Well, share your experience.

And the .pdf, if you have it.

I really like the dice pool system, too. I honestly don't mind the setting that much either, because even though a lot of the art is horrid the lore itself it actually pretty solid. Probably the best system out there for running any sort of Redwall-themed game. Every game I've run has been with chill people (and the only guy I suspect might have been an actual furry keeps it in check pretty well), so it's just like any other system where the people who do fetishy shit are probably predisposed to do it regardless of the system.

The same company has been building up the mechanics in a couple other products, and Urban Jungle is pretty neat as well if you want a noir slant to the gameplay.

I enjoy it. The martial arts is nice, as is the lethality. I enjoy Dice pool.
When setting appropriate, I usually switch out Savage Worlds for this and trim out the furshit.

I have Maddox but I wanted to build something with stormknights. Mainly the malcontents so full unit + 3x WA + UA + captain. Any advice for which casters jacks would work best?

>>51124899
What are the Malcontents? Form your post it sounds like Stormblades.

How did his character knew? Did he scry? Had his familiar scout ahead? Did he roll perception really well? Or did he have some sort of ability or feat that let him notice the ambush?

>>51114271
Well, there's a feat in 5E that lets you completely negates being surprised. I'm not really sure how it would work fluff-wise. Maybe they've got really good hearing or something and reacted fast enough. I guess he didn't "know they were there", but reacted fast enough after they sprung into action.

I adore vehicles like that, I have a cross section of one of the older soviet ones, but sadly no interior shots of the newer version that's got two parts connected via articulation.

>"cursed" unfinished rail line

>About 20 years before the events of the campaign, the government tried to establish a rail line reaching up into the northern reaches. It was plagued with bizarre setbacks, accidents, and deaths, and it's construction was finally cancelled when three seperate sections were buried under rockslides and avalanches on the same day.

This is part of the reason why snow crawler couriers are needed.

Oh jeeze

That's gonna be rough for our boys to avoid attention

On the upside, this is a good opportunity for genestealer SoB

roll 1d100 for planet terrain

d20 is a shit system so none of them, ever.

Fantasycraft.

dnd

AW is good because it has rules for everything you might do in the setting, but not for anything else.
DW is bad because it doesn't manage to do either of those.

You might be on to something with that. I mean I've heard a lot of reasons, some pretty plausible, some downright stupid, but that one really jibes with what I've observed about 4chan over the years.

>It's a caster that plays like a martial
So by that you mean that it's a caster that uses the "left mouse button" option most of the time? Because that's how martials mostly work, and that's how warlock works, I guess.

Are paladins romaboos?

>"Give me a name, mortal. These men here are no friends of yours. You owe them nothing. Give me a name and not only will I spare your life, I'll grant you wealth and power. I'll even do away with this portal you desire closed. Just give me a name."
>mage closes his eyes and sighs

>he gives me the cleric's name

>whole party is stunned

>surprisingly not a friendship-ending betrayal
>cleric is still shocked, but takes it like a champ
>while mage says that he was the first target and anyone else would have done the same in his position

I end the session shortly after because holy shit I really wasn't expecting anyone to give a name

Now, this whole situation is really unfair for the cleric

He did nothing wrong, but the whole situation is set up so that he suffers for the mage's gain. Of course I can easily set up an ironic twist for whatever "rewards" the mage gets, but cleric just suffers for no reason.

I'm not sure HOW yet and that's the problem. Too severe and it's just harsh. Too light and it makes this (pretty great) moment worthless.

So yeah, /tg/, besides being chased by demons every now and again a la Berserk, what can I do with this mark on the cleric?

I don't see the problem. Stop babying your players, they're adults.

Are there any links or PDF's.

I fear that if I paid for a HH that would be rewarding bad behaviour

a multi generation spannig game of CoC with the players playing their heirs and the villan would be persistente. each generation could know more, but is it worth going back to what doomed their ancestor?

Is the name of this game store Hoarders?

>>51155170
Nah it's 5e. The guy who owns the shop is a hoarder, as welp as a stereotypical cutthroat business jew though.

the setting certainly seems conducive for gaming, but a number of the rules of the setting are very handwavy, the limits to what semblances and dust are capable of haven't really been explored, so any system built would be half speculation and half bullshit.

also the incredibly dynamic fighting styles would be hard to properly capture in a tabletop format. I can't imagine how to make turn-based combat as viscerally exciting as nonsensical high-speed flippy shit

the Malifaux RPG "Through the Breach" is pretty much designed for this shit.
