The Tau seems to be flourishing.

From the genocides, the Necrons, Tyranids and Orks are pretty much unkillable.

I'd never thought I'd see a bigger faggot than OP but you managed it.

The BBEG can, and should, be allowed to have is propaganda work if they have it.
Don't let it be a set piece.

>>52869179
Yes.
You should read about Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and compare it to with the invasion of Afghanistan.
Afghans didn't read that Soviet Army is huge and indestructible in contrast to Czechoslovakians who were taught that in school and told so on the news

>tell each player individually to discourage meta-gaming

Yo if you wanted the entire party to know you should have fucking told the entire party.

My DM did something much like this once and we didn't tell each other SHIT because we thought there was a reason he told us individually instead of together.

>>52869188
My main issue is that they werent biting any bait I sent their way but were getting annoyed at not having anything to do. So I wanted to be more direct without being the exposition fairy.

>that's what my character would do
So give their characters more reason to cooperate?

GW not understanding their own lore or numbers bigger than two digits.

Basically the same shit lore since 5th, it is impressive they made worst lore than that previous edition

>>52868899
They will have daily preview articles on their community site. Just wait and see.

This is fake news.

Seriously though, they said all the codexes will be scrapped for 8th yesterday in the FAQ. Old news.

You missed the key word "existing". There will be new ones for the new edition. Perhaps you should learn to read before they come out.

Who's pumped for the new Planescape? Think they will release the dialogue engine?

>>52868552
>Getting inspiration from videogames
>Learning from videogames that use dumbed down P&P Mechanics

Let's be honest here. We probably all like classic roleplaying video games for bringing alive what we encounter in our mind when playing tabletop or pen & paper. But they do it on the most trivial and most railroading and simplest way possible.

>>52868552
Great OP.
>>52869573
A vidya, while railroady, is a great way to get how something "should be".
If you are just interplanally punching stuff, you are doing Planescape wrong.

Also, while fun, don't use Dragonshard as a model for anything. Ever.

Here is your (you) for bringing a player's out-of-game hobbies into your judgement of their in-game performance. We should probably start interviewing players on the porn habits while we're at it, and what video game console is their favorite, and whether they like Pepsi or Coke more.

My roll20 screening process:

>likes anime - out
>male playing a female character - out
>female - out
>novel-length backstory - out, does he even expect me to read all that shit?
>"does your game use Spheres of Might/Power?" - out

>he said, attaching a picture of animu girl

You can't "distance" yourself from your hobbies. If you have them, they already have polluted you, and it's inevitable you'll start bringing this shit into where it doesn't belong.

First for aelves wheeeeennnn???

Are Naga immortal? If so, that seems really strong.

im hoping this is still here in 5 hours, ill be back to answer any questions.

and the game is High Fantasy set in (not)Europe, using anima beyond fantasy.

I got an idea.
Everything summoned has a significant chance of being fucked up in some way.
Like unnaturally low stats, or missing abilities, or sometimes it's literally ends up a half summoned pile of mess on the ground that is completely unusable and sickening to see.
But very rarely, taking the risk on the summon grants a freakishly good monster.

If your game has a luck stat, then it might actually be important for a character like this.

Strong link - He has to pass some kind of willpower or mental check to avoid taking damage equal to the damage his summoned creature takes. If it dies, he flat-out loses consciousness

Weak link - He has to pass a willpower check to issue any commands. If he fails, the creature just stands there doing nothing at all. If he rolls a 1 the summoned creature disappears.

Curse of instability - He has to constantly chant or perform some other action to maintain the summoning. If he's interrupted, the monster disappears.

Burden of proof - Anything he summons has an extremely short duration unless he sacrifices some physical remains of that creature type during the summoning

All I have is some shitty Heromachine-made stuff. Here's my evil Psion/Incarnate, for example. Made the bone armor out of a dire bear, and got it masterworked.

Innovation is allowed, it just has to go though centuries or millennia of peer review.

>>52866839

This is a meme. The Imperium creates stuff all the time, the only thing is it takes a long time to screen them because there is the very real possibility doing it wrong can literally summon demons.

Even then, it depends on the thing they are innovating in particular. There's all sorts of various guns and other weapons but they just restrict people from making any major modifications on their own not that it really stops people doing so anyways.

>>52866857
Centuries is workable to some degree, but millennia...? You'd be dead before you'd see if you saved the Imperium with your life's work.
