Well provided nobody crazy gets their hands on the nukes we'll probably see less of a post apocalypse and more of balkanization out the ass as every single militia group and anarchist ideology competes to find out which one works the best.

Dark Heresy, James Bond the RPG, GURPS, Unknown Armies.
Conspiracies and Investigations usually are an easily separable submodule, so I focused on good gunfights with some over the top elements.

I hadn't thought about dark heresy, that's a pretty good idea.
Does that work best as a narrative system or a miniatures and maps style game?

I've been thinking about running this in Strike!.

Team conflict is pretty applicable to espionage, and the combat is nice and tactical. Very light no crunch though (which may be an advantage if you want a bit more gonzo characters).

There is no mind control chips for humans.

The Vespids might be or not be mind controlled by their communication helmets. That's it.

Thanks, it makes a really big difference to how ethical the Tau really are. I've been arguing they're the only actual good guys in the entire setting.

how ethical they are varies from lore source to lore source. The general gist is that they'd be considered pretty bad by modern, 21st century earth standards, like some modern communist states, but are sweetness and light compared to the Imperium.

I'm trying to figure this out too, but I imagine the method would be similar to how you instill other dimensions and planes of existance.

In the case of Warcraft, the focus was on those other worlds, and not on the space between them.

In D&D, that "Space" is the Astral Plane, seen as the space between the planes.

Perhaps something like that? A great void that stands between other worlds?

Spelljammer comes to mind. One of the best D&D settings of all time.

No, wildspace and the phlogiston are outer space.

>megaverse on fire storyline,

It's nice to see they're actually progressing the story, but it feels like they're going in all kinds of random directions with it.

>did heroes of humanity change anything

meh - "evil coalition" is a lot better than "shades of grey coalition". You really can't redeem a faction that's explicitly based on hitler.

EBay/secondhand is your best friend

Unpainted and unassembled, though? Most secondhand listings are premade models.

If you're going to make a fairly big order then buy from Dark Sphere and have it shipped to a mail forwarding service in the UK.

>Thematically the game is in the vein of JRPGs like Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem or Chrono Trigger.

Oh, then you just need 3 enemies, but each comes in 5 different colors

Funny enough the stat blocks do follow the theme of "twists", so "soldier rifleman" and "soldier caster" are both twists on/adjustments to the standard soldier statblock.

This gets more interesting with fantastical monsters or magitek creations, where twists can be mixed and matched to create different combinations.

I think it comes down to how easy it is to make and/or customize a monster, especially on the go. If everything is based off a few stats, you can get away with standard monster stat blocks thst can be changed with only a little bit of time (or even on the fly). If the system requires more number crunching, you might want to provide a large list.
If monster creation is simple, probably 10 to 25 of eqch monster type.
If more in depth and complex, probably 20 to 50 of each type.

You mean the one literally explained in the codex?

A Patriarch is a Genestealer that evolves into a highly psychic super-Genestealer that dominates an entire planetary cult.

Broodlords are specifically designed warrior organisms intentionally spawned to be commanders of Hive Genestealers in combat, and are armed and equipped as such. They too are psychic masters, but their mastery is much more about coordinating the minds of other Tyranid organisms than those of a flock of non-Tyranids.

TL;DR Patriarchs are more sneaky-beaky, Broodlords are raw "Fuck you."

Gnomes as a race and not a magical force just end up trying to push into the territory of dwarves and halflings. One of them has to go.

But I could imagine Gremlins as Goblins who just spent generations living around Airfields, Military Bases, and Junkyards and just started to gain a fetish for machinery and taking it apart and putting it back together.

between kobolds, goblins and bandit-[playable race]s so don't i think it's necessary for an entirely new race that would function in the same way. possibly some form of "designed to be a mediumhard fight for low level players, and designed to introduce them to concepts that might come into play later" such as resistances to certain weapon attacks or magic. but a race? na.

>>50292431
Gremlins don't use their mechanical intuition to build anything helpful, not even things that would help themselves. They could theoretically build an army of robots to defend their homes, or an army of robots to wage war on others, but they would much rather use their skills for sabotaging the machines of others.

Fantasy Craft does a decent job of it, with the Rune Knight class. Use your gun as a spellcasting focus, with extra benefits for doing so, inscribe runes on it to channel magical effects into your shots, and use Unseen Servant to help reload faster.

>>50289564
Pathfinder has some magic gun related archetypes, but >>50291219 might be a better choice? I've never looked at fantasy craft though so I don't know.

Iron Kingdoms, but I'm a warmachine fan so bias.
