Now that might not sound like a big deal to a human PC whose life span is measured in seconds when fighting a powerful Serpent Man (you are going to die anyway, who cares if it is bullets or whatever that kills you instantly) but for many Mythos entities that is pretty scary. That fucking snake has a gun that can permanently cripple or kill a Star Spawn or a Shoggoth.
Besides horrific death rays what technology do Serpent Men possess? It is mentioned several times in CoC that Elder Things and The Great Race of Yith will study and put into a Library any Snake tech they find so it must be useful, however exactly what their tech does isn't very clear. My best guess is that due to their individualist psychology it is all related to personal power or finding knowledge, not things intended for 'the greater good' not to say they don't understand the concept. A serpent Mans idea of 'the Greater Good' is a secure mythos free Earth with snakes telling the clever monkeys what to look out for. Sadly the Snakes are probably right.

Bumping for Delta Green and Ben 'the Chthonian castrator' Garrison.

GREAT IDEA, guise:
DnD is now scifi. Like all the items and npcs and loot are all scifi stuff. So awesome!
But should I laser my guns, or gun my lazors?
lel, so rendem!

Super regeneration conditioning seems like a really OP skill. What were the devs thinking when they wrote the rules for it? It allows a single PC to overshadow the rest of the party. Ridiculous.
>>44681966
Wut?

>>44681966
Near as I can tell, it's not even regenration.
He's just clenching mortal wounds non-stop (throughout his daily life, etc.) until they're able to heal normally.
>>44681992
It's from a manga called Helck.
It's good, you should read it.

I know right? Now we can't play that game anymore because there are now more up to date editions of it.
>>44681244
Implying that every version of OGLd20-Fantasy isn't 100% compatable with every other version.

I think OP was talking about back when /tg/ had a sense of humour.
what happened? why is this $25+ all of a sudden?
>>44679927
People thought it was going to be reprinted for some reason and jumped on the hype train
>>44679927
Modern season is starting so expect more shekel grabbing
>>44679927
I'm actually tempted to trade mine away since I never use them, but I'm scared that they may hit $50 with no reprints ever.
What good system let's me be a fencer /tg/?

If you like crunchy 3e-style systems (but maybe you don't like 3e because it's shitty and unbalanced and martials are subjected to terrible feats like "Basic Competence: Owners of this feat won't stab themselves in the dick when they roll 8 or less") you could check out FantasyCraft. It's got crunchy, tactical wargame combat, but is well balanced (everything is a bit gonzo) and the martials are fantastic. Pic related, it's the fencing tree. The whole thing; you'll have plenty of feats left to take other cool abilities to synergize with your fencing if you like.
Notice how you can enter total defence and auto-hit someone who enters an adjacent square. Then if they miss ('cause you're in total defence) you can step back and draw them out to follow you. Which means they just stepped into your adjacent square again, so you can auto-hit them a second time, because "I'm a master fencer, get fucked, NPC."

What do you think /tg/? Mix in terminators, abhumans, and raiders, alongside whatever flavor of the week you want in the AI's mind
Sounds like a solid premise for a post apoc cyberpunk game. Make sure to have things be arcane enough to be manipulate blend, but not really understood.

but then again, if its been so long that futuristic megacities are falling into disrepair, then the scavenger inhabitants working mojo to ge tlights or heat from ancient machines might not appreciate things in the same logic-based way we do.
Imagine a clapper being plugged into the last light in the last room in the last building. We know to clap to activate the light. Some poorly evolved mutant screwhead might not know what clapping is, and might slap themselves in the face to make the light work, and then come to the logic that self-flaggation makes it turn on the light. and then that might lead to a whole slew of implications like a belief system based on the light god who requires worshipers to beat the shit out of their faces to make the heavens shine.
savvy?
