>Go after the footprints immediately.
The footprints in the alchemical mud are clear- two sets of them leading off further into the dark basement. Do they belong to Eva and Hom? You can only assume so. You check the pot just in case but it’s completely empty. What have they done?
Well one thing’s for sure and that’s that you’re not going to be wandering around in the dark. You pull a Sun Potion from your bandoleer and give it a shake. There’s a slight hiss as...

Looks like GW is bringing tournies back.

There is a point system for Age of Sigmar as well.
After years of tears and gnashing of teeth? What say you /tg/?
Possibly too late, but there are signs that GW is starting to realize how retarded they are.
>>46080393
Too little. Too late. Not a tournament player so they're putting a bandaid on the arm when they need to be fixing the broken leg
>>46080393
To little to late.
The rules are still really bad so it'll just be flyers and deathstars for days.
Dunno why I would suffer any GW sanctioned event when I could just play WHM for WAAC faggotry, Infinity for Kurwa, Xwing for cheap and quicks, etc.
Any naval historians here? My friend insists that the Hood is a Battleship, not a Battlecruiser. He says that it had Battleship levels of armour, and a battleship main armamament, but wiki says it was a Battlecruiser.
I'm trying to classify it for a naval game I am working on, and I want to put it in the right category. Oh, and is it true that it had the most armour of any British battleship of the time?
>>46080308
The Brits called it a BC, though it could also be considered a fast battleship. The terminology could get a little fuzzy due to the fact that every navy seemed to have slightly different definitions of where to draw the line between BB and BC.
>>46080308
She is a battlecruiser for all I care.
Still, those are just classifications that vary by classification system.
>>46080308
It's a Battlecruiser - speed of a cruiser, armour and weapons of a Battleship. Classifications were rapidly changing at this time, but we classed it a BC.

This place is sooo warm and soft. I smile happily, flapping my wings and scattering silvery dust all over the blankets and pillows around me, sparkling for a second before its shine dies out. I run my hands under a bunch of blankets, trying to curl up with out catching my chitin on anything while my fiery eye lights up the dark room, throwing away the shadows in the pillow fort me and Minor made as I roll over...

hey Hm when you going to update Adela's sheet? And if you did you forgot to update the 83rd reputation since we got two boosts to it.
How come Pauper isn't a more widespread format in paper? Considering the amount of people who want to play a non-rotating format but also have budget constraints, you'd figure i'd be more common to see in stores and tournaments?
Because it isn't fun because 2-3 decks shit on everything else. Sortof why splinter twin was banned in modern, decks that are so good that people always play them and win unopposed is toxic for a format.
Paper Pauper isn't an official Magic format at the moment, but some game stores play it.
Many people underestimate the potential the format has, they usually only think about the fact that it's a common-only format.
>>46076909
Yeah, this unfortunately. If they changed the rules to only include cards that were never printed at any rarity other than common, and had a banlist, it'd work great and be the best format in the game. As it is, the meta is more stale than year-old bread, but it makes for a good casual/kitchen table format since it's cheap and gentleman's agreements can keep it from being stupid.
Is this more like a bastard sword or a greatsword?
longsword held by a manlet
12th & 13th centuries: greatsword
14th and onwards: greatsword if its only meant for use in both hands, bastard if it's meant to be useful both single and twohanded.

she's a 154cm manlet
Welcome to the City of Grandton! Founded over 500 years ago in the Year Of The Weakening 1512, Grandton was once a thriving small town in the heart of America! Even with the increasing supernatural phenomenae, Grandton seemed to hold out without assistance from the myriad Churches or government agencies that had sprung up in the aftermath of the Weakening...
You suppose their luck just failed them eventually.
You are Junior Exorcist Marcus for the Church of the Forbidden Spirit. Grandton has recently experienced what the government calls a "Class III Spiritual...

It will be no good if we get process so easily.

I assume we have other ways of hurting/banishing spirits than the amulet so some protection is needed
Although the mask seems nice aswell
What is it about tabletop that is so appealing for women, that makes them stick with it longer than other "nerd hobbies" like comicbooks and videogames?
>>46075813
The attention of being some of the few women in that particular clique, and the appeal of fantasy allowing them to live out their desires.
Woman table top gamers?
THIS IS NOW AN ERP THREAD
board games
but the actual nerdy tabletop shit isn't exactly what I'd call a chick magnet.
Let's roll up some Empire knights /tg/. I feel like writing something for 1d4chan.
What is the order’s age? (1d100)
Rolled 5 (1d100)
>>46075430
Primordial: This order dates back to the founding days of the Empire, when the concepts of knighthood and nobility were still new amongst the race of Men. The fathers and grandfathers of these earliest knights may have even fought alongside Sigmar Unberogen himself
We're old as hell!
Now, what god do we follow? (1d100)
Rolled 20 (1d100)

How do you balance Werewolves and Vampires?
It's seems like between the esoteric magic, hypnotism, and ability to make hundreds of thralls Werewolves don't stand a chance.
Hell one could argued without the crippling effect of being vaporized by the sun Werewolves could operate easier and gain more power without having a easily discernable pattern to mortals. But beyond that what do they have super speed, strength, and reflexes once a month? Hell some incarnations of Vampire also get that for free
So how do you balance them? Also how do you have...

