Depends on the game, if it's a CCG then you should expect worst-case-scenario world series of poker types because they crave the thrill of competition beyond all social interaction
but if its a friendly RPG or board game or something then wtf pal I'm doing you a fucking favor by being here so don't give me that attitude

>>55196457
My friends and I will talk mad shit to one another, but against strangers is a no go.

I think as long as you explain to the other players that your cleric doesn't worship any sort of healing god and therefore isn't going to be using cure spells all day every day, then it's fine. The important part is making it clear beforehand, so the group doesn't hear that you're making a cleric, and build their own characters around the assumption that you'll be healing.

Granted, depending on the edition, you might be able to heal anyway, but for 5e especially it wouldn't be hard to play a War Cleric or something and forgo such things entirely. Why you wouldn't play a Paladin at that point is questionable, but eh.

>my experience
I'm so very sorry that you have never found anyone but rollplayers to game with. Sincerely and from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry.

To answer your original question, though, I prefer them to powergamers. Powergamers ruin immersion, every time.

>>55196175
Last session I turned down powerful items because it was from someone my character hated. I always put what my character would do first and what makes me powerful second.

>>55196082
Don't see why not. Loads of cool settings run on bullshit.

I was watching Armoured Hunter Mellowlink today and that has a guy on foot taking down mechs with his giant antitank rifle - including in melee combat using the hydraulic spike bayonet.

>hydraulic spike bayonet
You cannot believe how many times I've rodeo'd an enemy Titan in TF2 only to wish I had access to a fucking pile driver.

>>55196855

Wait, what? When did they add titans?

>Ur-Dragon visibly annoyed. Pretty much taves over olivia and direct all of her removal towards me. Dude amazingly recovers with toppdeccking a bit o land. From there the rest of the game became an uphill battle between me and a guy with two decks. Meanwhile Onmath player just sits there in a corner, maybe meditating about the series of events that led to this travesty of an already gay format.
>Ur-Dragon finally lands and get blown out into smithereens.
>What do you know: He and her girlfriend are left standing to battle for the booster.
>I quietly pack my stuff and stay to see how this unfolds.
>They start making out.
>On the flip side: I won the consolation promo (a full-art Memnite)
>I gave it to Onmath as an apology and tell me to team up next time.

Why does her weight matter to the story

you could run Traveller. it handles S.T.A.L.K.E.R. setting pretty well, although anomalies will need special referee handling.

I plan on running a STALER game at some stage - pic related some of the minis I plan to use

>>55195582
I loved Aberrant, but the system leaves something to be desired - it's 90s era white wolf. Wild Talents works well IMO.

>>55195582
HERO, FATE, GURPS, Mutants and Masterminds, Villains and Vigilantes.

Thanks, I'll check into these systems.

>With this in mind... how has Tzeentch not won already?
>Implying he hasn't

>>55195216
Perhaps he has and you don't just know.
Either way, thinking about it isn't going to do you any good, stop philosophising and start fighting.
Khorne needs his skulls.

>>55195216
>How has Zenny failed?
By being in a setting that never actually succeeds at changing in any real fashion.

Tzeentch has no hope. He has plans within plans and plans around those plans and none of it matters because nothing ever comes of it.

Zenny's in hell dude.

Give them this magic skeleton key that opens ANY locked door, when a player uses it take them to another room 1 on 1, describe the fucking terrifying experience of being sucked into a shadowfell-like world, alone, with weird noises, they eventually find the exit and get out, but are freaked the fuck out. Now... they have this item, they won't want to use it ever again until it's their absolute last resort. Every time they use it again, make it even creepier until their character just have to make willpower/wisdom saves (whatever system you're using) or their character starts becoming insane

>>55194906
While they're all talking amongst themselves, trying to solve [x] situation, I just quietly and slowly place a nightwalker mini on the map and roll its initiative.

>>55194906
I bring various weaponry and dangerous chemical agents to the table and torture players with them randomly.

Helps to keep them chained up to the table. Really adds to the suspense. Offing one occasionally is another good trick. The best is finding a new player to sit in with the old ones after you've told them that if anyone talks the new guy gets brained.

I always brain the new guy anyway but that little spark of hope is so important to a good, desperate scare.

I'm not familiar with it, but MHR with any one of its many fan-made point-buy chargen methods, or literally picking a path down the random roller with GM permission, both work great for running a superhero game.

>>55194642
Icons is pretty good. It's made by the same dude who did M&M, so I'm not sure if it's up your alley.

M&M is a mess in some areas but is all-round the best supers system available; I'd say M&M ties with Wild Talents in the supers gaming realm.

Best of the bunch, I've just lost patience for the complexity of M&M and Wild Talents.

The Drukhari strike first! For Commorragh!

Shamelessly reasking

Anyone know if Pete mentioned anything aside from no SoBs? Like about the existing Xenos or future Primarchs?

Dumb question, but I'm new to the army: Starting a genestealer cult army and I got some models from the Deathwatch Overkill set, including what looks like an acolyte hybrid with a mining laser. I'm looking at the index, though, and I'm only seeing neophytes being able to take mining lasers. Is it supposed to be a neophyte despite having 3 arms, or am I missing something?

>What's your favorite commander that just isn't quite good enough, and why?

Intet the Dreamer. It's Dragon Tribal, and she's a 6/6 flyer which is big enough that I've won with Commander Damage on Numerous occasions, but she doesn't really do anything for Dragon Tribal besides occasionally casting a big beasty for free.

Still my favorite deck though!

>>55193948
Yay.

But SOTDL is barely fleshed out as is Anon. Its more of a 'basis' for a setting, than an actual setting in and of itself.
