Because he wanted to keep it. He wanted the whole enchilada, not the smouldering ruins of an Empire.

>>50358741
So even after what was supposed to be a massacre of the Emperor's forces on Terra turned into a long siege and after the other legions began arriving he still lacked any amount of pragmatism?

>>50358721
Because his goal wasn't "exterminate humanity" or some shit like that.

He literally just wanted the Imperium for himself. He wished to take the Emperor's place.

D&D is a terrible choice for PbP -- there are too many rolls involved per action. You need something lighter where each die roll counts for a lot more, because the big bottleneck in PbP is the back and forth of waiting for replies. Five rounds of "Okay, roll this.... Now roll that.... Now roll the other thing" will kill enthusiasm dead.

Lighter systems work better. One Roll Engine, Apocalypse Engine, stuff like that where each roll encompasses a lot and keeps things moving is best.

Don't they specialise in attrition warfare? I've heard they can take a pounding an still keep comming. Whatever their objective, they always take it in the end.

Sweet tits on toast, I think Psychic Surgery just made a new friend.

How do you feel about Arcanis in Yidris? He has a decent sized casting cost so he can cascade into lots of stuff, he can draw you cards, or you could bounce him and recast him for more cascade value

>not some badass warrior joanofarc-like princess
Jeanne was an illiterate peasant girl.

Ignoring that historical error, I don't think a purely princessy-princess would be a good character for an adventuring party as anything other than an escort mission NPC. You need something that can be useful to the party while maintaining the image of a prim and proper princess. You can either go for a mage/cleric, because education in the magical arts is (in most settings) expensive and allows you to get involved without getting your hands dirty, or you can go for a roguelike character. The latter would make your princess looks a mere façade, a femme fatale hiding underneath.

As for motivation, noble lords and ladies who weren't in line for an inheritance were usually used as pawns in political games. Perhaps that's where you come in, navigating the political landscape to the benefit of your family. Perhaps an enchantment spell or two can 'persuade' a rival noble house to direct their efforts elsewhere, away from sabotaging your family.

Also, Jeanne a best in any franchise (including reality).

>>50354342
So i want to make her interesting without breaking the "princess" thing, that means she won't be learning to be a badass warrior or wizard. But also i dont want her to be a burden for the group, or to play the helpless damsel on distress.

so, please let me know if you think this might work.

As a young girl, like every princess she was married to an important lord. They never loved each other, their marriage was just a political thing. Even after their marriage her husband continued to see other women quite regularly, she had a couple of affairs too when her husband was away at different military campaigns (of course this was a secret because if anyone knew she would have had her ears and nose cut off and her forehead marked). For the most part they didn't cared for each other, both of them fullfilled their roles and that's about it, but they did loved their children fiercely, and she have him many, the first where 3 boys, then 2 girls and after many years they had twins, a boy and a girl who would not live after their first winter. The 3 boys grew up and all of them became great warriors, they all marched to war with their father manny times while their mother stayed and ruled on his place. At some point, when all her children are already adults, her husband loses a war he was fighting agains a neightbouring kingdom, one of their sons, the younger dies in battle, the older with his spine badly wounded by a lance is taken out of the battlefield and will never be the same, and the husband and his remaining son are captured. She does everything in her power to bring them back, she's forced to surrender and pay reparations and disband her armies and marry one of her daughters to an enemy prince but in the end only her husband is released, the enemy keeps their last son and heir as a hostage to make sure they keep true to their word.

It is 75 years since the battle between the Australian light cruiser HMAS Sydney and the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran, off the coast of Western Australia. The two ships destroyed one another and Sydney was lost with all 645 hands. Most of the crew from Kormoran were rescued and became prisoners of war. The battle and sinkings remain controversial for a number of reasons. The loss of Sydney also deeply shocked Australia, as it had been considered one of the prime ships of the nation's still young navy.

HMAS Sydney was launched in 1934. She was a 6,830-ton, modified Leander class light cruiser, commissioned by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) in 1935. Her armament included eight 6-inch (152 mm) guns, in pairs, and four 4-inch (102 mm) guns, mounted singly. Externally, Sydney's most notable modification from the original Leander design was the re-trunking of the single, large funnel into two, much narrower and taller stacks, and she was uniquely distinguishable from her closer (RAN) sisters by a spar projecting forward from the bridge and by her single open-mount 4-inch guns (as opposed to shielded twin mounts), amidships. She also carried a Supermarine Walrus seaplane. In 1940, Sydney was credited with sinking a modern Italian cruiser during the Battle of Cape Spada, and two Italian destroyers in other engagements. After her return from the Mediterranean, command of Sydney passed to the relatively inexperienced Captain Joseph Burnett.

Kormoran, a freighter which had been converted into a covert, long-range merchant raider, was under the command of Fregattenkapitän Theodor Detmers. The German vessel was posing as the Dutch freighter Straat Malakka. Although Kormoran lacked the armour protection and speed of a proper warship, she had substantial concealed armament, including six 150-millimetre (5.9 in) guns and torpedo tubes. She had been in service for just over a year and had sunk ten merchant ships in the South Atlantic, Indian Ocean and the South Pacific.

Alright, so to sate my current early twentieth century sky boner I've started researching the era and planning out a new setting. Anyone got any interesting tidbits, history nuggets, or inspiring events I could direct by attention towards?

Right now I've been looking into all those little revolutions you don't hear about in the american education system. Reading timelines and picking out interesting sounding events, considering technological innovations and their implications.
