We're finalizing character sheets for a new 4e campaign tomorrow. I only have minor experience playing D&D before, and it was years ago using 3.5. We will have 4 people and I am filling the striker role.
My prospective character is a re-flavored blackguard paladin. I've played him in a couple test combat encounters and he does a fine job. Only thing is I'd love to be able to do something that wasn't furious strike every turn. Blackguards seem to get very little in the way of skill versatility. Is there some other class that would thematically fit...

Blackguard is an essentials class, so I can't help you there...
>Anyone else playing 4e?
Have played, continue to play occasionally.Well, run. Forever DM.
>What are your experiences?
Mixed, mostly due to the groups. My first 4e campaign was shit because 1. We had a huge group, 2. Half of them either didn't show up or didn't participate any given week, 3. There was one asshole that was sucking the DM's dick for...

>charismatic, greatsword wielding holy striker
Outside of Blackguards (which suck) 4e can give you three of those four things at a time (with one exception).
>Charismatic + greatsword-wielding + holy - striker
ordinary Paladin
>Charismatic + greatsword wielding - holy + striker
thaneborn barbarian, eldritch strike charisma-warlock

Wouldn't the warlock be Charismatic - greatsword wielding + holy + striker?
And why is it your favorite? A friend of mine and I are interested in large scale fantasy battles and would like to try Warhammer.
From what I understand:
1-2ed is them hammering out the rules concerning a large amount of minis.
3rd edition edition places high importance on maneuvering with complex movement rules
4-5th edition have extremely powerful heroes which outweigh the importance of army units
6th edition nerfed heroes
7-8th edition placed a great deal of importance on battlefield magic
I enjoy the idea of tactical maneuvering of mass troops...

3rd was current when I started, and I've played every edition since. Though I don't think 8th is that bad if you've got a good gaming group (that won't force an arms race of min/maxing), my all-time favorite is 6th. I feel that GW made change for change's sake (and to push edition sales) even though they had very little to improve on.

What makes 6th your favorite?
>>44635898
I play it unironically, have fun, and it's my favorite edition. Bring on the hate.

Interview with Rick Priestley (creator of Warhammer and 40k.)
>Before he ever joined Games Workshop, Rick Priestley had developed a science fiction game.
>“It was called Rogue Trader,” he said.
>“It was a ship-based game, and I’d created a range of models to go with it. And even though I’d joined Games Workshop to answer the phone and put toy soldiers into cardboard...

Another interview. This time with Ian Livingstone (the founder of Games Workshop.)
>>44620535
>“We were desperate not to let Gygax know that we were running the company from our flat,” Livingstone said.
>“But what we didn’t know at the time was that he was publishing Dungeons & Dragons from his flat as well. Both parties were assuming that the other was some big-time operation, but it was very much a fledgling industry at the time.”
Based Priestly telling it like it is.

Hey /tg/
There is no Civ General
Seems to be a lot of them popping up now days. Some of them are even pretty good.
Feel free to discuss and share civs.
Personally I'm looking forward to the continuation of Machine Civ and Lizardfolk Civ.
>>44593284
/pol/ seems to be seeing an upsurge in civ threads, I think some of the interest may be from there?
>>44593381
Really?
Thats odd.
I guess they like to act out their fantasy worlds.
Personally I always like to play a mad scientist in civs.
>>44593494
Well, its not hard to guess who the heroes and villians are in a /pol/ civ thread, lets just say that black-race tribes don't last long.
