Fuck off, brony-wannabe.

>>51484766
To be honest a lot of the problem I have as GM is when players will just roll the attack check before they even bother trying to take a moment to think of options worthy of asking questions over. Last player who complained about having no options left the game because thy couldn't be damned to ask or even look up basic questions about the combat system when they had the pdf of the freakin manual as well as every damn supplement.

>>51484766
They're just asking questions....
They don't want to commit to something beforehand that's all.
Probs shy or scared of you.
Judging by this, I'm betting on scared of you.

I wanted to say that I like this thread, although I have no idea how to developer the idea further.

Listen carefully and learn.

I want to FUCK that elf slave.

Hero, Mutants and Masterminds, Champion, GURPS Supers.

All of them have the tools to do it, but it's going to require a lot of GM work.

>And where getting hit matters, because you aren't just a pile of hit points.

Name me one fight where a character's wound has mattered at all.

For fuck's sake, there's a containment thread for you faggots already. Stop acting like bronies, jojofags.

Is ineptitude a stat?

I meant more along the lines of fluff, but yeah I guess... His charisma is definitely abysmal.

>>51483907
The monsters he hunts are less of a literal beasts and more of a threat-to-society (real or perceived) individuals.

What's the deal with Pandemonium? In Milton, it's the capital city of Hell. In Planescape, it's a bunch of windy caves. It should have been an urban layer of the Abyss or the capital city in Nessus.

>>51483532
Is there somewhere I can read up on all those advanced metaphysics?

Pandemonium is the plane of insanity, plain and simple. It represents the interpretation of CN/CE as stark, raving barminess. Its winds drive the lowliest human and the mightiest of celestials mad.

I like Pandemonium's utterly alien environments (windswept tunnels where gravity is oriented towards the walls, and rivers float in the middle). It is easily the Outer Plane with the most harrowing environment to physically travel through. Its bottommost layer, Agathion, also happens to be an ideal prison and vault for many creatures and valuable objects, due to the sheer isolation of its air pockets.

The following sources contain the best overview of Pandemonium and its many sites, from the lunatic carnival called the Cynosure to the mirror-filled Cavern of the Self:
• 2e Planes of Chaos: The Book of Chaos, pages 80-101
• 2e Planes of Chaos: The Travelogue, pages 32-39
• 2e Dead Gods, pages 104-115
• 2e Doors to the Unknown, pages 40-45
• 3.0 Manual of the Planes, pages 96-99
• 3.0 Bastion of Broken Souls, pages 15-19
• 3.5 Planar Handbook, pages 157-158; 171-172; 177-178

There's 7th Sea, but it's "swashbuckling and sorcery," so it might not be what you're looking for, if you're going for a historical setting.

>>51483132
Almost anything would work, desu. I'll check it out. I think that historical would be good, but I could fall back on GURPS if I absolutely had to.

all flesh must be eaten had a pirates book iirc

>>51482685
>Having issues with robots
>In greco-roman setting
I would recommend learning the history of the word 'robot' and expand upon what you find.

>>51482685
>Is there a way to believably incorporate humanoid, sentient artificial intelligence into an Ancient Greco-Roman setting?

No, unless you count lolmagic as believable.

>>51484264
>Historical illiterate
>>51482746
>Not historically illiterate

Just do an alt-history where Hero of Alexandria was way more successful and famous and as a result steam-powered robots are everywhere.

Normally, I would dump a great deal of the story here, to drum up interest, but I will only do so if it interests people directly, since the story is so long.

I've also commissioned artwork for the story from several /tg/ drawfriends, and I'll be uploading it to the gallery.

See Eversor's take on one of the two perspective characters, specifically the church's head Paladin, Axiopistos.

The cloak badges of the two perspective Paladins.


When I was writing this story, I wanted to put as much emphasis as possible on the villains, since I feel that fantasy villains are often quite hackneyed and one-dimensional. The villains in this story have their own backgrounds, their own personalities, and their own agendas, and their internal struggles get almost as much pagetime as the heroes'.

I also wanted to examine the topic of religion in a setting like the FR, which has immense importance placed upon religions and deities, so I made the party of Paladins, mostly so I could examine the relationship between them and the less militant parts of their church. The Aasimar's grandfather runs his church, and he's a major player in the story.

Him in his early days. Also a /tg/ pic.

The builds are in a CherryTree file which is easy to convert into this .pdf.

Anything under Mass Effect hasn't been put in the place yet and the builds are pretty short of fluff/details.

Order is also a bit subject to change.

>>51481750
The Imaginos body, from Gunm. It's very expensive, but has utterly insane raw physical power and is constantly evolving to improve itself. Alita, the only canon Imaginos, is fast enough that when she runs the things in front of her blueshift and the things behind her redshift. I'm too lazy to do the math on how fast you'd have to be to experience that, but I know it's a considerable fraction of the speed of light. She's also durable enough to withstand impacts at that speed, and the two combined means she can strike with insane force. Lifting strength isn't so great, though, just because she's still mostly subject to leverage. Still pretty high, just not as impressive as the speed.

On Super Speed with Arrowverse. I've ruled you can do anything that's shown in the show. Outside of the Jump, time-space timey-wimey stuff is more concrete so you're not going to be travelling like Flash does through time. I might relax the restriction after seeing the Season 2 final episodes.

Zoom can literally be in two places at once because he can travel back in time and get a "younger" version of himself from a different timeline. Something that causes Speedforce to be very angry at him. So they send Speed Wraiths which are like the Speedforce Cops. They leave Barry alone for most part because Speed Force likes him. However he did attract one when he ran back in time to pick Reverse Flash's (Harrison Wells) brain on how to get fast.

>Fire overcomes metal
>Metal generates water

I'm not sure this system understands the properties of metal

>>51481982
It's because water condenses on cold metal, if I'm remembering right. The elements of the Wu Xing aren't literal, anyway, they're just patterns of behavior that have had elemental names given to them. Like, most plants aren't part of the Wood element, but air is. It's all just weird metaphors.

>>51481488
The mousegaurd encounter system is very rock-paper scissors by design and I think it works very well.

>>51480977
Bump, as someone who doesn't play magic I still like to peruse the art.

The alpha legion doesn't exist you heretical faggot

>>51481790
Of course it's all hypothetical...

>>51480649
>What is the Alpha Legion's motives (have they changed).

We don't know what they were or whether they've changed. Certainly they do appear to be legit Chaotic, it would be retarded as fuck if a writer had them turned around with a LOL FOOLED YOU XDDD (suggesting that this will probably happen in the current 'narrative campaign').

>Did Roboute Guilliman really kill Alpharius? Or was it a decoy?

We don't know. It seems unlikely that Gulliman would have been fooled by a regular Astartes in cosplay, but it's possible one of the best Harrowmasters might have been able to put up enough of a good fight. Could also have been Omegon.

>Are the Alpha Legion (or the Cabal's influence on them) responsible for the failure (or success?) of the Horus Heresy?

The Cabal is fanfic tier bullshit, and being canon doesn't change that. :^)

That aside, the Alpha Legion seem peripheral. The main turning point was the Siege of Terra, and the main actors remain the Emperor and Horus, along with the forces present.

I wish the vampfags would just acknowledge this. 10 dot Disciplines are barely above planetary shenanigans. The Triat can eat whole worlds. Archmages can demolish entire galaxies.

Archmages take this. I'm sorry. Cain is strong, but not THAT strong.

>>51480538

Nobody cares anymore.

If the Wyrm can eat the whole world than clearly Cain is inferior to the Wyrm since Cain is part of the world. Black Spiral Dancers win again
