Pathfinder General /pfg/
Starfinder setting theroys: Exactly how technologically advanced with the general setting be? Are we going the current meta of semi realistic with box shaped ships and similar junk? Perhaps the aesthetic of ye olde raygun gothic? Or maybe a skip hop and jump past all of those and go full singularity and hit Warframe.

I kinda wish Druids had to be true neutral. It doesn't make sense for druids to be anything but.
>>53025200
How do you figure? Even if Nature is "Unaligned," as it were, druids are people, and people vary in motivation and belief. It's not unreasonable to think that different kinds of people could nevertheless approach the same idea of communing with Nature from different sides, so to speak.
How do you act when controlling a "Blue and Orange morality" NPC?
For instance, take "old" angels as they were depicted before the humans-with-fluffy-wings meme started to spread. How would something like an Orphanim or Cherubim react to a party of adventurers?
>>53024643
WTF are you talking about retard
>>53024643
They are beyond human comprehension. In D&D, quite a lot of the angel types are also horrifying like that. They'd likely be very judgemental, but still merciful. Their actions, thoughts, and base appearance are simply impossible to conceive, so they can act however you like really. They might attack you out of the blue, to save you from something, or to test you.. or whatever. All kinds of weird shit happened with angelic beings throughout the bible.
>>53024643
Old school Angels are the opposite of orange and blue morality. They're biblical literalists, which is pretty fucking standard.
Saying that, when you're dealing with actual alternate moralities, it's about consistency. Come up with a few clear rules and principles, think through the logic and extrapolate from that. Try and make it make sense in context, so that their actions aren't just random, but based on a strange internal logic.
An NPC in one of my games, for instance, operates on principles of beauty and ugliness rather than good and evil. She loves beauty, and hates ugliness.
To the PC's, she's been a great friend- Their actions are beautiful, heroic deeds worthy of song and story, and they defeat vile, ugly things.
However, her other actions have unnerved them. Such as learning that she has no compunctions about taking someone she finds distasteful and simply rewriting them, remaking their mind and body in a manner more to her taste- In her mind, she's simply destroyed ugliness and created beauty. The defilement of another's free will is of no consequence to her.
It's an interesting tension to the relationship. So far she's been a good enough ally that they don't really want to get on her bad side, but at the same time she does get up to stuff that they often find quite unsettling, despite her fundamental motive being a twisted form of compassion.
What happened to Malal, and why did they essentially write him out of the WH40k lore?
>>53024432
He was never in 40k lore.
He was in Fantasy but his creator left and took the rights with him.
He's been referenced since, Malice, but he's just not very good so they never cared to actually replace him.
>>53024432
They lost the copyright for his name
>>53024432
Everyone agreed that the concept of a "Chaos god of atheism" would be more interesting as part of a "Golden Throne finally breaks down" scenario.
And I'm back after being gone a solid week. Sorry about that, lets get right back into things.

How is romance handled in your game, whether it is between PC and NPC or PC and PC?
Please stop spamming this shit.
>>53023858
Spamming what?
>>53023804
TTRPG is not a medium that lends itself well to romance.
>>53023926
Deedlit. Because the image one uses invalidates their post. I can guarantee you pennies to pounds that someone will ignore the contents of my post just to call me a dumb frogposter.

Why do people like AdMech? They're the lamest army in the game, every single model looks exactly the same.
reposting
I want to ally in some eldar corsairs to my guard list for fun.
What does the average guard list lack that an eldar corsair army can fix?
Any ideas for what i should bring? Want to take a few venoms
One of my players keeps dragging out arguments and causing other in-game problems with other players because he loses arguments and doesn't get his way. In one case he killed an NPC which caused a quest to be uncompletable.
How do I go about kicking him from the group in a "polite" manner so the group can have some more fun and a lot less wasted time from bickering and the group, as a whole, not being seen so negatively since they are trying to be heroes/ good guys?
>>53022737
Aren't the other players fed up with him too? If yes that should be very easy.
>>53022737
Have you pulled him aside and asked him to be less confrontational?
Give examples of the arguments, why he starts them, why he loses arguments so often and gets frustrated. You're giving is a shred of a story here.
>>53022804
kinda, but i havent asked them their opinions yet since we're only 5 sessions into the game
>>53022829
usually having to do with the logic of things. like say the ceiling is 15 ft high he will argue that they didnt travel far enough down for it to be that high, or he'll try to blame someone or me of metagaming and we arent and we have to just let him argue and ive had to tell him to shut up because he will just keep going at it and sometimes when he does finally shut up and we get back on with the game he will say "but X..." and bring it up again sometimes.
the main reason i come here instead of asking the other players is because the game is still relatively starting and i dont want there to be in-fighting and stuff like this happening so early into it.
Why don't the space elves get any love around here? Their fluff is pretty interesting
>>53022431
Because nearly everything that is wrong with the Galaxy is their fault.
The only "love" is by waifufags that don't care about their lore and just masturbate to the unthreatening waifu-version they made up in their heads due to memes and fanfiction. The rest never leaves PURGE KNIFE YEARS DEUS VULT meme train.
Harlequins best Eldar, Cegorach should have taken the fight to Slaanesh, not that Ynnead thing.
>>53022742
>PURGE KNIFE YEARS
I'm deeply sorry for that.
I'm thinking of pumping extra oxygen into my house to get my players more alert--they seemed a little sleepy during our last session.
Has anyone here done this before?
>>53021963
Is this one of your players?
>>53021963
Just make coffee.
>>53024107
Evaporated coffee in the air. Yes, that might just work.

it's fucking nothing; where's the sweeping advance?
>>53020840
Battle shock, more duded die. It's been talked about before there is no break test to flee so there is no sweeping advance.
No word on how consolidation will work when you wipe out the enemy though.

Blue. Normies infest our secret clubs no matter what we do. Might as well get the perfect game out of it.
Of those, only blue has no downsides.
>BUT FUCKING NORMIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
If it's the perfect game, playing with normies would not be less enjoyable than playing with learned experts.
