face cards are face cards, they are 10

defender wins ties, if the attacker attacks and doesn't win, obviously he lost. if the defender defends and doesn't die, he obviously wins

have you tried playing the game? get a friend and try it with varying hp pools and see what works and what is monotonous

you could remove a card or two from the deck

I don't know enough about your game to answer anything else

Oh I slipped, how do I scale HP/Damage with levels.

>>54256187

play with it until something feels right
remove low power cards from the deck

after all 2 cards are removed from your deck, you will always hit for at last 6 which is two points higher than 4

or just add a die

Horus feels bad and turns his legions amd the remaining loyalisy legions on the chaos gods. We'll call it the Horus Heresy Heresy. Of course some traitor legions would be too far gone so we can still have marine badguys.

Oh right, not everybody knows what the Cabal's prediction/plan involving the Alpha Legion was.
Basically, if Horus had killed the Emperor, then he would have been stricken with grief within a few generations, and wiped out the rest of Humanity, also dealing the deathblow to Chaos.
So what I meant was:
Alternate timeline 40k where both Humanity and Chaos ceased to exist sometime in M31-M32.

Maybe a empathy meter?

Almost all of whether this succeeds or fails will rest on how you sell it to your players. Once the murder-hobo mentality is established it's going to be awfully difficult to get them out of it.

start off by describing human NPCs as brainless complete idiots the PCs will laugh off killing in drove

Slowly make them seem more human as time goes by, having them mourn over lost comrades, plead beg and cry in earnest when faced with the barrel of a death ray, and have motivations that the PCs could get behind if they weren't serving the Furon empire.

Don't force or try to convince PCs to act a certain way, adapt your descriptions and portrayals of human characters instead.

lmao @ ur thread
Try the general

Head vampires and super werewolves. Just up the monster hierarchy and it'll work out.

The official Supernatural Handbook for Mutants and Masterminds 3e has Dracula at Power Level 14. I'm sure there isn't any overt explanation needed for that to be a challenge for players, just make sure you get mileage out of minions.

>not just buying online and playing in the room you dedicated in your house for hosting your friends on game night

Still, a respectable tidbit of wisdoms you've shared OP.

>>54251273
>Having friends to play with
Look at this normalfag.

But I don't have to talk to shelves

Maybe try to take some interest in him as a person rather than just a DM.

Instead of pussyfooting around it, talk to him openly and directly about your concerns like an adult.

>>54250783

I did. He refuses to give up but you can tell he's absolutely run out of steam. He's just being pure stubborn and refuses to see the writing on the wall.

It's not the most traditional, because it isn't in the traditions of anyone nowadays, nor has it been for a very long time. It's just the oldest.

>>54250411
Its was still played longer then any modern game, and that makes it more traditional.

Reminds me of Seigeball

For TTRPG's, unless the miniatures and 3d dice is a real pull, I'd say no. It's a lot of extra fuss for not that much tangible benefit, so I'd stick with online tabletops like roll20 or pure text clients like IRC.

That being said, tabletop simulator is fucking amazing for board games. Simpler games work best, but you can play almost anything in it, and it works really damn well. It's the best experience you can get if you can't meet up with friends around a real table. I use it to play board games with friends all over the world, using voice chat and such, and it's amazingly good fun.

>>54250283
its pretty good but you have to sift through a lot of shit on the steam workshop to find stuff that doesnt blow ass. me and some friends use it to play games over the internet since we no longer live in the same state

>>54250125
roll the dice with your dick?

Do you catan?

A manta strike is not a deep strike. Stop thinking it is.

When you manta strike your suits, with drones, you do 'set up' those suits on the battlefield, therefore drones 'set up' with the battlesuits.

I mispoke when I said deepstrike. I merely meant that TECHNICALLY it states they are set up in a Manta Hold, though my side of the argument says it is flavor text, not instructions. Other side argues that since it DOES say specifically Set Up that drones get deployed there, and do not have Manta Strike so they just do nothing. Mostly looking for confirmation of what I believed, since it wasn't mentioned in the Errata and I have seen little to none on forums.

This is rules lawyering on the most ridiculous level. It's so obvious that the drones come in with the suits, it's not even funny. It's how every battrep, especially from GW, does it. There is no discussion.

YOU'RE GOING BACK TO MAJULA

Map represents the site of the adventure. Such site must be coherent to the adventure.
Pre made are great as inspiration.

I like taking a blank map and populating it myself.

Occasionally full modules are ok as a way to shake things up, but usually they're very poorly written, too linear, or only have a few good ideas worth stealing.

The OP map is pretty neat, but it seems like the top half is drawn intentionally to create series of separate encounters, rather than following an independent logic... who needs dozens of a identical square rooms that are only connected one to the next?

>>54249703
Custom, because I cannot stand pre-made settings and the problems they generate.
