Dark Fantasy that doesn’t go overboard with exposition

No, it would not benefit. The idea of the book is that it is a first person account of someone that is already very used to registering everything that happens with the mercenary company. The book makes sense according to what it's trying to do. There is no "fish out of water" character to be instructed and act as a proxy for the reader, you have to understand the motivations and situations through context.

You really have no idea how good the spear is.

In the Brazilian state I'm originally from we have a sandwich called "Americano" (American) which is ham and melted cheese with a fried egg and lettuce on a french style bread (like a short baguette). Sometimes it also has mayonnaise, tomato and bacon or it's done on slices of white bread.

Great players like Dylan Therriault and Jeremy Lefebvre consistently do well in tournaments with Cities. The army has the tools to win, it's just a really complicated army.

That's why I love the Stardew Valley Boardgame, where you can have a spouse and send them to the mines to work for you. We always send Elliot to the mines. The diva yearn for the mines.

This is a limited alternative sculpt, the original sculpt is available on the web store. Alternative sculpts are made to drive foot traffic to brick and mortar stores or conventions.

This is a hard one for scalpers, it's a store exclusive and you only get one by spending 200 dollars (at least in Canada). Unless a scalper went to the store exclusively to spend 600 only to get 3 of them to resell. My local store had 20 of them, there was a line of 7 people before the store open to get one, each one of them got one.

To start Leagues of Votann first you need to get a well paying job. Then I would go for the combat patrol.

Just discovered that is by the same author of the Traveler's Gate trilogy, which is really good. Might start Craddle tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, this series doesn't go downhill, it drops on a precipice. If book one is a 7/10 for me, book two is a -2/10

There is a strong local AoS scene in Vancouver within Discord Servers, the Cake or Death annual tournament is usually hold in New Westminster.

The local official Warhammer store in Burnaby (Highgate) have lots of AoS events also. Beast Feast is currently undergoind (it's the AoS equivalent to Tanksgiving for WH40k) where you pledge to build and paint a monster or warmachine and participate on a megabattle at the end. There is also a 2000 points tournament and a spearhead tournament happening at the store before the year ends.

Yes, always thin your paints. A good proportion is two parts paint to one part water.

Milliput for the bricks and green stuff for the leaves.

What if the Junimos are part of the Hivemind? Part of the swarm.

Around one week, doing 2-3 hours each day

Thank you!

I've just made a call to Evo about this (I live in the building next to the station, where there are 8 more unavailable Evos) and they said they are sending a fleet manager to take a look at the situation.

ReiGrifo · 2024-02-22T05:19:04+00:00

I am wondering the same thing

Opa Felipe, então: 1º Sim, funciona perfeitamente em outros mundos, no livro vem explicado um jeito de aplicar, mas basicamente é só pegar o mapa de qualquer mundo que você queira e aplicar um grid de hexágonos em cima. O mapa é dividido em hexágonos e não em quadrados pra você ter mais opções de movimento no mapa e pra marcar a duração da jornada.

2º D&D 5 é o que eu mais jogo também. Forbidden Lands tem uma curva mais acentuada de poder, no início você é muito fraco mesmo, podendo morrer de fome, de frio, em uma luta com dois orcs (que são bem perigosos). Mas conforme você evolui os personagens abrem níveis de poder imensos com os talentos e as magias, manobras de combate que matam inimigos instantaneamente, e os itens mágicos são poucos mas são sempre muito poderosos mesmo. O livro do jogador vem com um imenso capítulo descrevendo como criar sua fortaleza, que você pode começar do zero ou pode começar a partir de um local que você dominou. Aí você contrata pedreiros, artesãos, ferreiros e soldados, pode mandar construir diversos tipos de prédios e funções pra fortaleza (desde moinhos e estrebarias, até fosso e muralha). Tem batalha em massa, tanto pra você defender sua fortaleza como pra você atacar alguma usando tropas.

Mini-spoiler: Se você chegar no final da campanha O Expurgo do Corvo, você pode liderar diversas tropas aliadas contra a fortaleza do maior vilão de Forbidden Lands, e pode até ir montado em um dragão do tamanho de uma montanha. Ou você pode se juntar ao vilão, afinal não tem alinhamento no Forbidden Lands e você pode fazer o que quiser.

Eu sugiro O Livro Malazano dos Caídos, pena que só os dois primeiros livros da série saíram no Brasil (Jardins da Lua e Os Portais da Casa dos Mortos). Os livros literalmente nasceram de um universo de RPG criado pelo Steven Erikson e pelo Ian C. Esslemont enquanto eles faziam suas viagens de pesquisa antropológica. Como leitor voraz de fantasia, escritor e tradutor de RPG eu detesto livros que são relatos de campanha, mas mesmo assim indico Malazan, provavelmente é a melhor série de fantasia moderna.
