You know what TG Hasn't done in a while?
Fluffed some monsters.
For those of you who don't know what this means or have forgotten/need a refresher: it's pretty simple.
OP or people in the thread posts pictures of monsters ranging from the adorable to the horrific, and OP, or people in the thread give some fluff to the creature presented, No fluffing your own images though.
Rinse and repeat until boredom or autosage. So, who's up for it?

Waxen Howler
These foul beings are Demons under Greed. Designed by and bestowed with accursed powers by the Lord of Wanton desire. These maddened frothing monsters tear through the world with wild abandon. But unlike more common demons of greed, they do not crave flesh or wealth, they thirst and hunger for color.
As such an odd concept as it may be, they do in fact covet color above all else, and their very presence causes the color in all things to seemingly condense, and condensate on the surfaces. The Howler suckles and laps at the chromatic ooze, if not tearing into it with tooth and claw.
The loss of a beings color is extremely adverse. Sentient creatures lose all emotion, or have them suppressed almost entirely, leaving the victim numb to the world. The creature then gallivants off, it's prize taken. Materials are affected more physically, bricks become chalky and weak, plants shrivel, stones crack and wood turns to ash.
Incredibly bright things, gemstones, flowers, ink and paint are consumed wholesale by the monster, riches and things of beauty disappearing into it's gaping maw.
As the creature feeds, more and more blotches and swirls of color begin to emerge on the creatures waxy hide. It said only when a Howler becomes saturated to an obscene degree with collected hues and shades, does it report back to greed himself. What goes on at that point is a mystery. And according to most churches and scholars of the world,
should remain that way.
It's 10:30 at night, I have nothing better to do, and I kinda let this die last time. This will probs end in another thread death but I honestly don't give a shit anymore.
LAST TIME, ON BARDBARIAN QUEST:
-After your clan was attacked and the survivors either taken into slavery or scattered to the winds, you and your totally platonic bro no homo I swear Raiyal, you decided to go after the only clue you have: A mysterious note implying the orcs are heading to Krios.
-You and Raiyal decide to go into the deep woods to enlist the help of the elves.
-Along the way, you ran into Sanction a town that may or may not have been a concentration camp for Kender.
-Having never seen either kender or dwarves, you believe now that kender are in fact dwarves.
-You also kind of sort of committed genocide at Sanction before leaving.
-Now back on the road, you and Raiyal have decided to hunt in order to make pelts and clothing for the coming winter.
-While Raiyal left you behind to set up camp, you were beset by the bloody vision of a tiny creature.
-OP was a massive fag and abandoned quest

You don't put up a fight and instead just wave Raiyal off. You'll be fine by yourself for a few hours. Nodding, Raiyal stalks off into the woods, and after a minute or so, you completely lose all trace of him.
After he leaves, you start doing as promised, gathering some firewood together and starting a simple fire before moving on to unpack your tent. It's a bit difficult to do so by yourself, but the strain keeps you grounded. Before long, you have everything set up just about the way you want it, and you settle in before the fire.
You think about the chain of events that led up to this, and reach into one of your pockets for the orc's tusks you'd been carrying around. Maybe you can make something out of them. Before you can decide what, though, your hands turn up empty. The tusks are missing.
"I don't think the magic worked." You start as a smallish creature appears before you, caked in dried blood.

What is a good way to go about getting into the Warhammer 40,000 universe? I'm unsure if I have the time or finances for model painting, but the lore interests me greatly, what little I've heard of it.
The new rule book comes with a lore primer.
Codices are a good way of learning about each of the armies.
Imperial Armor is good if you want to read historicalesque military campaigns.
Black Library is good for stories.
I just play the video games and read the wikia to be honest. Both are very entertaining to me.
>>43941570
Yeah, wiki surfing was something I did in high school when I was first getting into 40k, since I had an office assistant period where I had nothing to do but sit on the available computer and skim the web, for the most part.
The novels are also a good place to start. Choices that seem to be the least controversial are:
>Gaunt's Ghosts
>Eisenhorn
>Ciaphas Cain
>Space Wolf
>Horus Heresy (first 5~ books, after that the series splits up; there are some guides that recommend which ones are good or part of their own miniseries)

