We can, but we won't.

Cyber augmented soldiers become the elite corporate stooges. Lojacked systems preclude the users natural senses, and as they are sent to disperse the unemployed bums of the megacities, they see only harsh resistors in need of a shock stick crackdown. Meanwhile, the simple diseased pacifists are crushed under the corporate elite bootheel once again.

people can do anything as long as they believe they can.

I challenge you to come up with an entire world based on this premise, including a coherent society and history.

Have fun.

No one makes their own stuff for games?

am I in the wrong board for this?

Hello? bump

Voodoo counts as wizardry right?

Who needs a shield

>>50491040

Depends on the kind of voodoo. Real world vodou/voodoo generally involves lots of possession and honoring/petitioning of spirits, so it'd be a bit further away from your usual D&D-ish type of wizardry.

if you havent GM'd before, you should NOT BE MESSING WITH BALORS
>that being said, use fewer dice rolls and look up inspirational speeches and shit. D&D is an RPG, lose the dice and RP. i let my players do that instead of rolling. if they come up with a great argument and have shitty CHA, i consider it a nat 20 because even an autist can make a valid point.

>It just seems weird to me, in a roleplaying game, I should be using dicerolls to do something where I and the players could just be roleplaying characters.

If it seems weird to you, that's fine. You can just roleplay as much as you want, and ignore needing to roll charisma checks if that seems natural to you.

I would suggest that you might want to consider fast-forwarding through some roleplaying on occasion. A minor scene of convincing the stubborn inn keeper to let you stay for half price if the bard plays for an hour might be fun, but those five minutes of roleplaying could be better spent in a more plot centric fashion, and a simple charisma check and a short description is more than sufficient to slip through that small scene.

And, it's good to ask for deception checks whenever the players are going for a big lie. You don't need to ask for one after every small fib, but if the players are trying to convince a character of something, it's good practice to call for that charisma check.

Finally, charisma is force of personality, which is why a Balor, who can easily convince just about anyone to do their bidding, has a high charisma. An attractive appearance, after all, might only be a component of charisma, one that could be superseded by other facets such as personality or even a horrific appearance.

>>50490850
First off, its used for all sovial interactions, so it isnt just looks or charm, it is also how effectively you can communicate and be understood, amd it is used for intimidation as well as persuasion, which is why the monster in your picture would have it.

As for how and when to roll, you use it in conjunvtion with what players say. It determines more how they phrase and present themselves, and how the other person responds, than what they say. I will usually give bonuses or penalties based how what the player actually says, but ultimately it is the character, not the player, who is being judged, so the roll is mlre important, and the modifiers you give for ooc should be limited, say as plus or minus a number equal to proficiency.

this is fucking retarded

No you

>Still no Wizard of Oz jump

Why is there no companion option in the Sims? The game is about households.

So I'm an idiot who literally left out the most important part of a perk in the Anima jump, and made a 600 CP perk the equivalent of a 100 CP racial buy. Would anyone's build break if I were to buff the Seeker of Names perk to the proper level? AKA: "You don't have to fulfil the pact requirements for summoning." instead of just "You can tell names (AKA, a minor ability from one of the races)" and "You know a lot of names" (AKA you have a competent Occultism skill)?

An army of Paladins and Knights hunting them.
BBGG is like King Paladin and/or the Pope or something along those lines.

Or an even more powerful bad guy that wants to destroy the universe/kill them for muscling in on his turf/etc.

>>50489471
Could go after richer villains but it could end up feel like a change only in the name of alignment is the problem

>>50489471

Backstabbers who want to take advantage of them by feigning sympathy to their cause only to attempt to betray them later. Imagine if when heading towards the bandit camp, the bandits ask you if you can join them/they can join you?

>how would someone play a Judge Dredd like character without playing like a Judge Dredd like character

>>50488162
Trying to make a feasible replacement that is sensible but still has the hardassness that is truly neutral

>>50487984
>How could somebody...

No, a better question is why would anyone want to?

If Judge Dredd isn't a tightwad he's just the most incredibly unlikeable character because he has no flaw or personality to balance out his incredible badassness.

>I wanna be like Frodo, but cool.
>I want to be like Conan, but you know, not superstitious and impulsive.
>I want to be like that villain guy, only not a cunt.
>I want to be Spiderman, but edgy and irresponsible!

You should have grown out of that by now.

At least your DMs are fair.

>Who ate the last nacho?

Trump is revealed a primarch?

>>50485051
Pray we join the Imperium instead of the Tau because plot armor doesn't exist in real life and I don't want to be a human on a planet taken by Imperium that willingly joined the Tau.

>>50485051
the more dangerous fanatics on this world are instant targets for warp manipulation, our world is put under instant scrutiny for its freakish resemblance to ancient terra, religious drama as the imperium attempts to correct the holes in our faith, not to mention investigating the mysterious knowledge of their reality being distributed from Notingham

>>50483199
Thats exactly what the Legion is. They are summoned ala daemons by imperial citizens who believe in the emperors might like orks summon psychic powers. I suppose nothing would prevent a human soul from returning to our material realm, assume physical form and then retain it given instability. We don't know what happened to the souls of the primarchs or the big E unless there is something I don't know.

>>50484866
Alright then, cause that actually raises a second question for me. The Legion of the Damned is able to be summoned to the material world because people hope and pray for salvation, and since the warp works on beliefs and emotions, the Legion comes because the space marines are a symbol of death and salvation in the Imperium. Now, since the warp works on beliefs and emotions, there's the theory that part the Emperor is in the warp while his body's half-dead, and if so, he'd likely have a lot of Imperial souls with him since the Imperium believes that the faithful dead go to him. If that's the case, could there be a regiment of guardsmen that come from the same vein as the Legion, and they just don't get summoned because space marines are a more powerful symbol than marines? If that's the case, would it be possible for them to get into the material world by marching out of a warp storm, to help with major battles like the Black Crusade on Cadia?

As for primarchs, I imagine they work the same way. They have a presence in the warp, so when they die their souls -should- go there. I'm not entirely familiar with this part of the lore, but there's somebody called the Sanguinor or something that some Blood Angels think is actually Sanguinius right? Maybe that could be an explanation for that actually being true? Cause if anyone could actually find a way out of the warp, it'd be a Primarch.

>>50484866
>They are summoned ala daemons by imperial citizens who believe in the emperors might like orks summon psychic powers
Maybe. But don't go presenting your opinion as fact. That's one theory among many in Codex: Legion of the Damned.

>>50451952
Probably not, especially since you're already shitposting two other threads about girls in games.

>Rowling is a hack
Agreed. I've actually read better HP fanfiction than the actual books.
Yet somehow I still find the books riveting, in spite of them having more plot holes than pages.

First time in these sorts of threads, but even if you don't plan on using the system, GURPS has a supplement called Back to School. It covers the mechanics for learning in the system, but it also includes a rather large system-agnostic section on simply running a campaign in the school, ranging from "school is the focus of the game" to "school is a minor annoyance in our adventuring." Probably worth a read for anyone that wants to run a game in Hogwarts proper.

She's a good world builder that can write relatable characters and keep the overall mood light and enjoyable even when things are pretty grim. She has her flaws but I think she's pretty good, that being said I think recently she's been trying to become more relevant again which is killing her reputation somewhat.
