They were bred that way for slave labour.

You mean Dark Orruks?

AoS is such a fucking joke.

PL 8 should work just fine. You could probably him up to 10, but I find that might be too high if you dont don't want silver age shenanigans. You could go down to PL 7, but I wouldn't go beyond that.

Basically, I like games where characters have a singular power set and can still offer them chalenges. I usually stay between 7 and 10 starting off.

Shapeshifting to a cat is probably not a big deal. Insect control guy is probably going to be fun to build, although if it goes the way I think he'll have summons with Insubstantial, which can be pretty strong and need to be planned against. Although due to the wonders of descriptors, there's nothing mechanically saying just using a flamethrower wouldn't work

For precognition you probably want a dynamic array with stuff like luck control and remote sensing heavily limited by descriptor

PL8 is what I figure. We'll discuss tone and setting when we meet but I envision a Golden Age setting to incorporate the earliest wave of mystery men and villains as well as some pulpy weirdness

Make them... Gay?

>>53198877
Homosexuality is the only answer here.

I have no idea what this combination would even entail... Do you grow monsters, then send them into dungeons comprised of puzzle battles? I dont understand...

>>53197246

Pokemon Mystery Dungeons was the SHIT when I was growing up, I approve of this wholeheartedly, and may contribute to the thread later on.

Doesn't speak to me.

How about this?

They were decently displayed in District 9.

The Mantid Paragons in World of Warcraft are pretty dope. Sucks that you had to kill them after they were your bros.

>>53197230
I was very fond of the Klaxxi from Warcraft, but they fell into the stock evil bug race towards the end.

I think people are less inclined towards them because bugs are typically perceived as a nuisance, not something you'd want to play as in a game.

A better board for what, exactly?

Spaceship aesthetics isn't exactly something the other boards are well versed in, never mind the fuckery that is 40k.
If you want to try your luck with the /v/ autists, be our guest, but they will most likely redirect you to here.
Although if all you wanted to do was start a 40k humour thread, all you had to do was say so.

This game looks amazing, but my group isn't suited for this type of games.

You know I'm looking at the size of the new Bloodthirster and Lord of Change and I don't really think next edition's greater daemons are going to be T6 anymore

>>53195260
Just run a normal game for once.

Here's an idea: RUN A GAME YOURSELF INSTEAD OF BEING AN ENTITLED SHIT.

Faggot. Not even gonna waste a reaction image on this.

Here ya go

Though, my original plan was to do a regular hand and a half sword, or a claymore.

>some of the smaller chapters invovled in the badab war

You too, huh?

>>53193907
kinda torn between Marines errant and mantis warriors, why is picking a chapter so hard

>>53193990
I like the Mantis Warriors, but unfortunately I've only modelled them as trophies taken by my Carcharodons.

Marines Errant are pretty cool too, but speaking from experience halved or quartered colour schemes can be a ballache.

>with minimal effort on my behalf?
Impossible. You have to wade through a sea of shit to find even one half decent player.

Step one: Play an unpopular system, like GURPS or something.

I'll play if my schedule allows it, what's your schedule?
It is worth allowing the UA, it allows for some fun options and you can always make it clear you'll veto any options you don't want.

The prosthetics are generally better than usual organs, but I'm thinking they can be "overclocked" by fueling the devices with their own blood. Like -2 constitution.

One of the players is a half-orc so I would like to include a functional implant/prosthetic, that they can decide if their character will want to use or not. I really like this idea, obviously, but I acknowledge it might be a different theme than what they're going for.

The players ended up here chasing down a bunch of kobolds that blew a hole into some nearby mines. They blew up tons of tunnels and just uncovered this abandoned dwarf prison. I don't really know where I want this game to go past this session, so really any ideas are welcome.

>>53193214

Prisons usually will be boring. That's because nobody cares about design, just an efficient way to hold prisoners.

The only way I can see any kind of prison being unique is if the prison is one part of a larger complex, or is basically not a prison but some kind of torture station that would have varied rooms. But even then torture is simple and you'd only need cells and a few rooms to do the torturing. It's like you want an efficient and utilitarian place to be designed like some sort of palace. They don't mesh well and nobody would do that.

Is there such thing as preparing too much as a dm? Planning a campaign and I'm trying to set up the initial area the party will hopefully crash at, villages, towns, the occasional dungeon and things that reside in these areas and they haven't even set up their characters yet.

How do you keep a hireling from just being a DMPC?

>>53193165
By giving someone absolute control.

The synethesia gas trap from the emerald spire floor 3 gave me some ideas for using it as a date rape drug on one of the players. It crosses sensory information so that you feel what you see, you see smells, and you smell what you hear, etc. Im gonna have the cleric of the level date-rape one of the captive pcs just for fun.

Am I doing this right? We're in agreement to do the scene, but I put in the drug use as a suprise.

I've used Perform (Oratory) checks to inspire a crowd to overthrow their corrupt monarchy so we could loot the town for the mcguffin while everyone was occupied.

>>53192117
I've scored a 108 on a Perform (Dance) check in combat thanks to exploding dice houserules.

Proceeded to use it as my AC (Thanks, Mithral Current), traverse the entire battlefield in a single turn (Thanks, Mithral Current), draw an AOO from every enemy and be missed every time (Thanks, Mithral Current), and deal around two thousand points of net damage in the process (Thanks, Mithral Current).
