Are you... a real edgelord?
Have you ever played a dark antihero, like a real chuunibyou?
Have you ever tried to walk the fine line between light and darkness?

Not all the way, although I've played some characters with elements of that.
In a Legends of the Wulin game my PC was a fervently anti-corruption Sword Priest kinda guy, forging his very spirit into a blade and using it to strike down corruption, which he believed had killed his father.
Turns out it was his father who'd been corrupt, and had been killed by his second in command who had been seeking to purge corruption from the organisation- Exactly the same motive he'd been operating under.
Naturally, it turned out he shared his fathers Corrupt bloodline. This was discovered when he lost an arm in a swordfight against a far superior foe, and started manifesting swords of blood and fighting like a demon.
I worried it was a bit overly edgy, but from the reaction of the other players and GM it went down well, and I ensured it lead into character development rather than just brooding- Specifically trying to balance Corruption and Righteousness, to use the strength of his bloodline for good ends. Sadly the game died, but it was fun while it lasted.

Can someone please explain how is it that the Blood Ravens still exist when in all the Dawn of War games you see them dying all the time ?
I remember seeing DoW3 gameplay where a whole bunch of them get exploded and turned into giblets of blood.
Which is another thing, since when where Space Marines so squishy?

Gameplay/story segregation.
It's why their fluff states they have loads of psykers and then they barely field any in game.
>>
>>50835009
Sacrificing gameplay over lore, which happens in the tabletop as well.
I mean imagine if you were forced to beat the game without losing whatever the cannon amount of units were in the fluff? I mean I don't doubt people would enjoy it, but personally I wouldn't.

Any of /tg/ have experience with systems using resource management as opposed to dice rolls to determine outcomes?
I've been trying to come up with a homebrew system for some time now. While I originally went with a system based on a d12, I got interested in a resource system after reading the rule book for Golden Sky Stories. It seems like a good way to avoid having an otherwise strong character lose out to a low strength character becase of low rolls, and I kind of like the idea of having players pick and choose their battles based on strategic thinking rather than leaving it up to chance.
Are there other systems which use a similar mechanice I can read up on?

The more mechanical thinking required, the worse the immersion will be. Leave that stuff to board games, not roleplay.

Amber Diceless, and its two children, Lords of Gossamer and Shadow, and Lords of Olympus, all have the diceless resource strategy thing going on.

I mean it needs some hefty houseruling, but it's possibly the most satisfying system I've played in a while.

>The setting can only get it's magic from strange dungeons that appear in the world as floating doors. The magic items gotten from inside ranging from better equipment, even if not for the military too "I put on these shoes and now I can bunny hop Quake style".
>These doors have started appearing ever since the Archaic period, but all over the entire planet. The deeper you go, the better rewards but the graver the perils type deal due to it being infested with monsters.
>The only problem is that these doors vanish after sometime and it can be very difficult to tell when it's going to vanish. You can give it a rough estimate, but never a exact measurement.
So if some Roman soldiers decided they wanted to send a few people inside but couldn't use any magical equipment because reasons, what would be the best equipment you could give a soldier going in there if you want him to be able to go as deep as possible but still come back?

Anyone unfortunate enough to buy this? Honestly was so disappointed in yet another 40k game failure that I'm basically giving up on there ever being a game as close to representing 40k as Space Marine did.
It wasn't perfect, but at least when the Orks rushed yout head on you knew they were supposed to because they're Orks. When Genestealers continue to haul ass down a choked corridor despite the first dozen dying to an assault cannon, you wonder where the master tacticians and stealth went from the lore.

Sounds like you bought a shooter while hoping for a strategy game.
XCOM is >>>/v/ that way.
>>
>>50833728
don't see what's wrong with it. Looked like a pretty good game with lots of Easter eggs from the lore.
Also Genestealer rushing down corridors is basically all they did in the board game. The point is that others would show up behind you or seperate you from the group, which happens in the game as well.

I'm pissed off that they made the Significant charge so boring though. The Carcinomancy fan school had a much more interesting Significant charge that let you take one whenever you wanted, at the cost of permanently raising your addiction score which basically turns into a stress check whenever you see a smoke.

Should I just have an enemy just roll of a crit first fight so it's quicker? It's like watching Jamaica enter the Winter Olympics.

We all know you don't split the party, right /tg/?
What about the roles that seem to want a solo section in every encounter?
>I'm a sniper
>I run drones remotely
>I jack into the Matrix
>I go into the Astral Plane
>I scout ahead
>Someone has to fly the ship/drive the van/steer the wagon
How do we deal with the one guy who isn't actually in the scene EVERY scene?

Many of these things can be combined.
>>
>>50831500
So if a player takes one solo role, they have to take them all?
Doesn't solve the problem that either the rest of the party has their thumb up their butt for several turns, or the solo guy is out of luck (or affecting the game but invulnerable like the sniper).

Well you could just make it a small carriage with a window. As for a ship then just have cameras or old Victorian style gramophone things everywhere depending on the setting.
