But is the board alive? I want to talk about meta gaming cyberpunk red to make my own version of Punished Snake/Solidus Snake and make my own PMC.

>>1259 Sadly no, Board is like 3 people who occasionally post.

The blue eyes structure got a lot of people into the game at my locals, and then it scared them away, it was hilarious. >everyone rushes to get their structures (not me because fuck them dragons) and accessories (sleeves, box, mat, etc) >since primite is expensive, a lot of people are making bank off of their old invoked cores >everyone is kaiba now >store does a free tournament that week, bans a lot of meta shit, it's basically a structure deck war >every single game goes "normal summon aleister, response?" followed by "on resolution, i chain droll", or "activate wishes, response?" followed by "i chain ash" >mechaba pass does NOT stop a lot of decks nowadays >they don't pack their own droll or crossout (for when the opponent doesn't have droll or ash, just nib), just the structure handtraps >fire king mostly doesn't give a shit, traptrix plays under nib, swordsoul made a comeback and it has plenty of gas to extend past 2 handtraps, etc >not a single blue eyes player makes it far >next week, only 5 of the new faces stuck around >store goes from being packed to having the same old people At least the owner made a lot of cash from it. >>1267 Cute romin.

>>1267 Which earth fairies? All of them?

>>1268 That is just how yu-gi-oh is like. You get all excited to play and then power creep hits you in the nuts and tells you you can't play. I really wish getting better at yugioh didn't just mean stopping your opponent from playing the game.

Isn't Roll20 full of Big Brother style moderators looking for wrongthinkers?

>>1260 Do you always make statements and then frame them as questions?

>>1244 I made a custom Avrae command to grant and keep track of my character's Crusader Maneuvers. It's pretty good.

>>1249 I imagine the point is you don't have to meet up, just everyone projecting the board on their dining table as if it were tabletop sim.

>>1263 You know now that I think about it that does sound kinda cool. Problem is that it would require everyone to have a projector. They could also just look at the table through their phone I guess. but imagine doing that for a whole session?

>>1263 I'd love to have a virtual AR/VR tabletop, but the technology would need to be more widely adopted. The Oculus Quest 3 for example can do mixed reality using their pretty good colored cameras for example, so we can very easily do that stuff today. The main issue is that not everybody has or wants to have a Quest 3 or the like.

>>1252 Kinda cool. Might be more interested once they release more info. >>1254 >Is this actually a threat to GW I hope it ends up becoming one. GW needs a solid kick in the ass and a boot to the head to follow it up.

Looks kinda interesting. Not really a fan of gundam though. I wonder if this gets popular that we might get a sirbine mini. I would absolutely pay for that.

>>1256 Goddammit now I got myself all excited about the idea of a dunbine wargame.

New ogre! I am really slow with painting these guys. I really like how this guy ended up. Halfway through I thought it was going to be a bust but nope it turned out pretty well. I especially like how the back turned out.

Kruleboyz! Some guy I play with has trouble with his backlog so I offered to paint a few for him. Not entirely happy with how they turned out. Belt stands out way too much. I think he will like it though.

>>1243 I think I might have fucked up. I looked at the model last week and it didn't have any brown on the leather. what the fuck? It is there on the picture. Except if I look on my phone the leather is black, unpainted. Did the speed paint evaporate or something? Did I thin it out too much? but then it does actually look brown if I look at the pictures here.

>>825 Dwarves aren't human either.

>>1242 Yeah but dwarves are cool.

>>1245 Dwarves are cool, unlike fuckdamn elves.

Destroy All Monsters style of campaign Make everyone huge and let them fuck shit up The enemies? Also huge Beat that giant with half a building, throw the monsterpede into a lake, stomp through the dumb enemies barrier, just go wild

Here's an idea: Try being original instead of copying copies of dungeons and dragons.

