At this point only detached grognards hate on GW.

>>51599921
I don't hate them; I just think their recent fluff is fucking awful.
Also still bitter about WHFB.

>>51599921
hatred is all I have left

Change the stakes and stop being a pussy.

"Oh you know that NPC you really liked? Yeah, the villain killed him in cold blood. and he's now going after everyone you know"
Light a fire under their arse so that the villain is their main focus. Remember that people respond more to a personal threat then a universal one, they'll be more invested in protecting their friends then protecting the world.

Have the villian be someone they will likely never physically meet. Like the king of a enemy kingdom.

>>51598907
Sounds to me like the villain needs to get out there and kick their ass a bit. Don't kill them all, but make it a fight they will have to run from or get very lucky to beat.
Make them appreciate his power a bit.

You didn't ruin anything. You just played the game.
Beating probability once in a while is also part of the fun

>>51592406

This. If your GM is upset because you outplayed him, remind him that he's not there to play against you.

>>51592337
As a GM, I have long since given up trying to actually plan anything. I have an end goal, a start position, and then let the players get to that end point however they can, filling in stuff along the way with improv and pretend that was my idea the whole time.

>errant-questor is being delayed
Ugh, this is the worst. By the time he arrives I'll be burried neck-deep in work...

So, what happened to the new SC battletome? Can't find it on GW's site.

I claim this thread in the name of Nurgle

>>51573942
There's a shit ton of editions. I've only ever played Runequest 6 (now Mythras), and it was fine. I'm not a big fan of the combat maneuvers, but as a skill system I much prefer it over games like D&D or Pathfinder.

Runequest is pretty heavily associated with Glorantha, so you'll find many people turned off just because of that.

>>51574460
I think it's a little much to say that people would be turned off by Glorantha, since the only parts that could be called offensive are the duck people. But yeah, it's definitely not a selling point, since it's a comparatively dull setting. People are not exactly running in the streets in order to get their hands on Glorantha stuff.

>>51574537
I can only speak from experience.

How many deaths do you average per Only War session, on the PC side?
at least one, right?

>>51564922
The last OW game I was in had more PC deaths from player turnover than actual combat. Was pretty disappointing when I joined on the communicated expectation of lethal combat, then found PCs were bubble-wrapped and the GM was reducing NPC damage just in case.

>>51565004
I had one of those go on for too long, too. I eventually quit after none of us had even taken a wound that I didn't intentionally neglect my save against... in ten sessions. As Guard with regular flak armor and no vehicle.

Just started a new campaing in Kingdom Death. We hunted a gorm for our first hunt, and killed him on his death blow card. We are going back for more, trying to make that sick nasty Riot Mace by LY 3

>>51549582
Thanks! That's good to know.

>>51550480
kingdom death seems like such a dope game especially since i was roleplaying and dungeon crawling before board games took over my free time
but man that fucking price tag

It is 876 years since the (First) Battle of Lincoln, fought during a turbulent period of civil war in England history called The Anarchy. King Stephen was captured during the battle, imprisoned, and effectively deposed while his mother Empress Matilda ruled for a short time.

The forces of Stephen had been besieging Lincoln Castle but were themselves attacked by a relief force loyal to Matilda and commanded by Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester, Matilda's half-brother. The Angevin army consisted of the divisions of Robert's men, those of Ranulf, Earl of Chester and those disinherited by Stephen, while on the flank was a mass of Welsh troops led by Madog ap Maredudd, Lord of Powys, and Cadwaladr ap Gruffydd. Cadwaladr was the brother of Owain, Prince of Gwynedd, but Owain did not support any side in The Anarchy. Stephen's force included William of Ypres; Simon of Senlis; Gilbert of Hertford; William of Aumale, Alan of Richmond and Hugh Bigod but was markedly short of cavalry.

As soon as the battle was joined, the majority of the leading magnates fled the king. Other important magnates captured with the king were all men of respected baronial families; it had only been earls who had fled.

Even as the royal troops listened to the exhortations of Stephen's lieutenant, Baldwin fitz Gilbert, the advancing enemy was heard and soon the disinherited Angevin knights charged the cavalry of the five earls. On the left Earl William Aumale of York and William Ypres charged and smashed the poorly armed, 'but full of spirits', Welsh division but were themselves in turn routed 'in a moment' by the well-ordered military might of Earl Ranulf who stood out from the mass in 'his bright armour'. The earls, outnumbered and outfought, were soon put to flight and many of their men were killed and captured. King Stephen and his knights were rapidly surrounded by the Angevin force.

Turn Mantle into a toggle at will and Spark into once per short rest and it's only marginally better than storm at that point.

I wonder who could be behind this post.

Some friends are convinced PF is actually good and they think 5e is babby's first D&D, how are they wrong?

Hoping to roll Ordo Minoris.

I don't think that would help.

>Fanwank them as being the same thing since They are named the same and operate on similar enough principles?
That is pretty much why it would be a problem, it is pretty common trait for Wuxia, Xianxia, and other super martial arts settings to have using multiple different Ki techniques be the worst kind of suicide for a variety of reasons.

Since the Ki techniques from one jump are likely to be similar to those from another jump you could end up using two different ones from the moment you enter your second jump that uses this kind of technique. Even if you don't you could still run into the problem very quickly.

>>51609080
I think tales of demons and gods has a perk that lets you tweak cultivation methods. Maybe use that for xianxia stuff.

Okay I think I see where you're coming from.

How about toggle from young justice To turn the different techniques off and on as you need them? there is also a limiter coat from resident evil, and the locket from girl genius that can do things like that.

Made the bad decision of posing the question at the end of the last thread, so I'll post it here instead:

What's a good 3rd party adventure path? We've already played (and died on) Way of the Wicked.

What's the best class to gestalt with a low-Cha Barbarian who begins level 1 with a fly speed.

It feels like all my old friends are gone. I remember the times where I was bored or lonely and I would revisit my old character sheets and nostalgia about adventures long past as I read their journal entries.

I really regret duplicating and sorting my sheets then deleting the year old originals.

2E S&P actually made it sort of doable in that you could basically build pretty much anything out of tweaking Thief and Bard except some of the more extreme bonuses like grandmastery.

You know you can just try other fantasy games, right?

So what is so bad about the Custodes? 40kfag here, I was kinda interested in getting into the game cheaply with a mostly-plastic low-model-count army. Apparently they're top cheese, what gives?

>>51604095
They're not, it's literally one anon raging/baiting about them.

They're excellent in close combat (really only with one specific combo on the shield-captain) and they have good shooting from their vehicles and jetbike, but they're absurdly expensive points-wise and every single loss will hurt you dearly. Oh, and they DON'T have an assault vehicle.

At the end of the day, Custodes are T5 2W terminators. You will die very hard if you fuck up, and you are very slow.

>>51604095
I heard some say the Captain with rerollable 3++, EW and S10 fist is Primarch tier for about 65% of the cost or something.
