I dont have any stories of being a shitty GM killing players cause im jealous & insecure. I did kill one players character because the player made the choice to sacrifice himself to hold off some ogres, letting others escape, before the castle they were in exploded. He knew doing so was suicide, I told him upfront, but he wanted to test out a new character concept & he felt fulfilled with the story of his dead character.

I should've seen that coming. and those traps aren't even nasty.

There's a locked door which can be opened by one of the five levers. If you pull the wrong one, a hammer will smash your hand.
There is no right lever, they all activate the trap. The door is magical and is opened by a codeword.

>>51833273
they cant jump or leap, or at least not safely, but they can certainly run at high speeds, even over rough terrain

just watch out for rolling logs

>>51833282
generally yes, however keep in mind there are 2 versions, armored and scout. The armored sentinel is far heavier and less agile.

here is some (somewhat incoherent) info

It's an AT-ST rip-off, it can do whatever AT-ST can.

>I know but I want to know how it would work under a physical observation.
It wouldn't. Chicken-legged designs are pure rule of cool taken from Star Wars and have absolutely no way to exist in any way shape or form because they absolutely screw up the locomotion of actual birds.

In the end, it's 40k. No one gives a fuck about what they can do as long as it remains cool. Birds can leap, so can these.
Worst case scenario you're with some autists, then abuse the fact you're a Chaos-y guy and say it's because of the warp presence angering the machine spirit inside.

>”Alright, so there's people we need to kill, we're going to need to find a new safe house, and-”
>Commlink rings. It's our Fixer
>”You guys turned him down?!”
>GM's still mad we turned down his job. Fuck him, we're off the rails
>”Yeah, and next time you want to give us a job, get us something that will PAY.”
>Click
>Packing up, just got my team into the secret garage. Commlink rings again
>”What do you want this time, Fixer?”
>”Look outside.”
>KNIGHT FUCKING ERRANT HAS MY SAFE HOUSE SURROUNDED

For those unfamiliar, in 3rd Edition, KE was the big guys on the block for corp security, backed by the megacorp specializing in big boom. And they were surrounding my fucking safe house because I turned down a job. God Dammit.

>”They've promised to call them off if you do this run.”
>”...alright. And you can't negotiate them down?”
>”They're really on you about this.”
>”NO SHIT. Alright... They win. Have them send someone to meet with me at workshop.”
>GM has this smug fucking look on his face. He thinks he's won. He's wrong.
>”Alright, they'll send Mr. Johnson, and-”
>”Fuck that. Have them send someone who can actually make decisions. If I'm negotiating my freedom here, I don't want to be talking to the courier.”
>They wind up sending the fucking VP of MegaMedia. Flying over in a helicopter
>Jesus GM was smug. He thought he had us over a barrel
>Meanwhile, I'm prepping
>Send my team out in my favorite car through the secret exit
>As far as the GM is aware, they're just leaving bugging out so they don't get seen
>In reality, they're making sure a path is clear for me and my motorcycle after shit hits the fan

Continue. Sounds interesting.

>I'm keeping my plans secret. If GM had the chance to plan around me, he'd come up with more bullshit
>Do simple shit. “Can we assume I have silver spray paint?” “Can I take apart the remote to my Trideo Projector?” “Can I disassemble my computer?” “I still have my biomonitor, right?”
>GM thinks this is odd, but doesn't see how this could help me, OK's it. Still thinks he's won.

>VP arrives. Meet him in my apartment above the workshop. I'm all ready. I have a notecard I prepped to flip.
>”I'm glad you've decided to do the smart thing.”
>”So am I. Which is why you'll be leaving, and giving a general order to delete my records from your database.”
>Confusion.jpg
>”Fixer said you were taking the job.”
>”Yeah, I lied to Fixer. You're going to do what I say here.”
>”We have the building surrounded, and my bodyguard could kill you before you get two shots off with whatever pistol you have.”
>I laugh. GM has been cheesy this whole damn campaign. It was my turn
>”You don't understand. I'm not trapped in here with you. You're trapped in here with me!”
>Flip the notecard, explaining what I had. I'd taken a memory tube from my computer, spray-painted it silver, and glued a button from my remote onto the end and a biomonitor onto the other end.
>I'd made a fake detonator and just pulled it out

No, that's impossible.

>>51831041
Yeah. In particular, it seems like a good formula for a board game.

Yellow is explodiest, not sure about others though

Orange is the scariest. It reminds them of the Hunter. One time a very brave and foolish Ork painted his equipment orange in an attempt to make himself scarier than any other. He died of shock when he looked in the mirror. Ever since then, there's been an unspoken rule to not even mention the scariest color.

>>51830817

Yellow is wealthiest.

>>51830791

Orange is yellow (wealth) + red (speed) = the most explosive
Brown is the shittiest

Pokemon card thread is in Pokemon /vp/

I'm sure there are some tips you can learn here, anon, but you may have better luck there

>>51830560

Why do you think your forced meme is funny?

>>51830384
Is this bait?

Nahiri can turn excessive lands in your hand into more gas, digs down into your deck to find answers in colors that are really bad at that, and that -2 ability covers quite alot.

Welcome to the Brotherhood of ForeverDM's anon.
You can get your complimentary business cards at the catering table.

>>51829435
I just want to play (´･ω･`)

>>51829410
All of those characters you have written up, a good 80% of them better than anything your players will ever come up with ever? Shelf 'em.
You really want to explore how an elf would tackle this pirate campaign? Better hope someone thought like you did.
You want to experience a story in which you do not know all of the branching paths beforehand? hahaha.
Pull up a chair, anon. You're here forever, until the day you quit tabletop.
The icing on this curse cake? One day, you may actually get to be a player in another person's game. But by this time, you will be so stuck in your methods that half the shit they do will trigger you, and you won't have fun.

>>51829253
It barely slows the main deck down.

>>51829253
Isn't blue reserved for ritual monsters?

I'm intrigued. Beautiful choice of art, OP.

It's very much a love it or hate it system, and the whole table needs to be on board or it easily falls apart. Try it at least once, if you have serious problems just getting through character creation with your group, chances are that too many of you fall on the "hate it" side and it won't work for you.

>>51828885
Adding on to this: Understanding what makes a good aspect is ESSENTIAL. You want something that in theory can be called on by both you and the GM to help/hinder you rather than having Awesome Aspect 1, 2 and 3 and Token GM Aspect.

Stealing one from a review I read a while back: It's tempting to give Marvel's Thor something like Magic Fucking Hammer Mjolnir, but that sort of aspect is entirely on-sided; instead have it be something like Mjolnir, The Source of My Might. That way, it can be used by both you to help Thor (With my magic hammer, I [X]!) as well as hurt him (The villains words fill you with doubt, and the hammer now feels unbearably heavy).

How does the whole "characters don't really advance" work out?

>>51817505
Yeah, I really liked this and Stormwrackand whatever the other ones were.

>>51817505
I like the idea of building classes, weapons, monsters etc. around a biome, but I'm not enthusiastic about writing rules.

this book had spells more broken than epic level handbook shit, it had cool rules but the spell section was one of the first things i banned right away so dropping the ridiculous power level of shit like this

https://dndtools.net/spells/frostburn--68/frostfell--1313/

would be my first priority
