Made 202k out of 22k in fake money in poker.

They managed it though I think they were within 1 action of TPK due to the dragon collapsing the ceiling. It ended with the rogue putting the dragon to sleep while it burrowed into the roof of it's cave to bring it down, and then spider climbing up to the roof to execute it. I made him roll the HP sleep put together and it was extremely dramatic but the dragon had 1hp left so I knew he'd won. I just wanted him to feel the drama (though figuring out how to get it dead without waking it while it was in the ceiling was an issue). The actual damage of the dragon wasn't too horrific but they attacked it in a cave made of glass 100 feet under the desert and it could dig. The paladin did take the biggest hits as usual though.

Recently bought two Gwent decks (Nilfgaard and Northern Realms) after loving playing it on Witcher 3. Has anyone else played and enjoyed it? From what I've heard and seen it hasn't really gotten that popular...

>>28743

I loved Gwent in TW3. Just the right balance of simplicity and depth for a card game, in my opinion. Unfortunately it seems they're trying to retire the original formula and push the new standalone Gwent game.

And personally, I absolutely hated the standalone. Way too many changes and the pay-to-win elements are insane (and all too common with digital card games like this). Played maybe 5 matches with the starter decks and couldn't even win a single match against the AI, because they decided all starter decks had to be bare bones, wholly noncompetitive dogshit. Awful game, really disappointed in CDPR tbh.

So I wouldn't hold out hope on original Gwent getting very popular when they're trying their damnedest to replace it with the digital skinner box P2W standalone trainwreck.

About to be playing some YGOPRO. Trying to make a Horus deck work in today's game.

Looks pretty neat, I can't really tell from the image quality but it looks like a dice/probability logic game, seems complicated and difficult but I'd definitely play it.
Good find man, for only $2!

It's hard to fuck up a scarab god deck. It looks fine. Don't worry about being "optimal". You'll go crazy. Also, don't overlook cards in your own collection if you think it's crazy to shell out $23 for a Liliana...

>>28713
Yeah, I don't know why people spend so much money on commander decks. I use commander as a way to not let my weird cards from drafting go to waste. Although, I've played against people who had single lands that were worth about what this deck is going for.

Like, I opened up a Kumena at the Rivals prerelease. It's $20+. What am I going to do? Spend another $450 to fill out a modern merfolk deck? I should trade it in and draft for free next time, but then I'm going to feel stupid when it eventually hits $50... So it can either rot in my collection, or I can make a commander deck out of it. I have enough merfolk cards left over from Ixalan drafts to make it interesting.

But that's why I generally only really play pauper competitively. I've spent more on sleeves than on some of my decks...

>>28720
Commander and Draft are the only things I play.

I had an Allies commander deck back when Return to Zendikar dropped and I payed 25 dollars for the Gideon from that set, which was the most i've ever (and probably will) spend on a card.

I also usually buy pre-mades and build around them. I don't have most of the cards in that deck above since a lot of them are from the innistrad set, before i started playing, and I don't buy them all at lump so it's gonna be an overtime thing.

Tormented Soul, Dark Favor, Mark of the Vampire, Shadow Slice.

Pauper BS but fun.

I've been out of the loop since they announced Arena, because it seemed like it was going to replace MTGO and I didn't want to keep putting money into a depreciated format, but the new Brawl format has me intrigued. I want to build an Admiral Brass deck so bad.

>>28755
Have a default sequence of events is a good idea but beyond that you probably just need to map the major players, what they will try to do and the means they have to do it, their motivations and values will be enough for a smart DM to decide when they might switch sides or be won over. As you know players will always find a way to break things. If you have a good DM/GM they will then have to actually work out the likely outcome. Make sure you have the tools so DMs can wing it when the group not only sets up an anarcho syndicalist commune but does so having won the trust and respect of half the inquisition and a good chunk of the emperor's forces and then start trying (quite effectively) to figure out how to win the Rion over.

Assuming dark magic was involved there will have to be people trying to stop you from finding evidence. Initially they will be fairly mundane enemies but if the player start amassing proof then the users of dark magic will no longer have a reason to hide their nature from the players. So you'll need a mix of "mundane" enemies like mercenaries and assassins but also more sinister creatures. Warlocks and devils maybe, dark priests, cultists or is this dark magic even more alien?

You're also going to need to plan and detail how the inquisition and Church forces move. They will no doubt act if the players go turncoat. Perhaps the emperor is noble but took a dark path? Is he redeemable? Do the players need to take action to set him right? I guess he'll fight against forces from both sides but will have other allies.

I suppose the first place to investigate would be the site of the defeat of the witch so maybe you need remnants of her armies. Suspicious locals and those agents trying to hide the truth, maybe not always through violence either. Lots of opportunities for skill checks, puzzles and roleplay there.

