Anyone got the new 40k comics?

I think the seed of that Eldar Craftworld game later got published as this pseudo-campaign for the Inquisitor skirmish game.

Mordheim and Necromunda were the most fun I ever had playing a GW game (I loved Inquisitor conceptually and all the weird fluff and characters and conversions, but it was a clusterfuck to play). And Epic often felt more satisfying as a wargame than 40k, although I never played Warmaster.

Skirmish games were what I always wanted to play over Warhammer/40k really, so once the specialist games were no longer allowed in store (even on late game nights) I quit GW entirely. I still play skirmish games and particularly Infinity, which has a great ruleset - but I totally miss the sense of progression and character you got in Mordheim and Necromunda.

It would be the same. Warhammer was still warhammer even with mordheim, and 40k wouldn't have changed much with a game set on a craftworld.

>less emphasis on 40k and fantasy
>while discussing the potential publication of more games in those settings

They already tried with fucking LOTR and failed, what makes you think that MAD MAX BUT WITH SNOW INSTEAD OF SAND!!! would have fared better?

Since there seems to be not that much interest I'll expand for a bit

>Six Players-Two GMs
>Playing Changelings (nWoD version with rule tweaks)
>Built a campaign centered around immersing the players in a living breathing world of changelings that formed communities in different ways throughout three cities.
>Made tons of NPCs with my partner beforehand, developping them a lot, their everyday life, their stories
>We have to this day made more than 130 NPCs (and we haven't yet finished the second and third city's population)
>We helped players create their characters separately so they would not be influenced by others in what to play
>Last three campaign scenarios were played with us two as GMs
>Players were thrilled because we played the NPCs very well and they had personnality
>Characters got attached to the city and the people in it so when a new NPC came by and fucked it all up they were invested
>They realized the villain was actually not that evil just mad as hell and not really conscious of all the chaos he produced
>Some of them started to like him and agree with him, others didn't
>Having two GMs made it easier to take a few players to the next room and share secrets
>Finished the last scenario by revealing one of the members of the 'government' of the community discovered that one of his colleagues (loved among the players) worked with the 'villain' and banished him
>Cimented anger against the next villain -> the one who made the mistake of banishing the character they loved with what they found out later to be false evidence.

Its was really great and lively, I really enjoyed GMing with someone after hours of developping the universe and making up plans for twists and turns. The players also told us it was really convenient to be able to split the group and they found really fun our interactions as two colorful NPCs talking to them in a particular scene.

Great experience, I won't recommend doing it with someone you're not really familiar with.

Interesting ideas.

I've tried to run with two GM 6 players before but found it didn't really work out as the two of us kept butting heads most of the time. Although perhaps more organisation was needed.

I've had one on one games and when I think back it was a really enjoyable experience. The scope that an RPG provides means that even with just one player you can have an amazing experience. It's just like a single player video game but better as you aren't constrained by a game engine. I struggle to get anyone to do it with me though , I think a lot of players play for the group social interactions.


I've found gmless games to lack direction and for players to fall back heavily into mechanics and board game mode to justify it.

I've also experimented with running two different groups in the same world but found it difficult to manage that amount of content. Likewise I've always found PvP a difficult beast in RPGs as the game isn't really designed for it and some characters are just mechanically more superior in that context.

>I think a lot of players play for the group social interactions.
They do but from time to time you find a player that wants to create a story of his own but can't find the place for it a a table full of people. That's when this game mode becomes relevant for me.

>I've found gmless games to lack direction and for players to fall back heavily into mechanics and board game mode to justify it.
I have found it lacked direction but we actually gravited towards less rules and more improvisation and storytelling over rolling dice, which lead to it just becoming a mish mash of surreal stuff. It was interesting but not really structured.

>difficult to manage that amount of content
I can understand that (that's why I like dual GMing, two minds to handle the lore and context) but I find it easy to keep track of it by making a roleplay journal.
It's simple, you ask the players to keep a journal of what happens in the game. Can be online, can be physical, can be written by one or by all of them. It's fun to read, players often work in the jokes and anecdotes of scenarii and it helps keeping informations from one game to another.

It's summer in a lot of places mate, just let it happen and have fun.

>>54187027
Huh, yeah pretty impressive, but have you invented your own fighting style?
I did. Oh, it's nothing special, just the single greatest thing in the universe. It's called Saikyo-ryu! Means strongest style, 'cuz it is. Pretty cool huh? Anyway, let's get this over with. After I win, you're gonna be my new apprentice, kay?

Pretty solid tutorial for kitbashing as well.

Praise Dankun

I love Duncans laugh.

>>54185976
That makes the least sense.

>>54185976
That would be anally retarded, even by the Emperors standards.

>>54185989
>>54185998
But everyone says the Emperor should've killed the Primarchs at the end of the Great Crusade.

>>54185676
Japan has always had these. I have a bunch in my old trade binders. I forget what they are called.

>>54185676
Ultimate Rare does that.

>>54185676

since SOD, if not before because lol japan

and it looks great you cretin

What are some systems which have rules for characters that can build stuff like turrets on the spot to support them in battle?
Or is it purely a vidya thing?

>>54185759
There is a prestige class called Saboteur, I think, in Star Wars Saga Edition that does really that. It's really cool, but it's not a jedi, so it's not very good. Which goes for most prestige classes in the game.

>>54185499
>>54185759
Strike! RPG can do it, can't remember if it's supported by the core rules or was added in that playtest document for a possible future expansion though

indeed from what I remember someone was talking about building Overwatch's characters in Strike! and how pretty much the only character that doesn't translate over very easily is Orisa, which makes sense since her kit is kinda odd

/tg/ rendition of Bjorn would remain pissed at being woken from a dream about twin sisters regardless of who woke him up

>>54185426
>"Almighty Bjorn, we have awakened to ask of tales from the days of glory, the Great Crusade, the Horus Heresy, and even after. Speaking of even after... how the fuck did the Vlka Fenrika get to be this wolf-obsessed?"

>>54185630
The last of these would be the best question the Primaris Wolfs would give him.

>>54185360
Make your own chapter

It's the ENTIRE point of this whole game

>>54185360
Carcharodons, maybe? Always on the offensive, roaming space, melee focused. Very different flavour to the whole crusading knights thing, though.

>>54185388 is the best suggestion, though rules wise you're not going to be able to pinch the BT exclusive units. I'd also try and make them more distinctive than "like the Black Templars, but I still want to use psykers."

Imperial Fists?

hahaha le hydradominatus :^)

The point of becoming a lich is max selfishness and narcissism. That's what evil is. I don't think a good person would be allowed to become a lich due to morals of the ritual or the patron not allowing it.

EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME
ENOUGH

FUCKING ENOUGH OF THESE THREADS

BETTER THREAD, CAN WE GET ONE ON GREENTEXT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PLAYING NECROMANCERS RIGHT NOW? LIKE THERE SERIOUSLY IS A LACK OF OC AS OF LATE, AND I'M SICK OF SHOWING UP FOR EVERY LOLNECROMANCY CAN BE GOOD GUIZE FOR EVERY GENERIC NON-DISCLOSED SETTING.

Basic was fantastic.

What's with all these "what went wrong" threads? Not to say lurking in each edition hasn't been interesting, but it sounds like bait from the get go.

Nothing went wrong: OP is a faget.
