You are Jareth, Disciple of Elshhu and savior of the Great City. Savior of part of it anyway, more due to good luck than anything else. Hopefully you can go a good long time without having to deal with any greater demons, you certainly aren't eager to risk your life banking on feelings of gratitude next time.
Still, that's yesterday, this is today. You're still alive, you're owed a binding favor by Grulax, you earned several times over what you were owed for the job to buy your silence, and you even got to put a wayward amateur infernalist onto a proper...

It's a warm morning in the Great City, the bustle of guild traffic echoing up through the shutters even in this out of the way street. You stretch with a groan, amusing yourself watching what you have decided to dub Valia's panic dance. It involves the flustered sorceress attempting to move in a half dozen directions at once as her brain works itself into a frenzy of conflicting priorities, all without actually managing to achieve anything.
“You doing okay there?” you ask at last, as Valia makes...

“Should have brought a bloody overcoat, shouldn't I?” Elliot mutters as you both trek through the heavy snow, melting flakes leaving dark splotches on the houndstooth print of his suit. He's been talking like this, chatting aimlessly and pointlessly, since the fight. A coping method, perhaps, from someone who's unused to such violence. Or, although this is...

Stomping onwards, you rub your eye as a sudden stinging pain flashes through it. Just a twinge of pain, nothing really, but it's enough to fill your eye with tears. You swipe them away with a callous flick of your fingers and press on, but it's not long before another lance of pain hits you. This one causes you to stumble as the world around you shifts, growing flat and somehow lifeless. You could be staring at a damn oil painting, for all you know. Then, as you're clutching a hand to your aching...

Figuring out this eye thing is more important than whatever Elliot's hiding. For now. I assume will have more chances to use Dominion's eye on him.

What can you tell me about this system, /tg/? Does it do justice to the concept it promises? My group and I are fascinated by the thought of playing as ourselves during an apocalypse, but I thought I'd check here before acquiring it. I know it's fairly new, but I'm hoping someone here has played it and can give their opinion on it.

It's really, really not good. It tries to sell itself on the gimmick of playing yourself and your friends during the apocalypse, but in practice there's very little in it to help with it. Character creation is (over) simplistic, but it still ultimately runs on a perfectly standard pool of points to ensure that everyone is equally capable (yes, there's a voting phase in which the players all agree on whether or not to raise or lower the attributes of their fellow ones BUT you get a point back/lose a point if they decide to lower/raise it so effectively you're still balanced). You cannot have the game balance cake and the real simulation cake. If you are a fat neckbeard whose greatest skill is rote memory of the rules of D&D 3.5th edition and your pal is a fit, coolheaded ex-Ranger who's won medals in Afghanistan, than in a real situation YOU WOULDN'T BE BALANCED. They even invalidate whether or not each player is "prepared" for the apocalypse in real life because the rules are the characters/players start with "what they have around, right now at this moment" (yes, the assumption is that the apocalypse literally starts the moment you sit down to play The End of the World RPG. There's even a funny little rule that says the GM has to be the first one to die, to save him the trouble of playing himself.), so what gear you'd get depends entirely on whether or not the player hosting the game is currently keeping shotguns around his pizza tables, not on whether Colonel McBadass has an entire arsenal at home (unless he's the type who always carries around his bug-out-bag).
So it completely fails to do that. The mechanics themselves are very uninspired, lots of descriptive, freeform advantages and disadvantages that add dice to your pool (so depending on whether or not you're playing with assholes it's either insanely gameable or just boring). It doesn't run fast enough to really flow, but far too simplistic to be a simulation.

The "Stress" mechanics are pants-on-head, managing to somehow be both a poor representation of the genre, unrealistic, and wonky (in the sense that poor rolling could lead to bizarre situations where characters rip through a horde of monsters with a toothpick while only spraining their ankle near the end, but then stumble on a pebble and break their necks - and not even the grimmest of apocalyptic stories are these stupid about applying character death. It's supposed to be either dramatic or tell something...

Wouldn't it be super easy for Nurgle to wipe out the Tyranid? They intake all biological matter so it would be simple to sabotage a whole fleet. And Nurgle always has another disease waiting to be used so it's unlikely they would be able to adapt it away. If they were able to do so that would be a huge threat and I imagine that Nurgle would send out more of his strength to counter them.
Thoughts?

Nids are so good at biology that Nurgle's shit is only a minor issue for them.
Also, Shadow in the Warp fucks over daemons just as it fucks over psykers too. Daemons can't draw sustenance from the Nids, and the shadow makes it hard for Daemons to manifest.
>>43621391
The Hive Mind blots out Chaos in areas where many Tyranids are concentrated, so Nurgle's diseases would lose their Warp-based effects and be reduced to simple biology.
Additionally, the Tyranids are the logical extreme of the practice of evolution, which is Change. Thus, Nurgle's sphere is opposed to them and his power is weakened by needing to work uphill, in a sense.
Additionally, the Hive Mind understands at some level the detrimental effects of Chaos, and as a result Tyranid fleets tend...

Why is art for every single ccg/lcg so shit? Shouldn't they be hiring one good artist to do a wholesome experience? Like Tarot?
I recently thumbed through my Malkavian deck and it's horrid. It's an accurate reflection of playerbase' sensibilities, right?

It would take a long, long time to do that an keep quality up.
Take Feng Zhu for instance - dude does speedpainting for living, basically. It still takes him 8~ hours to bring a painting to completion, so you figure 1 image a day, five days a week, right? Wrong, process doesn't work like that. Client tells the artist what they want, then the artist sends back sketches, does any research...

But the effort could make it worthwhile given no one else does it. Or get several artists and an overseer.

>Or get several artists and an overseer.
That's basically what they do. The Art Director oversees the work of a bunch of freelancers. As I said before, the people in charge just don't care beyond a certain point - "good enough."
In-house artists would allow for more control and for the AD to push for greater quality, but that's more expensive and the returns aren't going to seem worth it to executives. They'll push for "good enough,"...

So are Dreadnoughts going the way of Tau battlesuits now?

in what way?

This is an improvement in my opinion; in the past I always thought their legs were too short.

This looks better than a regular dreadnaught.
