it's a flat distribution for 1d666, so there are exactly 667 possible results.

Let a computer do it for you. This can potentially give you any distribution you want.

Roll d8-1 for each of the three digits. Re-roll eights. If you need to be told the distribution that gives you, then there's no hope for you.

>>55024090
Depends if you mean
>a single die from 1 to 666
in which case there's 666 possible results with a flat probability, or
>roll 1d6 for each place
which gives 216 equally-likely results.

Fuck off, frogposter.

Thanks dad

I think of a cool army paint scheme and build it off from that.

Initially my admech were going to be covered in ancient scrolls so I made up lore for a library like forge that sends out skitarii to hunt down ancient writings and histories.

Then I wanted to go conversion crazy and decided to add in that they have a huge amount of biologis priests to fit the lore.

From there I built it as I went, I play with Delmar vs marines a lot so now my forge world is in league with haemonculus to become master genetic engineers and their quest is hunting down marines to study them.

It might not be first founding tier of depth but it's enough for me to build from and be happy to share with anyone interested.

Now I'm just working on fluff for my major characters and I think I'll be happy.

Third, the players have to be constrained in their movement somehow, otherwise they would be overwhelmed. I'll be starting them in the center room of the blue tesserect. The blue tesserect's center, east, west, north, and south rooms will be split vertically in thirds, and the players will start in the middle third of the center cube. This means they will not have access to the switch, or the top and bottom hatches in any of these rooms. This means the top and bottom thirds of each of these rooms will be difficult to access. For the four surrounding rooms, the top thirds will be completely inaccessible, and the bottom thirds will only be accessible through the switches. The top and bottom thirds of the center cube are only accessible from the top and bottom cubes, respectively, and these rooms are only accessible from the double cube. This means the players will have time to figure out that the doors don't work exactly like they would expect, and that they must understand or luck their way through the double cube (which will be full of murkey water and nothing else) before they have access to any switches, and thus any other tesserects.

Fourth, the bottom rooms accessible only by the switches will be the goals of the dungeon. To escape, the pics must reach these four bottom sections and activate some magical alignment rune or something, and once they do all four, they'll be able to teleport out. Therefore, at each of the other ends of these four switches, I'll be placing a boss that they have to defeat. The goal then becomes 'kill the four bosses'.

Here's an image to help understand the thirds thing.

Fifth, the eight tesserects will each have their own unique theme. The blue tesserect will be generic thassilonian ruin themed. The red tesserect will be cold themed. The green tesserect will be jungle themed. The purple tesserect will be bayou graveyard themed. The orange tesserect will be desert themed. The light blue tesserect will be spider/ghost themed. I don't have an idea for the pink tesserect yet. The yellow tesserect is prison block themed.

I need ideas for individual rooms for every theme, and just feedback in general. Thanks /tg/.

>>55022325
What exactly are you looking for? Combat encounters that match those themes? Themed traps? What sizes are the rooms? Do they have structures in them? You need to be more specific if you're going to ask for advice.

It's almost always better to use pregens for one-shot games, unless if characters can be made in less than 15 minutes.

Character creation shouldn't take that long even for a regular game.

>>55022652
That's what I'm saying dude. Games should start within 30mins.

I like this OP.

Whats the appeal of space wolves exactly? Why would play space marines with extra furfaggotry?

Like I get you don't want to make even more ultramarines but you can always go Blood Angels or Imperial Fists or something else that doesn't involve fursuits

Death Guard here, been on holiday, what have I missed?

I have no clue what the personality quirks of a Sherman would even be.

Doesnt really work with names friendo

'This is Oṣóbẹ̀rù's brother... Oṣóbẹ̀rù.'

You roleplay charisma character events because you have control over your character. This means you can make them say what you want them to say, same as why a game that isn't cancer will allow a low Int character to make plans and do art things even though there character isn't.

However when these things cannot be easily abjucated, so as using body language to intimidate, or putting your heart into a performance, or doing something over several hours in gane time that would be boring and unwieldy to roleplay, the stats are then used.

Stats cam also be partially or purely a gameplay abstraction divorced from their in - world connotations. Intelligence adds to magic damage and charisma increases your number of hirelings you can have with you passively, it doesn't have to be a real factor in the gane world beyond that if you don't want.

Yet another solution- remove Intelligence as a stat and replace with Knowledge or Magic. Charisma can be replaced or removed as well.

Hope this helps. Season to taste, stir well.

>>55021281
yes, much the same as I'd expect to be allowed to reroll if I made any character who was rendered useless by the campaign premise without knowing ahead of time, if social stats and skills hold no value, and learning that changes how you would make your character, then it's only fair that the players should have the chance to build their characters accordingly.

>>55021281
A GM who penalizes you for your roleplaying is an asshole.

A GM who gives you a bonus because you roleplayed is a good GM.

If you aren't able to think of anything, you can wave your hand and go "I say something like this to the guard" and roll your skill normally.

Why is this such a fucking problem for people?

allready did that when 5E came out

When do thousand sons get their codex

8th edition is pretty bland so far. Maybe the DG and 1kSons codexes will spice things up, if they don't, I may be focusing on other hobbies for the next few years.

Sorry.

>>55019254
Tempted to play a Kenku Wu Jen or Awakened Mystic attempting to correct the whole lack of creativity and unable to speak thing by elevating his mind. Would his races curse affect telepathy?

>>55019396
Even if telepathy wouldn't work Mind Meld bypasses the language requirements and also gives you memories which is great.

I wanna make a character that is an artist (more specifically, a painter), that either arted so hard it became magic, or arted so hard it impressed some fairies or some shit and they gave them magic.

Fey Warlock or Lore Bard? I'm not looking for the optimum here, I'm just going for style. Attacks styled as flinging magical paint at people from a magical brush, colorful abilities, that sorta thing.

Likewise I can't decide between half-elf (Drow Descent) for the aesthetics of Dancing Lights and Faerie Fire,
or VHuman with a feat I can't even decide.
