First off, I hope you know you are showing the australian prices. Those are expensive, period.

Second off, the Start Collecting box sets are the exception to GW pricing, not the rule.

Third off, do we really need another GW price thread? Hasn't this been discussed to death? Yes, GW is overpriced. Play something else.

Not saying it isn't overpriced (it sure is lol), but to be fair AoS is built around needing less models.

What the fuck? Are they made of gold or something?

Thanks, but I'd rather not have a bunch of racists tell me how Hitler was a hero parrot around the "WE WUZ KINGZ" meme.

For something with say 5 people searching for the dairy, could you have them decide as a.group ahead of time how many people are going to help search, and then take the average of the 5 rolls. You could even make some charts ahead of time with nber of people and degrees of success. So like if all 5 people play they need an average of 65, but if it is only 4 the. They need a 60.

>>44677939
Have you tried talking to your players about this?

>>44678085
Yes, they think it's perfectly fair.

Or I should say, they think it's very unfair when I try to limit them. "So what if the strongest character wasn't able to pull the rusted lever. I want to try to pull it, I might get lucky!" Queue some sort of discussion about being able to open a jar after someone else tries.

I mean, it's good they get to advance, but in some cases it makes it impossible to create real obstacles or tension since they seem to succeed at everything eventually.

Yeah, played it a bit, enjoyed it a lot. The system's not great, can be pretty imbalanced, but there are interesting options for player.

maybe the player and the cleric viewed a vampire mistress as not that bad in comparison to the stuff gained from swearing allegiance to her?

>>44677304
Honestly depends how he roleplayed that shit, probably wouldn't have been on at my table, the vengeance pally and the other cleric would have murdered him and his mistress

>>44678902
No his character knew it was against his religion (The religion he follows is completely against any form of undead, and the only reason he didn't fully attack on sight is because he still isnt fully trained.) but thought eh whatever gloves of +2 strength are worth it. He then praised himself (in character) for not being a paladin so he didnt lose any abilities.

The "Hero of Vior'la," "Protege of Puretide," "The Bane of Greenskins," and the leader of "The Eight", Commander Farsight is the great hero of the Damocles Gulf campaign before he founded the Farsight Enclaves spreading the Greater Good to previously unreached areas of the Galaxy and producing as many if not more warriors than great Vior'la herself!

Playing at high levels is a bad idea, but not for any of the reasons you say. You're wrong about pretty much everything. The idea that you need to be high-level to revel in PC power or that players are going to start doing that when they level up is utterly terrible.

Playing at high levels is a bad idea because designers don't test high-level stuff. The game breaks down really fast. As an example that I'm sure everyone remembers, D&D 3rd edition went to print despite breaking down at high levels because the higher-level stuff wasn't well-tested and most groups don't get past level 6 anyway. For an example that old-timers like me recall, older editions had avatars of gods with like 90 hp. You were supposed to kill them then retire to go be a king somewhere or some shit, crowned by your own hand Conan-style because you were just that hard. You weren't actually supposed to keep playing past level 9, past that Thar Be Dragons...I mean utterly untested content!

You know what my take on high-level play is? Things fall apart because it becomes impossible for people to take everything into account. At low levels, the players and the DM are going to be on the same page. The DM knows what the PC can do and what they should want to do, and the players have a good general idea of the threats and challenges ahead of them. But at higher levels, there's a chance of divergence. Our last campaign was very underwhelming because the DM basically expected us to be up to speed with the powers of enemies we'd never seen before (in and out of character) while most of us were RPing characters who weren't exactly into party cohesion (bunch of random people forced to run errants for vastly more powerful people).

Low-level stuff basically plays itself, but high-level stuff requires both more effort in preparation and socially. The best quest I've ver run as a DM was the very first quest of the campaign, and for the reasons I mentioned: Things were clear. I could anticipate what people would do, it was a closed environment, and they did not have unpredictable powers. And because money didn't matter a whole lot, the party actually cared about the nuances of the setting.

Plus at high-levels its fucking hard to do a nice dungeon or quest for your PCs. And you lose a lot of variability in creatures.

>12-Year old Adam accidentally looks into his grandfather's enchanted mirror while helping clean out his attic during a boring summer vacation. The two of them were transported into The Spirit World, where Adam's grandfather was promptly kidnapped by The Nightmare King. Adam will have to battle all 77 Spooks to assemble the key to The Nightmare King's palace before it's too late.

ADAM: "Jeez! It's such a nice day out, but I can't stop thinking about how Grandpa's doing!"
>Adam skips a flat stone across the waters of the river, upsetting the fish and causing them to scatter, clacking their jaws.
>Adam is approached by his companion in The Spirit World. Who is it?

That's literally the plot of Heavy Metal.

I got a Villian idea from a dream. A colossal scrap metal golem with a lot of unusual features. Every time he gets killed he comes back smaller, more refined, smarter, and with less distractions that extend your lifespan.

>>44674527
No, that's part of the description of one of the characters in Heavy Metal. The plot is that the orb is an evil fucker leading people to their doom until it's finally destroyed. You'd think it'd be easy to keep these things apart, but with sufficient stupidity the most astonishing things becomes reality it seems.

>>44674242
It gets around shroud/hexproof and I think Protection since it doesn't target.

The imaginary character isn't actually with the party. The delusional character is constantly "talking to" the figment on his phone or radio.

One of the GTA games did this, I think.
