Twilight's Game Night

>praise the green!

>>21378120
First for Trixie DM's the next story!

>>21378120
Who forever GM here?

>>21378174

I've been DMing for 2 years at this point. Same story. I don't think they want me to end it yet. They're only level 9.

>>21378231
Uhh, 3.5 to clarify

>>21378174
I have to DM all the games that are not Shadowrun or TDE
Found an Exalted group to play with, first time DMing next week

>>21378231
>>21378251
>3.5
Tons of fun with D&D, if only the group could decide on a campaign. Or a system.
>>21378263
>First time DMing
Good luck with that, my first time ended with my group surfing a dreadnought through a greater demon's chest cavity. And not in a good way. Nah, but Dark Heresy is fun. Especially those crit tables. U-unf.

>>21378331

Oh yeah, my party is playing in a medieval fallout type universe. They are travelling this destroyed world making friends and allies in unlikely places. Meanwhile, they have 2 big bads already, a 3rd on the way, and they are slowly building an army of demons and cancer "zombies". The end game is going to be a massive battle over the starting city and each of my players is going to 1v1 one of the big bads because so far, each player has a specific vendetta against one of the big bads.

Should all be fun I think.

>>21378331
Only thing else I ever DMed was Vampir: The Requiem, and there I just improvised everything all of us were 15
Exalted is going to be interesting

>The six of you pause, the silence total except for the heavy clatter of the stone across the table. It bounces off your mug, skittering towards Twilight's screen.
>It rocks back and forth for a second, eventually coming to a rest on -
>"20!" Dash hoofpumps the air. "Hell yeah!"
>Twilight sneers at the d20. You could swear she bumps the table with her hip, trying to get it to move one last time.
>With a final grimace, she turns to the still frozen Pinkie Pie.
>"It's a social check," Twilight reminds her. "Mint Julep doesn't have to follow it."
>One of Pinkie's eyes twitches, just one, and she slowly brings her hoof back down, scooping up the d20 and cradling it gently.
>Her hair collapses on itself for a second, just a second, before springing back up into its usual mess.
>"No," she whispers. "No, my own dice would never hurt me. There must be a reason..."
>"You can ignore -"
>"No!" Pinkie Pie cuts off Twilight. "I just... why? Mint Julep needs a reason..."

>tfw never /tg/'d

How much am I missing? ;_;

>>21378397
Oh shit

>>21378407
Go to /tg/ man, there's a general for finding onnline groups for pen and paper stuff I think

>>21378376
>medieval fallout
>destroyed world
>zombie/demon armies
>massive battle
10/10 would play innasetting.

>>21378407
/tg/ has gamefinder threads, if you want to risk that. You could also try looking up a local gaming store and see if they have games. I don't regret a single minute of playing pen and paper.

>>21378407

Depends on the group. /tg/ has a gamefinder thread up all the time, even /mlp/ has games going in the fallout equestria thread, and someone is usually trying to start up that simple tabletop they have where the one class/race combo is bear/bear.

Its fun with the right people. If you decide to /tg/, stay away from That Guy and That DM threads for the same reason you stay wish normals would stay away from cringe threads and cons here.

Don't bring your fetish to the game. Do play your character as your character, and definitely read up on the system you are playing.

>>21378397
Anon needs to secretly, IC and OOC, clue Ponks in on his secret suicidal plan. I imagine he's going to work some redemption angle for Paladin and having Mint nearby for that will be clutch.

>>21378426
>>21378443
>>21378456
Firstly, I live in a shithole which probably doesn't have a "local game store".
Secondly, I just don't feel like I have enough imagination for this. It looks really interesting, but if RP decides the ammount of your earned EXP then it doesn't really look promising for me.
I'm a hopeless soul

>>21378566
Normally you can get only a few points of bonus exp through RP, and learning good RP comes with time
Just go to /tg/ and look around

>>21378566
It takes practice Anon. Writefriend is writing a group that has been playing a while, they're going to be good. Don't be discouraged before you even try.

