I am fairly new to miniature collecting and painting. For a first time, I'd say it came out pretty well. I'm almost finished, but I would like to see what you think of it. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated as well as tips and tricks. I will be posting the back side shortly.I apologize for my shit photography skills.

And this happens
Why is every card game so fucking retarded?
>>46299926
Because you are.
>>46299926

>>46299926
Because you touch yourself and that makes God angry.

Heroes
Lady Camilla Everbright- The legendary beauty of the midlands, master arcanist and our glorious vampiric leader
Palmetto- Mysterious wanderer and master swordsman
Giles- Mercenary captain from the city-states, skilled in combat and tactics
Settlements
Main settlement(unnamed)- lays on the western side of the river, heavily fortified with walls, keep and an underground lair.
Our main settlement has around 300 people in it
Buildings
Large farmsx2
Iron minex1
Smithyx1
Lumber campx1
Library
Arcane Lab
Dark altar(in lair)
Keep
Homes(we have extra for future population)
Northern town/fort
fortified with high walls, set near the old Dwarven imperial highway. They operate a few farms and have a population of around 50, not including the garrison of the fort(between 30 and 100 men, 30 during peacetime)
Our total population runs around 550 people with 55 vampires, the rest are our human thralls, free minded humans and various other servants.
We also control a vampiric Orc who has infiltrated the orcs of the far north and currently leads a warband 50 warriors strong.
We are currently closely allied to the elves, who are ruled by a militaristic leader, their current Archon is Narkos, a renowned mage and warrior
They rule a small town and have a small defense force consisting of rangers
We also have friendly relations with the Dwarves, but have had recent trade disputes due to their undercutting our metalcrafters in local markets.
The Dwarves control a massive Empire and command thousands of troops, their coffers also run deep, allowing them to field large numbers of mercenaries to exist their standing armies.
We have recently established relations with the City-states establishing a trade route by sea
Their relative strength is unknown, but we know they were badly beaten by the Dwarves in a recent war
>>46297636
Hooray! Happy Easter, Shmeh.
>>46297693
Also forgot to add our new fishing village
It currently has strong fortifications, a small lumberyard, and a shipyard
our own military consists of 100 professional warriors
Specialist units
Light cavalry- 10 light cavalry men, trained in both the bow and the sword, wearing light mail or studded leather, good for hit and run attacks, also an excellent reconnaisance force
Commandos- Equipped with heavy mail, and whatever they want from our arsenals, they are also given a near unlimited budget for their missions, they have magic training and are given emberstones, to destroy themselves and any evidence of our involvement in covert operations. They are experts in stealth warfare, training local elements and diplomacy
We also operate a longboat and 2 captured and refurbished lizardmen warships.
I honestly prefer color-coded tokens to minis when playing rpgs, I just don't like how the minis never quite match the image I have for the character. With this in mind I have a set of 10 color-coded 3-d markers I use for PC and important NPCS, 10 color-coded 2-d markers, and 10 transparent numbered 2-d markers which I use to represent NPCs. I also like the fact they're 20mm, allowing me to use 3/4 inch squares rather than 1 inch so I can build larger environments. Also, I use arrow shaped pieces to represent which direction the characters are facing, which comes into play during stealth scenes and the like.
During combat I use a whiteboard to write down what each token stands for, and the players never seem to have a problem keeping track of what is what.
Glad to hear, that is good for you.
>>46297254
Did you referee seriously allow *every* player to name their character "Your Text"?
What the hell.
pCs are "my Tex", NPCs are "your text" I guess...
I want to run a game of Monsterhearts but I need ideas for "adventures" or whatever you want to call it..
>>46297043
You don't really need adventure ideas for those types of games. Just making your characters, (which you should do together at the table) will give you ideas. The playbooks are designed to give you inspirational starting points and then you just improvise from there.
>>46297043
Watch Buffy? Pick up a random supernatural YA book?
>>46297043
Full Moon on Halloween, there's a big party for all the high schoolers, and that bitch Alexis was been flirting with your crush.
I'm thinking about running a setting where Good and Evil are perturbations in a universal field, similar to magnetism in objects (think perfect Good is all spins aligned entirely up, perfect Evil is all spins aligned entirely down). Any thoughts on further ideas for emergent mechanics/story hooks?
