Nearly got my WB list down now, I think. Core is 20 Ashen Circle and 10 GV in two units of each, geared to the nines.

I was planning on sticking in a Lightning to crack Spartans open, so the Mortis might be a really good idea for AA and light AT, thanks. Rest of the list isn't set yet, but plan was Layak for AC troops, Mandatory Chaplain with Jump Pack to lead one of the Gal Vorbak deepstrike squads and for Daemon allies one of each herald with 20 Bloodletters, 20 Daemonettes, some Beasts of Nurgle to run cover for the Ashen Circle and some Screamers respectively. A kind of mini Infernal Tetrad, given I can get Cursed Earth on Layak guaranteed to buff them. Was planning to have a Damocles Command Rhino as HQ #3 since a massive portion of my army can deepstrike in and the extra Orbital Strike would be handy. Was thinking I should find a squad to stick in there, maybe just 5 plasmaguns if I have a spare 200pts.

Not sure what to do when Lorgar wants to come along, since I have to give up Ashen Circle troops then. Tacticals seem dull with so many daemons covering the front line part. Helps?

GURPS but it doesn't have levels

Open Legends perhaps?

How can she be undead if she was never alive? She isn't a -noun- she's a force of nature

You must enter the world of PAIN and become immune to PAIN.

>>53149440
>undead
She was never alive in the first place, the concepts of "alive" or "dead" don't apply to her.
>sending her armies of undead across the multiverse
Her influence was always limited to Sigil.
>Her goal
She doesn't have a goal. A force of nature can't have goals, it just is.

Why do they grow food indoors?

>>53149677
A number of reasons really.

It's a lot easier to secure a house with solid walls than a fenced field which is much more exposed to the elements so while outdoors crops are still maintained, because doing otherwise would be silly, it can be prudent to keep a small stockpile growing somewhere safer in case a field is compromised and ruined.

Obviously these are limited to things like mushrooms and small tubers but even a small amount of food can help when stocks are low. Communities with links to underground-dwelling folk can flourish in this regard, having access to higher quality crops and farming methods. They may even be able to trade for some section of underground space dedicated to such a purpose, but this comes with its own set of problems.

>>53149199
Nice imagery, very evocative.
Your next challenge is to define what the players will do in your campaign.
Is there any way to face the monsters outside of hiding? If not, then your game is going to stagnate really quickly. If so, define it.
Is there a way to alter this seemingly immutable balance? A monster king to bargain with? A hive queen to slay? Define it.
What is the player group supposed to look like? WFRP peasants? Nobles and novice priests? Technomancers? Space Marines?

Black Tokyo.

>>53149034
Probably this. Hot Chicks is probably a good contender.

Savant and Sorcerer.

You know... it'd be pretty great if we could get death rider quality sculpts of the Attilan's with Mogul Kamir riding out with a bitching two headed psyberhawk ala the Mongolian hunters with the eagles.

I can't wait to dump S3 rend -3 hotshot las fire all over the place.

Unlikely. It seems that everything that was AP3 will probably be rend 2.

Is it too long, or too generic grimdark?

>Is it too long, or too generic grimdark

It isn't long. It is general premise of world. Actually it doesn't tell anything about the civilizations at all. Also don't get me wrong. Nothing wrong with that. No reason to go into extensive world-building but you should think about the general area where players will be playing, and surrounding areas, and give it the general premise as you did with overall world.

Is it grimdark? It depends about the approach? Scavengers. Fighting for bare necessities. Grimdark.

Bringing hope, progress? Band of Brothers? Noblebright.

No clue! It seemed to come and go yesterday, allowing some 'big' posts but eating other ones. It's gotta be a problem with Chrome itself, because it was glitching on my work and home computers.

What happens if you exert a creature with Back to Basics and Humilitybon the field at the same time as a Doran is there and a Palinchron enchanted by Following Footsteps and a Progrnitor Mimic copying a Dominating Licid?

>>53139373
Good shit. I got three ideas. Pick what you're missing, I'm cool with any of them.

