You could even go a step further and have the "alchemy" type skill set or something that builds as you do it more, so like, something you know to have one effect normally, as you get to know the plant/item/whatever better you can find other purposes for it? Indulge me to be a bit of a nerd for a second, something like Aragorn does in Return of the King, where he takes kingsfoil, a plant that even the healer in the castle claims to be something useless, but he specifically knows how it can be used as a way to bring people back, if it's in the right hands. Perhaps it could be an extension of either a heal or nature check?

Vials of vampire blood.

In short amounts, it heals wounds.

Also creates some nice tension when someones character is about to die.

If you just pour tons of vampire blood on someone, that person WILL become a vampire.

Do you let your friend live and hide his condition from the public, do you send him away risking him to turn into a savage monster, or do you turn him into an endless supply of healing by taking him to a bloodfarm where he gets bound in silver, and fed pigsblood to create more vials of vampire blood?

we do none of that. ours is a lowmagic world, so there's less potion use, but since our DM doesn't want to focus on the minutia of feeding and clothing a group, we just assume its taken care of.

I've been in this group for 19 years btw. its still 2nd ed and we haven't run into too many hiccups other than making a game around all of our families now. That, and my cleric has some shitty spheres.

We tried this idea once, some things had to be applied in the form of a cream. Barkskin, for example, had to be applied about 5 minutes before it was actually needed, because that's how long it took to transform the skin. Needless to say, we had one guy in the group who would drink and whore is way through every town, so we gave him some "lube" one day and hasn't trusted creams ever since.

ooh that card looks sick, hadn't seen it.
also a bump is always appreciated.

I guess my major question is spikes + primal cocoon etc. vs. proliferate or some blue artificers?

>>21984 Why no Mox Opal?

and this for proliferate

>>22002
damn that card is dirty
and local game store hasn't had a single mox opal in. but im looking

>>22003
I recommend you try ordering cardsgdom from Coolstuffinc.com or Cardkingdom.com, they have lot's of single cards there. I bought my mox from one of them.

And yes, I feel a dagger through my nipple whenever I see Inexorable Tide is put onto the battlefield,

>>21986
do you know what your buddy is using?

Use a land raider instead of a rhino, so you can assault same phase,
turn that demon prince in for a kharn the betrayer, hes better.

I'm a chaos space marine army that's all khornish, yarrrr

The important things with a 40k army are balance and playing to your preferred style. If you want to go for a close combat orientated army, and already have some long range support, go for the Burna Boyz. If you're planning a shooty army, and have a few close combat units, build them as Lootas.

Get a mekboy, give him custom force field.
Now get a truck for your orks
Now attach mekboy to burnas and put them in the truck
Give truck a dethrolla

You now have a 14 front armor vehicle that has a +4 cover save anywhere and can lay done a flamer template. The Template is multiplied by the 11 burnas you should have inside.

Basically you got a bunch of burnas decimating any squad every turn.

But I painted mine grey.

>>21996

It looks unpainted, needs more red

>>21998
Hey, I painted their pants red at least, surely THEY will go faster. Yeah?

What magic set is yugioh?

>>21988

I'm pretty sure it's a joke set. Not even standard legal.

>>21952
My non-General non-Mill wincons are all obnoxious fatties like Stormtide Leviathan or Trench Gorger. Trench Gorger in EDH with Lightning Greaves is hilarious.

>>21954

I have very little fatties, but the ones I do have are pretty good, like this fellow, which is great with clone effect to lock down two (or more, with rites of replication kicked) players, Sphinx of Jwar Isle because of his shroud (and the peek is fun too), Bonehoard which is almost always huge, Konda, Lord of Eiganjo since he is also difficult to get rid of, Arbiter of Knollridge just in case I need a life boost from someone else, and Myojin of Cleansing Fire for a Wrath on a stick.

>>21909
And combo is yet more unlikely in singleton.

