Lamia with big tiddies.

A princess who wants the crown from her sister, but is actually completely fucking inept and can't seem to do anything right, so she just keeps signing deals with monsters that she really shouldn't be signing, so ultimately they end up as a much much larger threat.

An ancient, a-woke-an KANG who seeks to claim Egypt and her ancient starships for his proud Melanoid people and destroy the Yakubian white devils who have oppressed them in his absence.

Otherwise, George R R Martin managed to make some stories that captured enough of an audience that HBO wanted to make a TV series on it, so it was at least enough for that.

Bad map, fun series.

Pretty sure it wouldn't be so popular today if the series still used its 80s/90s, pulpy covers. They're not "serious" enough.

I don't know, anon. I actually got the opportunity to fight back when I was deployed, and it wasn't a life-changing experience at all.

The simple fact of the matter is that most people playing games do not consider taking lives to be a big deal? I mean, why would they? They're just monsters or bad guys, and by defeating them, there's nothing really lost, there's no real impact beyond making the world a better place.

I'd personally recommend using that mindset to your advantage. Pull a Drakengard or Nier, and have them keep those feelings for sometime, only to reveal just how large of an impact their murder sprees really cause. Entire villages of innocent people speaking about the party like they're the boogeymen. Local news of a woman committing suicide because her husband was murdered by people armed with powers no one in the area could even imagine. Or at the very least, show that the villains they're fighting aren't just mindless drones, but have hopes and dreams just like everyone else, and to them, the players are the villains.

>>55183733
You really can't in a way that will make sense to players, to be perfectly honest. the closest you can get is the san loss mechanics in GURPS and Call of Cthulhu, where takign a life means a san loss (minor if you save), even when it is something that used to be human. Most players nowadays go the full murderhobo route regardless.

Literally took someone with a step down from Omnipresence to stop him/10

Abaddon's relationship with the gods of Chaos :

>But I am convinced that they hate us. They laugh at our dreams. They mock our ambitions. They fight us to enslave us, knowing they need us. They crave champions for their causes, elevating us, offering more– always more– to achieve our goals, only to abandon us and destroy us when we act against their whims. This is more than simple malice. Malice is crude and practically instinctive, a thing even beasts can comprehend. No, this is spite, and spite requires consciousness, emotion, the capacity for bitterness and wrath.

>But they reserve their fiercest hatred for Abaddon. Oh, how they despise him. They hunger for him, fighting each other for the honour of attracting his ironclad soul into their clutches. The Pantheon hates him the way parasites or addicts resent that which sustains them. Without Abaddon, they have no hope of victory. If he would only choose one of them, if he would only commit his destiny to one of the Gods, it would bring the Great Game of Chaos to its final moves.

>But then Abaddon would lose. He fights not for the Pantheon, those creatures that hate how they need him, nor does he care about their Great Game. He fights for himself, for his own ambitions, and for the brothers at his side. He fights for the Legions cast aside by the Emperor. He cares about the Imperium we built with our blood, sweat, bolters and blades– and he wants it back. He cares about returning to the godling that gave us life and seeing the Emperor bleed for all His failures. He cares about brotherhood, the unity of the damned, the wrongs that were done to all of us.

>And therein lies the root of the Gods’ spite. They beseech him. They beg him. They betray him in spite and then crawl back in the hope that he will bow to them.

>But the power is ultimately Abaddon’s, and that is what the Gods can never forgive.

>>55174887
>His greatest strength is also his deepest flaw. Because he will not bow to the Pantheon, they will forever betray him and work against his ultimate triumph. It is said that Abaddon’s destiny is an ouroboros, the serpent devouring its own tail, as the Pantheon chases a submission he will never give, and he chases a triumph that may never come.

>And so I tell you this, as true as I have ever been in my entire life: Abaddon’s entire existence is devoted to breaking the cycle. We, his brothers, are his instruments in forcing fate onto a new path.

