It belongs in a museum.

Resources exist to be consumed desu

>>53138219
And consumed they will be.

>4 players, 2 rogues, 1 barb, and a mage
>We'd decided that we wanted to do a sea/ocean/naval campaign, and the DM agreed
>we were warned that ships were expensive, and we wouldn't be getting our own right off the bat
>the rogues, used their nearly limitless skill points to take every fucking ship related skill they could, I took siege weapon knowledge and a couple feats to support that
>We began play no where near the water of course, because our dm is twisted sometimes
>we make it to lv 3, by the time we reach the ocean
>We conspire together, and decide that our DM, isn't going to let us pull off stealing a ship, so we were going to have to come up with some other way to get one
>We break a golden rule, and decide to split the group
>The two rogues would hang around the city, gaining wealth, and establishing contacts with various sailors and gathering info, stealing charts, bribing dockmasters for shipping info, etc
>The barb and I would hire on to a ship, and work for someone, establishing contacts, and looking for an opening for something
>We discuss it with the DM, (who isn't a big fan of dividing the group), and he agrees, but warns us "don't use OOC info or metagame", we agree
>The next session was filled with some of our best RP'ing.
>the rogues gathering info and establishing contacts, and the barb and I interviewing with various captains to hire on as crew members

>>53137993
>We interview with a captain with a huge galley
>I offer my service as a cook/mage and siege equipment specialist
>An odd combo, so the captain decides to test me
>he makes me cook a meal. using my few ranks of cooking, and rolling a 5, i cook a fairly shitty meal
>he hires me anyway, because the other cook is even worse
>The barb was hired quickly because he was big, and looked mean as hell
>We knew this ship was going to have a 1 year round trip travel time, so it was going to be a long time before we met up with our rouge buddies
>We both had quarters in the barracks area, sleeping piled up like sardines
>But, I'd yet to cast a spell, so no big deal really
>after a couple weeks travel, we get attacked
>Another large ship came charging in fast, and they had two front catapults to our one
>I learned a lot about how our dm was going to handle ship to ship combat
>Officers are a high target of opportunity, the captain is a real prize, mages too of course
>However, me, in my cooks apron and hat, looked like I was just helping with the siege equipment
>True strike and siege equipment can be used to devastating effect...our first two shots ruined their catapults, and our next one tore their rudder off, fucking up their steering as they tried to turn to bring the ballista to bear on us
>3 shots, and their ship was fucked
>The captain was amazed, and pleased, and order us to rake their decks and kill their crew till they surrendered

>>53138328
>they soon surrendered, and we locked up their crew in the jails on both ships, hooked up a tow chain, put a few people on the new ship to steer a bit (after some rudder repair), and made sail for the nearest city the captain knew of
>The crew got some bonus gold, from pillaged goods/ships. And since the captured ship was mainly undamaged, we got a huge bonus
>I was given a tiny cabin of my own (the barb got nothing, lol)
>At the next stop, we had a 3 day lay over, so I took the time to summon a familiar. I tried for a raven, but since we were on a tropical island at the time, I got a parrot. The DM ruled that the parrot would use all stats for a raven, including speaking 1 language
>The next combat was at night, and took us by surprise
>there were some boarders by the time I made it to the top deck
>the barb earned his keep and went into his insane rage, chopping unarmored pirates to pieces
>I finally got a good shot with the catapult, and killed the enemy captain, and followed up by destroying their main mast, the third shot wiped out their steering again
>they surrendered, and we duplicated the same as last time, repair, tow, sale, get bonus
>The captain promoted the barb to sgt at arms, and promoted me to something like 5th officer (an officer in name only basically)
>The captain told me to get better clothing and dress like an officer, I asked to just remain a cook (because the enemy didn't really try to fucking kill cooks, but they did target well dressed officers)

Realm: Not-So-Evil Hangout

>Affinity: Dark and Illusion
>Size class: Giant
>Race: Celestial and Undead

Boss perks
>Agility
>Magical
>Perception
>Charisma
>Phylactery
>Corruption
>Hybrid
>Empowerment

