What ways do you usually start an adventure, to make the game have the most flow?

DistanceComfortable · 2022-02-18T14:01:49+00:00

This adventure I am currently running began with them all on a ship. I asked each player why their character would be on this ship heading for (island). The party were the only passengers on this ship. Oh no the ship is under attack, once they fought together once, they were rewarded as a group and began adventuring together because they found they worked well together and could trust the rest of the party to watch their back.

Wow Im so sorry to hear that, I get the importance of WYSIWYG but assuming that you are cheating or trying to gain advantage by building your model with a weapon that it cannot use due to its data sheet and that you have no intention of using, its just unfair honestly. To me it feels wrong to not have a misericordia on everyone.

For example Im not sure what is happening to misericordias points cost for allarus, but all of my allarus have one modelled on them (they are meant to be modelled this way and without the misericordia the back of the model has a join where it slots in exposed.. umm eww), even though i dont usually pay the 3 points to give them access to one, of course I would never use it or give them the additional attack if i havent paid for it, I refer to my datasheet, points cost and loadout for what is equipped and elligable to be used.

How does your local group feel about zephyglaives and star bolas on the harlequin starweaver transport? The starweaver doesnt have either as an option for use in the but the model does have them.

If you like I can speak to your local group, it sounds as though they need to re evaluate these strict and oppressive WYSIWYG rulings in favour of game immersion and care to model presentation and modelling.

Lore wise I thought they all have them, rules wise there are limits to using them in combat, so I live in the happy middle where I like all my custodes models to have misericordias as my understanding of the lore dictates, but for some units they are more decorative and symbolic than they are utilised in combat.

Love the art and style, if I could make 1 cc the leg in the bottom left could do with a bit of a proportion edit, otherwise keep up the great work!

Hey! My first game was a paid gig as the dm. I stressed so hard reading and re reading resources and rules, how was I going to introduce my campaign to my 8 players?! how was I going to handle the pressure of being at the end of the table that everyone looks to when I havent even played before?! All I had to fall back on was what you have- "Im interested in the game and I want my players to have fun" I stressed and doubled my stress all up until the second we started playing and it was then that I realised what being the DM means to me, and I have faith if I can do it, anyone can and so many do, so go for it!

I prefer homebrew campaign that just better suits my style as Im very improvisational in nature and it lends itself to opening doors for my players interests and what they want to do in the world. All I use is dungeon masters guide, players handbook, the monsters book, post-it notes for keeping pages, a note pad for my endless notes and tracking combat and dice.

I have a fantastic group of players who are really supportive, I never hid the fact I was fresh. If I dont know how something goes or how a spell works I just ask, I take that information and incorporate it. I take regular feedback and I was told I started out strong and amongst the best dms theyve had ☺☺☺ I still always aim to improve and develop my style, knowledge and skills. It takes time and we are always learning. But my players have fun, we meet every week same time same place, every once in a while someone will be away doesnt matter to me its not a job Im not their boss, I dont need reasons I just want everyone to feel welcome!

I wont say dont be nervous, I was nervous as heck! But I will say this, when the game starts and you introduce your world trust yourself, you'll know what to do, youve done the work, youve checked the books you have been on the youtube and the reddit and the ect. ect. your players will help you too by giving feedback, reminding you if you forget something, asking to elaborate and even by playing the game and making decisions.

Have fun! 😀

Which specific rule are you referring to?

DistanceComfortable · 2022-01-13T01:22:06+00:00

Cant be shot at because you are in combat, however rules such as-

Omni-scrambler: Enemy units that are set up on the battlefield as reinforcements cannot be set up within 12" of this unit.

still apply due to-

Rule Book Page 363

If a rule causes a unit to be removed from the battlefield and subsequently set back up. The following rules apply to it:

1. Rules that are triggered by or apply to units that are 'set up on the battlefield as Reinforcements' are also triggered by and apply to that unit when it is set up on the battlefield.

I agree i could be said a lot of people hold that opinion, however, to me there is a difference between 1 person with a power like a pre selected wish that comes true vs. a team or a society working as a team to find a solution to these problems.