I made too many mistakes while typing that
>>46075366
I prefer my Wolfman and vamps to be able to be in their supernatural forms at will, or at least functional powers at night. Werewolf are the big YUGE brawlers that will maul your shit, while a vampire would rely on shadows and magic to shove a sword up your ass.
Other than that, the usual weaknesses and powers, except for the control of forms.
>>46075366
You forgot to mention that Vampires also get to shapes gift into any creature of the night and also have a monstrous form
Went to a FLGS and remembered that it is actually a thing. I saw big fucking goddamn gundam robots named Imperial Knight, i went into the shop asked the seller and it is actually a regular army.
A few minutes later after a quick game demo i was back home with 5 knights + army book.
Is this any good ingame ?
I saw multiple combined list online but nothing with only knights. i don't care about competitiveness, but is it enjoyable with just knights ? How should i build them ?
Also, the art in the book is fucking good, is this art available online in QHD for my phone ?

Are you made of money, anon?

Probably would have been a good question to ask before dropping $500+ on those models.
>tfw there's like 5 dmpcs travelling with our party
This is boring. :/
>>46074630
>5 dmpcs
I have a friend who only has a dmpc because the rest of the party is borderline chaotic stupid and he's the balance so they don't kill themselves.. Why the hell are there five in their game.
>>46074725
Three of them are Changelings to help take the party into the hedge, one's a detective that is helping us find someone and one's a Mage that's to help with the macguffin.
The Mage is pretty useless, the whole party is getting dicked with those Oath things Changelings make but she's not using her 5 dots of Fate to actually do anything.

>literally any piece of music that was ever recorded or can be played also has magical properties
>literally anyone who has access to an MP3/CD player or can play a music instrument can now cast powerful spells
What happens, /tg/?
>>46074236
Has this always been the case or is this a sudden change in the fabric of reality? In the latter case sudden disintegration of society and possibly time and space due to widespread unwise magic use seems fairly likely.
/mu/ becomes even more hostile and hilarious than ever before.ROCKISTS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>46074236
It's a gradual change over the course of about a decade done exponentially, in the beginning it's just a few people, and at the end of the decade, thousands of people become able to use magic daily.
The more improtant question is: which genres represent what effects of magic?
So I will be running a Supers game for my group (likely M&M 2e) soon and wanted to know if you guys have any advice regarding the pitfalls of the superhero genre being brought out in RPG format. Tropes that work tropes that don't work. Ruinous powers you wouldn't expect. That kinda thing.
>>46073661
Run 3e rather than 2e.
>>46073661
Superheroes are my favorite subject matter of any form of consumable media, so I don't want for material to pull from. But bringing the unspeakably broad genre to life at the table requires expectations to be set and tone established so that everyone is on the same page. Everyone has a different idea in their head when they hear Superhero so on and so forth.
>>46073679
I like 2e better as a ruleset. It includes lethality and knockback in the base rules and includes a firm graduated damage benchmark as well as human limits scored out. This may be largely synthetic but it additionally feels like your points go further in 2e for a more personalized character sheet. Comparing a 3e sheet to a 2e sheet, 3e just has less to say about your character.
NIGGLING PERSONAL PREFERENCE. But I am open to convincing.
How do you run games, /tg/? How do you like them ran for you?
A) I make the party to win. They basically can't lose.
B) I plan for the party to win. They can 'fall forward' into victory as long as they don't do multiple obviously dumb things.
C) I don't really plan that far ahead.
D) My players fail more often than they succeed.
E) Other. Probably some kind of bullshit like "My players come out ahead with a little clever planning but would otherwise fail, yet inexplicably always succeed."
>>46073030
I go all out first session and then lose interest and make a token effort the next two, all the while praying the players realize I've lost interest early on.
>>46073030
I make my games fair and balanced. I play with my players not against them. I just make the way to victory challenging and interesting. If they rush ahead or do something stupid I will punish them, if they role-play well and solve the problems clever I reward them. In the end I'd love to see them win but if they fail - they fail. No fixed rolls or sudden saves.
In the end a lose can be the opening to a new adventure.
>>46073030
Probably B. I mean, it depends on the game, but I generally plan for the party to win, and failure is usually just success delayed.
