Elf Fashion Anonymous 11/28/2021 (Sun) 01:50:04 No. 423 [Reply] [Last]
What sort of attire do you think elves should wear as part of their culture? Human styled fantasy clothing? Fantasy nobility dress? What about in battles? There's really no set sort of mold that elves fit into attire wise the same way something like a dwarf, human, or hobbit does. Just think it'd be neat to know what kind of aesthetics people think fit with them.

Idea thread Anonymous 05/01/2023 (Mon) 20:31:43 Id: 3186ee No. 793 [Reply]
A thread for posting Ideas. Can be stories, Items, campaigns or even entire systems if you have an idea for those. I will start! So the idea is for a weapon, for reference I am going to use D&D rules. It is a sword simply called "Tyr". Its a +5 longsword but it has a curse that makes it so every time you enter combat you must do a willpower DC 15 saving throw. This is to represent the fact that the sword makes you feel far more afraid than normal. If you fail your character is paralyzed with fear and must overcome the DC 15 saving throw to snap out of it. On top of all of this you have disadvantage on any saving throws involving fear. Why does a sword named after the bravest of the gods make you afraid? its simple. The sword itself is a test of bravery, Only those who can overcome their fear are worthy of wielding it. Much like how Tyr, The bravest of the gods overcame his fears time and time again. DC check is probably way too high though. Any thoughts?

Destroy All Monsters style of campaign Make everyone huge and let them fuck shit up The enemies? Also huge Beat that giant with half a building, throw the monsterpede into a lake, stomp through the dumb enemies barrier, just go wild
Here's an idea: Try being original instead of copying copies of dungeons and dragons.
I've been kicking around one. Basically it's a tabletop version of Invader Zim, Destroy All Humans, and X-COM where you specifically play as alien invaders. The alien threat should most likely be a confederation of different alien races so the players have a lot of options for what to play, but some species would be naturally prone to animosity or better suited to all the same race. This would depend very heavily on session 0 play style to familiarize players with their options and the mechanics. Obviously something more like a xenomorph would be a lot harder to pull off and should have more specialized dice rolls for their character to succumb to instinct. Others could be grays, whose objectives would focus heavily on abductions and study. You really could mine quite a lot of pop scifi for player types and objectives. I would draw the line at lovecraftian entities simply because they're too powerful. I would however save that for NPC alien threats. Because I would also have modules structured around rival alien factions with different invasion methods and even more hostile attitudes, possibly even ones with active human collaborators. The emphasis should be on stealth, and the gameplay very objective-based. Humanity is very much a Humanity Fuck Yeah caliber of enemy mixed with some comic stupidity. The players should be an outlying force relative to their alien affiliation, possibly they crashed by accident, maybe they're the seed invaders meant to gather intelligence, but they shouldn't be the armada or mothership. Effectively blending in or hiding out would be critical to achieving their objectives. Players might get lucky on not being discovered but rest assured once it happens they will not hesitate to escalate the conflict from rednecks all the way up to MIBs if players get careless. This would also be some of the fun, I think some PARANOIA-flavor could be added in where the players are to some degree being set up to fail or get caught, and have to do damage control while attempting to bail on their mission. Actually, it would make a lot of sense for the setup to be that the players crashed their vessel and have to work towards being evacuated from earth undiscovered. Honestly the more I think about it the more scenarios and angles I see possible. There could be peaceable aliens the players could be, and the campaign would focus on establishing contact with the CORRECT type of humans, and dealing with the politics of that, or even having to fight off an invasion from another collection of aliens.

My apologies if this doesn't go here. This board doesn't have a thread for this game, even though we know a lot of people here play either master duel, the tag force/world championship games or in real life. Here's some links anyway, the game is actually pretty easy to understand. >Master Duel <https://store.steampowered.com/app/1449850/YuGiOh_Master_Duel This is the official simulator, made by KONMAI itself. Very F2P friendly if you want to build a certain deck (or just buy 3 structures, also very cheap, with dragonmaid and zombie being the best ones), and recent changes have made the experience "on-rails", so just download it and give it a go. Your first purchases should be the staples: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Called by the Grave and Crossout Designator. These go in every deck, and you need 3 of each besides Called by the Grave (2) and Crossout Designator (1) >EDO Pro <https://projectignis.github.io/download.html The best unofficial simulator bar none, really fast with updates, runs on potato computers/phones and you can customize just about everything for free. Not a lot of people playing online though, but at least it's chinese-free.

