My friend wants to run a campaign but wants to set it in coliseum/gladiatorial arena. He also doesn't want to use D&D because he wants a very minimal amount of magic involved. Are there any systems which might fit this kind of setting.

Are most games like this? Am I just autistic? I'm not against some sillyness but I was kind of looking for something a bit more in depth. How serious are your guys' games?

>Can I use bestow curse for positive effects of the same degree?

The spell already allows me to make up whatever effect I want and the only rule is that it has to be of a similar power to the examples listed.

Would you gms allow this?

How do Chaos Space Marines keep their numbers up?

It's a question that's probably been asked before, but it's particularly pertinent to the CSMs. Like, they generally have less resources than actual Chapters, and they don't have vast reserves of geneseed the way the Imperium does. More, they're significantly more scattered than the regimented order of loyalist Chapters...So if a warband takes losses, it can't actually replace them within any reasonable time. I don't see 'new recruits' getting the chance to go from Scout to Battle-Brother, either, since the turnover rate is incredibly high.

I'm aware of things like the daemoncubala, but it doesn't change some of the inherent difficulties like locating the vast number of adolescent males (most of whom will die) to transform into Astartes. Raiding gene-seed vaults of loyalist chapters seems to pose all kinds of questions of it's own - For instance, a lot of Legions have unique gimmicks. If everyone in the warband is a Night Lord, and one guy is using Blood Angels geneseed...You'd assume there would be a LOT of problems if the odd-man-out is prone to blood-drinking and receiving vision of ol' Sangy, upset at how his son is going astray.

Generally, the usual depiction of most Chaos Space Marines are desperate warbands of irregular order and condition, most of whom don't even have an Apothecary. Doesn't that make their eventual extinction inevitable, though sheer attrition? Even if a single CSM is worth about five regular Marines (And they don't appear to be, as far as I can tell) eventually they'd get picked off one-by-one. And given the trouble with replacing their numbers, it seems that the loyalists have the advantage in any straight-up fight.

I was recently cleaning my bookmarks when I found a google doc of some anon who had translated some of a Brazilian free rules light system called 3D&T. It seems the guy actually kept at it and finished most of the crunch.

Does it interest anyone? Did anyone try to play it? How is it? Apparently it's really anime inspired too.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JroB5R-G1h5ME2tnzlvPI0oDmCsOzmq7BwMtHFyfMLE/mobilebasic?pli=1

Link for those who want to check out the translation. The Portuguese PDF is available for free in the store but its kind of a pain to download it seems.

How do you do level 1 (or power level equivalent thereof) games? Where do you like to start characters off? What challenges do you give them?

Do you immediately start them off with an overarching campaign hook or do you give them a few sessions of one-offs to set the mood and expectations?
