Is comitting suicide a valid action in roleplay? After all the crap that happened in the game I think that death will be my PC relief.

With prior approval of the DM and in service to the story, yes. As an expression of dissatisfaction with the game, no.

What is GW's obsession with Chaos and it always winning? I don't mean what you think I mean. It's cool that Chaos being one of the major factions gets its victories, and I'm not one of the baw-ers about Chaos being full of fanboys or whatever.
But 1d4chan is right. GW themselves are obsessed with fapping off Chaos at every chance they get. This wasn't always the case; it began around the mid-late 2000's, with the Storm of Chaos, and went on from there.
In case you didn't know the timeline:
>storm of chaos comes out, apocalyptic event that players waited for
>gw actually does something really cool and lets players decide how the lore goes through their own battles
>chaos ends up losing terribly
>gw deus ex machinas archaon everchosen to still somehow put the empire on the brink of collapse
>still gets his shit kicked in utterly
>old world is left in disarray but the forces of order triumph and begin the slow painful process of rebuilding
>somewhat hopeful but still dim future ahead, ripe for storytelling
but no
>gw expresses frustration that chaos lost, literally
>retcon storm of chaos, which was the last time a story progression event was well-received by fans, and instead brings the end times
>no player interaction
>everything sucks, chaos is unstoppable, no one survives except chaos skaven ogres and maybe lizardmen
>literally retcon the warhammer world into one of multiple universes and cycles
>world is continually destroyed by chaos and nothing can save it and gods are powerless but it keeps happening
>horribly received by fans, even chaos ones
>gw basically hit "chaos wins" button
>gw hears complaints and decides the best course of action is to retcon everything
>end times ends, age of sigmar begins
Age of Sigmar I feel needs no introduction, and you probably know without even playing it how terrible it is.
However, while Fantasy crashed and burned under Chaos fapping, 40k fans thought they were safe.
Boy, were they wrong.

The chaos gods were always the primary symbols of evil. To give them a weak position is to make the setting less gritty than they want it to be.

It's been asked but never really discussed in the respective Warhammer threads, and it's admittedly often defended by fans of Chaos who claim their faction never wins, but that's just false, and this issue spans both Warhammer universes. GW seems to forget people like the other sides, and in pursuit of hopeless nihilism just hits the "Chaos Victory" switch every time something goes against them or when the plot needs progressed.
Why don't they have the Imperium destroy Chaos? Or have the Tau take out all the Orks? Or have the Necrons appear and battle the Tyranids? Why is every "plot progression" event Chaos coming in and fucking everyone else up with 0 effort all while the fluff goes on and on about how unstoppable the Chaos gods are? How powerless and pitiful everyone else is to them?
Grimdark is one thing, but faction fapping and masturbatory nihilism is another, especially when they feel the need to constantly shit on all other factions.
Now most of the galaxy is teetering on collapse, and Chaos is riding strong, because this has happened before in the exact same way. Fuck, in 40k the only two things capable of beating Chaos - the Emperor and the Nids - are now being glossed over, footnoted, and made almost irrelevant, just like how in the End Times the entire Kingdom of Bretonnia, one of the most popular factions (if you didn't know), was wiped out by Chaos, and it was basically a single paragraph. Wiped out. Gone. Destroyed by Chaos, with nothing to show for it.
So I ask for discussion, then: why does Games Workshop insist on Chaos being at the forefront of everything? Why is every act of story progression done in the favor of Chaos? What is their obsession with hitting the "Chaos Wins" button every single time?If you need a more in-depth look on the subject and proof of the claims before you say "chaos always loses though stop whining imperial fanboy", check out 1d4chan. i know, it's shit, but it has good articles on this

I'm about to join a D&D campaign and I've decided to roll up a character with the most realistic biography I can think of, no matter how boring it may be.
So from my limited understanding of what life was like during the medieval period, most of the populace in a kingdom was involved in agriculture somehow. Which means a realistic background would likely have a character coming from a family of farmers or something like that, correct? Was it ever possible for a peasant to own a plot of land he worked on to help in raising a family? Or was it always assumed that all land always belonged to the local lord (or whatever noble title they took), and the peasants just worked the land as a "privilege" for protection? I was thinking my character would come from a humble background like this, as the son of a lowly serf, and eventually got drafted to take up arms for the local landowner's army or something like that.

First of all, do you know what the setting is? This should dictate what the exact politics of the given realm are and let you extrapolate from there. On occasion, a knight might be from a peasant family and though he himself might be considered a noble, neither the rest of his family nor his descendants would be, so if he owned that plot of land technically it would count as a family of peasants owning land?

>First of all, do you know what the setting is?
Forgotten Realms.

>>52886133
Peasants were practically slaves, owned by the noble.
Even if you got drafted, how would you get free to go in campaign's party?
Did you run away? You WILL be hunted. By a goddamn noble.
I understand your intent OP, but this is not the place for adventurers to come from.

New thread so reposting
I'm rereading the rules on withstand for sympathetic casting. Maybe I'm missing something here but the withstand for teleporting along your sympathy should never be an issue or anything else for that matter after adept level.
The default potency of teleporting is 4 at adept level. Even a weak connection has a withstand of only 3. You only need 1 for a spell to work.