>>21378566
>rp
>experience

Pssht, my experience has been that most DMs level you as the story progresses, maybe with a slight bonus for doing something awesome or in character.

If you need more imagination, read more. Adventure novels, fantasy stuff. Hell, just start writing something and see where it goes. I didn't think I had an imagination, now I can take an idea and build a world around it in just a few hours.

>>21378526
If we're throwing out ideas, I like this one.

>"Do we mean *nothing* to you?" Mercury Flare yells in the priestess's face.
>Mint Julep pulls back from the bard, face filled with confusion.
>"But... those people... " she stammers. "I could do so much for them..."
>"And we are going to die for them!" The pegasus stamps the ground for emphasis. "Do you see any way for us to survive? Because I don't! We are going to go into the Lich's throneroom, and we are going to DIE."
>"Then if we're already dead, let me use the last of my power to help them!"
>"Do you really want me to die screaming...?" Mercury Flare's eyes tear up, and she drops her head, ashamed to let anyone see. "You thought those Reavarii were worthy of your mercy... but not us...?"
>She peers up at the priestess through the fringe of her mane. Tears stream freely from her eyes.
>"We are going to die trying to buy them time to escape..." she whimpers, "and I... I feel it's the right thing to do. But please... it will not be swift... let the gentle caress of the sun be the last thing I feel, not an eternity of pain. Please..."
>"I'm sure Paladin will find a way!" the priestess argues, verging on tears herself.
>You shake your head.
"My body shall be the shield that protects the innocent. It has been, for a very long time. And I believe... I believe now is when it must end, though I shall do what I can to protect you all."
>Mint Julep can't hold it back any longer, the tears finally coming forth.
>"Please..." Mercury Flare begs the priestess one last time.

>>21378842

Holy shit. Suicide Squad is go.

He hath spoken so I shall obey.
But seriously, playing with completely random people alone is spooky
Also I should be sleeping instead of reading how small pastel horses and a human play D&D

What they said. Docking experience in this context was highly specific to the game, character, class and group. That scene was about an experienced player running a Paladin in a group he knows and trusts. The norm is regular XP at ST discretion with minor bumps cool shit or good RP occur.

>"Okay!" Pinkie Pie's hair bounces back to full extension. "I think Mint Julep can accept that."
>"Way to ruin the mood," Applejack says with a smile, brushing a tear out of her eye.
>You look over to Twilight - has she...?
>No. She looks sad, but... distant. She knows she can't stop you now.
>Rarity follows your gaze, frowning as she sees Twilight.
>"Look, darling, I know you're worried that we will wipe again, but it is okay," the unicorn tries to comfort her. "I'm having fun." She looks around the table, eyes lingering for a second on each of her friends. "*We* are having fun," she corrects herself.
>"Yeah, I know..." your princess answers. "Let's just keep going."

>You watch as the priestess expends the last of her healing spells on the most gravely injured prisoners.
>The bard cleans her face, wiping away the tears and filth, wearing a smile - you know she spoke up only because she trusted you.
"You don't fear death...?"
>"I fear it quite a bit," she answers sheepishly. "But I believe in you more."
>Some of the freed Ponies and Darkin approach, and you step back, knowing your work moments ago could not have erased your words earlier. You are not welcome - let the bard have her moment.
>They kneel before her, thanking her for her guidance. Offering to come with her, promising to die for her.
>You watch her shake her head sadly, gesturing to their families. You do not hear what she says, but you see its effect. Swiftly, they gather the freed prisoner and as many weapons as possible.
>With a final look to Mercury Flare, they leave, hurrying towards safety.

>You look to Existential Dredd.
"It is time, Assassin. Lead on."
>Unlike before, your party moves as noisily as possible, seeking to draw as many of the enemy to you as possible.
>The path is not easy - cultists frequently move to bar your path, sometimes launching attacks from ambush. A lucky spear grazes Durararog's head, blood flowing freely and blinding her in her left eye.
>Three tunnels later, a knife catches you in the leg, slipping between the plates of your armor where a larger blade would not.
>You do not pause, continuing to limp on through the tunnels. You feel the moon as begins to rise, coming closer and closer to it as the path slopes upward.
>"Careful..." Mint Julep warns. "I feel the presence of... something..."
>Existential Dredd's eyes widen and she slips into the shadows.
>You look around, trying to find what - THERE!
>A shade leaps from the darkness, knife held high.

