I have no feelings about this one way or another. Why don't you tell us your opinions instead of asking us to give you ours?

>the she-orc isn't bigger and stronger than the ranger

It's shit.

>>51508937
I do not care for the artstyle. Aside from that, I am too uninformed to give an opinion on the actions of an apparent she orc.

Anyone remember what the object is that is a door to an infinite plane but time is like super fast there? I cant remember what it is from.

Jumpers!

But why would you even bother tho

No offense, but I doubt someone who isn't a really good writer/orator could do something like that justice.

>14 different elemental kingdom

Are you legitimately autistic?

>>51508364
Do you have some special reason to focus on the "14" part, OP? Some mithology you're ripping off of or some grand quest involving exactly 14 shards of whatever and such? Because at first glance that's a big turn-off for any outsider(ha!) looking in.

Many of your so-called elements are just plain dumb, namely Mist, Lava, Crystal, Dust, and Water/Ice being separated. Each of those is too shallow to be an actual theme for a realm, and some of them are a straight-out downgrade of Earth, an already existing one. Try to sum up them in about 6 or 8 elements and give the people in each country the possibility specialize in the excluded ones as subschools in addition to the base land element.

Not directly but I have had players sympathise with those beneath the BBEG and fully understand *why* those people would follow him willingly. My campaign currently resolves around a kobold necromancer bringing together the scattered clans of kobolds, who are a severely oppressed and prejudiced race despite being the natives of the area the games take place in. He's trying to forge them a nation of their own but is doing it in a very openly evil manner. Most of the PC's sympathise with the plight of the kobolds, but know the BBEG has to be stopped for the kobolds to have a *real* chance of making a new home for themselves peacefully. The PC's are trying to be the super good guys, bring down the BBEG, stop their army from hurting kobold civilians and set up a new life for the kobolds after the war.

>"BBEG"

hurk.

>>51507395
But would races that oppress kobolds let them build country for themself peacefully?

>cestree DMPC is a healslut

Shameful.

a necessary component of the game premise

MAID for instance requires a GMPC in the form of the master, if you didn't have that character it wouldn't really work

What is the best domain/mystery for a support cleric/oracle?

Party already has two good martials and two good spellcasters, so I don't need to worry about damage or tanking.

The ways I'd fix the above problems are the following:

>lack of speed
Simply making most tyranid "infantry" into beasts ruleswise, would fix their speed problems imedeately. Especially that of the warriors.
Also, to help them to get into melee, perhaps tyranids should be able to make some sort of "disorganized" assaults from deep strikes?

>instinctive behavior
Remove the stuff about the nids eating each other if they fail the instinctive behavior test, and it's already way less crippling to them.

>Warriors
Make them Toughness 5, W 2 Sv +4 would make them instantly more resilient and thus less likely to being insta killed before they can do anything. Also, by changing them to beasts, they could reasonably keep up with the gaunts they are supposed to reign over.

>Lack of biomorphs
Easy, bring them back. Most of the units still have them in their sprues. You just need to give them rules again.

>lack of AA.
Another easy fix. Give Hive Guards Skyfire. They shoot at things based on what the swarm sees, not their own eyes. It makes no sense lorewise for them to be unable to shoot at flying things just as well as they shoot at things that are on the ground.

These changes would imo, make the Tyranids an army that can actually stand a change again, without being reliant solely on the retarded flyrant circus.

>>51505242
I agree. I have nothing more to add. Goodbye

>>51505298
Well, this was a nice and productive thread.

Now, how do we force GW to enact these changes?

Alternately Titan World exists if you aren't allergic to Powered By The Apocalypse games. Make lots of character sheets.

DoA. Userbase is too small. Paranoia's setting won't change between additions and any new rules will be ignored because the game is based a round doing so when it would be amusing. A new edition couldn't bring anything of merit to the briefing room.

