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.
>>53509906
God damn it why do Americans have to shoehorn guns into fucking EVERYTHING?
They weren't even invented until the late 1800s, why would they be in medieval fantasy?
Jesus Christ.
repeating firearms?
they aint such a big deal when you have magic powered robots in your setting as well
>making early fire arms
Why did they have this idea? Where does it come from. Tech development does not happen in a vacuum. "early" firearms appeared after a thousand years of technological development after primitive gunpowder

What are some clever ways of implementing Mages in your games without them diluting everything?
>>53509873
As NPCs or PCs? Because NPCs play and act as you want them to act so unless you want them to stir shit they won't stir shit
>werewolf
>yiffing is banned
why even bother
>>53510105
You poor mutt
Best put yourself down
Why aren't there any proper Jokaero spaceships in Battlefleet Gothic? They're described as being pretty awesome in the fluff.
You can't see them because they've got advanced cloaking systems
I could be misremembering this but IIRC jokaero ships are generally/always unarmed. If thry encounter someone else they just escape. Doesn't make for fun space combat.
So are they xenos or ab-terran species of ape?

Why do 40k fans insist that their sci-fi setting is a high powered one? You take something like pic related, and every Space Marine in the Galaxy would be so much fodder against it.
>>53504641
>thinking astarties are the best thing the imperium has
Are you new or something? Titans exist for a reason. Or if the world isn't worth fighting for or the presiding inquisititor is bored they could just blow the planet to hell.
>>53504748
Both would be literally useless against the Shrike, which exists outside of time in the conventional sense and eats up entire armies in a setting where you have small arms with better ranges than 40k battleships; and can blast through literal kilometers of solid rock on stray shots, and where backwater militias practice by shooting at targets on the moon from their planet. You did a WONDERFUL job of illustrating my point, namely that 40k fans have no sense of what else is out there in sci-fi.
Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1977. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

let's try and keep this one alive a bit longer
I've played a few traveller campaigns, there were sweet.
Thinking about DM'ing one but stripping out a lot of the space travel rules for simplicity. Thoughts?
>>53504171
Doable, especially if you don't even provide a ship. PCs can be passengers. They'll hate it, but motivation is a powerful tool for the Referee...
>>53505354
I'm trying to keep this to a summer-only thing. I have a coherent storyline so I think I'll just have an NPC pilot. I don't think they'll mind being passengers because otherwise they'll have to learn all the hard-scifi space travel rules.
2BB, Sorcery
All creatures lose indestructible until end of turn. Destroy all creatures.
"None is worthy." - Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh
Legit? The return of a 4 mana wrath to standard? And it's the same answer to indestructible as WoG was for regenerate, something to note. Maybe this was inevitable ever since they decided to get rid of regen and replace it with indestructible.
>>53501008
>None is worthy
But also this card is pretty damn strong.
Fake as fuck.
Provide a source before you try to provide an argument how it's not fake.
>>53501178
I'm not claiming anything. In fact, if you read the OP carefully, you'll see "Legit?" right after the card text. A ? means a question.
Let's brainstorm a space opera setting /tg/
>Faster than light travel depends on fixed hyperspace lanes. This means, certain portions of space cannot be navigated, hyperlane traffic is a problem for systems that only have one hyperspace lane leading to and from them and gravitational distortions (like black holes) in the path of a hyperspace lane can cause delays because they make travel slower. Additionally there are hyperspace lanes that are kept secret either for military purposes or by pirates/privateers.
Napoleonic Wars in space
>>53498362
>The Galaxy is about 100,000 lighyears wide but on average only 1,000 lightyears thick, but the overwhelming majority has not been explored. Known space comprises a rough cylinder shape 8,000 light years wide and 1,000 ly thick, for a total volume of 50,300,000,000 cubic light years. With an average solar density of .004 stars per cubic light year, this means that known space has 201,200,000 stars in it.
>Almost all stars (99.99...%) have a planetary system with at least one planet, but only about .0015% have a planet that has Earth-like conditions amenable to complex (multicellular) carbon-based life (i.e., planets that have some variety of plants, animals, and possibly intelligent life at some stage of technological development). Therefore there are roughly 3,000 Earth-like planets inside of Known Space, and many times that number that could be adapted to have Earth-like conditions.

Warmasters Triumvirate is an attempt at creating yet another 40k AU. The Primarchs have changed, and instead of appointing a single Warmaster upon returning to Terra, the Emperor leaves the Great Crusade in the care of three of his sons. This eventually culminates in a civil war between Loyalists, Chaos Traitors and Separatists...

Drat!
do we have an updated version of all 21 Legions colour schemes?
Also how does everyone feel about how I tried to spice up Einchurt? Not sure if I did a good job of making him not an emotionless, nihilistic robot.

glass sword
steel and glass fused into an incredibly sharp blade
shatters on impact, destroying the blade and causing grievous injuries to the user
however this blade is impossibly sharp and usually causes fatal inujries to its target, often removing whole limbs
Assassin's ring
Point out a person and the little imp living in the ring will make some calculations and call up a few friends in the lower planes, then give you an approximate price money for the victim's head. The money is paid immediately upon killing - it just emerges into your purse.
How much you're paid for depends on many factors: alignment (good pays better), how much their death would tip the balance to evil, whether you were going to kill them anyway, and others.
Occasionally the little imp will speak to the wearer, pointing out passers-by and local rulers and trying to goad the wearer into killing them for money.
>>53456477
seems interesting but wouldn't most players just use this as a reason to murderhobo around

>Witchcraft allows you to learn any spell from an Arcane Lore with a Casting Number of 15 or less, but you must pay 200 xp for each one. You can cast these spells without having the Speak Arcane Language skill. However, you must roll an extra d10 when casting one of these spells. This does not add into your Casting Roll but does count for the purposes of Tzeentch’s Curse. Once you learn an Arcane Language and an Arcane Lore, you no longer have to roll the extra die.
I'm confused about the 'learn any spell from an arcane lore' bit. Does that mean that when using the Witchcraft talent, can I only learn spells from a single lore since it says 'an' instead of 'any'?
How wrong is it to use Warhammer miniatures and fluff to play Kings of War?
