Think I could buy Games Workshop with minimal paperwork with that kind of dough?

>>43591480
Just buy like three Forge World models and you're poor again.

Just divide it equally between Delta Green and Degenesis.kickstarters.

Kickstarter made this kind of easy, since you can just find however many you need, back them each for $obscene to use up most of it.

Be that weird fucker who contributes $100k to a $40k kickstarter and just stands there as a massive statistical anomaly, like a throbbing dick made of money.

I'm sure I could get a few GW kits for that money. Maybe enough to start a new army.

>>43591480

Does "buying a games company" count as spending it all on traditional games?

>>43591994
With respect to the Armageddon Steel Legion, I don't like them as much.

Also, getting others to paint it for you is for chumps. But hiring someone really good to teach me would be acceptable.

>>43591986
You'd have very little input on game design as a shareholder. Shareholders vote on things like appointing people to a board of directors, investment strategies, CEO pay packages, business plans, etc. You'd be voting on things that in turn would determine game design. You'd be at least one step removed, if not more, from the game designers.

>>43592038
>You'd be at least one step removed, if not more, from the game designers.

To be fair, this is arguably more useful than being a game designer, as now you're able to simply hire people that agree with your decision rather than go through the effort of convincing people your vision is better.

>>43592002

Most game companies are privately owned, so you could absolutely buy a company and rule over it with more authority than a shareholder ever could.

>I am now imagining a fa/tg/uy buying Paizo Publishing

>>43591480

>>43591960

Eh. It doesn't mean it's not a videogame just because people on /tg/ like it. It's just one of the videogames approved by /tg/.

>>43592121
You could invest in a company.

Just call up and keep talking to people until you get someone with the authority to help you.

If it really is 100 million USD, I doubt it'll take long.

>>43591480

Start a games-related kickstarter, pledge the $100 million to my own kickstarter so most of the money returns to me.

The deal didn't specify how the money must be spent, so long as the money is going to traditional games.

If you're able to begin negotiating a 100m buyout of a company, that 100m is effectively "spent" even if it's still technically sitting in your bank account while working out details with the board.

Depends on what exactly is available. Could be a monthly thing, like 15$. If it gives me access to air brushes that I wouldn't buy or semi-regular classes I would pay for that.

And, it would have to include a secure place to let your shit dry after you're done. Call it an Art Hall and Lock Up Membership.

I'd say no food or drink in the painting hall. But sell that shit in the gaming area. But, if you're retarded and spill something or get cheese dust over someone else's models you're forbidden from bringing food or drink in there again.

Every LGS I've seen sells paint already. But if you're a member you get like a pot a month or something on the house. Or you can offer custom mix services to members, a pot a month.

I'd be hesitant to do multiple levels of membership. Who needs more than one pot of custom mix paint a month? And those that do, would be willing to pay for that to be done separately.

You could have in house tournaments with prizes other than store credit.

>>43593104
First off, I'll give you the description of each faction I have written up to put in the rulebook, which should get you a feel for the world and the countries.

The Republic of Kiserre
“For Freedom and Liberty”
Kiserran mechs, called Suits, have the best armor in the world, and strongly prefer cannons over melee weapons or beams.

The Aquilonese Empire
“For Truth and Justice!”
Aquilonese mechs, called Platforms, are quadrupedal and deadly accurate with their cannon and beams, but rarely mount melee weapons and are incredibly slow compared to other nations.

The Shoshkepali Directorate
“For Science and Progress!”
Shoshkepali mechs, known as Sarcophagi, mount debilitating Tesla weapons that weaken their enemy with bolts of lightning before moving in for a melee execution. Larger Shoshkepali mechs are able to mount the most effective beam weapons in the world, but Shoshkepal rarely uses cannon of any sort.

(cont)

>>43593154
The Nzemyan Union
“For Premier and Tribe!”
Nzemyans field small, mech-like units known as Armors, which operate in tight-knit teams focused on defeating the enemy in melee or with cannon, though they are unable to mount Beams.

The Astarian Principality
“For Princess and Country!”
Fast and brutal in melee, Astaria’s Knights mount heavy armor and shields that enable them to shrug off cannon rounds, but they eschew cannons or beams to meet this end, preferring disposable rockets for their ranged armament.

