Which historical periods could serve as a good base of roleplaying games beside the classics like medieval fantasy? Would you recommend an exiting one?

Unironically late 20th/early 21st century Africa. Between all the silly voodoo/fetish stuff, the exotic landscapes, the blatant corruption and the constant civil war a group of outlaws could easily end up being dictator du jour and fighting an evil animist necromancer or whatever.
The only problem is that nobody's name is pronouncable.
The idealized 1990's, complete with PCs having tamogotchi/digimon familiars, escalating supersoaker armaments, and fighting off Street Sharks and Furbies.

SCP-217 alters the biochemistry of organic tissue, causing organic matter to re-arrange into a form of “organic metal”. The processes involved with this change are not yet fully understood, but the advanced stages are well documented. A subject will begin to turn into a complex arrangement of gears and clockwork, these taking over for the former biological functions. Advanced-stage infection is reported to be very painful, but earlier stages are oftentimes unnoticed, with only vague feelings of confusion, insomnia, and joint stiffness. Hearts are replaced by gears and small tubes, joints by gear networks, eyes by structures not unlike primitive “hand-crank” film cameras, etc.
Is there a reason for this square?
>>50483894
If you land on it, you'll be relieved to know that you don't have to pay anyone rent that turn.What, were you expecting a shitpost about the kitty?
>>50483894
It's a spot that remains a safe place to land throughout the game. It's a pain in the ass to land on early when you want to gather properties, but after a few passes around the board it'll show its worth.
>>50483894
Safe spot late game
Probably the only time you will ever not pay someone come late game

Do people actually do this? I thought that they were there for people to cut into them in case they needed the extra slot.

>Flipping the base upside down to use the slot
>Do people actually do this?
You might do it temporarily to photograph a model that needs a slottabase to stand up, but would require gluing, bending, or cutting to fit in the slot right-side up. Once you're done taking the picture, just disassemble your setup and put da extra fingz back in yer bitzbox.

Get the Normies Out Edition
Old thread:
>>50470203
>wtf is kingdom death
A game by a company of the same name, released a few years ago. It has 12 expansions, and the core game is getting a reprint. It is on kickstarter now. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poots/kingdom-death-monster-15/description
>how does shipping work
Game will ship out in waves, starting in 2017, and ending in 2020. Each wave will have its own pledge manager, and you will pay shipping for it once they are ready to ship that wave.
>how do addons work
Just increase the amount you are pledging by the cost of the add on. For example, if you are backing at the $50 level, and would like the First Hero expansion ($35), you would leave your pledge LEVEL the same, but change the pledge AMOUNT to $85.
>do I need both the core game and the update pack?
The Kickstarter is to fund a new edition of the game. If you get the game through the Kickstarter, it will have the update pack already included. If you already own the core game, you need to by the update pack to make everything compatible.
>do I need the update pack to use new expansions?
We don't know yet, but that may be the case. Other way, there are no levels you can back at that don't include either the update pack, or the updated core game, so any base pledge you get will be compatible with the new expansions either way.

Just read Horus Heresy: Betrayer. Good book, 10/10, the best characters were by far Kharn and Lotara Sarrin.
Whenever I get done reading a 40k book, I like going through it again and looking at the different symbolism and name meanings - like how "ursus" is Latin for "bear", bears being a popular motif for berserkers of legend (as "ber" was literally "bear" in old norse).
I couldn't find anything for Kharn's name, unfortunately, but I did find some on Lotara Sarrin's. "Sarin" is the name of a potent chemical weapon of mass destruction, which really fits her personality (DESTROY THEM ALL). "Lotara" is a first-person singular of the word "lotar", which is a verb meaning to cram, pack, or be crammed or packed into, sometimes meaning to be filled with people. That... doesn't make any sense, though. Maybe I'm reading too much into it and there's no hidden mea-
Oh.
OH.
Oh my God Emperor.
>>50481560
Not entirely sure what your getting at, are you saying its a Holocaust reference?
>>50481588
Have you read Betrayer? It's never explicitly stated, but hinted at several times that Lotara and Kharn are a thing.
>>50481630
Oh right well you said the first bit was chemical weapons and the second bit was being crammed with people so i just thought gas chambers maybe I've just spent too much time on pol

Sup/tg/, I come asking an important question.
Suppose elves and dwarves take a backseat or aren't really there in a campaign. Suppose beastfolk comprise some of the main playable races. How do you use them without focusing on them too much, without turning it into Monster Musume, and without turning it into Furaffinity?
>>50478388
>>50478396
>>50478388
The key points are to make them distinct from humans, but to also flesh them out beyond animal stereotypes.
Mostly because ANY one note race is shite.
For someone not "deep" into 40k lore, what books would you recomend to put on a Christmas list?
>>50477078
"How to fuck an Inquisitor" By Ciaphas Cain.
>>50477078
15 hours
any space marine novel, it's not meant to be deep but hardcore purging action with dudes made for war
death world, rebel winter, ice guard or gunheads for more guard books
gaunts ghosts is also good, eisnerhorn is alright
Is "Faith and Fire" any good?

urgh wanting to be a human in transformers? Why not just switch to an alt-form?
But if people are looking for a transformers series not covered by Many's jump and dealing with humans. Transformers masterforce had humans that could merge with lifeless cybertronains.
How does your jumper reconcile the existence of "fictional" worlds?

Next time please try and keep old drama to dead threads.
It was finally over, and you had to go and bring it up again.
How would you run a campaign like pic related?
Personally?
With at least 9 D20s.
A DM screen.
Doritos.

I would have to avoid including Ranma themselves; Ranma is my biggest fetish.
I'd be a total faggot and whitewash the shit out of fucking everyone, just to fuck with the players. If anyone at the table is genre savvy, they just became Wrong Genre Savvy.
-Happosai isn't really a pervert, he just does all this shit not to fuck with you, but to teach you martial arts. The burny thingy was to teach you how to win without strength. Eventually he moves on to teaching you the truth of martial arts, the art beyond fighting.
-Genma is not a hero, but he desperately wishes he were and fights with himself over it every single day, wishing for a glorious fight in which he could be a hero and die heroically. He's horribly suicidal and tragic, the entire martial arts journey is about passing on what he knows then finding a good place and way to die.
Y'know, shit like that. The PCs would be a group of schoolgirls who are the reincarnations of planetary princesses, for at least double the faggotry. I would make the players cringe by constantly dropping references in the most cringeworthy fashion, making them regret ever being animu fans.
ForeverDM me, will you? I'll make you pay for it. Fuckers.

The Megarachnids were a thing for a while. What other xenos were there?
Will Great Crusade-era xenos ever get official models?
Probably more appropriate in /WIP/ but really enjoying making progress on my Valdor.
What's everyone else working on?
