My last Numenera had a character who was a a Vengeful Jack who hunts with great skill. His weapon of choice was a katana with the cutting edge on the inside of the blade.

He punched an NPC for being too cowardice to stop a great evil he knew about from killing a whole village. Later when I brought up someone who knew something about his vengeance he almost killed them. He didn't because I brought a kid into the equation and that stumped his player for like, 10 minutes.

>allowing katanas
This is how edge is allowed to happen

I was running a game set in an apocalyptic world, the characters were from a village built around a radio tower. Winter was coming and the village was getting sick, so the characters were sent to look for medicine in a hospital in the city nearby. They headed there, crossed a broken bridge, fought some demon wolves, then ran into some bandits. This escalated to them fighting the rest of the bandits, who had taken over the hospital they needed the medicine from. One character got permanent injuries from that fight, so he made a new character, and had that one start out captured. The characters rescued him, and he immediately sought out the leader, a woman in her 20s whose parents had been the original leaders of the bandit group, and beat her unconscious. Then, he got a scalpel (since he was in a hospital) and severed her spine. I told him to roll Healing, wondering WTF his problem was. He rolled the equivalent of a 35 heal check in D&D. So yeah he crippled her from the legs down. They cleared out the hospital and kept her with them in a wheelchair. They were going to dump her in the river at one point, but the player who did it actually ended up handing her a written note later saying he was sorry for what he did to her.

>What's the most you ever have paid for a game?
About $350 for StarCraft and expansions
>What's the most you would ever pay for a game?
Right now probably $200 would be max. Though I have an urge to get into LCGs so it might be more once I'm done.

>>54760776
>What's the most you would ever pay for a game?
Depends.
>What's the most you ever have paid for a game?
I fell for a meme back in November and I'm seriously debating between keeping it as it comes in and saving it to scalp later.

Bonus points for mono-White Vampires. Looks like they'll be in Ixalan, and supposedly they'll be included in Commander 2017.

>>54754594
How do mono-white vampires work from a color philosophy standpoint? They're kind of selfish by default. If they occured naturally I could see them as Green, maybe even Blue if they sucked out mental energy or knowledge or something, but White just seems so heavily against their inherently parasitic biology

>>54754679

Epic is pretty great. It is a shame playerbase is essentially dried up.

You mean an army several trillion strong?

Yes. Some people make settings that can handle that. Some can't. Which are you?

This looks like mediocre tripe.

Now post a PDF of it so we can see just how mediocre this tripe is.

And also post a copy of High Voltage Mittens while you're at it. That one was below average Lesbian BDSM experimentation, but Dammit I need Closure!

>>54815777
The setting is deliberately convoluted and inconsistent, and this is even acknowledge in-world indirectly by a few characters. It's a good vehicle for the light-hearted, imperfect porn vibe they got going, but only goes to show that not all fantasy is a good tabletop setting.

>>54815777
Completely incoherent garbage. Decent porn though.

Mortarion disappoints me. I don't collect CSM, but I want all the primarchs to be cool releases. Magnus did a god job of impressing.
Mortarion is just fucking small and looks like a generic death guard character. He's only 1.5 x the size of a normal Death Guard marine, which I know are bigger than regular marines and almost primaris size, but not greatly impressive. Just seems this guy is about the size of a Lord of Contagion, just elevated off the ground.

The only thing remotely daemonic is the wings, which is something a normal Chaos Lord could take up until 6th edition. I do like the insectoid style it does work, however older art when he had the grim reaper theme going had with with angelic wings to give that stark contrast which was pretty cool.
I expected a tall, bloated monstrosity.
I know in the lore, not all daemon princes grow into huge hulking figures... but come on, this is a daemon primarch. We haven't had a little daemon prince model in 40k since Doomrider.
I'd happily let someone proxy a larger more imposing model / conversion. This is just a large guy in power armor, not even very mutated at all.The only thing that says he;s mortarion is his gas-mask and scythe.

I've used the DG model that seems to be placed most in line with him for scale. The Lord of contagion seems to be further behind Mortarion so isn't a good example for scale since he's smaller in the background.

>>54815575
You realise he is a way behind the comparison model in that pic right?

>>54815575
i can kinda understand your gripe about morty not being much mutated but its him.

Mortarions deal is that he doesnt like chaos all that much, he wasnt willing in all that heresy stuff but kinda just rolled with it and he probably denies most of the gifts, papa nurgle offers him.

Oh god how can people get this so bad? Magnus just caused a permanent wound in space by translocating his world. The Great Rift was spawned when Abaddon destroyed the Cadian Pylons.

>"Upon Cadia, Abaddon brought low the mysterious geometric pylons that dotted the wind-swept outlands, and in doing so weakened the barrier between worlds, for these ancient megaliths were fashioned to keep the stuff of Chaos from the material dimension. This same act his agents repeated on every world that harboured such structures. Without these lynchpins to hold the material dimension sacrosanct, warp storms tore the galaxy along its length"

Apparently there are more pylons on the Cadia sector worlds which are preventing the Eye from growing towards Terra (picture related).

>The Great Rift was spawned when Abaddon destroyed the Cadian Pylons.
Perhaps you should try reading my post again? As I didnt say that he didnt do this. Kinda odd.

To add to this, The Fenris thing among many wars and events like Damocles warzone and the fracture of Biel-Tan helped in the growth of the Great Rift and expansion.

Abaddon broke the dam in Cadia and the Chaos water flowed towards areas o great conflict and warp disruption. Unluckily for Abaddon, the pesky Necrons have built more pylons in his planned path. So they got to go.

I think there is a great chance of missing a lot of things and even breaking pieces if playing that way.

I would if I could, OP

Instead the only place I could play Warhammer 40k would likely be at a Games Workshop with a 12 year old who hasn't painted any of the miniatures that his parents bought him and glued his vindicator together desperately and impatiently, leaving globs of dried glue all over the seams of the tank

Additionally, more middle schoolers are running around all over the store and occasionally my opponent will leave for 10-15 minutes, refusing to take his turn

Finally I just pack my things back up and go to the paint table because I want to paint my new Roboute Guilliman. right before one of his friends runs over and knocks over the water cup directly onto the model and myself

>>54814498
Honestly, if you want atmosphere, bring a fog machine with you and plop it in a corner of the table, treat it as hazardous terrain.

Dwarves laugh themselves to death when their new beardless brother can't handle his ale.Or his 100 pound set of armor. Or his axe.

If Tolkien's elves are anything to go by, they could probably drink the dwarves under the table.

Mirkwood elves know how to party

>>54813869
TO BE FAIR, the average Mirkwood elves (not Legolas and his dad but the elves they ruled over) are basically the rednecks of elfdom.

Not that I think the "more civilized" elves COULDN'T drink dwarves under the table, I just doubt they would.

I'd be all for it, as long as the imposters are hilarious parodies of the party members. Just close enough where they could be mistaken for the party member on a particularly bad day, both in terms of looks and personality.

Fighting them should be a comedic version of fighting yourselves.

Good idea. Plenty of fun to be had.

Actually, the PC has a clone of himself that is inhabited by the soul of an ancient necromancer just walking around, so this one is a freebie

I don't know. A fat old wizard that casts alter self?
