so hey my friend was talking to me about wh40k and mentioned that in the Heresy book series they confirmed the real Alpharius is dead not some stand in. apparently John French confirmed it... so now i dont know what to think. is he lying? is it just an opinion? is John French Alpherius trying to pretend he isnt? was it just some XX legionnaire? am i Alpherius? is my neighbor Alpherius?
>>50495510
>le le le le alpharius may may
Nope, faggot is dead.
Killed by Dorn without much ceremony.
>>50495510
Supposedly happens in praetorian of dorn but I haven't read it soooooo.
Just BL fucking my shit up.
Every officer in the Alpha Legion is Alpharius. Some are more Alpharius than most, and one is more Alpharius than all.
That one is alive.
Or Death Knights, Chaos Warriors, Paladins, anybody covered head to toe in plate armor and ready to ruin somebody's day.

I haven't seen many posts about this period of RPG's history.
I'm sure than some of you guys were already players at that time.
So how did it felt ? the fact that your innocent hobby could get you into serious troubles just because some idiots claimed it was satanic ?
>>50494442
It actually never happened. It was liberal media trolling people into believing conservatives are retards yet again. Only Chick and three other assholes ever gave a quantum of a fuck about rpgs.
Yeah, it mostly wasn't a thing. Some churches encouraged their members to confiscate and destroy the books where they could find them, but it was mostly rumors. Someone heard that a someone's cousin's friend went crazy playing D&D. Nobody ever had any proof.
>>50494815
>>50494714
>T. People not from the Bible belt or religious houses
No, plenty of otherwise very reasonable people believed that d&d, magic the gathering, and other assorted autism was literally the work of the devil. Has everyone forgotten the harry Potter protests, or am I just that old?
How do you deal with sex in your games, /tg/?
At some point it will inevitably come up. So... how do you handle it? Fade to black?
>>50494138
Adding further, what do you do if another player is attempting to seduce your character?
Fade to black.
>>50494138
>At some point it will inevitably come up.
Nope. We've got 3 Mormons in our group of six, and one of them is the GM. It doesn't come up.

Well yeah, have you seen the alternatives?
Besides the Tau anyway, but they came much later.

Explain to me using a food analogy
>>50488817
It's like tofu. You can use it to simulate many different experiences, but at the end of the day you're just eating tofu.
>>50488817
Its shit. Just like every common system.
>>50488817
It's like Asparagus.
Everybody likes to eat asparagus every day for every meal, right? Because asparagus is both delicious AND healthy and can be a substitute for every meal.
What do you view as the necessities in a cyberpunk setting? What places and people, conflicts and friendships, men and machines?Writing the setting to go with a cyberpunk RPG in progress, and I want to make sure I don't miss too much.
Megacorporations.
Prosthetics.
Militarized police.

Topic from the Discord chat (https://discord.gg/KmXzbwD) I'm interested in folks' opinions on:
What is skew?
Is the attached list a skew?
>>50484562
Has NQ 69 been liberated already or not yet? If yes could someone post a link please?
Thanks in advance
>>50484598
Skew is presenting one challenge and that challenge to extreme and banking on opponent's inability to cope as the victory condition.
Your list is not a skew. It's just double dipping.
What are you currently playing?
What do you hate to sit down across from?
How did you do at your last FNM?
When's your next big tourney?
What are you playing there?
How many people are you borrowing cards from?
What was the filthiest, most savage thing you've done in a sanctioned tournament?
>>50483947
>What was the filthiest, most savage thing you've done in a sanctioned tournament?
Playing with fakes
>>50483947
You are such a butthurt faggot.
>>50483969
Those china men are hard working, honest people. Gotta buy the fakes so they can feed their families.For realzies, if you have the real cards, use them. Kindly fuck off you have a problem with people playing better than you with fake cards. Maybe if you actually practiced the game, you would be better at this game, like the guy with fakes.
Police, fire fighters, and medics from Cyberpunk and general Sci-Fi.

And thus, No Fun Allowed became Law.
Worshiping the wrong deity, swearing, missing holy days, ignoring your parents, murder, cheating on your wife, theft, lying, and merely desiring another man's wife or belongings leads to punishment.

>"Glimpse of Nature...FUCK."
Not all errors I've made, but all errors I've seen. What about you guys?
>>50476188
None is in a good spot right now, though I think Belcher and High Tide are probably better positioned than the others. Don't know how long that will last, and I'm sticking with ANT for the time being. Still a strong deck, though not in a great spot right now.

What can I do to convey a more fairytale kind of world?
>>50475538
>>What different models of slavery exist in your setting?
Serfism is not uncommon in the rural areas. True slavery is uncommon, but it exists in the wilderness region, and there is a form of debt slavery/indentured servitude that harlots and others might find themselves in.
Also, serfism varies from nation to nation. Some are not awful, some are, and include up to primae noctis
>>In which nations would you find the largest portion of the population being enslaved?
The holdfast of Rekke almost 50% of the population is enslaved. But it a small nation.
>>What notable rebellions have been orchestrated by the common people?
There has been a number of peasant revolts, and in the old past (about 1,000 years prior) There was a major slave revolt that ended slavery in most of the world. The most recent peasant revolt was 14 years ago sparked by a food shortage.
>>What notable rebellions have been orchestrated by high ranking traitors?
The 2nd empire of man fell due to a cult leading a assassination campaign and revolt. The cult leader was Philippi de Vort, a member of the large council.
>>Who are the most famous traitors?
Philippi de Vort, and Queen Nersa, who killed her father in law, 3 brothers, and husband to place her son on the throne.
>>50475705
Well, for starters, you should read a shitload of fairytales and absorb the common themes.
The most difficult thing to convey about fairytales is that they are largely moral-driven, in that every story tries to teach some kind of lesson (even if sometimes the lesson is something horrible by today's standards).
What a fairytale is, most of all, is fairly short. There aren't many stories that extend across arcs and arcs of adventure that can still be called a "Fairy Tale" so whatever the campaign may be, it'll likely end up being a oneshot or twoshot.

You're right, but then again, most skills dont benefit one's career, so most people don't have skills. You only get skillpoints if you are a hobbyist or professionally involved in the field. A skill rank of 2-3 is common for hobbyists, 3-4 for professionals, and goes up from there.
So, a normal person isn't going to have points in con, negotiate or etiquette, because normal social interaction functions on a skill level of 0. Which is why a low attribute score is a big deal. If you skill up a dumpstat skill, you're basically training to overcome your natural ineptitude.
So, yekka, any chance you are in the thread and can explain what is going on here?
>>50464264
Chummer doesn't play nice with high DPI settings, unfortunately. Your font size is screwing up the positioning. I passed it off to one of the other devs to look into a while back, I may have to take it back.
