Apparently 4chan is coming back soon-ish but I must say I've liked it here, despite being a tad too slow, I enjoyed being able to post multiple files, audio on all boards, etc.

Been playing the Metal Gear Solid board game on TTS lately, it's pretty good! It really replicates the video game to a T, it's super clear Emerson Matsuuchi is a real fan of the series, I hope they expand on it or make a sequel with MGS2. Been playing it Solo with only Snake but after I finish I'll most definitely replay it with extra characters and maybe even design my own missions. Have you anons tried it yet?

>>3011 it's fun but difficulty felt inconsistent in the campaign, or maybe i just suck at sneaking when there's no gimmick like "kill everyone" or "haha fuck you boss battle time" involved

This is a quest revolving around survival despite the unexpected cruelty of the universe, that has turned what should have been the eventual exploration of the stars to a mad dash for survival. The inspirations will be obvious to those that go ahead so I won’t explain them. Instead it will be better to go ahead and state how this stage of the quest will go. You as the players are in charge of putting the final touches on the Trifect as it prepares to leave. You are also in command on when it will try to launch as well-which is good, since time is precious in this perilous situation. Turns will occur in 2 month intervals on the 8 month year for Nat’oar, and in a little over a year the first effects of the solar winds are projected to hit and likely impact your ship. 250 PU is budgeted to you in order to purchase both subsystems and cargo. The former is limited to 2 maximum per turn. While you can order any amount of cargo-PU baring special circumstances will not be gained, and of course you will need enough space to carry it. Lest you waste precious resources. Each will also hold mass and effect how fast your ship can go depending on the thrusters you select. Do also take in consideration that your ship needs to fit it all too. You will also be granted 1 research action for any subject, though it is incredibly unlikely to result in a major breakthrough. From refining technology, improving subsystems, to just expanding your knowledge base for when you arrive, it is key to a smart plan. Use it wisely-for I will not give you any topics. You will have to come up with it yourself.

Fuck off you attention whore.

>Has anyone here played Summoner Wars? Yes, I have played a little of first edition and a lot of second edition. >Should I get the new one or the one from 2009? Definitely 2nd edition. The first edition was a classic to my understand (I only played it years later) but it has a lot of bugs in its design that 2nd edition fixes. I’m not sure how much you know about how factions are designed in Summoner Wars but each one has a few different types of common units, usually about 4-5 cards worth as well as a handful of unique champions. In first edition the power disparity was so lopsided in the favor of champions that optimal play was to kill your own units to gain magic so you could quickly summon your champions. Then you’d play a game of trying to snipe the enemy summoner. 2E fixed this by making it so that you don’t gain magic by killing your own units anymore and made commons in general a lot stronger. It plays a lot closer to how it was intended than 1E, to the point that the only thing 1E has going for it is generally better art.

Blood Bowl files >/folder/yd0Q0SSb#EbUd8n82xoIgQtjLiV3--g

>>2946 Finished adding files here. Iive got a lot of Podcasts and 3D printer files I'd like to add but thats way more than the 20GB mega gives for free cloud.

>>2461 >Keep in mind this is a lot closer to a simplified wargame than a TTRPG in most cases. 100% this. Lancer should've been a Wargame rather than an RPG. A buddy of mine have workshopped ideas on playing an IRL lancer game and between the logistics of actually getting enough tokens, templates and minis to play plus playing without COMPCON or the Forge module, it feels like it would be AIDs to run on a table. That being said, Lancer is fun if you ignore the bullshit and just do your own thing with your friends. There is some house ruling you'll have to do to iron out the experience but it still is a fun game when played casually online. Some houserules we use in my group are: >Drones are Characters, full stop. With 0's in all stats when rolling saves or making checks. >Pilots take double damage from mech weapondry. Also it doesn't help that Masstif Press are massive faggots that can't help but inject their personal politics into whatever they're doing at the moment. Their discord mods are even worse from the stuff I've seen. >>2468 In my group we just play on the Long Rim and ignore the core. Glory to Harrison Armory!!

>>2762 >the last image Took you long enough to figure that out, huh? I think the art in the original book's release should have tipped you off sooner, because it looks like every other shitty leftist comic. Seriously, the art is really funny. I flipped through the PDF again of the core book and I couldn't find a single white man or a normal looking person until page 179. Every other woman happens to have a nose ring too.