>>21990
Unless the combo player's deck is nothing but tutors and their General is part of the combo.

>>21954
Trench Gorger and Goblin Charbelcher. My favorite.

>>21927
Arkham Horror the Cardboard game, the cards you see in the image are item cards and skill cards. The game is played by you and friends (as Investigators, There are character sheets for each player with different abilities and stats) trying to save arkham the city from the ancient one (same as character sheets, only it's a monster you all have to fight if you can't seal him away before he appears). monsters appear in the city and move around, you have lots of different items, spells and skills so each game differs from the others. It's really hard but so much fun

>>21930

>Arkham Horror the Cardboard game

It's actually a board game.

(I used to play a "cardboard game" where me and my sister would make forts out of refrigerator boxes. And AH is even more fun than that!)

This game ja Great! I have played about 30 sessions of it with 2 - 7 players. Truly an addictive game. I recommend it to everyone. Be patient!!

I like it especially because once you have a handle on how the game operates, you can adjust the difficulty for experienced players, or even for experienced players playing with a new one.

Base set Arkham is a bit easy. Adding expansions notches up the difficulty, but I tend to not want to play with more than one expansion because it adds a LOT of bookkeeping.

gotta have lots of weed for this game, as one session tends to take a while. great game tho, the lore from lovecraft is amazing and although a bit challenging the gameplay is balanced and neatly made.

They're good, but don't build for best army, build whatever is your favorite.
Grey knights are OP as fuck though.

>>21798
Nah I'm probably going with daemons either way, but I was just wondering if they're good on the field to begin with. Also, what does a Changeling do, I haven't been able to get a Codex for them.

the thing with daemons is you basically divide your army into the half you want at the begining and the half you have in reserve. then at the begining of the game you roll to see which one you get, on a 3+ you get the one you wanted. otherwise the other half of your army deep strikes in throughout the game.

Don't build best army, but make sure the army is playable. Basically don't pick tyranids unless you want to only run gaunts and tervigons. Daemons will never be horrible because of their deepstrike schtick.

If your looking for brutality and want to be a little better off go with Chaos Space Marines. They're evil space marines so they are well rounded and can survive like a space marine. Demons, on the other hand, are weaker with basically no armor saves but invulnerable saves all around. (Generally 5+)

This concept seems intriguing, but I do not know what advice I could offer. Bump for interest

>>21981
Well the game has begun anyway, 9 players so far (most of them old timers from PbP, a little fresh blood)

I watched Escape from New York about 10 times in preparation for my cyberpunk prison colony intro campaign.

Catching the right vibe and knowing what you're trying to do is the most important thing. Heroism? Barbarism? Coolness? Horror? Grittiness? Whatever. Just find a way to incorporate the atmosphere into the pacing and description you provide as GM.

I find watching films/reading comics in the relevant kind of style/era (e.g. Lord of the Rings style fantasy for Runequest, which is what I usually rep) and then saying to myself "what if...?" and imagining characters as players in a FRPG and thinking about what they might do, and what I might want to happen etc.

I find having an over arching plot to be the crux of it and also one of the most important parts of it, so don't be afraid to steal something awesome and then make it work for your game. By the time you're done with it, changing what you need to and want to to make it playable, it won't resemble the original idea that much.

Also, have each player introduced to the world seperately and give them different information prior to play and give them reasons to be suspicious of each other's motives. It makes for awesome play.

I was drafting AVR during the prerelease. Some fool passed me a Cavern of Souls.

>mfw

>>21969
HURR DURR I'M SO SMRT AND GR8 AT DRAFTING THAT I WILL TAKE REMOVAL OR AN EVASIVE CREATURE OVER THE THIRD MOST VALUABLE CARD IN THE SET AND THE ONE MOST LIKELY TO RETAIN VALUE, IF NOT INCREASE IN VALUE.

Rare drafters have such a negative stigma...but who's really being the idiot here?
