Giants take traits similar to societies they are born from. A mining community may spawn a giant that has ore deposits in their skin. Or a nomadic society may have the features of a herd animal common to that region.

FIRST FOR STALL FINALS ROUND 1

GINGDOM OF IND VS WHEN YOUR DUDE(S ARE) SNAKES

ok one per game like RRs that's not too bad. I don't see why you wouldn't want one game one especially with rats. there's not really a reason not to if you can get 11 guys and 3 rerolls game one right?

>>50696769

Starting with an apo and 3 RR's is pretty standard for rats, yeah.

I was the OP, I admit.

Mostly wanted to see if this trainwreck can be revived.

All in all, my Misfortune system has gone through an entire rehaul. I still need to remodel the YankESP pdf:s to have the same information as the current version.

New things:

>Despair Mechanic: Imagine it as my own rendition of the TBZ's death-mechanic... Somewhat. You gain Despair when you fail when stakes are high, fail miserably or push your character to get autosuccesses or massive bonuses to rolls.
>If you roll same or under your Despair, you gain a detriment: First one is Self-Doubt, second is Grievous injury and third one is Death.
>Despair heals really slowly, so it is really dangerous in the long run.

>New rules for Powers, whatever they are in the setting:
>You never roll against your Ordinary score, instead whether you can activate your Powers is dependent of the same roll. If you roll over your Ordinary score, you can activate your powers freely, if you roll same or lower, you can activate it, but you gain one Strain.
>Strain works as a number stacking on top of your Ordinary score. If your Ordinary + Strain = 10, your character runs out of juice.

>Reintroduced stacks as a general mechanic, works the same as before.

Still to add:

>All-out: Using strain until Ordinary + Strain = 11 and getting X amount of bonus to a roll. (Probably huge amounts).

Always pop up when I'm at work. Course, that feels like I'm here all the time these days.

I like the idea of it, it seems like it works better in a one-shot format rather than a multi-session format though. Overall though, nice progress.
>>50665890
Such is life, been a while since I've seen one of these threads and I've been meaning to get some feedback.

Now, here is HVM, described by some as the bastard child of Savage Worlds and Dungeon World. Originally started out as me trying to make Not!Conan (hence the name), but soon developed into a generic system.

Additions since 1.3
>Removed Valor, it was a meta-currency that I liked, but was a hold over from previous editions.
>Put in Open Resource, pretty much the "I want my game to have X," like a Wealth Mechanic, Insanity, etc
>Renamed my 2d6's to Action Dice. They can, and should be, abused by your GM.
>Added Advanced Combat, adding more to do during a combat encounter if that's what you want out of the game.
>Tweaked some of the numbers for combat.

Also, BUMP FOR THE BUMP GODS

who's trolling the sister's with these sigmarine conversions?

3rd for Alpha legion.

Bump...

Rolled 7 (1d100)

Okay, I'll play

>>50783795

Our creature thrives in a dense saturated jungle filled with diverse wildlife.

...

Could I please get a 1d10?

Remember that damage is maxed out at point blank range and doubled for headshots. A rinky dink 2d6 pistol does 24 damage if you shoot someone in the back of the head with it. Also remember that armor degrades and does not stack linearly. Those parts of the combat system exist for a reason.
But yeah, pistols are not the weapons you use for heavy duty combat, and full auto wrecks people if you hit with it. Just how it is.

>>50782032
Also keep in mind that 8 damage destroys a limb, or at least renders it a useless hunk of meat, and that includes the head.

Oh, you also have to keep in mind legality and police response. Nobody bats an eye at someone wearing light/concealed armor and carrying a pistol. Maxtac gets a call when someone strolls in wearing MetalGear and carrying an assault rifle. In the Combat Zone, it doesn't really matter. Anywhere civilized, you have to watch your appearance and can't just haul around the big guns.

>>50781459
Recasting is bad, stop trying to put GW out of business, they don't deserve such horrible treatment by the supposed customer base, how dare you!

