It's ok.
I'm sure you will improve
You sound like a great GM.
Also- a campagin is never wasted. All those written NPCs and minis can be reused for a better group.

Anchor
Requesting my character in his changeling form. The art on the middle and side show how his face looks usually, but I'd be interested to see how he looks as a changeling, especially like the one on the left (less of a pale elf, and a slightly grimier, Voldemort style to the features, though I'm not picky).
He has pale green hair in his form and white skin, with white pupilless eyes surrounded by black lines. Beyond that, he'd probably have a resemblance to his human form, but go nuts. He's got a sunblade and leather armor like shown, and is probably in some awkward or unlucky situation knowing him, but I'm not that picky. Just curious to see how people would interpret him if you're interested.
>>54316432
Requesting my half-drow Bard sitting with a black-scaled Kobold in his lap. She's wearing a princess tiara and looking as smug as can be.
Recently in our game, Adinzard has been followed by a Kobold who's only wish is to be a Princess, and since he's technically a Prince of his house, she's smitten with him and he's not sure what to do about it.

What's the genre that dominates your collection most /bgg/? Dudes on a map? Worker placement? Crayon rail? STEEV's dreaded nemesis the co-op?
Why do you keep going back to those games? And which one out of those that you own, is the definitive one in your opinion, that you keep bringing to the table?
>>54293823
I feel like I've dipped my toes into a lot of different genres but I've currently been focusing on more normie friendly games to try and get my friends into the hobby
>>54293823
>What's the genre that dominates your collection most /bgg/?
Well, I've got 150+ board games, but I have multiple Space 4x games and war games.
I'm designing a pretty simple board game actually. Nothing fancy just doing it for fun. Hex based, High Fantasy, kinda taking some cues from HoMM. Factions so far are Human, Necromancers, Demons, Dwarves, Elves/Faerie, and I want a 6th but I'm not sure what I should add.
Each faction has 2-3 sub factions with unique unit(s)s at the cost of losing some of the standard unit(s). One Dwarven subfaction uses Gyros as a flying cavalry instead of Boar Cavalry and another has Repeating Crossbows that can attack twice a turn with a lower attack rating rather than Thunderers (guns).
Most games either go too in depth or aren't in depth enough for me. I love Axis and Allies except it's repetitive and boring after a bit, but Rise and Decline of the Third Reich is far too complicated and mainly just takes too long to play so it's nearly impossible to find people to play it with. Kinda wanting to make a game specifically for me, that's kinda got an in between.

I actually think it might be more that all the extra bulk makes him look like an actual space marine rather than a human in power armour actually.
Plus without the krak grenade launcher we all assumed was a missile launcher, the model stops looking overdesigned.
Electro-priests. 2x10 or 1x20 in a 1500 army, do you guys think? They're deadly and awesome, and I suspect a Triaros filled with them might become a mainstay in my lists once FoC comes out. Hell of a battering ram.
What happens to the Dark Eldar when GW kills off Slaanesh?
Hey /tg/ I thought I'd ask here since /v/ is a shithole.
A lot of GW games are on sale right now, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them.
Let me start with the questions about the most interesting (to me) deals.
_____________________________
TALISMAN: THE HORUS HERESY
also TALISMAN: DIGITAL EDITION
I never played Talisman before, the reviews call the interface "atrocious", is this fun with friends? A meaningless rollfest of dice?
_____________________________
MORDHEIM: CITY OF THE DAMNED
I love Mordheim, but I'm not sure whether this has a well made multiplayer mode or is rather made with single player campaigns in mind?
_____________________________
WARHAMMER: ARCANE MAGIC
Very cheap. Very shit? Single Player only.
_____________________________
WARHAMMER 40K: LEGACY OF DORN
Also very cheap. A choose-your-own adventure book in 40k? Sounds fun, but what if it's one of those badly made ones with choices that don't matter, or a bad plot?
_____________________________
WARHAMMER 40K: KILL TEAM
Everyone hates it and considers it super bland. What about you?
_____________________________
SPACE HULK
Never played it. How much of it is fun because it's fun, and how much of it is "fun because it's 40k"? I wanted to play it with non-40k fans.
Has anyone here played any of these games?
>>54478507
Out of all of those games the only two I could recommend are Space Hulk and Mordheim because they are ports of the table top games.
>>54478507
Talisman in any form and flavor is complete RNGfest. If you liked Monopoly or Munchkin it will be your cup of coffee.
Mordheim - keeps nothing of game mechanics but does the atmosphere alright. Multiplayer can get pretty imbalanced, but so was the tabletop game.
Arcane Magic - mobile game tier.
Legacy of Dorn - this would be cool back in 80's
Kill Team - mindless clickfest, there's better one in the making
Space Hulk - it's alright but being asymmetric might put some people off
Can you have a Smuggler in a Witch Hunter Warband? I want to buy it and the DLC locked nice.
>One-gender race
How does that even work ?
The asari from Mass Effect did it. They have sex with everyone and end up just taking some genetic material and that's all they need.
There's also some real microorganisms that reproduce asexual and don't really do gender. Maybe make big sentient versions of them.
You could also have a race that construct their offspring, so gender wouldn't be necessary there.
>>54477018
by having mixed communities where the races benefit from eachother
>>54477018
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_whiptail
Nature is weird.
Why do the Dark Angels get so much shit? I don't understand.
>>54477007
They're the first legion, so they got shit. They also hoard shit.
>>54477020
Elaborate?
>>54477007
No one likes Team Killers. Dark Angels can and have turned on or abandoned other Imperial forces to preserve their secret or chase a rumor of the Fallen.
>>54477020
>>54477030
Dark Angels are the only chapter/group left in the imperium to have Anti-grav bikes left. They do not share, or let anyone study them.
I need some good wildlife and weird enemies. Time to get dumpin'
>>54476884
I want to run the Kingmaker campaign but I don't want to use the D20 system.
Any suggestions ? No G.U.R.P.S or D100 systems allowed
>>54476753
Strike!
It's d6, light, fast, modular.
>>54476773
Sounds great but I don't have any miniatures and I'm certainly not buying those
>>54476796
You don't need miniatures, you can print your own tokens. There's any number of token packs downloadable from the internet if you look around a bit.
If you mean you don't like grid tactics... what do you like? I assume you want to use Kingmaker's mechanics.

Does willpower belong to Charisma?
No becuase charisma means having charm. What are you gonna charm yourself?
>>54476211
Saves should be modified by a primary stat and half-modified by secondary stats
Fortitude: Primary con, Secondary strength
Reflex: Primary Dex, secondary intelligence
Will: Primary Wisdom, secondary Charisma
Willpower is "I'll do it"
Charisma is "You'll do it"

Oh wait.

There's a lot of options for immortality. *MOST* of them are better than lichdom, so far as I can tell.
What's the benefit of choosing lichdom?
>>54475007
look at your picture anon
it's fuckin' awesome
>>54475007
undeath bring lots of good side and not bad sides.
liches in particular are very powerfull caster, other kind of undead are not always. who wouldnt want to be a spellcasting skellington?
and if you count archlich, no alignment restriction (but there existence is highly debatable)
>>54475066
There's also the elven druidic/high magic baelnorn.
But living forever without being a decomposing corpse sounds preferable to the alternative.
