Culexus temple.

There are known to be female Culexus, and they're not as numerous as the Sisters of Silence.

>what about the male blanks? What happens to them?
They end up on 40kChan screaming about how normies ruin everything.

What's the best way orks have to deal with fliers? I'm wondering whether just sending stormboyz up there with a power klaw nob would be a good idea.

Just shoot the air with choppas

If you kill the air the enemy cannot fly through it

The Grognard Files is quite enjoyable. A couple of UK guys just reminiscing on Old School RPGs, games, memorabilia, and the old White Dwarf Magazines back when GW had overseas rights for D&D.

The Film Reroll is amazing. They play movie premises as GURPS adventures, and there's probably not any better pitch for the system.

I like the official D&D podcast's "Lore You Should Know" segments, so I'll usually listen through to that and either cut it or leave it on for background noise.

As for good non-tabletop stuff, I like the Super Best Friendcast and Rooster Teeth's Off Topic podcast (though the video form of that one on YouTube is a lot better, a lot of the time there's stuff you don't get without a visual element).
A lot of good banter and friendly shit-talking in those.

Citation Needed/The Technical Difficulties. It's very British in the both good and bad ways, but essentially it's one guy reading a random Wikipedia article and the other three trying to guess stuff about it (Citation Needed)/one guy reading old Trivial Pursuit card answers and the others trying to guess the questions (Technical Difficulties). I find it hilarious, but it's very silly and British. Also technically /tg/.

I also listen to The Great War as a podcast even though they're supposed to be episodes, really, it's quite useful, especially given I've got a thing for WW1.

The dichotomy is dumb. Like anything else in the system, you need both- The rules and the fluff.

You should offer to GM. Then you wouldn't need to come here and bitch.

>>53678833
And now thanks to your intervention the DM is enlightened and has become a better DM because of it.

And they both lived happily ever after.

Why is that ?

>>53678751
Simple, straight foreward, easy to understand, and allows for creativity. It's essentially a big ass toolbox, even if what you're running isn't magic related.

I want to know how much Starfinder is going to combine magic and tech.

What sort of governments will we see in the Pact Worlds? Still monarchies or will the uplift to the future mean more democracies and maybe even some more interesting divergent like ancaps or commies?

Screaming with pleasure? Join in the fun.

This happens all too often

Congratulations, breaking the rules because you thought you could get away with it immediately bit you in the ass.

Want a statue or something?

You have eyes, so why not start off by sharing your opinion? Or will our opinion be your opinion?

Isn't 40k just played on a big flat featureless table?

>>53676224
If that's all you've ever seen on 40k tables, then I am sure glad I don't play where you do.

>>53676224
Had a tourney in my lgs once, it was a series of battles on different random worlds, one of them was big and featureless, but it was always night

>In a fight
Yes, naked and out of practice they may be, they are still custodes
>in a Homoeroticism contest
No. Pillar men have them beat as the are able to show their faces and give creepily seductive facial expressions.

>>53674244
Depends. Could psychic powers or Emperor's miracles replicate the power of Ripple?

>>53674322
What about in a children's card game?

I feel like you can find just as much of one in the other; for example, dragons in Chinese mythology often represent natural disasters that pose a threat to human civilization, and the Japanese movie Princess Mononoke is essentially a founding myth of the Japanese people and its rife with civilization vs nature themes.

Like you said, a lot of the more allegoric nature of western myth was horrendously distorted by christianity, but even then it's often fairly easy to find interpretations that reconstruct the supposedly missing subtext (or point out that it remained there the whole time, as subtext is wont to do).

I don't want to sound like I'm refuting your whole premise, but I do think it's important, even while trying to point out differences, to acknowledge how much the two actually have in common.

Western stories tend to deal with good conquering and wiping out evil.
Eastern stories tend to be about balancing everything, light and dark need to be in balance and such. Eastern stories also tend to be cyclical and imply that everything will happen again in the future and that the same conflict or event occurred in the past where as western stories tend to have a definite end due to evil being destroyed.

No problem, I made this thread to discuss the subject, if what I said was wrong then I want to be corrected. I want my settings to be accurate and true to the sources they draw from.

That said I also want to see how western fantasy is suppose to be rather than how it is depicted in modern pop culture. From a modern perspective it seems that the only thing holding western fantasy together is the terminology. Elves, dwarfs, hobbits, wizards, fairies(faeries?), and other such terms seem to be the only really consistent thing tying them together. It just makes me wonder if this is because of Lord of the Rings or because that was how Anglo, Nordic and Germanic folklore was.

>2.Night Lords "We have come for you!" or "Ave Dominus Nox!"

The big problem is that is fucked Latin. If only they used the real latin, I would already have dropped thousands of night lords, but im too autistic to let it pass.

It should be
>Ave Dominus Noctis

I would explain it in detail but looking back on it makes me frustrated. Short story it was a sci fi setting, the players decided to become space faring murderhobos while at the same time promising their homesick crew they would get the home and never even coming up with an inkling of a plan to do so. It came to a point where I could pettily push back against my hobomurder players or end the campaign and I choose the latter.

>>53673199
You have awesome players
That is an awesome story
