MAGNAGOTHICA MALEGHAST

[hexed horizon]

yepo >:3

[nova mason]

Hell yeah all sacrifices time

[jovial tulip]

souls souls souls souls

mmmmm

yummmy souls

[hexed horizon]

Can't kill your necro if half the board is walls

[nova mason]

Me and my inverted cross squad here to put the fear of the undead anti Christ in you

[candid monolith]

Sacrifices trapping your enemies behind walls

[arctic solar]

walls can be broken tbf

[hexed horizon]

PFFFFFFFFFFF

[night hedge]

yeah walls have 2 hp and are autohit

[hexed horizon]

Who's breaking walls?

Nerds, that's who

[jovial tulip]

and bound devils

[hexed horizon]

cool guys give up and take the draw

[night hedge]

the bound devil ACT names are so cool

[nova mason]

How many sacrifices could I field in an average game?

[candid monolith]

I think I'll be living in goregrinder country

[arctic solar]

8-10

[jovial tulip]

^

[nova mason]

Hell yeah

I'm now morbidly curious how viable this would be

[night hedge]

eh, you can do a lot of doom attacks

[candid monolith]

Wait for turn four get points galore

[night hedge]

it's probably not optimal dead souls but it's not gonna be bad

[nova mason]

Lol. Just fishing for the "now perish"

[candid monolith]

It will at least be funny

[nova mason]

Which ultimately is what matters lol

[tame pasture]

alright mechanics chat time

this funny thing

[umbral cipher]

Your big issue with running nothing but most faction's Thralls is that you might struggle with armoured units and big CC stuff

[tame pasture]

bone shards

who's turn is it tracking

the target or the ammo goblin

[arctic solar]

ammo goblin

[jovial tulip]

it does help that doom is there though, and the necro does a lot of damage

[lethal trench]

The Goblin IMO yeah

[arctic solar]

'this units next turn'

[umbral cipher]

Doom helps a good bit!

[night hedge]

operators seem super tanky tbh, 4+ to hit + armour

[nova mason]

The target I think

[umbral cipher]

But notably, your necro does have to stay alive, too
You can body block with the sacrifices and hide behind walls

But tis still a worry

[jovial tulip]

just wait till round 5, get the big sword, kill whatever is left after the doomening

[arctic solar]

you have Dread Presence, it's fine

[nova mason]

Cuz the target can take up to three damage before the curse stops

Unless the goblin is what is taking damage

[arctic solar]

Check the clause before that, though

oh hm

[umbral cipher]

Hmm. From the wording's consistency I'd say it would be the target

[arctic solar]

no I see what you mean

[nova mason]

The prior sentence makes the unit the target

So "this unit" it's just a bit vaguely worded to refer to target

[night hedge]

exorcist and dark priest duelling at the start of round 5

[nova mason]

Target unit should be the wording but yeah

Likely clearer language would be "lasts until end of target units..."

But Idk I could be wrong

[deft marsh]

I want this to be a 90s Gameboy game that I have to link my Gameboy to someone else's to have a match

Vibes

[glacial junco]

Screen watches you

[hexed horizon]

If you used a 2 inch grid... that's 16" by 16"...

Big minis....

[tame pasture]

first encounter over

the paladins lost

[candid monolith]

Thinking I'll default to:

• Painwheel x2 (2)
• Warhead x4 (2)
• Berserker (1)
  And see where that goes

[night hedge]

did the power of skeleton headshots carry the day

[deft marsh]

whats the big titanic option for carcass all about?

[brittle otter]

Awesome

[arctic solar]

I'd say its mostly artillery with a bit of ability to charge through walls and break formations

[keen ravine]

Egis Weapon is a good tank and base of fire yeah

Can slap away melee weirdos in a pinch

[tame pasture]

egis weapon carried here

[deft marsh]

ohh the ability to punch through walls seems significant for them

[tame pasture]

same for sniper

[keen ravine]

Good for formation buffs because it's big and thus can come into basal contact with more units

[tame pasture]

double tap is like

really good

for snowballing

[night hedge]

i feel like egis's main goal is to provide decent damage but also clear enemy cover

as well as be good for formation and provide cover itself

[tame pasture]

its a big buff wall

[night hedge]

mortar's really good if you hit those headshots

[keen ravine]

Egis Weapon and extended barrel Barrelform 🤔

[night hedge]

what turn did it end?

[keen ravine]

Is this anything

[night hedge]

it is

[arctic solar]

barrelform is cracked imo

deathmark is nuts

[tame pasture]

i actually didn't use deathmark in this encounter

[tame pasture]

early round 5

was effectively decided by a miracle role on their holy body

they failed and stayed dead

paladin has nobody to bodyblock with

boom headshot

[arctic solar]

it's virtually 2-3 damage with no hit roll
it's a bit slow but can do numbers imo

[opaque socket]

Also yeah i can confirm

I think Carcass looks deceptively like the begineer faction

Goregrinder look a lot easier to play

[tame pasture]

100%

Carcass is 100% my type of faction though

[patent steeple]

goregrinders is def the beginner faction

[opaque socket]

90% of my turns I was like "oh I fucked this up"

[tame pasture]

my brain is already aligned to this

[opaque socket]

oh yeah its pretty sweet

[tame pasture]

like my only major mistake was not recognising deathmark

[patent steeple]

how is vtt support looking btw? i havent backread yet

[opaque socket]

My main issue was legit that I fielded an ammo goblin when really i wanted a barrelform

tbh

[tame pasture]

My lil goblin gets lots of headpats

sat next to my egis and just spammed reloads

[umbral cipher]

Really gotta find somebody to try this game out with

[deft marsh]

dakka dakka

i might try and rope a friend into it if i can set up an easy-to-run vtt world in foundry or something

[glacial junco]

There looked there was two seperate people working on different projects tbh

[thick sphinx]

Folks are working on stuff for the icon thingamajig, foundry, and r20 I think

Most games rn I think are being played on r20 due to low setup costs

[umbral cipher]

DEATH ROW DEALERS

HOUSE CARCASS
Malice: Hatred
Dark Power: 7
Unit Count: 5

SHEKEL, OBOL, CASH, COIN [Gunwight Thrall ×4, Tactical Reload]
BLACK GOLD [Enforcer Scion, Shield Charge]
BANKSY & REGGIS [Ammo Goblin Freak ×2, Hot Chamber]

Necromancer: MIDNIGHT MARKET
Operator
Traits: Formation, Hot Clip, Gun Kata
Act: Akimbo, Unholy Sixgun, Devil Bullet, Grenade Jump
Soul: Reload Slide, Bullet Time, Double Tap, Bullet Sonata

I wanna run this lot

[thick sphinx]

But that'll change as the coders get stuff optimized

[glacial junco]

We just used r20 for our first match and there was enough there to use without any addons

[patent steeple]

oh okay i just knew gambaina was workin on something yesterday

[deft marsh]

might try and set it up on owlbear

[tame pasture]

sorry can i just clarify that like

tom

thank you so much

Duel - Blood Grinder - Loathing - No Heresy

C.A.R.C.A.S.S. E.A.T.E.R.

