>what religion is your runner?

My decker doesn't follow any religion but the Faith of Self. VISUALIZE and ACTUALIZE to REALIZE the TRUTH INSIDE.

I'm spending so much money on these motivational seminars and lectures, and I'm just waiting for the GM to decide whether the leader is a bug spirit or shedim

My face is dangerously Irish, so roman catholic naturally

Does neo anarchism count as religion?

Get your meta shit outta here

>autism speaks

Yeah but nah /tg/ is great, it has it's slow spots but the anonymity means the hyperautism of most games forums is avoided.

Also you can call a cunt a cunt when they need to be called a cunt.

If I had access to those 3D models I could get them made elsewhere but the markup's killing me.

Hm? Gnomon's ratings are the same as any other Medium artifact weapon. I think they just printed it again for ease of reference.

>>52763688
realized that right after posting. I thought it was giving those +3 as a bonus. I need sleep

Left the game due to local players being ultra competitive cunts awhile ago. Have a hankering to play it again due to the new models.

Think I should join back up?

>>52763005
Honestly, that probably depends more on if your local player base has changed since then, it could be the greatest game ever made, but if the players in your area are all jackasses you're probably not going to have a good time.

Is the khador pdf up?

So I have been making some converted monstrosities and listbuilding and I'm curious why so many lists run two wardens, two wreckers and a subduer? The wrecker seems like the best jack by far, though in a gun meta I see the value of multiple wardens.
Why isn't the subduer just a third
wrecker?

Also these are major WIP so don't be too harsh yet please

Monkey what the hell?

God damn it, Monkey.

Why are Monkeys so god-damn adorable?

This picture triggers me since it lists Silent-Blade Oni as being from Betrayers, when in fact it was from Planechase 2012 exclusively.

>>52726391
So was sakashima's student. Didn't feel like downloading two different set symbols.

I thought the "parasitic" mechanics of Kamigawa were Arcane, Splice Onto Arcane, and the almost arbitrary Arcane-Spirit interactions?
Ninjutsu isn't parasitic, you can have your Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni ninjutsu in on a Tormented Soul. You cannot Splice Onto Arcane anything onto a Lightning Bolt.

I'm glad I've got enough of a group to throw a game together. The best part is, none of them know what it is, so they'll be going in blind. Time to rev up those feelings of incompetence and doubt I remember from the last time I GM'd!

A few houserules I've got in mind, and maybe people here can give feedback or suggest more:
>in combat, declaration order is explicitly lowest Notice -> highest Notice, including identities that substitute
>you may Dodge a specific target instead of generally dodging, in which case you get double the benefit but only against that one target's attacks

There's also a few adjustments I did to bring some of the Avatars in Statosphere up to date, which I decided to do after reading the Healer in book 5 and thinking it was really, really dull.

>>52702081
What's your premise?

>initiative
eh, you could have it be strict, but I figured the idea behind keeping it generally freeform is to help for more organic/dramatic sequences.
Having that Dodge option does make sense though, since you can't be keeping your eyes on everyone in a fight.

Does anyone want to discuss campaign games? Got an upcoming one soon and I'm not sure whether to take a Ressur, Outcast or Ohaguro Bettari/Ama No Zako (my only two thunders choices) as my leader.

>>52682831
Oh nevermind, forgot Toshiro is a Henchman. I have him too.

So are Will o the Wisps' tactical action to use other Neverborn's (2) tactical actions only there for Zoraida? Not much reason for one to use Flurry and there's not a whole lot of (2) tactical actions in faction.

I just came in to say thank you for posting the good version of that image.

hahahahah no it won't.

Only thing I can tell you is play to your and her role. Are you the dominant (I doubt it)? Then say what you want her to do.

Just act natural OP. Don't try to be someone or something you're not, don't force ERP sessions, and don't be weird about it outside of the sessions.

All the time. Maybe because I'm an oldfag and play predominantly oldfag systems where these sorts of things were more expected and the rules were much more loosely written, but I consider this part and parcel of an RPG.

The rules are there to support you, not restrict you.

As a GM, you are free to do whatever you wish as long as it is in the service of the fun of your players.

The system is there to make your job easier, to provide you a reliable backup for when things get complicated or difficult, as well as to provide a common frame of reference between you and the players.

Of course, context and nuance are key. Knowing when to bend or act outside the rules, knowing not to do it too much to leave the players without a solid frame of reference, and knowing how to do so in ways that make the game more fun are all part of the skills of GMing.

I pretty much never go outside the rules. DMs who fudge, do so because they (1) are too immature to handle character death, (2) their players are too immature to handle character death (grow up), (3) they are bad at DMing and can't handle their precious railroad being derailed.

There are no other reason to fudge or cheat the rules. So you should follow them 100% of the time, only making rulings when the RAW directly contradicts common sense (i.e. drowning-healing in 3.5) or when the rules do not cover something at all.

If you "fudge" as a DM, you are cheating, and no amount of rule zero "omg im in charge" bullshit is going to change that fact. You are a bad DM and I have no respect for you as a person if you do this. I have quit campaigns when I spotted the DM fudging rolls to save my character's life because for some reason a character dying was just too much for him.

My white male human fighter character was turned into a sassy black woman by the GM. It's his fetish.

>>52810611

I'm not usually vocal about the anime is shit thing, but this is super shit.

At least TRY to make it related to pathfinder, op, fuck.

>>52810611
You could have at least tried.

>>52810078
Because it turns out it's enormously more efficient to use things like air and artillery support as support and not as a replacement for ground forces.

Refusing to send trillions to their death on the cold ground is defying all of human tradition. The Imperium is all about that shit.