>"Mine." Pinkie Pie lifts a hoof guiltily. "From our first attempt.

>An orange hoof comes shooting out of the shadows, moon-forged blade shining bright as it catches the shade in the chest mid-air.
>The monster falls, screaming blasphemous obscenities as Reavarii boil out of the side tunnels to cover its escape.

>"Bye, Fuchsia Wonder." Pinkie Pie waves sadly as Twilight removes the model.

>The next Reavarii attack almost succeeds - Mercury Flare will not fly again without the Sun's healing. After the battle, she returns to the spot she was wounded, staring at the scattered feathers and blood for long seconds.
>Mint Julep almost dooms you all then - her desire to heal the bard palpable. She steps forward, hesitantly, like she is not in control of her own body. She stops when the bard spits on the ground, on her own lost wings.
>"I didn't need them down here anyway," Mercury Flare says resolutely. "They just took up space."

>"She can just heal me after we beat the Lich," Rainbow Dash explains as you all try to pick your jaws up off the table.

"Damn, and I thought we'd finally made an honest roleplayer out of you."
>"I am pretty sure we did," Rarity responds, trying to wipe the tears from Pinkie Pie's face.

>The shade returns, almost claiming the barbarian - you move to intervene, but your injured leg gives out. But Durararog has heard your warning and turns, a killing blow becoming a grazing one.
>She fends off the attacker with Existential Dredd's help, but it escapes once more. You do your best to bandage the long gash in her side, but it is deep. Not fatally so, but... her movements are slowed. She may not turn so quickly next time.

>"Darn it, Twilight!" Applejack pounds a hoof on the table. "Are you trying to kill us all?"
>"I'm just doing my part," she answers, face dead.
>You slide slightly closer to hear, reaching for her hoof, hoping your actions are hidden by the table.
>She pulls her hoof back, out of your reach, and gives you an ugly glare that she doesn't bother to hide from your friends.

>The path continues upward - you can feel yourself nearing the surface. More and more frequently the areas you move through are dressed stone, not rough-hewn earth.

>The Reavarii make a last-ditch effort to stop your party in front of a massive door. Warding runes glimmer faintly in the dark of the tunnels, casting an odd bluish tint on the conflict. The assassin's luck finally runs out, her attempt to dodge a thrust spear a second too slow. It slides across her underbelly, cutting a shallow furrow though the flesh. She brings one forehoof down on the spear shaft, knocking it out of the Reavarii's grasp, and brings her knife around in a glittering arc to punch through the cultist's neck. She quickly reverses her grip and tears it free, continuing the motion in a smooth arc that slices through a second cultist's face.
>Once the screaming stops, only Mint Julep stands before the door uninjured. She looks first to Durararog, her white coat now mostly stained red, panting for breath yet unwilling to retreat. Then to Mercury Flare, who stares at the door in unrivaled rage, torn feathers plastered to her back with her own blood. Existential Dredd returns her look, nodding in determination even as she presses one forelimb to her belly to stop the bleeding.
>She doesn't look to you - she knows there is no one, not even the Moon, could stop you now.

>>21381341

>Not even your princess.
>"Do we have a plan...?" Pinkie Pie asks quietly, head down, pressing her snout to the table.
>"Die fabulously," Rarity states with certainty, hoof in the air. "Die with honor and ascent to the stars."
>You smile at that.
"No."
>Every head turns to you, curious. Everyone except Twilight. She looks away, pretending to double check her notes.
"I go in first."
>"Of course," Dash says with a shrug. "That's kinda obvious. You're the tank."
"Mint Julep next."