VS

The Unholy Order of Penitent Knights Of St. Judas

^this

is so cool

[candid monolith]

Right

[umbral cipher]

just goes fuckin hard

[raw coral]

I'm gonna be doing an owlbear setup tonight, might make some terrain squares for elevation, stairs, etc. and post then here

[opaque socket]

do self splash stuff still deal damage to the unit using it ?

i forgot

[thick sphinx]

No

[lethal trench]

splash doesn't affect the unit it originates from

[thick sphinx]

Splash effects do not affect the targeted unit

[opaque socket]

oh that makes some stuff way better

[thick sphinx]

But they do affect walls

[glacial junco]

Splash effecting walls is the best

HUGE bonus fr

i assume its just consumed like normal

[thick sphinx]

There's still an open question on how strength tokens work with splash damage though

(Sorry, brain had a hiccup there)

[arctic solar]

just noticed that scum (garg thrall) have armor, holy crap

that's rude

[thick sphinx]

Only 1 hp though

[arctic solar]

still
protection from a lot of AoE, there

[thick sphinx]

Most thralls have 2

Ayup. Gonna make Goregrinder's life a lot less pleasant

[umbral cipher]

Armour/Ward is really interesting to me mechanically because the ways to bypass it are:
Use a different type of damage
Deal more than 1 damage

You could use Fire or Toxic against armour units, or you could just crank up Strength tokens to bust through

[uneven prawn]

question to those of you who have played it on a VTT already: how did you do it and can i play with you?

[tame pasture]

but yeah the tldr on how to copy the basics of my setup is

1. Use the simple world-building system
2. install bar brawl module for better hp bars
3. install chat portrait module
4. install combat utility belt and use the condition lab to set up the 6 conditions + faction specific ones
5. install global progress clocks or lancer clocks to make adding soul clocks easier
6. use Illandril's Token Tooltips with the screenshotted settings
7. install lancer initiative
8. when making characters, to have the macro replied to & Illandril's Tooltips work set up tokens to have attributes with the keys in the second screenshot
9. install status icon counters
   (OPTIONAL) 10. Install minimal ui and splatter, modify the settings to your needs
   (ALSO OPTIONAL) 11. install custom fonts, create a folder in your foundry data for font files, download the .tff for metal_blackletter and just dump the contents into the fonts folder. Then in the custom fonts settings, set the local font directory to the font folder and the primary font to be the filename of the metal_blackletter file.

for the people who were asking how to copy my setup

its not super fancy but it works

and everything is harder to read

just as tom intended

[tame pasture]

i love headshotting paladins

[hexed horizon]

Is it EGIS or AEGIS?

[brittle otter]

Enemy card says EGIS

[cinder isle]

it's an acronym, right? I think it says E.G.I.S.

or uh

god what's the term for that

where it has the periods

[pale echo]

EGIS that's a pun on "aegis"

[cinder isle]

there's a distinction between that and an acronym, isn't there?

[tame pasture]

yeh

[pale echo]

Abbreviation?

[thick sphinx]

Can't decide if I like By the Throttle Despised or The Meat On Metal Boys (AKA MOMmy's Boys) better for my Goregrinder Dark Mass

[tame pasture]

the 'a' slipped in

[thick sphinx]

Initialism

[cinder isle]

no no where it's still an acronym but instead of being SHIELD it's S.H.I.E.L.D.

I swear there's a difference in terminology

[graceful osprey]

Exoskeletal Gun Is Scary (E.G.I.S.)

[cinder isle]

I might just be going crazy

[patent steeple]

thanks! ill set this up

what did u use for icons for status effects

[glacial junco]

Can we pin this? @primal crypt Foundry Quick setup.

Idk if that'd be ok but damn is that a useful list/guide

[thick sphinx]

We might want it as a living doc as the tooling gets better?

[tame pasture]

#icon-resources message

[patent steeple]

yeah i was half considering using those too

cool

[tame pasture]

turns out the overlap is close enough that they're still relevant

[glacial junco]

Thanks you rule.

[cobalt junco]

If an ability has a range of 4, is that equivilent to 1-4? or only 4 spaces away

[patent steeple]

1-4 was my read

[thick sphinx]

"Any character inside their range" means 1-4 by my reading

Sine a lower bound isn't specified

[brittle otter]

I just finished importing the third faction

Typing out all those necromancer abilities is a drain on my energy

[deft marsh]

tis unfortunate that copy and pasting does not work

[brittle otter]

But being able to customize your tokens like this is worth

[patent steeple]

it looks very nice

[patent steeple]

were u considering exporting the actor data for all the factions at some point

or was that not something u had the time for

[tame pasture]

it'll be slow

[patent steeple]

fair nuff

[brittle otter]

Once my thing is done I will jam it all into compendiums and put it into a module

[patent steeple]

nice, thanks

[tame pasture]

i do have abhorrents though

[brittle otter]

So all actors with abilities, upgrades to slap onto the tokens, all the necromancer stuff, yadda yadda

How you choose to play with initiative, tracking turns, putting down terrain, will be up to you

[cobalt junco]

I gotcha - I was taking the fact that some abilities do specify a lower bound to read it way more restrictively

like a 1-3 range etc

[prime portal]

Hmm

What houses do Geb and/or Tar-Baphon belong to

[thick sphinx]

Is there an ability that specifies 1 as its minimum range?

