Commander Farsight decides to go raid a craftworld for phat loot because the local eldars have been poking into his sector of space a bit too much for his liking.

The eldars and completely at fault and they in turn only wanted to get more territory

1: Tau try to bring an Exodite world into the greater good. A Craftworld/Kabal/Harlequin Troupe decide they aren't gonna stand for that patronizing shit and go to fuck them up. Perhaps after the Tau's attempts lead to conflict, or after an Eldar psyker predicts dire consequences.

2: An Eldar Craftworld follows an aeons old flightpath into an area of space which is now under Tau control. Tau freak out at the near-unstoppable ship, Eldar freak out at the incredible array of weapons pointed at them wher there should have been empty space, shit kicks off.

3: Dark Eldar have been raiding Tau settlements and taking slaves. Tau, correctly or incorrectly, have come to the conclusion that [insert your Eldar here] are colluding with the Deldar and declare war.

4: A critical sector is both a defensive/logistic cornerstone for the Tau and a vital repository of Spirit Stones for the Eldar. Negotiations break down as it becomes clear that neither faction can afford to compromise over access.

Any one of this things could spiral into a full fledged military campaign/s. It's pretty easy to come up with reasons if you just treat the Tau and the Eldar as the fallible and ultimately selfish factions they should be.

Tau expansion sphere expands to maiden world, starts doing their thing, making dome huts and robots. Exodites fight robots with dinoknights, exodite faction defects to greater good because of some prophecy of doooooom that could be averted, traditional exoidtes start loosing and collect call craftworld X, insane clown posse shows up, dark elder and corsairs show up to be assholes and get booty, fighting attracts/unleashes some annnncient evil, the prophesied doom was the exodite defection because elder suck at prophecy and shoot themselves in the dick, entire planet dies in the war, many losses, tau still confused about warp travel puberty.

First for fast growing black tax crop getting into modeling even though they can't manage a bloody rattler

Well obviously pakis are rich

So, since the anons in the last thread were a bunch of unhelpful chaos cultist, i'm reporting this. I read trough manual and FAQ several times but could not find much helpful.

>Ok, /tg/ a couple questions on deployment and transports:

>If you could point me toward a rule/FAQ reference in the answers it would be great

1) "Tactical reserve" rule for matched play: do unit embarked in transport deployed normally count as being "on the battlefield", allowing more reserve units?

1b) On a similar note, if a transport is allowed to be in reserve, do units embarked in it count as being in reserve as well for the rule?

2) Transports and deployment: when you deploy your units "one at a time", do you independently use a "turn" to deploy the transport and its passengers or you use one for the transport and one for each embarked unit?

3) Combat squads: I am not 100% sure on how to interpret the combat squad rule, does it take 1 or two "turns" to deploy 10 tacticals split into combat squads?

because "muh gunz", it's hard to balance the damage values when mixing archaic and modern/futuristic weapons, and/or because we archeryfags can be annoying fucks sometimes.

>>54217191
Mostly because videogames, movies, and pop culture tend to portray bows as these instant kill death weapons you can silently and immediately slay anyone with, or portray them with rediculous strength effect that can pin people to walls.

While bows and guns DID coexist for a long long long time, putting them beside modern weapons is dumb

>>54217191
Draw time, low capacity, and much harder to conceal than most guns. Generally most modern/sci fi fighting takes place in close range to mid range, where pretty much any gun will beat a bow.

They do have advantages though. Id play up the fact that they are much easier to get than a suppressor, and even guns in general. Also having a bow is much more inconspicuous than any gun. Also arrows are not only reusable, but different arrow types can be switched out on the fly, Green Arrow style

Still waiting for the next book in the series.

I'd love to see an Enterprise Fish mysteriously dissapear in the Pacific though...

tell me about how it plays, or link a download or something

Is it a RPG for ants?!?

I'm mostly interested because they recently acquired the rights for Judge Dredd. Do you think it's a good fit for the future's toughest law man?

who the fuck keeps drawing these?

There needs to be a sign somewhere that says chaos isn't random.

It is, though.

Precursor ruins, built a couple thousand years ago by the civilization that terraformed the moons of a gas giant that the game takes place on. The people of these worlds don't know this, they just know that these ruins are extremely old and extremely advanced.

"Adventurer" isn't really an occupation in my campaign setting. The people who gear up to fight monsters and find treasure are explorers or archaeologists, and it's considered a scholarly pursuit dedicated to the gathering of ancient technology and understanding what the precursors built and why they built it. Those ruins have been unattended for 3,000+ years, so they could have become monster nests in that time, or their security measures (clockwork automatons and traps) could still be active.

There are still some old-school dungeons carved out of stone and full of traps and undead and made as tombs or treasure vaults, but the main focus is precursor ruins.

>>54216466
They are either monster lairs or large cave systems serving as the lairs of multiple monsters.
Tombs are relatively common too, but only in civilized lands.

Well... shit.

branches moving and touching the PCs backs as they walk, they look back and the trees look completely normal.

something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njTmKCPEXwY

would be pretty cool
additionally hearing knocks of wood on the trees, having branches of trees falling on PCs heads, etc

Make the forest inhabited with Fey like dryads and pixies that interpret themselves as daughters of the forest. Make no mention of them at all for like the first couple sessions to lull the party into thinking they're utterly alone, then spring one of them on 'em, making it seem like a friend at first. But of course, Fey are totally amoral, so shit goes down.

I mean, you could refluff Dive into the Sky if you really want to, but it's unfinished and it's doubtful that's what you're looking for.
If you go over to the Ace Combat General on /vg/ and lurk for a while, I seem to recall someone there set up some kind of homebrew that he runs through IRC. You might be able to find the channel there. No guarantees.

Air war or Check Your Six Jet Age are some of the more popular rules.

I recommend 1/600 aircraft from tumbling dice - they are cheap and make pretty much everything you'll need.

but it clearly is what the average person wants otherwise there wouldn't be so many threads about it. not everyone wants to roleplay as a spell-flinger

I know you put a lot of work into your bait, anon-kun, but WFRP 2e already solved this problem ages ago with thematic magic and a risk-reward system that encourages smart use of powerful magic.

Hell, if you must use DnD, the old school editions never had this problem at all, since almost any powerful spell could be interrupted (necessitating teamwork), and wizards had a slower XP progression. This resulted in martial who were capable generalists and important shieldwalls, with casters having much needed specialized and powerful magic.

tl;dr back to the Paizo forums, sweetie, the village misses its idiot.

Just base the war effort on the scale of the party success.

Did they come through with one or two minor wounds and huge ego boosts? ARmy did too. If they did prep-work beyond the war sequence, factor in how clever and thorough it was. Scale it to the relative force strengths involved - a city state vs an empire with the party giving and rolling 100% is still going to be a messy fight. The city state will be a ruin, even though they won.

>>54214822

I have a set of rules that let me move large groups of pieces individually but allows me to make a single attack roll for them and assign them a single defense stat/health bar. If you properly size the type of piece used in the groups result is a pretty cinematic clash of armies where players still have full freedom to play normally and can still make huge, meaningful plays.

>>54214822
If there are no rules for it in the system, then just narratively.
