Sure, why not? Used to go to this little game shop in a mall where the owner would let me rummage through his old books and models in the back, then give me 80-90% off the list price on all of it. I miss that store.

How do I convincingly play my ork falling to chaos?
Rogue trader turned black crusade. Crew consists of
1)Super heretikal genetor (de facto captain)
2)Super mutated rogue navigator (party face and devil on our shoulder)
3)Super powerful Tzeentchian sorceror (probably behind the navigator)
4) oversized ork Kommando who sort of fits the bill for a champion of chaos undivided.
- incredible warrior, turns into a blender around enemies. Stronk and fearless.
- dedicated to achieving stealthy perfection. His art, his passion. (Ork Kommando)
- lives in filth, doesn't care about disease or mortality, just about staying with his boys and his boss. Has been exploded half a dozen times and dismembered twice as often as that so far. Disgustingly, brutally tough.
- Tzeentch I dunno. He doesn't have a whole lot of just as planned, unless he was a cats paw for a higher ranked sorceror (cough) I do t see how he could swing this.
Also dual wielding a daemon weapon of slaanesh, khorne, and wearing armour made of a nurglish blessed swamp slug. (40m long, 7m wide slug called "death" on its death world)
Thoughts? Pic probably not related.

I have racked up a lot of insanity. Maybe at 50 points I get corruption susceptibility and can go down the corruption track?
>>46556053
>>46556096
He falls to slaanesh and grows a huge dick
The rest of the campaign is a wacky romantic comedy about him learning how to use it
>>46556053
>>46556096
From what I've seen in the fluff, Orks are generally immune from chaos corruption from a mixture of both the ork race's version of the hivemind which keeps the race more or less of the same mindset and the fact that most orks don't know or care about the actual concept of chaos. But it does happen, but I've only seen it in full on warbands in the fluff. I'd say your boy would need to realize that the gits he's with are weird and probably should get some good ol' insanity melting direct exposure to the warp.
So I'll hopefully being playing some TNT (This is not a test) Soon, and I was wondering if there are any good books on battlefield tactics, maybe some generally geared towards board war-gaming in general?
Or, if you do not know about such books, maybe just some insight into general war gaming tactics.
>>46555888
Anyone?
>>46555888
Well I guess I just go an answer my own Question, so here you go me.
>>46556430
What could a medieval-level society with access to low magic use to make currency besides precious metals like gold? Also, is it plausible that another world would have different proportions of precious metals, such as silver being rarer than gold?
Paper.
Make a world where iron and copper are the rarest of metals.
>>46554310
It's possible you could mint some sort of indelible magic token that could be traded as currency, but there would need to be a way to ensure forgeries couldn't be manufactured or otherwise detect fakes. Inflation could be prevented because there would be regular use for magic, and these currencies could be rendered into magical components. Of course, this assumes there's also a trading economy going, because one could render down their money for a single costly application.
Still, if your currency is precious metals (whatever those may be) then minting coins is simply a means of producing an "official" currency with some level of uniformity and standardization (one gold coin is the same as all other gold coins, one silver bar the same as other silver bars), while trading in other forms of precious metals would produce uneven equivalencies in currency (silver candlestick needs to be weighed to determine approximate value, as does gold jewelry).
But currency is a very hard thing to try and work. Abstracted values can lead to inflation and valued tied to standards can lead to inflation if the standards they're based on flood the market (a gold rush ruining the gold standard for example).

I'm just wondering when they are going to come out with the scorpion
I'm glad they figured out that fleet battles in halo of all things has possibly the most boring looking units in all of gaming. ground battles, especially at this scale, are an exceptionally good idea.
Hey /tg/
What is your favourite Space Marine Chapter? Why? Based on crunch or fluff or both?
I'm genuinely curious.
>>46553451
Soul Drinkers.
>>46553451
Blood Ravens
Dawn of War is what got me into Warhammer 40k
The characters are cool.

