Wait. I know you...

They're commoners with armor and weapons, and trained to use them. Quality of said skill varies by size of town/wealth of employer

>>50504712
You must be making a mistake...

>>50500071

I kinda agree, but axes are still useful. A long enough haft makes it a good pole weapon, and axes have more utility and robustness due to the more obtuse grind of the edge. The momentum and slowness of the swing can also be used to advantage.

Not a good dueling weapon, sure, but better on the battlefield than something like a dagger. Paired with a shield and with a proper axe built solely for war, they're not bad.

Axe thread?

>>50500109
>dagger
>bad on battlefield

not at all people used it when they grappled or to finish someone off

>>50497435
Because he was just a man in an age of gene-forged demigods and the Emperor. He preformed few, if any heroic feats and his most noteworthy achievement was accomplished at a time when nobody would of been remembered.

He was a vital man, but still just a man

>>50497477

>when nobody would of been remembered.

That alone makes him all the more worthy of adoration. His death wasn't slow and in fact brutal and painful and he died willingly without being asked or told. The last few moments he was alive was spent in pure insanity.

He's a fucking hero m8.

Extremely powerful psyker, apparantly second only to the emperor.

Thunderchild
Spirit of Man

Every single ship name from the Culture series, gems include: "No More Mr Nice Guy", "Just Read The Instructions", "Of Course I Still Love You", and "What Are The Civilian Applications?"

>>50495956
I have pages of ship names that I'll never use. Beside the obvious names like "Leisurely Xenocide" and "If You Can Read This We're Ramming" I've always been a fan of adjective naming.

For example, if you have an Adamant-class heavy cruiser, the following ships would be named as such;
>Admirable
>Acute
>Advantage
>Aggressor
>Alacrity
>Antagonist

And so on and so forth. No idea what to do when I run out of letters or words. I'll probably have to resort to naming ships after people or something.

>>What rpg has the best skill /task resolution system?
OD&D.

>>what makes it the best?
It has no skills.

>>how does it work?
If your class is considered to have an ability to do something, you can roll under your related attribute to succeed at doing it.

>>50495688

Although I'm not a fan of the system, GURPS has a pretty good skill system. It uses 3d6 for its resolution mechanic, so characters tend to perform consistently, and it scales its skills both by basing them on stats, and by grading them by difficulty (which determines how expensive they are to buy / improve).

>>50495688
>>What rpg has the best skill /task resolution system?
d100/BRP

>>what makes it the best?
Skills can be as broad or narrow as desired and are easily assigned a base value to improve over time without level and class gates. There are simple systems to scale difficulty based on situation or work as an individual or team.

>>how does it work?
If you have the ability to do something you have an easy to comprehend competence number to target, and if you are not you can either do it at a base value or not do it at all. With the way it scales it's much easier to get an appropriate difficulty and the granulation means characters slowly improve session to session in a meaningful way.

Maybe not "noble", but here's an elder.

>>50494585
Bumping. Really good game. Half-orc barbarian.

>>50494585
Damn, another RPG added to the pile I'm working through right now.

i can deal with bad graphics and text only, thats not an issue

but I just can't play a game wherein the UI and text is literally for ants.

any way to get this UI to scale for a 1440p screen?

You know, I actually do enjoy these threads. Yeah, they're a shitty meme... but they're still a fairly new shitty meme that hasn't lost the novelty yet.

Uhh.. nuhuh.

A real villain? I still cant decide.
Does tearing a major asshole in the world to a dream world and becoming a God of Humanity and granting said humanity gift of magic (without this ashhole in the future, there would be no wizards and magic in the past) does count as an evil deed? Provided for creating said asshole he sacrificed a LOT of wizards. Genocide whole magical civilization in fact.

>>50492903
I uh, accidentally did this?

Decided to run a one-shot for my players as an intro to the campaign with throw-away characters. They decided to play a gang of male prositute brothers who run a firm called "Bronzebeard Bronzebeard Bronzebeard & Bronzebeard."

They went shopping for thongs.

So 5e I guess.

>>50493004
Please tell me there is more to this story. What class\background did they take? I''m assuming it was all-dwarf?

No one wants to play as your mom op.

>>50492022
>Oh yeah? What are you gonna do? Make this thread?

>I have an idea

>>50492022
>download magica for the first time
>go in blind with friend
>complete the game in one continuous session, and then immediately do it again by just killing everything with black holes
10/10 experience, would have another round of late night black hole insanity again.

That left arm is so uncomfortable to look at

Better budget than previous editions.

Digital art allows for a lot of shortcuts (cloning, etc.) that let mediocre artists compete with people who have a deeper technical knowledge, but it's cheaper to hire a 20-something with a tablet than to hire someone who paints by hand.

>>50487214
Good covers. That's about it.

>>50485208
Yes, probably. As a species we're pretty adaptive and resourceful. We probably wouldn't be the star of the show, but we probably would be around.

>>50485208
Depends on how strong those entities are, how much they can fuck with the laws of physics - that is, how bad they can fuck up the principles behind human technology - and so on. Obviously. he question can't be given any universally true answer.

Chitin armor < modern rifles.
Range of teeth < range of modern rifles.

Would monsters and demons be able to survive in a world full of humans?
Witches are a different matter.

>Don't really see how, and Resilience is much better than that Merit. And that Merit is much better with Resilience.
Oops. I meant Coil of the Wyrm 5

>>50479317
Coil of the Wyrm 5 is much better.
Dying On Your Feet means not going into Torpor until combat is over.
Eternal Frenzy means not going into Torpor until Frenzy is over, and that Frenzy is, well... says it right there on the tin.

In Eternal Frenzy you also get to add Blood Potency to attacks, Defense, Speed, and Health.

Goodnight, sweet prince. I will miss you, even if I didn't find Lone Wolf that good as others do.
>>50475882
Fuck you, anon. Just fuck you.

I loved the Lone Wolf gamebooks. It was some of the earliest fantasy I ever read and what I grew up with. Magnamund is an amazing fantasy world. He will be missed. RIP Joe Dever.
