Do you think Warhammer Total War is going to revive interest in regular Warhammer Fantasy?
Also(and if so), don't you think its going to be confusing to newcomers, who decide that they want to start the table top, and instead of finding Warhammer Fanntasy, they instead find generic space fantasy knight shit rather then the History inspired Empires of the Old World
Nice oversight on Geedubya there

No, it won't restore it.
GW has decided to shit on your fat neckbeard feelings and aim for the dosh of young teens and their unwitting parents.
>>47398551
All the young teens I know are far more interested in 40k
Not sure why GW thought the he-man aesthetic would appeal to...any demographic.
>>47398459
nah it won't help the tabletop game at all. it will just create an interest in warhammer themed video games.

This quest, as the title suggests, takes place in the world of Dragon Ball. You're playing as a twelve year old boy named Tofoo, and will adventure through the story of the Dragonball series alongside characters such as Goku, Yamcha, Bulma, Tien, and many others. Through your actions,...

This is going to tire you out a bit, but it's worth it if it means getting the Dragonballs from this nitwit.
"Ka....me...." you start, cupping your hands and holding them toward the wall.
"You say something, kid?" Pilaf asks from the other side.
"Ha....me....." you continue, bringing your hands to your side.
"What was that?" he asks. "You're going to have to speak up."
"HA!"

WHICH IS THE BETTER SKINWALKER FOR MARTIALING HARD, CROC OR SHARK?
So since I got brought up last thread, I might as well repost something I tossed out to get opinions on a month or so ago... But got no feedback on. So fuck me up and rip it apart.
An attempt to make an alternative to the Promethean Alchemist's Homunculus:

Shark, since Croc will hurt your Will Saves. Personally, I prefer Wolf
It seems that insecurities of gamers have come full circle, to the point that they lash out at things that hit that special uncanny valley zone of being cool while also appealing too much demographics they're afraid associate with.
Themes of death, darkness, tragedy, and the orient - All these things have been practically branded taboo, and if someone brings them up they're accused of being a weeaboo or an edgy teenager. How strange is it really to play a dark, bloodthirsty character in a story which will most likely revolve around constant killing? How strange...

As for edginess.... All that talk makes me want to write up some fuckin serial killer ninja-samurai-viking named "Death" who wears all black clothes and a bloody skull over his face under a tattered fedora while flamboyantly cutting his way through his enemies and innocents alike with fuckin dual katanas, all to avenge the death of his parents. He'll recite a relevant haiku each time he drops someone.
And you know what? I don't watch anime, I don't have emotional issues, I'm mature, intelligent, passive, and I have both a good self esteem and an outside social life. I just like fantasy. All of it. There are no lengths of cheesiness that I won't go because at the end of the day I'm not doing this to escape, I'm doing it for fun. I like myself and I like my life. I like theatrics and I like cliches. I like to act out characters and I like to weave a unique story with other people. And sometimes part of me too enjoys nerds on the internet rip each other apart in a lame effort to distinguish themselves as ever so slightly cooler, but for the most part I find it tiring and unecessary. I just beg of you to reserve your disdain for people who actually learn it with shitty behavior rather than tastes that you don't agree with. And be more honest with yourself. You know you like katanas. You know like the edgy backstories. Just do it, no one's judging you except some irritable, anonymous strangers.
The difference between edgy and dark is like the difference between bathos and pathos. Until you're capable of recognizing it, it's time to put away the katana before you cut yourself.