Minions:
Race One: Average Undead (Vampires)
>3 Recruiters
>3 Scouts
>2 Agents
Race Two: Average Demonic (Succubi)
>1 Recruiters
>1 Harem

Minion perks
>Appearance
>Talented (Musician)
>Specialty (Charisma)
>Ascendancy
>Training

Realm perks
>Large
>Hidden

Complications
>none

Plan is to have lair for dragons, vampires, succubi, and other fun-loving creatures of darkness to hide out. Recruiters will spread rumors about this domain in dark circles, but it's hidden so only people who really want to can find it. So like a not-so-secret secret club. Lair is always changing and visitors are watched closely because we don't need any hero types causing mischief. We'd have more fun playing tricks on invaders and trying to bring them to the dark side than actually hurting anyone, except the occasional blood sacrifice of course.....

??? is objectively the perfect choice

Here's a question: If models are in 8th allowed to fire all of their weapons in one shooting phase, does that mean that when within 12" of the enemy can we rapid fire the bolter and then follow up with the pistol for 3 attacks per man?

3rd for GW just copies what they see here

Explain benefits and disadvantages of tzeentch, maybe then you'll garner supporters...

I enjoy the perks Nurgle brings to the table. Semi immortality is quite nice. Ok, you look like shit after a while...

>>53136369
>>53136385

Tzeentch is the God of Ambition, Hope, and Change. He improves his followers, and makes them more than what they were, unlike the internal bag of pus, whose disciples stagnate in abject despair, and have been entrapped by his petulant curses.

>>53135821
I want to play an Oracle of the Apocalypse with the Forgotten Curse, ideally in a Gestalt with the other being Warlord or Warder!

>>53135821
I really wish I could've gotten full Bab on him

On the bright side I have all good saves and no reliance on dexterity, so that's good

>>53135879
>TFW Stalker isn't a full BAB class

>>53133316
I flip the board and wak away.

>>53133316
>>53133327
Also, the move is c3 for checkmate. I still flip the board, though.

white: king to c3
black: (probably) pawn to e8
white: rook to h1

First for the Greater Good

>>53131540
Or that, yes. Any of those would be better, honestly. Good god, Shroudpsalm is going to need some pretty significant nerfs if not to force Snapfire on everything or give us 1+ armour.

>hi /tg/, do you have time travel in your setting?
No, unless you built your story and setting to include time traveling it will ruin everything once introduced.

>>53131401
Time travel is almost always a terrible thing to include in a setting. It only really works if 'time travel' is used as an excuse to visit a wide variety of totally unconnected places.

Also if you can't keep track of your time travel plot in your head then you've made it too complex. Only a particularly autistic audience will enjoy story they have graph to follow.

>>53131488
>Also if you can't keep track of your time travel plot in your head then you've made it too complex
That's the worst argument for anything I've heard in my life and I've listened to morons talk about why the earth is flat.

>>53131074
I like punching daggers but TWF blows.

>>53131074
>What's your favorite weapon from a thematic standpoint?
I like spears.

>>53131137
This. Spears are thematic and fun

>>53130807
The plush doll or the robot.

>>53130807
The Trandoshan, because they are always good people?

>>53130807
The Dosh merc

If you're watching Heroes and Halfwits without an understanding of who this cast is and how they interact with each other...you're gonna have a bad time

>>53130376
Bo Jingles is the most That Guy though, and Albus sadly gets the bulk of the blame because it's a meme at this point.

>>53131670
Forgot to add you this, I don't think Mogar is That Guy at all.

Mini cyoa. Choose wisely!

Pick one and what they are. You can become one of them, be the big sis/brother of one of them, and/or have a pure relationship with one of them.

Welp, at least you tried.

It's a product of its time. Putting it on a pedestal is dumb, but so is demonising it. It deserves some acknowledgement and consideration as a piece of gaming history that we can still learn from, if only to see how far we've come.

>>53129364
You know what? You're right. I apologize for making this thread.

>>53129336
What's wrong with it? It's a flat number and your saves are very consistent.
