It's so nice starting a new game with new players. And even better that none of them are murder hobos. Nothing is worse than an intricately planned out political intrigue character that is reeeeeally important, but the murder hobo is on his phone not listen and then goes "fuck this guy let's kill him." Which has happened too many times with my old group

>Nothing is worse than an intricately planned out political intrigue character that is reeeeeally important
Agreed.
>>48143383
Me and my friends also started a campaign recently, I was 100% sure this would end up being a murder-'em-all run but so far, not a single thing has been killed. Granted, we just barely had our first session, but still. Was a pleasant surprise.
>>48143392
Cmon man the combat and stuff is fun and all but if done right (not complete, drawn out for ages "I want this kingdom to be destroyed but with words" crap) political intrigue can be awesome
So, which miniature war game would you describe as the most newbie-friendly?
I want to get into one but I'm not sure which should I choose. I'm thinking about WH40k, WH AoS / FBFuck me running but I don't really know difference between themor X-wing.
How would you rate these games in terms of
-Price to fun ratio
-Collecting ease
-Rules complexity level (I mean which game - if any - has too many needlessly complex rules etc)
-Need of buying more and more models to keep your collection relevant in LGS games
For all your points, with the games you chose... X wings, by far...
>Price to fun ratio
You can be very competitive only with TIE (4-5)
>Collecting ease
Nothing to paint, and you can find anything quite easily
>Rules complexity level (I mean which game - if any - has too many needlessly complex rules etc)
Rules are "easy to learn, hard to master"
Honestly, you will get some fun pretty fast
>Need of buying more and...

Once the General's Handbook comes out Age of Sigmar will be a perfect newbie game
-Price to fun is easy as the start collectings+ a few more boxes actually gives you a solid unique army
-Collecting ease is very simple with the full alliances and subfactions have limited units so its more apparent what you need to but
Rules Complexity- 4 pages leads to an easy into, but war scroll interactions, missions, and the subtle interactions in the assault phase alone create a nice learning curve for the new player.
-Relevance some of the oldest model...

This isn't a question that can be answered in a vacuum.
How do you run a game while tired? I'm hosting a session in two hours and I haven't slept in like 38 hours but I don't want to cancel.
>>48141963
By taking a 90-minute power nap before hand. That should get you through a session.
>>48141979
Beat me to it.
Just set your alarm and then go ahead and pass out.
>>48141995
Also caffeine if you're groggy when you wake up. If you already drink too much of that shit it wont help though.

B/G Delirium looks interesting, especially those creatures that becomes bigger when delirium is activated. But I guess all the cool kids play Bant CoCo or G/W Tokens.
Is anyone here into really cheese-tastic cliche 70s/80s power fantasy RPG trappings? Like Fighting Fantasy books, the covers of Infocom games and CYOA books, basically cheesy stuff influenced by LOTR and heavy metal album covers. I don't know why I like this shit so much. Gonna dump some cheesy stuff.
I JUST OPENED A BETA EDITION BOOSTER PACK AND GOT A MOX SAPPHIRE TRIPS AND I BURN IT

First off; prove it
Second, don't burn it, just rub your dick all over it and then sell it online

What's so powerful about this? It looks like a basic island that is not a land card.
Does anyone have any advice on making a solar in exalted?
I've been told there are a lot of traps in the character creation system because the points you start out with are worth more then xp later in the game, but this doesn't make sense to me.
Can someone elaborate/show examples?
>>48140946
most of the exalted artwork sucks but i like that picture
>>48140946
Edition?
Also Solars are the easiest to make.
Alright. My local games workshop store is almost all tau players with a single chaos player.
Myself and a friend are imperial guard and we've got a militarum tempestus player that may be joining us.
Could we win fighting three different tau players?