The Varangian Kingdom
“For Order and Glory!”
Perhaps the most balanced of mechs, the Varangian Justiciars often mount a motley collection of melee weapons, cannon, and beams that make them an unpredictable threat to face.

The Caesaropapy of Fillion
“For Faith and Creation”
The ethereal stalking Tripods of Fillion’s army often mount deadly, spewing clouds of choking black smoke as a melee option, emulating other countries’ cannons and beams with their own Heat Rays, but their advanced weapons and slim frame leave them poorly armored.

>>43591480
Sweet. I get my own titan legion.

I spend it all on the most traditional game of all: whores

>>43591480
Would funding artificial intelligence research qualify?
Or genetical engineering of catgirls for domestic ownership.

>>43593154
>>43593168
God yes.

Tesla beams alone would sell this for me.

>>43593221
This is a slippery slope, if we allow SCIENCE into the building soon enough someone will find a way to justify immortality or armageddon.

>>43593137
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3p_VuPIS2c

>>43593236
Yup. The Teleforce Beam's rules are wonderful. You draw a line from the mech to the edge of the board in any direction. All infantry models under the line are destroyed. All mecha models under the line are destroyed.

Of course, it takes a turn to charge up, so your opponent usually has time to scatter.

Buy two baneblades

>>43593258
This is good.

Are the countries actively killing each other or is it a cold war? Is there spooky shit happening between the lines?

>>43593510
Actively killing each other, but they treat war kind of like pre-WW1 Europe did, sporadic small wars that are seen as a legitimate way to accomplish goals.

There's no paranormal stuff involved, aside from the violations of physics needed to justify mechs.

>>43593099
In a setting dominated by trench warfare straightish borders make sense

>>43591480
I buy hundreds of copies of various core rules books, player handbooks, and GM books. I create a non for profit for the support of the traditinal game industry. Invest the remaining capital into said foundation. Open public gaming space. Get in contact with local school districts. Send volunteer workers armed with aforementioned rule books to teach and promote traditional gaming as an extracuricular activity. Watch a new generation of gamers grow under my influence.

>>43593556
Those borders also tend to change occasionally, so the ones on the map are more of guidelines and approximations than actual map control.

>>43593541
So its more skirmish that battle scale? Fucking cool.

Your Dudes or Named Dudes?

>>43593202

If you get them to pretend to be vampires or naughty librarians or something it counts as roleplaying, right?

>>43593606
A mix. You can run generic or named ones, but the named ones have special abilities. So that Astarian Model 183 Paladin mech might be piloted by any Knight, or it might be piloted by Erazem Nassiran, Knight-Commander. At the same time, your general might be a generic Infantry General, or it might be Princess Arminia Caliak herself(pictured) taking command of Astaria's forces in the field.

The game will be sort of skirmish scale; it'll use 15mm miniatures, and the average game is 200 points. An infantryman is one point, so if you like, you could field a full infantry company, but you'll be better off with a truncated platoon and five or six mecha.

I also plan to make the game have elements of a trading card game, with unique pilots, Mech Rigs, Commanders, and the like taking the form of cards that can be bought in boosters.

>>43593700
Infantry v Mechs is one of my favorite things ever. Especially if the Infantry can win without a miracle.

>>43591480
I buy all the systems, board games and minis I ever wanted... Perhaps some limited editions that interest me, if available.

Then I go to kickstarter and invest the rest in the next best traditional game there.

I am alive and happy... However I probably need a bigger hobby room.

>>43591480
That's easy OP, I buy one Warlord Titan from Forge World.

>>43593771
Trenchbreaker has occasionally been called "Infantry Death Simulator 1916" by people I've worked with on it.

If an infantryman is hit by a mech weapon or in the radius of an explosion, he dies.

If an infantryman is within melee range of a hostile mech, he dies.

Anti-tank rifles don't exist because this setting hasn't been able to introduce guncotton.

So no, infantry really can't beat mecha. This is a deliberate choice because I want to make a game where mecha are the focus and infantry die in droves.

>>43593700

Sounds ambitious, but interesting. How far into the design process are you? And do you have a website for people to keep tabs on your project?

