So why are these guys basically ignored? Outside of the now-defunct RPG and a few BL books, they rarely ever come up despite being a part of 40k since the game's inception. In fact, has there ever been a BL book with a Rogue Trader focus?
Why is GW ignoring one of the most compelling parts of their fluff?
>>54306946
They aren't space marines, thats why.
>>54306946
Because colourful, morally ambiguous, larger than life adventurers aren't part of GW's current cheerless ''''Nobledark'''' vision for 40k.
>>54306946
Because their stories are always about one man and 40k tends to focus on events or at least people with more power that can affect more than a single privateer.
I mean there's nothing stopping GW make a pirate themed character for Orks, a Rogue Trader and Duke Slisscus model and some other xenos and make a global campaign to sell those minis but I dont think it'll happen.
They are just another vestige of older times, when Gygax didn't want his players to play as evil races, so contrived ways to get the next best thing were made up.
We don't live in the 70s anymore, this is a post-Warcraft age. Non-evil orcs are commonplace, and sympathetic portayals exist even in the works derived from Lord of the Rings. So how come they are not a PHB race, when half-orcs are? A "race" that always relies on either a rape backstory, or a "child of two worlds" cliche?
I mean, look at drow. Unlike orcs, drow are a unitary society of evil bastards, and even THEY are a PHB race nowadays. Is it really such a stretch to imagine a few clans of good or neutral orcs existing here and there?
tl;dr - half-orcs don't deserve to be a PHB race, and orcs do.
Agree 100%.
Half-orcs implies racemixing, and that should never be acceptable.

STEP 1 Go to the last thread if you haven't looked at it. there is lots of stuff, including filled requests directly posted to the board. http://boards.4chan.org/tg/thread/54190839#top
Files posted directly to 4chan are not added to Da Archive, so go grab them now.
STEP 4 Get comfortable and browse through the blasted thing. It is barely 150 pages of 10 point type. If you skim over the Personal Collections without looking you will miss 7,000 pdfs.
STEP 7 If you want MORE, the previous threads are all archived in here:
http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/search/subject/PDF%20share/
There are other 4chan archives somewhere as well.
7chan might also be able to help.

(*silly name not required)
The first 5 pages of Da Archive have the most of the older ‘un -maintained’ troves.
The best thing is to go through them all soon and get what pdfs interest you.
I think specific smaller curated troves are easier to maintain than huge Collections.
Check out Da Curated Archive to see what's in it.
Pick a game or small publisher you like that’s not too big and complete it as best you can easily.
Upload the pdfs somewhere. Hunt for and request the missing things. If it gets taken down, put it up again later. Using indirect links seems to work for Mageguru.
These are some Possible Candidates, based on modest size and perceived popularity.

Introduce one to the Lake of Black Tears.
Who is best girl in Magic and why isn't it Nahiri?
>>54341163
>why isnt it nahiri
For obvious reasons
>>54341163
It isn't Nahiri because if Magic ever plans to make her a "hero" down the line they'll have to retcon Innistrad 2 to have her been mind controlled or something.
Old Nissa was interesting. I didn't like Liliana in Agents of Artifice, but haven't read other stories with her. The Magic books I've read otherwise didn't have many good females besides Jhora, which was a fun muscle wizard.
Better questions:
Which Magic girl has the best porn and (weirdly) why is is usually Ink-Eyes?
Which Magic boy is best boy and why is it Sorin because he's 100% "Nothing Personal" and yet he deflects all the hate to Jace?
>>54341163
I mean, murdering a huge fraction of Innistrad's innocents (and also most of the other people) by siccing the Eldrazi on them because one (1) vampire was a dick is pretty bad, at least by my standards.

Buy a BoP box, trade characters and talons for more marines, use the rest to buy some tanks and dreads.
How does it work? Or, more precisely - how SHOULD it work?
I asked /b/ and /tv/ and they were useless and kinda disappointing, respectively.
So, vampires are essentially parasitic in nature, surviving by infecting new hosts, and occasionally granting said host some random power. And they originate in Europe, while werewolves are native to America and simply reproduce - basically a subspecies of humans. And they have their own type of maigc (transformation, telepathy and something else I maybe forget).
Question - how are these powers determined - if random, then the same (or highly similar) powers should occasionally crop up. If predetermined, then by what - a higher being?; a limited pool of powers? And if they are limited, won't they eventually run out?
And the deepest question of them all - how does imprinting work? Jacob in the third movie (before Bella is prego) describes to her his inexplicable desire to protect her and be her everything - basically, he's imprinted on her. But it's not her, as revealed later, but her child. And at this point - unborn, unfertilized egg.
So what I'm really asking is - Can Jacob's dick see into the future? and how does that work into the werewolf magic system? (but the other questions are also serious, just not so sexy)
This place is not for you.

Why are western settings so afraid of anachronisms? There's always this apparent need for things to be an almost carbon copy of a given time period or place.
>>54337676
>western settings
If it's not familiar to a subset of an audience, it will not sell, and profit is the measure of success for western products.

Whatever you say anon

"Western settings" is a pretty broad spectrum, and your complaint seems kind of baseless

I plan to make not-shit rations in WoW when it comes out, my main issue will be preservation. There's an items in Legion described as 'mana-wrapped to preserve freshness' which means its possible with magic.
Do you think this is possible with the enchanting profession or only for mages?
Also Jumpers!
What is your travel meal? How do you handle the care and management of food on the go?
I'm making this post to inform everyone that my laptop was hit by the perfect storm last night, so there might be some delays on my work as I try and make sure everything's good.
Good news is it still works for now; bad news is there's minor distortion on the screen and it might just break down later.
On the bright side, I got my second Arturia from the summoning tickets golden boy is giving out, so I think my luck is balanced for now.
jumpers, how do you do necromancy?
Do you dress up your servants, or embrace the skeletal look?
I’m a fairly new DM and one of the Players decided to play a Bard. He has ridiculous high Charisma and basically passes every check without problems. If he fails, or is otherwise unable to convince the opponent, he just casts suggestion or something similar. So he can basically walk through the game doing everything he likes without consequences. That more or less obliterates the story and everyone else feels kind of useless. If I up the DC for char checks, no one will be able to pass them, except him which will lead to him doing all the talking and everyone else just standing awkwardly in the background. So you can see the problem I have here. How do you counter Op, borderline broken characters without making everyone else useless? BTW, he multiclassed as a cleric and has a AC of 18 or something. Is going to up that even further the next couple of sessions.
>Bard
>OP
>AC 18
>Good
HahahahahaahAHAHAHAHA MUAHAHAHAAH
I needed that
They're good, he actually commited mechanical senpukky by multiclassing into cleric, so he's done. Your real problem is full casters, those are brutally OP
>>54336336
add situational modifiers to the encounters, if he's trying to talk someone who is paid by the bbeg then it SHOULD be several degrees harder for the party to just talk him over to their side. If they're trying to talk the villian or some npc that literally hates their guts then the odd of them succeeding should be nigh on impossible. You can also put time constraints on them, if they're trying to make someone who is aggressive more friendly say it takes them like 10 minutes or something. Now if people start actually role playing you can just go with it, especially if they have really good in character points. You can give them a bonus, or just get rid of the checks all together if they come up with really good reasons.
How much is his Cha and his bonus to diplomacy? level of the group?
