Where are all the cats in 40k anyway? Did they snort them all already?

Any updates on possibilities with the new WHFrpg publisher?

>What's the worst situation you/your players have been in and somehow survived?

alone on a lost world, abandoned by the voidship that brought us, at the start of a tyranid invasion, personally being hunted by a psychic flying hive tyrant on fire with fate points, while DH1 rank 6.

I don't see Rick Priestley there yet.

Given how heavily featured WH40k is on this chart, you'd think its creator would be there.

Probably somewhere high suffering, low deserving: no one deserves to see what he saw them do to his creation.

DEEPEST LORE

>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.

Is there any reason to have a "general" if threads die out before 300 posts successively

>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).

To start with, lets go over what we're making, so there's no confusion. We won't be making aramitama, nor are we making bosses. We are making the base template to be made INTO bosses.

Kamigakari's foes work on a system of stacking templates on top of a base. Aramitama-fication, and Boss-ification, as it were. These two things can stack, and its explicitly stated in the rules for NPC creation that they do.

So what we are making will be that base, which can be changed and altered later using the rest of the systems rules and talents.

Next up is the general outline of the creature.

This is the senses, reaction speech, etc. These are generally non-mechanically influencing. They determine more how a mononoke acts, rather than directly influencing how the act works.

The important ones are Size, Reaction, ID, Weakness, and Movement. Senses can be, if your group has a way to get around sight or sound.

Size determines a few things, like how many people you can engage simultaneously. Generally speaking, this will be size 2 for anything generally humanoid. Size 1 is for things below half a humans size, and 3 and up are increasingly large scales of BIG. As an example, an Oni would be size 3.

Reaction determines how quickly the mononoke attacks the party. Hostile will be immediate. Anything else is fine.

ID determines the DC for the check to find out anything about a creature. These should be lower for more common things, higher for more obscure things.

Weakness is one of the most important. A baseline mononoke almost always has 2 weaknesses. Think about these carefully and make sure they fit the creature.

Movement is what determines how a mononoke moves. Most probably walk, but some fly, and some swim.

Getting into the meat of it though, what you guys want to know about is how to STAT a mononoke. Not how to make it act.

So there's a few guidelines i've found.

First, a mononoke in general has 2 high stats, and 3 middling to low stats. For a level one mononoke, this will be around 5-8 for high, and anywhere from 1-4 for low. They do not have strength or agility, like PC's do, but rather just have the derived stats, like accuracy and evasion. As mononoke get higher, so do their stats, so don't go overboard with them to start with. The lower any one stat is, the more likely they will have a stat bordering 8.

Second, the Fixed values of a mononoke's stats are all exactly 7 higher than the base. This is around the average for rolling 2d6. Oddly, PC Godhunters get 8 on their fixed value's over their base stat.

Next is initiative. First, reading the stat. The normal number is the actual stat, and the number in parenthesis is their movement speed. Initiative seems to be one thats more type based than on a per mononoke basis, so compare to others in its field for a good value. Generally, the speed will be about 1/2 to 1/3 the mononoke's Initiative value.

Armor and Barrier will all be really low. Most mononoke do not have much armor or barrier, but make up for it in having large health pools comparatively to PC's. Most mononoke are Below 10 in these stats, and generally will only have one of them be high.

I'm working on multiple fantasy settings, which are more or less the same universe/setting but from different timeperiods or with alternative events happening.

The two first settings are fairly solid as far as worldbuilding goes, it's the third installments I have trouble figureing out and deciding...

