I have a growing army of CSM marines, but I have no idea what to do with them. I don't do tournaments so I'm not asking for how to make CSM 'viable' more that I need to know which supplement I should use if any.
Basically, should I go CSM vanilla, Khorne Daemonkin, black Legion or Crimson Slaughter? How are they different? And what is bettter about them than regular CSM if anything?
>>47135429
khorne daemonkin is the best of the 4, mainly for the daemons and free shit you get for things dying
>>47135429
Black Legion are horrible.
- Forced VotLW means your army is about 10% smaller than it should be. It also directly contradicts the fluff.
- Chosen make horrible Troops. They are defined as an expensive unit of special weapons with high prices and low defenses. They are the absolute last unit you want to have holding objectives.
- Black Legion artefacts are worthless. The only one of any merit is the Nova one. Admittedly the reprint fixes this somewhat by still giving access to the vanilla ones.
- The only Formation worth anything is the Cabal. Take it on it's own without investing in the rest of the superformation.
Legion<Vanilla<Daemonkin<Crimson IMO.
Daemonkin can be summed up as Gorepack, because that's the only formation of any worth in it. They also have no access to any of the Forge World toys because they are not drawn from C:CSM.
Vanilla is now almost literally worthless, with the only reason to use it if you want VotLW on half of your units.
By far, the best way is to run Crimson Slaughter with a few Gorepacks and heavy reliance on IA:13.
'Viable' means minimizing the number of models in Power Armour and bringing your HQ, Cultists and Obliterators from the stock book. Then pad it out with IA:13 units and Gorepacks until satisfied.
Units of note include:
> Fire Raptors
> Rapiers
> Helblades
> Typhon
90% of the book is trash and don't even think about fluffy Legions.
> Bitter disgruntled vet

I feel you, CSM getting consistently reemed by GW can't be good for someone who's been playing them along time. I may be new to the army, but I can already see the harsh treatment it has received desite having some of the most kickass models and fluff ever.
So the Supplement I should get is Crimson slaughter then? Ok, good to know... though I thought VotLW was fluff consistent for BL? Aren't they dedicated to the Imp's destruction above all?
Just wondering, considering how kick ass the legiona has always looked
Is there a good system for playing Spiral Knights as a TTRPG?
>>47135346
Any General use system
>>47135346
Reskinned D&D
>>47135586
I don't think it would do the guns and stuff right.
What system would /tg/ use for a Paprika RPG? Build it from scratch? Make it freeform? How to translate Paprika's "feel" into pen and paper?
>>47134602
here you go anon. It's literally the system you're looking for.
>>47134718
Pretty good.
>>47134602
>How to translate Paprika's "feel" into pen and paper?
Play on drugs.
What do you think about dornian heresy?
http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/heresy/thedornianheresy.pdf
>>47133946
It's pretty stupid.
>>47134485
Just like Dorn, then.
>>47133946
I disagree.
What's your favorite vaguely Arabic/Berber/Persian/Islamic inspired fantasy culture /tg/?
>>47133796
Chivalry.
>>47133796
Sarranids
>>47133796
Orcs. Started with a GURPS setting where goblins had all converted to Islam, and then some soundtrack from LotR that sounded Arabic and played while viewing an orc stronghold. So now I include desert orcs in my games.

The museum gardens are still beautiful, even left to grow wild. A few choice saplings, bought at great expense, or gifted from foreign states and Elven groves, grown into full trees stand beside borders of flowers just starting to bud and broad lawns of green. Although not a museum dedicated much to botany, the art of landscaping was still a focus of a handful of exhibits. Here, you can almost forget that a war was fought at all, until you noticed the torn ground where steel treads had ripped up the turf, or where abortive attempts to dig trenches had been made, before being hastily abandoned in the retreat. You tear your gaze away from the wounded grounds and instead re-focus on your task. There has to be a way in here somewhere!
After a half-hour of diligent searching, you are starting to lose hope. The museum is locked tighter than a miser's purse. It's both a blessing and a curse, as at least you know the works inside are likely to be intact. Taking a seat on a nearby bench (dedicated with a verdigrised plaque to some donor to the museum's fortunes), you look up and re-assess. Birds are nesting under the lip of the guttering, likely tending eggs that are soon to hatch- Hmm...
What will you do?
>Kick in a grille covering a basement window and try to crawl inside, through the claustrophobic space (2D20+1)
>Pry loose some roof tiles and worm your way in under the eaves, with the birds and mice (2D20+1)
>Declare, "Fuck it!" and smash a window with a rock, then batter down the shutters inside (2D20+1)
>Climb a tree and try to precariously make your way to the burned clock tower. Its damage may provide a way in, if it doesn't kill you to try (2D20+1)
>Other
Rolled 4, 3 + 1 = 8 (2d20 + 1)

There were some questions last thread, so I'll answer them now. (See? I didn't forget!)
>We're a student right? What was our focus/major? What classes have we taken that could possibly be of use?
Your major before the war was Political Science, with a minor in Mathematics and Accounting. Sadly, neither is of a great deal of use to you right now. Enzo's greatest strength is his way with people and earnest, ingenuous personality.
>What are our resources? Do we own a house?
Your ration card, revolver, 24 rounds of Awsbet pistol ammo and you and your brother's personal effects. You rent a single-bedroom apartment on University Road; a popular student residential area before the war.
>Is there any way we could have saved Karlo?
Maybe? Maybe not. It's probably doubtful. All you can do now is look to the future and try to save others.No, you couldn't. That first section was character generation and trying to set the mood for the threads
>If we had picked a different character, would have affected our relationships with other people? Some of those names don't really jive all that well with the others, leading me to believe that they are foreigners in Awsbet, or at least children of immigrants
They could well have been foreigners, but they're citizens of Awsbet all the same and your brothers-in-arms. Plus, by selecting Enzo's name, you've helped define a little bit of the country and nail down its ethnicity some. Keep in mind that in this world, those names could all share a common region, for all you (and I) know!

