>I seduce the evil witch!Should this automatically fail? What do they expect to happen?
>>80679538Hey, it worked before.
>>80682191That is just a risk I have to live with>>80682362I used to do that, but over time I found it just detracted from the overall experience. Mostly because some of my players are really amazing at building good arguments but then they roll 1s and bring what could be an interesting debate to a halt.This doesn't apply just to flirting mind you. Arguing with a noble over important agenda. Trying to convince the lord to give you support. Making a case to the court. Etc.Once my players noticed that what they said didn't matter since the dice was the ultimate deciding factor, they just stopped caring, made all their lines dumb shit like "This guy is guilty because I saw him do the murder", and minmaxed to get high results even if the dice roll was low.So yeah, I just find that just rolling for the outcome of social situations is very bland and uninteresting. For a time I tried to do something like giving a bonus or a penalty depending on how good the RPing prior to that was, but that was more trouble than it was worth, and, again, you can just get far better bonuses if you just minmax your character or use the right items/spells.Sure, I still use rolls here and there for things like getting a lie to slip by unnoticed or to get the fighting to stop enough that the enemy is willing to *listen* to your point (but you still need to make it) and such.

>>80660166It is terribly not yourdudes and the rules related to army creation sometimes seem to be anti-fun with some more thematic army choices being relegated to total unplayable dogshit.It's still a good game though, it's much better than shit like warcry or kill team when it comes to a small scale game.
>>80682876>some more thematic army choices being relegated to total unplayable dogshitHuh?
>>80682876>it's much better than shit like warcry or kill team when it comes to a small scale game.Is it a small enough scale game to be comparable? I was under the impression it was closer to a proper wargame with models grouped into units instead of acting independently, with 30+ models per side on the table being the norm.
>>80683217It really isn't on the same scale, I guess unless you're doing something like all Ents. Old KT, the absolute biggest team you could field was 20, elite teams ran around 5 models, while horde teams would hit around 12. New KT has changed up the model count, Guard look like they're locked into 14 models and marines are going to be somewhere around 5-7 depending on the flavor. 14 is probably the max you can bring to the table though. Either way, the average amount of total dudes on a KT is around 14.
>>80681177>rogreIt comes down to personal preference. He has very compelling advantages and drawbacks. Personally, I put rat ogres in my skaven teams, but I'm very comfortable playing with fewer gutter runners and rerolls. The meta consensus is to skip him because he's unreliable and expensive.

