Elegen/tg/entlemen,
I'm about to be GMing a game of 7th Sea based in Eisen.(notGermany)
Anyway, my players have discussed an interest in having an element of the ol' creepy German fairytale to their swashbuckling. One of them in particular is considering having some critter carry away his sister as part of his backstory. (I'm not sure what critter in Theah would be that intelligent, but we can talk about that)
Thing is, some genres mix well, some don't. I'm just wondering if any of you think it's a...

bumping with spoop art, as I'm a desperate ho.
(Also feel free to weigh in with spoopy dark fairytale art, as that shit is boss)
>what critter in Theah would be that intelligent
Kobolds? They're intelligent, they're from Eisen and they're assholes in general.
Also, are you planning to use 1e or 2e?
Is there a vaders fist chapter and if not why isn't there?
Because a fucking psyker with a plasma sword seems pretty awesome.

I gotta say, storm trooper helmets on SM armor looks pretty good.
The merging of the termie helmet and Vader's is well done as well.
>>46262232
I'll get us started.
Imperial guard faction or humans with a psyker leader that marched on a temple full of chaos worshiping psykers.
Theses humans were found to be pure in the eyes of the emperor and were converted into adult human space marines as a result of this they are smaller than your normal space marine.
They use a mixture of terminator and space marine armor that gives them the necessary mass to fight in hand to hand combat with other space marines or chaos space marines.
FYI,...

Man that dreadnought looks like something you would sit in.
Like an actual ATST
I'd appreciate some ideas for quests for lvl 1 adventuers.
They just came to a small village in middle of nothing. The thing is, they expect to get something heroic, because they play CRPGs a lot.
What are some nice quests for my lvl 1 heroes? Can be silly.
Lost kid's always a good one, could make it combat, could make it investigation depending on how the party wants it.
>>46262113
Do you want plot ideas or module names?
>>46262182
Plot ideas please. I have a bunch of modules stocked up. They are all just pretty "too heroic".
Why are rouge traders a thing?
It seems such a useless thing to create. When the emperor of mankind was conquering earth some basically held their own ground but you would it would of been better to merge them into your government.
Also. Mars. Why wasn't its leader turn into a trader?
>>46261894
>>46261897
Um. Question.
Why?
>>46261907
Typos, improper grammar, no capitalization.
And seriously:
>Also. Mars. Why wasn't its leader turn into a trader?
I've been running a game with a few of my friends and my blind cousin and it got me thinking. Are there are RPGs that have books in Braille? The blind don't play as many video games or watch as many movies as the rest of us I feel POD braille copies of games could be a potential untapped market. That and I'm trying to find the guy a way to read the books independently to learn the ins and outs of the systems we use better.
>>46261817
PDFs and a refreshable braille display.
>>46261954
Never heard of this, thanks.

They expensive though.
This is how I butthurt monk.
How do you paladin?
This is how I paladin
>>46261853
you sir have just won any and all paladin threads.
>>46261791
whats a paladin?
To put people into perspective, into this situation.
Imagine this you are a veteran hero you have managed to avoid gods wrath from a simple accident or provoking it to save the kings life., He or she has saved countless villages and has earned the thanks of countless maidens and princess's and has killed enough beasts to fill more than a few tens of trophy rooms. And has earned enough gold and spent it to sate more than a few legendary dragons. And has managed to survive more than a few years and is continuing the adventuring, but what happens when it dawns upon the...

Are you implying people can't enjoy their jobs?
>>46261163
Im implying that what happens when a adventurer realizes its a job, and over time it becomes a dull and boring job.
anyone know what happened to civ burgler?
>>46260846
I don't know honestly.
Suddenly disappeared out of the blue one day. Is he having finals? Died? Just doesn't care anymore because it's been so long and he lost his vigor?
>>46260958
I don't know hope comes back
Best CIV in a long time IMO.
Hey /tg/ what do you do with quiet/shy players?
3/4 of them literally sit waiting for me while waiting until I tell them to roll for something
We have ran over 7 sessions already and the issue is still there, I've addressed this by putting them in situations where their input is needed and well their answer is more often than not a single word or a very short phrase.
Help
Have an NPC have a straight up conversation with them, and if they don't respond well enough have the NPC get offended.
Have a no cell phone rule
Talk to your players like adults and call them on their shit. If they don't want to partake with the roleplay hand them a calculator. Sure is a lot of number crunching they can do with that
>>46260946
The NPC thing could work, we don't have a no cellphone rule but nobody ever gets distracted.
Ultimately I could call them on their shit however I wanted to see if there were more "IC" options I could use before that
>>46261033
Make them roleplay be more creative make them talk, provide investigation, subtly force them to discuss to each other in char. Silently reward chars that roleplay such as providing a clue to an investigation or a hint when recapping the enemy when talking to each other...
Do all Legacy decks need to be combo-heavy in order to win? What's a good indicator that a deck will hold up well at a tournament?
not really
No, but you need to do something to interact.
If your deck sucks against combo, then you need to play basically 12-15 anti combo cards in your sideboard.
I came 3rd with this pile the other night: take note on how many anti-combo cards I have, tailored for my meta:
4 Cursed Scroll
4 Figure of Destiny
4 Grim Lavamancer
4 Mogg Fanatic
4 Rakdos Cackler
1 Sulfuric Vortex
2 Eidolon of the Great Revel
3 Fireblast
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Chain Lightning
3 Rift Bolt
4 Bloodstained Mire
7 Mountain
4 Rishadan Port
4 Wasteland

