I remember posters on /tg/ getting unreasonably upset over the state of their lives because there's an attractive female holding a Tolkien book in your OP image.

Oh, wait, that's still ten minutes from now.

>>53655726
No, I don't.

>>53655986
I'm mostly irritated on how badly that one image is spliced in

"Broken" doesn't fit. All the others imply that the level of craftsmanship determines the quality, while even a masterpiece can break.

>>53655361
Are they merely descriptions, or do they have mechanical implications?

>>53655398
Also this. Broken should be appended to any of the other descriptors. The latent potential in an unmended masterwork weapon is likely greater than in a broken crude weapon. You could of course use other words to describe the current condition of a weapon, independent of its manufactured quality. Polished, rusted, battered, bloodied come to mind right away.

>>53655549
Yes.

Each quality increases/decreases the weapon power. I'm adding it to break the standard of 'all shortswords are the same'.

If you have additional qualities too I'm interested.

Fan of the white scars much. I read white scars I thought it to was okay, but I wasn't fussed on jaghatai khan as a primarch. Thanks though

But the Third Kingdom was betrayed. The Endwar was begun before the Seven Seals were broken and humanity, still ill-prepared for the Apocalypse, was obliterated. In the ensuing conflict it was Hell that ultimately triumphed over Heaven, some say thanks to the direct intervention of the Horseman War. Now the Earth is the Destroyer’s Kingdom and home to the demons of hell, monstrous creatures of the Abyss, and other, stranger beings. Heaven’s army, the Hellguard, who were exiled from the White City for their part in the Endwar, continue their doomed crusade, hoping that the last of the White City’s shame might die with them. And, in the ruins of the Earth, the last, desperate humans cling to survival on the periphery, knowing that Man will not see out another century.

The Apocalypse touches the realms far beyond earth: The Kingdom of the Dead is overrun by billions of lost souls but suffers under a ruler who cares little for his subjects; The Forge Lands teeter on the brink of destruction, threatened by the engulfing power of the Abyss beyond and unholy Corruption within; and from the Shadows ancient beasts and mad lords emerge to exploit the chaos. At the centre of creation The Charred Council sees all; it still sends forth its most fearsome agents to find those responsible for destroying the Balance and punish them, be they Sons of Man, Lords of Heaven, or the Dregs of Hell. Perhaps the Horseman still stand with them, perhaps they do not. Few would dare ask, even if they knew where to find them...

>Set after The End War
>Other Humans survived The End War like The Hunter, others could have made deals with different Demons (including Vulgrim, Samiel or the Chosen), Angels (like Uriel), or one of the many Old Ones (like Ostegoth or Ulthane), allowing Heroic Human characters.
>All the Horsemen appeared during the end war and were accused of starting it early. Stay have since gone on the run to prove their innocence and may have even split up to cover more leads / make harder to track.

The Charred Council are recruiting capable and power warriors from across the realms, Angel, Demon, Old One, Undead.

DELET THIS

No, really.

I need your help.

A friend says you DONT have to pay point values for wargear (he says "does not include wargear" only accounts special weapons etc.).

How the fuck do I make it clear to him that you HAVE to pay for standard wargear?

Actual evidence please.

>>53654833
Wargear like Bolters for marines are free. Just like every edition.

Tacked on stuff, like plasma rifles, still cost points.

Power levels are where everything is free.

>Hey. I tried something like this in the CYOA thread and there was enough interest in forming teams and shit as characters I decided to make this into an entire thread on its own. Basically you use the Worm CYOA to make yourself a superhero and join a team. The goal of this thread is not to build super OP characters, but build interesting characters who would work together in teams. Compared to the regular CYOA this is a low-power game. The CYOA itself is super easy to break, so there’s a few rules to go along with it to maintain the theme of the thread, keep things balanced and prevent this thread from turning into a race to make the most OP character possible.

>The setting itself is Metropolis, a typical extra-large New York sandbox rip-off. Even though it’s all the same setting you can pick Gestation, the Golden Age or Worthless Opponent as your scenario, but it won’t mean much more than a difference in starting points. Canon characters – Contessa, Skitter, Eidolon, Glaistig Uaine, etc – don’t exist in Metropolis. Every organisation mentioned in the CYOA still exists, but with none of the canon characters in it and they are based out of Metropolis. The Protectorate and the Wards still exist, as does the PRT. The Guild is not Canadian. The Undersiders are pre-Taylor heisters. The ABB and E88 are locked in a turf war and the Merchants sell drugs to homeless people. S9 exists and you can be in it, but you’ll probably end up with a kill order on you.

