Tolkien made a mistake. Giant spiders aren't fucking real.

I think there's a quote from one of JRR's letters that works well here: "Shut the fuck up, you cockmongling autist".

The female torso counts as armored even when bare.

Nothing since it was alreadya thing

>>53125673
>>53125706
Yeah.
Females get 10+Dex mod+Prof as an AC calc. if not wearing armor.

Not wholly sold on the premise. Would rather find a playgroup for lost

Does Hunter: The Vigil have something like the Innocent creed that Hunter: The Reckoning had?

This was a sub-campaign that took place within the Rogue Trader game we were (and still are) playing.

The game has been running for almost a year and a half now and while this was a good ways in when this happened it was still a long time ago so some details about why characters were recruited and what they were equipped with may not be accurate.

Its an RT campaign that runs on a mod of Apocalypse World, with various house rules and add-ons on top of that tacked on as we've gone along.

What happens to the draw your group threads people people drew crude charicatures of their group's players and GM sitting at a table?

I guess I'll repost mine.

No.

Jedi are always harping on about "muh balance" and "muh light side".

Well guess what you can't have both. Light without the darkness is not balance. And the force could not have been destroyed. Perhaps the nature of the force would change, but is that not the very nature of a living thing such as the force?

All jedi are wrong, save for those few who have realized what balance truly is and that dark =/= evil, like that old guy in he first game who incidentally was the best character.

>>53123451
>that old guy
Jolly Dindu

>>53123451
REEEE THAT'S NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS
balance is not the dark side and the light being equal. balance is the force. the dark side is an unnatural perversion, that destroys the balance of the universe simply by its existence.

>>53117231
Because people read 1d4chan and think that it's the current state of affairs.

Because most new things are bad.

>D&D 5e ruined D&D
>Delta Green ruined Call of Cthulu
>Age of Sigmar ruined 40k
>GURPS 4e ruined GURPS
>FATE ruined the original FATE which didn't have as much retarded rules bloat

>>53118829
AoS ruined 40k? lolwut.

Looking for some feedback on Sidereal/Lunar homebrew:

The Mad Occultation (Moonsilver OR Starmetal knife artifact 2)

Allows the user to perform the Mad Occultation sorcerous ritual, as though they were a celestial sorcerer.
Stats are otherwise as the Knife in the core book.

The Mad Occultation (Celestial spell)

Cost: Ritual, Special
Keywords: None
Duration: 5 Months

Binds the Po Souls of a Lunar and a Sidereal together, so they each know the health of the other, can recognise the other in any form, and if one dies, the other follows in a month.

Both Luna and Saturn bless and oversee this agreement, and will contest the deathblow if necessary.

Special: To fulfill this agreement, both participants must know and understand the agreement in full, untainted by illusions.

Development Notes:
I wanted something to back sidereal and lunar mixed groups, while side stepping a lot of the mixed hatred. Mutually Assured Destruction seemed to fit this. Plus the image of Luna and Saturn showing up to tear your soul between them.

Sorcerous Artefacts are typically four dots. Check out the Talisman of Ten Thousand Eyes for an example. This is also quite similar to one of the examples given in the Core for an Ambition 1 Celestial Working, so why not just use that instead?

>>53115586
I kept it 2 dots because the knives / the ritual themselves are just entry keys to the N/A artifact embodied in the Contract stele.

Both sides wanted specifically to avoid this being just being a sorceous working / spell any sorceror could whip up or follow since there would be too much potential for hidden clauses to screw the other party over. For the same reason the keys/spell are extremely cheap

The full composite artifact/contract has a bunch traps and clauses precisely to prevent anyone making a fake copy of it, and any attempts to do so get flagged under Fate and the Lunar Fate webs.

The only real way to get out of a contract and/or prevent any trustful, temporary, Lunar Sidereal alliances in the current climate would be to locate and shatter all of the steles.

Some of the enemies of creation, including Rakan Thulio are attempting to do this.

Yuan-Ti, or those weird rainbow winged wolf things (can't remember name)

This here's my deck. I've been running Fevered Visions since Thermo-Alchemist enabled the entire deck and get good results at my LGS (though our local meta is pretty low-powered with many brews and budget decks).

Glorybringers, Enigma Drakes Sweltering Suns and Magma Spray bring this deck to a really good spot, I think. Enigma Drakes are a straight upgrade over Stormchaser Mages, the fact that they don't have haste is irrelevant as they smash for an inordinate amount of damage in the air every turn they're alive.