Almost all tau players. Must be rather boring tau fightin each other.
Can you win. yes, definitly.
Will it be hard. Maybe.
If the tau lists are too strong, ask them to tone it down, it should be in their interest to have not-tau on the tables.you can always remodel your Imperial Guard into Gue'lla Guard for the Tau Empire
play a milita and cults list from 30k or a solar aux list use arvus landers rather than chimeras and just keep moving. you will win.
I was trying to find a suitable system to run a MH game, ifound a D&D5 module on lelditt but it's not what i'm looking for.
What i want is a game much closer to the videogame, i have a couple of ideas on how to deal with carving, crafting and upgrading making it pretty much like the game only easier (to take out grinding since that could result in boring sessions without a real feel of progression by the players).
Classes will be based on the weapon one intends to use the most with a tiered system of abilities (something like the SW rpgs from FFG) with the possibility to multiclass in other weapon trees.
I've yet to decide what to do with the combat system and it's the biggest part of the game so i'm kind of on hold because of that.
What do?
Strike! has a pretty simple combat system; you can just make the weapon the class/role of the character (or tie one of it to the character, or have only feats tied to the character... lots of options there), have better materials for crafting act as leveling up in the weapon's class. It even has ideas for "elemental wheel" kind of stuff.
Even if you don't take anything else from it, it's worth a look.
>>48139858
interested on how you can capture the Mh feel in RP, MH is a pretty combat based game and i wonder how well that would translate into a pen and paper - considering sitting and saying "i hit the rathalos with my weapon" for 30 odd turns would get very boring
>>48140844
Exactly why a good combat system is important.
But yeah, you'll probably want something interesting to happen aside from Monster Hunting. If not saving the world just one-upping the other guild.

MTG ban list predictions for July 18th?
>>48139828
What I hope happens: Stoneforge Mystic unbanned in Modern, no other changes to any format.
What aggrobabies hope will happen: Nahiri, the Harbinger banned in Modern, Terminus banned in Legacy.
What will actually happen: No changes to any format
>>48139871
>implying aggrobabies give a fuck about Legacy
>>48139871
Banning Nahiri is something I could see happening. WoTC wants Modern to be a creature format, and just like Twin, Nahiri is a card that ruins aggrobabies' "fun". In other words, as far as WoTC is concerned, the card can burn in a pile of Splinter Twins
So I was reading Codex: Inquisition and it mentions Ordo Xenos Inquisitors infiltrating alien societies to soften them up for invasion.
How would you best run a campaign where players are infiltrating an alien society to help the inevitable extermination?
Any ideas would be helpful, I'm trying to run something interesting for Dark Heresy. Mostly I'm trying to figure out how to make the aliens sympathetic without being heavyhanded, and how to best make the PCs basically feel like space invaders.
>>48139766
The only place I can think of where that would work is in a Tau controlled world or outpost.
>>48139805
More likely some minor xenos that don't know about the Imperium or the wider galaxy and are basically restricted to one system.
>>48139902
More what I was going for.
We always have threads about how aliens would react to us, or just what we wish aliens would say about us.
We almost never touch on what our society's reaction to alien cultures could be. Especially things we would consider abhorrent.
Like say we meet a friendly alien species who, for procreaton, have to brutally rape their females. Like, consensual sex absolutely will not result in a pregnancy, and neither gender derives pleasure from the act. Both the males and females of their species don't see anything wrong with it, but most of Earth obviously does.
What...

I believe our reaction would be "Fuck off space niggers, we're full" Accompanied with an image of our finest alien pepe
First off, please don't let this be magical realm.
Secondly, what if they don't reproduce via sexual reproduction?
Thirdly, in all honesty, I think aliens can be broken down into several categories, based on "how" alien and strange they are.
Familiar: For the most part, they think in similar ways to us. They have similar values or their analogues, and can be treated as an exceedingly exotic culture, but nothing too strange.
Strange: Communication is possible, but there are several core differences in the process of thought between...

We are just going to pirate their movies, vidya, and RPGs.
They will most likely do the same.
It will be an endless circle.

Sounds like a fucking mess.
QUESTION PAINTERS.
I'm working on my daemonettes for Fantasy, and I'm going with a spider/drider themed Slaaneshi force.
The issue is, I'm torn on what the skin color should be. I wanted to do a grey-blue/purple for the dark elf theme, but I'm using red and black for the pieces of armor. What do you guys think I should do? Paint it blue/purple, or just paint it black?
That seems like a very dark colour scheme in general.
A pinkish purple

40k lore says I'm supposed to want to fuck that thing?
No.