>>1237 Never mind, i actually did have to make some changes to this build, once again i tested it a lot in locals and lot more situations came up. >nadir is dead past turn 1 if i only run fleur and maximus >if i run ecclesia i have to run punishment in case i open ecclesia and 4 bricks/handtraps >foolish burial essentially does nothing unless i run a bigger shaddoll package ie fusion spells and all >2 super poly targets aren't enough, and i never had the chance to use it (i couldn't pay the discard cost) This is a meme build with no real consistency, so i thought i might as well go full retard and add even more fucking bricks to it. Mechaba/ecclesia/maximus pass is all i can do 90% of the time, but when i open my 3 card combo (aleister/meltdown/terraforming, shadow's light and squamata/beast/hedgehog) i can put out a relatively strong endboard. Now to explain this schizo pile: >hedgehog is essentially another copy of squamata and beast (2 beast is brick city, i can't run 4-5 squamata sadly) >ariel is a brick for incarnation plays >monster reborn is honestly a [FREE SLOT], but it can come up sometimes since i only run 1-ofs in the extra >caliga is back because this new ideal endboard ends in either raidjin or him >fleur and titaniklad are out because i couldn't justify their space in the deck (dumping apkallone and granguignol with maximus is essentially the same thing, and granguignol does get summoned in certain lines so he's essential) >lulu is also back because she gets summoned off of granguignol's GY effect >dragite (RIP savage) is there because i can actually have a WATER monster in the GY for his backrow negate

SUDA-JP049 Hikarinaki Kage A=Bao A Qu | A-Bao A Qu, the Lightless Shadow LINK-4 DARK Fiend/Link/Effect 2800 ATK | Arrows: Left, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right, Right 2+ monsters, including a Fiend monster You can only use the 1st and 2nd effect of this card’s name each once per turn. (1) During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card to activate 1 of these effects; ● Destroy 1 card on the field. ● Banish this card (until the End Phase), and if you do, Special Summon 1 LIGHT or DARK monster from your GY. (2) During your Standby Phase: You can draw cards equal to the number of different Types among the monsters in your GY, then place the same number of cards from your hand on the bottom of the Deck in any order.
It fucking happened, KONMAI actually reprinted s:p little knight this year, twice at that, which is going to tank the price of this card. I know they didn't do it out of the goodness of their heart (jews lack them after all), so this means she's getting banned next year, however this won't stop me from buying the cheapest print available and making the most out of it i still have my baronne in storage, which lets me make a few modifications to my deck. First of all i changed the shaddoll ratios again, i'm unemployed right now so i've had a lot of time to play, and i realized after a week of thorough testing that hedgehog and beast were bricks through and through, whereas both wendi and squamata can get me to my ideal endboard assuming i opened aleister/meltdown/terraforming and shadow's light. This cuts the number of bricks to just 3 (quem, cartesia and ariel) and technically lets me get rid of granguignol for another level 8 synchro or even a link, but sometimes i open aleister, shadow's light and ecclesia/fleur/maximus/veiler, which only lets me summon granguignol to dump garura for a draw and continue my plays. The endboard is significantly weaker, but it DOES play under nibiru, as mechaba comes out on exactly the 5th summon. >why don't you toss apkallone/titaniklad, retard? No point on doing so, i won't have the needed materials in GY to summon winda off of schism. Titaniklad will add fleur and she will be able to be summoned just fine with her own effect, but won't negate a monster as luluwalilith isn't considered a dogmatika monster. Since i always synchro luluwalilith if i can, i briefly considered cutting something in favor of proskenion since the payoff is good (for example, it can banish promethean princess), but this time i legitimately need every single card in the extra KONMAI please increase the limit to 20. The invoked side only had a single change: caliga is now gone, not because it's a bad card, but my board is meant to interact with the opponent (mechaba, luluwalilith and dragite negate, s:p banishes then winda floodgates) and caliga restricts me to 1 effect per turn, plus i almost never get the chance to summon it alongside winda for a total lock. Dogmatika punishment is gone, i kept ecclesia as an extra nadir target so the card won't be useless past turn 1, but even if she adds the trap i won't have anything to toss from the extra to pop, otherwise it'd be in place of monster reborn. Fleur came back because opening nadir, and only nadir, means i have to go for maximus and use it to toss titaniklad (who's also back) and apkallone. Linkmail archfiend was pure cope to be honest, now that s:p is (going to be) cheap i can toss her in every single deck i own and call it a day, but even after she gets v& i'll still have >>1239 as a choice, sure she will need two slots (closed moon and her), but IMO it's worth it. Here's hoping they don't rarity bump and short print it of fucking course they will, waifu tax+actually a decent card+jewart's greed means she'll be a $50+ secret. Will this be the final revision to this deck? Probably not, but i can proudly say that every single engine both works on its own and in tandem with each other, it's no longer "if i can't pull out this specific combo, which requires this specific hand, i scoop" like a lot of petdecks i've seen on ygoprodeck and youtube. The only truly bad hands i can think of would be 5 handtraps or 3 wendi, 1 ariel and another useless card like monster reborn/shadow's light.

