Mister Monkey Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Never played it in all honesty..... one of those ones I picked up for a nosey, and not played any of the others.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 The system itself is great. I just wanted to use the Chaos rules to create some villains for my friend's Dark Heresy game, but it didn't transfer quite well. The Chaos villains had to be much higher level to equal out in terms of power... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hmm interesting, suppose it has to do with the chaos one having both marines and cultists in the one party, trying to level them out a bit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah, I think it is. Like I said, it's really only a problem if you're trying to cross one system to another. Well, she didn't come out perfect...a couple patches of paint I couldn't get rid of are a little obvious in the primer. But...she's good enough that I think I can make do!

edonil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not too bad. Got a couple models primed and ready for painting. Probably gonna start with Magnus, get myself back into painting before I take a stab at Monique... How's you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 As good as can be at work. Great night of archery last night. Back to painting tonight. Try and get another nomad done (2 left) and some more work on Lazarus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Very early stage. Bolt gun metal all over and a black wash. I've not decided on the colour of the armoured plates. Maybe a mix to make it more patchwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hope so. Often I think something will work but then it looks horrid once done (my Collodi for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Eh, this isn't so complicated an idea, at least. ---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ---------- Hey Steam, what's your experience with mysteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Why do you think I'm on the island. The van broke down while we were investigating ghosts at the stone circles. The girls disappeared, we ate Scooby and I bludgeoned Fred to death after he annoyed me. What sort of mysteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm working on the plot for an encounter. As much as I think of it being the first I'll run, I'm not sure it'll be a short enough mystery for one night, though. It's a serial killer mystery, trying to figure out how to do stuff for clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 How do they get the clues? Spot checks, dialogue via NPCs, are they guaranteed to get them all or just some? Does it have to all be done in one night or can you split it into acts? You know, act 1 figure out it is a serial killer and not some monster. Act 2 work out who it is. Act 3 catch them.

edonil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hm. It might be better to do it in acts, which means it might not be suitable for doing something with testing. And all of the other questions are excellent ones...I'm not sure what to do about that, honestly. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Probably a mix. Guarantee they get given some so they have a chance but then have bonus clues that they can get if they think to search in the right locations or ask the right questions of an NPC. So you can have a villager or someone run up to them spouting useful information but it's up to them to go and ask others. Likewise there can be the obvious bodies and pools of blood but maybe they have to search for scuffs on the floor or bullet holes in walls (what's the setting?). Best way is plan out the whole murder(s) writing down where the murderer and victim went so who might have seen something. What signs of struggle or other details are at the scene etc. ---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ---------- Plus have plenty of red herrings.

edonil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I like red herrings, lol. Especially with butlers! ---------- Post added at 05:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 AM ---------- The setting is Malifaux, actually. There's a few interesting bits I've got for the mystery itself, but I'm still not sure how things should go. I have my villain, along with motivation for it, plus another bit to add a twist to the ending. Oooo... >.> That just gave me an idea... And this is why people who are willing to have ideas bounced off them are the unsung heroes of creativity, it gets the brain going. Anyway, I just need to figure out how to get them to the villain in time for things to work out. Here's the plot info the group is going to be getting, taken from Eureka: In a major city, a series of brutal murders occurs every three nights. The first murder was followed, three days later, by another three murders. Those murders were followed, three days later, by nine more murders. It’s the first night of the cycle, and the city’s residents are panicking as they expect 27 more murders to take place in two days’ time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Damn, now that's a hard working killer. Must be an old fella, kids these days just don't have that self motivated drive or work ethic. Feel free to PM or email me if you need to bounce an idea off me.

SteamHammer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Do they have to get to the villain in time to stop those murders. Or can they have another go at 81? ---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ---------- Seen PM, ignore that last post.

Dustcrusher Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 If you're bored, go look up Russian miniatures games. There's one that looked like sort of a non-hex take on Heroscape- everything from Amazons to Pike & Shotte-era troops to future gangers, any of which could fight each other. I had many reasons to not be fond of 4th... >.> Speaking of Alkemy, apparently official RPG books compatible with 4th Edition came out a few years ago...only in French though :-( Still, it'd give me a reason to play 4th. I restrained myself- a starter box + the exclusive Doomtrooper for Warzone and $5 for an Arena Rex mini-rulebook. Both are subject to change, but if I leave them as-is I won't be too unhappy.

ThePandaDirector Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) @Dustrcusher: You should look into Arena Rex more if you haven't already. The more I see the more I think it will be my new favourite game (except possibly Alkemy) =] Edited April 4, 2013 by ThePandaDirector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
