good thread

Relatively speaking, which says a lot about the other guys.

Congrats. Sounds like it was something that took a while and a lot of effort to finally do. Sometimes I wish I could dump a problem player definitively instead of just giving reprimands. But when I don't, in hindsight the issues never seem that bad the day after, when everyone's tempers have cooled down.

I hope your game improves though. Agree completely that GMs aren't personal stress balls for you to vent your issues at.

Good on you OP. That kind of thing can be hard to deal with, and it's especially insidious if during their not shitty times they can be a good player.

I had a similar issue a few years back, except they were my boyfriend as well as a player. Shit got real ugly before things finally broke, but goddamn I'm so much better off being rid of them.

>>54008471
are you going to tell us what they did to be "THAT GUY". because thats the interesting part.

There's a quote I see often on the loading screens of Total Warhammer that goes something like

>I'm sure he didn't love me the most; that honor goes to Isabella. But he loved me the longest.

said by Manfredd. What is that even supposed to mean? I thought he was turned sometime after Vlad took over Sylvania, so it's not likely he was a vampire longer than Isabella, even if he came before. Even if he was actually far older, what does it matter that you were loved the longest?

Didn't get around to responding to the last thread. But Snikch isn't just an assassin, he's a ninja, and he triple wields, which you presumably wouldn't do unless you were dueling someone.

Statlines:
Queek:
M5- -Ws7- -Bs6- -S4- -T4- -W3- -I7- -A4(5)- -Ld8-

Magic items double wounds caused, inflicts a S 3 hit on attackers.

Snikch
-M6- -Ws8- -Bs6- -S4- -T4- -W3- -I10- -A5- -Ld9-

Magic items give additional -1 to enemy saves, cause d3 wounds per wound, can double his strength (to 8) 3 times per battle during the magic phase.

Snikch slays him.

I need more friendly monsters.

I am just starting to get into battletech fluff, any recommendations as to what novels to start with?

>>53995205
Legend of the Jade Phoenix trilogy for early Clans, Wolves on the Border, just about any novel written by Robert N. Charrette, and depending on your taste the Warrior and Blood of Kerensky trilogies.

>>53995205
Decision at thunder rift or wolves on the border are my two favorite novels. Else just read source books on factions that interest you.

In the midst of creating a Chaos Warband for 8th ed. Basic idea is that they were White Scar successors who got some kind of skin mutation. They find a medicinal cure, but it's super addictive, and eventually the Chapter gets excommunicated for their irresponsible behaviour after it has basically consumed the will and rational thinking of the Marines. Obviously they worship Slaanesh, and have gotten into a habit of stealing technology due to lack of knowledge on how to repair most of their equipment that isn't a bike or rhino. Ride into battle on bikes, huffing weird drug stimulants through rebreathers fitted into their helmets, accompanied by Daemonettes mounted on Steeds of Slaanesh.

Still trying to come up with a name. Currently waiting on my 2x Storm talons to arrive for conversion therapy into walkers, and for my 2x Dark Imperium primaris forces to arrive for painting.

I heard Dust Tactics is pretty cool. It needs a dedicated, segmented board, though

>>53963923
I thought Dust Tactics died? Due to poor sales or something.

Abusive company with a past they cannot hide under a ton of "we listen to the community now" make up. Excellent plastic BTW.

Now at their lowest point ever. Expect a comeback next year.

Fantasy Flight showed everyone how to make a succesfull game years ago. Top proffesionals.

I still cannot understand the "success" of this game. Their 1st edition was totally broken, and they still survive somehow.

>Boltaction
Historic Wargamers play in a totally different league IMHO.

Great miniatures, great design, great visuals. But they have some kind of "gravitational pull" that makes every project delays 2 years.

Fucking way to go. An example of how to make an ejoyable collecting game without becoming stupidly complex or a totally unreachable ghetto geek thing.

General Rules

1.) No combat hacks.
This means no usage of modded clients which give a direct mechanical aim/damage/range bonus to its user. Xray is fine. Minimaps are fine. Kill Aura and trajectory predictors are not.