[vocal star]

I think the scum does

[thick sphinx]

As in the Pathfinder necromancers? Tar-Barphon is Deadsouls, not sure about Geb

[deft marsh]

tar-baphon would totally be Deadsouls

Geb i feel like might fall under Gargamox

[thick sphinx]

Huh, so it does. Not sure then, we'd need to ask Tom. I still lean towards that being a formatting thing over the spacing needing to be that specific

[thick sphinx]

I felt the same but no plague associations that I remember

[halcyon wharf]

I suspect that's formatting

[deft marsh]

yeah i went less for plague and more for like

slow decay

[thick sphinx]

The more I think about it the more I think the range question could go either way

[rugged musk]

Devil damage walks into a bar

There is no counter

[vocal star]

Given it's the only non attack ability to do that, I might chock it up to being a typo

[rugged musk]

Quick question on turns; is it "player 1 turn, a unit moves, acts/moves, then the turn ends. Player 2 turn, a unit moves, acts/moves then the turn ends, repeat until all units have had their turns" or is it "player 1 moves then acts/moves all their units, then player 2 does the same"?

[pale echo]

First one

[patent steeple]

abhorrers are all in

[rugged musk]

Thought so, but wanted to be clear

[silk storm]

I forgot I have access to my uni's machining lab, 100% about to convert all the unit art into CAM files and make a metal Maleghast set

Hopefully next week once midterms pass

[vocal star]

Looking over some other units the sacrifice has something similar with beckon.

But its range 2-3 which makes sense because it's a pull effect.

I'm almost certain psudopod is supposed to be the same.

It doesn't make sense to pull something already adjacent

[thick sphinx]

Doomblade on the Dark Priest is also 1-2

As is the Bloody Flail

[steady tangle]

should i spend my money
on the funny bones game

[pale echo]

it's very funny and very boney

[deft marsh]

only like 7 bucks rounded up

its cheap to get

[patent steeple]

its 2 bucks on toms patreon

[deft marsh]

comes with assets

[brittle otter]

It's currently very slimy for me

I love this goof

[steady tangle]

there are bones in the slime

[glacial junco]

slimy boiz

[rugged shore]

Is it intended that scum don't have the thrall trait?

[glacial junco]

Very scarey honestly

[brittle otter]

It is supposed to have it

[steady tangle]

😨

[thick sphinx]

No. All thralls should have the trait

[glacial junco]

Good at locking down units because I never want to have em explode

[candid monolith]

I think it's just the Abhorrers who have no thralls right

[rugged shore]

Ok good just wanted to make sure since garg doesn't have a tyrant, made me question if it was intent

[pale echo]

Correct

All armies are missing one category

[rugged shore]

Love garg though

Can't wait to torture my friends with infect tokens in two games

[gray crystal]

Question about the DeadSouls soul ability Twist Sinews. Is the unit moved any unit within range 2-4 of your necromancer or only the unit who's turn it is

[brittle otter]

Okay the Leech is pretty crazy

[naive glacier]

ill see if I can do a quick pass for typos etc this weekend

anything without a listed min. range should be range 1-x

ie range 4 is just range 1-4

[patent steeple]

necro i think

[naive glacier]

min range only applies when listed

[brittle otter]

Combine it with the host

[thick sphinx]

Tom, if you're lurking, mind clarifying what pulling a unit on a diagonal from you looks like? The Painghouls want to know

[glacial junco]

this was asked and is a question that made me question too

[naive glacier]

it can move to either space

both are technically closer

yes

[night hedge]

heya, would it be ok to print maleghast out to have as a physical copy? will put in a suitably cool folder

[silent sluice]

I mean it's your pdf? Careful of all the black tho

[brittle otter]

Oooh the black pages are going to cost ya

[glacial junco]

I printed it off a work printer into booklet form. It looks neat in grayscale

[candid monolith]

🤔 I do have an office printer

They'd never know

[glacial junco]

If it can do double sided you can print 4 to a page in booklet form and its nice and compact and readable

[jovial tulip]

I have one of those bighuge inktank printers

It shall be in full colour >:)

[glacial junco]

I did the same for BitD and Icon since i'm in love with booklets to read when out of the house for stuff

Its doable and i endorse using company assets for hobbies when no one is looking

[thick sphinx]

Sweet. Small follow up, would the next square moved (for a Pull of 2 or 3) then bring them back to the diagonal or could they keep be pulled sideways until they're orthogonal to you?

[candid monolith]

Imagine trying to get by as a delivery driver in this city

[silent sluice]

not me using two Painwheels to make a motorcycle 💀

[thick sphinx]

They keep your food warm too!

[nova mason]

In theory do the sacrifices fly or hover?

[elfin ermine]

I've been rotating Abhorrer flavor in my head, and keep thinking about how demons work in Ars Magica
where magic can't get information out of them - their true nature is lies, so lies are what you get
(Heretics say this means theres no way to tell that The Divine isn't just a really powerful demon)

[nova mason]

Not sure if strapping them together would be a plane or a hover craft

[pale echo]

Anzenmezzeron moments

[timber onyx]

Holy shit rad

[brittle otter]

2 to go

[lapis sun]

Is someone working on a foundry extension?

I'd love to help out

[brave robin]

also am i missing something or is there no unit pic for the different necromancers?

[patent steeple]

there is not

[silent sluice]

just gotta use the portraits

[patent steeple]

status effects all done

i can export my config but it requires the icon status icons module

[lapis sun]

is this a module or a system you're working on

[patent steeple]

#1164643959721693184 message

i doubt there will be a system for maleghast

[lapis sun]

isn't worth making or isn't possible?

[patent steeple]

isnt worth making

i mean i suppose if one really wanted you could

i just think you can much more easily set up via simple worldbuilding or hacking another system

but i cant code

so idk how accessible it is

[night hedge]

i feel like goregrinders would like wall creation just so they can hide behind them

[deft marsh]

Commit heresy

Bring some deathsouls or whatever

[night hedge]

i think chosen would be the best pick, or banshee

[tame pasture]

genuinely not worth the effort

the system isn't complex enough to need it

[brittle otter]

I am currently using the ICON system to finish it up

Just need to import two more factions, will do that later tonight

[brittle otter]

These are great though

Wouldn't mind a little yoinkety

[night hedge]

devil impact is super thematic but i have no idea if it's really worth it

[lapis sun]

Yeah I'm just a bit new to the foundry game rip

[night hedge]

bar one hitting a holy body anyhow

[patent steeple]

ill post em in a sec

one second

[tame pasture]

currently either jerry rigging the icon system or just using simple worldbuilding is enough

[nova mason]

In fairness they are meant to sorta be blorbos lol

[brittle otter]

So nearly done

[lapis sun]

how are y'all getting the player tokens and board in there? just creating the scenes by hand?

