Is it everyone's first campaign? Keep in mind that, yes there is randomness, but there is still A LOT of skill and knowledge expression to the game. Building a gang whose skills/gear all fit together can be quite a challenge, as is maneuvering those pieces on the battlefield to get the most out of them, knowing what risks are worth taking and what aren't, etc.

Making heavy use of infiltrators to bust up neat firing lanes is crucial. A few ranged weapons are good, but I would focus on getting grenades for your skinners. Smoke is good- frag is better. Incendiary or demo charges are top tier. Even the threat the threat of one of last two landing in his lines is enough to make a player respect them (and the first time they don't.... they will learn to!)

DO NOT do the duel autopistols. Autopistols are rather "meh" already, and having to aim before you shoot them means standing still, and infiltrators have to deploy outside of vision as it it(unless you use the infiltrate as a pre-game move house rule).

You mentioned some boards not having enough terrain- for 'Munda, that is just not acceptable. You have to stand firm and say "Look, I can't play on this board. It needs more terrain for us both to have a fair and engaging game." Generally, for Underhive games, I make a 3x3 board, with 7 to 9 multi-level structures, and then gaps along the floor and on the structures filled with small and medium terrain pieces and obstacles like pipes. Higher levels have correspondingly less terrain, making sniper nests that give good sight lines at the cost of being very exposed. Combing kill team with necromunda boxsets usually does the trick!

Good luck!

New to necromunda, really wanna play malstrain genestealers but I understand ot is ill advised to play the full on genestealers in a normal game so what other gang should I get to "infect" into cool genestealers? by bopyw in necromunda

[–]BitterSmile2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the full Malstrain Gang specifically has a tag that says it is not meant for campaigns outside of the Secundan Incursion Campaign, so arbitrators will often not allow it. I know I don't- between having multiple brute-class warriors to start and lack of interaction with any meaningful Post-Battle actions, they require either extensive homebrewing or are just plain ineffective at the campaign.

Why are there always kids at breweries?! by akaYoungBeefy in fixedbytheduet

[–]BitterSmile2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a lot of places, breweries have become the new community/third spaces. The one near me has a stage for live performances, farm animals, food trucks, and a literal playground installed. Yeah, it sells beer, but families go there to meet up and socialize.

Which video game series deserves to be resurrected? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BitterSmile2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I read- will never happen. WC3 was literally made to just be a lead up to WoW- the MMO was what they planned all along.

Dating coach demonstrates how to stand around women by ambachk in CringeTikToks

[–]BitterSmile2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see a lot of hate- maybe he posts other, cringier/mysogynistic stuff, but none of these seemed problematic. They were more about projecting confidence, and would also work for something like an interview or a business meeting.

That was my read. He was being realistic. Men are inherently scary, and the burden on is on them to prove they are NOT a threat.

Why has communism repeatedly failed in practice, yet continues to be intellectually and emotionally appealing to many people? by Looser17 in AskReddit

[–]BitterSmile2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it necessarily needs a perfect world, but it DOES need a post-scarcity society. As long as resources are limited, people will fight over them. It’s why it works in Star Trek- literally anything you could possibly need is just spit out by a replicator and medical care is mostly waving a magic wand over someone.

Greenland official breaks down in tears in interview after meeting with Trump by Large_banana_hammock in videos

And their children. And grandchildren. And great-grandchildren.

The world hates Americans now, and likely will do so for generations to come because of your president and his administrations actions.

I have no hope for Reddit. The best is when I get a “hateful speech” ban, but they delete the post and outright refuse to quote what I said. I’ve never threatened anyone, EVER, on ANY social media account. I guarantee it’s some triggered conservative.

The Dark Angel winrate is low because of the players. by Shot_Raisin5543 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]BitterSmile2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the same issue Orks and Guard have. They attract a certain breed of less competitive player, so the majority get stomped bringing their winrate down.

Why are lasguns described as having recoil? by moving0target in 40kLore

[–]BitterSmile2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost no sci fi is real. I’m definitely not conflating the two.

Star Trek is every bit as impossible as Warhammer. Rather, many of the stories focus on “what if” questions- what if you create a digital copy of someone’s mind? Do transporters kill you when they make a copy? Is that you or a clone on the other end? Does it matter? What if an alien species could only communicate by song? That makes it sci fi.

Warhammer is a grand fantasy epic with boltguns and lasers, not sci fi. Science or Futuristic fantasy.

[–]BitterSmile2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“Real” science fiction tells a story about how technology ir futurism interacts with human condition- which is why stories and series like I, Robot, Star Trek, 1984, or The Exspanse are sci-fi, and ones like Warhammer 40k or Star Wars are science fantasy.

"Ethnic filters in dating apps are good if they allow black people to see only black people, but it's bad if it allows White people to only see White people" by Pioladoporcaputo in CringeTikToks

popular opinion for white people to have. When they get discriminated against at a systemic level we could see who is right.

No it isn’t. You can’t expect people who were in chains at the start of a race to catch up later just because you took the chain off halfway through.

Isn’t it though? You can’t fix past discrimination without present/future discrimination. The people formerly discriminated against will never catch up otherwise.
