Why didn't Chaos send all the Primarchs to chaos worshiping worlds or give them all daemon swords? Best case scenario more Primarchs join the Horus Heresy equivalent and chaos is actually able to take over the Imperium, worst case scenario the Emperor decides to kill more Primarchs and ends up being unable to complete the Great Crusade. Either way Chaos wins.

The Chaos gods don't want the Imperium destroyed. If that happened, Humanity would go extinct, and with them, most of Chaos's food. A weakened Imperium is the best outcome for them. Abaddon's crusades go against the Chaos gods, really.
>>
>>53448413
Humanity has millions of worlds, they're one of the least likely races to go extinct even without the Imperium. Also without the Imperium more humans would have to turn to chaos to survive therefore the Chaos Gods would get super charged while the Emperor wouldn't get any faith energy. Their biggest threat would become irrelevant.

What a good system for playing a multiverse campaign, where a party could consist of an elf wizard, a cyberpunk thug, a superhero, a Soldier from the Korean War and a talking cartoon armadillo, that isn't GURPS?
also Multiverse campaign ideas thread i guess

You'll most likely require a band of like-minded individuals who have a spark of interest and hopefully, pictured image provides each player a satisfying faction to play. Starter set factions are limited for demo play only, should a new recruit appear?

Hang out around 7-11s and tell young kids that you'd like to play a game with them out back.

What it says on the subject. Think of one of your PCs, and then provide a pic that resembles them (optional), and 1 to 5 songs that sum up their personality. You may mention the setting as well.
The following user will try to describe your PC based on this information, and in turn, provide pics and song of their PC, forming a chain of posts. You are encouraged to rate the acuracy of their description on a scale of 0 to 10.
I'll start.

Please tell me this isn't as common as this GM makes it sound? I haven't played for very long, but this has to be false, right?

Over the years, I've noticed some inherent flaws in the way that most initiative rolls work in most cases.
>Can't perform actions out of turn, such as someone throwing themselves in the way of an enemy's attack to save an ally.
>Interrupt actions (such as shooting a charging opponent) usually doesn't exist and if it does, it's usually a special ability that can only be used sparingly.
>People who get shit initiative are more likely to "tune out" since they have no reason to pay attention until it's their turn.
>Fights against single targets lose their edge because the party will inevitably get more actions.
>Fights against groups become tedious; either the GM rolls a single initiative for the group (leading to swarms) or individual rolls for each person (increasing the wait time)
>interrupts game flow as the GM has to record each initiative score while rolling for enemies.
With this in mind, would you say that it'd be easier if initiative was something decided through GM fiat?

GM fiat initiative is just as tricky, and has its own downsides.
I'm coming to like systems which actually make the 'initiative roll' a meaningful part of the combat round, rather than just a timewaster.
>>
>>53435541
I played with GM fiat initiative, both as a player and a GM.
It was a nightmare, because nobody knew when to act. It was just a big clusterfuck, and it wasn't fun at all.
But the majority of your complaints are fixed with the initiative system of CoC: you roll initiative, then everyone say the actions he wants to do, beginning with the LOWEST in initiative order to the highest. So, if you're faster, you can react to someone else.
Then, the actions are resolved, highest to lowest initiative.
>>
>>53435590
It's still the same problem though.
Lone creatures will still get swamped by the action economy, you'll still have to wait for your turn if you roll shit, and you still can't perform actions outside of your turn, even when it would be appropriate to do so.
At least with GM fiat initiative everyone's on their toes and paying attention, rather than just pulling out their phones and waiting for their name to get called like they're waiting in a deli line.

I've been out of the game for a while, since Sigmar came out I ditched Fantasy, and I've been out of 40k for a few years before that.
What the hell is going on? What's all this shit about new 40k Sigmarized rules?
Is any of it worth getting back into?

Yes. All 'sigmarized' rules to 40k are generally positive.

Simple you build castles with defensive wards and enchantments then man them with your own mages
