I'm intrigued by the idea of playing a superhero based rpg, but most people here seem more interested in standard fantasy
I took a look at the Heroes system and Champions and they seemed ok if a little complex, I've heard that the DC book is one of the best though. What do you guys think?
Also general Superhero /tg/ I guess

It's great but an easy to abuse system if the players want to and you let them get away with it.
Don't play with powergamers.

Marvel Heroic *is* good.
What kind of RPGs do you think ancient cultures played at their tabletop, /tg/?

All depends on how you play it my friend. Also on how concerned the group is with "balance." The ideas you are pitching could easily break a combat focused game, but could MAKE a role play focused one.

I like Wizards. But damn.
Why was Horus the favorite of the Emperor? He wasn't the strongest, Angron, Russ, Magnus or Sanguinius was. He wasn't the smartest, Gulliman, or Perturabo were. He wasn't the most magical, Magnus, Lorgar or Russ was. He wasn't the most loyal obviously... Why was Horus chosen as the warmaster?

Horus wasn't the absolute best at anything but he was well rounded and beloved by all his peers (with the exception of Corax).

Given a lul in-between campaigns I've had a think about a setting in the Warhammer 40k universe that I think hasn't been touched upon to a great extent, and one which, not I've sunk my claw into it, I wish to explore more and more. This setting, is the Unification of Terra.
As the glitteringly savage Thunder Warriors march from the depths of the Emperor's underground labs, resplendant in golden armour, ready to rip Terra from the wretched, corrupt hands of the techno-barbarian states. To be faced with endless hordes of mind-slaved enemy footsoldiers battling through the carcass' of the cities left behind after the Old Night, archeotech weapons carving lightning and darkfire blasts through the air. All to reunite the world for the glory of the Master of Mankind Himself.
Rhetoric aside, I was inspired by pic related, and while I understand it's fan-made and probably not entirely canon, I can't pass up the chance to explore this 'possible timeline' So far I've almost completed a base-outline for the Ursh Empire (Seeing as that'd be the first place that would be invaded thanks to them surrounding the Himalayan Fortress) And I've got a vague idea of how to stat up a Thunder Warrior, but I thought I'd put the idea to the floor and see if anyone wanted to trade notes, inform or contribute in some constructive way.

Now I understand that there are rules for Mk1 Power Armour in the Rites of Battle book, they also mention in notation that both the strength bonus given, and the weight of the armour vary. The former, depending on the specific use the suit had, and the latter on how much leg armour was given. But what would cause such variation? Were there different varients of suits for different kinds of Thunder Warrior? I didn't even think there were any variations on the standard "I get in close and kill shit" kind of Thunder Warrior.
Makes me wonder about the kind of vehicles and tech the TW armies had avaliable to them as well, since I can't find anything on it myself.

I will admit it's a lot of fun world-building considering there's so little fluff to go off of. Vague mentions of certain nation-states, leaders and locations gives me a lot of freedom, but I thought it's be fun to let you guys wade in on the subject itself as well.

Are you talking like... a homebrew modification similar to 30K?
Except, y'know. 29K. Or something

I want to try to get into the mythic/epic fantasy setting of Age of Sigmar. What are some good books to read or videos to watch or whatever that would help introduce the details of the setting?

My players love taking 5mins to roleplay cooking and feasting during their long rests! They have a Halfling Rogue who is a good cook, and I'll often give them small buffs and some Temporary hit points on a good cooking utensils check. I even have ingredient ranks so the higher ranked the ingredients the better the buffs and Temp HP.

>Create Food and Water

I strongly suspect my GM is planning on having my all magic diet come back to bite me in the ass, but acting on that suspicion would be meta gaming so I just keep doing it.

Alright, so here's the story:
>Was helping a friend build his Pathfinder world
>Spot a few warhammer fantasy boxes, ask about it. He paints the models and uses them for display, mostly.
>He explains that he has 'a small' warhammer 40k army he never finished, asks me if I want it.
>Never played W4k before, but I've always been interested in starting, the price scared me off.
>We agree to a trade, and he drops a box full of these things on my lap.
Now I know that the rules set he used is drastically out of date, so I know that, if I wanted to play I'd at least need a new one of those.
Now I'm wondering what I should do with all of these; do you guys think I have enough units to play? Should I just sell it all and be happy with the profit? Should it all just sit on my shelf like my mageknight army?
I took several pictures, this first one is of (I think) Dark Eldar units, they're plastic. More pics to come.