>>46553878
>Blood Ravens
I love the ambiguity of their origins.
>slut street
>Yes, there is a "Slut Street" in Waterdeep. Yes, I put it there. And no, the word 'slut' had no sexual connotation to British and Canadian folks until the last 15 years or so (creeping American influence). It meant "a slovenly woman" or, in earlier times, "a working drudge." So this was where the poor serving wenches dwelt, shopped, and could be hired - not a Prostitutes' Row. -Ed Greenwood
Okay... I still don't get what he's trying to say. So it's not a street full of whores but a street full of low class "serving wenches" that you can hire. So what exactly kind of business goes on in Slut Street?
>>46553194
but isn't a prostitute essentially a slovenly wench who can be hired?
>>46553194
Cooking, cleaning, gutting fish, probably a bit of whoring too, sure, but the point is that slut just mean unclean or common, nothing overtly sexual.
So where would you go in Waterdeep for whoring?
I'm kinda late to the party on this one, but did anyone ever bother statting out Undertale's Big Sad Goat Dad?
>>46552961
The problem with trying to stat anything undertale is that the whole game is so abstract. Functionally, every creature in that universe can be killed by a single child so they're pretty weak overall.
>>46556554
A single child who can endlessly reset time to learn their attack patterns until he wins. And a human's attacks aren't that deadly unless they have enough murderous intent for the monster's own magical body to turn on itself.
You'd need special rules to account for the whole in-universe rpg rules.
Gaining levels could provide damage bonuses against them, or players would have to rp as murderhobos to get max advantage.
HP already accounts for killing intent weakening monster attacks.
Or if you just want to want to capture some of the flavour of UT but have the monsters just be tabletop monsters, make King Goat a minotaur sorceror, lvl 12-16

Alright, LET ME TELL YOU A TALE OF HIGH ADVENTURE...
With that out of the way, these are the two characters:
Michael Jackson, with the powers: Cry the Feelings, Pour the YooHoo, Take the Drugs, Grab the Crotch and Smooth the Criminal. Core Attribute of HeeHee
Ryan Renalds: Say the SUCC, Wear the Deadpool, Piss the Green Lantern, Go to the Bathroom and Pour the Cancer. His Core Attribute was referred to as Sexiness.
The story starts with our two unlikely heroes sitting atop the Eiffel Tower. The year: 1939. Their goal, according to a Monkey dressed in an Uncle Sam costume, is to kill Hitler.
>>46553004
Michael Jackson decides that he can't do this all tired as he is, and he goes to the Eiffel Tower Cafe and has a conversation with the local male barista.
"Hey, are you a criminal?"
"Yes..."
TIME MOMENT DECLARED.
He uses Smooth the Criminal, by lathering him up with Vaseline for free coffee. I didn't make him roll for this one, since I was amused.
Time Moment ended, with coffee in hand, the two heroes ask themselves "How do we kill Hitler?"
They sit, for a moment.
TIME MOMENT DECLARED
Michael Jackson decides to Cry the Feelings. A tank is a hard shell, as is his heart, which is filled with feelings. Therefore, he cries a tank atop the Eiffel Tower. Ryan Renalds proceeds to Wear the Deadpool. In the comics, Deadpool has the equivalent to a Bag of Holding, so he stuffs the tank in it.
A tank appears, then immediately dissappeared, and now Ryan Renalds is wearing a spandex Deadpool costume. Our two glorious Time Wizards decide to ride the elevator down from to the bottom, then Ryan Renalds pulls the tank out.
Unfortunately, this means that there is now a TANK falling on them from 10 feet above.
"I DECLARE A TIME MOMENT."
Ryan Reynalds decides to "Go to the Bathroom." Now, in this universe, Ryan Reynalds is working on a movie all about Hitler's life. And by association, Ryan Reynalds ended up in the representation of Hitler's bathroom. Therefore, he teleports to Nazi Germany and takes a shit in Hitler's own personal lavatory. Meanwhile, Michael Jackson decides to "Grab the Crotch," and does so with enough force to pull him away from the falling tank.
The two realize that there's a problem. They can't talk to each other from France to Nazi Germany, so Reynalds tries to "Say the SUCC." At this point, he fails a dice roll against me, the Time Master.
What is your favorite non-magic card game?
>>46552500
Depends on what I am in the mood for.
If I want dueling wizards? Mage Wars.
If I want a good fantasy themed PVP? Warhammer Invasion
Co-op? Legendary
Co-op with a high difficulty rating? Shadowrun Crossfire
Just fucking around with friends? Super Fight or Cards against humanity (they wear thin fast as hell though because they rely on shock value that gets repetitive fast)
The card game that gets the most play time though is Warhammer Invasion.
The card game that gets the least play time is Summoner Wars. Nobody in my group (myself included) cares for the game. Mage wars does tactics and depth much better without a burn mechanic. Wasted my money buying that game all in all.
Android Netrunner is another game we don't care for at all. The general consensus is that the asymmetrical gameplay is a great idea, but the game itself is dull as fuck.
>>46552500
Traditional card games - 10-card Gin for two players, Gin Rummy for more.
Modern "board games" that happen to be entirely cards - Sushi Go! or Welcome To The Dungeon. Hard to choose there.