"As I see it, we have one hope."
>You put one hand on the door, preparing to shove it open.
"The Moon."
>"But -" You don't let Mercury Flare finish the thought.
"But she is distracted, I know."
>You look back to your companions one last time.
"We will have to catch her attention."
>"But that's impossible!" Existential Dredd yells at you. "It won't work!"
>You smile down at her sadly, allowing her for the first time to see your face under your hood.
"Would you rather die without hope?"
>"Not really," she answers you.
"Then have faith."

>>21381521
It begins

>>21381521

"Mint Julep, we need the Moon to see us - use Midday Sun to burn a hole through the ceiling. It's shallow here - you should be able to make a large hole."
>She nods somberly.
"Then cast Lingering Warmth. We will need time to get Her attention - hopefully that spell will keep everyone alive through what is to come."
>"Just remember to stay close, Paladin - that spell has a short range."
"I know."
>"And what of us?" Durararog asks, breathing still labored.
"Defend the priestess. All of you. Stay close to her."
>You take a deep breath, hold it for a second, and exhale. It's time to end this.
>You shove the door open.

>>21381598
>"AND I think that's a good place to stop." Twilight says, closing her notes a little more loudly than normal

This is on my short list of good Twi fiction. They don't know what they're missing out on.

>"Don't do this," Twilight begs you, eyes shimmering with wetness.

>You stride into the room, doing your best to ignore the pain in your leg.
>Your sword flickers out, intercepting the first shade's blade and sending it spinning. You punch out with your free hand, knocking it back. Another comes at you from the left and you twist, driving it back with a wild swing. You bring that arm back quickly, slamming your elbow into a third's face. The one that ambushed you twice, you dully realize.
"NOW, PRIESTESS!"

>Twilight rears up, bringing her forehooves down on the table, knocking down the DM screen and sending miniatures flying.
>"Please, Anon!" She screams. "Don't do this!"
>That's okay, you don't need the map anymore.

>A beam of heat shoots up from the priestess's hooves, burning through the ceiling in seconds. The cold light of the Moon shines down through the hole, illuminating the center of the room.

>"Please," she sobs. "Why would you do this? Haven't you been having fun with us?"

>You thrust forward with your sword, clearing the smallest of paths between the shades. You bodily shove your way forward, knocking them down. You can clearly see the bound fragment of the regrowing Lich on the far side of the room. It glows with evil menace.

>"Haven't you been having fun with *me*?"

>"Not yet, you're too far away!"
"It's better that way. NOW CAST IT."
>You step into the pool of moonlight and pull back your hood.

>"Please..." You stand, putting your arms around her. "I don't want this story to end..."

>You look up to the night sky, to the Moon. Your sword falls from your limp hands, clanging sharply against the stone floor.

>"I don't want this to end..."
>You squeeze her tighter.

"I am sorry..."
>You rip your robes from your body, shredding them. Their magic is nullified - everyone can see you clearly now.

>She collapses in your arms, staining your shirt with her tears. She slams her eyes shut, trying to block out the pain.

"I am sorry, my love!"

>Twilight opens her eyes, just barely, just enough. You look deep into them.

"I AM TIRED OF THE LIES! I AM TIRED OF BEING ALONE!

>She flinches away from your gaze for a second, only a second. As much as she wants to crawl into her library, to get away from here, she can't keep herself from returning your look.

"I AM HERE, DO YOU SEE ME!"
>The light grows stronger, brighter.

"Can you think of a better way for this story to end?"

>Your clothing, your armor, burn away in the light, in the harsh gaze of the moon.

>"No..." she whispers quietly.

>You can see your goddess now, her face contorted in rage fueled by pain and loss.

"I can."

"I RETURN TO YOU WHAT I STOLE, MY GODDESS!"

>"Yes...?" Twilight answers uncertainly.
>"Then the story is not over, darling," Rarity informs her with a smile. "You were worried for nothing."
>She shoves the core rulebook over to your side of the table.

Bumpin.

I think I speak for a few that we who are unfamiliar with the ways of the Emperor's fa/tg/uys need some explanation about the ending. Can anyone explain it clearly?

