okay, ive not been keeping up with the latest db retardation but what the fuck is this shit?

Depends what the problem is

>So, when building a character with emotional scars/mental illness.
Oh boy here we go.

>How early would you say it'd be ideal to show that the character has them?
That entirely depends on how you show it and how obvious your display is, the illness itself and whether you actually show it or "show" them by just telling the reader through the most obvious display possible that doesn't involve saying "Dave has Autism".

>So as to not come off as cliche or overly edgy?
You know that way you've seen that illness/injury shown on [well-regarded and critically acclaimed media source]? Don't do that, you're making a cliche even if it isn't already there. Also, watch other things that have characters like this, find ways that come off as cliche/edgy to you, and figure out what made you think they were cliche/edgy. Don't do those.

>I should also note that the character isn't particularly edgy or lolsodeep, but rather, her scars play a role in shaping who she is, and also because I want an MC who is more of a fuck up than a Mary Sue
I don't believe you but okay.

I was contemplating kicking off the entire story with a dream sequence of showcasing guilt. One that's eerie, and feels very much like real life, before becoming into a nightmarish descent into insanity and then her waking up.

Something that showcases how she feels burdened and guilty by the loss of someone dear to her.

Her entire character arc is about self understanding, and seeking purpose in life, as she's someone rather aimless and purposeless overall. I contrast her by having some of the other central character being very driven characters with very strong and well-defined purposes in life.

Harlequins are fine, one of the best armies if played correctly. They don't need a fix.

>>50741568

>implying that "Dark Eldar, but actually decent" needs to be fixed

Literally all that codex needs is more units.

Remove Overwatch.

If magic is part of the universe then it is a force that exists objectively.
You cannot have science while ignoring one of the basic forces that shape your universe. Studying magic without also understanding the other aspects of the universe is not going to get you anywhere either.
For example a healing spell would inherently require an intricate knowledge of anatomy. unless it consists of the calling upon other intelligent entities to do the actual work for you.

It is an cheap and artificial separation to create some diversity when the author cannot come up with more interesting cultural differences.

Not necessarily. Sympathetic magic that relies more upon symbolism and abstract links is perfectly reasonable to have in a setting, and doesn't require that element of intellectualism or actual understanding.

Extremely thought based magic, including variants like magic-as-programming or magic mathematics are cool, but they're far from the only way of doing magic.

>Not sure if metallurgy would have problems without coal.
Steel is basically iron+coal, so yes, there would be problems.

>>50740176
Aaaand 10 seconds after I posted that I realized that you can use charcoal for that, never mind.

>>50740161
Anon, we already had a thread about this going around. A biopunk thread, where anons already explained how ridiculously efficient and easy to make bio-fuels are

So at least in department of getting direct replacement for engine fuel you are fine.

Depends on the setting?
What kind of space habitat is it?
Is it a satellite of a major planet?
Is it a satellite around a star without a habitable planet nearby?
Is it a vagabond spaceship traveling at FTL speeds from port to port?
Is it a realistic spaceship on a lonely journey through the emptiness of space?

Hard and from behind.

>>50739896
Careful, collectivist. Fanatic about maintenance, cleanliness.

EVA hand signals-but only in an EVA suit or an open environment. Otherwise no hand gestures whatsoever.

Agoraphobic. Wide open space means either vacuum, or a space that can't be escaped from quickly if a breach happens. Unless you're in a body that's rated for vacuum, then it's alright.

>>50739733
Is there more, or will you be working on that in the near future?

>>50739873
There's definitely more to go. I'm working on it at the moment, actually. I'm figuring out XP costs for character improvement, e.g. attribute raises. I'd like to also add some subclasses like the Panzer Ritter (which I currently have enough data on to add to the game without any blanks), and if I'm pretty lucky I'll find details of some monsters.

>>50739895
Do you have an ETA on any? I think you might want to save this thread until you have a bit more to show... No offense, I mean, I really appreciate all that and you're doing an amazing job, but like this I'm just not seeing this garnering a lot of interest.

>>50739431
No. And for that matter, stop projecting, pleb OP.

Like, fuck, man-that was only 16 Editions ago.

Picking up from last thread, what exactly does Luna do that's so terrible? I don't really know much about her, other than her being the goddess of the moon, and waifu to gaia.

>>50739461
She's a psychotic whore.

