I was reading some old WDs, and this one hit me.
There are guides for building and playing with dangerous plants for death worlds.
This was 40k once.
To create stuff and have fun with stories and scenarios, not just to buy and win.
I wanted to share them with you, some of you may enjoy the spirit like i do.
Do you think are still usable?

What's Guild Ball?
Short answer: The best game you haven't played
Slightly longer answer: Medieval mob ball crossed with gladiator combat from the coliseum.
Long Answer: Guild Ball is a table top skirmish game for a fantasy sport. You win by reaching a set amount of points before your opponent, which are gained by taking out his
team, scoring goals, or a mix of the two. Playing Football or focusing entirely on combat are equally viable ways to win.
Teams represent one of the various trade guilds, currently there are 8 playable guilds with more being released next year. Guild ball is simple to pick up but hard to master.
Teams are composed of six models, fielding a team for a full sized game costs <$100 USD.
Rules and templates for proxy models are available for free http://guildball.com/#downloads
Abridged Lore:
> Stupid humans are stupid humans and start fighting amongst themselves. Conflicts continue and escalate, strings of wars break out across the entire continent that become
known as the Century War
> Century War is fucking ruining everything. The various trade guilds realise this is ultimately going to do nothing but bankrupt them and leave all their customers dead.
> Guilds unite behind the political scenes and simultaneously lean on all the weakened countries to eventually broker a peace.
> Realising that humans are fucking stupid ass animals, if they don't give them something to channel their aggression and nationalistic pride into the peace will be shortlived
and the wars will resume.
> Guilds nationalise mob football, a popular peasant game in every country, as Guild Ball. Guild Ball essentially becomes Europe's The Premier League + Roman Gladiator
fighting.
> Guild ball is keeping the peace but also making the guilds a fuckload of money.a

In our last thread Anon was being raped by the Fishermen's Guild.
Despite being a disgusting Mortician's player he requires assistance. Please lend him your advice for dealing with the speedy rapist sailors.
Remember first hearing about this on Meeples and Miniatures. Glad to see it's survived this long, and reading over the most recent rules it seems they've got a cool thing going on. I just hope constant expansion and/or attracting WAAC faggotry doesn't hurt the game eventually.

If you're kicking, accept the fact that Fishers are going to score on you early in turn 2 at the absolute latest, and use it as an opportunity to get easy kills.
If you're receiving, FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK kick the ball backwards as soon as you touch it, don't leave it near midfield for your ball carrier to get Lured/Seduced/Harpooned/Chain Grabbed/Shark'd
/tg/ let's talk about Perception, and why it's bothersome. In most tabletop rpgs, characters tend to have the option to put skill ranks/dots/experience/what-have-you into a "Perception" skill. Or listen/spot/search, or whatever.
Why is this a thing?
Try as I might, I genuinely cannot find a good enough abstraction or reason to justify how a character can "get better at spotting or finding things" through leveling up and experience gain.
Perception, as a whole, is based off of a character's senses, typically eyesight, but hearing and smell too. How does your senses get better through character advancement? If I don't have points in perception does that mean I'm nearsighted and need glasses? If I do put points into it, does my vision just magically clear up to the point where I don't need glasses?
Perception is usually presented as a skill alongside things like climbing, crafting, survival, etc. All things that can reasonably improve. You spend time and effort climbing or making items, then in due time, you'll get better and better at it, right? But your eyes are, well, your eyes. How do you train that? How do you "get better" at spotting things like ambushes, hidden caches, etc.?
Let's discuss, /tg/.

It's one thing to see or hear something, another entirely to notice something.
Whenever I go hunting with my dad, he notices things far easier than I do. Whether it's something moving, animal tracks, or whatever else. He's spent more time hunting and being out in the woods than I have, so he's significantly better at noticing that kind of thing.

Okay anon, here's a personal anecdote.
I remember thinking I was top shit and could take any fucker just because I was a gym junkie and could bench/dead/OHP/squat good numbers. I decided to take up a martial arts and by the end of the first week I realised just how outclassed I was. Not just in fighting, but noticing and understanding cues. It's one thing to watch and see, it's another to notice and understand. This became even more obvious with my job as a safety site advisor. Between martial...

as much as i hate you for that up the int and charisma and its probably about right.
-10 HP
>Standard D&D setting
>Evil Dragon God enters the Realm
>Chromatic Dragons get buffed to silly levels, Dragon cultists get insane powers and every evil-, chromatic-worshipping dragonkin is oozing and dripping with draconic might
How does this change the setting within, say, 10 years? What is reign of evil dragons like?
>How does this change the setting
It becomes a clusterfuck of evil dragons vying for power
