I don't get behind the naming of the tyranids.
I mean, I know GW's IoM uses an own version of latin and invents new words and so on. But tyranids don't make any sense at all to me.
Carnifex. Carni for meat/flesh (understandable) and fex for "producer" or "maker"?
I understand it sounds nice, but how is a Carnifex meant to "produce" meat and not eating/absorbing it? (-trophe)
Zoanthropes/Venomthropes.
Anthropos, like, "human"? What? Doesn't make any sense at all to me.
Weirdly, in the german version they're called Zoantrophen/Toxotrophen. I don't know if it's because GW thought germans couldn't pronounce it correctly or they acknowledged their fuckup and changed it to -trophe for "eating" which makes sense for tyranids.
So, am I missing something or doesn't GW give a damn about naming their creations plausibly?
Because Latin and Gothic are not the same language
Carnifex= The executioner
in latin

>Carnifex.
Butcher. As in this beastie will butcher people.
>Zoanthropes
From Zoanthropy, a madness where people believe they are animals. Weaker connection, but basically because they're crazy psychic animals.
>Venomthropes
Later day Tyranid unit with no thought behind it besides it shares a look with the Zoanthorpe but is poisonous.

I like Eberron a lot, though I haven't gotten to play in it long-term at all.

I like the Realms, to be honest. I understand that a lot of people don't, and I understand that I don't care.

The Pure are still terrible enemies of the Forsaken. Just cuz there's a few settings where there's a truce doesn't mean the two factions are buddy-buddy by any stretch.The Forsaken in Bristol are trapped in the city by the Pure, and anyone who leaves gets murdered outright.
Not to mention they are, if nothing else, a source of Sacred Prey for the Blood Talons that relatively few werewolves are going to raise a stink about.
>>46099407
I suppose that at some point both groups are going to have to contend with Lycaon-Ur, this will not end well for anybody.
What are some good sourcebooks on dragons? Preferably exclusively draconian, not just generic bestairies that cover a wide variety of monsters.
>>46098993
Assuming 3.5e, the Draconomicon.
>>46099021
Any system.
>>46099065
Draconomicon is pretty sweet. It is the only rulebook I kept when I realized I would never play 3.5 again, because the fluff and the art is so good.
Worth grabbing.
Other than that I would look at non-gaming literature as well. There are some really good "guidebook" style books out intended for kids/teens with beautiful art.
Swing by your local bookstore and take a look!

>So I could just build my own [3D printer] and not buy that fairly low-res one they sell at Best Buy?
Yeah, although it will take a lot of time and some tools. You can actually find most of the wiring, motors, etc. you need inside a couple of old busted VCRs; the controller, the heating element, and the software are the "hard" parts, and you can still scavenge or buy those much more cheaply than the Best Buy kit. Just be prepared to put a couple weeks of hobby-time work into it. You can also use a lower-res printer to make more precise parts for itself, and gradually tighten up your own machine. It's an extremely popular project, you can find plans for most skill levels all over the net.
Better tools make it faster, but if you're very careful you can make a basic 3D printer with a hacksaw blade, a square, a ruler, a saw, a pin vice, and some screwdrivers. It's going to look godawful and take a month of work, but it'll function.

I dunno if you can include the non-Delirium mode in the Delirium wording like that. I mean otherwise, the card text would be way more crammed than it already is, but I'm still not sure about it. It's funny how the new card frames allow for wordier cards though, and even WotC takes advantage of that now too. That said I like it, but I dunno if it's possible to put it together this way.
/tg/, how do I effectively combat skeletons?
>>46097490
Remember that his weapon is just there to distract you. Use bludgeoning weapon!
>>46097490
Blunt weapon types, holy damage type and focus on disabling movement so you can coupe de grace them at your leisure rather than battlefield destruction.
Tactics are trickier. They can attack in swarms, coordinated elite groups or single superhuman warriors. Funneling the prior two into killzones and trapping the latter is effective.
Removing the skull is not automatically lethal but is usually highly disruptive to the skeleton and massively weakens their combat potential.
Avoid fights if you can assassinate their summoner. Focus down the necromancer if possible.

m8s, you gotta help me with this. You seem like the board genies of this 4chan board and I need someone to figure out the clues on how to find a game for me.
Like, it should be easy to google, but no, fuck that shit. I know it's not "Colt Express" or any of that shit. The board game in itself had no board, it had a fucking electronic train that the colorful bandits had to climb upon. They also had to get go through various buildings that were also made out of plastic. I don't fucking know what the goal was, probably getting onto the moving train and shit like that.
Since I come from Germany, it might be a german guy, but the fuck do I know, I haven't played it since 1999.
This is giving me diarrhea from not finding it (I used to have it once a week around 4pm) and I want it to stop.
