You're welcome.

thanks

It's OK.

Way too many moving parts, rules and restrictions that often don't make sense, and (to me) an annoying resource management system. Also, end-game pacing is kinda fucked - my experience is that you are struggling to get anything at all done up til the very end, when a switch flicks and you casually annihilate whatever's in front of you.

All that said, the core concept is good and we occasionally play a heavily house-ruled version.

Looks good, fights are tough but rewarding. Think Darkest Dungeon but boardgame. The basic rules and mechanics are not too easy but comprehencable.

It takes ages to play though. Four players is like 5-6 hours, unless you hurry yourself, but if you have to hurry to play a board game you're doing it wrong.

Also, card combos are important here, which some love, others hate. You can just go at it, or you can go "I play x, whoch gives me a bonus if I have y, together they generate enough mana so I can play z AND support it with v because I play r at minus one thanks to q"

It's the origins of everyone (Read, literally no one ever in the history of time, past, present and future, in all concievable realities that haven't shortly nuked themselves into nothingness) 's favorite group of planeswalkers, the gatewatch!

>>54175725
Time to dust off my white enchantment deck.

>>54175725
Origin stories of the gatewatch are in that set.

Single squad, with no air support?

No, probably not.

>>54175495
Depends what sort of support they can get, but I think at minimum you would need a squad of terminators and they would need to lie about their total numbers.

>>54175598
Not that I don't believe you, but what would stop them?
The sheer amount of bullets? Bombs?

>>54175439
Same game, different name.

>>54175439
Few changes but still ok.
I prefer the big rulebook rules, use the new only if
1) you need to play with the new models (why?)
2) you feel big monsters are underpowered, in that case import the big monster rules and perhaps the elvish sword rules.
You don't need much else

>>54175439
Same game, different name, with the caveats that stupid shit from the Hobbit movies being made more resembles AoS models than LotR ones, and that the LotR kits themselves are now twice as expensive as they were even 5-6 years ago.

Sorry Anon, we were ahead of you.

Depends on what job. Different parts of the process (preparing the velllum, inking the text, penciling in the artwork, illuminating the artwork) could be done by different monks with their own specialties, especially in the later Middle Ages when scriptoria were more like book-producing factories (never mind the Renaissance, when hand-written textbooks were churned out en masse by monks and scriveners).

If you're just talking about the text, well, again, depends on whether it's a de luxe manuscript being written in a very slow and careful hand (artifical unical, irish majuscule, textura quadrata) or a work-a-day cursive (half uncial, most national hands, bastard or secretary scripts), or something in between (carolingian, bâtarde, rotunda). Be specific about what you mean.

I wish I could help you mate but I honestly have never seen any pictures of the Dark City besides what you have found - I have found a few good literary references for the outlay of DEldar rooms and things, if you are interested. But if you really want pictures that reflect Commorragh, look for stuff from DnD and maybe Magic: The Gathering that relates to some of the more mind-bending landscapes - Commorragh is supposed to be this twilight realm of completely manufactured reality, and I could only imagine that beings as twisted and vain as the DEldar would create a world to make Lovecraft blush.

Out of curiosity, bruva, what is the story? I always wanted to do something in the Dark City but I had thought it would include DEldar characters navigating the power plays of Commorragh. What lies in store for the servants of the Emperor in the Sci-Fi equivalent of an unseemly Unseelie Court?

Goliath race and ranged Fighter/various other classes capable of using bows is the best you're gonna get with 5e DnD.

If you're starting at level 5 or higher, i would also say to have him use the DMG optional rule that has you make a single attack instead of multiples and compound the damage, so that rather than two shots for 1d10+stat it's one for 2d10 plus double stat.

That helps get across the draw weight he's working with. If you want to take it a step further give him a 'giant longbow' statted up as a magic item that does 2d6 damage and can substitute Strength for Dex.

It'd be a lot of damage in a single shot, but it wouldnt be too overwhelming.

Presumably, they're a stand in for the trademarked name Dungeons and Dragons. I'd imagine something similar, but obviously tweaked to fit the cartoon's world.

The not-D&D they play in Mazes and Monsters seems really fun. Especially the way they talk about it outside the game ("You play at the 7th level?!").

For an anti-D&D book/film, it sure made me want to play more D&D.

We should make a cartoony B/X clone called Pixies and Pythons.
