This is your weapon. It is an arbalest crossbow with a goat leg cocking mechanism. It is able to send a steel tipped bolt through 2mm of steel plate at 25 meters and is effective against unarmored targets at ranges of up to 150 meters.

That's great, but I heard that Englishmen wield these super-bows made of yew wood that can kill six knights in a minute from half a mile away.
In this thread we give a top ten list of our personal favorite board games, and then suggest games for others to try that they might enjoy based on their list.
10. Tammany Hall - This is a really fun area of control game that encourages a lot of alliances of convenience and backstabbing. I really enjoy the mechanic of the mayor giving powers to his enemies for future turns. The theme is really cool as well. It can sometimes have a bit of a runaway leader problem on occasions though.
9. Twilight Imperium - This is a great game. It would be a lot higher on my list if it weren't for the fact that I can only rarely get it onto the table. The time factor turns a lot of people away, but once you get into it, it's very rewarding. Even setting up the board at the beginning is fun in itself. Then when we get into the heart of the actual game, I always have a blast even if I lose, which is a good thing given how long the game can go.
8. Diplomacy - This game has a pretty nasty reputation of ruining friends, but in the right group, this game is wonderful. This hits the same problem as Twilight Imperium in that it takes a large time commitment to do, but again, when you can actually find time to do it, it's amazing. It can be emotionally taxing at times, but the wheeling and dealing, the backstabbing, the lies, the suspicion, it's all extremely thrilling.
7. Letters to Whitechapel - I tried to decide between Letters and Fury of Dracula. I finally decided on LtW because some of the cards and powers in FoD seem to make the game a little too random. This is a game where one player moves around in secret while the other players work together to deduce where he's at and catch him. Like the old classic Scotland Yard, only better in my opinion.
6. DC Deck Building Game - For some reason my friends and I can't stop playing this simple deck building game. I'm honestly not sure what it is about it, but we're hooked.

>>44538507
5. Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization - This game is very well designed and a lot of fun to play. Who doesn't like building up a civilization from the ground up? It can be a bit daunting to learn all the rules, but putting in the effort is well worth it.
4. Dominant Species - I just recently started playing this game, but I can't get enough of it right now. I find it well designed and extremely fun. I've been trying to get it to the table as often as I can lately.
3. Arkham Horror/Eldritch Horror - I'm putting both of these down in the same spot. I've got everything for both of them so far, but I think I prefer Arkham a bit more. Love the theme, love the feel, love the game. Setup and takedown can take some time, but once you get used to it, you can cut the time down a lot. It's remained one of my favorites. It's one of the games that I can even enjoy playing solo.
2. Battlestar Galactica - This is one of my group's go to games. I love the hidden agenda/betrayal mechanic, and this game is one of the best for it. We've been playing it for years, and still love bringing it out.
1. Twilight Struggle - There is a reason this game was #1 on BGG for so long (it still should be in my opinion). It's masterfully designed, and just a blast to play. I always wondered how a two player cold war game could be so highly ranked, but when I finally got the chance to play it, I was blown away. It has quickly risen to one of my favorite games of all time. I'm lucky enough to have some friends who enjoy it as well, so I can get plenty of face to face games. Masterpiece of boardgaming in my opinion.
I'd love to hear what other people's favorites are as well!
1. imperial assault -> very nice dungeon crawler in the star wars universe.
2. catan -> yeah, baby's first boardgame, but i like it, and it works with most of my friends
3. warhammer 40k -> no one to play it with since i don't have money for another army and no one else buys it. i like the lore and collect the minis though
4. game of thrones by FFG -> actually nice, although abit more complicated than most people would like. and kinda too long.
5. quoridor -> the kind of game that lasts less than 4 minutes, for 2 or 4 players, and is super easy to understand.
6...?
nope, only a top 5 since i'm a poorfag.
i did not mention others like activity, dixit or monopoly, because i don't own them / did not play enough to form a proper opinion
Any time someone says they like Twilight Imperium I immediately disregard everything else they say.
Seeing as I get this stuff right but I never record it, may as well call my shots while I can.
Let's start with Shadows over Innistrad. The name is an obvious reference to the Lovecraft short story 'Shadows over Innsmouth.' Due to the nature of the creatures in Innsmouth, this makes me think that we will see Phyrexians. If this is so it will be a great point it re-introduce one of the big bads back into the lore. We will be seeing Jace, Lilliana and Sorin on Innistrad with possible supporting roles from Ajani, Karn, Koth, and/or Nahiri. But there could also be appearances from Ashiok, Ral, Elspeth, and/or Vraska. While I don't want to count out Tibalt or Tamiyo, I feel their reappearance on their debut plane to be highly unlikely.
With how big an impact Karn has had on the lore we have not heard from him in a while. With a return of Phyrexians seeing him again would be timely.
If we see Koth again, he will likely be under Phyrexian control. I really hope that's not the case but the likely outcome.
I want to see Ral in card form again. He is active in the lore and we have not seen him do much but brood on Ravnica, adding some depth to his character would be nice.
And finally the fall block after Shadows will be on a new plane and will probably have something to do with Bolas and Ugin.
I really hope we don't get big baddies this time, three consecutive blocks with some kind of apocalypses in a row is too much. Also I don't think it will happen, nothing in the trailer hints at Phyrexia. Maybe next time. We're definitively get to know something about the Raven Man, wich is cool, but we're probably spending the test of the time enjoying JaceXLili cheesy fanfiction while R&D butchers everything that was cool and interesting in Innistrad lore.
Dont ask me how I know it, in fact, i dont give a shit if you believe me or not, but this is comming in SoI. And no, my dad do not work for WotC,

