Falser emperor implies there's a "true" emperor, so who is it? Except it doesn't matter, because governments exist at the pleasure of the people, you rule because your authority is recognized and accepted, there is no other way. And humanity has chosen the God-Emperor, they choose him every day they continue to follow Imperial law. So by the very nature of your claim, it is inherently false.

>>51052587
Such is the snare of chaos. They would have our Emperor be "false" because he wouldn't bend the knew before the abominable Powers.
Oh well, let's leave the finest matters of political philosophy to the ecclesiarchy and strap ourselves with explosives so that We might explode ourself together with their tank in a glorious conflagration and live on In the Emperor!

Abaddon is the true Emperor.
The people will submit to his will soon enough.

both of these are in.

Depends on the game.

In a game like DnD, where hitpoints represent character importance, no.

In a game like L5R, which is quite lethal and wounds represent actual damage, yes. Much more.

>>51051700
Health =/= Hit Points.

Hit points are are an abstraction of your character's vitality, stamina, endurance, and luck. Essentially your character's capacity to avoid a mortal wound.

Post the rest of it, go on

The commissar is actually pretty cool, but you might not agree, given that he's the one that was fucking your miss

It is a blessing from the Emperor, fear not for should you fall in battle the imperial guard will take care of your child.

He's beyond stats because he can break the laws of conservation of mass and energy to grow to titanic sizes in minutes without eating anything at all.

Regardless of the OP, who I believe copied and pasted the topic from the last thread, how would you go about building your favorite Metal Gear character in PF? It can be classic MG or the Rising guys if you want to get fancy.

>implying I'm making a character for the game
>implying any of my characters are cute

Ha! Ha! You are of being funny man.

Secondly we get absolutely no insight into the underbelly of the tech priests religion I mean picture this in the Cult Mechanicus Codex gets this ambiguous section that shows the leaders of the Micanicum (maybe even the high lord of Terra) paying homage to the one true Omnissiah in the catacombs under Mars and then its revealed that it turns out to the weaken and battered (yet slowly healing) remains of an ancient dragon C'tan. Hell they can take it even one step further and make it that the top brass of the Micanicum is so desperate to find an STC is really so that they can finally restore the Omnissiah to his former glory. I mean both of the adeptus mechanicus codexes have no interesting backstory/lore.
Thirdly the actual units for the armies are severely lacking I mean Skitarii Vanguard are Ok and everything but rust-stalkers are shit and nothing anyone says will change that fact. Also where are the tanks and artillery? I mean for fucks sake this is the Adeptus Mechanicus we are talking about they should have the best vehicles of the Imperium at their disposal instead they have none.

However when things finally start to get interesting (in like the last paragraph of lore in the codex) its barely glossed over I mean they just said that they found a complete STC in the end of the Skittari codex, yes if you haven't read the codes im not making this shit up they actually state that they found the location of a complete STC and have dispatched like all the Military forces the Mechanicus has to retrieve it and this let me remind you is only mentioned it a tiny paragraph in the Skittari codex.
Similarly in a tiny paragraph in the Cult Mechanicus codex they say that the golden throne is failing and they asked the Dark Eldar for help....
You know what not even gonna say anything about that this shit is just stupid I mean who wrote this Matt Ward, you know what that actually makes more sense than it probably should. I mean if they really wanted help from xenos they could have asked the Tau or the Eldar but nooooo they just had to go to the BDSM enthusiasts I mean the only rational reason that I can see behind this is that the Eldar couldn't be asked because dragononmars (which is a stretch i mean i doubt the eldar would even have a clue about that) and the Tau couldn't be asked because Tau To be honest this would have made more sense if they dedicated more than a paragraph for the whole thing but not even a 10 000 word essay could rationalize the Imperium asking one of the most sadistic xenos races out there to help fix the golden throne even if they are have the most advanced tech when it comes to bio-engineering. I mean there is only so much you can blame on the Imperium for being incompetent.

Also if they were going to split the Adeptus Mechanicus codex into parts they should have gone all out with it and made it so that each of the forge worlds they mention by name each have their own military organization/somewhat unique sub culture. Say, the forge world with the internal sun could have specialized in fast light infantry the forge world near the eye of terra could have specialized in long ranged artillery (super basilisks), Mars could have fucking Baneblades fused with Land Raiders that have gatling guns that shoot out highly explosive dildos (Specialized in tanks then) or another forge world could have several versions of shock infantry robots insted all we got were two half assed codexes with six or seven generic units each.

I like 4e and 5e.

>>51050508
Barrier Peaks when?

>>51050539
Well I think you are entitled to your opinion, friend.

>>51050504
there have been a couple but mostly horrible all of them.

I am trying to create one but it is surprisingly hard.

>>51051003

Well if you know some that are good, feel free to share, they don't have to be fantasy based, sci fi or another genre would also be good. What kind of game are you trying to make?

>>51050504
Western games a-plenty that use Poker cards, and Dawn Command for something that's based more fully on the card mechanics. Really enjoy Dawn Command, and the setting that comes with it is pretty enjoyable as well.

>>51050492
1. Fatal Push

2. Disallow

3. Blue<Green<White<Black<Red

4. Tezz yes, Ajani no

>>51050492
1. Fatal Push, obviously.

2. Planar Portal, New Tezzeret, Metallic Mimic, Renegade Rallier, Pacification Array, and Yahenni's Expertise.

3. Baral's is trash, Rikshar's is meh, Sram's is decent, Kari Zev's is very good, and Yahenni's is broken.

4. Both of them, absolutely.

>>51050492
>1. Fatal Push

>2. Paradox Engine, Baral, Disallow, Yahenni's Expertise

>3. B>U>W>R>G

>4. I think tezz from the duel decks could be a decent spell tutoring torrential Gearhulk every turn. Tezz that makes Lotus petals could be nice to combo with the enchantment that says you win the game as a finisher. But in reality I don't think either will be played. And both Ajani are just stone unplayable.

I am inclined to agree. It's either the AoS tzzentch stuff, the imperium heroes box set and book, or the deldamorka game.

>>51050168
I'm betting deldamorka since that was spoiled just recently.

Bad game for a bad series.

They work together to highlight the worst parts of the Fate System (too narrativist, no sense of balance, easily abused, and players need to often act against their characters) and the Dresden Series (a derivative world created as a backdrop for a juvenile wish-fulfilment egotist to run amuck alongside a cast of hollow plot points pretending to be characters), and it culminates in an experience that people would pay money to end.

>>51049133
Alright, better question - is it possible to tell high-powered Urban Fantasy that doesn't devolve into Juvenile Wish Fulfillment Egotism? Or do you consider all high-powered urban fantasy (or possibly all high-powered fantasy_ to just be JWFE?
Serious question, not me trolling; I keep working on an urban fantasy story, but I notice that all such stories are all-or-nothing; either it's over-the-top stories about blowing up cities to stop the king of the elves from taking over the world, or it's like one housewife who can maybe talk to birds and this really should have just called itself magical realism. I'd like to successfully hit somewhere in the middle, for once.

>>51049133
If it's narrativist, why not make characters equal?

>>51047784
What do you mean, deck leader?

>>51047784
4x Relic of Progenitus in the main would help.
