The answer is yes.

Competitive environments vary: some can be degenerate, while others are welcoming and decent.

Starting at the tabletop, the game is only as complicated as you allow it to be based on your collection.

Yes depending on how you start.

If you start off in an old format you'll need a small investment of a few thousand (legacy) or a few ten thousand (vintage) and even then you won't have fun.

Starting in draft/sealed and playing casual games to learn the mechanics is much more effective than jumping in deep.

EDH is great for timmy newbies and standard is often a decent starting block for people looking to play the game "properly".

The answer is pre-release.

>More Imperials
Ugh.

>>53787249
I'm actually more sick of unending space marines chapters for both Imperial and Chaos.

>>53787249
Nobody is forcing you to play imperial.

You speak of the individual. They preach of the rights of every man. Of one man. Who is this person and why is he more important than the rest? Why do the needs of the few come before the many? So I ask you this: How can this one man hope to stand against a unified people?

>>53783316
He is a Wiseman, a shaman, educated in the civilized ways but steeped in the traditions if our people.

He has the Mana scars. He has climbed the mount and spoken to the Stars. He has walked the dreamland's.

I like this idea.

Clever but most of it depends on how do you want to implement it

The books explain this. Try reading them.

The short answer is because of political reasons.

Depends on the type of game I'm in.

If it's an ERP, there is no way in hell I want to listen to awkward neck beards try to describe how their character is doing "lewd" things.

Anything else I'm fine with voice.

Yes. That is how feudal lords lost their power and land.

On an Indonesian finger puppet board?

Really?

Wizards live alone and rarely see each other at all, rarer still organize anything bigger or more lasting than a birthday party. They're far too rare and jealous of their power to form any kind of big guilds or governments or shit like that.

Universities, colleges, schools - largely independent educational establishments sustained through endowments and payments for magical services rendered, as well as alumni (and in some cases staff) donations

either independant people walking the earth looking for new magic and knowledge to pick up. Being priests of a religion involving a powerful magical being, and schools started by kingdoms or noble houses.

>run a game in a dwarf fortress world?

Dwarf Fortress World isn't really anything special except that it very specific rules about where monsters are found. If you want to run a game using those monsters, you could do it anywhere.

Do you mean run a fortress management game? Where the players aren't adventurers but do something else? Several games of the /OSR vein already do that sort of thing once you reach a certain level, adventurers are supposed to settle down and build a fort/tower/temple/thievesguild etc.

Usually the rules aren't terribly fleshed out, so you'd have to do some work on it yourself. The real question is are your players really into 'npc management', 'resource management', 'defense management' and effectively sitting around in one place? It would take a lot more bookkeeping sessions that most game groups are used to and be overall a lot more reactive/passive in nature.

>>53778094
>Would it be a functional campaign setting?

No, but that's rather the point.

So far, the only "That Guy" situation I've had to deal with in my current group was when one of the players tried to argue with me because she didn't think wormholes were hard sci-fi. Otherwise, she's be a good player.

He plays the most outlandish and idiotic characters anx constantly almost gets the group killed. He is only alive because the DM doesn't want to deal with the fallout of him dying. His excuse is that he is in character.

>He thinks RPing his background is Metagaming
>He thinks Metagaming is System Mastery
>He plays the same Religion-Obsessed Milquetoast self-analogue in every game
>He's always an arcane caster that does awful things to everyone
>He always announces he's Lawful Good, despite we haven't played a game with alignment in 2 years
>He tries to break up sessions hours early if anything bad happens to his precious character

...

>He's related to me and I'm pretty sure he'd self harm if he knew any of us organized a game without him

Nah 7E 40k did, theres 0 reason to play this shit game now

You mean 8th?

but don't worry, Company of Iron will fix it all! A skirmish game based on a skirmish game! they realized that by taking out the things that made warmachine unique and interesting in the first place, they could provide a new way to play! tired of competitive assholes that the game has pandered to since mk2? well now there will be even more of that, but with a new experience. surely this will be the GW killer.

I dm a game of it. Pretty good, with some pants on head retarded rules at times. I ignore a couple mostly the skill increasing system. I replaced it with an arbitrary xp system. The box set is a must to play. It comes with the best custom dice and player sheets!

Pretentious bullshit system with rules that are nothing unique but have unique names so as to make them sound special. Setting is basically Redwall with more edge so manchildren can pretend their shitty mouse world is a setting for adults. The dev is also a huge faggot twat, which I wouldn't mention except that it's relevant to why the system sucks.

>inb4 crane shills go "lololol you just proved you don't know what you are talking about" when they paid money for what is basically your average /r/RPG user's crappy d6 dice pool homebrew.

>>53775506
Do you know any system that would be good for a Redwall setting?

>>53775088
Also character ideas are cool too. They can be added to classes and such
