Either I'm much to high, or those instructions are fucked.
How many can I take? Someone please translate into retard speak for me.
Have your characters ever become a god?
How do you define a god?
>>53254923
>How do you define a god?
Any sufficiently powerful entity becomes indistinguishable from deity.
>>53254923
'God' is very much rooted in context.
I had an AdEva character take the place of Adam, Archangel and lord of the Angelic race. The game died soon after, but it was pretty interesting.
I also had a character in an AdEva game I ran pull an amazing gambit. I was using the concept of the Collective Unconscious as part of the game. To protect the pilots from ego-death due to piloting their mechs, each one was imbued with an Archetype, an image in the collective unconscious, that reinforced their identity but, over time, threatened to rewrite it, making them more and more like that archetypal image of themselves.
One PC figured out what was happening and managed to, through amazing feats of PR and marketing, imprint herself so heavily on the collective unconscious that she herself became the archetype in the collective unconscious she'd been representing. Becoming an immortal, transcendent figure within the collective mind of humanity is pretty damn close to godhood.
I had a character that ascended to godhood.
She became a goddess of strength, family, friendship, music, travel, giants, overblown retribution and all that sort of stuff.
Now she's known with the nick of "Mother of Titans" (due none of her blood-related kids being shorter than 4 meters tall), and she's rather happy of her position.
She's a protector of the meek , kids and orphans.
This said, a deity is a being of high power that is responsible for the creation and/or is in complete control of the existence of at least one factor of the universe.
In my aforementioned example, her main jig was "Size". Nothing about her is small. Big body, big muscles, big heart, big brain (although it might not look like it at first sight) big family, big family members, and even her rage is absolutely huge when unleashed (usually when her family is threatened. Sort of a Mama bear trope there).

1st for nobody.
What are your plans for the Primaris Marines?
>>53253134
>1st for nobody.
Is that you Malal?
After a few sessions of a new game I started for my close friends about "historic" vikings settling into a standard fantasy world as the first humans I came upon a bit of a problem...
I picked the wrong system to GM.
Now I would rather not start a discussion about what is shit and what is not shit but it came on to me that Pathfinder/3.5 may be fun for me to play, yet is not so fun for me to GM.
I would prefer not to start a new game since the players and I like this one's story, so instead I decided to switch the system.
What fantasy system would you switch it to ?
I am currently thinking of trying 5ed because of what I heard about it yet I haven't touched it much as of yet.
>>53252947
If you're wanting a streamlined experience that let's you easily modify and house rule 5e would work.
GURPS
It would be easy to convert to E6 and it avoids many of the problems of 3.pf
>Early game
>Facing a wight that flat-out can't be harmed by conventional weaponry
>If they get close it WILL kill them and turn them into more undead
>Party knows both for a fact
>Barbarian chooses to try anyway, boasts he is the fucking strong
>Charges in, swinging his greatsword
>Nat 20
Internet is fairly full of stories wherein a player rolls a natural 20 and their character then automatically and gloriously succeeds at whatever they're doing. But what would you have done in this situation, were you the DM? Would you have gone with the usual conventions of these story, or would you have had the barbarian be drained to a husk in defiance of them, or perhaps somewhere in between?
Bonus question: Was it okay to throw a wight against the party to begin with, when they had no means of harming it?
>>53252239
I would've had something like this.
>The Barbarian with all of his fury strikes the earth with such force the very ground splits open
>The Wight is devoured whole by the hungry soil, never to be seen again
And no, it's not right to throw a wight at the party this early in the game.
>>53252239
>what is undead immunity to critical hits?
Personally, while I wouldn't let the barbarian kill the wight because immune to crits and all, IF he at least suggested he wanted to push the wight away or something, I'd let him knock the thing down a well, through a wall, or incapacitate it in some way, allowing the party some time to think of a more permanent solution.
And definitely not okay to toss a wight against them. Assuming the party is level 1, a wight can kill them in 1 hit, assuming 3.5e.
>Energy Drain (Su)
>Living creatures hit by a wight’s slam attack gain one negative level. The DC is 14 for the Fortitude save to remove a negative level. The save DC is Charisma-based. For each such negative level bestowed, the wight gains 5 temporary hit points.
>A character with negative levels at least equal to her current level, or drained below 1st level, is instantly slain. Depending on the creature that killed her, she may rise the next night as a monster of that kind. If not, she rises as a wight.
>>53252239
Could be worse, you could have the PC's fight a Vampire that's a part of the Union of Eclipses despite PC's knowing jack to shit about vampires beyond Default Vampire and Vampire Lord, because of the initial obscurity of diverse vampires, and the content presented in 2e Ravenloft.
Never fuck with a vampire over 500, they're simply Epic level threats that can and will Ream your asshole.
The fucking High preist of Vampires literally shag's lolth, and you'd miss this guy out if you havn't played a 1e module and read carefuly the Hordes of the Abyss splatbook, and even then, they cocked up his deity with a web enhancement which they then fixed in Forgotten Faiths with an even more obscure reference to a Lich deity that became a God by accident when he became a Lich because the lazy-ass fucking cat-like vampire deity who lives in what is literally the Scarlet devil mansion let a Piece of his divinity out for shits and giggles and it somehow latched on to this guy.
Anyhow, this Lich Deity? Literally is you bro, will help you ascend to undeath like a "You can do it!" kind of guy, as if an exemplar of Liches everywhere. Has access to the Luch Domain, so you know he's legit.
What's the most unlikeable character you've ever had the displeasure to experience on tabletop?
Both PCs and NPCs count
>>53252072
Howald Kote, general of Magnusian Liberation Front.
Our group met with him after said liberation movement on backwater Union world was cut short with Union forces by newly emergent alien species who ate every-fucking-one. We were on a ship with him escaping from the system and he was still pulling his rank on us, because we took part in it.
You bet that we have killed him on first chance.
>>53252072
We had a recurring villain named Aiden who always turned up at the worst times and wouldn't die. My DM knows how to run antipaladins in the most infuriating way possible. Aiden never engaged us without gaining a substantial advantage, he never engaged in banter, he never passed up an opportunity to mock us when he got an advantage, he would send waves of enemies at us and sit in the back like a coward spamming buffs on himself, and he wouldn't stay dead. In one encounter he managed to escape after we beat him by tumbling past our attacks of opportunity (which had a DC of 35+ because of our own abilities) and then used his enhanced speed to sprint away faster than we could follow.
His greatest exploits include:
Convincing our favorite NPC (who was a demi-god) to switch sides.
Undoing half of the progress we made over and over again.
Slaying our main cleric and trapping her soul in a magic warhammer. This was made worse by the fact that she was married to our paladin. Both players were quite angry about his.
Killing the final boss in the second to last session.
I think the DM realized that we hated Aiden way more than the actual primary antagonist so he killed off the final boss in order to move our antipaladin foe up to the top. Three years of campaigning and it's finally over.