(Smashing an angel and a demon together at high velocities)
If evil is a measurable thing, then why don't the good people group up and Smite Evil?
Attempts of the same have happened time and time again in human history, and those guys had to MAKE UP the evidence that their victims were evil.
I was thinking, for example that once "alignment" is increased beyond a certain threshold, free will is lost and behaviour becomes deterministic. The plot starts with stories of an angel rampaging in a city, leaving a cracked, glowing scar in his wake before suddenly leaving. The city is shocked, religions are in turmoil, such a thing has never occurred before. The players eventually learn that the antagonist learned how to bring an angel below the threshold, giving it free will for the first time. The angel becomes a potential antagonist/force of nature, and will stop at nothing to keep its new free will.
>>46296393
So, good and evil are basically just forms of mind control by 2 different superior powers that are battling each other for the universe (or the inhabitants thereof)?
Do you think WotC will bring back hybrid cards? Why or why not?
>>46296158
They should make the mechanic evergreen, it's pretty straightforward.
It'll come back in the next Ravnica set, that much for sure, but I really hope they use it sooner than that.
I liked what they did with the Khans in FTR.
>>46296158
Yes. Because they didn't mind bringing back the symbols in Tarkir and people like these cards. There is very little reason to say WotC will never ever bring them back.
>>46296330
That's actually the exact card that got me thinking about that, Anon. I feel like the the Khans block would have been perfect for a hybrid revival because of all the tri-color support.
I've never played MTG before, I have however played YGO, which are two completely different games, I was wondering if Steam's Magic Duels is good or nah.
Has anyone played it?
>>46295552
It's pretty good.
You get only fraction of the cards there are but it is great for casual play and learning the game.
I recommend trying it out, but don't expect very competitive play.
>>46295552
>I've never played MTG before
>wondering if Steam's Magic Duels is good or nah.
It's an excellent way to learn the game and indeed why wizards made it.
Pick it up cheap and have fun.
>>46296424
Magic Duels is free to play.
That's the main reason I recommend it.
Even farming the boosters is laughable easy compared to most other f2p TCCGs on steam.
Which get's less shit done, the Imperium or the United States Congress?
>>46294593
Are we talking proportionately? Because if we're going by absolute numbers than the Imperium does more just by virtue of how big it is.
>>46294635
in terms of overall well being of both realms, respectively
Imperium gets lot done considering the sheer number of things that require attention. Imperium never closed because no one could come to a consensus
Is it possible to have a campaign with Invincible PCs?
Like, they can be in dangerous situations where they could maybe get hurt...
But death or having any sort of lethal consequence to losing a fight just won't happen?
Yes. Just don't fuck up with CR and make it seem like they'll lose but they "miraculously" survive. Also wimp GMs who think having a character die is a personal insult to that player.
>>46294042
That's how most of the man-children playing D&D effectively play already.
>Waaaa my character suffered any sort of permanent consequence, I'm gonna throw a fit, cause OOC drama and whine on forums!
>>46294042
Non-lrthal consequences.
Of course, it requires players to actually give a shit about setting, so it's harder than usual.

You take a deep breath in through your nose, sit up, and stretch as you wake up. Then you open your eyes.
For the first time you can remember, you aren't waking up wrapped in Emi's tail. Which is both a good and a bad thing. Good because it means you can move without waking her, bad because Emi's tail is cozy.
You look one way and see Emi not too far from you, with her tail wrapped around Ilica and the devils. All of them are still sleeping peacefully.
One of these nights you'll have to stay awake and find out how she manages to snare people like that in her sleep. Catching one person without waking them is one thing, but when you heard the bells last night she had all of you in there...
Looking the other way, you see Derrick sitting against a tree. He seems to be thinking about something, as he idly blows fire on a stick that he's holding.
"Good morning" You say.
His eyes turn to you, and he stuffs the stick into the ground. "Good morning" He says. "Sleep well?"
You yawn, and shrug.
"Me too" He says. "Last night's been bugging me..."
"Same here... but probably for different reasons" You say.
"Oh?" He asks. "What happened to you?"
