Why is it that every genderflipped primarch picture, without exception, looks like it was drawn by a child who has yet to learn body proportions?

They are all uniquely garbage in their own way, it's almost impressive how shit it is.

Well, apparently time is no longer totally linear on a wide scale so it doesn't really matter how long it was anyway.

But mainly it's a feeble attempt to justify anyone being able to field shit like a hover predator or the Primaris already have their own dreadnought.

>>54559874
>My question is: why so long?
I would have said to justify Primaris Marines being in dreadnoughts. But then GW's facebook shoveled us that "time is no longer linear" shit.

40k, even with the plot moved forward, is a setting, not a story. Starting the new normal enmedia res allows you to play around in the outcome of a narrative they crafted rather than having it contradicted by developing lore etc

Meanwhile standard has 10 plus decks in standard, probably its worst format current, that are tier 1 and 2, and eternal formats have like 25+ decks that are considered viable and capable of winning a tourney.

Look for more ways to say "yes" than "no."

If your players are terrible at coming up with what they want to do next, don't be afraid to drop in an NPC that is super chill and is all "come with me, friends, adventure awaits!"

This is the guy you want. You don't need to do the exact rooms, but he has a lot of great ideas to utilize as a fresh DM. He has a whole New to D&D playlist that you could go through in an afternoon.

your forced meme requires too much work. tell you what, you do all the "Bolas posting" you want and see how it goes. Be the change you want to see in the world.

>saged

I've seen more forced stuff frankly.

>>54559655
It's hardly forced, it just has no potential

I dunno, Rick is mainly a rogue - because he's a slippery motherfucker that always gets away with shit. You can stack science, alchemy, magic or hacking on top of him, but he's primary a rogue. Just specced to taking advantage of people, making people do things for him, etc, instead of sneaking around.
Morty is really just a barbarian. If he gets pushed around for too long, he'll just start killing people.

Really, creating Rick&Morty-esque characters isn't about what stats you assign to them, it's about how you roleplay their personalities.

A Rick-like character will basically be a manipulative asshole who's completely unable to not be a manipulative asshole, even to the people he loves and cares.

A Morty-like character is a fucking timebomb of emotional and social frustration, overlaid with a simultaneous paradoxical lack of self-esteem and pride. Because Morty will one moment brag about how much adventures he had with Rick, and the next he'll be a blubbering social retard unable to communicate with a girl in class.

go fuck yourself. if all you want to do is spend 4 hours rolling initiative and attack rolls, swinging your sword around then go play Diablo 3.

In the end non of this shit really matters, but I don't care. I want to play as a character who makes giant crab congee and spicy griphon wings. I do this because it makes me feel happy and not because it gives you a +1 to your attack rolls (although if I had my way it would also do that thing or maybe con saves instead).

When my character spends their down time creating a embroidered tapestry depicting the adventuring party to treasure forever it is for my own personal enjoyment and I hope just a little bit that the other players characters appreciate it too.

When my halfling rogue weaves a basket and trades that basket for a loaf of bread to share with the party I do it because I like that level of interacting in the game world with the other players. My enjoyment of the game is not predicated on endless, mindless combat. At least not in table top role playing games.

>>54559302
You misunderstand me, my man.

I am not saying that these aren't things that player characters should be able to do. It's quite the opposite.

I don't think you should need to be made to invest resources into skills that don't give you a tangible benefit in order to roleplay your character. Think about it, that's actively penalizing you for roleplaying. Your character is worse at their primary role, in order to get something that basically never nets you any real advantage.

Why should your wizard be a slightly shittier wizard because he's taken a cooking class? Why should your fighter be a shittier fighter because he's also into whittling and quite good at it. Why should your rogue take a hit to his efficiency as a rogue because he's got a knack for singing?

Rules like these don't encourage roleplaying, they discourage it. By making these sorts of choices into mechanics that consume limited, often non-renewable resources, it means that every point sunk into a bullshit skill is a point spent not making an actually useful character. If they are not going to be mechanically important or useful skills, there is little reason to actually have them consume the same resources as the important and useful skills. If they exist solely to be used for roleplaying, why are they behind a distinctively mechanical gate? Why are they something that you are not freely able to weave into your character?

>>54559483
That's what I like about 13th Age. Instead of skills you have descriptors. Descriptors you define, with broad potential for interpretation. It's like Aspects in Fate. So that makes them much more versatile, since instead of having to have separate Cooking, Wine Tasting, Tailoring, and Theater Appreciation skills you could just have a more widely-encompassing Aesthete descriptor. Also, you only role for them when it matters to the plot, so if you want to be a good cook but don't plan on your cooking skills ever being able to solve problems, you can just not invest points into that descriptor. And since those points are entirely separate from the ones for your class abilities, you don't have to worry about investing in them reducing your capability in your core competencies.

I've always wanted to make an NPC's story arc make the players feel genuine emotion.
Technically I've succeeded, but only with two players. I want to make everyone emotionally invested, but I'm not good enough.

>>54558897
This, I'd also like a personal quest that, if successful, ends with me getting an ability or item specific to my character

Minimum of $3 trillion. "Megacorporations" are basically conglomerates of several giant corporations today. They make *everything*. They are supposed to be the size of very large economies or trade blocs. Add up GE, Apple, GM, Microsoft, Vale and Boeing and THAT'S a megacorporation. Otherwise it's just a big corporation, subject to national governments.

France has a GDP of $2.5 trillion. If your megacorporation is smaller than that then it's shit and not really a megacorporation at all.
