Business Gorillas posted:did that frostgrave game ever pan out ot be something cool and good? Yes and no. Admittedly, the rules are not perfect. Many agree that using the Bad Karma house rules are important if you want to have a persistent warband. Even with those fixes it can be tough when you face off against wizards of greatly differing levels. That said. The rule set is cheap, simple, and fun. It lets you use some of the giant pile of minis that every wargamer has around and the creativity in modelling that has occurred is impressive. Check out the Facebook groups to see the variety of scratch built and kit bashed stuff that people are making/using.

NTRabbit posted:X-Wing, Star Trek Attack Wing, Wings of War, and Mobile Frame Zero 002: Intercept Orbit, which should hit retail any day now Of those I've seen X-Wing (Huge) seen Star Trek get slammed, heard of Wings of War anecdotally and assumed it came under "niche historical", and have never heard of the latter. So, I think the dogfighting games bit of the market is relatively uncluttered.

Wings of War is the ancestor of X-Wing and Attack Wing. Also I made a mistake earlier, Wings of War is not getting new releases, Wings of Glory is, but Wings of Glory is essentially the same game revived at a new publisher after the original went bust.

Even if you're being charitable and assume they had a change of heart due to AoS flopping, they still wrote lovely, unbalanced rules for the new Start Collecting boxes for their cash cow, 40k. That was only a few weeks ago. Likewise, they've been claiming they're a "model company" for years, but their models look like poo poo.

My understanding is that Horus Heresy has basically as good rules as possible when building from the base of 40k. I dunno, I think it's worth waiting to see how their first thing works out.

I feel like the specialist games reboot was already in the works when AoS got released, but the flop of that soggy turd in the punchbowl probably accelerated whatever release timeline they're trying to work with. Also, lol at GW for even thinking about trying to compete with X-Wing.

GW could buck all apparent trends and put out a good game with reasonably priced miniatures for AI and it would still get crushed by X-wing because everyone in the loving world loves Star Wars and their franchise products are in every store. Even if AI is great you are going to be selling it to nerds online or people rolling through the local game store. Meanwhile I have seen X-wing on sale at Barnes and Noble and CVS. They could probably lose the entire miniature gamer demographic to GW and still be killing it on sales.

That's not what I'd heard; my understanding was that 30k managed to be balanced only because you're playing marines vs marines. Aside from 30k, everything I've heard about Forge World's rules is that they're actually less balanced than GW proper. But then I haven't played 30k (marines vs marines games aren't that interesting to me).

My main worry would be that GW probably thinks they'll make a lot more money from SG than they actually will and that they'll kill the department again in a few years when they realize the truth.

The Miia from Monster Musume bodypillow was 800 bucks a couple of pages late but I like how snake lady has a buttcrack for absolutely no anatomically justifiable reason in fact, her buttcrack seems to be correlated with a ridge on the back of her tail so I guess the crack somehow instantly inverts when it passes from skin to scales

JerryLee posted:a couple of pages late but I like how snake lady has a buttcrack for absolutely no anatomically justifiable reason The tail is actually legs, rather than being a true tail, i.e. an extension of the spine. I have absolutely no idea how that works anatomically, but if you look at it as a costume, which it basically is, it's a weird pair of socks rather than a weird skirt.

My guess would be that AI is a smaller project than the Blood Bowl redo, since the claim is it's a board game like Calth (or Dreadfleet, lol) and not a full-fledged skirmish game like Blood Bowl likely is.

I mean, I know she moves by slithering and stuff, just the tail begins where legs should, instead of continuing at the base of her spine where an actual tail would be. It's also true of the spider girl, who has the lower abdomen of a spider where her legs should be. (I'm fully aware the real reason for this is "We have to give our anime monster person a butt" and not that they're seriously implying that tails actually extend from the hips, but that's the net effect of how they've drawn it).

So it's like she's just sitting on the spiderpart. Rachne has the worst design. I also don't like her as a character. She doesn't respect the other character's boundaries at all. I don't understand why she's such a fanfavorite. Rachne is the worst.

god dammit it's slaanesh, two as, one e, pronounced like slah -nesh, if you say "slah neeeesh" you are literally hitler Also this was over 150 posts ago but, the 10% vs 15% numbers for "how much of GW was Fantasy" are all estimates, and badly out of date ones. Basically back in 2012 when GW was pursuing its most infamous of its long line of infamous lawsuits, an executive was testifying about something or other and happened to mention a figure which nerds then did a lot of handwavy math on and came up with some kind of estimate of how much of GW's revenues were Fantasy. That figure was given under oath, but it was not a financial statement, probably represented an approximation from multiple previous years, and in any case is now very out of date. The reality is that GW does not report a breakdown of its revenues from each line of games/minis/etc. At best it has in previous years broken out revenues from paint, but only because it wanted to brag about how much money the new paint line had brought in. Nobody outside the board room actually knows for a fact how much Fantasy represented or how much Age of Sigmar now represents, and anyone who claims otherwise is confused or lying. Also also, take a number, reduce it by 15%, and then increase the result by 15%. Is your final number equal to your original number? no, no it isn't, yet people are very lazy about how they're phrasing drops vs. increases vs. percentages of revenues.
