What are non-traditional/not big compnai3es you buy models from? How did you hear of them? I remember when I first found out about Mantic from /tg/ and I was so hype to learn they came out with rules for their minis. What companies do you enjoy and why?
Right here are some good catachan analogues, but a little expensive.

In television and film we have the great ability to watch things from an outsider perspective, which allows the viewer to watch the bad guy do his bad thing, have character development, and have cool scenes where the main characters aren't directly involved. Take No County For Old Men for example. What if the only time we saw the antagonist was when he was seen by a main character? He wouldn't be nearly as interesting.
Anyways, the way this is /tg/ related is I want to know how the best way to use this narrative style is in tabletop? What is the best way to build anew antagonistic character, when the players can only see the antagonist when they are around?

I usually write out short stories and then pass them around to the players if they are interested. Sometimes it's something the player knows and the character doesn't, but usually I try to find an excuse for the story to reach their character in-universe too. Either by a video recording or something like that.
>>47308209
OP here I used to do that, but turns out I'm not a very good writer. How long were your short stories? Mine were like 4 pgs
>>47308249
It varied. If I just wanted to write out a brief meeting between two characters it might only be a few pages. If it was something more dramatic or drawn-out it might be closer to twenty or thirty pages. I tried to keep it as short as possible since I didn't want to pressure my players into reading a book. They seemed to really enjoy it, though.
In your setting, what happens when an impossible even occurs?
What happens when:
>An unstoppable force meets an immovable object
>God makes a rock so heavy he can't lift it
>etc.
>>47307979
If we're talking The Elder Scrolls, you either figure that shit out or you realize you're impossible and that the universe has no underlying order or natural state and disappear due to apathy.
In my own, there aren't true absolutes like Immovable, Unstoppable, Omnipotent, and the like outside of the theoretical, and all beings or forces have limits, though some of them may be beyond the physical. Being or forces claiming such titles do so mostly out of vanity, and while their power may be...

Reality is breached in that area, and the chaos between realities leaks in, causing mutation, psychosis, monsters, suffering, and other phenomena.
Too many breaches could cause one of two outcomes:
>One of the infinitely vast Elder Gods drifting between realities takes notice of the reality in question, dooming it.
>The boundary of the reality is strained beyond its limit and breaks, thrusting the entire reality into the space between realities,...

"Hey Jack."
"Mm?"
"Didn't I say that Charlotte was going to off that guy by sunrise?"
"Mm."
"So." Atsuko taps on the shotglass in front of her, "Why are you still here?"
You wish she wouldn't prod you. You said you would get to it, and you still have every intention to do so.
It's just drinking comes first, that's just a rule for you.
You are Jack Albator, champion drinker, expert interrogator, and you're going to put both of those skills to the test coming...

How do you do kings and queens?
Are monarchs justified in your setting or do you show it for the antiquated political system it is?
>>47307862
>>47307862
The land of Atmos is ruled by the empress Apollonie of the Sun cult. 100 years ago, she drove off the goblins invasion and united the three race and three regions (North for Elf, Middle for Dwarfs and South for humans).
As a lot of cities and political places has been destroyed by the goblins, she decided to choose her own for each sub-region, based first on merit, but also wealth and popularity.
In some places, those people would simply be...

are you a fellow french rpg payer ?
>>47307862
Some monarchies are effective and some are not. It depends on who the monarch is and how corrupt their society has become.
The poorest worst-off nation in the setting is a monarchy, but one of the wealthiest most-advanced lands is also one.
Hello /tg I hope the night finds you all well.
heres whats on my mind, I've been a sculptor for four years now, I've gotten to a level where I complete a commission a fortnight or so and I'm making significant progress in fields such as regiment sculpting, multiple poses, large creatures, all sorts of wonderful things really.
Heres the thing I've gotten really good at sculpting tits. I've done a lot of side project along the way sculpting vampirella, or other characters I thought where hot, but they just stayed on my table. I posted them up the other week to a forum and I got a message, someone was asking me to sculpt them a 28mm nun, to be alittle more specific a regiment of bimbo nuns, all tits, blonde hair n guns.
I've really enjoyed the challenge and didn't really have any hang ups about spending hours on a 28mm womans genitals. So heres my question, do you, as the hallowed convergence of /TG'ers around the world think theres a market for this sort of thing? If so, does it already exsist? Do you know of any particularly risky models?
>>47307700
Some examples of your work?
Check out Kingdom Death - yes, there is at least some market
>>47307700
>theres a market for this sort of thing?
Yes. Yes there is. Just stay away from kickstarting it or something because you will get chewed out and ridiculed by SJW tards and a lot of potential backers would be too embarassed to back it.
Your best bet is to go through other channels and self promoting them and selling them on your own. Good luck! Got any examples of your work? I need them for... er... reasons.
>>47307700
Yes, there is a market for it. There's always a market for tits.
Though they're obviously not your target demographic, think about the shit turboweebs buy. There's a market.

How do you keep from feeling silly or getting a minor case of stage fright while RPing your character in front of other people?
I like RPGs but the whole role-playing aspect always feels weird af to me. Is this something I should/could get over?
>>47306093
Roleplay exactly as much as everyone else in your group is.
If people are talking tactics and doing meta-discussions all OOC, do that.
If the wizards are wearing wizzard hats and if the orks are yelling WAAAGH!, do that.
>>47306143
This guy gets it.
Stop being an autistic fuck?
It's not complicated.

New guy to 40k here:
If you were to rate all Ultramarines in terms of being cool dudes, where 10 is Captain Titus, and 0 is Leandros, where would you say the average Ultramarine would be on that number line?
>>47305963
-10
>>47305977
So the average Ultramarine is to Leandros what Leandros is to Titus?

You're late. The Prince 'stat me' thread was weeks ago.
How might I incorporate sort of mech dragons, or weaponed up giant lizards without my players maybe saying "Ugh too animuuu"
>>47305587
>being a Drac
>>47305587
if thats enough to make your players while about anime find new players.
>>47305587
Dragons aren't real. Many years ago, an enterprising mechanical wizard considered this a clear oversight, and decided to fix it. Such was his skill and the ingenuity of his designs that they remain functioning to this day; they hoard gold for repairs and to fund the construction of more dragons. Dragons are now real.
What actions, situations, personalities, etc... make you honestly believe that a character is a good person?
Anyone who thinks you use an ellipse after etc. is not a good person.
>>47305570You bet
He praises others efforts
that's one sign of a good person
The rules are simple, all posts that ends on a 5 adds a mutation, e.g: the spawn has 3 eyes, etc
Let's see what kind of monstrosity we will create!

What ways of increasing immersion do you use on your sessions /tg/? I ussually just stick to descriptions and music/ambience, but when I play something that require good immersion like horror sessions I often use some kind od props or even do a little bit of larping and dressing up, it does miracles. Have you tried any other original methods?
Immersion is a stupid concept. You are not an elf shooting arrows, you're a fab neckbeards playing pretend, acting differently about it makes you autistic.

I suggest
>Turning off / dimming the lights if the PCs are travelling through a forest
>Maps
>The players bringing beer and drinking it when their characters drink beer

Have you ever played in a party that was all or mostly Small size, or even Tiny?
>>47304289
No, because we're all manlets irl and self-inserting is bad sport.
Wouldn't that just make small or tiny the new medium?
>>47304335
There's a difference between a small-sized party and a small-sized world, anon. It's the difference between playing D&D as a bunch of hobbits, and playing Mouse Guard.