>The problems started when we were informed of a band of bandits who were harassing scores of towns and villages, which curiously enough weren't on or near farmlands, mines or any such resources.
>Was informed of this as this would be the perfect opportunity for the younger paladin to test his mettle. David was giddy with excitement in his first ever assignment, but I thought he would soon learn to not celebrate such assignments as they would often result in killings
>David and I travel to the towns and villages that were attacked, and things started to get sour between us. I attempted to gather as much information as possible about the attacks, the bandits and how long ago the attacks happened, for the question of why was answered the moment we reached those towns. I was hoping to assist the villagers by curing their wounds and assisting them however I can, but that wasn't to be.
>All the surviving victims of the bandit attacks were gruesomely mutilated and degraded, the recent dead rounded up, bound and collectively immolated to death, and from eyewitness accounts to seeing for myself the bandits torched everything they could get their hands on- even the food storage, nothing was taken.
>These bandits burned and murdered for fun. Doesn't make sense though, how could such a group sustain themselves without food, weapons or other materials?
>During all of our visits, David would merely ask the locals where the bandits were and, after making bold sweeping statements about doing good for the people, immediately set of on the first bit of information to where he thought the hideout was.

>>50739422
>The first time he did this, I tried to pull him up on his actions and tried discussing with him why it was important to visit the towns first, but he interrupted me with a question that infuriated me... "Why are you stalling when evil is afoot?"
>It wasn't the question itself, but his manner that got to me, his smirking seemed to say that he knew he was right and I was wrong.
>I repressed my anger and tried to explain to him that going into the woods unprepared was a recipe for disaster, but I found that David's preferred method of argument was to talk louder than your opponent. I had to order him to stay with me until we learn more about what we were up against. He objected by stating that what I am doing is not what real paladins do, but still obeyed my orders.
>After investigating, helping the needy, and coping with the strain in relationship with David, I finally learned of the actual location of the bandit hideout, their numbers and the condition of their gear. We prepared for battle and the wilderness before heading off to the hideout, and to cut a long story short me, David and other able bodied men stormed the hideout, defeating the bandits. Interrogation and questioning reveals that they WERE killing for fun and were being paid by an unknown benefactor, their leader slitting his own throat before we could face him in battle. Very strange behavior for a bandit leader.
>According to the laws of the land, these bandits were to be taken to the nearest city where the jury would make a decision on their fates based on the reports of us and the villagers. David does what I believe to be the most stupidest thing in this situation.

>>50739432
>He declares that he will redeem one of the bandits and set him on the right path. Essentially, David is forcing the bandit to convert to our faith, not only that but this means that said bandit will be spared from the trial. The rest of the bandits catch on to this and plead for mercy, fully intent on using David as a get-out-of-jail-free card.
>Naturally I object to this and try to explain why doing what he's about to do will cheat the bandit's victims out of getting the justice they have been asking for. No sooner than I bring up the villagers than David starts raising his voice about how the bandits have a right to live and that I should fall for letting them get killed by the kingdom.
>My emotions got the better of me and I tore into him verbally, what was said between us forgotten over the noise and emotions until it finally ended with him attacking me with his fists and me knocking him out before he could land a blow. I then realized that this had gotten serous, and that the men who joined us were both shocked and disappointed in what they saw. The bandits were crestfallen that their escape from punishment was now unconscious
>I led the bandits to the nearest military outpost for them to take to the courts, spread the news to the villagers (which was difficult, because David regained consciousness and berated me before heading off back to the monastery) and reported what had happened with the bandits, and them informing me of the accusations David has made against me.
>The accusations were dropped when the order got testimonies about what really happened from the villagers and the men who accompanied us, but the teaching of David was bequeathed to another similarly experienced paladin.

>>50739360
>Food can be grown with hydroponics and power is a cinch thanks to fusion/fission plants.

So here's the issue with that setting then:
How is the surface inhospitable?
With that kind of tech, we're looking at pretty easy geodesic domes and moon colonization.

>>50739381
Radioactive fallout? Something that makes it far more efficient to just move underground. Either that or perhaps a more alien threat. They prowl the surface but generally can't find / attack the arcologies.

Until they can.

Those pictures don't match.
In the first panel, he's missing the elbow (and everything beyond that).
In the third panel, he's just missing his hand.

The player is cheatig.

"I'm going to die anyway, can i get instakills on all attacks until they sishkebab me?"
"eh sure, i love last stands. go for it."

he proceeded to kill 3 other players before he was stopped

+++ Dark Mechanicus deployment begins +++

I hope the rumours about that are true, as well as the combined Codex. Along with IA14, looking like a good year for Admech.

Is it just me sucking at painting as usual, or are the Mechanicus really tricky to paint? I probably shouldn't have picked them for my first army, they have almost Deldar levels of spikes. Tried and Inquisitiors and their Acolytes and had a much easier time of it.

whats the most effective units for orks?

>>50738908

>>50738804
I have not played it so I can't give you any advice, but after its over you should come and tell us about it, because it's a game I kinda want to try out and I'm curious.

>>50738857
Will surely deliver. So far the party is composed of an hilariously arrogant human knight, some kinda noble religious human zealot chick, a human barbarian shaman and my tree-wielding orc lady, first session is scheduled to be after christmas.