[tame pasture]

hand made ye

[lapis sun]

mhmm i'll wait then

[tame pasture]

i use icon tilesets

[patent steeple]

@brittle otter just make sure u got the icon status icons module

yeah same

[brittle otter]

Oh yeah that is a dependency for running the ICON system

[patent steeple]

different colored tiles

also ill have jsons for goregrinders

in a few

[tame pasture]

maleghast and icon both share being really easy to make tile maps for

[opaque socket]

tbh I think its possible for someone to make a system for maleghast BECAUSE its not that complex

[lapis sun]

is this on foundry v12 yet?

[pale echo]

I think you use it for taking down enemy necros

[opaque socket]

https://foundryvtt.com/packages/laf

you know like

this exists

for example

[tame pasture]

fair

im mostly just trying to set the expectation that you wont need a module

[brittle otter]

Where do I put this?

[tame pasture]

im sure someone will eventually have a system made for it

just gotta get that zombie following behind the system

[patent steeple]

import this into condition lab

[patent steeple]

wha...theres v12 already?

in any case its on v11

[patent steeple]

yeah an absolutely fair point, just wanna note i have no skill in coding so i have absolutely no idea how easy it is to code a system. im just parroting what others have said wrt the difficulty of making a system

[crisp night]

Just got off work and all I'm gonna do for the next two hours is make maleghast teams

[brittle otter]

It shows properly in condition lab, but on on the tokens itself

[lapis sun]

i might as well give it a whirl, it'll be fun to learn about foundry at the very least

[deft marsh]

i kinda just planned on doing the pinned instructions and then settling the rest with dice rolls and status markers

[patent steeple]

you might need combat utility belt/condition lab

oh wait u already have that

could u send a screenshot?

[brittle otter]

Getting utility belt now

Hrmmmmm

I have it imported proper like

[tame pasture]

im already plottin lore for my fights now

[brittle otter]

But the statuses are just the ICON ones

The added strength is there though

[tame pasture]

C.A.R.C.A.S.S and Abhorrors are gonna have a lil scuffle in the Pauper's pits over who can harvest some bones

hmmm

[crisp night]

this is the best part of any warsim

[tame pasture]

🤝

[crisp night]

god the carcass necromancer really is just the coolest looking

[patent steeple]

i see...ill admit im a bit of a novice when it comes to stuff like this unfortunately 😭

[tame pasture]

i gotta do a shitpost thralls only fight sometime though

[brittle otter]

Likewise, likewise

[tame pasture]

just a slap fight

[crisp night]

i do genuinely wonder which faction is best at thrallfighting

i'd assume carcass

carcass or goregrinder

[patent steeple]

perhaps its an option in condition lab/cub? remove default icons?

[tame pasture]

i think goregrinder wins

[crisp night]

i feel like gargamox would be the worst but that's based entirely on speculation

[tame pasture]

just by sheer trading power

[brittle otter]

Holy shit you legend

[tame pasture]

Abhorrers would be amazing at it

[brittle otter]

[crisp night]

i'm sad abhorrers have no thrall but i understand why

[brittle otter]

We zoomin now

[tame pasture]

look at that shit eating grin

i want to headshot him

[primal nest]

Honestly I feel like they would be one of the best

[brittle otter]

Gargamox is so fucking fun

[primal nest]

Mox Populi go BRRRRRRRT

[brittle otter]

They are gonna be my boys pretty sure

[crisp night]

actually nvm i just realized none of the thralls have non physical damage

right

[arctic solar]

skum has armor yeh

[primal nest]

And armor

[crisp night]

yeah okay nvm i forgot scum has armor

they might sweep

[primal nest]

I don’t think grinders can do anything about that lmao

[arctic solar]

stitch has strength tokens which I think is one of the few counters

carcass can break armor

[crisp night]

oh yeah formation

can you tell i haven't yet though of thingsoutside of isolation

[brittle otter]

Oops you slipped in one of my millions of hazards

[tame pasture]

im still standing in the hazard

i wanted to reload

[patent steeple]

goregrinders all done

[tame pasture]

same foundry setup still?

[patent steeple]

yep

ill be uploading it in a sec

[tame pasture]

nice nice nice

anywho last shitpost

[patent steeple]

...anyone know how to compress stuff with 7zip lmfao

[silent sluice]

?

[crisp night]

i like this one

[silent sluice]

right click > 7-zip > add to archive

[patent steeple]

like put multiple files into a .zip

thanks

[copper crane]

Quick question about Plaguelord, is Virulence intended to let you detonate a plague token on any unit with a plague token or specifically the one you targeted with Virulence?

[tame pasture]

put in folder

right click

[patent steeple]

here

[tame pasture]

send to compressed file

beautiful

[patent steeple]

tell me if theres a fuck up

[primal nest]

I assume on the unit

[brittle otter]

I presume the one you target

[tame pasture]

outside of font stuff

seems to be fine

[patent steeple]

huh, why is that different?

[tame pasture]

probably module fuckery

[crisp night]

blood rage doesn't wanna be extra

[tame pasture]

fonts are the least of my problems

[primal nest]

Question, do you have to be adjacent to a LoS blocker in order to benefit from it?

[tame pasture]

yes

[patent steeple]

starting on gargamox now

[tame pasture]

i'll probably get the deadsouls done today btw

[patent steeple]

awesome

[tame pasture]

my bias on these is 100% towards what my group wants to play btw

[shut hare]

real

[tame pasture]

biased and ghoul pilled

[shut hare]

me and my bro set up a super basic foundry system last night and we only filled out the factions we wanted to play lmfao

the most basic combat took 2 hours for us to complete and reached round 5

[tame pasture]

lookinn like candy

[shut hare]

i can 100% see why abbadon was like "round 6 and the game ends"

[tame pasture]

yeah 2 hours seems to be like

[shut hare]

but im sure things'll speed up as we learn more and just start automating things in our head

[tame pasture]

what average game length will be

since mine ended round 5 after 2 hours

obv this will rapidly accelerate with experience

[shut hare]

yeah

[patent steeple]

what color codes are these

[shut hare]

abhorrers is a really fun faction btw

[glacial junco]

candy corn flavored

[tame pasture]

Abhorrers #ffcc3c
CARCASS #ff1684
Goregrinders #ff7c2c

just nabbin the colours from the pdf

[elfin ermine]

I kinda love how many mechanics Stance fits under one keyword

[tame matrix]

Just checking but I assume the SOUL Harvest rule applies for each unit, correct? As in the first time a given unit is slain, you get SOUL (thus avoiding shenanigans of potentially reviving and rekilling units for more and more soul.)