Abaddon's growth as a character and the effects of the Chaos Gods nagging :

>My brother and I stood in one of the spinal observational spires overlooking the dark vista of the Vengeful Spirit’s backbone battlements. Outside of battle, he was often to be found here. As time had passed, as our armies had grown, as the assaults to steal the Vengeful Spirit had increased in number and intensity, Abaddon became evermore a warlord of the Eye rather than the simple, blunt instrument he had been as First Captain of the Sons of Horus.

>And yet.

>And yet Ezekyle himself diminished in ways few eyes outside the Ezekarion seemed to see. The malady that struck him burned slow in his blood, eating at him month after month. He grew distracted, insular, listless. The life in his golden eyes never faded; rather it seethed and turned sour. He had begun to grow apart from those of us he had brought together.

>He led us, still. His lapses and distractions had not yet threatened to compromise his leadership, but the more feverish and gaunter he grew, the more uneasy some of us in the Ezekarion became.

>Soon enough, he stopped sleeping. Sleep is rarely a concern for the warriors of the Legiones Astartes. We are able to subsist on mere hours of such healing rest each week, and we are capable of long periods without it entirely, albeit with a strain upon our physiologies. Yet Ezekyle claimed he no longer sought the respite of slumber at all. Instead he was almost always here between battles, staring out into the teeming half-dark between the Eye’s occluded stars.

>Sometimes I could almost sense what tore at his thoughts. Something? Someone? A presence, voiceless but far from silent, existed somewhere out there in the deeper dark. It called to him. Or threatened him. Or cursed at him. I could not tell.

>tfw when no space elf gf

what's the best system to play a unorthodex space setting
something like warhammer in which magic and science mix to create a nice setting

>>55173449

Well, as a Traveller nerd, I gotta say grab either MGT1 or Cepheus Engine (they're the same thing, really) and get Flynn's Guide to Magic in Traveller (from the Mongoose 1e/Third Party Content/Rules and Careers directory) and you're good. That's what I would do, anyway.

But for non-Traveller options, maybe look into White Star, it's popular and I hear it does pulpy raygun SF with an OSR foundation, so you could probably bolt any one of a dozen different magic systems on with no trouble. It might come with one, I dunno.
I do recall there's an explicitly "Science Fiction" magic system in the OSR General's Trove, as well.

I see what you did there, you clever man.

Hello, I'd like to request a drow rogue/mastermind. She'd have amber colored eyes and white hair, and suffered grave injuries very young, leaving her with a badly scarred face with the right eye missing (with the eyelid closed) and also missing her right arm.

I don't have a specific pose in mind, in case it helps her general demeanor is blunt, but cheery.

Cheers, and have fun !

Repostan to new thread in case the newfag missed the end of the old one

>>55150915
>And how does that Calbeck guy figure in?
>>no shit I'm a newfag
Roy Calbeck is the fursona of a particular ELH fan. Once upon a time, this fan pitched FASA on an ELH sourcebook, got a positive response, and sent off a draft. (It included his aforenamed donut steel SI character as a member of the ELH, complete with anthro-unicorn nose-art on his Pegasus hovertank.) He never heard back about the project again, but it certainly never got printed. Later on, he sent the same draft to Warner Doles' forums, where it was posted as background for the ELH, completely non-canon but fun to read.

Then Warner Doles' website became the official FanPro forums for BattleTech, complete with an "online canon" section. And someone derped by leaving the ELH writeup on-line as part of that section.

A couple of years later, a fan asked some questions about that "on-line canon" write-up on the forums "Ask the Writers" section, specifically its mention of outright magic. FanPro realized they'd derped, said "oh shit", yanked the write-up, and declared it thoroughly non-canon. Calbeck got butthurt about the whole thing, claimed FanPro had knowingly and maliciously stolen his write-up to add it to their IP without paying him for it, and used that "theft" as grounds to sue FanPro for control of the entire BT IP.

The judge laughed him out of court (it might've helped him if he'd actually hired a lawyer instead of representing himself, but I doubt anyone who actually passed the bar would've taken the case anyway), but it was yet another case of bullshit litigation costing BattleTech and its owners time, money, and effort they really could have better used elsewhere.
