That's why I'm currently building a prototype of a Pokemon TT game in which Pokemon are not nearly as complex and battling can be easily done with few hassles.

It will take inspiration from games that build dice pools in order to compete with other characters or Pokemon. The Pokemon themselves will only have two core attributes: Strength and Agility. As for other attributes, such as Charisma or Willpower, it's assumed that Pokemon share the values of their Trainers. Strength dictates the amount of HP and Damage a Pokemon can produce, and Agility helps in winning opposing rolls. Trainers will use skills to assist their Pokemon in getting their actions across. This system will use d6's and d20's (inb4 d20 ugh). The d20 is purely used as a way to determine critical effects or rare dodge chances, but they do not become a wacky auto pass or auto fail mechanic. Here's an example of how a battle might flow in this system:

To be continued...(1)

(2)

Two trainers, Bill and Pete, decide to have a battle between Bill's Pikachu and Pete's Charmander. Instead of going through entire character sheets for both Pokemon and Trainer, we simply build dice pools based on the trainer's intelligence and skill and the Pokemon's level and speed.

So the battle starts. Bill commands Pikachu to use Thundershock, and Pete commands Charmander to use Ember. Each trainer adds a d6 to their pool equal to their Int, so let's say 2d6 for Bill and 3d6 for Pete. Bill's Pikachu is a higher level, but not by too much, so Bill adds another d6 to even the playing field. Finally, they both add a d20 to their pools. They both roll their dice. Their Pokemon adds their Agility value to the result, and each trainer can re-roll a number of their d6's equal to their ranks in Battle Command skill (name in progress). Let's say that with a higher skill from Bill and a higher Agility rating from his Pikachu, Pikachu is able to win the roll. Bill also rolls a 20 on his d20, so not only does the attack go through, it does a critical effect as well, adding a Paralysis effect. The damage is taken from Charmander's HP, and since Charmander lost the roll, his attack does not go through, ending the Attack phase. Trainers continue to issue commands and roll until a victor is decided.

I'm currently working on the rules for everything right now. I just need to name skills, add items and set values for each Pokemon but that's the gist of it, it won't be as simple as that but not complicated either. I'm hoping that after one session Trainers can get used to it and should be able to complete battles within 10-30 minutes, depending on party size.

I actually feel like playing pokemon tabletop now. For some reason, I fucking love pokemon.

Btw, a bit out of topic, but I recently made a pokemon boardgame just because I was bored. :D

buy the dark vengeance set thats going on sale right now for cheap and build a big chaos army out of it (the dark angels just need a lil converting)

you get a stupid amount of miniatures in that set

>>53933476

Give up. You can't buy miniatures and paint them if you don't have money unless you already have paints and supplies from building Gundam or military models. Having those means you can just focus on buying miniatures which will help.

My suggestion to you is to save $50 every month and after 3-6 months you will be completely set up. But since you have very little money right now you are probably jobless and/or incapable of simple budgeting.

Locked in an inquisitorial black site.

His story is based in a parallel universe where he's literally the one in Cato Sicarius's place, and what was planned was he was to spend some time in wonderful inquisition faith torture before they hired him, he did a few things, and then starts his own chapter because he get's fucked over something extra.

>>53928493
“I had some big plans for Titus,” van Lierop told PAR. “The second part of his story was to focus on a ‘Titus Unleashed’ plot—basically there were forces arrayed against him that would see his loyalty to the Adeptus Astartes pushed to its limit, and his reaction would be to kind of ‘go rogue,’ and we'd see a different Titus, not quite as in control as we saw him in Space Marine. He would be kicked out as a consequence—exiled, which would basically be a death sentence for him.”

The sequel would've been a much more aggressive game than the first one, which showed Titus and his marines take down all sorts of enemies, from Orcs to Chaos forces.

The third would bring things to an epic conclusion, according to van Lierop.

“He would survive, and come back even stronger in the third game, where other Space Marines still loyal to him would rally around him and he'd return to ‘clean house,’ but as the head of a brand new Chapter that we would build around him.”

Like punching the nearest tau/elfdar player in the dick.

I'm pretty sure they will. Look in the rulebook were they explain choices for detachments. They specifically mention the possibility of a single unit to be the only choice for a slot. It'll be fine with me if they come at an actual balanced point cost, but I doubt they'd manageto do that.

>>53928377
I hope they do. A lot of options and special rules got removed, and formations would be an excellent place to bring them back. The issues with formations in 7th edition were mostly balance, not anything inherent to the idea of formations.

Question for fellow Custard players:
How to use the Coronus? Without Assault Vehicle it seems kinda shit, but my all-infantry custodes force hasn't been too hot, either.
Not a fan of the model, but with the Repulsor fulfilling my desire for flying bricks I figure I can get a trio of them with some turret replacements instead.

Dude Octarius is an infinite supply of orc. It's like the nids found an infinite resource to mine in a rts. Some shit is gonna go down in fluff and I'm rooting for orks and hoping for some awesome nid/ork/chaos fluff but I think this one is gonna be the nids victory once the orks pull out to go waagh elsewhere for a bigga n betta foight. Everyone is getting bigga n stronga from this conflict. Even the Chaos boyz.

>>53926432
I think it's more that the main tendril fell. Kinda like how Behemoth was beaten at Macragge, but there are still Behemoth splinter Fleets around.

In any case, it looks like Hydra is just gonna eat up Leviathan's remains and make itself into the new big Hive Fleet.

>>53926432
I think "what the fuck is going on with tyranid hive fleets in general" is a better question. They show up as a massive fleet of ships, rampage through space then lose a single decisive ground action which somehow causes them to break into splinter fleets for some reason and those splinter fleets just roam around aimlessly for centuries without regrouping or behaving remotely intelligently for some reason.

It's almost as if GW is bad at writing and has no idea what to even do with half the factions.

I was too young to play the Digimon TCG but it seems really cool. Too bad the reprint will probably never come to the states.

Alice in Wonderland is probably my favorite IP so I would love so see it work. You have factions you could split into archetypes or colors and lots of characters to make into creatures and such. Although I feel like I would want an Alice TCG to think outside the box somehow and instead of monsters battling put the conflict someplace else. Maybe players play quests that either player can complete and the first to win a certain number of these contests is the winner.

That reminds me of the Harry Potter TCG which is another hidden gem like Queen's Blade

>>53925769
lets no over think a TCG. That's what happened with MLP and L5R. Those games were a serious mess and made no sense. The only reason anyone played MLP cause bronies needed a new hobbie. The game was too much work. If someone makes a new card game, they need to make it simple and not go full retard.

>HP TCG
AHA
I brought that up in my first few threads. Not many people seem to remember it at the start of the 2ks

>>53926205
The only reason I know of it is because I was doing research on TCGs. I never played it but I really want to.

The same card was common and uncommon in different sets. Very interesting.

Limited

An artifact-centered set having common-level artifact removal so easily would be a huge issue

They'll get stopped by Razor wire and bombed to shit by our superior air force and artillery.

Die horribly. If any faction invaded modern day Earth we would lose. T'au would be the most polite about it.

You must pretty much be That Guy to choose to be a GM.

>>53917229
Do you allow your players to have follower NPCs?

Wondering, because I want to play a Rigger with a semi-truck that has a bunch of not!Warboys.

Having trouble digging up some fluff. Which of the NAN states refuse to recognize corporate extraterritoriality? Especially interested in how the PCC does it, since they're basically a corp anyway. Would they recognize it for others?

>>53918038
That is a really bad idea, combat gets slowed down enough with matrix shenanigans, adding in another half-dozen initiatives to track would strain the system, the other players, and your GM's patience.
