ITT: Discuss the music you use with gaming.
I'm about to head off to dinner with the family but I want to get into writing overdrive afterwards. I could use some good mood music. Info on it below.The character I'm writing up was a devout 40k naval soldier that's been through some shit, became an unsanctioned psycker, kept it hidden, was discharged, and went on a pilgrimage to Terra and became sanctioned while there. After years of introspection, this now disillusioned ex-soldier sanctioned psycker was recruited into the Inquisition. (Acolyte...

I generally think of this track as good for fighting your way through a burning building.

Um. Ive come up with a background for some RT Navy Armsmen i think you might want to use. Theyre called the Kin of Clan Cromwell.

This song tipifies guardsmen, but it may work for Imperial Navy too.
Back, with a few drinks and some sushi in my belly. Let's get writing!

Well the plan is for him to make it to Senior Chief Petty Officer before discharge. I hadn't really planned much for his actual battalion but it's in the Askellon sector (Dark Heresy 2e) so I'm not sure if it would work very well.
As for my music themes, I was recommended Type O Negative to add to the mix, and potentially old Metallica. Definitely leaning Type O Negative direction though, while I like old Metallica...

Remember when warhammer fantasy had lizards?
Remember when Warhammer Fantasy was alive?
They removed Lizarmen? Why? They were awesome.
So how did everyone do at the first prelease? Pull anything good? How big was your event?
1st place with mardu midrange. There was about 90 of us at my LGS. I got a foil anguished unmaking, and then in my prize pulls I got sin prodder, nahiri and another AU.
Went 2-1, went Red/black removal splashing green for more creatures and to stamped foil Arlinn Kord (she was great). Pretty successful deck, werewolves are scary if transformed especially if you can play one turn one or two.
Besides Planeswalker and excellent removal, "Skin Invasion" and "Insolent Neonate" (even played together to get you a early 3/4) both proved valuable.
4 wins and 1 loss, 5th overall, about 50ish people. I pulled 2 thing in the ice, a foil Sigarda, an Olivia, and then a couple of other foils and garbage rares/mythics. Nothing largely exciting, certainly nothing with which to build a grand deck but no matter. Was a lot of fun, and since we played standard FNM right before, I got to gloat over the people who beat me in constructed which was nice.
I was a little jelly of the people that pulled Jaces, Avacyns, Nahiris and Sorins. Sadly, no planeswalkers for me.
>>46410826
Promo was Traverse the Ulvenwald. Kinda happy about it. A tutor for G will see play - even if it just ends up being a staple in EDH.
Sealed pool was really weird. None of the colors was really fleshed out. Pulled Nahiri, Markov Dreadnight, Goldnight Castigator and then just unplayable chaff like Eerie Interlude and Cryptolite Rite...
My black was awful but Dreadnight a flyer/bomb. Red was awful but Castigator a flyer/bomb. White had almost all my removal but not a single flyer/spirit thing.
Lost...

How does magic work in your setting? I had an interesting idea
So, there are 8 elements, set up in opposites: fire/ice, lightning/water, dark/light/ and earth/air. Of which you're aligned to one or two elements. But here's the thing though, the reason you're better at casting X element is because you're aligned to 1 concept, of which X element is an aspect. So for example, your power is not that of earth, but of life's will to survive and evolve, which most easily manifests itself as earth (fire's not the hardest for you either). Of course,...

Magic in my setting is whatever the fuck it wants to be.
Most of the time it's linked to higher brain functions and your state of mind of when you gained your magical ability.
If you are unlucky, it's mapped to your lower brain functions or some random muscles. So a magical mutant could have the shitty lot of causing explosions whenever he flexes his biceps or expel most kinetic energy from his body when he flexes his kegel muscles, which causes instant hypothermia but is very useful while on fire.
In the most basic form it's will made manifest. Some call it the tools of the gods, and the language of dragons. The giants of ancient times codified it into runes, and the elves have spun it into an art.
>>46417640
Arcane spells are quasi-independent things that squirm and writhe when contained to the page in written form.
Some say they are living numinology that tweaks the world around them in their death rattles as the wizard purges the spells from their mind.
Some say the spells themselves are not powerful, but rather it is the belief of so many wizards in the power contained in the spells that gives them their strength to bend the world, others say the spells are truly alive, more so even than people are...

This is our color scheme someone in the Drawthread shopped for our Dynasty.
Some topics:
>What sort of combat tactics would they use?
Something most likely involving massive amounts of Scarabs, Wraiths, and Spyders, possibly swarming the enemy with extreme numbers of them?

How about that before the great sleep they were like a puppet state for the Sautehk dynasty?
They where left alone (mostly) but the Sautehk's made all the bigger choices for them. This might had bee nwhat lead to the formation of the spy/assassin hero.
Is the early modern era inherently boring for roleplaying?
>melee fighting obsolete
>guns still suck
>no folkloric/legendary background
>magic means fuck-all compared to cannons and rifles
Actually 20-50s earth makes some really good basis for high adventure stories involving explorers and archeologists. There are still dark corners of the earth and anything (from Lovecraft to Atlantis) could be lurking there. Also, no satellite mapping, internet or mobile phones to ruin the feel of high adventure. You know like Indiana Jones etc.
If anything it's pretty much ideal era of high adventure given that there's lots of technology to do things, but not too much to take adventure away.
Ah, ignore my last post. I misunderstood what you meant by early modern era. I agree that "age of reason" is pretty much worst kind of era to play and I think it only really works out as Samurai adventures set in Japan.

