Hello /tg/
I'm trying to build up a way to sandbox in the wilderness, and since it necessarily involves mapping, i was wondering which way is better for long-range (ie: not combat) distance: hex or squares?
TL;DR: better hexes or squares for exploration purposes?
OP - What do you think?
For my next atlas map, I'm inclined to do it with no grid at all, to a scale (like a real map), and then lay grid over it.
I think hexes are easuer to count distance than squares, corrdinates are easier to specify locations. A ruler/string is the only accurate method.

Hexes are usually favored in larger-scale RPG maps.
>>44110168
Hexes are always better, since you can move more freely. Especially if armies are involved, the diagonal square movement is a bit icky. I don't know any advantages of squares over hexes.
Can we get a good old fashioned Legacy thread going?
What's your meta like? And what are you playing?
>>44109989
Just built this Wednesday. It's been pretty sweet with my meta. A couple combo, mostly control decks. Eats most decks alive g1 and g2 if they dont have an answer i can play around their side. Spot the secret tech
Pretty sad that /r9k/ has better legacy threads than /tg/
>>44109989
TFW you're too poor for the real deck you want so you toss this piece of shit together in the mean time.
How's the RPG for Kill 6 Billion Demons coming along?
Anyone here playing the beta?
Is it better than Exalted?
Don't know when 1.2 is coming out. Soon, I hope.
>>44109487
Abbadon said on his twitter that there'll be an update for the RPG this weekend.
I've got the beta, but >mfw no group
First Game Today Edition
Previous Thread: >>44045591
Discussion thread for Bioshock PnP system being homebrewed currently. Be it setting, mechanics or even discussion of the original games themselves.
>The Homebrew is up for review and testing folks! Let me know if anything needs adjusted or of any errors that need fixed. Currently on AR 1.0.1
>Playtest session today at 4:30 EST on Roll20. Send New Homebrew Guy a pm for an invite. 2 player slots still open.
Oh, someone beat me to it
I was going to go for "500 Adam in the red edition"
Rise
You might want to try the homebrew general too
Are right guys, I'm a new 'Nid player, and I realized something in my first game:
THE NID'S HAVE SHIT UNITS.
Let's fix that, starting with the Malanthrope.
I love how it looks and the fluff, just now how it plays.
>>44107984
>benstillerants.jpeg
Sorry, here's a bigger one.
>>44107984
First off, that's a maleceptor
Secondly, 3++, BS4, psyker level 3 and the power only needs 1 warp charge
BGx edition
I hope Oath does something to shake up the format.
Abzan or Jund?
>>44106131
Right now Jund, in a slower meta Junk.
HEY GUYS, COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT THE GREATEST CARD IN MODERN
for realsies, though, just 4-0'd modern FNM with r/g tron and this guy is the real deal. Always feels good to cast. Even won against Storm with him, and that's a shite matchup for tron
So does this now tap for two anus mana or two generic mana?
>>44104806
Yes.
it now taps for <><>
>>44104806
No, because it taps for 2 mana, not 2 <> mana.
<> is a color now.
Imagine if, 20 years from now, you could play a game alone, or with friends, with an AI for the GM. The AI makes the adventures, either downloaded or generated, and reacts to whatever you do with actual understanding. You could play Shadowrun like you would a videogame, alone and whenever you felt like it, or have a party of friends without a forever-GM.

