>calling out questionable behavior
Yeah to a point. But let me have my raunchy language and coarse jokes. If I had to walk around in my LGS like I was at my office every day I would probably go insane

I don't play Magic, but in my experience with gaming clubs the /tg/ hobby scene is not a friendly environment to women. Women had a high attrition rate at my own club because it was full of spergs who couldn't hold their spaghetti. The ones who stuck around were usually just as awkward and weird as the men.

This thread can go nowhere good.

Summon the engineering guild.

I'm F/SN anon who is here again.

The game would be set during the 9th Holy Grail war occurring in 2021 in San Francisco.

I personally have run 6 other Holy Grail wars with the 1st and the 5th being backstory wars (I ran 2-4, added 5 as a backstory war, and ran 6-8). All the previous ones were for my in person group. Most often I would take Lancer as an NPC servant in order to facilitate a better Holy Grail War. Here is the previous list of servants.
>http://pastebin.com/riSZGjzE

Because all previous games were run for my in person group I never had to compile a list of lore. A lot of shit happened and we have a canon for the Fate/Last Path holy grail wars going back to 1802 in the game world. So it's probably gonna take me a while but I'm gonna have to compile a setting document of summaries of all the previous Holy Grail wars, what happened to various servants, the masters (surviving and no) and the changes to important organizations like The Clocktower and the church.

Right now I am here to answer any questions about the game's canon. It helps me organize my thoughts.

Also for the game's building here is how a servant will be built:
>level 12
>30 pb
>mythic 5
>only PoW except for caster who gets Spheres Casting
>you get a single 9th level maneuver as a Noble Phantasm, or a minor artifact built using specification I give you
>each class gets a set of extra skills in addition, like Magic Resistance, Presence Concealment, Battle Continuation, Mad Enhancement, etc. these will be in the document I'm compiling
>every player gets randomly assigned a 5th level Master PC I build
>you mostly control this Master except for a modified version of Hero points called Fate points, they do a few different things compared to Hero points
>you earn a Fate point every time I have your Master do something against what you want them to do or if you master sacrifices a Command Seal

I'm here to answer questions. Go at it.

>>52290062
Does anybody know if Dynasties and Demagogues, from Atlus Games is in the trove? I'm trying to find myself a copy of it. I heard it's a good read if you want to do better at running nobility and intrigue in a campaign.

Fear denies faith anon, surely the most venarated and honourable adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus would never deceive the emperors angels?

>>52290021
What are they going to see? The Big E's armor was powdered for those cruxes. At most all you're going to see is a fleck of gold sand. Not even necessarily gold, if it was just a grain of one of the armor's internal systems or some shit.

>>52290021
The Pandorax novel (Black Library obviously, take it or leave it), says only the most ancient suits from the Heresy and its immediate aftermath have an actual shard. Beliel then breaks open his Crux and uses the shard to rekt the immense GUO coming through a portal.

So going by that, it'd only be in the most venerable suits of 1st and 2nd Founders. Though I guess later foundings might get lucky and salvage/inherit one or two out of pure luck.

Jumpers!
Architects among us, tell me your building styles!
For everyone; describe your favored architectural themes!

To avoid the plot pitfalls of Reapers, the Starchild, and macguffin powered primary color endings.

>>52290018
Gothic Revival.

From cathedrals to manor houses to country homes, I have a soft spot for that semi-creepy elegant looking building. The sort of house you are equally likely to find inhabited by a rich snob, an old crone, a charismatic witch or a host of ghosts.

>People aren't going to suddenly forget how to make guns, either.

Making modern guns is actually an incredible feat of precision engineering. Making a modern handgun by, well, hand, without access to modern tools is next to impossible, or takes so much time and trial and error that it is unfeasible.

>>52289353
>People aren't going to suddenly forget how to make guns, either.
Why not? All it takes is for the people who know how to make guns dying without passing on the information to other people who don't know how to make them.

>>52289409
I'd say the knowledge on how to make guns is too valuable to not be passed down. And even if all people with that knowledge were to drop dead and the records were to disappear, people'd stell know about gubs and try to recreate them.

>>52288769
I can't even tell what this piece of shit is supposed to be.
Also I always see people slap 'pro painted' on models they slam dunked in paint and it irks me so bad.

Ultra-charismatic tactician who ends up recruiting just about every NPC he meets
Spiritcaller or whatever who temporarily calls forth their ancestors as spirits
Shaman who calls forth/forms elementals from the environment
Lurker in the Swarm whose body is a hive for a swarm of insects
Bard who calls forth spirits/ancestors/whoever to play the other instruments in his band
Dominator who repeatedly mind-controls people
Ophiuchus accompanied by a bunch of floating spirit weapons (I picture like Guild Wars 2 Guardians but psionically-wielding an armory works too)

>>52289992
I'd say Dominator's another kind of thrallherd.

Crystalmancer, controlling crystalline beings, and casting light based spells through their refractions.

>>52288353
Do illusionists with armies of illusory goblin count?

Stop being a faggot, and quit spamming Jack.
The fuck is wrong with you.

>>52287626
I am actually not the faggot that keeps spamming Jack. I am a new faggot with a single Jack post. I wasn't aware it was a problem.

>>52287638
I see little reason to extend to you the benefit of the doubt.

Heroes don't kill and always win.

Villains are suckers and usually pretty damn rich..

1. Demand pay up front

2. Put up token resistance when the doomsday plan inevitably goes south

3. Get incapacitated but not really hurt long-term by the good guy

4. repeat

5. profit

6. Ride your iron clad job security into the sunset.

Speaking of henchmen to a villain, here are the best henchmen in my opinion.

>>52286906
1. Money.
2. Intentional obfuscation of nefarious activity, including claming the hero's are the truly corrupt ones.
3. Thought reform, basically what cults use to trap members.
4. A shared hatred or common enemy.
5. Bullshit reasons like hypnosis.
6. False glamour, make working for you seem amazing from the outside looking in.
7. Bribery or blackmail.
8. Chemical dependency, addict all your employees.

Unless there are hebivore dragons, you might want to change that to "all predators are dragons"
Otherwise neat idea.

You're suggesting that the dragons just started breeding with the goats and wolves and dolphins out of boredom?

Are you... daring us to enter your magical realm?

Is "Start Collecting! Orkz" worth it? I want it mainly for painmob formation

WARHAMMER 40,000: CHAOS SPACE MARINES
Q: What is the maximum charge range of a Helbrute that
has just performed a Deep Strike as part of the Mayhem Pack
Formation – is it 12" or 0"?
A: Units that have arrived from Deep Strike Reserve
cannot charge in the turn they do so, unless a rule
explicitly states otherwise. Once the Helbrutes have
arrived from Deep Strike Reserve, roll on the Crazed
table for them and apply the result as normal – for the
purposes of Blood Rage the Helbrutes’ charge range is
still considered to be 12".

What does this mean? Can they charge or not?