>angels are just evolved birds that found immortality

How stupid would this be?
Well the logical progression... How does one find immortality? If a human found it, what would they be transformed into?
What about a dog?

>Angels are the spirits of birds who died in the pursuit of virtue and righteousness, given form by the mercy of God to serve Him again.
>Demons are the spirits of bats, rats, and livestock that scorned their masters and God. As punishment, the Lord twisted their forms.
>Fairies are insects that were noble in life and have forsaken the nectar of the world to spread the word of their Lord God.

Do you want to attach the traditional moral orientations to the angels and demons? Because they'd seem kind of weird and arbitrary here.

Fake but fun. Merry late xmas.
/tg/ i need your help. I am playing a unique game with an amazing GM friend of mine. He has been using this homebrew system of his and playing the same world for over ten years. I have known this guy for only a year or two. Anyway i have been given the chance to be a nobleman, i have been given a parcel of land in the newly conquered area known as the vale. Short history is full of high magic creatures, main party+army literally skull fucked some of them to death. I get some of that land now as the kings favoured nephew (At the ripe age of twenty). I am tasked with getting settlers there, setting up my land etc. I have been brainstorming ideas but i want to hear other peoples ideas as well. With me i will have a low class mage, a soldier who was in the army that conquered here, an elder knight/trainer and the equivalent of a scientest/explorer.
Tl;dr help me set up my own kingdom from scratch.

Where to go?
>Kakwore Institute.The most expensive, and the leader in magic/energy.High in a castle. Lots of mining money to be made from the valuable gems, or by research. 10 thumb-lengths away.
>School of Gefeth. Still very expensive, specialized in purely hand-to-hand combat. All of the money in Gafreth is through gladiator fights, either through fighting or betting. 12 thumb-lengths
>The Laererra School. Very little combat, but lots of academic and leadership opportunities. Many of the top generals go there. Decently cheap. Laererra is smack in the middle of the central district, and there are lots of rich employment options in various trading and gambling companies, but only if you play your cards right. 20 thumb-lengths away.
>Muxrity Academy. Good in all areas, but doesn't specialize in anything. Pretty cheap. Muxrity is near a small town, most job opportunities will come in the forms of blacksmithing, cooking, etc. 7 thumb-lengths away.
>Iletwine. Specializes in not only wilderness survival, but also thievery and banditry. Free, because most people won't survive. Iletwine is in the in the forest, so most of the money will be from hunting/scavenging. Or banditing. 9 thumb-lengths.

Gefeth is in the southern district, near the middle of the desert. Your parents indicated that you were on the west edge, so you start heading what you assume to be southeast by the direction of the sun.
Time flies by, and even as the sun sets you have encountered nothing but trees and dirt. As the last sliver of sunlight sets across the horizon, you stare back at the map. If you followed the map correctly, you should be reaching a dirt road soon. Alternatively, you hear the sound of water in the opposite direction.