>>50781459
Its alright, though honestly I dont see the point. Unless you're playing for fun, which nobody does anymore, your army wont change very much over time, so saving up to make an army that works isnt that unreasonable.

>>50781459
It's not as cheap as you think, especially starting up when you are just trying to get things going. Especially after so much trial and error of getting things figured out. Even when following the advice of an experience caster, you find your beginning molds and casts are generally failures.

Materials are not cheap. You use a lot of 2part resins, and they are only cheap when bought in mass bulk.

So if you are just wanting 5 more terminators and not willing to shell out $50 for a brand new plastic kit, then be willing to shell out $75 for shoddy soft detail recasts.

However when you get the method down and get a good assembly line going, then it becomes worth it as you can make a lot with it.

So it depends on your goals with it. A lot of recasters seek to sell their recasts to pay for more materials and make the whole effort worth their while.

Otherwise just buy chinese recasters and hope for the best.

>>50781386
Wouldn't a commissar still have authority over Rogue Trader forces if they were mercenaries bonded to the Imperium?

>>50782862
Talon's a junior commissar, and a bad one at that. Probably trying to figure out how to make a case to the senior commissar.

Fuck yeah Eagle

>I tend to trust /tg/ about 40k more than your local neckbeard, but as someone who doesn't know a lot about the hobby, they're better about explaining it than I imagine we are.

I mean you're describing variance, first and foremost /tg/ is super biased to be negative, if something isn't tournament competitive we call is shit and cry about how big bad evil GW has shit in our sundae, then we go take our marine demi-battle-companies to a local store with all our free rhinos and complain how AoS squatted fantasy.

On average a random in a local store will be much less...opinionated than us, and they might even admit that warp talons are super cool looking and would be fun to paint.

The fact is we can explain the hobby, but teaching a game requires visual stimulation which a character limited and anonymous image board can't provide. Hence in person demos and/or youtube tutorials.

What people here forget is that just because something isn't tournament viable doesn't mean it's unplayable, not everyone is WAAC and in fact most people don't play tournaments.

>>50781367
you're doing alpharius' work anon, I love you

Tell me about moments of horror where you realized your character was in over their head. Those sort of "oh shit" moments where you suddenly realize you underestimated the enemy or that you poked the sleeping bear.

You lack conviction.

>>50780094
None so far. Closest was when my character got temporarily potato'd by a wizard, but he got better and proceeded to utilize the wizard's ass as a temporary scabbard.

Don't just describe the giant, describe the things the giant does just by existing.
>The ground shatters under his feet, the surrounding countryside shaking after ever step.
>His breathing can be heard for thousands of feet.
>His sword not only buries itself dozens of meters into the mountainside, but the shockwave in the wind uproots trees and shatters stone.

>>50779920
> on the horizon you see a giant large enough to tower over the spires of (place name).
> his greatsword is almost as large as he is.
Etc...

>>50779920
Abstract it.
>The giant's height is beyond your reckoning, with a girth to match.
>At his side he carries a sword forged from many veins of metal.
>Armor thicker than a castle's wall rings a torso larger than most mountains.
So on and so forth.

Mutants and Masterminds, Hero System, etc would be better systems to run the game. Character background and power generation methods it uses are excellent for the style of game, regardless of the system.

>>50779954
>Character background and power generation methods
Explain

>>50780009
You build the character's physical stats and background up to the trigger event. A trigger event is basically the worst moment of the worst day of your life, the moment you realise that everything has gone horribly wrong and there's nothing you can do. The exact nature of a trigger event roughly correlates to what kind of power that person receives. The exact power though is decided by council, which is every player other than you. You can't talk at all during the discussion and the council looks over guidelines and classifications before hammering out the exact details of whatever power you get.

>>50779436
Well, if you're in a setting where revolvers don't exist I'd say he isn't.

>>50779436
I miss the good Doctor Whos.

>>50779453
I'd say that's a terrible setting.

>>50780490
Me too anon.

1st for 5e > 4e

threadly reminder: loot used to be called treasure

Second for 4e is a good resource.