>>43591480
Easy. I buy a pack of cards.

>>43593856
No website. I've got the rules mostly worked out, and you can check them out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13fvJ4q63RR_wFSQSL62iNyPk9fKqTOABMKvYa5o9bds/edit

It's really just something I occasionally put work into, but it's gotten to be a coherent game. If I had backing money, I could definitely turn it into a fun and playable game.

24 hours is not enough time to pay for most of the actually useful things.

It would take months to negotiate a deal to buyout a company, and probably even longer to make your own or do something as simple as finding a place and constructing a building.

Besides which, the act alone of converting that cash into a currency I can use would create a small but noticeable bump in the economy that may perhaps be more effective at getting other people to play tg because they're richer than anything else I could do in a day. But converting such a large sum might ALSO take more than a day.

So really, only option is less than 24 hour kickstarters, and that's very few options.

This. We'll both be killed because it isn't /tg/ related at all, but god damn do I have some stupidly niche stuff that I will never have satisfied unless I do this. At least I can pride myself that pretty much none of it is gross by /tg/'s low, low, low standards.

Since it would take too long to actually buy GW, I would buy every model GW puts out, plus everything by Forge World. I would then invest the rest of the money in /tg/ related stocks, and after the 24 hours are up, I would sell all the stocks back. I now have every model I could ever want, and I'm rich.

I commission a bunch of traditional games of various genres with a loli theme.
Loli minis wargame.
Loli dungeon crawl.
Loli LCG.
Loli Worker placement.
Loli drafting.
Loli Deck/dice bulding.
Trading lolis in the Mediterranean.
the usual stuff.

If you don't mind my asking, what's keeping you from taking that next step? You have a well thought out system and universe that you've obviously invested a lot of time and care into.

>>43594352
How would I be sued for that, and why would I do it?

>>43594381
You're already a closet pedophile. Might as well go full out when you have the money.

>>43591480
In order of what I will attempt:

1) Buy as much stock in /tg/ companies as is feasible. Considering most are not publicly traded, probably not going to get me a lot, but I'll take what I can.

2)Try to wrangle a bigger house with space for hosting games. I can barely manage a RPG at my place, wargaming is right out. Probably can't manage to buy it for cash on the barrel, but I will try.

3) If that doesn't fly because it's not /tg/ enough, I'll have a look around my area to see if there's buildings/undeveloped land available I could buy with cash on the barrel to turn into a LARP area - there are very few LARPs locally.

4) I purchase everything I would like from my local stores, talk with the owners if I can and arrange to pay in massive cash investments - I want these guys to stick around, and will drop a bunch of cash on them to do so.

5) Anything left, I drop into random /tg/ Kickstarters.

If I could manage to find sellers for property in 24 hours, I might be able to do it. If not, I'm reduced to massively overfunding kickstarters like everyone else. Probably won't die though.

>>43593593
Just a thought, but you could represent shifting, contested borders with a thicker line of a different color. Also, I don't play wargames but I'd fucking play this have Martian Tripods. Do those have a dodge option? And is this all mechs or are there infantry units?

>>43594415
>closet
And I'd rather have actual games about cute lolis rather than find a loophole to find 100 million dollars on loli porn. You also didn't tell me how I'd be sued.

>>43594366
Mostly, I don't have any starter money, and I want to finish the system before I ask anyone for that money. Especially since Kickstarter is how it's done these days.

>>43594451
Child pornography.

>>43594432
There are infantry but they don't do much in the way of killing. Tripods don't really have a dodge option, because they're the Glass Cannon faction, so dying easily is necessary for balance.

>>43594556

Have to pay them upfront. If they don't show up, whatever I spent the money hiring them to do /tg/ stuff for is still valid meaning I don't die. If a couple do show up, neat I can probably have several dozen armies done in a week even if they are poorly painted.

10k limit on kickstarters I've been told.

I'd say they'd live so long as there wasn't a problem with the processing. If everything goes ahead fine I'd call it safe. It'd be a nasty surprise if after the 24 hours were up and they were feeling safeto find out the transaction hadn't gone through correctly.