>>51504995
>Paranoia's setting won't change between additions
They shunted out commies for terrorists (though the communists still exist, just only as the joke parody), and added some cybernetics that clones apparently have. Mass surveillance-type shit.

Oh, and IntSec is now a Secret Society, as opposed to a Service Group.

by having them be flexible, mature, and kind presumably

>>51504292
... Very fucking easily.
Biggest step I've found is making them respectful.
That alone will change like 95% of people's opinion.

>>51504292
One possibility: This character WAS like that, until they got their ass handed to them after diving into a fight where they were severely outnumbered and got the hint that they're not invincible.
Once someone who's practically invulnerable is taken from the brink of death and back, they begin to appreciate how the little people without such powers have to deal with things not going their way. Bonus points if the injury is serious and takes months if not years to recover from.
Assuming this character decides to grow a pair and reflect on their assholishness rather than sperg out, they come to respect
>Doctors
>Other superheroes
>Non-powered 'everyday' heroes like firefighters
They get to reflect on, say, a villain's speech as to how selfish the hero is, or their injury causes people to speak honestly about the hero, now that he/she's off the pedestal.
If they have friends or relatives, these people will tell the hero that they don't need to fight alone or act super-tough to put on a show, and that their value doesn't come from just being a badass, but from being a good person.

Reminds me of Pohl's Gateway. How would manual off-world mining by colonists solve problems?

Unfortunately the US is already rejecting the UN. Having the UN fight wars would certainly delegitimize it further.

I think you could do well to invert the situation.

All the big unions and groups are falling apart. States and counties are seceding where they can while sea rise drowns the rest. Yahoos and hooligans roam the streets, preaching anarchy and freedom, amassing massive followings.

You and your crew are what's left of the United Nations. You've come into possession of individual reports from around the world, that added together, make it clear the world is doomed.

Are you bad enough to raid the Texas badlands to rescue NASA scientists, do you have the courage to steal the secrets of the ESA, do you have the liver fortitude to outdrink the Russian cosmonaut who holds the secret of cryostasis to save some small piece of Humanity?

>>51503214

The idea was that it could solve overpopulation by leaving those sent off to the mining colonies there and having those mining colonies develop into new settlements. The population reduction would cause a lessened strain on the environment from human activity, and the mined resources would be getting transferred to earth at an exploitative rate.

To get to world unification the U.N already fought many wars - and won them all. They then went fully totalitarian in order to quickly push their agenda with as little resistance as possible. This version of the UN would have to be one that found a means to dissolve national borders through force, propaganda, and tight managerial programs over those already under their power, so to maintain their legitimacy and keep their citizens "thinking correctly". But they screwed up when millions died on some of the first voyages out to relocate people to the new colonies. That was'nt something that they were able to cover up, and the rise of a new independent media, several former nation states and ethnic groups uniting and rejecting the U.N, and etc, caused them to lose legitimacy and their order to fracture.

As you implied, in this world the UN constantly losing legitimacy and finding more resistance due to their attempts at strong arming those who resist them into submission. Their methods worked until the relocation disasters, but they have not been able to adapt to their new situation very well. Corporations are doing what they can to take advantage of this so to try to become the new dominant powers.

If ever a weapon strikes your melee weapon, the attacker feels a sharp pain as if they were hit, even though they weren't.

Girdle of Itching. Provides aditional armour around the body and legs, but causes the wearers genitals to constantly, mildly itch. Whenever scratching the itch would be inconvenient, the DM may request a willpower test around every three minutes or the character will be compelled to scratch themselves. Sucessfully scratching the itch only provides temporary relief; in the next four minutes, the DM may ask again

>>51503103
You've made the fatal mistake. The image is more interesting than the post.

Crossbow of Fire Ball. No matter what you load it with, it fires a random ball with the same ballistic properties as a normal arrow.
Yes, including firing a bowling ball at the same speed, with the same relative lack of air resistance.
On the other hand, it could be a ping-pong ball instead.
Save this for a weird campaign of course.
