Saw Mr. Bones do a lore video for conquest months ago and thought it looked awesome, but had no one to play with. Then, for my birthday, a friend of mine a few hours away said he wanted a new hobby. I know he too thinks of the fall of the Roman Empire, so I told him about the Old Dominion and showed him the lore video.

Now I bought Weaver Courts and Dweghom first blood boxes and pre-ordered their reinforcement packs, and he bought Old Dominion and a religious faction of the hundred kingdoms he likes the lore of. He also bought me the collector's edition lore book for my birthday. Probably nobody else who plays near us in Maine, US, but it'll be awesome to have a friend to start out with.

I'm a professional GM and big TTRPG hobbyist in addition to my business. How is this game? How crunchy? Have people had a lot of fun with it?

I'm priming the first set of models as we speak, Alpha Strike box will be primed tonight. I'm thinking of trying a woodland camo scheme, naming my first lance "Robin's Rangers", AKA the Merry Men. Head cannon is that they specialized in forested encounters, opening up with Longbow missiles from far away before running in for the kill. This guide seems like a great path to making them look decent.

So, hot or not?

I'm going to be coming in to some credit at my LGS (cashing in Magic cards) and they are saying there is a new edition of Battletech coming out/becoming available. It's been hard to find release dates and such online, and was wondering what the best first steps into the hobby would be? I've got a ton of paint from other minis, enjoy the universe from video games, but I'm wondering what my best path to getting into combat would be as far as purchases, dates to wait for, etc.

My real concern is that my LGS is going to take forever to get it in and I'll have lost interest by the time they have some, but that's an ADHD bad at waiting problem.

Hey all! Newish DnD player here, I loved BG3 and I love DnD, but im not having much luck finding a gm and group. I dont know why! Im very accepting and accommodating, and Im just looking for a fun reliable punctual rp focused nonmurder hobo group for me and my +1 that are forgiving, easy going, but serious at the right times, never ever micro aggress, bring snacks (Amazon ships to my house), believe in romance, like Pina coladas, getting caught in The rain, and never question or criticize our actions.

​

If the gm could use my specific vtt the specific way I like it to my specific unspoken standards I'd appreciate it. I have a specific time slot at 5 Am in the morning in GMT that im unable to be flexible on, but Im sure we'll find 2-14 players after getting enough applications for like minded people. I have 6 3rd party resources I foundd on dm's guild in the dollar bin that I insist on using, and I think due to how good my oc's 49 page backstory is (which Ill need you to read to tell the next story in their life) that I should start with more magic items from their former adventures. I really love role-playing, so ill need you to be available between games for multiple hour planning sessions on how to make me and my partner's characters a bit more special than any other player. Oh, and if the two of us fight during session, don't worry, its our kink, and will totally not ruin the game.

​

Paid GMs need not apply, games are meant to be fun and free. But I will need to borrow money from the kind gm who donates their time, as an accommodation for my severe kleptomania. If you think me tracing other player's locations and stealing the copper pipes in their houses for money to buy custom miniatures of my oc is wrong, then were probably not meant to game together if youre that close minded.

​

Also halflings are gross and if you play one Ill scream if you ever touch me with your grubby little hobbit fingers. And I need all the other players to be super sexy, because I lose interest if there are uggos in the group.

​

2014 edition only.

​

Oh, and if you don't have every book on DnD beyond, czepeku maps, and a man servant to roll my dice for me Ill hold my breath till I pass out mid session.

​

Again, no paid gms, you people are ruining the hobby. And no one from Kentucky, their chicken made me sick once and Ill never forgive them.

​

DM for more info, cant wait to hear from you all! Ill consider all your applications and get back to you in 2 to 26 business days, or Ill get arrested for stealing and then it will likely be 2 to 5 years after the Tesla incident.

As a GM I'm digging into this system and I'm curious- do most people play as Spider-Man, Luke Cage, Scarlet Witch, etc. with the pregens or do most people want to create their own unique hero? I personally can't imagine not playing my own custom super hero with a power set I get to sculpt.

Thoughts?
