Wild Talents/Mutants and Masterminds.

Superhero systems are pretty good for that kind of thing.

>>53502174
>>53502246
In all seriousness, yeah wild talents.

my last party in that system had an angry trashcan and a kitten with pyrotechnics, and they were just as valid as the weird kid batman guy

>>53504862
please note this was not a serious game. don't take this as an example of the average wild talents game

they were uncreative in their body design and shit at psychosurgery.

2/10 barely posthuman when your downfall is empathy.

Except shackle themselves to gravity wells like a bunch of smucks. They got "grav" right in the name, and they didn't get it.

The Qu did nothing wrong.

d4 is shit so maybe you can throw the opponent really off guard with it?

I prefer d4 just because it prevents the asshole on the other side of the board from using the Sicilian Defense.

>>53501806
statistically it is d4 since the sicilian is so good against e4

Here's a little bit about the organizations you can join in Starfinder will work. Doing stuff for them gets you some actual benefits.

Also, I hope you enjoyed the Pathfinder Society, because they are now IN THE FUTURE

Reminder that only Celeb apps will get into Ensoulment. Everyone else, prepare to be NPCs.

>>53501777
of course the pathfinder society was going to be in the future, why wouldn't it

>>53501714
Is it true that you play as a shitload of guys at the same time or I am being confused by another game with a similar name?

>>53501714
It's really hard to predict in advance what you need to cast a spell, which makes character creation difficult. There's a lot of grey areas between different magic schools and you pretty much have to hash out with your GM where one stops and another starts, and if they have overlap, and how much, and etc. etc. So, that's a hassle. I don't know how you'd fix it without just providing a list of spells like D&D, which wouldn't really fit the tone of the game at all, but whether or not I have any idea how to solve it, it is still a problem.

I'm also not a fan of dumping this much magic into an otherwise historical setting, but that's personal taste.

Last I checked it never really outgrew the whole 80s design style where everything is kind of a hacked together mess and no effort has been made to streamline systems at all.

Concept is cool enough to make it worth checking out in spite of its issues, though.

>>53501911
Sure, but that magic is bound by a proto-WoD masquerade. If House Guernicus finds out you've been charming the locals for tail or shaking down a local church for its vis, you are hosed.

>>53501825
Ars is one of the earliest "troupe" games, yes. Each player will have a Mage, a Companion or two, and a gaggle of Grogs available, and MAY direct any or all of them over the course of a session, but will rarely be worrying about more than one or two at any given moment. If the current situation is your time to Grog, knowing you have a bunch of redshirts and high-function morons to handle makes it simpler.

Unless you run an all-Grog session for variety. That shit's hilarious.

>>53501055
Easily, unless the other nations get space marines.
There'd be no comparison, and he'd be seen as a god of war for doing that shit.

Send them to kill Stalin, Zhukov, Churchill, Monty, Roosevelt, & Eisenhower.
Convince Patton & Truman to fight the soviets.

>>53501068
No other marines for other nations.

>Do you like playing with miniatures?
No.

> How does it contribute to the game?
They are great in systems that require exact distances/facing/spacial records. Typically for more combat focused games, "Damage done in an X by Y square."

>Where do you get them?
Not sure. I've used Lego!

>And why are they so expensive?
Because you'll pay for it.

>>53500658
>Do you like playing with miniatures?
I like them, yeah. I think games can be perfectly fun without them, but it's nice to have a well-made little statue of your character.

>How does it contribute to the game?
When asked "What does he look like" I can just hold up the miniature and say "this". It adds a more personal connection to the character, and incentive to keep them alive.

>Where do you get them?
I convert mine from my warhammer collection.

>And why are they so expensive?
Because Citadel are run by the joos.

Been using pathfinder pawns for my game. They don't look as good as real minis but it does the job good enough for me and my players. I like having a bunch of different monsters and npcs ready to go and easy to pack around.

No. But they'll do because GW is GW

I daresay the Earth Caste would meddle with things like that, maybe not for Kroot but for their more "civilised" auxiliaries like the Demiurg.

Mining battlesuits™, Laser drills and shit, would be cool but nah, GW will give us another salt powered robot instead.

>>53500265
Please. This is a topic GW has no interest in touching.

>players have to sit in a different room
>can only see the dungeon using webcams attached to mini RC cars
Problem solved.

Couldn't you cover it with a black tarp or something, only revealing a bit at a time?

What I do is attach bucky balls to the edges of the tiles, and snap the sections on overtime as the players explore it. So if they open a door I simply pull the room that they would see out from under the table and attach it.

At least, that is what I would do if I didn't force my players to map everything themselves. It is more enjoyable that way, even if it doesn't look as cool.

>Markers are useless

>Markers are useless
No? They do more and aren't spent upon firing. If you fire 5 markerlights at a unit, any model firing at that unit gets all of the benefits (reroll 1 to hit, +1 to hit, ignore cover, advance and fire assault weapons with no penalty).

>special issue wargear
They are still around, see pic

>crisis suits are 40ppm before upgrades
They also got +1 wound, and can now fire all 3 weapons each turn, all at different targets.

The loss of fusion blades will be sad, but Farsight now hits on a 2+.

All the changes seem good to me. Riptide are insane now (T8 14 wounds 2+ save), but they are actually priced appropriately ~300ppm and the changes to drones are going to be amazing.

What's your stance on garden gnomes?

>>53499612
Shaky alliance out of self-preservation, on both sides of the fence.

>>53499612
Garden gnomes > chickens.

All animals > chickens.

Go chicken go.

I fucking hate when people use Cyrillic script like this.

I genuinely didn't think you idiots could do it, yet here we are.
Expansion will take three months at least, so let's get a solution rolling now before I have to beat some of you.

>>53499398
Ooh, ooh! Weird history, weird history! I can do SO much with that!

>>53499398
Why not just keep them as an example of what not to do? Magic isn´t something that should be put into a box. You should just let it out.

I know I've always been a sucker for one-handed melee weapon and open hand, especially if the game we're playing has rules that make that useful for grappling, tripping, or other tomfoolery.

>>53499152
Pretty much all the PCs in my current use the universal fighting style of 'Hit it with a sharp object until it dies whilst also trying not to get stabbed'. None of them really have more training than that.