>>21384334
Did you read from the beginning?

Twilight's setting had it that the goddess of the moon ( aka "the moon" ) had a hatred for a single person, whom she would smite. Anon exploited a common detail of the medium -giving his character a weakness in exchange for the ability to buy more skills and whatnot. One common weakness is to be hated by any powerful force. Anon chose "the moon." And because the goddess was specifically stated to be hating one person ready to smite him, and the game rules says she hates anon, that means anon is the one who stole from the moon. It's also commonly accepted for players to decide details of their backstory as they go along. Since anon's backstory is this setting's lore, he gets to decide parts of the lore, such as having the thing stolen from the moon be her heart. Paladin joins the moon in an enormous explosion as anon announces his love for purple smart. The rest of the party is temporarily invincible due to the cleric's spell, which was why it was such a big deal pinkie not turn that spell into healing instead. Twilight figured the plan out ahead of time, except for the love part, and was worried anon was killing his character off so that he could leave the campaign because he decided he didn't return her affections.
Subtext woo!

nice summary

51KB, 614x340px

>>21384815
Thanks for reminding me of the missing details. Now it makes sense.

>>21384815

The action of the scene is pretty poorly described. We're given -- in broad strokes -- what the moon itself is doing and how it's impacting one particular character, but the rapid flipping between scenes and pacing skipped over a lot of clarity. Like what anyone else was doing, or how they were reacting, or what the scene even looked like to begin with.

And Twilight's emotional outburst isn't really explained either. I can guess to her emotional state based on the insecurities that have been at least somewhat developed, but her rapidly increasing distress isn't addressed by her dialogue or the narrative. We're watching a group of friends sit around a table while one is sobbing and screaming and the others are -- what? Casually announcing characters actions at her?

It reads like a cobbled together patchwork of climaxy elements and assumption. I get what's going on, but I'm not shown what's going on and I honestly don't know why a lot of it is going on. And none of this is subtext.

>>21385827
I think Twilight's emotional outburst is that she fears that anon will leave the gaming group, and her, after this campaign. Especially since they've made some headway into a new relationship. It's been hinted at that she's saddened by the fact that Anon keeps leaving and not staying with her so her fears are somewhat understandable.

>>21386010
>her fears are somewhat understandable

They made out while making nachos and he called himself her boyfriend soon after that. Her emotional outburst was a bit over the top and out of character, imo.

>>21378407
I think learning something about D&D through this story isn't really effective, neither culture-wise nor system-wise, because the "gaming culture" of a group heavily depends on the people you play with.

Also, if this was an actual representation of the D&D system, the story would go on like this:

>>21382324
>You grab the core rulebook and tap your fingers against it, wondering what kind of character to build next.
>Meanwhile the others continue with their game.
>Aredee is the first one to speak
>"So, how much xp do we get for defeating the evil lich?"
>Twilight looks at the ceiling in thought.
>"It should be enough for a level up."
>Everyone cheers and Twilight smirks.
>"You should be glad that I'm nice enough to give you experience for defeating the lich even though it was the gigantic explosion of divine wrath that defeated him."
>Rarity looks concerned.
>"How big was that explosion anyways?"
>"The prisoners were luckily already too far away to be affected, but it pretty much leveled the whole perimeter.
>As if through a miracle, your party has manged not to get buried beneath the rubble."
>Suddenly Aredee takes Pinkie's stone D20 and throws it at you.
"Ow, what the fuck Aredee!?"
>"ANON, YOU DUMB FUCK, NOW WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY TREASURE!"

>>21387751
Well, that's the thing. I've heard of D&D before but actually got interested in it after this green. And the gamefinder thread was full of shitposting and nobody wanting to be a GM.

