Ok, I've been collecting 40k for a while now, and joy of joys, my FLGS is finally going to be supporting it. I'm really eager and looking forward to it, but there's an issue. The guy who is now getting into it at the shop has Tyranids. He's running a weird army.
x2 Flyrant with Twin-Linked Brainleech Devourers
x2 Carnifex with Twin-Linked Brainleach Devourers
x2 15 Termigaunts with Devourers
x1 Warrior Brood with a Barbed Strangler
x1 3 Biovores
x1 Exocrine
x1 Tervigon
He parks his Biovores with Warrior escort on an objective, and his Tervigon on an objective. Then the rest swarm the shit out of me. Meanwhile I have...
x1 Smashfucker (no bike)
x1 5 Terminator Squad with Power Fists, Storm Bolters, and Power Sword on the Sergeant
x1 Venerable Dreadnought with Multimelta, Heavy Flamer, and a Powerfist
x1 10 Sternguard Squad with Storm Bolters, Flamethrower, Missile Launcher, with Meltabombs on the Sergeant
x2 10 Tactical Squad with Meltagun, Missile Launcher, with Meltabombs and a Teleporter Beacon on the Sergeant
x1 7 Seraphim Squad with Inferno Pistols on two of them, and a Power Sword and Plasma Pistol on the Superior
Without buying more models (hard times, mates), how do I combat this obscene list? I also have a squad of Militarum Tempestus with a grenade launcher and a heavy flamer, and a malleus inquisitor, but that'd put me way over the 1,500 point games we play. And I fear what else he'd bring to the table if I did that.

Here's the problem with your list:
- Smashfucker. Not only is he not on a bike to make him the best he can possibly be, he's not a good unit in general. All the Smashfucker hype is just morons being stupid on /tg/. A much better HQ would be Tigurius, Khan on a bike, or a Librarian on foot or a bike, and for 33% of the cost.
- Terminators that don't have storm shields. These are just plain bad. They are cool models, sure, but they're bad.
- Venerable Dreadnought. Ironclads,...

The issue is these are all models I've had for years, back when I just collected because they're neat. Now that I can play, I have no money, so I can't buy new stuff. Hell, my Sternguard are just the Black Reach tac squad, differentiated from my normal Tacs just because they have the raised arrow on their shoulderpad. The Marines are all Combined Arms, and the Seraphims are off on their own in an 'allied detachment' without an HQ because it's just a friendly game and I'm going to...

Anyone got the one story with the gravity knight? Also post classic /tg/ stories, ranging from BBB to Catan.

Does anyone have the story where a party gained the ire of a paladin of yaweh who's dialogue was all baneposting?
Why do literally all elves in all settings always have the exact same biology, history, culture, and relationships with other races (that may or may not exist or be completely different from setting to setting), so that I can ask a loaded question about elves without specifying in which setting and expect a single correct answer that applies to all elves in all settings?
Yes, this is what we need, more elf threads about nothing.
Rolled 1, 1 + 2 = 4 (2d6 + 2)
just a minute, OP
let me use your thread for a test
Why has it gone to shit so badly in the last few years?
There's no articles on half the interesting characters in most settings, no real critique on any of the modern fluff, system/setting variety is in the shitter, the decline of OC, the list goes on.
We have bullshit like massive, detailed articles on Age of Shitmar, of all things, with little in the way of any criticism. ( https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Warhammer:_Age_of_Sigmar )
But they can't be bothered to have more than token articles on stuff like:

Also, I should add that if you have concerns about moderation, posting on /tg/ is not going to automatically reach wikifag. He is easy to reach via IRC or email, go talk to him with specific complaints.
>>48095382
To piss you and specifically you off.
tg, how do you guys find groups or players? Are local game shops a good option? What are your experiences with groups at game shops?
I literally have no friends, never played a tabletop game but want to try and start, and don't know where to look for people to play with.
>>48095290
It really depends on your lgs and the people there.
listen faggot. do what I did. Go up to your local game store, make sure they have tablespace (that increases the odds of an rpg group running games there) ask the store owner or staff if there is a group that shows up regularly. If they say yes, ask what day and time they show up. Then show up on that day and at that time and ask the group if there is a spot open.
It worked for me 5 years ago, and I never regretted it. There are only two roadblocks I can think of 1)their group is already full, 2)They are the worst kind of players and dont like outsiders.
And don't look like a basement dweller. Shower, shave, smell nice. Etc. That will help.

