How would the

Is there a martial art or sword style based around 1 heavily armored hand and a weapon?

You could catch your opponents weapon in your armored hand and kill him with the other. You don't even need to stop the weapon fully, just deflect and disable it. It isn't the same as using a shield either, because the armor on the hand would be lighter and probably take less metal to stiffen than an entire shield, and you can also catch the weapon instead of just deflecting.

I feel like something like this must exist, but I don't know where or what it would be called, also if it was tried and failed because it sucked.

Can CORPSE EMPEROR fags just fuck off already? Like he is a fucking retard. Chaos, particularly Khorne, is just so much better in every way. Lets look at some of the benefits of chaos, shall we?
>Everything you get being a space marine and more.
>Badass aesthetics and intimidating armor.
>Insanely threatening battle chants and things to scream in battle (Sanity is for the weak, we're back, and better than ever, and who can forget BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!)
>Blessings of the dark Gods for making them proud.
>You have the potential to become a fucking demon that lives forever.
>Get said blessings from killing your enemies, which you do for the emperor for free.
>Get to fuck hot Slaanesh demons.
>Possibly wield the power of the warp and command daemons straight from there.
Need I go on? Lets look at what you get from serving God "corpse on a bench" Emperor..
>Endless amounts of fighting for planets that have almost no strategic value.
>Never appreciated by anyone. Treated as Imperial Guardsman with a bit thicker skin.
>Oppressed and killed for inventing better gear for your comrades (Tzeench smiles upon those with an innovative spirit.)
>Everyone is fucking starving.
>Attacked on all sides in the galaxy by everything that breathes, ever.
>No rewards for valor. You have the average lifespan of 4 hours on the battlefield.
>You can live forever in age, but your life is often cut short by a gretchin night raid.
So please fuck of Imperium retards, or join us and embrace the warp.

As the topic says: I'm rather new to /tg/, and am not too experienced with Non-D&D rp's, and am kind of tired of a lot of the more serious ones and especially loathe grimdark. What are good tabletop games geared more towards lightheartedness/silliness? (bonus if it can hit the sweet spot of being able to be silly without jumping into lolrandom territory)

Pic maybe related? I've seen/heard of it and it sounds kind of fun, even if weebish. I'm open to other ideas though.

It is always cool to have fantastic materials. Mithril probably is the most famous example of such a metal.

Yet in TTRPGs I have never seen them done well. D&D have a tons of materials with tons of descriptions and yet their effect is: weapons are masterwork, weight is reduced by half, reduce DEX penalty.

In various fictions it is always just a more resistant form of steel. And while it is cool you can only insert 1 such superresistant material in a setting before it feels lame. Dreadwood may sound cool but what are proprieties that makes it interesting and makes players want to use it?

Examples are Adamantium, Mithril, Gromril and Valyrian steel.

What fantasy metals have YOU used? What are some ideas that make the metal REALLY useful (honestly how the fuck uses weight rules in D&D?)?

/tg/, can you help me decrypt the following message one of the other players in our group has left to us?

"WHNTETANHE--ASRTPTU-TITEIO-NHES--
1-7-3-4-6-5-2
The pillars didn't seem to be in order."

No firm context available, it was just left in an ancient vault and probably corresponds to the location of another vault somehow.

I know this will hugely be influenced by the group, as players want what they want as well.

But after playing PnP systems for near thirty years at this point, I just can no longer not simplify combat to one round of stated actions and dice rolls if I can. Don't get me wrong, nothing can add tension to a game like the uncertainty of dice rolls and a bit of chaos that a turn or two of combat can bring. But that said, I just look at what DnD 3.x turned into over time with the rules creep revolving toward ever more levels of weeaboo fight'n magic (till it became Pathfinder). So now I usually just have players state actions, roll for the uncertainties, and work out how it all happens at one time, because sequential turn based initiative is another concept I have moved away from. And it usually works great, with combat seeming to be heavily one sided between those who were prepared, and those who were not, and those who got the fuck out of there. This has also seemed to go hand in hand with using more rules lite game system mechanics like Risus or Fudge, classless character play, etc.

The biggest advantage has been, I think, the keeping of story momentum and player buy in to emersion. A lot more story gets crafted in these game sessions.

Is this a general progression most other GMs, and play groups, shift to with time? Or is this more so developing a preference between enjoying rugby or flag American football with time?
