Those of you that bought SCAG, how are you liking it? i heard same saying they dont feel it was worth the price.

>>43614625
The beastlands seemed pretty okay, with goddesses of the hunt like Ehlonna being around having their eternal hunting parties and shit.

Probably not a good idea to annoy Artemis if your character is male though.

Blood Mountain is basically a one-man adventure.

>>43614475
I strongly recommend the first two "Hellraiser" movies' soundtracks for any kind of horror campaign type thing. Some great epic fantastic tracks in there.

Is this the most apt shit ever cuz Mastodon is like the most neckbeard metal band out there? Anyway I got a variety of shit that comes to me.

Obligatory Bolt Thrower for everything Warhammer. Their unique take on Old School Death Metal literally is like using the death metal sound to get the feel down of an army of overthetop badasses slogging through war.

Early Swans for some really downtrodden hopeless shit.

If I want some truly surreal out of this world shit, I love me some Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band, Deathspell Omega, and Amon Duul II.

For something that maintains some kind fantasy with a lot of feels, Slint gets it done.

Oh and I always have Front Line Assembly on repeat if I am doing some Shadowrun/Neuromancer/cyberpunk FATE and Savage World games

And last but not least if I want something that's fucking huge and epic I listen to newer Swans albums (yes I love Swans gtfo)

You'll be looking at a ramp up of rules crunch. Also, you'll need to do the conversion for the Gods and whatnot. Alignment is not the same as in TOG or TOG 3.75.

On the plus side, the player characters are much cooler and balanced. NPCs are really easy to use once you grok that system.

Fantasy Craft is the best of the D20 systems IMHO - but I like crunch... toolbox systems... and being awesome. Fantasy Craft does those things.

Fantasy Craft is a great system, especially coming from 3.5/PF. Non-combat characters are better supported. Feats and martials are actually fun and interesting. Magic was made to be besides other classes, instead of outstripping them. In fact, all classes are 'Tier 3', to use TOG's tiers.

But, I could go on about generalities, so feel free to ask about any specifics!

>You'll be looking at a ramp up of rules crunch.
What? It's a ramp down from PF/3.5.
>Also, you'll need to do the conversion for the Gods and whatnot.
IF you want to use them. But, why must you?

Thank you for the replies. Sounds good, particularly that non combat is better supportet. How are Feats and alignments in FC?

>>43613913
With current character: Going by importance, bandits obviously win, but urgency goes to the girl - shouldn't take more than an hour or so, right? Plenty of time to go take care of the bandits after.

That said, the rest of the party are greedy fucks. If I could talk my DM into it, I'd say he'd split up briefly and catch up later (perhaps by blowing spells or with a mount), but alas we are ultimately beholden to the character-splitting principle.

First the bandits, they're a danger to the good people of the town.

Then the little girl, she deserves to pay her respects to her mother.

The head can wait until last.

My character would probably help the girl first, because he lost his mother young. He'd probably do it for free.

Wipe them out for the good of your own people and deal with the alignment hit, if any.

You can't be a ruler and still be "good" under objective alignment systems, because eventually, taking actions for the betterment of your realm WILL conflict with your alignment restrictions. "Good" under objective alignment is concerned with the betterment of life as a whole, while if you're a ruler, and there's enough water for your people, or their people, and not enough for both, your responsibility to secure the water for your people and let the other folks who aren't yours die of thirst.

So there's no point in trying to stay "good" anyway. Do what is in your people's best interests, and deal with wherever you end up on the alignment spectrum. Unless you're a paladin, in which case you shouldn't be ruling a country anyway.

Wipe them out, blame it on the other empire.

You continue. "The King...?"

"The King..." She carefully weighs your words. "He's in the antechamber on the left side of the hall. Whether or not you can find him..."

"But he's there?" You press.

"That is what I said." She replies curtly.

…

"And you choose to give up this information so easily?" You lean toward, voicing your suspicion.

