he could be really really fucking vague.

My own tale

> nobody on docks but two guards, we try not to get attention while looking for someone to get info from
> me and dwarf pass stealth checks and walk by unnoticed, bard rolls ok but not enough
> bard 'trips on a fish sending it into the guard's face'
> guard is immediately mad at him
> bard explains that he was attacked, rolls really well, he's covered in blood and bandages so..
> guard gets suspicious, drags him off to investigate this story
>I politely ask other guard for info and receive it
> other guard sees the dwarf's pet big lizard and freaks out, blows whistle, and charges
>I try to stop him but fail, dwarf rolls insane and just grabs the guy and chokes him out
> first guard handcuffs bard to a post and comes back
> he immediately sees what's happening as three other guards arrive
> we try to make excuses poorly, bard picks lock and starts to sneak back
> bluffs are failing, they're determined to kill the lizard, so the dwarf steps on unconscious guard's neck and intimidates
>I see the bard and try to go over to him
>nabbed, no check or warning that they're blocking us
> dwarf kills the guard
> combat starts, long story short we get handcuffed.
> lizard was hurt and thrown in water, not sure if it survived
> we time skip several days, we're on the road in some sort of cage cart thing

Anyway that's where we are now, off to judgment. We'll see what happens next. It's not that horrible but it felt very railroady the way he did it. It feels like he put us in a tough situation, either let the lizard die or fight.

He could make meaningless threads on /tg/ hoping to provoke outrage against SJWs. That would be pretty annoying, especially if he made them every day.

Keep elbows on the table. Rest one hand (wrist) on the other (or something stable). If nothing helps - consider switching to necrons in the future (where you can just spray-base-drybrush)

Have you tried decals?
You can soak them in water and have ages to get them just right

Remember when guardian tower-diving was canon? We're scaring the normies, guys. Stop committing suicide repeatedly.

Which funny which I imagin they'd have Sparrow Race day and the big thing everyone looks forward to is how sick of a wipeout you have.

I generally hate GNS and Bartle's Taxonomy type stuff, too.

If you deserve the knowledge, you can come up with it yourself. Normally I don't buy into that kind of thinking, but in this wheelhouse it's something like 98% true.

Blockade Mars. Maybe drops weapons from orbit down on it.

See what happens in a month.

>Em, have you actually told the mechanicum that they are apparently under your rule? Try that, see how it goes.

I cancel fucking Fleet Week.

Get fucked, Kotch.

Look for the Monster Island tabletop game. Still pretty simple but you get to build your own monster and it has rules for advancement/xp.

>>50261200
Ah. I had not heard of that, will definitely look into.

Are there any systems that also deal with the human story part or?

>>50261174
Mecha vs Kaiju either the Fate Core or d20 version (preferably the Fate one), can easily be adapted so the players are Kaiju instead of mecha pilots fighting Kaiju.

No love for Alternity?

>>50261608
I played the Dark Matter one shot with my cousins back in the day. It was published in some magazine and completely unbalanced high- lethality fun. You had to fight water moccasin men in the ever glades. Good times.

We did the StarCraft Alternate modules. The rules were a bit if a mess but that could because it was a standalone licensed product instead of a full system book.

With drow elves playing the part of Moors.

I'm coming to learn you either go almost full Tolkien or pseudo-historical for settings.

You may have figured it out.

Rawk. Thanks. Will check it out and purchase to support the publisher if it's something I'd want to use. Haven't heard much about this, beyond that it's apparently 'fukkin metal'.

>>50259705

Your Character dying may be a good thing, because you may succeed in getting them into Valhalla. If you get characters into Valhalla you unlock new character creation options. Eventually you can play as an Einherjar or Son of Muspell and bring back your dead characters that you loved as quasi-divine beings.

>>50259805
So it's a setting in which appropriately badass character deaths can...actually be pretty sweet.

That really is fukkin metal. Thanks!

>>50255103
I don't think they do.

Orbital bombardment?

>>50255103
By planning carefully.

Or, if you're a World Eater, by just being that fucking angry.

They conquer the government first the squash the resistance. The people at the bottom of the hive don't even notice.

So I hope that OPP will only be slow instead of unbearably slow with a new operations director.

I like elves who are tolkienesque as much as I like ones who are radically different, but what I really want are elves who feel organic to the setting that they're in. If the setting is a celebratory high-fantasy love letter and it has ye magical elves at one with nature who are wizards and overly proud, good. That's the sort of elves you'd expect from a setting like that. If you've got a dark and edgy setting like Dragon Age, elves who either live in ghettos or out in the woods and who have lost most of their former glory and can't even remember their own language are good too.

Not sucking the game off here, because the game sucks, but SoS's setting does this really well. The elves are a racial group, they're integrated into the political and cultural landscape of the setting. The fact that you've got X Elves and Y Elves and Z Elves is actually a serious lore point with heavy implications, and while they all look like something out of very generic fantasy, like everything else in the setting each type is actually a very serious conceptual rewrite of the archtype they represent to make them fit into the spirit of the game. They have cultures and subcultures and ethnic groups just like humans do, each in keeping with the overall theme of the race.

That's cool. That's what I want. I want to be able to remove everything ELSE from a setting and still have the elves be cool. If you were to write a story in a setting JUST about the elves, could they carry that story? Or are they just a piece of setting dressing there because they were expected to be there?

Well, I fucked up. The CORE was supposed to go first, and AMGC later. I'm a giant idiot, though, so here's the CYOA.

Aaaand I fucked up again. This text was supposed to accompany the documentation for AMGC.

Here's the photo we've used as the exterior basis for the thread. I noticed that the open-air shop on the left is actually on the second floor, and perhaps on top of another shop. Since the Chinese Takeout doesn't need that much space and is canonically on the first floor, is this an open-air bar on top of the bodega or video store?
