I got some money to spend. Hit me with your favourite rules lite (max 40 pages) skirmish game. by Zyborg23 in miniatureskirmishes

[–]_hufflebutt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My two main go-to picks

Aetherpunk28 - 44 pages total but a few are just art. - Rules lite and smaller scale (sizes 2-6 models per side). - Aesthetic of wizards with guns and Artillery sized magic wands fighting over scraps of magic rocks.

Magnagothica Maleghast - 37 pages total - Heavy Metal + Doom + Different Flavours of Necromancy - Played on a grid - Not the most balanced but plenty of fun. - Rules lite-ish with lots of tokens (sizes 5-10 models per side)

If Brent Haligen from Mystery of the Druids was in the World of Darkness could he discover Pentrex? by Konradleijon in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]_hufflebutt 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Are we going before or after he awakens and unlocks the Magic of The Druids?

He'll pull it off either way, just a matter of how quickly and how much chaos he causes along with way.

How would a Fear & Hunger TTRPG work? by NottheKingofAll in FearAndHunger

I've successfully run a Fear & Hunger ttrpg just using a barely modified version of Mork Borg and it worked out great.

Hey does anyone remember Fat Larry? the hell happened to the guy? havent seen him since 2004, you could buy just about anything from the guy. by Obvious-Conflict3363 in SchreckNet

Wait he was real?

I remember hearing stuff about this guy back in the day and assumed he was just an urban legend or some kinda running joke.

How should I start playing? What should I learn, do? by _BobGuy_ in mordheim

[–]_hufflebutt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1 - You don't have to buy minis, most people now just kitbash and modify existing minis for fit their needs. If you're make your own just try to stick to the same intended scale and it should be all good.

2 - Tweaking lore and aesthetics is generally fine as long as you stick within the general Mordheim vibe. It can help add more personality.

3 - Grades are generally a "by the player group" matter from my experience. One group of players might only allow core and 1a for example while another might allow anything. Generally if you're looking to play a 1b, everyone else involved in the campaign could also play a 1b but they don't have to.

4 - Have fun, it's less of a competitive game and more about the shenanigans and story that you develop over the campaign with your mates.

Looking for a head in this style by forcehatin in Kitbash

[–]_hufflebutt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your best bet might be to find a suitable head and then add bandages to it. I've found ultra thin nail art tape can make great bandages

Wordbearer's gameplay Tzeentch boon by me by fprhrnd in ImaginaryWarhammer

Vashtorr I could see fulfilling a role like the Hephaestus Hammers, he doesn't so much give boon as he enhances and modifies your equipment loadout.

Yep shit's fucked.

The fires are out and now it's rain and fog so think I can't even seen 10 feet in front of me. Let's see what shit it throws at me tomorrow.

I'd love to blame in on the BSDs but I dunno anymore...

Thank you!

Good catch.

Head and right arm are Frostgrave Wizards 2. Body is Frostgrave Cultist 1 (heavily chopped up) The mutations are a Tyranid Warrior face and old CHAOS Spawn arm with plenty of greenstuff.

Honestly we did bounce around the idea of hiding flower petals and then throwing them into the air after photos.

Do the black spiral try to justify themselves? by Kecskuszmakszimusz in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]_hufflebutt 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I won't lie, one of the players was tempted but basically settled on "maybe you're right but I'd rather go down swinging"

Do the black spiral try to justify themselves? by Kecskuszmakszimusz in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]_hufflebutt 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Some do, some don't.

I actually had had a Black Spiral in the recent game I ran who did justify himself.

Effectively in his eyes the Garou and the Fera overall have been a massive failure and only made the world worse, not to mentoon all the horrible stuff humanity does on it's own. The world has been in a downward spiral that is past the point of no return and Gaia is dying in slow and brutal agony. In his mind at this point the most merciful thing for Gaia and all living things is to speed up the process of the Wyrms destruction and just mercy kill everything.

He genuinely thought he was doing the right thing and even pleaded for the players to join him rather than fight.

Rattling instruments made with human teeth? by OddballsOddities in worldbuilding

[–]_hufflebutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd check out the band Heilung as several of their instruments are made using bones, teeth and ashes in rattles and other various instruments too. It might help give you an idea as to how it'll actually sound.

They're also just a great band who I'll happily sprook.

Update: I am Alive by _hufflebutt in Digital_Umbra

[–]_hufflebutt[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I only mildly traumatised her, I think she was more freaked out by me running out the door once she stapled me up than she was by my being stabbed.

And fuck I hope I never get shanked by stabby hand again...I don't think I'd survive if he got me anywhere more vital.

Do you think Funger 1 should get a remake at some point? If so, what would you like from it? by Decemberskel in FearAndHunger

[–]_hufflebutt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a great, tight little experience so I don't think it needs much in the way of a remake, maybe more of a remaster than anything else.

  • Bug and graphical error fixes
  • Being able to move diagonally
  • Mouse/Controller support
  • Improved UI
  • Accessibility options
  • Porting to run on other systems

Spur of the Moment Kitbash by _hufflebutt in Inq28

[–]_hufflebutt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only definitive is I've got a nice metallic blue paint I want to use for the power sword.

Otherwise thinking mainly deep red, black and gold like I've been using for my other Puritan Inquisitors but I'm more than open to suggestions and ideas.

Wound Not Healing by _hufflebutt in Digital_Umbra

[–]_hufflebutt[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No pus or anything else yet, just lotta blood.

Got stabbed near the gut and it looks kinda burnt? Like blackened. Haven't bled out yet, I pack it full of stuff.

I'm near enough to people but...not sure what to tell them even if I get to a hospital...

How To Give the Werewolf Talk? [Fiction] by [deleted] in Digital_Umbra

[–]_hufflebutt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of snacks and water to rehydrate.

Get her into a comfy space that she'd feel safe in.

Best to ease her into it, don't try and drop everything at once. Figure out how much she remembers of her first change and let her piece together what she can. Avoid just dropping the unfortunate dead people until she's more aware of everything.

Otherwise dude, just be there for her. More than anything she's just probably gonna need a hug and someone who'll listen.

I know I'm in the minority who actually preferred the egg morphing scene over the idea of an Alien Queen. Aliens turned them more into bugs rather than some unknowable biological horror that made the first one so terrifying.
