Depends a lot on your context. For mine I went with 5 non casters (barbarian, soldier, thief, hunter, warlord), 5 casters (wizard, sorcerer, warlock, druid, and priest), and 5 races (human, troll, goblin, elf, dwarf).

That said, your perfect class roster is going to depend pretty heavily on what your rules allow you to design content for, what's appropriate to the tone of your game, and so on. I split sorcerer and wizard because giving blasty magic and noclip magic to the same dude was excessive. I've got a distinct soldier class partly because my reach and AoO rules let me turn walking backwards slowly into a nigh game-breaking superpower. Warlord made it in because I'm doing something powers based and it's a popular class in that genre.

So maybe tell us a little more about the game itself.

It's single-player, with simple loot and crafting elements. Dungeons have big complex ecosystems and food chains. Currently I've got one dungeon with a flooded theme. There's streams, ponds, flooded rooms, and semi-aquatic life, which reflects in the combat encounters. Giant frogs, turtles, killer fish, poisonous reptiles, sentient fish men, and a hydra as the final boss. Except the hydra is free to hunt and wander the environment, creating a cat and mouse dynamic as you worm your way through the environment and gather materials to craft yourself good enough gear to actually kill the hydra. Not all of this is fully functioning and no where near completion. I'm trying to create several dungeons each with different themes.

What makes hoplites not soldiers?

>>51613668
They're a milita, they're drafted which is worse than Satan but not a terrible a Unions.

>>51613573
How could polish people be used as weapons?

>>51613524
It could work but so many lootcrate type things end up being terrible.

>lootcrate-esque

Deep suspicion.
99% of "lootcrate" schemes are scams.

Good goy, normal GW stuff isn't a scam you want to say?

He's going to bring the AdMech back in line when he declares MARTIAN LAW

>>51613454
Because he's not a primarch, and he was written (and voiced) by people who aren't part of GW.

Did Lorgar command Pod 6?

It looks meh.

It's a really lame WHFB esque game with lots of fiddly parts that are mandatory. Call me when there are more than four factions. Otherwise I am much better off playing Kings of War or something. That game at least lets me opt to not use ugly official figures.

Ehh I like the WoW-esque cartoon aesthetic of the humans I like skeletons even more personally. However what I don't like is all the order dial screens on the board, stat cards, unique dice, and only having two factions at launch.

Kings of war, old school whfb, look to me to provide a sleeker less cluttered system with a much larger possibility for more beautiful and much more customizable models on the board.

>>51612599
Just wing it.

Ask your player about the things you can't think for yourself.

Remember that most posters here never actually roleplay, they simply want to use this board to discuss whatever they like without caring about board culture.

Wealth, selfishness, willing to cross lines, willing to beat someone's teeth out for answers, lack of interest in goals that do not benefit the party or the overall goal...

Greed.

Adventurers get rare treasure, get to loot villain without prosecutions, enjoy privileges and fame.

It took place during the civil war and one of the main NPCs was a Pixie confederate officer that referred to the PCs as shit eating slaves of the union the PCs weren't even aiding the union in anyway

Like the anime GATE except instead of the JSDF, it's cyberpunk & instead of generic fantasy world, it's fantasy world full of monstergirls. Harpies with plasma rifles, lamia with beam swords, etc..

It was a private dimension serving as colossal magic stables housing all kinds of magical farm animals (like intelligent cows shooting lightnings out of their udders). The PC's were gongfermors tasked with taking out their shit, which was an incredibly heroic suicide mission. One of the players (his class was Devil's Advocate, and yes, that's an actual class) had to seduce the emperor of pigs with exotic dancing at one point.

It was exactly like it sounds. But you can't say something even remotely close has ever been done before or since.

The 81st page should always be blank except for the phrase "THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK" on it.

>>51610764
No, it shouldn't. 160 pages is a nice enough size.

Ada Lovelace wasn't the first programmer either, but people do love legends.