[elfin ermine]

its got on / off turns, abilities that deal X damage, abilities that change at later rounds

[tame matrix]

Because the first time I read it I kind of thought it only worked once per game the first time a unit died.

[night hedge]

idk gargamox ones have armour at base

i think it'd be between garg, DS and igorri

garg's have armour so are the most durable, hard countering goregrinder thralls and generally ignoring other thralls' damage

[glacial junco]

Igorri thralls drop 2 bodies and can splash easy. And can hold tokens that the necro puts down

I think stitchs are mad good

[night hedge]

yeah i agree

[pale echo]

Correct

[umbral cipher]

RICKERTOCK
An eclectic house headed by the Harrowed Coven, a shrouded group of witches, tinkers, and soul distillers who have gained enough collective power to be almost akin to a Devil when together, able to bestow power unto those who swear allegiance. Followers of the Coven research and practice the arts of Spirit-binding, imbuing spirits of the damned and necromantic power into otherwise ordinary objects to shift them into Ghoulcores, which in turn power various constructs of scrap, bone, and whatever else can be scrounged together. Rickertock necromancers often turn their own souls into Ghoulcores, forsaking flesh and a stable body for the sake of being so much easier to reassemble. 

kicking around homebrew house ideas in my brain, no real mechanical thoughts yet besides maybe focusing on stacking up Vulnerable and being annoying persistent

[glacial junco]

I'm going to be swapping in 2 more thralls instead of a Lycan so i have more reliable blockers and attackers

Lycan is tough to get his Lope off correctly since i have to have bodies on the spaces where he wants to ignore hazards

[gloomy shell]

Skimming through now

[umbral cipher]

Lope feels like a trait that is mostly just nice when it happens but you don't have to necessarily focus around it

[gloomy shell]

hey is there any guidance on a campaign styled play? like ticking up dark power?

[umbral cipher]

Nah

[tame pasture]

also the flight or fight reaction i had when i realised miracle still triggers SOUL harvest

was genuine

[umbral cipher]

Yeah
You wouldn't get it when they die a second time but you do get it the first!

[glacial junco]

I NEEDED it to go off vs a dirty gargamox player (Affectionate)

[umbral cipher]

haha

[glacial junco]

And couldn't line it up

[tame pasture]

filthy gargamox enjoyers (uplifting)

[umbral cipher]

Fair nuff! Autophagy seems like an easy trigger for it, though

[glacial junco]

Don't i need to be at a higher level to get that

[umbral cipher]

You'd need at least one dark power yeah

There's also Tactical Thrall Murking and the chop doc I suppose

[glacial junco]

yeah we've only played a Spite level so far

[undone kestrel]

Today’s lunchbreak progress on my first sculpt for this.

[night hedge]

carcass does some vuln stacking already but it'd be neat to see something that focuses on it

[umbral cipher]

Yeah, it's not Carcass's Thing ™️

[glacial junco]

Hot damn you are doin great

[lapis sun]

pogies

[glacial junco]

That cloak looks amazing i'm super jealous

[umbral cipher]

Anyway Rickertock is just like
haunted scarecrows and witches energy

[glacial junco]

Reminds me of the alchemists from MTG innistrad

[umbral cipher]

Yeah, MTG's scarecrows are a great reference actually

[glacial junco]

Spirit powered whats the word, thingamajigs.

Funny word for device

[glacial junco]

Do you use greenstuff (Propernoun)?

[undone kestrel]

Blend of 75/25 greenstuff/magic sculpt.

[shut hare]

oh my god you're right

that's fucking cool

[hoary narwhal]

Does the EGIS Weapon's Juggernaut push 2 INSTEAD of push 1 on a +5, or is it in addition to the push 1?

[pale echo]

I believe instead of

[shut hare]

push 2 on a 5+ yeah

[patent steeple]

gargamox done

[crisp night]

they’re the rats

[patent steeple]

@tame pasture

[gloomy shell]

So when doom says "Clearing tokens as usual" does that mean if i have a strength token and a weak token - then clear those - it also clears doom?

[patent steeple]

gonna take a lil break, does anyone know what the color code for gargamox is

[gloomy shell]

#28FF3C

[patent steeple]

many thanks

[primal nest]

#00e917 is what i use

[gloomy shell]

I grabbed that from the sidebar

[torn portal]

I haven't read every unit and skill yet, but so far I couldn't find whats the difference between non-physical damage types. Is there any?

[primal nest]

nothing

[patent steeple]

just whether armor applies or not

[elfin ermine]

do you roll once for an aoe, or once for each target?
And how does spending str work for aoe, spend once per target, per bit of damage?

[primal nest]

just how it relates to armor types

[patent steeple]

magical damage is reduced by ward
physical damage is reduced by armor
super armor reduces both

[primal nest]

splash i believe is just auto hit

[torn portal]

I know that

[primal nest]

dunno about strength tho

[torn portal]

but i mean, whats the differnece between fire, holy, toxic... types of damage?

[patent steeple]

nothing

[primal nest]

nothing

[weak igloo]

Thematics mostly atm

[torn portal]

lol

[patent steeple]

yeah

mox deals toxic, carcass/goregrinder deal fire

abhorrers deal holy

[elfin ermine]

oh so lines and splashes are straight up not attacks, I see

[primal nest]

mox and igorri ye

[patent steeple]

theres curse too

which is magical but can also be fully negated with curseproof

[elfin ermine]

still curious how str acts with aoes, I imagine each instance of damage is seperate

so you spend per guy you hit

[shut hare]

afaik my conclusion was strength token's were just blanket +1 damage and doesn't specify what it can be used on, therefore it can be used on any damage

[raw coral]

My read is that you spend the strength token(s) automatically when you take an act that does damage, effectively raising all the numbers in the ACT by 1

[shut hare]

well sort've, for things that deal multiple instances of damage in a row, the strength token goes away when you deal damage

[elfin ermine]

so one Str token, a move that deals 1 + 1, you deal 2 + 1?

thats what I'd expect

[magic basalt]

I'm pretty sure you can apply each str token to each point of damage

[elfin ermine]

then I read moves that hit multiple units as "deal 1 to X and Y", so the STR gets spent to deal 1 extra on either

[shut hare]

yeah for something like this - on hit it deals 2 damage, you slap +1 damage on that 2 damage from 1 strength token (then it gets discarded) to make it 3 damage, and then you continue to deal only 1 damage following the same conditions of the rest of the attack

[magic basalt]

I feel like you'd be able to apply strength tokens to each pip of damage if you had multiple but idk

[elfin ermine]

what about either of these with 1 str token?