>>2762 I got the same read on the rules. Total ass to run pen and paper. But, apparently there’s a guy trying to do for Lancer what Baldur’s Gate did for DnD. It’s called Lancer Tactics. It doesn’t have everything but apparently it has the basics.

>>1578 I don't think I have ever seen any hate toward mantic. I always figured it was because they are a bit more obscure and not constantly in the spotlight like GW is.

>>1221 I don't know anyone who plays Mantic's stuff. It's all Warhammer and Star Wars Legion at my LGS, although there's a growing Battletech community

>>1768 I haven't seen anyone else play it either. Just means I get to be the first one.

Looking at giant charts of numbers is borderline videogame-backend and not fun You are doing machine sorting, manually. There is nothing engaging with looking at number charts. There is no player imput on looking at number charts, finding stuff in number charts, and declaring an output in number charts. Critical hit charts are fun when you use it once. You get a laugh at the result "If you hit 18 a small goblin comes out and steal your socks lol", the table laughs, it's fun. After that, you quickly learn the outcomes and becomes stale like, by the second time you roll 18 "yeye the goblin, ok"

>>2744 >You are doing machine sorting, manually. Isn't that the DM's role?

Why use them when there are better ways? Nobody wants to pause the game and go look at a chart when they can just + a number onto their roll.

Any requesters from 4chan? I made a piece before the purge but never delivered

>>1102 Requesting my orcess going full lord of the lash, cause where there's a whip, there's a way.

>>2771 The official GW position is that all teams will be supported until at least 2027, just compfags won't be allowed to play all of them at official events. As someone who tries to avoid playing against those types this is almost a blessing In addition I'd be very suprised if a new edition in '27 ends up being a total reset that doesn't allow any models from the existing teams to be fielded >>1581 >>1580 As a miniature agnostic skirmish game, what does this have over OPR firefight? I feel like it has less flavor and the lack of factions may lead to most teams feeling somewhat samey

>>2784 >As a miniature agnostic skirmish game, what does this have over OPR firefight? As far as I know from looking at the rules, I think Renegades seems more focused on being more flexible with what miniatures can be used than OPR FireFight. Which as far as I know, OPR FireFight is basically Kill Team backup edition. But in a way both of them are. I'll admit I haven't played either. Can't seem to find anybody interested in playing at the LGS.

>>2784 >what does this have over OPR firefight? It is a lot faster for one. Speaking as someone who played both I can probably fit like 2 matches of renegades in the same time it takes to play 1 OPR match. I think it would also be a lot more balanced. >>1851 >>1857 Looked up and yeah. The creator is apparently a dude who currently works at Dice. His name is Patrick Murphy, Doesn't sound like a Swedish name though. Might be an immigrant. Cover art is by one Joakim Ericsson which is definitely a Swedish name.

>>331 Not going to lie, even though it is a fortnite clone, vampire the masquerade blood Hunt is pretty fun so far, but I'm terrible at video games in general haha

>>333 My wife plays a malkavian but she does it pretty well, she took the traits to be able to eat and drink and appear like a normal human, and one of her malkavian things is that she's extremely apprehensive about admitting that she is a vampire, even to herself, she's convinced that she is just a goth cosplayer

>>512 Tremere is the best Clan & let me tell you why. >Start off as mortals >Steal their way i to being vampires >Even go so far as to have their leader eat Saulot to claim legitimacy >Fought one of the bloodiest wars in vampire lore against all comers >Create gargoyle slaves out of other vampires >All kindred fear them & distrust them >They then go on to found the Camarilla & get the other Clans to sign on >They go & forcibly purge all other Tremere that don't fall into line with a huge ritual They forced their way into vampire society & basically out vampire'd the vampires at their own game. The may come off as untrustworthy book worms, but they have balls the size of kansas.

Honestly, almost every 5e module sucks in some way, even the most popular Strahd one is awful to use for the GM. The best module content for 5e is when they do those compilations of adventures, you can just plop them in a game you like without it having to be a whole ass campaign. But that only really applies to them adapting old content, when they make new short adventures they fucking suck too.