>Cauldron still exists and is still a secret organisation that wants to manufacture more parahumans and take control of as many parahuman organisations as possible in preparation for fighting the Entities. Conspirators are active members of Cauldron and still get access to those sweet, sweet Cauldron powers. If you have a dead shard and you aren’t a case 53, you either stole from Cauldron or secretly work for them. If you work for them, your job is to get into a position of power within your organisation to further cauldron’s reach. If you stole from them expect Conspirators to hunt you down – or heroes working for Cauldron.

>The Birdcage exists. It is not in Metropolis, and unless stated is exactly the same as in canon – a giant guardless prison run by AIs with no way out. If you are a villain and you get caught three times or you get caught after doing something horrific you end up here til it’s time to fight the entities.

>1) Duplicate powers don’t stack. Two people with power fluctuation standing next to each other would not buff each other’s power fluctuations. This is to stop the most OP builds.
>2) You can only spend a maximum of 15 Shard points on powers. This includes the 3S it takes to upgrade a power to its second trigger. This rule is in place to stop people building characters with a million high S powers (vigilantes I’m looking at you) or who are otherwise obscenely broken – Worm parahumans are closer to being x-men than justice leaguers in power level. It also stops everyone from taking a million flaws to get ridiculous powers. We can’t all be vagrants who got kidnapped and tortured by S9 and Ziz. Conspirators are the exception to this rule – they can spend up to 20 points on powers (perks of being cauldron).

>3) No Abaddon shards or Negentropy. No-one has Abaddon shards in canon Worm and this is a low power game anyway. Negentropy is a no go because the entities lose all incentive to hand out powers if they’ve developed immortality. If you’re upset because “muh immortality” keep in mind as a parahuman you’re unlikely to live for much longer than a decade anyway (life in spandex is violent and short).
>4) No more than 3 Endbringers at a time. First come first served, and you play like canon Endbringers – you periodically show up to wreck everybody’s shit.
>5) I’m thinking of making this into a proper RP if I can find a decent place to host it. No drop-ins or gifts – let’s keep it in-character.

>A few final notes:

>Case 53 flaw x1 = you are a human with a few extra parts, like elf ears, feathers in your hair, weird pupils/irises/sclera, extra fingers etc. Think Canary from canon.

>Case 53 Flaw x2 = you are still recognisably humanoid, but not as a “human”. Think Gully or Weld from canon – you genuinely look like a monster and ordinary humans might be nervous or quick to judge you.

>Case 53 x3 = you are no longer recognisable as human. Think Garotte or Mantellum from canon. People who see you will think you’re a monster and may run screaming from you.

>Having a kill order on you means you did something truly horrific or awful, or have repeatedly shown yourself to be too dangerous to be safely apprehended by the authorities. In short, you’ve killed people and as a result there's a fuckhueg bounty on you, which anyone - from heroes to sinister villains to rule-breaking vigilantes to every yahoo with a gun - can collect on, with no questions asked an no attempts to arrest them. They just stroll into Protectorate HQ, drop off your severed head, get given their money and walk out, even if they're a wanted felon.

Yeah, pass.

No, and I kick anyone out of the game who even says the words "GM bribe". Even as a joke it changes the tone of the whole session.

Allthough i think it's silly, my inner capitalist approves.

>>53649450
I GM for enjoyment.
The players paying for my share of the food is the most I'd accept.
And even then I'd never ask them to.

Though I would appreciate them putting a bit more effort in and getting more involved with the game.

Shadowrun is OK I guess. It's not too bad. The layout of the books isn't super great, though.

Apocalypse World and Tokyo Nova.

>>53646200
Look up Brutal Game's Corporations. It's a fairly simplistic games system and has a post-cyberpunk dystopian setting. You play highly enhanced agents of the various mega-corps vying for control of the world, struggling against the UIG (united international government, a global authority formed out of the remnant of the world governments not absorbed by the mega-corps to bring the corps to heel and end their corporate war. It's not perfect melee is a bit overpowered, but it's much more streamlined than something than Shadowrun and offers the players plenty of toys.

Well, there's one man and one woman. Through deduction you should be able to figure out which one's the demon spawn.

Anyone have experience as white with Queens Gambit declined?

Players under 1600 should limit themselves to e4 e5 openings, they're generally simpler and the pawn structures easier to understand unlike the Sicilian or somesuch.

If you want to speak about retarded special characters, can we please talk about Larry Chromium? Not only is he OP, he doesn't fit with the Wavach design or aesthetic at all. And he's written by a guy named Larry, who uses to call his OC Larry in his fanfiction.

I mean it's worse than >>53624157 and that guy literally went insane and shot up a schoolbus after he wrote the Red Moon book.