>Pinkie Pie's eyes grow wide as she walks away from the castle.
>"I... I forgot something back -"
>"Nope!" Applejack loops one foreleg around her withers.
>"Not a chance," Rainbow Dash smirks as she wraps one of hers around the pink pony's neck.
>"We slipped out for a reason, darling." Rarity grins mischievously - not an expression anyone would expect from such a proper mare.
>"No! Really!" Pinkie yells at her friends. "I should go back!"
>Her friends continue to drag her away, her protesting hooves digging deep channels in the soil.
>"Look, sugercube, I know you wanted to keep playing," Applejack says sympathetically to her friend. "Heck, I wanted to see how much experience we got."
>"And *I* wanted to see what kind of loot we -" the pegasus cuts off suddenly.
>"What kind of loot we...?" Rarity stops, gasping.
>Applejack peers at them suspiciously.
>"What's wrong with you two?"
>"WE AREN'T GOING TO GET ANY TREASURE!" they wail in unison, the sheer volume stunning the orange pony.
>Pinkie Pie looks to her friends briefly, eyes darting from shocked face to shocked face. She slowly slips free of their grasp. With one last look at them, she dashes off, giggling, leaving her three friends standing shocked in the street.

"I know."
>You reach out with your left hand, running it up one of her hind legs. The feel of her warm coat under your fingers is comforting. Inviting.
"I couldn't admit to myself that anyone could even care about me."
>"I care about you..."
"How could I believe you - you of all ponies - could love me?"
>"How could you ever doubt it?"

Aw shit. Motha fucking Dragonlance. I still have a Dragonlance poster my father gave me.

Please remember that the categories belong to the bottom of the page, so any additional information goes ABOVE of the categories.
Once the writefag releases the edited version of his story, I'll also put the article up to date.

I also removed the butt edits.
I'll interpret it as a way of testing my attentiveness, but please don't do that again!

>>21396297
Amazing tale writefriend. Great characterization (you made me believe that ponk can actually be a character again), believable plot with coherent arcs, cuteness and feels abound, and then the sledge hammer of nostalgia with Dragonlance at the end. This is the best green I have seen on this board in quite some time. Congratulations, and good luck on your future endeavors.

Happy to see Dragonlance was the right choice.

Berry Punch's story will start in a day or two. Have a general idea - a few specific jokes and events in mind. Thinking of Anon running a one-shot of Deathwatch, just so Trixie can be a bitch about humans being wusses when she finds out there's a librarian class. Also Lyra having a handgasm and getting really depressed every time she has to break character. But the important part is it should be a one-shot and Twilight isn't running it.

Much of this story came from suggestions or comments made by anon. Anon thinks Paladin is acting out of character? Oh fuck, he is. Gotta spin this. Anon thinks I should shut up about what's in the bag - yeah, that shit should wait for the epilogue. Anon hasn't led this story astray yet, so... suggestions/demands for Berry Punch's tale?

Who is DM'ing and who is in the group? That'd dictate some of my suggestions.

>>21401901
Cheerilee, Lyra, Trixie, Berry Punch, Anon and Twilight. DM can't be Twilight or Berry Punch, anyone else is open.

>>21402800
this sounds amazing, I am not sure if i'd prefer trixie as DM or player though

>>21402818
>Trixie as a DM
>Every town is named 'Trixiengton, Trixhausen or some other variation of Trixie.

>>21402800
i vote on anon as dm, we have already seen him as a player once

>>21402800
Make anon the DM. He could weave some human influences into the story.

Trixie as a space marine is probably even more hilarious

I'm voting Anon for DM. He's gotta have some crazy shit in his back pocket, plus you could throw in some fun pop culture references for laughs. Army of Darkness campaign, Ash as DMPC

The Emperor protects.

So... Now that the story is done, does someone wanna alter and rework the campaign so that it can be used in an actual rpg system?

>>21405627
That's a lot of work, considering some may want it as a one off adventure or a full blow campaign. What system would it be ran in?

Honestly, I would probably run it in 13th age. Although 5th edition came out and I've heard it's awesome so idk which would be best.

"Remember when we ran into Cheerilee at the market?"

"I saw her again, while I was out today."

"Is there any way you could copy them?"

"You know, magic them out of there?"
>"I... hrmmm..." She puts a hoof to her chin, deep in thought. "Maybe. I'll have to do some research..."
"But it's possible?"

