What is a game you play that never get's traction here? Why should the rest of us try it out?

Do you save up for new purchases or spend recklessly?

Got a couple of questions about lcg, specifically Arkham and Lotr. I'm considering playing with the gf and a couple of friends, but mainly the gf. >Asuming we like both settings equally, which one is better? As in more fun and inmersive?

I got both core sets, but both are 1st editions and I've read revised versions have come out since then. If we wanted to keep on playing, what would you recommend getting next? For arkham, expansions seem more easy to follow since you got campaign and investigators expansions, but for lotr, I don't really know the recommended order to play the boxes. Should we go fellowship, then two towers and then return of the king using what comes in the starter box? Should we get the 4 starter decks or, at least 2 of them?

Nighthaunt may look appealing but a lot of their models feel very same-y, there's only so much variation you can add to floating ghosts with chains.
If you don't plan on playing the game and just want to paint them get a kit or two, that should satisfy the craving. You can always continue on later. Don't fall for the trap of buying the vanguard or whatever they're called boxes. It is cheaper per kit obviously but you're paying a lot at once and unless you're going to paint them one afer another you're better off getting a kit every month or two to not add to the unpainted pile.

You essentially end up with Sci-Fi. Replace magic with psionic, tech gadets, drones, robots and nano machines and you get the same results. So just copy your go to space opera and change the names.
>>
>>92713422
Logistics of warfare would be seriously impacted by magic. When you have units that are capable of teleporting people and equipment, conjuring floating disks, summoning animals and constructs and raising the dead under your full control, creating food and water out of thin air, buffing people for higher strength, stamina and speed, instantly healing people and repairing broken or damaged equipment, polymorphing fully-equipped soldiers into small and easy-to-carry (or considerably more mobile) creatures, animating objects and tekekinetically moving them with your mind, suddenly a lot of problems about transporting and stocking up your squads become considerably less serious.
But on the other hand, if you start relying on your mages a bit too much, losing them might effectively doom the the rest of the squad to a slow death from hunger or exhaustion.

Thanks for the suggestion, anon, and I may cut out chunks of this, but it's way, way too involved for what I need. Wanted something a bit lighter weight. Some anon a few threads back posted crafting rules alongside some other feat/skill tweaks they made, which had some similarities and I liked, but figured there was a "standard" somewhere. This is cool but way too much to track/implement in the course of a normal game to me.

For those of us who were actually around for the Dominion launch it completely checks out. It was actually almost impossible to pre-order Dominion from a 3rd party and most people even just in this thread ordered directly from GW instead. The stock boom at 3rd parties didn't happen until later on, a lot of people regretted not waiting.

not him, but the warlock engineer was called warlock engineer even back in fantasy when it had no interaction with warmachines and the wizard level was optional

the engineering part comes from the development of weapons, not the on-field maintenance of artillery, and the warlock part comes from their engineering mixing arcane components and methods
even their ability to do magic is purely artificial and reliant on whether they carry the equipment to channel magic rather than their natural abilities or some other expertise

Traditional fantasy games and settings are the best. How I purify myself of all subversive ideas and do a fantasy setting that's both traditional and fun? Books and any other recommendations are welcome.
195 replies and 19 images omitted. Click here to view.

>>92711252
To restate something I said before, what's 'traditional media' is kind of a meaningless word.

Like to put it one way- chivalric stories of heroic knights in the middle ages ala King Arthur were subversive, in that they were subverting the traditional concept of heroism from the ancient greeks.

To the Greeks, heroism didn't necessarily imply positive qualities. For instance the Hero's of the Trojan War were largely assholes who made both Greece and Troy worse off for the whole exercise, Achilles starts the story bummed that he's not allowed to take a priests daughter as a war-bride and sulking in his tent halting the war effort. But the Greeks were interested in the world warts and all- portraying the world as it is rather than what they wanted to be.

By contrast figures like the Knights of the Round Table who are embodiments of idealized chivalry (minus Lancelot) are a subversion of that concept, portraying characters as moral ideals.

TLDR: You should specify a timeframe is what I'm saying. Defining story-characteristics from a certain era is way easier than trying to find some sort of bedrock.

There's no real concept of Sin in Tolkien in the first place.

The Fall is clearly a parallel to the beginning of Genesis, and the clear difference is that fallen state of Men came from the actions of Adam and Eve, while in Tolkien's world, Men, Elves, Dwarves and the rest already woke up in a tainted world, doomed to diminish and decay until Melkor bursts from Doors of Night and burns it all down.

>>92717528
>The Lucifer also bears the sole guilt for the Original Sin
Certainly not in the Bible. His name, or rather title, also comes from fan fiction. The only person addressed as Lucifer (bringer of light) in the NT is Jesus himself.