Aw shit son I'm all signed up for this shit, I'm in a roll20 game on Saturdays and trying to get an IRL one going because fuck whatever else I was going to do on weekends, time to make other humans feel sad and small in the cosmos wow that kind of sounds bad when you say it out loud.
Anyway.
I've noticed that the Cthulhu Mythos skill has been replaced with Unnatural. Is that just a symptom of divorcing from CoC? Trail has Mythos as a skill though so it's not like Petersen can claim copyright or whatever over that. Or are they going more towards making their own mythos and just trying to get away from Old Man Squidface?
>>43941125
Unnatural is a sanity track, it informs you how hardened your character is, not how savvy.
Occult should cover Mythos, the distinction is only relevant in the classic 1920s setting. In the world of DG the difference between arcane magic and knowledge about greater beings is slim.

HOW DO YOU ROLL PERCENTILES?
>Dice A
You have 0-9, which is effectively 1-10, right? All numbers are face value and the 0 counts as a ten, right?
>Dice B
00 to 90.
So is it 10, 20, ... 90, 100? What is the 00 supposed to be?
If DA is an 8 and DB is 00, is the number rolled a simple 8?
If DA is 0 and DB is a 90, then what?
What is it's a 0 and a 00?
Can you only roll up to 99? What combination makes a 100?
Someone please explain.
0 and 00 is 100, you dummy. 00 and 1 is 01 which is the lowest you can roll.
I tried to explain this but I think it would be too complex for you.
Good luck breathing, OP. I know it's a struggle.
>>43940109
Dice A determines the ones digit (0-9). Dice B determines the tens digit. Thus a 90 and 0 would be 90, a 40 and 7 would be 47, and a 00 and 6 would be a 6 (the tens digit is a 0).
When you roll 00 and 0 you've rolled 100. You can't roll a 0 on a 1d100, for the same reason that you can't roll a 0 on a d6.
I hope that helps OP.

So what do you think is coming out this week?

Yep, that looks like something I'd expect to have seen in the 80's art. What is it?
>>43939824
It's a Ordinatus, basically the biggest gun the Admech can field.
Compared to the original epic versions it's actually super small.

Can anyone suggest a decent ultralight-rules system? I need something damn near IMMEDIATELY accessible to new folks. This caught my eye, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest something even better?
>>43939702
Lasers and Feelings
>>43939702
Risus is pretty good, if a bit conducive to silliness. I'd argue that while Barbarians of Lemuria isn't ultra light, being a full-length game, from a player's standpoint it is very straightforward.

There's a version of this called something like "Cinematic Style", check it out.

Dropfleet Commander is a 1:15,000 scale orbital wargame developed by Hawk Wargames, creators of Dropzone Commander.
Dropfleet Commander's mechanics include submarine-like "orbital layers" in which ships can move into and out of, as well as a unique weapon range system which is entirely dynamic, and dependent on both the attacking and target ship.

As of now, we are less than 25k British Pounds away from 500k, and if we hit that ALL backers will receive four free frigate sprues, one per faction, each of which contains four frigates.
In addition, all backers are also getting four free cruisers, one per faction, and high rank backers are getting four free frigate sprues, one per faction.
Why would anyone ever buy an ad on 4chan when they can just post for free?

City Sector maker images released today.
Modern Fags, what's keeping Faeries from being a tier one deck?
On theory, bitterblossom is awesomesauce
in reality, it's a t2 play that feels like a timewalk, don't start to generate advantage til turn 3 and slowly kills you. that combined with the fact that faeries don't have lifegain and the fact manabases on modern are painful as fuck, makes the deck an easy prey to burn, affinity, zoo.
>>43938854
Very valid points, but in the decks defense, it has a fairly painless mana base compared to some other decks
>>43938774
you will have to offset that life loss quick