2.) No spamming.
Since there's no global chat, spamming can only be done in 3 ways and all 3 are guaranteed to get a permanent ban.
a) Creating/deleting a town repeatedly.
b) Consistently and rapidly privately messaging a person even after they've made it clear that they want you to stop.
c) Spamming the chat in lobby.
If more ways to spam are discovered, staff will take the necessary precautions to punish it even if it is not specifically covered by this rule at the time.

3.) Shitting up the /tg/craft wiki, board, discord or community in general.
This means the following;
a) Being banned repeatedly from the /tg/craft discord for severe and repeated rule violations. If you don't like the discord's rules, just stay away from it.
b) Editing lore of other players on the wiki without their explicit permission to do so at the time.
c) Submitting NSFW lore and imagery to the wiki or board.
d) Threathening community members and/or creating unnecessary personal drama and conflict with harrassment, blackmails, or humiliation.

4.) Intentionally disrupting the server's operation
Creating lag machines, bricking plugins, or abusing glitches, inadvertently or not, in such as a way to disrupt server operation will have the offending player temporarily banned for a duration of a week minimum and 60 days maximum. Since proper lag machines often require a team effort, or town members are atleast generally aware of what their neighbours are doing, the penalties may be shared across the entire town. Tell your fellow players to stop - if they refuse, report them.

[cont.]

5.) No Towns or Nations without Lore
If your town or nation does not have a wiki page up 72 hours after it has been founded, and this wiki page does not contain approximately 200 words of lore written in comprehensible english, you can expect to receive a warning from an admin. Several repeated warnings may result in your town being deleted.
Additionaly, if your lore is not representative of server theme, we may reject it. You will be given another 72 hours after then to try and write again, and you will be guided by the admin and/or the community towards improving your lore to fit in.
Failure to comply multiple times will result in a permanent ban. Pretending to be dumb and writing memelore that is blatantly ridiculing this rule's intent will get you temporary bans ranging from 24 hours to 30 days, or perhaps having the permission the make towns revoked from you permanently.

6.) No alt accounts allowed
Using multiple Minecraft accounts to play on this server will get you perma-banned on all of them..

minecraft version? how serious is the rp?

It's a good game, you can see they took a lot of inspiration from Flames of War and other tabletop wargames.

I don't really understand some of the choices with the battlegroup composition. Why do Allies get 1 firefly without veterancy compared to Germans getting 2 Panthers with veterancy.. Shouldn't that be the other way around?

I am going to finish my Panzer III now, will try and post a pic when finished.

>>53873881
I'm actually not that big of a fan of "dedicated" utility powers, cause I feel the mundane ones limit what your character can do without powers (i.e. that arrow ladder power Hunter Rangers get, for example), and the magical ones could often be rolled into rituals mostly... and you give up more combat focused stuff for them to boot, but that's more a systematic issue.

Then there's also the ones that are kinda uninspired (replacement powers, simple + powers) and let characters cheese their way into being good in everything (i.e. Arcana buff wizard).

So yeah, generally not a fan I think.

But just picking a cool one randomly, I'll go ahead and say that Chariot of Susterre is fucking metal. I'm interested to see what others have to say.

Why is our game so shitty, lads?

>>53874582
>I'm actually not that big of a fan of "dedicated" utility powers, cause I feel the mundane ones limit what your character can do without powers

This... is possibly a fair perspective. An interesting design problem.
It's a similar problem with how some games might put combat manuevers (disarming, tripping, etc) or whatnot behind explicit feats or class features (other recent DnDs do this, but original DnDs did not) - this basically says that such things are not-allowed unless you have that ability.

But of course outside of combat things seem to be more fuzzy in what is allowed/not, even though they might interact with defined mechanics (eg DCs and their maths) the same as combat. Archer's Stairway, for example, just makes it easier to climb some vertical spacing. Now before that ability was added, I could see people allowing whomever to do this (however mechanically - maybe it drops from Hard to Moderate, or whatever? No skill roll? Spammed?), but if it exists as defined as it is, people might feel as if they can no longer do such things, because they haven't bought that explicit option.

A similar phenomenon exists with skill lists and getting too specific. The more specific you are, the more you you have to explicitly list what you can do (and in a way, you might more define what you cannot do) eg having just "Science" versus having "Physics", "Maths", "Biology" etc - in that case you can actually end up with a top tier physician/biologist, but be bad at math.