"Think you can give it a try?"

"Come here, get in here."

Sooon.

So did anon and twi fug? I only got the impression he cuddled naked with her but I could be missing some vital subtext here.

Damn, now I kind of want to write something like this with Anon as the Dungeon Master based on a real story.
The real story even includes a Rainbow Dash-like player, except that he's even more couragous.
One of his greatest moments (that's not in the story) would be:

>The party fights some giants on a 20ft high wall
>They kill all the giants, more appear out of a building
>"Can I charge them?"
"You're standing on top of a wll, so unless you can fly, the answer is no."
"However, there's a staircase that would allow you to attack the giants next round."
>"I jump off the wall to attack the giants."
"Are you sure?"
>"Yes."
"You jump off the wall and take <dice roll> 7 points of falling damage."
"You are now prone in front of the giants."
"You still have a standart action left, would you like to do something?"
>"I stand up."
"The giants attack you with their clubs."
>Both hit.
>It's now another player's turn.
>"Oh shit, <name left out>, let me help you."
>The other player also jumps off the wall.
>The giants kill both of them.

The sad part is that the first player has more than three years of experience, but he's shown time and again that he's highly resistant to learning.

>>21412531
>No acrobatics check to land on his feat and mitigate fall damage
what the fuck are you doing anon

>>21412579
He was playing a barbarian, and in D&D3.5 you can only reduce falling damage by 1d6.
Also he really isn't the type of player to think of that.

>>21412757
What a chump. Sif not stand at the top of the stairs and make the giants look at your mighty sword as you kill them.

>>21409500
holy shit he's back.
And its glorious.

>Translation - she read all of it.
>"... and it really doesn't sound like a nice setting." She grimaces at you. "To start with... you play a fanatical super-soldier designed purely for killing anything and everything that is even the slightest bit different. Your country is engaged in not just one but multiple xenocidal military crusades run by fools, madmen or both. You give unlimited power to omnicidal maniacs and then praise them when they start blowing up planets! PLANETS! Every species is doomed, there are no good guys, and your galaxy faces invasion by what I can only assume are galactic parasprites! And your god - who by the way sounds like he as a horrible person - is dead. Why would you ever want to play this?"
>You reach up to her from the floor, wrapping both of your arms around her neck.
"Twilight, I love you, I really do."
>You pause for a second as she smiles down at you.
"But you're talking heresy."

Dude, sometimes players just need to be reminded of what they can and can't do. If you tell them they can jump off the wall, you can also tell them they can jump attack feat them.

"Careful Twilight, you're straying into double heresy territory."

Is it wrong to look at W40k as a joke setting? In the sense that it's tongue-in-cheek humor, rather than completely serious? I just can't take it seriously with Squats, or Ciaphas Cain HERO OF THE IMPERIUM running around. And don't even get me started on some of the Eldar color schemes.

>>21421265
So they did fuck? I'm still unsure of that.

>>21421265
It's all about context yeah?
It can work as a dark and gritty "everything is bad" setting.
It can also be a ridiculous parody of itself.
It just depends on what you want out of it.
If you don't like it enough to take it as it is well that's fine as long as you don't try to force it on anyone that does.
Although I wouldn't make fun of the Eldar colour choices. On of their still living gods is literally The Terrifying Chessmaster Murder Clown.
With a god like that space elves can do whatever the fuck they want.