I've been kicking around one. Basically it's a tabletop version of Invader Zim, Destroy All Humans, and X-COM where you specifically play as alien invaders. The alien threat should most likely be a confederation of different alien races so the players have a lot of options for what to play, but some species would be naturally prone to animosity or better suited to all the same race. This would depend very heavily on session 0 play style to familiarize players with their options and the mechanics. Obviously something more like a xenomorph would be a lot harder to pull off and should have more specialized dice rolls for their character to succumb to instinct. Others could be grays, whose objectives would focus heavily on abductions and study. You really could mine quite a lot of pop scifi for player types and objectives. I would draw the line at lovecraftian entities simply because they're too powerful. I would however save that for NPC alien threats. Because I would also have modules structured around rival alien factions with different invasion methods and even more hostile attitudes, possibly even ones with active human collaborators. The emphasis should be on stealth, and the gameplay very objective-based. Humanity is very much a Humanity Fuck Yeah caliber of enemy mixed with some comic stupidity. The players should be an outlying force relative to their alien affiliation, possibly they crashed by accident, maybe they're the seed invaders meant to gather intelligence, but they shouldn't be the armada or mothership. Effectively blending in or hiding out would be critical to achieving their objectives. Players might get lucky on not being discovered but rest assured once it happens they will not hesitate to escalate the conflict from rednecks all the way up to MIBs if players get careless. This would also be some of the fun, I think some PARANOIA-flavor could be added in where the players are to some degree being set up to fail or get caught, and have to do damage control while attempting to bail on their mission. Actually, it would make a lot of sense for the setup to be that the players crashed their vessel and have to work towards being evacuated from earth undiscovered. Honestly the more I think about it the more scenarios and angles I see possible. There could be peaceable aliens the players could be, and the campaign would focus on establishing contact with the CORRECT type of humans, and dealing with the politics of that, or even having to fight off an invasion from another collection of aliens.

>>318 Where should i start to learn about the lore of fantasy and 40k? I rather books and not videos or audiobooks

>>1207 In what way they are watering it down ?

>>1235 The new brettonnia novel proudly features a female pegasus rider on the cover. Despite the fact that in lore women aren't allowed to be knights. It does have a line about 1/10000 knights SECRETLY being a woman but the keyword here is SECRETLY. The new one just has her being a knight openly. >>1234 If you want books then what you want is Gotrek and Felix. A fantastic series of books that really shows you what a terrible place the warhammer fantasy world is. It also gives you the basics on the empire, taxes, dwarfs, slayers and how the forests are just filled with beastmen and mutants.

Also look at my Latest ogre! Not the best job I have ever done but it isn't my worst.

Had my first game of Vanguard today! >Ogres played by me. >Undead played by some guy in my group. Both of us are new to the game obviously. But I have significantly more wargaming experience in general so I won. I also didn't bring the rulebook with me so we just relied on my memory for rules. Kind of a shitty thing for me to do, Didn't remember any of the special rules for his faction. In my defense though I did tell him about the special rules that I did know about like crushing strength and piercing. Final score was 15 for me and 6 for the other guy. I for one quite enjoyed playing the game. It was a bit slower than something like grimdark future but it was still quite fun. Probably would have been more fun if I had actually used the extra special actions that the power dice are supposed to give you. But I couldn't remember all of those. Going to have to bring the rulebook with me next time. Should probably read the rules again as well just to be safe.

>>1018 Lmao.

>>1018 Poor priest might end up as the next John after that experience

A decent group to play online that doesn't consist of the alphabet crew. Just simple playing a campaign with like minded fellows. Just started playing with friends and family but time constraints scheduling conflicts don't allow us to play as often as we'd like.

>>879 Its very simple, Just have 3 > signs followed by /board/ and then the post number. For example. >>>/v/841008

Any of you fellers still looking for a player? Yeah it's been a while but still oughta ask. >What am I looking for? A game with steady schedules >Deal breaker Rainbow shit, obnoxious teens, games during work hours

Considering how much they charge for plastic crack already, and in the face of increasingly more commonplace 3D printing, this seems like a bad idea. While they are obviously trying to protect their bottom line they've already burned a lot of the faith their customer base has in them and even people who might argue that more recent changes to things like lore and whatnot are subjectively good or bad no body can argue a price hike is not objectively worse. Considering the price increase in your area is likely double or more what other regions are seeing Faggot OP do you have an idea of where you could import from to defray some of the additional cost? Also, we should probably have a News thread to congregate things like this and WoTC hiring pinkertons under.

>>1190 Well thankfully for me I don't buy GW anymore. Worst case scenario this will just make the secondary/used market slightly more expensive for me. As for a news thread, I don't want to have one. Considering how small the board is I am not really seeing a reason not to just make a new thread for any and all news. If this place somehow gets big again then we could make a single news thread but not yet.

3D printing/mold creation and re-use will hopefully help against this as time goes on

>>1098 It was the bitterness of being bald and ugly that made him turn evil. Many such cases.

I just wanna say on this dead board that 30k White Scars rule

>>1203 do they even have negative traits ? They are a bit too perfect for me, and no being insular isn't one. I like the 30k dark angels : competent, chad Corswain and Lion, have their own arcs. Too bad the authors had to give the NL plot armor to keep them out of the heresy

>>1031 Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency lasted until 1936, fifteen years after several of their goons assassinated a county sheriff in West Virginia who tried to arrest them for a drive-by shooting they'd just done on some uppity striking coal miners. Seriously. Look up the name "Smilin' Sid Hatfield."

>>1157 I'm honestly afraid to. My faith in humanity is already dangerously low.

you sure do make a good use of your 2nd amendment
