In a hypothetical match up between these two, which unit would be curb stomped the most?
>>44736563
Probaly the munitorium since two large very famous gaurd regiments are fighting each other and not hereitcs

The Death Korps would get smashed.
Mechanized infantry styles on trenches, and it's not like the Steel Legion isn't practiced against hordes of bum-rushing suicide fanatics.

Welcome to Adventure Thing Quest! A quest thing in a slight tabletop fashioned after basic dnd. Make a decision based on a situation and roll a 1d100 to establish priority. Last time for the pilot of said quest, Adamar, a young elf prisoner escaped after a chaotic raid. To protect his skin he dawned a dead guard's leather armor, and ran into reinforcements outside of the prison who came to investigate.
Here's our stats:
Level 1
Strength 5
Dex 10
Const 7
Int: 12
Wis 14
Cha 9
AC: 8
Weapon: Club
"Adamar? Definitely an elven name...damn you and your complicated and different names. Only your first name?...Whatever is the case, I'm sure you're the only one with that name. We don't get that many elves around here, in fact you're probably the first elf we hired in months.
"Since you're new here's the rundown. Elves around here are troublemakers, don't you be one of them. They're known for selling magic illegally. Magic around here is illegal in this county without a permit, hence why we still have people who wish to practice magic in the privacy of their own homes. We actually had an elf just sent here if I recall...for whatever reason I don't know. Anyway get yourself some rest, go to the town south and tell them Manuel Narger sent you. You'll get access to living quarters."
You are now free from the dungeon, and are free to do whatever. A notable destination is to the south in the town. East and west house planes and a thickening forest respectively. To the south...seems to be nothing.
>Where to, elf?
>>44735935
To the East!
>>44737115
You go east! The captain behind you remarks of something, but you can't quite hear it as you walk past him. With your weapon at your belt, and wearing some spiffy armor, you're off to the races! You are indeed quite frail, so combat needless to say will be tough, but for someone such as yourself who was able to best his way out of a prison at the very least stand a chance.
The plains are wide yet, nothing can be heard but your own footsteps and the occasional wind gust. It is midday, the sun at...

Are you just triggered by the word "kin" or something?

I tell you whut boobi, I'll punch ya right in da gabba.

Why can't they just be full Lycans?

Stop. Stop, just stop. Befucking creative or at least use SOMETHING original.
1/100 reminds me of my autistic room mate.
What's the most expensive, physical, /tg/-related item you own?
Pic related is mine.
>>44735715
Bunch of Dwarven Forge stuff that I've barely even used because they're a pain to set up and are only useful for dungeon crawls. I still enjoy the feeling of owning them though.
Friend of mine bought a non-kickstarted copy of Kingdom Death Monster, which is worth more than every other /tg/-related items I own combined.

Have you ever thought that maybe you're the problem?

i'll just pretend this isn't simple autismbait for a while
>there is nothing you can do about it
if you think of them as friends, what's stopping you from talking to them about it
or, you could just recognize you are too different in tastes/humor to hang with them anymore and leave them be
then again, this must be bait, so whatever, i bit. happy?

>The party is sent to handle a hostage situation.
>Somehow, by the time they get to the location, it has gotten to the point where everyone, even the civilians in the building has taken someone else hostage by gun or knife point.
>In other words, pretty much everyone is holding one or the other hostage to the point where the party has trouble telling who's supposed the terrorist anymore.
How should the party handle the situation?
Burn the building down.

Sup /tg/, one of my players has recently been bitten by a vampire and the party is going to cure him, I have stuck in a plot device that lets him treat the symptoms for X amount of weeks and I need some interesting ingredients for the party to obtain to make the potion. The more strange, wonderful and bloody awkward to obtain the better.
Cheers
The vampire's left sock, filled with river stones.
Orphan tears is always a good one. Goat bile is another one.

What about bile from a orphan goat?
Would you rather have
>generic weapons within an array of single, very specific and varied groups (i.e. 5 different types of swords with their own separate categories, or at least the group "swords")
>more mechanically special/unique weapons within wider groups (unique weapons that are considered to be part of a group like Light Melee regardless of actual weapon type)
>build-your-own-weapon type deal where everything is not only unclassified, but also can be potentially...

bit of one, bit of two - mostly a group of a few main variants, and one or two special/unique ones that have very different styles.
>>44733891
Second one. I like weapons with thought and history behind them.

Sup /tg/!
I've often thought that, if properly handled, the introduction of modern technology into a fantasy setting could be rather fun to play through and as a destabilising influence, it's not something that can easily be solved by simply stabbing it in the face.
Has anyone here successfully incorporated more modern technology into a fantasy campaign?
What are some fictional settings that manage to mix modern technology and fantasy well?
Hell's gate is an obvious example, except there are no traditional fantasy races.

I imagine Elves would be fantastic riflemen.

I hope that's not too one-sided
Can i get two players to take sides or will i have to play against myself? first come first served basis.
Roll d100 for your luck when you pick a side for the first engagement and then decide on one of the following actions:
Advance - task force advances forward trying to minimise casualties and gain ground.
Assault - task force charges forward trying to break enemy resistance and inflict greater casualties. If possible, they will attempt to engage them in melee.
Skirmish - task force engages enemy in ranged combat without trying to push them....

Some years ago a friend of mine DMed a semi serious campaign in which all the city guards were always black. The reason of this was because according to his words since they are black if we commit a crime no matter how far or fast we run they will be always able to catch us. At first we all thought that it was pretty funny but now...I'm starting to consider it racist. What do y'all think about it?
>image not related.
>>44731661
I think you need to chill
>>44731661
That is sorta racist. Not to mention kinda stupid too.
>>44731661
If you're bothered by this I recommend you fuck off back right to tumblr
>>44731694
You too
