QUestion: How do I implement this in a round of DnD?

(And which ending is the best ending?)

>>50888410
Skeleton dies, human dies, robot, dumon and frankenstein all live forever. (Dumon goes a little crazy, but the other two are just Ophelia in different bodies.)

Usually not the kind for gets, but that was pretty good

The most important thing is probably the question which immortal body can be a baby mama

Alternatively, how do you SANTA?

If you were to stat him, how would you do it? With PC Classes, or as a unique creature?

Bump for dead board

I thought it was neat at first but it felt like all the decisions were automatic and you win or lose based mainly on random factor

>>50886336
Yeah, I can see that.
A well balanced team seemed to counteract the randomness though. Being a Paladin definitely made me feel like a holy avenger seeking out the villain with my main ability.

Delta Green?
Ultimately it really depends how much plot armor the players are supposed to have.

>>50885187
Try GURPS.

Depends. Do you wanna play as Freeman or as a random Black Mesa scientist without plot armor?

FateCore isn't for everyone, but it's certainly worth trying. It's easy enough to use just the core rules for a sci-fi game, but you could also use homebrewed hacks (like the one attached).

Albedo. It's hard sci-fi, has excellent character creation, and is perfect for tactical gunfights.
Has personality traits woven into the character sheet, and becomes a PTSD simulator very quickly.
The published scenario is a crew trying to survive in a derelict ship before rescue arrives, with big emphasis on friction between characters.
Also furry.

I think it'll fit like a glove, but I'd like some info about what you liked in your previous games. DH and DW are as close as two systems can be, while F&D is vastly different.

>>50885207
Thank you, I'm going to look through that pdf in a few minutes !

I guess the reason we much preferred Dark Heresy to Deathwatch was the simplicity of playing humans over Space Marines. We enjoyed the smaller scale investigations of the local acolytes over the grand adventures of a kill team. We also found the example enemies and encounters didn't balance well with only having 2 or 3 players in a group. I am very interested in your suggestion though!

absolutely hilarious that they printed sky skiff and then this together, in the same exact set. My expectations for WotC are very low, but they seem to set a new record every set for poor design.

The six IG regiments in your pic are the most well known and loved ones.

Also that Catachan design is killer willth not to much of an 80s muscle freak design.

You'd be better served asking 40k rpg questions in the 40k general, anon.
But when you have bonuses to tests, those bonuses are for the tests, they do not count as additions to your attribute. In this case, you would have, from talents, a bonus +40 to the Willpower/Agility test, before penalties are applied.
They would give you a higher cap on Degrees of Success, but would not (virtually) increase your Willpower attribute, or increase your WP bonus unless the ability expressly says it does so, like Unnat Attributes.

>>50883456
I'll post in WH40 generals next time then, my apologies.

Ahh. Well okay then. They're just bonuses for tests.

Further rules clarification: What is the maximum benefit a bonus may give you? Supposing you had the minimum required for the talent, suddenly any roll of 60 and below nets you a single success in resisting psyker powers. Resistance; Psyker gives another +10.
If you bought this talent 8 times, suddenly any roll of 99 or lower should net a single success. Unless suddenly 100s miraculously stop being an automatic failure.
But can you buy more and make those count? I mean, in a normal scenario, the bonuses are redundant. But what if you want to offset the difficulty around you?
Could you purchase it enough to offset possible penalties? Like say you were preoccupied. Suddenly the GM rules you get a -60 penalty to your roll. If you happened to buy Psychic Null 12 times after that, a total of 20 times, would that mean virtually any roll still counts as a single success? Or would a penalty of -60 mean you can only succeed on the percentile dice on a 40 or lower?

What about if you jacked the bonus up so high that even rolling a 99, your roll counted as if you rolled low enough to use your entire Willpower Bonus because you rolled so far under the target number? Would that be possible?
Or worse, what if we assume the bonus is so high that even rolling a 99, you still reap the entire rewards of your Willpower Bonus? So no matter whom attacks you, they still would not only need to succeed their roll, but land as many successes attacking you as you get evading them.
In theory that'd mean 4 for a rinky dink willpowered character, up to 12 for a guy with max willpower. Not counting augments or mutations.

I mean it'd cost you a minimum if 9,600 EXP, but the hard rules do seem to indicate player characters could do it.

Don't have Max being that much of an obvious suspect, make the research more of a roleplaying/investigation session. Max isn't really a threat yet, he's just some cultist human albeit a smart one and will take steps to hinder the PCs' research or destroy clues but isn't a physical threat to the players. He may even create false leads to send them on wild goose chases?

This changes once they've caught him and he turns into something clearly inhuman. Now they're dealing with a supernatural monster with abilities from beyond the pale.
And since Max came back from the dead to continue serving these nefarious machinations, Joan probably won't rest easy for long... She might even be the eldritch entity's primary servant and brains of the operation.

>>50883008
That's pretty cool. The only problem is that I have no idea how to make an investigation session fun.

And then there's the problem of my group. The group I run with are four nice gents who I suspect fundamentally misunderstand the system.
>Hotel rolled a thug who became a priest as part of witness protection. Hotel thought that the bonds system was stupid as "that's not how relationships work" and because his character had no friends or family to speak of, had just one bond, with God, as a 30-strength bond.
>Bravo rolled a doctor who was researching psionics and "got some". His character was a 25 year old German gun-nut with blue hair and mild latent mind reading.
>Quixote rolled a Chinese-American former soldier with excellent disguise and stealth skills. Not much personality, but pretty good.
>Delta rolled a skinny semilolsorandumb hacker character.

Now I managed to get things roughly in motion. I was seriously considering asking Bravo to reroll, but ended up deciding that his character has to take a 0/1d3 SAN check more or less at my liasure to hear the unfortunate thoughts of the people she's talking to. I allowed Quixote to have a 80% stealth skill because I'm dumb. And because Im a doormat in real life and I live with Hotel, I didn't have the heart to say no. Furthermore, Hotel is very gunshy about roleplaying. He's keen, really really keen, but afraid to get into it and so I tried to lead him in but for the most part Quixote and Delta ran the show and Bravo had a lot of seizures.

I was thinking of just giving them that list of 800 prerolled chars and telling them to pick one. What strategies do you have for getting ppl in the mood, and also not to be mild thatguys?

>>50883148
I think making adjustments and adaptions to the campaign is more preferrable than just taking player characters behind the shed and ice them, at least if they're not obvious train wrecks.

Dunno how the rule system works, but if that Hotel dude has no affiliation/relation to the other characters he might just be a new transfer from another cell of the organisation?