She nods to acknowledge your words, carefully stands, finds a small watering pail, and methodically begins tending to the budding plants. "I knew it would come to this the moment I learned that you were still alive." She listens carefully to the water seeping into the dark soil. "What you and very few others have is a product of bygone and chaotic age.” She moves on to the next plant. “Then, it could be applied toward a single goal and help everyone, now, you all pull in your own directions. Those lost or unwilling to choose a side are torn apart in the process." She straightens herself out. “However, all these things will come to stabilize, getting in the way of that is simply foolhardy.” She sets the watering pail down.

You rise from the seat as she confidently approaches you. “Your actions have been absolutely reprehensible, and any sensible inhabitant of this realm would hate you with every fiber of their being.” She quickly reaches for your hand. “But I simply can’t. I just can’t, Sophia. So…” She looks toward the extensive hallway. “Be careful with what you’ll find, bitter flames are surrounded by their own noxious smoke.”

She pushes you into the hall without another word.

You step forward now on your own will, and there only remains the first destination.

>The antechamber on the left of the hall.

>The cloister at the end of the hall.

I feel so ashamed.

isnt that how Tanto Cuore sort of works?

The first time I every roleplayed in person, we played in a bar.

How the fuck do you seal the entrance to a god damn hedge maze? Not to mention, if you were somehow able to instantly erect a goddamn hedge, they're hedges. They can be escaped really, really easily.

Yes?

This isn't really /tg/ related but yes you could.

That's False imprisonment.

>>43613635
Stop secretly worshipping tzeentch and go full heretic of course. Taking the last few marines that hadn't been converted to the true worship and placing them in the iron maidens of persuasion until they either convert or turn into spawn. At the same time we sacrifice the population of the local agricultural and give world with the help of the chaos cults we had previously nurtured in the elements of the pdf.

Laugh as the Dumb Inquisitor attempted to claim the Ultramarines are heretics.
Laugh as the retard gets executed by other Inquisitors for doing one of the dumbest things he could.

>>43613771
well, he'd be looking to get all the Australium of the world, for a start and fight anyone who has any bit of it, then suck all the blood of Australians to get the australium in their blood and then just sit on his company asset and outlive dragons

>>43614090

But I don't want to be drained of my blood.

Warmachine and Hordes use rules that are similar enough for them to be considered the same game. They are 100% compatible.
One of the biggest differences between 40k and Warmahordes is scale. Depending at the point-level you play at, you'll be fielding more minis in a game of 40k.
Both games kinda suck. Neither are balanced. Both games cost about the same to play. which is more popular is going to depend on your local meta.
40k has FAR better minis. PP makes the shittiest minis on the market, GW makes some of the best.

Really? Some of the Hordes models look pretty gorgeous. Do you mean shitty in terms of fitting them together yourself, in terms of overall model quality, or what?

>>43614059
The type of plastic they use is garbage and the model quality is terrible.
Have you ever held a warmahordes mini?
The edges and details are really soft, which is far from ideal.

>>43613161
I spent maybe 60 ish on a set of dice myself, plus another set that was split among friends after we got a bulk order. As for the biggest waste of money my hobbies have resulted in, I'd honestly say GURPS.

Most of their shit is out of print, and I'm a stickler for hardcover, so I ended up spending some serious dosh on new and like new GURPS books, including Magic which can get up around a hundred or so, and thaumaturgy which is about on par. All in all, I spent almost 300 bucks and I've only been able to convince my group to part from D&D for once campaign so far.

Also, I just backed DropFleet Commander, which is opening up a pandora's box financially, but the models are crazy high quality and the rules so far looks outstanding. Of course, knowing my luck not a single person within a hundred miles of me will play it.

>>43613161
Buying Shadows of Brimstone, all the expansions , even though I no I won't play it that much. Thats like 300 dollars.

Bought Dark Vengeance for my GF while we were at NYCC a few years back. She was just getting into the hobby, and at that moment decided that she hated SM and CSM...
There's $100 I'm not getting back, ever...
At least I have the minis to remind me of how dumb I am.

>>43613068
can you choose what faction to join in Through the Breach, this is important.

>>43613068
I know there's a bunch of spirit models that don't have 2nd ed. models yet.

>>43613068
>>43614160
Looking at the upcoming releases, you shouldn't have to wait too long for that, though.