[shut hare]

oh if you had multiple for sure!

but my example was just assuming 1 strength token

[magic basalt]

Ahh gotcha

I am on the same page

[shut hare]

yeah i'd say strength applies to indignation, but i'd say you'd have to pick which instance of damage you want the strength token to apply in that specific example

[deft marsh]

do yall think the tokens should have bounding boxes in their image or nah?

[shut hare]

so like 1 damage to three dudes, pick one to take 1 extra damage from a strength token and then remove that strength token

[deft marsh]

as far as potentially token tooling them

[elfin ermine]

How would you run the Line 4, 1 Damage?

hmm

[shut hare]

AoEs and strength tokens are the one thing im not too sure on just yet

[elfin ermine]

I feel like AOEs as individual damage ticks is the safest bet

whether its Indignation, splash, lines etc

[lethal trench]

applying Strength tokens on a per instance basis seems like the most reasonable conclusion to me so far

[shut hare]

agreed

[lethal trench]

otherwise they would get a bit out of hand for multi hits and AoE

[umbral cipher]

The funny thing about Strength to me, as written, is that it applies to Any damage that unit deals

[elfin ermine]

real ones spend Str on berserk self-damage

[thick sphinx]

Notably, since you can't choose not to spend them, you can blow all your strength tokens on walls if you're not careful

[lethal trench]

apply Strength on Retaliation lmao

[umbral cipher]

Yeah!

[thick sphinx]

But actually though

[night hedge]

bladed is so good on warheads

especially because if you're running a painghoul, curseproof can work against you. free movement is good for a few matchups

[silent sluice]

the difference is that multihits happen sequentially, so it's clear that strength needs to be discarded after the first instance of damage. It's not clear if AoEs apply damage sequentially or simultaneously.

[short cloud]

Why isn’t heresy allowed at spite level?

[lethal trench]

oh huh, yeah Pain Frenzy sure is a curse
interesting

[patent steeple]

because its the "beginner" level

[silent sluice]

to keep things simple

[shut hare]

tutorial level

[night hedge]

because spite level is meant to be simple

[lethal trench]

to make it simpler

[elfin ermine]

to 'spite' you specifically

[short cloud]

Fair

[lethal trench]

I guess because you can put Berserk on enemy ranged units

[short cloud]

But im curious if there’s any good synergy between carcass and gargamox

[deft marsh]

make health low/finish low health guy

maybe?

[night hedge]

yknow i feel like relic lance is under appreciated

[elfin ermine]

imo its about if the attacks themselves track targets (1 damage going to X units) or if aoes just determine how many targets you have

[night hedge]

like ignoring it's gimmick, it's a solid 2 damage weapon with no downside

[elfin ermine]

I like it, but I'm saving it for the 3 Scion Abhorrer build

[lethal trench]

Exorcist has some pretty great weapons in general

[crisp night]

befitting a holy samurai

[golden wave]

New anticombo: berserk + retaliate + strength x2, you end your turn not adjacent to anyone (or adjacent but only to characters with armor/vitality/while you are weakened) and deal yourself 2+2 damage lmao

[lethal trench]

Lance is great together with Chrysanthemum stance I think

you can dash in, hit, push them away and then step away yourself

[elfin ermine]

I'm trying Shuriken to see how Exorcist works as more of a ranged mixed damage dealer

then maybe switching to melee execution late game

[lethal trench]

I'm considering a ranged stall comp for Abhorrers, focusing Inquisitors

and Shuriken on Exorcist

[glacial junco]

I'm so excited to play again tonight

[golden wave]

Oh wow Goregrinders would be an intensely goofy mirror-match, pretty much every character explodes as soon as they enter melee, taking everyone adjacent out with them

[night hedge]

i wanna do melee abhorrers i think, with some stuff to force people out

[night hedge]

gore grinders mirror match ends very quickly

[glacial junco]

Gonna see if the people i play with are down to stream it in a pnet channel just in case people wanna watch (might not though)

[lethal trench]

I'm planning to play a sorta mobile midranged style, with Zealots and Inquisitors

[night hedge]

each player trying to mind game their opponent into devil impact-ing the other first

bolides is a great damage dealing ability tbh on holy body

it really feels like a support artillery piece which is a cool vibe

[lethal trench]

yeah I underestimated hazards on first glance

[thick sphinx]

Retaliate only triggers off actions, which berserk is not

[elfin ermine]

#1164643959721693184 message
same for my first list

[shut hare]

i think my favourite abhorrer units are penitents

[night hedge]

1 damage is just good tbh

[shut hare]

mea culpa is just so good

[silent sluice]

did we get any confirmation from Tom on how Miracle is supposed to the work?

[night hedge]

yeah penitents can get some real nasty damage numbers

[thick sphinx]

In what way?

[lethal trench]

yeah that's pretty close to what I was thinking on doing too

[night hedge]

also imo what gives them a chance to win the dead souls match up other than lucky miracle rolls

[lethal trench]

it seems pretty clear to me
when a unit with Miracle dies, you roll a d6 at the end of that turn
on a 5+ they come back

[shut hare]

(also triggers SOUL harvest)

[elfin ermine]

and if Obliterated, this doesnt happen

or does it?

[shut hare]

miracle doesnt trigger on being obliterated yeah

miracle triggers on being slain and obliterate just says "lol no" to that

[smoky pecan]

It would be funny if the Abhorrers weren't actually connected to a devil despite it being heavily implied that they are

[pale echo]

they might not be!