>>43591480
I buy out all the stock from my local Good Games (they're great guys), buy a House (which shall be a glorified storage room for all of my traditional games), then I use most of what remains to establish a "traditional games for kids" organization which will provide such enjoyments to all manner of disadvantaged kids across the world.

If that doesn't work, I make a few kickstarter's dreams come true.

>>43595356
Is that per transaction or total?

>>43591480
buy as much stock of GW as possible.
>that's traditional games

I pay my brother $100mil to play a game of 40k with me, and then get him to do the same back to me.

Then I split some of the money among close family members, and send a good portion to a charity worker I know so he can start an orphanage or something.

>>43591480
Buy out all the stocks of aos; so that gw pumps it up thinking that it's all that. So that all th fa/tg/uys get but hurt when they seeing the massive selling point of a reboot proceed to reboot 40k ruining the plot and fluff to a point where it eventually collapse under its own ridiculousness

>>43591480
I have my brother sell me a pack of playing cards at a 2,500,000,000% markup.

It would be per pledge most likely, someone said it in one of the bones 3 threads.

>>43591480

So you could just repeatedly pledge 10k to something until you hit a million.

>>43595345
Kiserre as a country is basically a response to Libertarian Americans, so...

>>43595472
100 million, if the cap is real then you have 9 seconds to make each pledge.
You can't just make new pledges on the same thing, you would just be replacing the old one each time. Also might not qualify as being spent in time if you don't find ones ending soon enough.

>>43595560
Get some friends to help you. Or if you can code, do it that way. But writing the code to do so may take longer than 24 hours.

>>43595560
You could have multiple people helping you with it. Put those funds into numerous accounts and have people pledge from several computers. If you don't have anyone you can trust to help you with it, then you are a poor man indeed.

I'd build two Vintage decks.

>>43596445

>>43591480

I absolutely could, but I have more important stuff to use that kind of money on. I would spend the money on the important issues that need fixing in my life, and then gladly get shot dead afterward knowing I did the right thing.

I would spend 20 million on 40k kits for myself, then another 10 million on flames of war. Then I would spend the rest on 40k kits and donate them to poorfags

>>43597678
Someone start mathing

>>43591480

I'd buy a majority stake in Games Workshop. They own quite a bit of IP, and a majority stake gives me a controlling interest. Yes, the board doesn't have direct executive authority (>>43592038 is right), but one guy with controlling interest can hire/fire c-level execs and so in practice he has all the influence. In companies where I've worked, the majority shareholder has held all the cards and the senior execs can be outflanked if it doesn't look like they're competent.

I have enough business experience that I think I could handle this. I've never sat on a board of directors, but I've been pretty high up in management.

>>43592076

Exactly. That's the plan. Personnel is policy, as they say. I'd love to lure Rick Priestley back and refocus the company on games rather than collectibles.

In addition to the IP, GW has channel relationships (shitty, I admit), design and manufacturing capability, publishers, and a full multimedia creative team.

One challenge is that GW's current market cap is $280 million US. So $140 to get a controlling stake. One hundred million isn't enough at this particular moment, but usually is plenty.

Other major RPG vendors are either very small potatoes that won't be worth more than a dozen million or so, or owned by some large parent company (WotC/Hasbro, CGL/Topps, etc).

I'd reserve five million to go to Steve Jackson Games. This would finance a fifth edition complete with the full run of hardbacks, including helping Pulver finish Vehicles and get a bestiary sketched out. Not much would actually change, but layout and the core book organization would be totally revisited. Plus all new art. I'm pretty sure that's a five million dollar job, but I'd go higher if necessary. Also, since Steve Jackson is the owner and CEO, he can negotiate and sign a deal in a day. His reputation and integrity as a businessman is absolutely sterling.

If GW doesnt work out, then I'm stuck. No other comparable game company is publicly traded.

I will make a contest using $50m as my budget, and the grand prize for the winner is the other $50m.

The contest will test the players' skill and luck in surviving traditional games as if they were real.

Buy every book for every game I could feasibly see myself playing. Get a shit ton of minis. Buy the rarest MTG card and burn it. Buy a sweet suit of armor and LARP gear, donate the rest to crowd sourcing Campaigns and buy some land for one of my favorite LARPs to use.

>>43592148

The legal complications alone would take weeks even if rushed. The company would HAVE to be public.

