Frogs are the enemy and must be killed ON SIGHT!

>>54264161
They should be sworn enemies who go on huge, in depth rants about how the other is subamphibian garbage, inferior yet also conspiring to oppress the true master amphibian race, and so on and so forth

The same goes for snails and slugs

There's no taxonomical difference between frogs and toads.

>>54262361
The first one implies a high-magic setting and I'm no fan of those.

>The evil overlord is immortal - he was killed over and over again, and always seems to return in a few hours
>Turns out, the overlord is not even human. Or sentient.
>It's a Helmed Horror, controlled by his unassuming court bard, the true mastermind behind the empire.

Best sex I ever had.

>>54262290
Yes.

>what is their plan to stop it?

Ignore.

According to the Emperor, ignorance is the best weapon against Chaos.

>>54262290
All the Tau seem to know about it is that there's something out there, the exact nature of which is unknown. The fact that the Ethereals are actually insistent that there is no magic of any sort out there seems to indicate that the Ethereals at the very least know that there is something completely beyond them out there.

You know, like every other faction.

>>54262290
not sure how many of them know what chaos is exactly, but most of them just consider demons to be big aliens with super powers

their plan is to shoot them until they die, using riptides

their plan seemed to worked, but demons remained threatening, then 8e made their future uncertain as riptides began to suck

>>54262103
Body slam a Kobold of a 20ft cliff. It was pretty damn epic.

Probably the time I played as a hardcore lawful good paladin

>On quest to save a lord's small children from the wilderness.
>Lord sends along his steward to assist the group, a powerful sorceress and trusted friend.
>hike for a while and set up camp.
>steward reveals a plan to retrieve the children and then hold them for ransom to increase the payment for the quest.
>Other members of the party are okay with it.
>i say nothing and go into the forest to retrieve more firewood, roll poorly and spend an exorbitant amount of time doing so.
>finally get back and start piling the firewood onto the campfire as everyone else is getting ready to leave.
>Everyone is asking me what I'm doing
>say "burning the witch"
>throw sorceress into fire and kill her with a perfectly timed crit.

later on it turns out the children were being escorted by a soldier of the king's who incidentally had the same idea as the sorceress to hold the children for ransom (dm likes giving second chances).

Everyone groaned in unison as I said i went to collect firewood.

A threw a lich down a bottomless pit once.

I also threw the barbarian off a mountain.

God I almost wish he would launch a missle at someone

the resulting world war (by which I mean, the world at war with NK) would be as bloody as it would be hilarious and brief

Once had a magic plastic fork that did 20d8.

The DM lost a bet to me, so I got the fork.

>>54261001
>hilarious and brief
Indeed. But after NK wins would the current Kim be Eternal President of the World?
Either way, I hope your North Korean is up to date, m8.

Sounds pretty awesome.

Sounds pretty shitty.

Not enough bait, better luck next time.

Because that's what Lancelot did, and he's the OG knight.

>>54258479
Because there's only so much you can do with your errant boys and man needs other outlets.

Yeah, but that was seen as one of his greatest sins/failures, not something to look up to

Mages. For some reason, if used like in their own supplements, they always win

So, in VtM: Bloodlines, there's a quest where you have to retrieve werewolf blood. Doesn't that break the lore pretty heavily? To the extent of my knowledge, werewolf blood, pretty much any part of their body, really, is completely indistinguishable from human. Even if they get their arm cut off while transformed, it would change back to human once it left the body. And splats don't cover for other splats, I'm pretty sure.

>>54255426
It is. Likely, LaCroix just exploited your naivety and hoped you would get in trouble

The idea of ancient elder gods who don't follow Euclidean geometry doesn't work on modern people. No one's scared by that. Evil tentacles coming out of a black void doesn't scare anyone. Body horror still works, though, and really disgusting sea creatures will still scare people.

>>54255104
>due to the prevalence of technology
If that's what you think the problem with modern Lovecraft is, then you have no idea why Lovecraft was scary in the first place. Go back and do your research on the era, then re-read the most popular stories. Your answer can be found there.

>>54255104
Go all Monsters are Due on Maple Street on them. Things just stop working, more or less at random. All that technology they depend upon breaks. Attempts to contact the outside to help either don't work or don't solve the underlying problems, which start and stop for no discernible pattern. People start seeing things out of the corner of their eyes, and there are little subtle clues that maybe someone else within close reach are to blame.

Make sure they have lots of things that can easily be converted into melee weapons.

I agree, some creature types in magic are weird. Why is this guy an elf and not a dinosaur?

Why do niggers have the "human" subtype?

Shouldn't their subtype be "ape" instead?

As you wish.

Redjack knew exactly what he was doing.

A sort of synopsis would be helpful for those unfamiliar. From the picture alone I think it's some kind of art deco cyberpunk game.

>>54240193

Fate with heavy alterations, the way abilities slot together reminds me of traits. The way the things steal stuff makes me think they're stealing traits

>>54240193

It's difficult. The best I think you could do is taking a lot of inspiration from it, but doing your own thing with the concepts.

Transistor isn't an adventure happy setting, unless you're doing some very heavy political/social thing in Cloudbank. The actual events of the game are a very singular, unique event focused around a small, specific group of people. They don't naturally lead into a collaborative RPG experience.

if you're just just starting out, can I assume these are just all the models you have or them plus a few on your buylist? If so, I'd suggest taking a look at Legion's Battle College page (http://battlecollege.org/index.php/Legion_of_Everblight) for general advice on starting out. It's not great, since it's just written and edited by us and we're awful, but it's good for a general gist of what you want to do just starting out.

Regarding the list: you don't typically want to be running many guns with Thag2, who's all about getting his guys into melee and wrecking face. I'd drop the Ravagore for a Sycthean (from the same kit, always magnetize your multikits) or the shredders for a Raek, or both.

I'd also advise looking into the Theme forces for Legion, especially Oracles of Annihilation, which rewards you for taking a bunch of beasts by giving you your support pieces for free and giving one unit a turn Apparition (which lets it teleport 2" at the start of your turn), however it heavily restricts your unit choices, such as not permitting the Hellmouth.

I was just thinking, what about a 50 point meme list with thagrosh, blightbringer and an archangel?

WW3 happens in 1950, the superheros are largely irrelevant next to the 6 million man strength of the red army and generaly neutralize each other anyway.
The sovets hold most of Europe but suffer major losses to Macarthur and his fee Chinese alies in the neglected Far East theater. The British hold on to North Africa mostly due to the Sovets long supply lines and lack of Naval support, ironicaly as the world suffers the British Empire is saved by the common thereat of the Comunest hords. It would be an interesting alternat history if we just left out the super heros.

>>54205659
>the superheros are largely irrelevant next to the 6 million man strength of the red army
I assume they still have the ability to single handedly destroy a small city. Besides tactical nuclear weapons and strategic nuclear weapons were treated differently by the Americans and Soviets. Both fully intended to make widespread usage of tactical nuclear weapons in a war without escalating to strategic nuclear weapons. The real reason WW3 never broke out isn't because nukes would kill us all the moment a lost American soldier stumbled into East Germany, it was because both sides knew that even if they could win WW3 (which was a big if for both sides) their losses would be tremendous either way.

>>54205068
Nuclear disarmament talks now involve taking superheroes into the desert and killing them, and leaving their dismembered corpses out for satellites to view, even as the buzzards tear flesh from bone.
The anti-nuke lobby are basically a lynch mob.
Your nuclear weapons have a conscience, and refuse to let themselves be dropped on innocent countries.