>Melee fighting obsolete
>Guns still suck
>Magic means fuck-all compared to cannons and rifles
So... If Melee, Guns, and Magic all wouldn't work for combat.. how would people fight, harsh words?
>>46409223
Considering the 1700's world map, I think he was meaning earlier than the 1900's, yet the time period OP attempts to describe definitely does not apply to the 1700's.
Because melee was still a thing, mostly because guns sucked, magic would have rocked shit, and it had TONS of folklore and legends... What the fuck do you call pirates?
Look at all the white shit on that map, that's prime exploring territory! Rife with deadly and unpredictable terrain, as well as savage natives who's backwards ways defy logic! Toss in some actual magic shit and I'd play the hell out of that campaign.
Describe each faction in the image succinctly and appropriately.

Hey guys. Is there any list anywhere that has lots of /tg/ related movies? Because if you search for "good fantasy movies" or stuff like that, you find nothing, and most of the recommended films are utter crap.
I'd like to have personal recommendations by you, movies that you enjoy, be it fantasy, sci fi, historical or whatever, but that have some kind of /tg/ relation.
Action movies, warfare movies, drama movies, McGuffin plots, whatever you name
Pic related this movie is /tg/ related but sucks big time
Hell I'll even accept monster movies, maneater animal movies or whatever. Just something that makes me think about role playing games, settings or things I could do with my players.
Huge battles, little skirmishes, dark or scary stories, whatever

Ladyhawke
Willow
The Princess Bride
Labyrinth

(This is a very relaxed quest about a fantasy turf war. Just hop in and enjoy the shitty writing and drawings. I’ll be fun)
The great city of Dahuud isn’t what it used to be. Oh back in the day it used to be… well, a great city! A city of commerce, wealth and culture! But due to bureaucracy and political squabbling, the ruling class lost control. I don’t want to point fingers, but it was definitely the elves amirite?
Right.
Now, each district is in control of a vicious gang. And all those gangs are ruled by a vicious leader.
(1/2)
And one of those leaders is Fat Lesly, the kingpin of Mudhole. His days consist of extorting poor mudholians with violence and snacking on tasty rat-stew.
At least he was. He died this morning. Yeah it was a “real tragedy”.
But it looks like there will be a change of regime in Mudhole! A new leader emerges… Someone who takes Lesly’s place and will build a new gang in mudhole…

Gabby critically inspects her sole volunteer with the eyes of a disapproving employer.
“Eh, no offense honey,” Gabby explains, “But I'm sorta looking for warriors, not prostitutes.”
Rowe leans over to Gabby and begins to whisper. “Gabby! That's the –”
“Unless you have some sort of fucking people to death powers or something,” Gabby continues.

also, what was your April fool's prank going to be?
I'm in dire need for pic of bodyhorror stuff for a upcoming part of my campaign where my players end up in a Victorian-era asylum that doubles as a undercover experiment pen for a bunch of doctors with not a single ounce of ethics between them.
We're talking old-school "let's see if the head can survive on another body" stuff with a side order of victorian-era asylum shit like lobotomy and cast-iron straitjackets.
TL;DR: Need body horror pics for adventure inspiration

After showering, dressing, and eating a light meal of eggs and toast, you attend a critical meeting called by Duncan, which he assures you is of the utmost importance. You recall that he seems to think just about everything is of utmost importance, but it's not as though you have much to do in the morning anyway.
As you and your numerous advisors sit down at your respective seats, Duncan begins setting up a powerpoint presentation. You tap your fingers impatiently on the conference table, Vanessa devotes her interest to a magazine, and Shen does squat thrusts in the corner up until Duncan turns down the lights and begins speaking.
"As you all know, the nations to our north and west are long lived and powerful. As was Theon, which we incorporated nearly a year ago. Until now, each of them had been sending spies, raiders, and privateers to prod us into action, but recently these acts have all but ceased. After a deep investigation, I have discovered something alarming. Relations between the two have decayed, and now they turn their attentions to each other, in anticipation of war. My sources tell me any errant breeze will ignite passions, and with that I must suggest that we make preparations to take action as well. Joining one side will not only earn us a powerful ally, but it will afford us a chance to expand and secure an entire border. We should take advantage of this chance, and in my opinion, join the Kingdom of Solaris to the west. They are home to a religion that would be threatening if it were to spread to our people, especially after the Theonites had their faith shaken by our invasion."
Duncan opens the floor, and your advisors begin murmuring.

>Ask Sophia and Caela
>Ask Legion and Shen
>Ask Gilbert and Caitlyn

Why tire ourselves out compromising with some weaklings over a long campaign when we can just bide our time and strike as soon as one of them wins? We'd wipe out both enemies, and have two nations worth of land under our control."
The room mumbles again. Sophia speaks up soon after.
"That's assuming we can secure that much land quickly. If we wipe out the leaders of both countries...