[crisp night]

i just assume they’re fueled by pure indignant rage at their surroundings

and that’s what gives them power

[elfin ermine]

maybe they just get their power from the COLD AND SMOKELESS FIRE OF THE STARS or something

maybe theres a catholic devil thats really into guilt and retribution against the wicked

[lethal trench]

guest cameo by the Miracle from Blasphemous 😛

[crisp night]

unrelated note; i think something about the deadsouls necro being the only one without a black background for their portrait makes them creepier

the pale vapors of a hell frozen over

[night hedge]

abhorrers are contracted with a secret third thing

[hexed coral]

Now that is a fantastic way of describing them

And also why I chose that lot for Beheader and his gang

[lethal trench]

for Zealot Smite
do you think the damage bonus is snap shot at the time of using it, or when you make the attack?

[shut hare]

ooh that's a good question

[lethal trench]

ie, say you use Smite on round 2, and then Whirling Chain on round 3
do you get +1 or +2 damage?

[shut hare]

i'd probably say the former just to be on the safe side

but im not confident on that

[tame pasture]

Oh yeah forgot to show off my homepage

[thick sphinx]

That's my interpretation, yeah

[south tartan]

Oh do you have the transparent versions of the Necromancers anywhere?

Or are they in the folder and I missed them

[tame pasture]

actively transparentifying them one at a time

[crisp night]

[primal nest]

Does graze inherit strength and weak?

[thick sphinx]

Tom confirmed yes

[primal nest]

Gotcha

If you deal damage, you apply strength/weak

[south tartan]

Ty!

[vapid crypt]

Trying to get my TTRPG group to pause for a session and play this with me. Obviously it's pretty soon but has anyone starting getting stuff setup on Roll20 or TTS?

[patent steeple]

roll20 is pretty easy to set up

just make some tokens and look at their stats

tom posted screencaps of his playtests

[vapid crypt]

Yeah I was starting to get it setup myself and was just checking. I am very tempted to create a physical copy too though

then I can make little minis of my custom necromancers

[thick sphinx]

Question: Are plague tokens always negative, even when on Gargamox units?

[vapid crypt]

Also is there a Maleghast art thread around here somewhere?

[arctic solar]

garg likes them cuz they can spend them on stuff

look at slime for example, who accumulates them on itself to power its death burst or pass them off to others

but I think they're always considered 'negative tokens' for stuff that cares about that

[thick sphinx]

That's what I was focusing on, specifically whether painghouls could clear them

[umbral cipher]

Faction Mechanic:
Ghoulcored: Slain units with this trait can be reassembled by an ally by using an Action; destroying any adjacent Hazard or Adverse Terrain, then reviving the unit on that space, with -1 HP for every time that unit has been reassembled. Units cannot be reassembled if they would have 0 HP or lower. 

ill-advised homebrew ideas time
units from this house would likely be relatively frail to compensate for this

[brittle otter]

One... More...

[tame pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/sisyphus-cat-slide-gif-17371923036948092691

[elfin ermine]

I think a fun direction might be a solomonic sort of thing

reverse the power dynamics

[arctic solar]

main concerns I eyeball-
-action cost of revival might cause problems progressing gamestate- sort of a death spiral thing
-igorri eats your corpses, nothing to revive, yum yum

[elfin ermine]

either through piety / burning faith, or by riddling demons with stariron nails, they force them to heel and rip necromantic secrets from them

[languid lotus]

my hc is that the abhorrers have a pact with some sort of angel or god being, with no real difference in the practical results

[elfin ermine]

they don't make pacts with devils, they render them slaves to god

[umbral cipher]

Hmm, first point is a strong one

My other idea was that units with the trait, on death, would turn into the house's Thrall unit
I'm mostly just trying to kick vibes into something solid in my head

[arctic solar]

ohhh I like thrallification

reinthrallnation

[elfin ermine]

that sounds fun if you have fun thralls

[umbral cipher]

Yeah, would depend on the Thralls being funky enough

[elfin ermine]

probably need to come up with a reason to take thralls as a base unit though

whats 2x thralls do that 1x anything + 1x thrall doesnt

[arctic solar]

my personal thing I'm vibing with is some sort of carcass variant based around deep striking into enemy territory

[umbral cipher]

Maybe said Thralls can upboost themselves into other units somehow???

[arctic solar]

by launching units out of cannons

[thick sphinx]

Cheap bodies on thr board? Extra soul?

[arctic solar]

two thralls do a fusion dance?

[patent steeple]

soul harvest can only be proc'd 1/unit

[elfin ermine]

some sort of round passive based on how many are alive, checked at the start of a round?

[cinder isle]

promote to queen

[elfin ermine]

so theres incentive to have some on board at the start?

[thick sphinx]

True, but you get two thralls for the price of one of any other unit

[arctic solar]

every fourth thrall on the board spawns with 1 of every positive token

like a clock thing or something

countdown to megathrall

[patent steeple]

lol yes

[thick sphinx]

That'd be neat

[patent steeple]

i remember theres a TFT mechanic like this

like ur minions die but after a certain time limit

a super unit spawns

based on how many dieed

[elfin ermine]

I like how clean "units that die turn into thralls" is though

[arctic solar]

yeah same

[elfin ermine]

whatever else you go with

[tame pasture]

but i love all of them

the more i read and hypothesize and teambuild the more i realize i may as well roll a d6 to pick one to start with

[pine crescent]

Hmm. They're a bit hard to make out at anything but full zoom. Maybe the system needs a special way to display tokens.

[crisp night]

originally i didn't want to play deadsouls but after staring at them longer they're really high up on my list

[undone dagger]

Deadsouls look really fun, making walls and then pulling enemies through them

[hexed coral]

Join me in the Deadsoul maxing

Just start your own home depot where the only thing you sell is walls

[crisp night]

i think it's funny how gargamox would be an incredibly fast shoe in for me if not for me not liking their soundtrack

or rather

not liking it AS MUCH

still good just not the sort of stuff i listen to as often whereas every other faction has at least one or two names i recognize off the bat

[hexed coral]

Fair!

I don't listen to much metal, I just like their mechanics because it happily coincides with my oc I was already making

[crisp night]

i listen to metal quite avidly which is part of the reason i'm so insane about maleghast

deadsouls becomes even more fun when you realize they can also be isolated and you can pull your own units through walls

Its all fun and games until the bone shards get you

[torn portal]

so I have a question, this ability from the Inquisitor (Pg 52) says that you gain 2 range, while a similar effect on the Carcass Barrelform specify it is max range. Does that mean the Inquisitor increases both max and minimum range, or it should be specified as maximum range too?