Considering slotting in Insult /// Injury, but the card doesn't do anything on it's own so I question how useful it's going to be.

>>53092956
Man I slipped enigma Drake into my kiln fiend deck and never looked back

How many sources of energy do you need to make Glint Sleeve Siphoner good? I'm thinking of just running Aether Hub, Attune and Harnessed.

How the fuck does holo1 interact with hacking. There are scenarios where you need to know if the hackable trait is open info, but can't premeasure hacking area to confirm.

Relevant rules:
-"However, in Holoprojector L1 state the Hackable Characteristic is considered Open Information when the trooper is inside the Hacking Area of an enemy."
-Equipment is private info on Holo1, so being a hacker is not open even in hacking area, as hackers don't have the hackable trait (unless it is a HI hacker)

>>53090301
Hackers are hackable. How else would a KHD killer hack hackers?

So does the D7/K'tinga more or less line up with the Constitution class for firepower? It seems like that's the case but I figure seeing as the Klingon ship is a dedicated warship it should probably outstrip the Feds.

>>53071111

The Federation tends to enjoy a comfortably large technology gap. Instead of using that to create warships that dominate everyone else's warships, they use it to create a generalist ship that can compete with everyone else's warships on an even field - and hilariously outstrip them in other areas, like scientific research.

So yes, the D7 comfortably lines up with the Connie for firepower. But the Connie is stocked with research labs, shuttlebays, and recreational facilities, whilst the D7 is basically bunk beds, rations and weapon emplacements all the way to the hull.

>>53071111
Yeah, they're meant to have been developed as counter to one another. The way I see it is that the K'tinga was built with more firepower than the Connie but she lacks the same defensive capabilities. It lends itself to the glass cannon feel of Klingon ships in the show.

Seriously, if you think Mirandas have a poor survival rate, try serving on a Bird of Prey.

>Naomi insisted on seeing us off, though she needed a cane to walk herself to the front door
>I didn't bother asking if she would be alright without me.
>She'd say yes
>So I let her be brave and kept the worried look off my face until I had turned around to leave.
>It was only then that I noticed Monkey had a black eye
>How'd that happen?
>The last time you were alone with Naomi, I tried roughoushing with your kids the way you do.
>Yeah? Which one did it?
>He looked at me levely
>Your daughter
>Caught me with her heel
>I turned back and shouted
>DAIKO! GOOD WORK!
>Mantis-san chuckled
>We headed off to the lands of the Lion.
>We took a boat up the coast, then hopped to a smaller vessel to sail up the River of the Hour of the Wolf and into the lands of the Kitsu
>We disembarked, and asked around for news.
>Monkey filled us in on what he had heard from the peasants while we were shopping.
>Seems like a few temples have been sacked recently. Lot of dead monks.
>Kitsuki-san grunted in mild surpise
>They've never done that before...
>He frowned then
>or have they...?
>What do you mean?
>He held up a finger while nibbling his fan
>Ooohhhh. Oh!
>OF COURSE!
>Kitsuki-san slapped his palm to his forehead
>I tapped my foot impatiently
>They HAVE taken out temples before, but the strife and rebellions were used to cover up the real cause of it!
>So, what then? This cell is waging war against the Brotherhood?
>Hrmm. Difficult to say. I would think they're just eliminating the most spiritual aware, in the area, making it less likely someone will recognize them for what they are.
>But it could also be the opening movements of some long term strategy I've yet to work out...
>Well, whatever they're planing won't matter once we bring the Emperors' wrath down upon them.
>That is very true, Mantis-san.
>Well then, shall we get going in the morning?
>Uh, where too Kitsuki-san?
>Shimoda village, obviously. Didn't you learn about the Kitsu?
>Mantis-san shook his head
>oh.

Hey Ishigaki. I only just caught up with the happenings now. My grandfather died on the 27th, late in the night, so I haven't been reading this. He liked it, a bit, when I told him of it, especially your descriptions of the babies.

I've been playing Wild Talents weekly for about three years now. It's by a wide margin my favorite system. What sort of game are you looking for?

>>53042792
a mix between stalker and worm, but generally realistic post apocalypse with super powers. Not exactly dark, but high consequence and.. well not realism, but believable?
