So, having watched this movie again and been reminded why Christianity eventually worked out like it did, I'm now wondering how can pull off that kind of divine-human-interaction shenanigans in a game. I mean, the involvement of pagan (let's face it, this is as pagan as the Hebrew God's been) deities, with their whole amazing "I destroy nations when they piss me off" attitude being counterbalanced by a lowly mortal who is less the guy painting targets for their god-nukes and more "the guy who pleads with them not to kill ALL the humans" when they wake up on the wrong side of bed. Sort of a reverse cleric, in a sense. One where it's the god who's in charge and the cleric begs. It works for a story but I'm seeing all kinds of ways it may not work so well around the table, what with making the character far less powerful.
Suggestions?

>reminded why Christianity eventually worked out like it did
Why did it?
>>50725557
A brilliant PR team.
>>50725557
It promised people who were used to pic related a god who was caring and kind and not looking for the first opportunity to destroy the world.
Can we have a minor but fun superpowers thread? Or useless powers? I need ideas.
Also, which of these is the coolest power set:
Which of these is the coolest power/set:
Swarm form (insects)
2D form - becomes flat, can adhere/move along walls/slip through cracks
telekinesis - limitation: specific types of substances? water/earth/airbending/Magneto/etc
paragon - captain america/jack of all trades hyper human
gravity manipulation
earth manipulation
super luck/super bad luck
>>50721797
Swarm form is nearly as good as 2d form for infiltration, and has a lot more combat application. If you give me the choice between 2d form and swarm form, I'll be taking the latter, every time.
Bump.
Guess I'll throw out a few to make it interesting.
Ability to always be on time
Never accidentally lose anything
your batteries/power supply never runs out
containers are endless while you use them
you can find exactly the information you look for on Google on your first attempt
ability to remain perfectly calm in any situation
ability to induce euphoria
ability to tidy a room/space instantly by snapping your fingers
ability to put objects/possessions on autopilot (make your broom sweep by itself, make your dinner cook itself, make your computer find and download all of the material on your media need to watch list, etc)
>>50721797
Swarm form is neat, but depending on how it actually works super luck is coolest.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: We are Release Day+2 on Rogue One. Please exercise proper spoiler usage when discussion it. That is all, people.
>>50719413I was a bit surprised they used the whole Mujahedeen look for the extremists Rebels. I mean they are still the good guys even though they are extremists.[/spoilers]
>>50719497
>Rebels
>Good Guys
>>50719497it was an interesting choice. I think their willingness to kill bystanders and comfort with hurting people in the way of their missions is a really good demonstration of the differences between the various rebel factions. Hearing rebel leaders later discussing surrender amongst alliance personnel was also very interesting.
How can mermaids have metallurgy if they can't create fire underwater?
>>50719126
Do you even oceanic vents, bro?
>>50719126
Magma is a thing, as are volcanic vents. It's difficult, but not impossible to properly smelt things underwater.
Also, stop reading into it too much. It's a Disney movie, the setting revolves around the story, not the other way around.
>>50719126
Electroplating.
oh shit it's the inquisitor, everybody act cool!

You fell for the old Fake Inquisitor dodge!

Help me friends, I was given a box of orks, and I've never played orks before. Beyond the fact that they're mega fucked up, I'm trying to figure out what models I actually have so I can decide what I need to buy. I'm gonna dump some pics, if anyone could point out what is what I'd be very grateful
>>50729755
>>50729764
damn I didn't realize this was such a fast board, bumpin!
Would The Foundation universe, from the Isaac Asimov books, make a good setting for a tabletop game?
>>50729625
Honestly I would rather play in a game heavily inspired by foundation than a direct tabletop game. I think the early stories would be fun, uniting the star systems with superior technology and SCIENCE.
>>50729783
I haven't read Foundation (though it's on my list), but that sounds like a more imperialistic Star Trek.
Boldly assimilating where no man has assimilated before
>>50729957
It's literally the rise and fall of the roman empire in a sci fi setting.
>The setting has monsters that are only vulnerable in moonlight and can spread their disease vamp style.
What can be some explanations for why they haven't steam rolled everyone else yet?
A global system of moon mirrors / lighthouses that incorporate moon chunks.
Just lazy
Blind in sunlight
Crippled in something else
>>50728745
Moonlight collects in pools and veins, creating the metals Mercury and Silver, which can be used in all manner of crafts and ritual to make weapons and wards against the horrors of the unblinking Sun.
>>50728783
Probably something magical and/or metaphysical, depending on the setting.
What /tg/ approved /tg/ approval is the MOST /tg/ approved?
We must know for science.
>>50728330
Probably the image of the wizard that says "THE BEST THREAD ON /tg/ RIGHT NOW".
>>50728330
Nothing. Even if it's the best thing EVER, there will be a fagoot who will yell "STOP HAVING FUN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE".
There is no thing that tg approve. One day it's approved, other - forgotten or vilified.
Tg hates everything.

Armageddon edition
I have a gaming session in 3 hours and 0 ideas
Help me /tg/entlemen
Party is level 2 in D&D 3.5 (don't ask)
Pally, druid, rogue, monk and wizard
Their current objective is to find some magic items. They have no clue of what these items are nor where to find them, so they're going to visit a Good high level wizard NPC they've heard of.
Here's what I got for now:
They get to the wizard's area, rumors are his tower always moves (instant fortress), find a old lady in the forest, who is actually the wizard disguised that wants to test them and see if they're worth helping
What do I do
>>50727412
Have them stumble through a portal to 1980s New York City.
>>50727421
Thing is:
It's a new group, they're all good fellas and we're really enjoying ouselves, I don't want to just throw some random filler bullshit as their third session ever

What do you, as a GM, do when your PCs are too dumb to live? I recently threw my players a lifeline that by all narrative rights they "shouldn't" have to avoid a TPK by default, but I felt a bit dirty about it.
>Going on expedition, take along 2 NPCs with them, one because he in character knows a lot about the ruins they're heading to, and the second one because they think she's a traitor and want to keep an eye on her.
>Adventuring along.
>Come across a crevasse, too wide to jump, and homebrew system doesn't have the sort of mobility magic to fly or levitate or otherwise cross.
>They manage to fashion a makeshift rope bridge with grappling hooks thrown across and spiking the ends down on their side.
>Not easy to cross, but doable.
>Allow the borderline traitorous NPC character, that I want to re-iterate they were pretty sure was a traitor, to go last.
>She tosses off a level 2 flame spell on the rope bridge when everyone's clambering across and then runs off.
I just. Wut? If she's too dangerous to let out of your sight, why do you act all buddy buddy like that?
>>50727172
Sometimes players (not PCs) get distracted and need reminders.
>>50727172
If they're too dumb to live, don't let them live.
Death is very instructive to future generations.
>>50727200
At least in my experience, it hasn't been.
Death in RPGs does little to deter stupid behavior, because the players are pretty confident that they can just roll up new characters whenever something happens to the last one.
In fact, the groups I tend to go with a lighter touch on tend to form more attachment to the characters going hardcore and punishing all mistakes with "realistic" consequences tends to have them thinking of their characters as just statblocks.
Stat me, /tg/
woof
I'm glad the epic pomeranian meme has almost died out on /tg/.
THATS A CORGI, MOTHERFUCKER
