My dream game and pet project for some time is:

Small scale (6/10 mm) fantasy mass combat with a focus on giant ass monsters.
Like titan battles in epic but with motherfucking wizards and dragons.

>Your earthquake spell just killed 100 knights.
>Your behemoth can't slow down fast enough and steps on your skeleton horde.

Source for that mini, please?

Westerns. We need Westerns. We can make Westerns, right here, right now, but not one fuck will be given. I know it.

Castle Falkenstein.

I think the Malifaux RPG uses a deck. Through The Breach.

Savage Worlds uses a deck for initiative.

but why not? devotion I understand, but chroma fits perfectly mechanically with eldrazi stuff.

Question for dipshits who think C is a color:

Would a creature that cost 2CR and did not have devoid be a colorless creature?

No. It wouldn't.

You don't need one.

Hunting parties are considered some of the most dangerous groups to join but the prestige and materials earned off of a successful hunt keeps the profession with a steady supply of volunteers. Aside from assisting in population control, these hunting groups train some of the most powerful individuals a colony has to offer and provides groups with food sources/materials that can't normally be grown in agricultural facilities.

In more civilized settlements, expeditionary groups form often in order to search for relics from an ancient age, study the creatures in the wilds, or for personal glory. The expeditions are often in direct competition with each other and act closer to nomadic tribes or gangs depending on their group. Thanks to these groups, more and more colonies are being discovered and tribal systems that are too weak to explore themselves are able to establish contact with other humans through the expeditions.

Having one or two recruiters in an expedition is a must as you are in direct competition with other expeditions so having more manpower (and disposable troops) is a must when competing with rivals.

The creatures that inherited this new world are animals that have grown larger, smarter, and more aggressive in most cases. While the exact types of evolution vary from species to species, one feature to take note of is differences in their species' history compared to similar species.

Domesticated dogs grew alongside humans for most of their life so when the evolution began, household canines started to adopt more human features (such as a bipedal stance, limited thumb movement, communication skills, and minor tool use) while wild wolves grew large and brutish (closer to a gorilla/worgen than the sleek canine form they had before).

Trees have grown massive and cluttered with some of the smaller trees closer to full grown redwoods than saplings. Some vegetation has gained limited mobility, the ability to use some senses, or have a sense of self preservation.

Weather patterns and other strange phenomena have been sighted such as violent earthquakes that throw large rocks into the air at the fault lines, strange lightweight glass falling from the sky leaving visible cracks in the skyline, tidal waves of frost crossing over tundras as if they were the waves of an ocean over seaweed.

That's pretty much covers the bases for the lore.

If anyone is lurking, I'm going to move onto gameplay. If nothing comes up I'll just end thread to save time.


The system was originally meant to be a way I could play a high-speed, action-based game with friends and was built around the mentality that it could be used to run sessions of Monster Hunter, RWBY, or Dark Souls (with some small tweaks). Over time though, I wanted to have something that was more my own so I built this world to house the system.

With this in mind, many of the mechanics are built around an idea of accelerating the flow of gameplay, simplifying rolls, and making user customization key.

Character creation actually begins at Level 0 and the level cap is set at 5. The reason for this is that many stats scale directly off of your current level and it was difficult to come up with meaningful differences in levels for larger level ranges.

Character stats start pretty low with scores of -2 to 3 being your range at level zero. Level 5 stats can potentially reach 12 through min-maxing but about 7-9 is the average for your best stats.

The stats are split up as:
>Spirit:
Acts as the main stat for rolls dealing with willpower or most things dealing with an evolution in your character. It also scales into a barrier that a character can learn to project that acts like a pseudo-health bar.

>Fortitude:
It's the basic measurement of how hardy your body is. It scales directly into your HP and can be used to see whether that fall that you took broke all of your bones or just a few.

>Knowledge:
Deals with your accuracy for ranged weapons, perception, and comes into play for a type of blood magic called "Arcanes". It mixes Wis and Int for all intents and purposes.

>Strength:
It's your bread and butter beat-em-up stat. Hit harder with increasingly large objects until it dies.

>Speed:
Affects anything that would be related to Dex. Affects base move speed, number of actions, and your ability to dodge.

>remember that you forgot to take your very important psychological meds this morning
Let's give it a "nice" start.

The old world is gone and ended. Everything is continuing in AoS now.

Black library may still sell the old books in digital, but no new content.

Age of Sigmar is the continuation of the story, with End Times bridging the gaps between the 2. And instead of doing a stagnant setting with AoS, they plan on doing a continuing story with it. Something different.

40k and old warhammer were stuck in their timeline, but with AoS it is supposed to be different.

>inb4 veritable shitstorm over aos

So I picked up some WHFB stuff a while back (a starter kit like thing of some kind) because I was going to try and get into minis gaming. Assuming I ever figure out the rules, does this mean that it basically won't be a thing anymore? Or would it still be something people will be selling? And if I have to get Age of Sigmar instead, does it play the same way and have all the same rules?

any former heroscape players who have an opinion on this? any cheap terrain places? this shits absurdly expensive

Ebay and flea markets, pray you're lucky. Otherwise, buy some pieces, get some resin, start casting your own.

It's a fun game, but I figure it'll be dead by the end of 2016. WotC isn't really pushing it very hard.

>>44438412
that sucks. if i could just get like one more expansion and maybe some official tile packs id be so happy. i just want decent replayability.

>>44437915
We have players do that pretty frequently in our group. Nobody really holds it against them. Sometimes you just need a break to appreciate the game.

I have friends that I can talk about /tg/ stuff with, but not game with. Just like I have some friends I would go to jail for but would last two weeks with as a roommate.

Just figure out the boundaries and work from there.

>>44437915
Man, I know this is going to happen to me at some point, because I've been a ForeverDM for nearly 3 years straight now, and I've been with my current main group for 2, and while they're awesome people and I love playing with them, I know that I'm gonna start losing the touch as a DM and their interest in the campaign will slip.

I know that at some point, I'll get burned out on the lack of any sort of recognition or thanks for the work I put in, as ungrateful as that sounds.

Mostly because the concept of telling people "You guys aren't trying hard enough and it's making it not fun for me" is not something I can really see myself doing.

Every time someone casts magic missile

>>44437772
Every time you see a mismatched character.

>Behemoth of a grill playing a noble instead of an ogre
>Scrawny paleshit playing fighter instead of peasant with wasting illness.
etc.

Alternatively any time you involuntarily cringe.

What's the specific larp?

Also, you do know that by drinking on a BSA camp, you will get the entire organization kicked off the site and blacklisted from getting to use any BSA camps in that conference, right? I'm not saying that can't be a deliberate goal, but know what you're doing before you do it, yeah?

Assuming this is an American fantasy larp like NERO:
>Any time you see modern clothing
>Any time you see a "hot dog" sword instead of something that actually looks like a weapon
>Any time you see poorly applied makeup/prosthetics
>Any time you hear a lengthy character backstory
>Any time you hear an edgy character backstory
>Any time you an "ultralight" weapon composed of graphite and kite tape
>Any time you hear somebody try to ruleslawyer their way out of a situation rather than just rolling with it and roleplaying
>Any time you see NPCs in tabards instead of actual costumes
>Any time you hear people talking shit about other people OOC rather than staying in-character
>Any time you hear somebody talking about something IT-related rather than staying in-character
>Any time you hear somebody whine about being "hit too hard"
>Any time you watch somebody who has clearly been playing a long time solo a module built for lower-level players and imply they're a badass for doing so

That should get you blackout-level, if not completely dead.