>>43591480
Easily. Buy every magic card I want, buy myself into 40k (still on ebay because fuck GW), buy some cool board games, hell, maybe even by myself a card store. I'm pretty sure people would give me their store if I dropped a couple million at their feet.

I would offer the whole sum to Steve Jackson Games to make GURPS 4e Vehicle Design an actual fucking priority

>>43598943
They'll probably take it, make a big announcement about it, then never mention it again for years and claim there were production issues so use the starship rules in the meantime if asked about it.

Or just call up TCGplayer and see if I can work something out, i'm just a city over from their headquarters.

I buy GW.

Rules are released for free online. I buy battlescribe and make it an official app. A new edition of rules drops with all updates in realtime, with quarterly balance updates based on feedback from top 5% of ranked players.

FLGS prize support is brought back. Players register their armies. Large events are organized where you are "dispatched" to warzones at other FLGS.

Narrative events make a comeback. Sales are based on moving product. Prices are slashed to 60% of what they are now. No model is more than 15 dollars for infantry. Basic squaddies are 2/each. Vehicles are 30. Large vehicles and monstrous creatures are 50.

Direct order options are available with bare sprues and bulk discounts.

Upgrade packs are available with weapon options. 250 point killteams are available for 80 dollars. FLGS are offered an additional 10 dollar kickback if they assemble and prime them. Each box offers some splat history about the army and the characters.

Forgeworld keeps producing upgrades and options. Unique characters and smaller warbands become a thing. We produce high end bases and sell them for cheap.

Continue production of scenario kits with special rules.

Narrative missions and campaigns everywhere.

I would probably run GW into the ground, but, fuck it. I would have Fantasy Flight as well, and have them help us out.

>>43601286

As the guy upthread showed, all 50 of the most expensive MTG sales on eBay, put together, is just shy of $100k. So you just need to find another 1000 ebays and buy their 50 most ridiculously overpriced offers to get $100,000k.
Which is just not possible.

>>43601455
try adding all the cards on TCG and MCM

>>43591480
By MTG cards. ALL OF THEM.

Then burn the pile.

>>43601493

Yeah, I doubt you'll get anywhere near $2 million, much less a hundred.

I'd spend as much as I could in the first 22 hours. Then I'd play blackjack against my wife's sister who lives next door for 2 hours (just to have a safety net), and when I come up with 20, I'd bet whatever I had left over against a sufficient number of portions of her "million dollar" tortilla soup. I'd then take a hit.

Blackjack is a traditional game, so losing money gambling on it counts. I'd get tons of free toys, and I'd make a smart person I like rich with no strings attached.

If this isn't allowed, I'd buy fuckloads of sapphires, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, onyxes, and amethysts, and have like a bunch of copies of the most boss-ass Chinese checkers sets in the world. I'd then sell all but one.

>>43601534
I tried adding ONLY the Black Lotuses on MCM and got around $700k

So you're right, it will be nowhere near $2 million.

>>43591480

hm, yeah. I just shittily calculated how much it would be to buy armies, and you could probably get 3 of every unit GW currently sells for around 50k. 3 of every Forge world might run you a bit more than that.
that's... quite a lot of fucking money to spend in a day.
I would probably buy my local game shop(s) with that kind of money, then.

Invest in my flgs
buy all the board games at the game stores in the surrounding area and donate them to kids homes
buy cards until the rest if gone.

>buy every possible copy of every card on the reserve list until WOTC realizes how fucking stupid a reserve list is.

Also buy every goyf just for shots and gigles

Call up Mantic Games as an investor.
Fresher start than GW.

Commission painters
Easily triple the cost of the miniatures you're buying
You'll hit the target $$$ faster.

>>43591480
I buy one of everything of what SJG has in stock. Then I do that for everyone BUT GW, probably some Mantic, those Irish guys that do Mutant Chronicles minis, Everything currently in publication from WW games, just go on down the list. I also probably buy a shit load of magic cards.

Oh. And all the painting and modeling gear I could ever use.

And a lot I probably have no need of, but is cool.

>>43591480
i buy like... 5 shittily painted games workshop 40k models off ebay, so thats 2million dollars in legal fees and 98million to afford the half a squad of space marines

Buy Gameswork shop.