>>80683365>>80683432Nice, I was about to ask what it was for. Keep us updated on how they like it.
>>80683498>>80683461How much did you have to remodel the rider for that? Also I didn't know those bikes were that nicely made. Been considering slapping them together with deldar reivers to make neon hiver bikergangs for CSM bikers.
So I just used my new liquid cement for the first time and I noticed that the brush in the pot is all fucked up. It's smooshed up against the bottom and its all splayed out. What do?
>>80683365>>80683432Really cool. Whats it made of?
>>80683774>How much did you have to remodel the rider for that?I had to green stuff her rifle-handle, chest and the space the bike took at the ass.The legs are exactly the same as they were on the bike, and her left arm is just from the ridgerunner box.> Been considering slapping them together with deldar reivers to make neon hiver bikergangs for CSM bikers.I think the jackal bikes would be too skinny for chunky space boys. You'd definitely need to widen the stearing of the bike
Post art and discussion of elves. Also, question, should elves have human skin tones or should they be purple, silver, red, gold, green, etc? Why or why not?Personally I think both are fine, but I wanna hear some other opinions.
>>80656773Is that character from Fantasian?
>>80682643>uses crossboarder as an insult>while monitoring several high traffic boards 24/7 to enter every thread that could conceivably relate to elves>only to contribute nothing to the discussion, spam the same TES fanart and act like a passive-aggressive wannabe janny noldorfag hypocrisy and mental gymnastics truly is a sight to behold
>>80683551Most people browse multiple boards, crossboarders bring their topic to where it doesn't belong.
>>80666915It's not the same if they don't resist.
>>80683635good, stop posting then.
Picrel is the final cave, it was so much fucking fun.Anyone living as no-games seriously just take the leap, it's not a meme this hobby is so much fun.
>>80683735>Anyone living as no-games seriously just take the leapI very strongly second OP on this. It's not that hard to start a game.
>>80683735Everytime I see simple gear like that, it always remind me of my early days of roleplaying.Cardboard mapping best mapping.Have fun fren.
>>80683735I'm glad you had fun OP welcome to the hobby.I'd invest in a whiteboard so you can reuse the surface
>>80683854I was drawing the map as the pcs were discovering it, it ruled. Cardboard and a sharpie gets the job done.
Probably Mage20 and Wraith20I have no idea because I don't know what group could play the game as intended in the book It seems most people just want to play the former game with power trips rather than asking why are mage here and why they want to do what they want with their power, the later simply is a filter.
>>80682440Play Mage the Awakening but reskin all the flavor and lore to be that of AscensionMuch better rules while also using Ascension's epic lore
>>80682440The best group would be people who understand and prize the same ideas and tone that you do. When I ran Mage, I was judicious in selecting only the most on-board members from my gaming groups for it. Three people, out of over a dozen friends. And a side-benefit is that, by having a smaller cast, you can focus on each PC and their relationships more effectively.Now, the game I'm most interested in playing is Jovian Chronicles, an old mecha game from the makers of Heavy Gear. Mecha is fairly niche, Jovian Chronicles is kind of clunky, so either I'm going to be the GM, or I need to find the right group. And I think that group would be people who know the system well enough to streamline it a bit in play, while still being the sort of folks to enjoy playing Gundam fanfiction.
>>80682440I'm a simulationist crunchfag but i also really like highly narrative games... too bad my group is stuck with d&d 3.x gamism and it's already a miracle that they let me GM gurps times to times.I just REALLY want to try to gm something like Primetime Adventures, Fate, Dogs in the Vineyard, Ars Magica or even just VtM but good fucking luck with that, every time i try to bring up the idea my players deflect it.
>>80682440You just posted it. Always thought Mage looked cool, but never got to play it myself and wouldn't know what to do if I was running it.
Ars Magica, basically wod mage but more autistic bookkeeping simulationism. (same origins too, order of hermes, tremere etc exist in ars magica also)It is difficult enough to find a mage group and it is even more difficult to find Ars Magica group so I'm out of luck.
I've been working on a post apocalyptic setting for an upcoming game that's thankfully been delayed until the end of August. But my ideas feel cheesy and obvious. I thought we might discuss post-apocalyptic settings and useful systems to run them with. We can discuss settings you've liked, hated, or dreamt of playing. But I'm looking for some specific elements.The goals I'm looking to achieve:A. Long time since the apocalypse happened. I want a new world, not a breaking one.B. Vestiges of modern life. I don't want modern life to be forgotten, just long ago.C. Current world can be very dangerous but not deathworld or dying.D. Wild, science-fiction elements of a world that was either further advanced than modern life or partially continued advancing after the apocalypse.E. Two differing aspects of the setting to bait and switch the game between. My current idea is a gathering of low level representatives from nearby surviving communities. They're gathered at an advanced community's location to negotiate interests with each PC having a goal they are pursuing. And then danger strikes and adventure ensues.Any thoughts?
>>80671714>about 10% survive.Why 10%, exactly?
>>80676630It "feels* small, 10% of the world's population is still a lot, and it's the mirror of decimation.
>>80671714>>80676630>>80677212In the new PLANET OF THE APES trilogy the Simian Flu wiped out about 90% of humanity. Then about 40% of the remainder died over the next five years by infighting, starvation and other diseases...In Will Smith's I AM LEGEND that disease killed off about 90% of humanity, and turned 90% of the survivors into vampires.So 10% sounds good, it still leaves enough people to be able to accomplish things.In H. Beam Piper's excellent sf novel SPACE VIKING one of the captain's tells about two types of worlds he's seen where civilization collapsed. The first is where too many scientists and technical people died and there was no one left who could keep the machines supporting civilization operational. The second was where there were so few people left that infrastructure could not be maintained.

>>80682497the bit he was angry at was that his DM told him an archfey warlock (social mage guy, as opposed to big tough fighterman he normally plays) would be good for the campaign and then there was nothing but zombies and all of his spells were useless because he didn't pack direct damage