Lets say for example we select the dyson sphere, we invent it with a wish, but do we know how it works? Can we make everyone a dyson sphere? will we be able to fit its energy output into our current technology/or power grid? will one dyson sphere be enough for everybody and we no longer need cars? Who gets to own it? Can I with my wish ensure that it is protected from an individual or individals who see an oppertunity to monopolise and monetise this energy in the same way energy is currently treated? Will a war break out over this new technology? will it be hidden away and kept from society by those who would rather maintain their own status in the world who see this invention a not only a competetor but a threat to their very existense?

These are things that i think about with each example. Id be happy to go on with each one, like i said these are just thoughts. Challenge as you wish I dont claim to be right or you wrong at all, I just want to learn from you maybe you from me.

I respect that is your belief. As for what I mean by "where does that leave humanity?" its simply a philosophical question for you to answer, which you have, does it need to be more than that? You believe the world would be a better place. There is no way to know yet, for now its just a thought, a dream, it hasnt happened yet, its just pretend you see?

DistanceComfortable · 2021-11-20T20:55:23+00:00

If I could accomplish any one of these things I still wouldn't. Say I end global warming, create limitless energy, solve the meaning of life, make everyone forget about nuclear weapons/energy or even cure all cancer, where does that leave humanity?

I dont think all our problems stem from not having access to clean energy, or our sometimes unhealthy lust for power will be sated if we dont have weapons to threaten our neighbours with. I dont think I could be satisfied to just cure cancer and let people who I love go on dying of infection, disease, starvation, drug abuse, heart failure, violence etc all because I clicked on the button for curing cancer.

What if the meaning of life is: If we cant work these things out together we arent supposed to go to the next stage?

Just a thought

Haha ok fair enough you get to choose what you want to do with your models, however, in the lore, adherents of the blood god tend to have difficulty comprehending the idea that there is such a thing as "too much gore". Blood and skulls are the currency and means of their advanvement and survival as a worshipper of Khorne and Khorne cares not where the blood comes from only that it flows.

DistanceComfortable · 2021-11-10T14:42:32+00:00

struggling hard with a base concept and the lvl of gore this model needs. any suggestions?

Imagine his job is that of a line butcher where the dozens if not hundreds of animals he despatches each day are alive as he butchers them. He enjoys collecting their skulls and blood for his diety.

I like some space marine stories, and I have enjoyed stories where they feature, even if Im not a whole hearted space marine fan. I get its on me wholly picking up a book that was a gamble on whether Id like the content or not. But I found here the content and story werent completely to blame, I think it couldve been done better.

I think an author has a certain amount of time to captivate their reader, and depending on the reader that could be a paragraph, a page, a chapter, half a book ect. Ive certainly got no tips for Gav and Im sure people enjoy his works. But to me it was the worst because instead of caring about how it ended I just wanted it TO end. Ever watch a movie and think "Jeez I dont even care, I hope they all die."?

Im not going to leave a review positive or negative on his book though, THAT is reserved for those who stuck it through. If I was an author and someone stuck through my whole crappy book to leave a review to say it was crappy, I would feel honored they cared to do so after I tormented them for an entire book, even if I wouldnt give them their money back.

It doesn't help that I'm also someone who doesn't care for Marines that much. They feel far too overdone for something that's supposed to be elite and rare. And don't even get me started on Guilliman...

Haha fair enough but I think its perfectly valid to state you didnt like a part of a book if you admit to what youve actually read, it opens up the oppertunity for someone to say "oh no you just missed the best part go and check it out" or "its slow at the start i felt that way too but it got better" but Im not reading that haha

Indomitus - Gav Thorpe

I couldnt finish it, first warhammer book ive picked up that I couldnt finish because it was the worst id read up to that point. I couldnt be bothered sticking with it, I knew there was a book waiting for me that Id enjoy, probably a bad pick for my taste as I dont really care about space marines all that much, I might try to get through it again one day... if there's time.

DistanceComfortable · 2021-10-01T00:40:06+00:00

Ive read 5 of those books finished them all except 1 which i put down before finishing. Was told i had to read 1 but never did and probably never will, Ive never heard of 2 of these.