>Kick in a grille covering a basement window and try to crawl inside, through the claustrophobic space (2D20+1)
>go to Magic night at my friend's house
>bring a soldier deck I threw together with cards in my collection

>one costs $1200

It's really his fault. For not kicking you out the moment they found you're playing banned card.
>>47133011
>frogposting
>caring about the value of decks
>using banned cards in a format (unless it's casual than its a house ban and you're an ass) and claiming it's okay because your deck is cheap
Newbie trying Dwarf fortress for the first time, anything I should be aware of?
Any hints and whatnot?
Also DF thread.
>>47132760
Get idlers to smooth stone walls.
>>47132760
>Any hints and whatnot?
Get Dwarf Therapist.
Maybe install a tileset.
Have a browser window set to the DF wiki.
Grow plump helmets, turn them to booze.
Bring some egg-laying animals with you, they seem pretty good for early food production.
remove elf
Don't embark on a location with an aquifer until you know what you're doing. Also, build cage traps outside the entrance to your fort for EZ mode defense.
What sorta guns do you like your characters and baddies wielding? I prefer some of that 70s and 80s flavor stuff.
>>47132449
A short, light, friendly rifle, that will do a great many things very well.
>>47132449
i get the gun that does the most damage my character can afford
usually a shotgun or burst fire smg
>>47132559
The bolt on the Schönauer is so extremely smooth
Not even my Krag Jorgenson was as smooth
"Lamias and saÃir go into heat annually, a week-long period when the urge to reproduce outweighs almost all other desires
and at which time they are the most fertile. The intelligent lamia types prefer to mate with humans in order to produce
offspring of their own sort, but if none are available they will mate with their own kind. If they encounter a human outside
of the summer mating season, the human's presence may cause them to come into heat out of season. Common lamias are hermaphrodites; any two of them can mate, with either of the pair being impregnated in the process. This also means that they can mate with both male and female humans. If a common lamia mates with a male human, the lamia can be impregnated, but if the lamia mates with a female human, the unfortunate woman bears the cubs."

It's okay if you read it in BBC documentory host's voice.
fucking hell if your going to make this thread at least post snektits
>>47132192
How aboutNigel Thornberry's?
Post a picture you love but can never find the appropriate thread to post it in
>New Player
>Before the first round, I explain him my setting.
>New Player accused me that I am a SJW because the god of love is male.
>I say that he can fuck off.
In retrospect, I wonder if I was petty.
Dodged a bullet; now move on and try not to kill worthwhile posts next time.
I dont tolerate people who whine about SJW any more than I tolerate people who whine about Social Justice. So you did the right call.
SJWs and Anti-SJWs are equally bad. And 'ironically' being either is just as bad as really being one.
Just try to find normal people.

Unless he was joking or whatever, good move, if done politely.

Oh right, I'll add in the weapon trait glossary right now. In the meantime:
>Burst
Burst weapon types are commonly firearms, but are any weapon that requires loading ammunition within the weapon in order to use it. Loading a round of ammunition into a Burst Weapon takes one Action by default.
>Focus
Focus weapons allow the character wielding one to sacrifice their action in order to increase the damage on the next attack made with the weapon. Each sacrificed action increases the damage by 2. However, sacrificed actions are reset upon using any action other than Focus, so moving, defending, readying, or otherwise choosing not to continue the Focus wastes all prior actions. Attacking with the weapon will spend all actions immediately.
>>47131249
Does focus stack with focus strike then? and if I damage multiple targets would I learn the entire group's skills or just one randomly?
Why are 90% of indie RPGs shit?
>>47130875
90% of everything is shit.
>>47130875
Spaghetti method. To design something new, throw stuff at the wall until something sticks. Not everything sticks.
Also, most indie games are designed with pretty specific genres or modes of play in mind, meaning they can't necessarily handle play outside that quite limited scope.
Filtering and selection bias. If it's not shit, it eventually stops being an indie.
>"Blank Blank, and their legendary Blank"
What single facet of your character will be the first thing mentioned in the legend told about them?
Their weapon?
Temperament?
Animal companion?
Magical Item?
Exceptional ability?
Beauty?
Feat?
Body part?
Article of Clothing?
Hatred towards something?
Spell?
Quest they completed?
Monster they slew?
Appetite?
If there is anyone left to tell my legend, then I played badly enough that no legend deserve to be told.
>>47130849
>Cultro Auritus and his legendary debauchery.
If Bacchus followers didn't know how to have such awesome times, he wouldn't have spent half of every reward in their temples/on benders with their priestesses.
>>47130849
>Rondo the Red and his legendary Hat
Seriously, this thing deserves its own epic tale.
