I'm running this using FFG Star Wars later today... should be interesting.

We're running a Mutant Epoch game and we're looking for players. Anyone interested?

I've found myself in an argument. It boils down to this:
>If a game isn't a sandbox game, then that's railroading
Which I disagree with.
Here's how it breaks down in my opinion:
>Sandbox
Players are given the setting and a Beginning point. They choose their own Middle and End and the GM essentially becomes a simulator
>Campaign
The players are given a Beginning, and the End is hinted at, implied, or obscured, but can usually be roughly extrapolated from the Beginning. However the Middle is up to the players, and the details of the End can change drastically because of this
>Railroad
Exactly like Campaign, except that the players are (through many many means) forced into a Middle of the GMs choosing, therefore influencing the End to be what the GM expects and wants as well.
To be clear, I'm not trying to say one type of game is better than the other, either of the first two serve their purposes and we can all agree that Railroading is bad.
However this person is refusing to see the Campaign style of game. In their opinion, if the GM places players in a situation or location to begin with, and then introduces them to some sort of overarching quest or storyline, expecting them to follow the hook, that's railroading.

He sounds like a dumbass, just pretend to agree so he shuts up.
>>51309872
your friend is retarded, move city so you can avoid them forever
>>51309872
I like your idea OP. It really seems that most campaigns are composed of the standard story arc's beginning middle and end, complete with the whole "hero's story" revolving around level 1 characters where you come from a place that allows for a lot of exposition and finds a mentor that improves them etc. etc.
The problem I find is that a lot of GMs will make a railroad out of a campaign when they see the game approaching territory they don't want, or when the players want to drop the current storyline and do something more sandboxy where they pursue their own goals.
Railroads aren't dangerous, in fact they CAN be fun, as long as the story's good. Even without any player agency it can be seen as "solving the GM's puzzles" and the story is secondary to the game.
I GM only sandbox games, because I find simulationist experiences to be interesting and give rogue-like sense of adventure and storytelling.

For those of you who took Decretum in Madoka, what is your Witch form named, and what are they the Witch of?
Jumpers, what are some of the favorite things you've done using a combination of powers and/or items from multiple jumps?
It doesn't necessarily have to be something grand or uber-powerful.

Thinking of getting some Baral's Expertises while they're cheap. I swear this is gonna be the most hated card in Standard.

hey guardfag here, in case anyone wanted this I did all the mathhammer for probabilities on all the imperial guards heavy weapons against vehicles to show what did well against what
theres a lot of fun numbers to crunch through but basically for its points Multilasers do best againt AV10, autocannons do best against everything else except for av14 since you can field 2 ACs for every LC you run
im sure other people with way better skills in formatting have done this before but i made it myself for a project im working on so i thought id share.
Its still obviously WIP but here yall go: zsyvbzc
put that in tinyurl
>but what about chances to pin?
just add 1 to the AV
>what about with tank hunter or re-rolling 1s
fuck you my autism only goes so far in one night

First for Nids. What are your guys' thoughts on platoon-like unit selection for Tyranids?
Q: I have a question about the Stormraven Gunship’s Transport
Capacity, specifically its ability to transport a Dreadnought –
what Walkers fit in that spot? Just the standard Dreadnought or
can I put a Contemptor in there?
A: A Space Marine Stormraven Gunship can Transport
any kind of Space Marine Dreadnought (e.g. a
Dreadnought, a Venerable Dreadnought, an Ironclad
Dreadnought or a Contemptor Dreadnought).
> ANY KIND OF DREADNOUGHT
LEVIATHANS GO IN STORM RAVENS. LEVIATHANS CAN EMBARK IN STORMRAVENS. RIP AND TEAR, RIP AND FUCKING TEAR.
Would you, as a GM, allow players to craft a cure light wounds trap?
>>51308717
First of all I'd ask them why.
Then it depends on the setting.
>>51308717
yes.
>>51308717
why not
What kind of aesthetics, fashion, and themes would you use for an evil space empire based on 1950s America?
>>51308691
The phrase you want is "raygun gothic," OP. Atomic age also works.
>>51308691
Ironic crop is not very ironic
Atomic everything.
Witch hunts for space commies.
Ruthless corporates.
Space CIA black ops.
>Made new character this week
>Kind of wasn't entirely sure how to really roleplay it and I wasn't playing something I could just bullshit easily or just not talk
>End up sounding so fucking awkward in the game while trying to talk
>Everyone else is good at roleplaying except me so not only am I awkward as fuck I make the rest of them look bad
>Can't fucking stop thinking back on this and cringing at myself
Help. What do I do? I feel like the rest of they guys don't really care about this as much as I do because they're nice dudes but fuck it makes me feel like shit on multiple levels. I'm literally "That guy" who plays charismatic characters and then sounds like a fucking idiot when he talks.
How do you guys get less awkward when you're roleplaying? Do I need to just not care about how cringy I sound and just go with it since everyone else is having fun?
Just b yourself
>>51308207
1) Odds are you're not as awkward as you think you are
2) Practice makes perfect
3) Also CBT and drugs if you have an anxiety disorder (which it sounds like you might)
>>51308207
Unless the GM is a dick he's gonna give you some leeway for trying instead of "I use persuasion, I rolled 4 successes". Don't worry so much.

is this still real? it seems like in 2E mages are just generically good but every other splat can wipe the floor with them in their specialty. mage supremacy feels dead, a combat-focused Thyrsus used to be able to solo werewolves, now it's like, well maybe you could take a changeling, if you're both starting characters and you had six hours in advance...

So the players who are inquisitors for Not!Christianity, and are chasing a criminal into Not!China.
I'm looking for inspiration on what I can do there.
You guys know any vidya, books, movies, etc... I should watch for ideas?
Know any fun Chinese trivia that I can use to culture shock the PCs?
Any adventure ideas?
>ib4 Jade Empire
I've already played it a few times.
Not especially accurate but still a fun time.
I may just dump some images that seem china inspired.
Any new/scan something of the new there and back again release?

Nope

No, but if you google "lonley knight sbg", the first link has an Excel army builder with most of the rules and profiles, updated.