I don't think at this point we can do more than ask questions but maybe that helps? When I read your post that's what I thought of.

As a student practicing HEMA I am not allowed to LARP, I'd be disqualified for pretty much any method of striking. Historical European martial arts and the German Fechtbuchs focus on proper spear play, fencing, hand to hand, and wrestling amongst other great bits of knowledge. All of which would have me immediately disqualified if I tried to implement these tactics as there isn't much I'd be able to utilize without heavy physical contact such as thrusting or stabbing motions.

The rules in LARP prevent me from being able to wear my own suit of armor or utilize my training. I would have to "earn" the ability to wear the armor I paid for, and after several months of larping I could maybe wear my pauldrons and cuirass but still not my full set. Most of larping really sucks, but there are some good ones. I've seen some plastic lightsaber and Nerf gun battles themed after starwars where the "Sith" larp team will wear black hoodies and such to represent their faction and oppose the other normally clad folks representing Rebels and Jedi. They love to battle until their little plastic light sabers break.

The coolest I hear is in Europe where they have post apocalyptic themed LARP battles that utilize paintball guns and masks. You make your own fallout raider armor and go nuts with paintball guns playing in teams. Mock firefights in Mad Max raider gear would be more fun than getting banned because I decided to parry and thrust with a foam sword. The only other "larpers" like that I see often are the Military bros who show up in full gear to do airsoft or paintball as teams in the Desert and those can get pretty heated... No pun intended.

Not sure if this'll help you out but maybe https://rpg.rem.uz/Warhammer/40000/Tabletop/ has what you need?

This is the Dark Souls of boardgaming.

We also have the card game coming out next month as well which has been getting a lot of positive feedback. It's a lot less expensive than the game with miniatures but still has that cooperative feel

>>28732basically everything is blowing up for no reason and primarchs are back, shits rushed beyond belief, oh and there are super space marines just shoot me

tanks look more sci-fi-y which is cool

Failbaddon finally did something that mattered and now Cadia blew up and the Eye of Terror spread like Sasha Grey's asshole after an anal gangbang, bisecting the galaxy. Half the Imperium has been cut off from the Astronomicon, Warp travel is fucked, Tyranids ate (or came damn close to eating) Baal, a splinter group of Eldar resurrected a forgotten god of death, the aforementioned knife-ear splinter group healed and woke up Rowboat, Girlyman got a boner from the knife-ear and allied with them to skullfuck Abbadon back into the Warp, Mortarion showed up again to try to burn Ultramar but failed horribly, and - in general - life in the galaxy is still shit but now there are more daemons and all the xenos are even more uppity.

>>28735

Yeah maybe you could use firearm rules with hexblade I reckon, hexgun?

But if you didn't want to have a world with firearms as the norm but wanted a gunslinger, I think just eldritch blasting and having your gun act as a focus mechanically would do with a little DM fiat and fluff. I mean honestly doing force damage and gaining attacks as you level, taking eldritch spear etc would all work pretty well, you hit level 2, you make some refinements to the design/barrel and now you can shoot further and hit harder. I'm not sure which pact you'd use.

Roll20 GMs: How do you do your maps? Does anyone even use the subscription thing?

I prefer to just draw out rough maps with the line/shape tools, and define things like material differences with colour changes or small drawn details. I'm not a fan of having to load a dozen map images, the fact they try to promote their store stuff hard doesn't make me eager to use them either.

After messing around in Roll20 and making my own tokens from fancy fantasy art stolen from everywhere on the internet (artstation and pixiv are great sources for uncommon fantasy/gaming pictures) I've decided to try making black-on-white maps with icons as tokens. I feel like I can get a lot more mileage out of less upload capacity that way and not have my players be constantly distracted by pretty art.

I've had players who I spoiled with fancy maps once, I was NOT able to impress them with simpler maps afterwards and it felt like I was disappointing them.

That's really dope! I especially like the highlights on the brow ridges and temples. Are you going to do any shading/lighting or weathering, or leave it as-is? Did you paint that lighting on those helmet lenses, or are those reflections from the ambient light?

I personally make my troops look dusty and grimey, like they've just walked through a sand storm. But that's partly personal preference, and an excuse to use flat colors.

What the fuck is even happening in this thread? Dude what? What? This is a thing? What?

These are figures for the Warhammer40k game. It's a game played on table top or special tables with terrain or miniature cities. It's a bit cumbersome to learn to play, but it's pretty fun.

Collecting an army, assembling your figures, and painting them is a major part of the hobby.

>Collecting an army, assembling your figures, and painting them is a major part of the hobby.

And also a way to spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours. No regrets, though.