at least people cheer cena. and no smarks don't count as people.
How different would WF be with honorable, selfless, kind, loyal Skaven? Order Skaven basically.
>>53251629
Sounds like they would have been raped to extinction by goblins.
>>53251629
We allready have dwarves
>>53251629
>Order Skaven basically.
Honor, selflessness, kindness, and loyalty are in no way inherent to the concept of Order.

On yeah, TOTALLY balancing the game, fellas.
Wow. What complete bullshit. Lets just buff everything about one of the strongest factions, guys! I swear we are balancing the game! "We're making combat lethal again guys!" My ass. Suits are buffed to shoot 3 weapons instead of 2, have boosted movement, and can still shred anything with massive amounts of rape.
I was fine with units being able to fall back out of combat! It took away from being able to tarpit them (sometimes our only effective strategy), but at least it negated their ability to shoot back.
OH NO!!! we can't let our guys have a weakness! Lets just ignore the one FUCKING thing they had going against them because FUCK EVERYONE ELSE!!
I better get some kind of endless swarm rule for my tyranids and generate/regenerate wounds/models/units while ignoring the reinforce costs, because apparently balancing armies means to ignore what your army is weak against!
I NEED A GOD DAMNED DRINK.
I'm debating selling my Blood Angels army after reading this. Jesus Christ. "Melee combat is viable again!" Bullshit, GW.
>>53251238
yeah but drones are more fun now
Does /tg/ play Catan without the robber? My family can't tolerate the robber at all (thinks it's "mean"), so we played a few rounds without it, and boy is it boring if you're playing from behind. You basically have no chance to come back aside from dice rolls.
Catan is just an rng meme game for normies
>>53250974
>doing catan
>with your family
hoo boy
>>53251234
Yeah, I realize the mistake now. Nothing better than a board game with dice rolls to make you realize you hate your family

Meanwhile, Orks are stuck with Gorkamorka-era models, Aspect Warriors are Finecast, and Chaos only have a single modern unit for their Cult troops.
But hey, more Space Marines! Just what we all asked for.
>>53250261
At least boltguns have a more modern take on them with the rail and scope. The mechanicus must've been keeping all the 21st century tech hidden until now.
The primadonas
For all you weebshit /a/ and/or /jp/ crossposting faggots how would you feel about a game in which your character's and relevant NPC's identities and abilities were determined by you're waifu or husbando.
I'm more confused than anything
>>53250116
Sorry about my shit grammar I'm stupid. In essence your character's powers and likely their personality would be determined by whatever anime character you choose.
>>53250086
>monk looks blind but in reality has a 360 degree field of vision
>wizard with a dead dad but she has a fighter to do her bidding
>teenage girl who had a minor villain as a father but tries to join the adventuring party to redeem the family
I mean it could be worst
What are the best places in Great Britain for urban fantasy/horror?
Dover.
The no go Muslim neighborhoods
London is a classic, but honestly any old city has plenty of implicit plot hooks.
Alternatively, a new town like Milton Keynes might be interesting for a more modern/postmodern take on things, rather than going the old school occultism/mythology angle.
>>53250067
Well, that's certainly appropriate for fantasy given that they don't exist.
You are reborn in the 40k universe.
You can pick a mortal race to be a part of. So no primarch/c'tan/chaos god
You are of the social standing to have freedom.
You possess all of your knowledge from this world, as well as all the knowledge you need to survive in your new rank.
What race do you come back as? What do you do while you are there?
I'd pick necron
I'd try to find cypher and give him a ride to holy terra
>>53249489
Is this even a question? Ethereal.
>live in cozy empire focused in eudamonia
>follow an unifying philosophy
>know everyone in the empire loves and wants to protect me
Eldar, they still have the best life in the universe. Can decide if I want to be a degenerate, a corsair or get spiritual as either an exodite or aspect warrior.
First off, that’ll teach you for turning your back on the Emperor, edition.