[tame pasture]

or just the keep away game in general gets on your nerves

[tame pasture]

i assume +2 range only goes to max because of this

also am i right in thinking this stands for "swear to god"

[elfin ermine]

its like a glowstick you gotta crack a new one

[elfin ermine]

I thought it was "Send To Grave"

[tame pasture]

or am i missing a reference

[elfin ermine]

because it Sends Them Directly To The Grave

who knows

[crisp night]

the fact that they gave carcass necro a fucking armor lock

is so good

[tame pasture]

armor lock defo feels like something for a more close ranged setup

which um

not me

maybe when im more confident

[patent steeple]

@tame pasture igorri is done

[tame pasture]

based

[crisp night]

i feel like doing heresy with deadsouls and abhorrers could be really strong

[brittle otter]

I am so nearly done myself...

[crisp night]

since walls would allow for better stalling to activate lategame stance stuff and let abhorrer units start to snowball

[tame pasture]

Im not mentally ready for heresy

[crisp night]

and said stalling to buff the abhorrers would also allow for doom to activate

im not gonna pretend like i can make a heresy team yet

but i'm having ideas

[tame pasture]

heresy is likely the key to funny melee tau

but later

[tame pasture]

it is done

all of the factions

thanks to @patent steeple

(for simple worldbuilding foundry systems)

[crisp night]

hey would a heresy of carcass and goregrinder be called bonebreaker

[brittle otter]

Care to post the hex codes for the colours?

Then I can also put those in the compendiums~

i love the deadsouls lore so much

[glacial junco]

I like it

[crisp night]

yeah we'll give you our souls when we die

lives in the city where you cannot die

[hexed coral]

Best deal you ever made tbh

[brittle otter]

I can't wait to be done to actually be creative instead of a robot copying text

[glacial junco]

Hey whats this file for

[elfin ermine]

pastel goth deadsoul necromancer......

[hexed coral]

LMAO

[silent sluice]

How Does Bloodgorger (Lycan) Spare Parts effect work? Is it supposed to be a choose the highest? Add the dice together? Trigger the effect once per die rolled?

[brittle otter]

You roll a die for each corpse eaten

[silent sluice]

what happens after that?

[brittle otter]

Then you gain the bonuses as specified

[glacial junco]

You get the bonus cumulatively bad theja wrong

[lethal trench]

the more corpses you eat, the more dice you roll
so higher chance of getting the good effects

[silent sluice]

do you keep the highest?

[shut hare]

enforcers love to break protests thats my headcanon

[glacial junco]

No no you gain a strength AND MAYBE speed AND MAYBE Vit AND MAYBE mutate again*

[lethal trench]

and maybe a second mutate 😛

[brittle otter]

No. Each roll gives you the bonuses as specified.

[lethal trench]

you already get one base

[brittle otter]

It's not +1D per corpse. It's rolling 1D per corpse

[lethal trench]

I'm not sure on that

[glacial junco]

I think you pick the highest

Otherwise you get 2 strength and 2 mutate base off 1 corpse

which even on lycan seems

[brittle otter]

It is written very differently than any other +1D ability

[hexed coral]

Man ya'll have so many sick names.

[glacial junco]

What version of foundry is the modules using is it V11 still?

[patent steeple]

v11

[glacial junco]

[brittle otter]

Mine will also be V11, and I think many will remain V11 for a while in general~

Very nice looking!

whats SLD stand for

[tame pasture]

Solid

[hexed horizon]

When a Strigoi "steals" a token, does he get that token?

[brittle otter]

I would assume so?

[crisp night]

egis weapon rex

[tame pasture]

i would name it that

but then i'd be making the mistake of naming my units

[crisp night]

naming your units is beneficial because then when you all resurrect days later after losing you can admonish them by name

[short cloud]

Any synergies between gargamox and carcass for heresy?

[arctic solar]

plague tokens give action-efficient payoff for barrelform's deathmark without needing to keep attacking

[nova mason]

i am curious how a deadsouls x gargamox would play

just like all the statuses and dots

[crisp night]

area control to the max

[nova mason]

oh yeah theyre both area control too lol

[crisp night]

walls and poison

everywhere

[uneven prawn]

"if you think about doing something, fuck you take one damage. if you think about not doing something, fuck you take 6 unavoidable damage at the end of turn 4"

[arctic solar]

dead souls picks off isolated folks while gargs brawl in the moshpit

[night hedge]

gargamox provides good close range stuff and hazards which allow units like barrelform to shine

[arctic solar]

goregrinders + darksouls is something I want to play with personally

[brittle otter]

[arctic solar]

warheads have the frontline muscle, dead souls smash armor units

[brittle otter]

Now just prettyfying the folders and putting it in a module, the ICONeghast is done

[nova mason]

iconoghast

[night hedge]

honestly i'm leaning carcass + goregrinders with the main carcass presence being a barrelform to apply vulnerable

[nova mason]

deadsouls and gargamox are my two faves in vibes and seem funny together lol

[undone kestrel]

Ready to wake up and smell the CARCASS - finished skull heads for two Gunwights, an Enforcer torso is slowly progressing, and my Barrelform is basically at cleanup and gun finishing. Sculpting as though they should get cast up as single-piece metals on slottas, mostly because it’s a fun challenge. Gonna try to have everything for a basic CARCASS Black Mass done by the weekend, and then decide what a good opposition force would be for demos and sculpt that.

[night hedge]

i do wonder what the limit for number of units each side has before the game starts to break down is

especially if it's just a 1v1

[brittle otter]

Cooooolouuuuuurs

[night hedge]

like 10 units each would take a while but it'd look sick as hell

[hexed coral]

colours! fantastic stuff

[crisp night]

🥹

it's beautiful

[hexed coral]

^^

[night hedge]

colours :)

[vague elbow]

you can already do ten units, for a price

[night hedge]

ah i meant 10 slots rather

[vague elbow]

yeah that would be fun

wait why am I meis here still, whoops

[tiny fulcrum]

You'd need a thrall limit at that point imo

[night hedge]

i already have a 9 unit list i intend to use anyhow

yeah i agree

otherwise they'd clog things too much

[patent steeple]

gimme a ping when u post this!

very excited

[crisp night]

20 scum team

very important

[brittle otter]

Example army list in a new game with the compendiums

You can do configure ownership stuff for the players if you'd like

What platform is this on?

Roll20?
