>europe
You mean england, there are next to no books based on the folklore of other european countrys. Want to know why the whitcher was so popular and thought of so diferenet? It was not based on anglo-saxon folk lore
>Arabian
So-so, also a very subsect of arabian mythology

I'd like to see some south american motives, and maybe some stranger african motives

>>51096444
>three
OP. You fucked up. Also, how about ancient India? War elephants, naga's, crazy death discs, flaming four armed mother fuckers, all this crazy shit.

Osprey seems to be pumping out a huge number of games lately. Are they all using the same system, are they any good?

>Osprey seems to be pumping out a huge number of games lately.
They started publishing games. They're not the ones making them.

>Are they all using the same system, are they any good?
Obviously depends on the author.


>>51068521
I recently got my copy haven't read it yet.
Been already perusing various manufactuers for my possible crew though. I'm excited about it, too.

>>51068521
I have it. Haven't had a chance to play yet, though. It is exciting. The author also did song of blades and heroes, which is a great fantasy skirmish bring-your-own-minis game, and some of the same design elements were borrowed from that, which I enjoy. This is just a little more rules intensive then sobah. And as others said, it's borrowed a few RPG elements. It seems less like a necromunda-esque skirmish game and more like you're commanding a group of PCs against another group of PCs

>So why not talk about them?

Because the "we" in this context is like three people that post on /tg/

And Sorcery isn't just a Western thing, most of Lankhor Mhy's 'cult magic' is Sorcery, a lot of it originating from the EWF or Godlearners.

>>51052497
RQ6 I'm assuming?

Yeah, as >>51052551 says, Lhankor Mhy's cult knows sorcery... properly purified of course.
And of course there's other sorcery cults in central Genertela. The Lunars have a bunch, but you can also find them in the Holy Country, such as the House of Black Arkat.

>>51052551
See, that's exactly what I wanted to know but couldn't find! It's very hard to make a magic tradition when you don't know where it's based off of. So, purified god learner sorcery- what is god learner sorcery like? I know they blended and abused myth, but not enough about their magic to make a tradition.

Also, mysticism. I'm guessing it'd be blended in with warrior god cults for super warriors, am I right?

>>51164855
Do you have a bigger version of that picture?

>>51164886
I do not.

Love: Zeon. Thick, stylish mechs with killer red eyes that scream "I'm here to fuck you up".

Don't Love: Eldar. They just feel like a limp-dicked "You got your fantasy in my sci-fi!".

>>51163911
I have no idea what you're babbling about, anon.

Becouse they want to keep that shit for themselves

>>51163911
What did he mean by this?

No, I don't want to.

>>51163054
So, you want Cryptomancer.

I almost always use McGuffins because I'm fucking lazy.

The party come into ownership of some object, (I just realized literally every single one was the result of the PCs stopping a bank robbery and finding the object on the thieves, huh) that object then turns out to be mysterious and powerful and significant and usually bound to them in some irreversible way.

And it leads the plot.

Means that the plot becomes robust and resistant to unexpected swerves, so you can have a narrative without railroading. Also, as I said, I'm fucking lazy.

In theory being Space-Time sounds like a good deal.

One of the most fascinating subjects for revolutionary struggle is "where is the money coming from" .Sure, one would need enthusiasm but for any big endeavour you need money

For example, russian revolutionaries were either:
a) financed by wealthy Old Believers
b) self-financing via robberies and such
c) financed by foreign agencies (SChiff bank house, english secret services, japanese in 1905)

For South American revolutionaries (or, for example, mojahedeen/taliban) drug trade is the main source of income. Point is, money has to come from somewhere

>Which type/stage of the revolution would you prefer to play? Anticolonial? Communist? Anti-slavery? Religious? Respublican?

Spess-volution
Luna shall be free tovarischee!

>>51162054
So, "Moon is a harsh mistress"/"Gods themselves" type of thing?

I guess that would classify as an anti-colonial one

Fantastical ones.

Explodium: a super-dense energy-rich metal that can explode over and over again; usually stored in levitation fields.

Immovium: This highly magical ore can only be moved with strong teleportation or space-bending magic, otherwise it remains in stasis at all times.

It is found only in four locations in the far north, south, east and west, and these deposits are hypothesized to be the "nails" that hold the world in place.

>>51161738
How do you win explodium?

>>51161738
>someone actually came up with a worse fictional metal name than unobtainium

when is the next TTS episode coming out?

>>51161646
The rule that disallows FnP against D is under the FnP rule itself.

>>51161546
You posted it.

>>51161546
They're not

>>51161546

Because in AD&D they included Gnomes as a weird hybrid of Elf and Dwarf and expected everyone to play them as illusionsits. Instead nobody played them as anything and they only scrap of use they got was in the Dragonlance setting. In the setting which gave us legitimately mentally retarded Dwarves and Socipathic klepomaniac Haflings they also gave us "hilarious" Gnomes that made high technology that didnt work.See it was funny because anything they built feel apart just like you were supposed to find Kender to be adorable comic relief and not use them for chum

The thing is a serious version of that was picked up by other forms of media and helped give Gnomes some sort of reason to exist besides being small El-Dwarves so i guess its a win

I'm pretty sure you can't speed up rituals.

>>51160760
shit really???? that was all i needed to have the perfect character hahaha

is there not even a feat or invocation for any class???

>>51160408
I dunno, but have a bump, I'm feeling nice today.

>>51160408
It would probably involve courting the favour of one particular Chaos God over the others, which might be construed as breaking from the true path of Lorgar's Word by purists.

Other than that, I suspect they might revere him as a sort of saint.

>>51160408
At first glance, basically a step up from possessed marines. They are people who have been obviously and unquestionably blessed by the chaos gods.

However, there is also there is going to be a fair bit of jealousy concealed behind whatever respect or deference a standard legionnaire is required to show them. These are guys who basically got everything that your average chaos worshiper aspires to. Immortality, immense martial and sorcerous power, a position of authority among the ridiculously cutthroat traitor legions, the works. The traitor legions are all about coveting you neighbor's stuff, and a daemon prince has a lot of cool stuff to covet.

On the surface, a daemon prince will be venerated as a power servant of the chaos gods, much like another powerful daemon. Under the surface, there will be a constant, simmering hatred and resentment as the other legionnaires all plot to prove themselves to be better than the daemon prince in the hopes of earning the favor of the chaos gods. After all, if you prove that you're better than someone who has already ascended, doesn't that mean you deserve ascension too?