Make them not shit on their customers.

Buy as much stock as he can? That'll let him take some control in the company.

>>43591480
GW equity is 34*1.5=51 mln USD.
Hasbro equity is 1.4 bln USD.
I believe I can.

>>43600847
I could buy a very large amount of shares in GW.

Different anon btw.

>>43591480
if i had 100.000.000 dollars, i would probably laugh at the GW jews drooling over my money, and buy other stuff or stuff from resellers.

Seriously, it's not only the prices that stop me from buying from GW. It's a matter of principle.
They can go fuck themselves.

Gift cards anon. Gift cards.

Buy out a few small digital fabrication companies, use their resources to turn my current dad's garage-tier gaming accessories business into a major market player, promote our products to hell and back, and maybe launch a game or two of our own.

If there's anything left over, then to Kickstarter!

Donate all 100 million to my local chapter of Dystopia Rising.

Guess the only sane response is to start my own company. Likely the most lucrative paying one in all of christendom.

Do my hypothetical employees continue to be paid in the event of me being unable to spend enough money within that time frame?

i need more guidelines
i must get physically the product with in that 24h window?
can i buy more product that i can reasonable use as an individual? (like 5 copies of 40k rulebooks, just because they are expensive)
painting/building suplies count as "spend on traditional games"?(so airbrushes, compressors, paint, brushes are in?)
making a board/room counts as ""spend on traditional games"?(spend on wood to make a table is valid?)
do paint services counts as "spend on traditional games"?
does airfix and historical miniatures counts as "spend on traditional games"?
do i need a rulebook for every game system i get a product?
after the 24h window, can i sell it or i must keep it?
can i negotiate the price?(like buy some common cards for more money?)
if that so
>Buy an airbrush and a compresor
>Buy all boardgames i can from all stores i can find
>Buy all historical miniatures i can
>Buy all GW products i can
>buy all paints

i think i can do it.

>>43604779
I don't think you'd be able to complete the challenge by buying at the product level. For example, buying an entire chapter's worth of Space Marines direct from GW cost something like £1100, IIRC. That's $1671.

Which means that for $1 million, you can buy 598 whole Space Marine chapters. Since you need to spend 100 times that, you'd have to buy 5980 Space Marine chapters.

Five-thousand, nine-hundred and eighty chapters of Space Marines. That is a truly fucking ridiculous number of Space Marine models.

FIFTY thousand and so on, dammit dude, math.

Also as seen above in thread, 50 most expensive ebay MTG positions clock up to one million. By adding more stuff, you could get maybe two-three.

I buy literally every single MtG product for sale in existence and throw the majority of them into a fire, leaving behind a few completed collections that will now be worth a significant sum of money. If I have any leftover money, which I probably will, I'll just throw a bunch of it into WotC's stock.

It's the only way, they'll be forced to remove the reserved list then!

REPRINT: EVERYTHING.

>>43605233
>I'll just throw a bunch of it into WotC's stock.
Okay guys, how big is the WotC's market worth? It was pointed out upthread that GW is bigger than 100mil, but what about them?

>>43605323
There is no WotC stock, WotC is a subsidiary of Hasbro. So you would have to buy Hasbro stocks, the value of Hasbro is roughly 9.9b. So you'd have 1% of the stocks,

Finding out the value of WotC is very hard and would take a long time, if it's possible at all.
Hasbro is not very cooperative in sharing these numbers.

But even if 100m would be a fair offer I doubt that Hasbro would sell. They probably have no interest in creating competition in the games market.

>>43606154
I was more thinking of controlling share to make them reprint shit i.e. how the above anons dreamed with GW.

>>43606293
As I said you'd need to buy Hasbro shares but your imaginary 100m is simply not nearly enough to have significant influence. GW annos would have had somewhere between 25-40% of the stocks.

Which means you have a better shot at buying WotC from Hasbro if you only want influence in WotC but it's nearly impossible to put a price on WotC, assuming that Hasbro would sell.

>>43600847
If the buys 100m of product and threatens to give it all away for free he can actually blackmail GW into doing whatever he wants. Becaue if he gives it away for free their sales would drop to zero for a foreseeble future.