Setting 1:
-humans live in scattered civilizations separate from one another
-monsters, beasts and non-humans dominate the lands
-in places non-humans rule over/enslave/toy with humans
-high magic, low tech
-occult practises, eugenics and ancient alien stuff used to create the supreme being/trigger transcendence/apotheosis
-humans in general have hostile relations with non-humans

Setting 2:
-fantasy ''Cold War'', the two human superpowers locked in a constant arms race, espionage, counter espionage and similar
-no all-out, total war, merely regional conflicts, crisis etc. usually involving non-humans as proxies for human agendas
-two human superpowers dominate the world, other races act as (unwilling) collaborators and protectorates
-manatech, airships/skyships, floating/flying fortresses etc.
-primitive firearms, manapowered not!power armour, trick weapons (from Bloodborne) etc.
-eldritch/cosmic powers and ''traditional'' magic mixed in as well

>I froze
>He hadn't noticed me yet
>Instead he was in conversation with another Phoenix.
>They were too far away for me to hear what they were saying, but it looked to me like the woman speaking to Shoji was quite agitated
>Well, speaking to Shoji will do that to just about anyone.
>I slipped around behind Shoji before they finished and found Kitsuki-san
>When I looked back the Phoenix woman had stormed away.
>Oi, Kistuki-san
>I kept my back to her and pointed, using my body to hide my gesture
>You know who that is?
>He let his gaze track over the room, not resting on any one person, before looking back to me
>Asako Yuie, head of the Phoenix delegation.
>I blinked
>Head? Can't imagine Shoji likes that.
>What? Shoji? You're father-in-law is here?!
>Yeah. Looks like he's still got the Clan fooled as to whose fault everything is.
>Ishigaki-san...Shoji is NOT a part of the Phoenix delegation.
>If he is here, then he is here for his own reasons.
>...
>Kitsuki-san...
>could it be possible for someone to know that Naomi and I would be here?
>I can think of several ways I could have uncovered such information.
>Would it be possible for a normal person to find that out though?
>Kitsuki-san chuckled
>Thank you for the compliment, but I can still think a few very simple methods, yes.
>You think he's here for you?
>It wouldn't surprise me. He's so used to getting his way that anytime he doesn't it's like a personal insult that he simply MUST avenge.
>Well then, I'll keep an eye on him. Find out who is connected to at this court.
>Thanks. I'd like to get out ahead of whatever scheme he's cooking up
>Kitsuki-san nodded in agreement
>I went to find Naomi.
>It was best if she heard it from me, instead of just seeing him unexpectedly
>I found her by folowig the sound of coughing out into the hallway
>She was leaning on a wall, doubled over
>I took hold of her, and eased her down into a sitting position
>Then I yelled to a passing servant to bring me a tea set

>>53439299
>baby crabs being adorkable
Just a reminder of why I love this storybread

>I rubbed Naomi's back to soothe her until the servant came back, then brewed up her tea
>Naomi took a few sips, then several breaths
>At last she relaxed
>Thank you, Ishigaki-kun. Those backrubs always help.
>sip
>I watched her drink her tea, saying nothing.
>If she hadn't seen him, I did't want to shock her just now.
>She waited patiently until I looked up, and caught my eyes with hers.
>I saw him
>She said it the way someone would say they saw a rock
>Why is it that strain on your mind and soul always seems to bring out these fits, when that is only an illness of your body?
>The mind, body and soul are linked, Ishigaki-kun.
>Just like how an injury to the body weakens the grip of the soul, a wound to the soul can harm the body.
>THe taint works that way, as well, for it damages the soul, and in so doing warps and twists the body.
>So you're father is like the taint...I can belive that.
>She smiled,
>A sad one; her eyes were still half lidded and looking down.
>...i can too...
>It was whisper; I was sitting right next to her and I could barely hear her
>But she said it all the same
>I hated watching my Hana-chan lose her innocence.
>Every time, it was like watching a single petal fall from a beautiful flower.
>Samurai were supposed to like things like that.
>But I am not a very good samurai.
>I got her up and took her back to the room Ren had arranged for us
>Tsuyosa was there napping.
>As soon as we entered he woke up and started to bawl
>I scooped him up
>He stopped crying, looked up at me, then started bawling again
>Um.
>I passed him to Naomi
>Tsuyosa then began to nuzzle against her chest
>Ah, so that's it!
>Not for the first time, I had to chastise myself for feeling jealous of my own children for hogging my wife's breasts.
>I sat with them while Tsuyosa ate, enjoying the serene look on Naomi's face.
>If I didn't know any better I'd swear the boy did that just to help calm his mother down.