And bring bribes in the form of snackies. Food is an excellent form of currency among the neckbeards we all know we are.
What if the act of casting a spell was kinda like human defecation?

Then this thread would make you a wizard.
My tiefling Sorceress would shit gold.
And everyone else would (correctly) call bullshit as she then becomes everything I want in a woman.
So....fart wizards?
Thought I might ask here: I'd like to run a Life Is Strange-esque game for me and a few friends, in as so far that I imagine a group of (mostly) ordinary people investigating strange happenings in and around their town.
More precisely, I'd like a focus on social interactions, cleverness & gumption, clue finding and problem solving, all without overtly super-powered abilities or a strong focus on combat (although not entirely without it).
The group is used to Atomic Highway, but as customizable that is, it makes for far too heroic characters.

There is, I believe, a GUMSHOE engine game which is made to play investigators in a high-school setting
>>48094524
Thanks; do you mean BubbleGumshoe? I have never played that system, would you recommend it in general?
>>48094904
that is the system I was thinking of, I know little to nothing about that specific system, I have run GUMSHOE games before however and they work well for investigative/mystery driven games, how well it functions as a high-school investigation game will therefore rest on how well the mechanics for social dynamics and such hold up

Does magic belong in the hands of anyone who can use it, or should it be restricted only to licensed agents of the state (or members of a guild with rules, a hierarchy, and restrictions on study) and otherwise criminalized and expunged?
I'm working on a homebrew setting for my next 5e game and could use /tg/'s input.
>>48094171
I dunno.
How does magic work in your setting?
To take from existing D&D settings, you could look at how Forgotten Realms implies that in theory anyone can learn magic, but because very few people are talented and have potential enough to self-teach, it kind of creates a sense of elitism among the people who developed their magical abilities, and as such they only pass on their knowledge to those they desire to.That then goes into deeper examples of just a mage who picks a young apprentice...

In my experience it depends entirely on just how easy it is to open a portal to hell in your setting

DnD 5e. That's how magic works in my setting.

You are Ophelia, twisted mentat and captain of the Spacing Guild Heighliner Exuberance, on a mission to explore wild space, surveying uncharted worlds to expand the bounds of the known universe. Last thread, you were busy inspecting the engineering deck, when you were lured outside the ship by a phantom noise only you could hear. During your spacewalk, someone tried to assassinate you.
The Heighliner is decelerating toward the habitable world Tloni 3, the third planet orbiting the binary star 1195 Tloni I. The choice that needs to be made immediately is whether you’ll continue with the mission as planned, or put the shore expedition on hold while you root out the plot to assassinate you. It’s possible that the attempt was intended to fail, as part of a scheme to either disrupt your plans, or to get you to continue them regardless. A feint within a feint.

The show must go on. The Exuberance continues deccelerating toward a parking orbit around the planet. Whoever tried to assassinate you is most likely prepared for either eventuality, no point in slowing your roll now while you track them down.
You knock back a thimbleful of sapho, cybernetic pedipalps grinding furiously against one another beneath your undershirt. Agilus, the auxiliary consciousness the Tleilaxu built into your brain for data processing...

Has anyone ever made a decent tabletop/p&p game around pro wrestling?
I don't know about made but we played one. It was amazing.
>>48092977
There are a couple of good systems. World Wide Wrestling is one, there's another one with a very similar name. One is based on an old system but new and improved by fans of the original, the other is an Apocalypse Engine game and is also well received by wrestling fans.
>>48093202
Neat. These actually sound somewhat promising.
Post things that annoy you about any aspect of traditional games.
Pic very related. Painters that think they're 'professionals' because they've discovered an airbrush. Who then proceed to try and sell it for quadruple the price of the miniature, just because of a shitty paint-job.
Is it just me that thinks these style of paint jobs look horrible?
If they continue to make money then someone out there disagrees with you.
If most of them make money that lots of people out there disagree with you.
They wouldn't do if if no one was buying.
Example: the Age of Sigmar starter set costs £75
This guy is trying to sell it painted for £950
Would you buy it?
>>48092973
It looks better than anything you could do junior.