Has anyone here played this? I am currently trying to paint Ogres for my army. It has been really slow due. In the meantime I wanted to try Vanguard which seems like a pretty fun game. They recently came out with a refresh for the forces of the abyss. I think the new models look pretty good. I have to question why the big guy is resin though, Seems kinda strange.

Had my first game of Vanguard today! >Ogres played by me. >Undead played by some guy in my group. Both of us are new to the game obviously. But I have significantly more wargaming experience in general so I won. I also didn't bring the rulebook with me so we just relied on my memory for rules. Kind of a shitty thing for me to do, Didn't remember any of the special rules for his faction. In my defense though I did tell him about the special rules that I did know about like crushing strength and piercing. Final score was 15 for me and 6 for the other guy. I for one quite enjoyed playing the game. It was a bit slower than something like grimdark future but it was still quite fun. Probably would have been more fun if I had actually used the extra special actions that the power dice are supposed to give you. But I couldn't remember all of those. Going to have to bring the rulebook with me next time. Should probably read the rules again as well just to be safe.

GW raising prices, AGAIN. Anonymous 05/15/2024 (Wed) 08:24:34 Id: 92f978 No. 1189 [Reply]
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/05/07/2024-pricing-update/ >The price changes for individual products will vary, but in most countries the average change will be between 3% and 5%.* As an example of what you can expect, a squad of Necron Warriors goes up $2 from $50 to $52, £30 to £31.50, and €40 to €41 (or local currency equivalent). > In Sweden and Norway, the average price change will be between 8% and 14%. Well fuck me for being a Nordic I guess. This was entirely expected but I still want to announce it.
Considering how much they charge for plastic crack already, and in the face of increasingly more commonplace 3D printing, this seems like a bad idea. While they are obviously trying to protect their bottom line they've already burned a lot of the faith their customer base has in them and even people who might argue that more recent changes to things like lore and whatnot are subjectively good or bad no body can argue a price hike is not objectively worse. Considering the price increase in your area is likely double or more what other regions are seeing Faggot OP do you have an idea of where you could import from to defray some of the additional cost? Also, we should probably have a News thread to congregate things like this and WoTC hiring pinkertons under.
>>1190 Well thankfully for me I don't buy GW anymore. Worst case scenario this will just make the secondary/used market slightly more expensive for me. As for a news thread, I don't want to have one. Considering how small the board is I am not really seeing a reason not to just make a new thread for any and all news. If this place somehow gets big again then we could make a single news thread but not yet.
3D printing/mold creation and re-use will hopefully help against this as time goes on

Is chess a wargame? Anonymous 10/06/2023 (Fri) 21:01:55 Id: a164cd No. 1046 [Reply]
A very simple question. Does chess technically count as a wargame? I think it does, Its not like any other wargame but you do have 2 armies facing off against each other, only instead of controlling territory or wiping the other guy out you are just supposed to kill the king. I think it counts.
6 posts omitted.
>>1046 That's very interesting, OP. I suppose chess could count as a wargame, though that's only because of the loose aesthetic of ancient warfare. You could easily change the piece names and the war connection would be much less obvious. But ultimately yes, I do think it counts. So, the King is a beta who eats absolute shit while the Queen is the most powerful piece. What do you think that relationship is like?
>>1172 >spoiler Hardcore (but loving) pegging obviously
>>1172 Of course it's a wargame, it is fundamentally a game of tactics. Now that being said, i have played another board game called uh the hound and the fox? I dont know. And that had a similar intent in that it taught thinking, but had an animalistic hunting analogy going on.