Descent into Avernus' biggest sin is that the players don't go to Avernus with the city they go down separately, makes no sense

Are you familiar with Warhammer's Enemy Within campaign? It was originally conceived to explain certain map inconsistencies. For example in some maps you can see a province named Sudenland and in others the province is gone. The writers came up with this idea that the province (and others) was dissolved by Emperor Karl Franz in late 2512 after its rulers were caught plotting against the empire, collaborating with Chaos cultists. (They weren't chaos cultists themselves, they were just opportunists) its actually a really cool way to fix inconsistencies within the setting instead of just handwaving them. Props to the writers for that. Enemy Within is basically Warhammer: The Manchurian Candidate. The premise for the campaign is AMAZING. The idea is, chaos cultists are trying to kill Karl Franz and manipulate the Imperial succession in order to put a chaos cultists in the throne. Which isn't easy to do because the Empire has an electoral monarchy. So they've organized this huge conspiracy to gather the votes they need. They've also created huge problems within the empire and plan to have their candidate fix them in order to win more votes. It's brilliant. Sadly the campaign itself is TRASH. Nine of what I've said so far ever comes into play at any point in the campaign Let's start with Volume I. The PCs visit a festival in Bogenhafen and investigate some mysterious disappearances. They find out a chaos cult is abducting people and preparing a ritual to open a huge chaos portal in the middle of the city! The book mentions in passing that this will benefit the Manchurian Candidate since he will lead troops into the city and close it. However... this is not the actual goal of the cultists trying to open the portal. They're being manipulated by a daemon. The daemon is connected to the Manchurian conspiracy, but hes trying to open the portal for lols. He's not actually working to advance it. Seriously. What a mess. Volume II. The PCs follow clues obtained in Volume I and track down a sorceress who corresponded with the cultists from Bogenhafen. She's trying to obtain a magic item. She's not connected to the conspiracy at all. Shes not even aware it exists. It is one big side quest. At the end of the volume you HAVE to let one of the enemies run off with the special magic item or Volume IV falls apart. Volume III. The PCs travel to a big city and get involved in a big conspiracy there. Some cultists are planning to have an elector count killed and replaced with a magical doppelganger. This specific elector actually controls 2 votes in the election. You'd think they're doing this to advance the Manchurian candidate conspiracy.... but NO. They're just doing it for themselves. They want to rule the city. They are power hungry. They have no interest in the election. Wtf. Keep in mind that at this point in the campaign, 3/5ths of the way in, the Pcs are still NOT aware of the Manchurian candidate plot Volume IV. Another big side quest. The PCs stop a skaven plot. It's not related to the Manchurian candidate conspiracy at all. (Well actually the skaven did some mercenary work for the cultists but this isn't developed at all) Volume V. The elector counts gather to discuss the future of the empire. Karl Franz is very ill. There is no actual election. No intrigue. No politics. Lol. The PCs rush to recover a magical item and then there's a boss fight at the end. There's There's much wasted potential here. The books themselves are awesome and worth buying just for all the info they have. But the campaign itself is terrible

>>1577 Yeah, fortunately I'm blessed with having plenty of friends and potential players who don't have D&D brainrot and are happy to try out a large variety stuff. WoD isn't my usual cup of tea, because even though I really like the lore and system, I don't feel too confident running it compared to other conventions, but we're having fun so far. Though the players are a bit more murderhobo than I expected them to be, but that's a given I guess. I have to finally wrap the campaign up since we've been near the end for a long time, but scheduling has been more and more of a problem lately

>>336 I preffer Vigil. Just getting random superpowers from a anonymous benefactor isn't as interesting to me as a monster hunter set-ups as several groups of different conspiracies and agents stealing/adapting/understanding some of the monsters powers and using it against them.

the party accidently summoned the Sultan of Flesh after the mad scientist's side quest in total nigger death Hawaiian edition went wrong. How fucked are we?

>>1263 You know now that I think about it that does sound kinda cool. Problem is that it would require everyone to have a projector. They could also just look at the table through their phone I guess. but imagine doing that for a whole session?

>>1263 I'd love to have a virtual AR/VR tabletop, but the technology would need to be more widely adopted. The Oculus Quest 3 for example can do mixed reality using their pretty good colored cameras for example, so we can very easily do that stuff today. The main issue is that not everybody has or wants to have a Quest 3 or the like.

>>1263 Can't you do that with VRchat already?

>>2285 sounds about right for the length of a Gloomhaven campaign

>>2285 I wonder if anon did get Frosthaven after all this time.

>>2283 I found it was more fun in person. You get to spend time with friends, have some laughs, it became a monthly get together for us. Better than just a random board game because there was a sense of progression.

>>931 Well I can give it a try. Just send me the program and ill try and get it running.

>>531 i think you misuse the term "waifu" and thusly need to fuck off

>>2284 You're responding to a 3 year old post