Edgy is a meme.
I recently finished Ringworld and I can't get it out of my head how perfect it would be for a fantasy setting.
>an endless world full of countless stories
>countless homid races that range from humans to giants to dwarves and halflings to eleves...
>high tech artifacts that everyone regards as magic
>alien monsters to slay
I've been wanting to use a Ringworld for my setting too, although probably sci-fi over fantasy. I'd make my own stuff for the Ringworld's inhabitants, but definitely base the construct itself on Niven's ideas.
>>47406087
That's what I was thinking.
I have this habit of coming up with science fiction rationalizations of every fantasy setting I immerse myself. The countless races of hominid in Niven's Ringworld setting is particularly interesting for explaining many fantasy-esque races evolving alongside one another.
I don't know how casted magic would work aside from maybe nanomachines or machinery that only reacts to specific genes.
>>47405967
Most campaigns never really go far enough to have their maps anything bigger then maybe Europe and Asia at the most.
The idea of the world forever arching skywards would be little more then window dressing really. That is unless this actually became important, plot wise.
I've played a campaign based in a craft that was pulling four Dyson spheres once.

Yet I think calvinball should be more effective.
We all know that medieval clothing was colorful as fuck. This begs the question, 'why do all the nobles in all the medieval movies/tv shows wear dirt shit brown?' The simplest answer in my mind is that dirt shit brown is gritty and cool.
Now neither I, nor movie producers could give a flying fuck if you think dirt shit brown is gritty and cool, but knowing that producers and executives think that way, How do we make color gritty and cool in fantasy?
Getting red back in could be a first step, but what's next? Maybe purple
>>47424452
"Gritty" has lost all meaning, like, two GoT seasons ago. Now people use it as "things i think are good". It's a buzzword.
>>47424572
You have a point, however my question still stands. How do we make color cool enough for fantasy?

Third for getting all RxS ships out of drh 1.
Thread starter question: What do you consider an ideal starting level for players who are experienced and comfortable with 4e?
If you are GMing, remember...
1. To strongly consider giving out at least one free "tax feat," like Expertise and pre-errata Melee Training.
2. To use Monster Manual 3/Monster Vault/Monster Vault: Nentir Vale/Dark Sun Creature Catalog math. Avoid or manually update anything with Monster Manual 1 or 2 math.
3. That skill challenges have always been scene-framing devices for the GM, that players should never be overtly told that they are in a skill challenge, and that the Rules Compendium has the most up-to-date skill DCs and skill challenge rules.
If you would like assistance with character optimization, remember to tell us what the what the rest of the players are playing, what books are allowed, your starting level, the highest level you expect to reach, what free feats you receive, if anything is banned, whether or not themes are allowed, your starting equipment, and how much you dislike item-dependent builds.
If you wish to talk about settings, 4e's settings are Points of Light (the planes and the natural world's past empires are heavily detailed in various sourcebooks and magazines), 4e Forgotten Realms, 4e Eberron, 4e Dark Sun, and whatever setting you would like to bring into 4e.

>What to expect, I only heard that battles are long and boring as fuck.
Only when the players aren't on the ball.
When it's not your turn, pay attention and think about what you are going to do on your turn.
When your turn comes up, don't sit there indecisively hemming and hawing and complaining about analysis paralysis or 'too many options.' Just fucking do something.

As long as your group is using the fixed monster math, it should be fine. Just make sure your GM is using the M&M3 monsters and the recommended adjustments there- Pic related.
4e doesn't really have a tier list. Almost all the classes are completely functional, with a few unfortunate exceptions. Essentials classes are boring as fuck, Vampire and Assassin were released in a borked state and never fixed, and the Seeker psionic class is unfortunately underwhelming. Beyond that, you're good...

So, Why don't we have tiger tanks in 40k?
>>47421623
Because tigers are so heavily armored and have such extreme range that it would trump anything in the 40k universe easily.
>>47421644
Pretty sure that even if we go by GW's retarded numbers, the Tiger doesn't stack up. Nothing does, really, until you get to tamks with composite armor.
>>47421725
Baneblades have worse armor than a T-55 if I remember correctly. GW numbers are several types of retarded.

Why should the god of fire be evil? Fire is freedom from the terrors of Disease, Cold, and Darkness.
Anyone who cooks or survives the winter probably wouldn't think of fire as entirely evil