#1: The Eternal Judge, The Black God
>Celestial
>Death, Magic, Wisdom, Order
>The Moon, Justice
He wears a cloak. The priests say it is deepest black, and perhaps they are correct, but his prophets (few and far between) say that his cloak is an ever-shifting rainbow. Pigeons carry the ghosts of the dead to him, and he judges them fairly before sending them to their appointed afterlife...or, if they choose, to live again and do good.

#2: The Scholar, The First-Mage
>Aetherial
>Magic, Wisdom
>The Moon, Prophecy, Craft
In one sense, he has no temples; in another, every place of learning is a shrine to him. He seeks to better everyone, giving them magic and wisdom to elevate them from brute animal strength. He challenges everyone, whether they worship him or not, to outsmart him, and he is never more pleased than when they succeed.

#3: Luin, the All-Skilled
>Terrestrial
>Hunting, Cunning, Creativity, Crafts, Entertainment, Prophecy
"And when Luin came to them, the chief of the clan said to him: what can you do that we cannot? Luin said that he could hunt, but the chief showed him the greatest hunters of the land at his call. Luin said that he could make music, but the chief showed him the most beautiful of musicians. Luin said that he was skilled at the forge, but the chief showed him his blade, forged by a smith there, the sharpest and keenest. Then Luin said, you may have men who can do what I do, but tell me, do you have any who can do all those things? Then the chief was amazed, and welcomed Luin to his hold."

Twin Gods that shore up some areas we were lacking.

I used to like Gurlanin a lot, but... I dunno. It was a different time.
Unrelated: I'm still taking input for who the Twinky Twi'lek in my rebel squadron fic should have 'watching his six.'

Why are X-Wings slower than TIE Fighters (the original TIE Fighter) in X-Wing miniatures? I was under the impression from all the video games and books that the X-Wing was faster (granted, they usually had to take power from shields and/or guns to do it), but that the TIE could accelerate better with much better agility.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I cannot think of any books or games in which the TIE Fighter was faster.

>>53137378
For the Inevitable wave of X-wing nerfs, do you guys think it will happen before or after Store Championship season?

Things that will potentially get nerfed, in order of likelyhood-

- Jumpmasters

- Mindlink

- Sabine

- Biggs

>Is GURPS a good system to introduce people to if they are new to roleplaying games?

I hope so. Our group has played a tiny bit of Pathfinder and a couple sessions of Deadlands Classic, so they're fairly new. But I'm interested in GURPS and am trying to read up on it now to run a game for them once I figure out the genre/setting I want to run

Yes, BUT it is a horrible system for entirely new groups (i.e. new players but also new GM).

GURPS can be super simple and newbie-friendly IF GMs know what they are doing and put in the effort to make (or steal) appropriate templates and set up a list of what rules are in effect. A fresh-faced GM isn't necessarily going to anticipate this, and equally-fresh-faced players won't have the RPG experience to roll with the punches, so to speak, and help the GM when he stumbles.

I'd also use Action for most first-timers.

Well, time to fire up them dice rollers, boy.

>>53131675
longswords and broadswords were basically blunt weapons, nobles rarely if ever performed routine maintenance on their swords because they were hardly ever expected to see battle.

Many of them were never sharpened at all past the initial forging process, they simply sat in their sheath for years on end, only brought out when training and dueling.

Nobility would rather surrender at the end of a fight and be taking captive and held for ransom than they would take their chances fighting after their rear guard had fallen.

Fighting with sword and shield is a form of dual-wielding, dipshit.

Also, confirmed for never having seen a pollax, if you think polearms are too long to use in single combat.

>even awkwardly gripping a polearm by the haft
where the fuck would you grab it, then, by the fucking head?

Which one, there's quite a few

>pc with all material got fried
>replacement pc is 2 months late

It's not.

It doesn't sell, which hopefully is only because I'm not doing any marketing. Though it did land me some commissional work, which will hopefully sell, at least I don't have to make this happen, just need to write it. Also want to start several other projects right now, but I'm stuck in some kind of creative bottleneck.

Oh yeah the last thread
