I don't know but the two survivors on the left are obviously the basis for the romantic survivors in the GC.
So, during a game the question came up: "How much health does the earth have?" Anyone else ask anything like this before?
Yes. Long story short:
16,586,000,000,000,000,000 hp.
Thank you this helps.

What aspects of realism do you add into your fantasy settings? Like gender differences if you want to go there.
>>51119328
People acting like actual people, not just robots.

I assign stackable wisdom penalties to chauvinistic characters
The absolute minimum necessary. Fun is better.
What is going to be Tier 1 when the dust settles?
What brew are you gonna dust off and jam Fatal Push in?
How are you going to change your sideboard for a Probeless/Troll-less metagame?

It feels like it's been a couple weeks since the last one.
I remember I started reading it way back when it had #100 strips and Erfworld only became a thing next to it.
It's 2017, Burlew started a whole new plot with the gates, blew up all but one of them, and it still feels like the conclusion of the story will be in 2024.
gonna start sci group on wednesday, we're looking for an approipate systems. Can you recommend a sci fi system that is not to rules heavy?
thanks

Which is the opinion on Age of Sigmar now?
Last time I checked (quite a while ago) it was a bit heated. Any consensus was reached?
>>51112962
They did, after some time, improve the rules and removed/altered the silly ones to the point that it's now playable.
Lore-wise...it needs another 30 years of fleshing out and beard-growing because at the moment I cannot take seriously stuff like NuLahmia.

I've heard the Boba movie is getting a little shaky, but I'd hope it was a solid space western if it comes to it.
Sadly there ain't a version available without the watermark sans buying the piece, but it's still some damn good art
Any interesting starting builds for the FFG games people have come up with?

There are actually a lot of sources that indicate various kinds of role playing, from free-form to tabletop to LARP, can be very effective methods of therapy.
My friend is doing his psychology master's thesis on this topic, it is really quite interesting.
What are the best examples of people losing their humanity in order to protect it?
Hummanity is a state of mind not how you look.
Take Space Marines for example yeah some chapters are unemotional edge lords but then you got the salamanders who care for humans even with the salamanders scary appearance.
Also Geralt had a heart of gold and always proved his hummanity

Because giving your life for others is one of the most difficult and selfless acts you can do.
Ever try to serve people and their needs? People are self-centered assholes who will take advantage of you at a moment's notice.
You will be ridiculed, mocked, and treated like shit by those you care about.
You may grow callous, abrasive, and numb to their problems, and your thoughts will dwell on whether or not they really deserve your treatment.
But despite all of this, when the hammer comes down, and you resist the urge to let the long-deserved karma take place, and instead take the blow yourself, people will ask why.
You usually won't be a hero to the rest of the world, hell, your name might be said with a hint of disgust.
But for who you saved, their eyes will be opened, that you gave your all not for glory or honor, but for them.
They will realize the pain they've caused to you, the burden they threw on your back. Some will curse you still, guilty with the knowledge that the bullet was meant for them.
But some will see clearly, and maybe, just maybe, they will follow your example and leave behind their old life.
And for you?
Whether you knew it or not, it was never about fame, fortune, or honor, it was about your legacy.
To be Celestine is quiet suffering.
>>51108684
Apparently not.
Boring thread, post art.
Since SoB are part of Ecclesiarchy, I'll post it here.
The Imperial church seems to be inspired by the catholic church (or maybe the anglican one? I'm not very knowledgable about the latter), but it seems to me that there is a very big gap in basic doctrine :
In the Imperial Creed, the human form is perfect, instead of being tainted with the original sin.
In the Imperial Creed, you are your body, which explains why mutation is so shunned upon. There is no soul distinct from the flesh.
Have you guys noticed other things in that vein?
Also, previous thread.

Literally a Sigmarine.
As a thought experiment: assuming a D&D like kind of system (whichever edition you like best, or just a fantasy game with the same sort of general adventure-y direction), how would you make traditional Norwegian style trolls into a PC race (or class-race, or whatever) in a way that would be mechanically viable and balanced while ignoring the least amount of commonly accepted mythological knowledge? What traits of mythological trolls would you retain and, in broad stroke, how would represent them mechanically (e.g. will they take damage from sunlight?)? What traits wouldn't you retain, and why (e.g. "Don't turn into stone in sunlight as this would slow down mixed adventuring parties", "only human sized as this would make dungeon crawling difficult", etc.)

I know this sounds like a joke but this is something you can seriously do. Fuck Dungeons and Dragons and its shitty logic.

Should stylistic flourishes be immune from harmful consequence?
>>51107734
No.
Doing something stupid and dangerous should not be immune from consequences because whining.
Depends entirely on the tone of the game. Over the top and dramatic? Sure, let it go. Something more gritty and realistic? You deserve to suffer for that shit.
>>51107734
>Should stylistic flourishes be immune from harmful consequence?
Obviously not. They're only impressive and stylish BECAUSE they carry a risk of danger. If it wasn't dangerous to make useless flourishes then everyone would do it and they would serve no purpose.