>You hesitate for a second, trying to think of a good example.
"Remember... remember when Pinkie Pie tried dual-wielding touch spells?"
>She nods, still looking skeptical.
"You thought it was kind of badass, right?"
>"Well of course. Because it was."
"That's what a game of Deathwatch is when it's played right - a long string of badass deeds, one after another, set against the darkest backdrop possible."
>Twilight snorts derisively.
>"Wouldn't that get boring in the long term?" She holds her forehooves up in mock terror. "OH NO YET ANOTHER UNDEFEATABLE BEAST I ROLL TO PUNCH GIVE ME XP."
>Even Fluttershy giggles at that. Well, at least she's not terrified anymore.
"Yes, but... this is a one-shot game. There is no long term."
>You give her a sly smile, made not very convincing by your position prone on the floor.
"Surely you can't get bored in a single night, can you?"
>"Well... I guess I can give it a try." She leans down and nuzzles your face. "But you owe me."
"I'm sure you'll think of something soon. What about you, Fluttershy?"
>She ducks back, embarrassed to be the center of attention while you and Twilight are being... affectionate.
>"Well, I guess I could give it a try..." she tells you, though she still looks concerned. "There are healers, right...? I don't *want* to play an omnicidal maniac."
"Oh yeah, there are several healer classes to choose from."
>"I guess... I guess I could give it a try." She tries to smile at you through her mane.

>Yes - but both actual clop and the jokes about Twilight needing to buy more sheets because Anon is tired of washing them every day seemed... out of place.

I'm fine with no clop. I just kept getting the impression they just cuddled and made out with Anon being naked. Nude make-out can be hotter than sex some times.

It can be rather silly at times, but take a look at shit like the Horus Heresy books. A lot more serious, none of the ridiculousness, the SUPAH STRONK SPASS MUHREENS are actually humanized, shown to have numerous fatal flaws, even bending to the will of the warp before the chaos gods really took form and holy shit, there are just really, really fucking dark moments where you have to take breaks from it because otherwise it becomes overwhelming.

The Eldar are also shown and despite some of the comical shit surrounding them, they actually sound pretty cool in the books and there are moments where you can tell that there are many of them that don't want to war on humans, but they know that the warp has already taken root in the hearts of many of their leaders.

Definitely good reads and are examples of when the writing was still good.

I've read some of the Horus Heresy, and I'm looking into getting more of the books at the moment. It somewhat depends on what time period you're looking at, I suppose. W40k used to have an 80s power metal feel to it, but now grimdark more accurately describes it, Cain excepted.

>>21423906
Yeah, this is going to be amazing

That album...

It's easily one of the worst I've ever heard.

"If you know both yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss. The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him."

"The Tactical Squad shall draw the enemy's fire, thus allowing the Devastator Squad to attack from a position of strength."

Bomp.

Who put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp

Who put the ram in the ramalamadingdong

"With combat knife, boltgun, and grenade, the Space Marine shall assail his foe. The chainsword is the will of the Space Marine made manifest. The Space Marine shall master all weapons, and all battlefields. When harried, the Space Marine shall drive his enemies back. The Space Marine will never know defeat."

>"You're going to let that... that..." Twilight stumbles around, searching for the right word. "... that HERETIC play?"
>You can't help but laugh at her choice of insult.
"Are you sure that's the right word?"

I can't wait for Trixie to argue with Twi.

*Sigh*
"No Trixie. for the last time, we are not going to kill Twilight"
>"But Trixie is sure she is possessed ! She saw it with her own eyes ! She's an agent of Tzeentch!"
>"I am not !"
>"You are ! And Trixie is going to prove it!"
"Trixie please ... Just stop."

>"Hey!" She stomps lightly on your chest. "You're the one telling me I should stop swearing!"
>Giggling. Fluttershy is giggling at you. Well, now that you've hit rock bottom...
>"Besides, it seems like a nice catch-all... even if it's used wrong."
>Great, now she's going to be going down mainstreet yelling "Heretic!" over and over, every time someone gets in her way or looks at you wrong. You feel so proud of her. So very, very proud.
"So can you do it?"
>"Play with Trixie?" she replies with a sneer.
"I meant copy the books, but yes - that too."
>She sighs and steps back, off of your chest. "I've already done it."
"The book or Trixie?"
>"Both," she answers slowly. "We kinda... tried her as a replacement for you..."
>That... stings. Right in the pride.
"Even after what she did?"
>You really can't believe your friends had invited her back - not after what happened the first time she played with you. It was the last time - and the last time Twilight Sparkle ever let someone else DM.
>Seriously, who creates her own setting where everything is named after herself?

Oh shit, right in the feels
