>campaign comes to a close, player wants to invite GF to next one in the same world but asks we make it a bit more progressive because she's a bit more leftist than us, she doesn't like that the main LG Paladin order is all male
>politely decline, say someone else can run but I won't change the setting we've always gamed in
>guy with GF says he'll run

>send character concept, no reply
>just before campaign starts ask wtf is up
>"sorry anon, I told my GF what you said and she said she didn't really want you in the game, so we found another player, she said she's wanted to try D&D for ages. No hard feelings, right, you didn't really seem into this idea anyway from how you reacted."

Feels kinda bad to be kicked out of the group you started because you wouldn't retcon the setting you'd crafted for years just so someone's GF could play a ladyknight in an all male order.

That Guy/times your group betrayed you thread?

I'm really at my happiest in a game when shit is going to hell all around us and the team pulls together to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

This also happens almost every session in the fucking airship D&D campaign I'm in and its glorious. The amount of times are ship has been boarded or almost gone down and everything looked bleak for us to pull out a win by the skin of our teeth . . . glorious.

I want to hear some stories /tg/. And also I want to know what your opinion is of running an airship campaign with pathfinder rules.

Sup /tg/,

Can I get some recommendations for role playing systems that allow for deep, tactical combat? I'm thinking something comparable to a skirmish wargame except on a single-character RPG scale, with more options per character to make up for the fact that everyone only has one dude. A sci-fi setting would be preferred, but not necessary since I can always do some refluffing and houseruling to make it fit. I'm mostly just looking for a system that has combat with a decent level of tactical complexity which I can modify for a game I'm planning.

If the system has solid non-combat rules as well that'd be nice, but that's strictly optional for my purposes.

Picture not related.

Hello, I am making a homebrew race for some heavily-homebrewed minor system with my friends. The setting is heavy on sci-fi, magic and likely divine so there's room for a lot of things even though there's a distinct 40k/D&D flavor permeating the surface layer.

Anyway, I need help for some of the fluff of a race of stick figures. Yes, that's right, those noddlemen you see in ye olde flash animations from way back when. I've gotten the base concept down, they're basically humanity's attempt at joining the "has made a sentient race" bandwagon. They have very compressed, simplified physiologies and possess a lot of physical diversity (in contrast to the human's having cultural diversity). Appearances could range from basic cannon fodder black stickmen to DeviantArt pseudo-humans with colored hair and facial expressions. Roles range from target practice and cannon fodder to cheap artificial celebrities and mascots.

I wonder what else I can add to the basic notes so far, and I cannot come up with a name for them. I can't just call them Stick Figures, after all.

As you all know, a global campaign is going happen in the following months set in one of the systems of the Ultramar realm. It's primarily about Chaos vs Imperium as only the Imperium or Chaos get to win this campaign. Xenos faction cannot have their own victory. This is bullshit however the Xenos war efforts get to influence which side gets the advantage and who would ultimately win either Chaos or the Imperium.

So Xenos players gather up and lets discuss which side you want to win. Which side will be worthy of having your support. Imperium or Chaos?

Note : Imperial and Chaos player need not apply. This is a Xenos player safe place.

If your players approach you with plans to make gunpowder and early firearms, with the possibility to upgrade to modern firearms as the game continues, you have NO right to refuse them. Now, I know what you're going to say:

>B-b-b-but muh balance
>B-b-b-but mud medieval fantasy
>B-b-b-but mommy, loud noises make me scared

Shut up. You shouldn't be DMing. Your players are trying to make something interesting out of your generic, elf-loving fantasy, and you're throwing it back in their faces. You have NO right to be DMing - just give your notes to one of your players, they can do a better job than you can.

TL/DR, if you can't handle guns in fantasy settings, you shouldn't be a DM.

Hello /tg/

Can you provide me examples from fiction or history where a group of people, a collective or even a nation falls from grace?

>pic related

I'm playing an evil themed campaign with my group and we want to play our fall from grace just before starting the real deal. I am looking for inspiration.

Thanks in advance

I need some ideas on Rogue Trader entourage member. An ork.

But he is no ordinary ork. He is the Connoisseur of War. Here is the gist of it:

-High class of speaking, with typical ork quirks
-Got bored with classic WAAAGH of these days, and acquired high standards of fighting "No less than a zogging lot, if I am to indulge meself in da fight"
-Looks back at WAAAGH the Beast as "Good, times to be had" and Armageddon is a "Nice try, but lacks da spirit, and greater plan in my opinion"
-When he does fight, he mocks in true english fassion everyone present "Learn da proppa choppa technique, before you stand against me! Has da name of Warboss Le Fontierre "da Fencer", ring any bell ya git?! Who taught you power claw fightin', some grotz, or did your dignity didn't reach dat high a level, to ask dem yet?"
-Reads and writes orky poesy "SHUD I COMPARE THEE TO A DAKKA? THOU IZ MORE LOUDLY AND MORE SLUGGA"
-Wears pikelhaub and cyber monocle, that is also dakka gauge, though it has only two settings "NOT ENUFF" and "ENUFF" with "NEVER" scraped next to it.
-The best citation for him so far is this one "Dear governor-general, I am impressed by yer strategic cunnin' and eristic acumen, however I would like to point out, dat by claiming yer army haz "enuff dakka", as ye said so yerself, ye proved to be a rudimentary grot dat hazn't seen a WAAAGH in hiz life"

So... any ideas for background, or something?

How much would you pay for a 3d printed WarHound Titan?

I'm currently part way through printing a Lucious Pattern WarHound Titan for a new client.
I'm not a /tg/ fan and have absolutely no idea how to price this project.
So far i'm at around 118 hours into printing time because i;m printing this extremely slow at the best quality settings on my printer.

I also intend to tip the original designer around 25% of whatever profit i earn from this and any future prints of this design.

so yeah, if you wanted a WarHound kit 3d printed, how much would you be willing to pay?