So a while ago I remember some folks debating whether it was evil to use a Helm of Opposite Alignment on a pure evil being like a demon. Those saying 'evil' say so because the amount of mindrape it would need to change their alignment is so strong that it erases all of what they are, effectively killing them.
Alright, some of that makes sense. You are practically killing a demon if you use this item on them...
But since when was killing demons and devils ever an evil act? Especially when you're playing something like a Paladin. You're going...

those people are dumb. compare yourself to when youre stressed and tired and when youre rested. one day youre an asshole with zero patience and the next you go back to normal. did you die? did the good you die and become replaced by an evil you, which then died and was replaced by a good you? the...

Depends entirely on whether or not you run absolute alignment.
I never do, but I would argue that this method is still evil, since you have performed a forcible conversion via what can be stated as a form of mind-control.
>>46262079
But given what demons and devils are, why is that evil?

The Beast Arises: ‘The Last Wall’
David Annandale
Ebook Edition, 2016
If you’re already invested in The Beast Arises, you’re going to want to read ‘The Last Wall’ because it really shakes things up. If you’re not, you don’t want to read this book as a one-off 40k book or as your first entry into...

The rest of ‘The Last Wall’ is much less interesting and a lot stupider. Characters don’t think, or think in completely illogical ways. Never mind Imperial Guardsmen tempting fate in clichés, or Inquisitors pinning all their complex plans on random luck, and High Lords being willfully blind to the universe around them; no, the real stupidity is how everyone in the book says time and again how they can do nothing, nothing they do matters, and then regret how they didn’t do anything. Annandale uses the...

Secondary plots include the traitorous Iron Warriors being invaded by both an Ork attack moon and a Black Templar Crusade, and Chapter Master Koorland of the Imperial Fists assembling a force of Successor chapters. And these plots eventually become one plot; the Fist’s mobilization is being held up by the Black Templars wasting their strength invading the Iron Warriors and the Iron Warriors decide they need to focus on one invasion, not two.They probably team up, unless the alliance spoiled by Black Library...

In one area, Annandale has done better than previous entries in the series. His worldbuilding is better. You see some of how various High Lords maintain their power bases, such as the Speaker for the Chartist Captains maintaining an office where the wealth, culture, and delicacies of the Imperium are rotated through on a daily basis, never repeating, to impress just how important and powerful the merchant marine is.
And the exploration of Terra’s hives as the Inquisition and Assassinorum play cat and mouse...

So Dystopian Wars is getting new Fast Play rules called 'Dystopian Wars: Fleet Action.'
Anyone on /tg/ play DW? What do you guys think? I'm a fan of the models, but I've never had the chance to play it.
Yes, there are about three DW players on /tg/ in total- me, one guy who said it was nice to see my models, and probably one other anon.
As for Fleet Action, yeah, I'm pretty interested. DW does take a little too long to play and has a few rules quirks I don't like (like boarding, which is a fucking mess). Since it's just a new rule set, and sounds as though it will be fairly similar to DW- DR, exploding dice, linking fire etc. and won't have its own line of models, it shouldn't trigger Spartan's ADHD too hard.
At the very least I will be keen to have a look. Whether I like it or not will depend on how much they streamline the rules.
>>46259451
I really like Dystopian Wars, I've got 3 fleets and 2 armies. However, a 1000 point game takes me about 4-5 hours to play and I get at least two rules completely wrong each game.
A fast play variant sounds appealing.
I've had this dusty old tome for about four years now. I have a basic familiarity with the Zodiac adaptation as well. Which do you elegan/tg/entlemen prefer?
>>46259013
I'm unfamiliar with it and would be interested to know more.
>>46259013
What a coincidence, I had this 2 year old pdf.
>>46259181
It was developed by a now-defunct group known as the Returners. I had it printed because it's hard to lock down a .pdf on. I do know there is one available if you're willing to delve into your search.
The ZODIAC Final Fantasy RPG is not only easier to find, but, from the opinions I've gathered, players seem to prefer it due to its more malleable class system.
So at my Local GW ,guy needs to sell his gear as soon as to pay rent or he gets the boot,buy his whole chaos army painted and all off him for his rent money. So i got the following for 60 quid and need help making a playable list.
3 obliterators
2 lords
9 Thousand sons(includes champion)
10 possesed
30 standard chaos marines
10 bezerkers
18 plague marines
2 rhinos
1 vindicator
1 predator
1 baneblade
3 chaos bikes
3 chaos terminators
Thanks in advance.
>>46258856
Buy it, then sell it. Chaos is useless this edition and those units are mostly garbage. The only good Chaos Space Marine lists these days are KDK.
>>46258933
So they butchered the codex so bad the only way to go is using a different codex,Well fuck.
>>46259081
The only units worth keeping are the Obliterators, Bikes, and maybe the Terminators depending on their combi-weapon.
The Plague Marines and Rhinos are also okay but need lots of special weapons.