Well, can you?
Pissed of AIGMs because of shitty players, that guys and rule benders will be the reason of the rebellion of the machines I tell ya.
We the fa/tg/uys will be the reason of the Apocalypse. And iT WILL BE GLORIOUS
It'll take another 20 years before they can work the kinks out and get the AI to stop being That GM.
Hey /tg/ long story but I've got a character whose going to be empowered by various figures from Christian Myth or catholic saints. I need a list of badass Christian figures or saints. No Angels (long story) and saint George is already taken. I'm talking like, Saint Moses the Black badass, but someone with miraculous powers is preferable. One figure I already have is Vladimir Tepes as defender of the faith, so feel free to go edgy. I just need ideas.
Is martyrdom badass for your standards?
Do you want bible times geroes or post bible times?
Old testament Bible times: Ezekiel, old testament prophet, raises a valley of zombies.
Elisha summons bears to maul 42 youth
Elijah summons fire from the heavens
Sampson had strength +5
Moses had calamity magic like the 12 plagues, red sea splitting in two, water from rocks, food every day for hundreds of thousands out of the dew of the earth, ability to effect the rotation of the earth.
New testament: paul revives the dead, is immune to stoning. Charisma +5
Phillip the evangelist can teleport
Peter causes earthquakes to escape prison. Charisma +5, ealks on water, expels demons
If you want post bible times: there are thousand of martyrdom stories.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_martyrs
If you need saint in their name, generally catholic tradition is looking at new testament(the last 27) books of the bible, (focus on the book of acts for miracles forom people besides Jesus). Or catholic tradition is looking at after the New testament writing. Look into how saint hood is achieved. I believe the standard is 3 miracles. I bet there is a source listing the various miracles. This would make choosing easy.
>>44104663
Post Bible times preferably. Bible era heroes are unavailable for reasons.

Seriously though, does anybody do this? Same for DM cloaks. It sounds like it would be a lot of fun but I've never met anybody IRL who does it. Is it just a myth?
People will think you're a weirdo and even if you manage to play it off and explain things perfectly the joke will still fall flat in short order and you'll spend two hours awkwardly sitting there wishing you'd just worn jeans.
If you know the group beforehand and convince them all to wear costumes to the session it's a different matter.
>>44098689
I had a girlfriend who played dnd and wore a cloak instead of a coat. It wasn't even a dnd or larp thing, that's just what she did. She was known around campus as "cloak girl".
Cloak looked a bit like pic related, only cleaner. Just mentally remove all the other stuff and replace it with a black t-shirt, jeans, and some books.
>>44099471
Cloaks are fucking comfy. If I could wear one without being the local weirdo, I would.
Woops! We let the old thread die without making a new one.

This is the correct thread.
Which miniature companies make the highest quality blood bowl or faux blood bowl type minis?
Not which are best for the price, just the best

Is there anywhere I can find these old blood Bowl magazines? I've never really seen them on mega or anywhere?
I think I'd like to read them for nostalgia
THIS IS NOT A CIV THREAD
Cms feel free to drop a post in when you run
1st question for the thread, what makes for a good enemy civ?
Hard mode: for a civ like orcs/gnolls/other evil race
>>44081110
that's a hell of a question, and I don't know where to start.
>>44081110
For an evil race? A "good" race that must purge your evil race from the land.
>>44082401
Do you like automatically opposed civilations or ones that have an option to diplo but eventually become an enemy? Idk feel free to ask any questions you have
People talk about Succubi a lot, but has an incubus ever showed up in your games, /tg/? If both exist in your setting, do they have any innate connection? Are they mostly distant, only being interested in other races, to the point where wanting to actually fuck a succubi is considered a deviant fetish amongst incubi, and vice versa?
The general idea I use is that incubi and succubi are just one "breed" of demons who get their sustenance from sexual desire (others get sustenance from different kinds of intense emotion). They have only a passing interest in each other, especially since touching one another can result in energy being shared, making the two demons "blow a fuse", so to speak.
I don't use either. I prefer my demons nastier than fuckdolls with horns.
>>44064654
I generally like it when their cute human form is just a disguise and their true form is actually much more nasty and horrifying.
>>44064654
>Not having all your infernal entities be some variation of fuckdoll with horns
Hi, I've never played dungeons and dragons, but I really want to get into it. I found a website called roll20, and i've found a few games that look like they could be fun, I just don't know how to go about building a character and stuff. Any tips or pointers?
>>44131332
weeeelllll,
roll20 is a crapshoot. Unless you're really lucky, you'll have a couple bad experiences. Don't be afraid to bail on a game that is a clusterfuck, though it is polite to let the person running it that you are leaving so they don't expect you back.
You got any friends? If it's your first time, I'd suggest playing in person.
is there another way to play online? I don't know of any groups in my town.
