In real life no, but I don't why not in an alternative world. Say, make it the priesthood of scientific method.

>Trazyn has a behaviour that is logical, more of a wild factor than a genuine help for the Imperium

-Trazyn got the null shield working which prevented Cadia from being outshotted by the Fortress
-He stopped the Chaos Baneblade saving the day
-He helped Cawl make the Pylons work
-He unleashed his collection that bought the Imperials the time they needed
-He convinced Greyfax that Chaos takes priority over her prejudices which caused her to save Celestine
-He "saved" Creeds life

Cadia wouldn't have lasted as long as it had without his shenanigans.

Any level of "realism" is fine

Although I lean towards the simulationist side

Bump on my part.
I want to know too.

>So, do they watch propaganda or what?
sure? It depends on the world, it depends on the tech level, it depends on the imperial governor in charge of them

Some will be casual near future, some will be megacity 2000AD, some will be full 1984 Oceania, some will be NO ENTERTAINMENT WORK IN SLAVE MINES ALL DAY UNTIL YOU DIE. It's a big place, there's no standards.

>>51320261
how did people entertain themselves in the 1700s

>>51320261
depends on the planet but in general they do have tv (unless you are poor of course)
the ratio of propaganda to entertainment would vary depending on planet though.

Free and rules light:

Havoc Brigade - play a band of orcs infiltrating a city, no character creation rules but you can easily tell how to make balanced characters if you take a look at the given ones

One last job - create characters by telling stories about each other, usually played as old professional criminals doing one last job, but it gives you many different setting ideas (cyberpunk, fantasy, western,..)

Lasers and Feelings and the like - bet you know that ultra-ultra rules light game

Atomic Highway - rules light post-apocalyptic game, mad max like, lots of cars, easy in terms of setting and newb frirndly d6 pools. Just replay fury road with your friends!

Shit you have to buy:

Army of darkness rpg: if you haven't seen the movie or another part of the evil dead series: it's about demonic possession, solved by chainsaws. Rules light, brutal and lots of already finished characters.

>What do YOU purge with fire?

EVERYTHING

>>51318712
Love you, Rag.

Did you ever get that fireperson race you were after?

So my roommate made a ranger for our old session that, as the story unfolded, ended up being more of a lawyer-ey type than anything else and barely, if ever, used his spells.

That campaign is over now, but we're thinking of starting it up a sort of "season 2" and our DM has agreed to let us reboot our characters should we so desire, and I'm trying to think of ideas as to what we could make that would fit that sort of character, and no that one Cleric archetype is not on the table.

I usually just go with the usual standard cliches. Dwarven ale is the strongest drinkable beer for a human being, goliath ale will literally kill you, elven wine is the single best thing you'll ever drink but it's relatively light in terms of getting you fucked up, and human beer is somewhere between dwarven ale and elven wine.

However, whenever I make a character I always decide right away what they drink (or if they abstain from drinking altogether). It really says a lot about someone. Does your character enjoy a fine wine, or do they like to get good and rowdy with a stout ale and throw a chair at someone in the bar just to start a fight? Or, do they steer away from "the devil's drink" and look down on those that enjoy it? It's a small detail for sure, but I feel a character's choice in booze (or lack thereof) really says a lot about who he or she is as a person.

I always was a fan of Bastion's system of making various kinds of alcohol unlockable passive buffs. Each came with both a gameplay effect and a lot of flavor regarding both the ingredients of the liquor and the taste of it. Implementing something similar in D&D could work, if the effects aren't quite as good as potions but also not as expensive. Makes taverns more than just a side-quest acquisition center too.

>>51318390
Respectable. You bring up a good point about characterization there too. If a character doesn't drink alcohol, what do they drink? Does the setting allow for easy access to fresh water, milk, or unfermented juices? Or is this a hard path to follow, risking infection from waterborne parasites and diseases?

>>51318303
Milk.

No, but seriously what system would be the better to run a Psychonauts game in?

>>51318365
I'd guess GURPS but maybe Mutants and Masterminds could work too?

If you can't find a used one on ebay or whatever cheap, then you could just send the pdf off to a print-on-demand place. You can get a good quality book made out of just about any pdf for 15-20 dollars at most of them.

why do people think the neutral ending is canon? and OP he is not in the warp the "pure" ending is cannon not full pure
prob he is somewhere in the chapter doing stuff and things

>>51319038

>>51317058
Is it at all magical or have fantasy elements? Three

Is it supposed to be realistic? Fourteen probably.

>>51317058
Depends on the game.
What ever is setting and thematically appropriate.
A game where you are cops? 18
A game where you are surviving the zombie apocalypse? probably six or so.
Also the rules for the game need to have rules related to playing children mechanically.

>>51306994
Bancho, any opinion?

Just how do people deal with you leaving? Do you imagine they feel a sting when you're no longer in their lives? Are they worse off for knowing you?

It’s good to be back to a more normal form, I hardly even mind washing up on a beach with sand getting in places I would rather not mention… ok I did mind that but well it’s good to be back to normal.

Melody my sister from IS seems quite disturbed by my current appearance. It’s going to take a while to adjust I suppose. She seemed even less happy when I started using those canisters and gaining a green tint. I did warn her about certain things but I guess seeing it first hand is a bit more jarring.

So finding myself on a deserted shaper colony with a bunch of crafted creatures was not fun. I didn’t mind the ones that weren’t trying to kill me so much as I felt bad for them. Created just to be used. I tried to help them when I could. Also there were the creatures that were not so friendly… I felt bad but my companions and I put an end to them.

One of the groups of serviles, the takers tried to kidnap me on behalf of their master to try and use me to work his geneforge to give him god like powers. I met with the man and decided he was up to no good. I offered to give everyone human forms so they could go and live as they wish. The offer stunned him a little but not being an apparent fan of humans (or shapers) he stood firm to his demands.
