I unfortunately can't answer your questions, I've only played the base game via tabletop simulator
Though from what I've heard, Gorm is supposed to be a good one? Since it's another lowlevel thing that isn't White Lion. And Sunstalker and Dragon King have variant campaigns in them.

>>52988215

Gorm is visually very appealing to me, but the availability is terrible. Maybe after the hustle with 1.5 calms down a little bit some Gorms come to web store and then it will be my time to get the babby-o.

This is indeed a better idea than me simply going "A bunch of un-aligned planets got together to fuck over the Imperium because they're salty over Imperial-world successes".

Not so big on a truly pacifist race. No truly pacifist race would ever survive to the space age.

Does anyone have the Spaceman Spiff conversion article?

I think it was in either Space Gamer or Challenge, and it may be a TL17 setting.

I'd say Baleful Strix but those are $40 a foil

I'm a pretty big fan of this dude

Funnily Enough, Scrounging Bandar is really nice in foil. Also, Predator's Rapport looks great. These two have a yellowish background originally so it must be why these two look good. Pia's Revolution looks pretty great in foil too.

Its a lot more work than I feel like doing.

No its not, thats Ascension magic. Awakening magic is a precise metaphysical system with its own unbreakable internal rules, and thus there is no reason to assume it takes priority over the explicit rules of Exalted's reality.

Protip: If you have a retarded story to tell type it all out in advance and then post it in quick succession.

Also cut to the chase and get to the raping of sidechar.

>>53067775
>He also said that he would stop if things would eventually become too messy.
>I said "meh ok" and hang up, that's because that they usually stop if one of us has connections problems.
>The scene at the gang bar has just started when the connection crashed,I was just trying to get to their attention slowly, another player was going to talk to some people playing poker at a table that he noticed.
>When I got back I asked what was the rest of the scene like
>He told me that the player gave them money and told them We have a common enemy, let's share maybe?
>In the midtime the other two players got into the bar and ordered a beer and went away
>I just stood there all the time doing nothing
>My rage didn't stop during that one hour, just got stronger, so I burst, telling the master that I didn't like that, because they may take all the action themselves and if the characters are even going to say something like "you didn't do anything" I was going to get angry.
>I also didn't like it, because my plan was to get there slowly, gaining their trust without having to "convince" them to then join forces and become member by showing them our worth
>probably all went to bullshit now because the Master decided to continue the action
>On part of that, I also made notice that I didn't like the player response from before, that even so, it's not even true that I cannot say anything about it, because I created that character, and that in the end, I didn't like the fact that he created this character by using my backstory without asking me anything.
>The master thinks that I'm upset only because he used my sidechar, and tells me "I GAVE HIM PERMISSION" and that the character may have changed during the years.
>That makes me even more angry, but I continue my point that I just didn't like his response, even because I just wanted to help
So what do /tg/ think about this situation?
How would you handle players tried to bring to the spotlight some random sidechar you created?

>>53067927
I'm sorry about it, I also had to edit the post because of space limitations, so it may get messy in some points because I didn't double check.

He raped the char because he was playing it poorly, he basically didn't talk much, and most of the time was just making fun of one character name, to then say "I can hack".

If we exclude the fact that the char was far distant from my vision of the sidecharacter I had in mind (You know that feeling when you create a background and you also imagine the face and movements of even the most useless of characters? That). This is just poor interpretation, and I found it to be a dick move to just take it without even asking and also say a "fuck you" when I just try to suggest one thing that made sense.

A Similar situation happened time ago on a Dark Heresy campain, one character wanted to play the mother of his character, I asked the original campain master and he was ok with that, and the original creator was ok because he was the one to ask for it in the first place.

Many months after the campain finished the original master just came up with "Nope, it didn't happened in the same universe"
Fucking God the rage.

I'm a potentially super fun class that was never updated, was broken with web content, and needed forced XP expenditure as well as finding psionic items/users in the game to actually know more than a Psion!

How would you bring me into Pathfinder?

We were on page 6, you dickhead.

Just a bit of background for those of you who don't know what M&M is.

In Mutants & Masterminds you get a number of points equal to 15xPL. We were PL 5 since we were Genin, just graduating from the academy, so I had 75 Power Points. I used a majority of these power points on grabbing advantages, the equivalent of feats, and intended to use these advantages to keep up with the actual Ninjutsu of other players. The alternate effects I intended to take later are a mechanic unique to M&M, allowing you to spend one point and gain an additional effect based off of the original power, granting you 'modes'. An example given is if you have a damaging laser, you can take alternate effect and gain a strobe setting, letting you dazzle and stun people. The concept is that eventually, versatility is just fluff, and is no better than having more standard powers. They are highly recommended for martial artist characters since generally, they're going to be at a disadvantage amongst individuals who can smash buildings apart.

The Alternate Effects come into play later, for now, I built my character. A Taijutsu user who had just graduated from the Amegakure (Rain Village) Academy. He was born without any particular Ninja abilities, but he was determined to be a ninja and dedicated his life to perfecting his physical body and his skills, which allowed him to just barely pass the Ninja Academy with Taijutsu alone. I built this character to have trained heavily in taijutsu, but have literally no ninjutsu, he could not cast jutsu if he tried. As far as I'm concerned it sounds like a fun story and I like the underdog vibe.

The first session went great, a bunch of lucky rolls and my character one this big battle royale between all the Genin, a great start. We had some issues with a 'That Guy', but he left the campaign quickly after fucking over everyone and getting us all stuck with psuedo-tailed beasts and becoming artificial Jinchuriki.

The second session went just as well, we get introduced to our Jonin, we all meet up and so on and so forth, blah blah blah. Another player is mostly in charge of running the session, and so it actually goes well. But this story is about the GM, so I'm mostly going to ignore other things that happened in the game...

Bump for interest

Depends on what I'm looking for in a game today. Any of those can work, though feats less often.

>>53067255

Those things are all features, but none of them are deciding factors, at least for me.

What I love about RPG's is when the mechanics are in tune with the theme and the premise. When I read the fluff, and I read the rules, and I see that they're in sync.

Give me a world, a premise, an idea that can create interesting stories, and partner it with rules and guidelines that support the fluff in interesting and evocative ways.

These days, I've started to look for crunchier systems which do this. A lot of rules light fluffy systems accomplish this, but I've fallen in love with games which partner more complex, deep and satisfying mechanics with a strong narrative idea, showing that you can combine good, strong game design with all the strengths of a storygame save for its lightness, and create something really unique and awesome from it.

There are very few of them around which do it well, but I treasure those I find and I keep hoping for more.

anytime you've got to write your own character backstory, its an RPG.

its also acceptable if there's a pre-written backstory, but you only discover bits and pieces of it along the journey. because you're playing someone potentially emotionally detached from that backstory.

if you have a pre-written backstory that's presented in full before you play, that's just acting out someone else's ideas.

Kiriam can be ethier Tiefling or Human, but he is always a Barbarian. That is because we play a guy who enraged transformes into demonic beast. Something like werewolf but it's not really like this.
>Why Tiefling or Human?
Depends on DM/GM. If he allows you to trade your darkvision or other tiefling racial ability for looking like a normal human with subtle changes then go for tiefling. If not human must do.
To clarify: this is not a build made to be efficient, it is made to be immersive. I wanted to feel like a chained monster when playing it and hell I did, but it costs interactive efficency.

>>53065321
That's because it uses rage powers but hey if you can persuade your DM to let you use them in 3.5 or whatever you play be my guest