Why are Space Marines so popular? If you play tabletop then you're a nerd and you obviously were bullied so why play a ''humanity, fuck yeah'' army if humanity did you more harm than good?
>>46550274
I'm going to give you points for effort on this one.
I think you could have distilled this line of reasoning down to make it a bit more dense, or at least chopped it up into bite-sized snippets and/or buried it in other text with a helping of subtlety, but otherwise an attempt was made.
Because Ultramarines
[muffled WAAAAARD in the distance]
Why are Eldar so popular? If you play tabletop then you're ugly and you obviously were bullied so why play a ''fuck yeah, I'm gorgeous'' army if the beautiful people did you more harm than good?
How would a 3.5 neutral good fighter turned frenzied berserker work? How do you resolve only feeling alive when you're committing horrific acts of violence but also wanting to make the world a better place?
>>46550154

>>46550154
Well for starters you wouldn't qualify for Frenzied Berserker with just straight up Fighter levels.
>>46550154
By accepting the alignment system is only a 2 word descriptor of general worldview instead of a complete and utterly inflexible philosphy?
Or just by making them CG.
Everyone and their mom loves to make alignments their verbal punching bag. You can't even say /tg/ is being hipster it's pretty much up there with opinions like "I fucking hate autoplay video ads".
So, despite the hate does your group still use them? Why? If not, how do you handle alignment dependent spells like Summon Monster in 3.5?
We use them in games that have mechanics around them, but that's pretty much it.
>>46549253
>So, despite the hate does your group still use them?
Nope.
>If not, how do you handle alignment dependent spells like Summon Monster in 3.5?
We don't play 3.5
>>46549253
Alignments are simple references for newbies at first unsure how their chars might react to events IC. e.g. - Babby's First RP Guidelines. Using it for anything else is just an option. A stupid option.
If you're running one long campaign, how do you deal with the death of all of your players? It doesn't always make sense that a villain would be willing to "take them alive"
But if you kill off the players do you handwave to rationalize the new party taking over where they left off? Or do you, by necessity, cut your losses and start over anew?
Cut losses.
I will take some notes and do a different campaign then come back with a time skip with villain succeeding or stopped by someone else.
If it's a fantasy setting you could have them continue the adventure in the afterlife or have them return as undead.
Afterlife adventure given by something that has bigger plans for them.
>Mankind was a mistake, it's nothing but trash these ''people'' sicken me deeply they constantly try to outdo each other in achieving new heights of retardation and I'm forced to suffer for them. Someone please pull the plug.
