In regards to tq, which looks stronger now, Hunter Clade or Nemesis Claw? Getting back into the game and practicing for a tourney and not sure which one to practice more. I played Hunter Clade last year and they seemed pretty strong, but idk if they've gotten any nerfs since or have been pushed out by the newer teams yet?
>>
>>92600469
Nemesis Claw is hard to say, they have an unusual combination of strengths and weaknesses and there aren't a lot of people who've even tried them yet so practical experience and data is limited.
Hunter Clade actually got buffed early this year, making their rerolls easier to trigger mostly. I played them myself and they felt plenty strong.
The only thing I can think of is that Nemesis Claw, like all marine teams, get hard-countered by Kasrkin (especially since Kasrkin can nullify their team wide ability), so Hunter Clade might not have that weakness. If you know there'll be a lot of Kasrkin in the tournament, it'd be safer to go Hunter Clade.
I don't think either will disappoint though, whichever you pick it'll come down to your own skill.

A bunch tried that a few years back with the traveller wiki, attempting to colate everything that had ever been published for Classic; GDW, FASA, Judges Guild, plus the content of decades of fanzines and player forums, but they got booted off it as much of the old stuff conflicted with simplified and badly though out drivel (sorry, official canon) Mongoose wanted to sell at the time.

I would still say “setting up” is important in CT, but it’s all stuff that happens before the combat
Range, having appropriate weapons and armor, and getting the ambush can all be extremely important to the outcome of combat. If you’re a marine you already have some combat skills and a leg up
>>
>>92596320
Most likely the crews would be people who have learnt to tune distractions out and manage to deal with hours to days of little activity (and on a small ship, that shouldn't be a lot because a small crew means everyone has to put in work checking that the dials are not in the red and your Space 80s computer hasn't blown a circuit). In fact, I would say spacers in Traveller are much like ship crews in modern times: people who actually *want* to do that shit, and learn to take the good with the bad. One of my uncles was one of these: he hadn't seen a ship larger than a rowboat before enlisting on a tramp freighter as a second signaller. He ended up doing 20 years at sea, turning into a real sea dog in the process.

How could you improve on The Witcher's setting and story?

Feels like a world where fantasy species live as second class citizens to or are outright oppressed by humans (and it's implied that this is a cycle with every new major species arriving from the Conjunction of Spheres) has a lot of potential for unique worldbuilding and a wealthy variety of stories but what we actually got was kind of bland and unoriginal.

>>92595237
The Witcher author is pretty left-wing. Or at least inso much he criticizes far-right nationalism, given the good guys are always a diverse band of outcasts- Witchers themselves are treated as second-class citizens, genetic mutants and freaks to be shunned despite their incredibly useful skills and role in society. He also pillories Geralt for thinking he's an enlightened centrist who is above the petty squabbles of the settings main factions because him refusing to take a side often ends up as being the worst possible action.

That said- the bad guys the Nilfgaardians are portrayed as a mix of the Nazis and Soviets, but they lean more Soviet given the Nilfgaardians actually treat the elves pretty decent and thus the elves often side with Nilfgaard, and then as a result elves get double-persecuted for not being 'loyal' to the northern kingdoms oppressing them. The whole thing is framed as these are the stories of the Northern Kingdoms that persisted and became culturally influential despite that they inevitably fell to Nilfgaard and a new chapter of history began thereafter.

>literally covering up the existence of elven nazis
well, that's pretty wild
also technically not nazis but merely 'supremacist'- there's no single elven nation I know of
but at least it answers my question of 'what kind of elves would willingly team up with drow?'

If they cover-up groups like that, do you think there are some elven serialkillers out there in faerun who get covered by them just because the harpers can't stand the thought of evil elves existing at all?
imagine going to court and being like

I've got another question regarding 4ed rules, if I play BA, I can field only BA units, right, not general SM units? BA codex only lists BA units in the army list.
>>
>>92600477
Wasnt that codex a supplemental add-on? I don't think individual marine chapters started getting their own full codices until templars at the tail end of 4th.

So no, I think you get everything in the BA list and everything from the vanilla marine list, unless certain units are prohibited.
>>
>>92600477
>>92600633
The 3rd ed one was an add-on, 4th edition had a standalone codex in white dwarf and as a pdf.

As long as I can make a beeline towards one of the Eight Cities, I should be fine. I might even get lucky and be plopped by one of the 3 that ISN'T ruled by an immortal psychopath, and just an immortal jerk. The trick is not getting killed and eaten in the vast stretches of untamed wilderness between said cities.

It's a bad system for running EVA, focusing far too much on the pseudo symbolism of "oooooohhhhh but the ANGELS are HUMANS under another forms! And so are the EVAS!" to actually feature what EVA fans actually want. It's a game made for people who have 50 different OCDonutsteels in every imaginable canons and more than a pony to their name.

Get MAGIUS EVA instead. It's a game that was commissioned by GAINAX ahead of EoE.
>>
>>92600073
Isn't Magius basically unplayable? Like, not in a 'I don't like the rules' way but in a 'it depends on a core rulebook that literally isn't available anymore' way.
>>
>>92600245
You can run it with just the EVA books. They're all on the Internet archive. An italian guy translated them during the lockdowns.

From playing them, Im gonna give you 3 advice
>Start with an angel attack, from the get go.
The game isn't very challenging if you let your players build up at first. Keep them on their toes.
>Hardcap the Positron rifles
Your players will see the big damage number and essentially create an artillery battery otherwise and exclusively try to get more.
>Work has no use, give it one
The 'support' characters your heroes also control have a stat named work which has no use following RAW. I ruled that 'everything that doesn't fit within Science or support is work.' and that fixed the issue.

This model REALLY highlights one of the main things I hate about the new models.
Look at how flat the surfaces are. Almost all the detail is painted on flat surfaces to make it look like it has detail, but the figure itself is almost all totally flat surfaces.

The first two are just GW overshooting the sweet spot, there was a room for improvement from WFB but they went past it and then some.
The third is arguably the biggest issue since some common exaggerations shared by different factions go a LONG way to build a cohesive feel for all sculpts within the game.

TL&HR was also one of the first stories I've read in years where the author evidently read the actual Nid codexes, as portraying it as a resentful retard (especially since the BA are nowhere close to being it's most common or even most dangerous enemy) is completely at odds with how it's presented everywhere else (where it's pragmatic to a sociopathic degree). TL&HR was by contrast wonderfully accurate, and having a POV for the Hive Ships was kind of nice. I don't think Bioships are smarter than the Queens or Tyrants that work to feed them though, they're more like giant space cows. With tentacles.