You are Urist Twelfthbay, the moe personification of Dwarf Fortress, and you are a short, sturdy creature fond of drink and industry. Right now, you're grimly keeping your balance on an explosion-propelled space rock that's hurtling through the cluttered hyperdimensional void at cataclysmically unsafe speeds.
Praying to Armok that you won't crash into anything hard enough to turn you all into chunky meat sauce would be futile, since your plan to arrive at your destination does, in fact, involve crashing into it hard enough to turn you all into chunky meat sauce. Heck, the very act of STOPPING your hollowed-out asteroid REQUIRES that you crash into something with enough force to turn you all into chunky meat sauce, while steering to the left or right requires that you detonate one of the munition piles cobbled together on either side of your makeshift vehicle.
And here you are, riding this deathtrap to the nearest stranded adventurer, who's probably just sitting on a floating island not that much larger than your hollowed-out asteroid. You ARE intent on helping her- although now that you think about it, rescue missions normally fail if the rescuers accidentally vaporize their target and her immediate surroundings upon landing.
... see, THIS is why you try to avoid working with people who both agree with your suicidal dwarfy plans AND have the power to make your plans a horrific reality.
Your awed stargazing is rudely interrupted when a fist-sized piece of debris smashes into the 'ground' a few feet away, making you jump.
"Get in cover, idiot!" Tiff roars from somewhere underneath your feet. "We got incoming!"
(Cont.)
By the way, beastmen are playable now in the base game.
There was an update.
>>43938744
Oh don't complain Urist. SCIENCE!!
>>43938744
Another rock nearly takes off your head as you dive down into the hollowed-out asteroid, landing in a main chamber of sorts. Inside, the screwy 'gravity' is strangely stable, unaffected by your high speeds, and there's a twisted sort of normality going on. Doomgirl's got her face up against a hole in the wall, as excited as a car-riding dog faced with an open window, while Tiff continues bashing her Engineer aspect's trademark wrench against the wall, her expression grim.
What immediately grabs your attention is how there's a big gaping hole where the back wall should be, allowing you an unobstructed view of the hyperdimensional void and the madly-whirling stars in the 'sky.' Your summoned dwarves, of course, continue mining out the Seganium like there's nothing strange about this at all.
"We lost a good chunk of the asteroid when the main thrusters went off," the Team Fortress says without preamble (although you can't see how ANYONE could call a haphazard pile of one-time-use explosives "main thrusters" with a straight face), yelling over the roaring winds. "And as if that wasn't enough, we're off-course!"
"Oh FUCK yeah!" Doomgirl roars. "More monsters to play with!"
You scurry over to a hole in the wall and peer out, your blood running cold. A pair of void sharks- pitch-black, blank-eyed, and filled with more teeth than you've got problems- are undulating through the void and gaining on your ride, drawn by the mutilated corpse of one of their own that's still just- sort of sitting on the roof, attracting every predator in the vicinity with the scent of blood.
Crap.
>CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
[ ] [TURN!] Blow one of the explosive piles attached to your ride and spin away from the monsters!
[ ] [FOCUS FIRE!] Wait for them to pull up next to you and fill them with bullets!
[ ] [BOARDING ACTION!] Get closer! You want to hit them with your sword!
[ ] [SHOVE OFF!] If they want food, they can have it- get that corpse off your roof!
[ ] [WRITE-IN]
I feel bad for creating a new thread just to ask this question (especially since it's a pretty newbie one), but I don't know where to ask it, so here it is: is there any other notable wargame beside W40K, Age of Sigmar, and Warmahordes? I didn't find anything on 1d4chan eitherbut I probably didn't search correctly
In contrast to GW's games, I dislike the apparent lack of customisation in Warmahordes (see: your dudes), but I'm sick of GW's settings and aesthetics, and I would like to try something new. Any ideas?Also, unrelated picture
>>43938458
Flames of war,Dystopian Wars,Dystopian legions,Drop Zone commander,Drop fleet commander. Anything else i did not name
>>43938458
Well even if they're GW products, the LOTR and Hobbit games are actually pretty fun.
Infinity is pretty "your dudes", it has really different rules though.
>>43938458
There's that one game you play with Legos? Mobile Frame or something, I think?
Has anyone run a successful campaign based on the Naruto universe? What system did you use?
>>43938109
Yes. Fate.
No. GURPS.
Game fell apart due to two of the five players acting (I hope they were acting) like complete man children over their special snowflake rainbow hair ninjas. The other two besides be and the man children flaked after the first session. I then left after the second session.
>>43938234
Can you tell me more about your campaign? Did you DM? How many players?
