They are no worse than Drow.

>>50062998
absolutely they are

>>50062998
Yes they are.

Kenders exist just to be a race of mascots who are the most annoying little shits in the world, serve no purpose beyond turmoil, and are known for being played by THAT GUYS who want to screw the party over without being called out on their stupidity.

At least Drow have the potential to be work with the party, even if it boils down to the character being not!Drizzt.

>the mark doesnt want your help and you need to find a way to protect it anyway
let the players figure out the most likely routes of assassination by acquiring the killer's profile(s). let the idenitfy most likely occasions/places for the assassination attempt. work from there.

>>50064713
The problem is, they can fail on the first second of the session. Maybe the first moment of the session is a bodyguard getting killed? Like they see it on CNN as a "cutscene" which I don't roll, and the adventure goes from there?

They know there will be an attempt, but they don't know by whom.

Now they have to infiltrate the different shades of alt-right, KKK, a militia, Evangelical fundamentalists, Mormons, Koch puppets, and find out who's running the op.

In the end it's a radicalized angsty twen guided by professional Russian trolls impersonating an interpersonal conscience of the Internet, and none of them thought it'd really happen. But it does.

Also the candidate eats the bullet and doesn't seem to mind, hooking your next mission trying to find out what it is and why it wanted to become president.

Non-OP curiosity bump.

Start small so you are ready to cut your losses. They may SAY they want political intrigue, urban investigation, etc, but in fact they often just mean "we want to fight rats in the sewer next."

>>50062397
Draw a relationship map. Have different characters that want different things and have preexisting relationships, who works for who, who is loyal who plots betrayal. Make some dotpoints about info they know and how they will react to being approached by the PCs.

You can do it for organisations as well, not just individuals. Then when you need to come up with some more depth to a throwaway NPC that the PCs are suddenly interested in have them be a member of an organisation and hey presto, they have an agenda.

Keep it flexible, the PCs don't have to interrogate the right people in the right order to get more info, just use this framework to have the NPCs act naturally. YOU sort of know what's going on, neither the NPCs nor PCs do.

Update it as you go, put "The party" in as an element of the map.

It's still going to be very improv, but this gives you a solid base to do it off.

>>50062264
>Interested?
sort of.

can we have a cowboy based organization sending agents all over the world to fight the myths?

I would like it if we had a bit more sense of where things are in relation to each other, even if it's in a very loose sense.

bump anyone?

As familiar as I am with Destiny, I only come to /tg/ for MTG. You could just explain the subclass to Pathfinder General, describing the abilities that you'd like to incorporate. Sunspots in particular could be pretty neat to try to make happen.

Are you talking about a pathfinder session using Destiny's (the video game) lore and subclasses, or is this just a freak coincidence and the pic is unrelated?

Make the ult stronger, I guess. Looks fine to me.

It's Bloodgift Demon as a planeswalker instead of a flying beatstick, with emergency spot removal. Is there a problem? I thought he was considered very solid.
I mean, his ultimate ability could be better.

There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a boring card

Classic World of Darkness. If you want simple, Vampire the Masquerade or Dark Ages, more complex, Mage the Ascension.

Get the 20th anniversary editions.

Chaotic Alpha Male

Because Word Bearers didnt really accomplish their objective. And 112k casulties didnt really matter for Ultramarines since they were massively big legion compared to everyone else since they assimilated at LEAST one other Forgotten Legion.

>>50061203
>120,000 dead with another 30,000 combat-incapable
>150,000 of 250,000
>60% casualties

It was pretty significant

60% casulties of 20 chapters. Whole UM legion wasnt present.

Wild west. Not Deadlands or some other bullshit. Just actual cowboys and gunfighters.

>>50062689

I've never even heard of anyone running a Western game that didn't have some kind of weird shit in it. It's always "wild west but with".

More of a That Group (and yes, I'm aware that if you think everyone's That Guy, you're probably That Guy), but I've encountered some of the dumbest murderhobos in my life recently. Last week's session had the highlight of

>After doing quest for city's government, relax and hit some bars and spend some of their newfound loot on booze and wenches.
>Decide to rob the tavernkeeper
>Wait until most people are insensate from drink, and then press a knife to his neck
>Force him to open his cellars, and then knock him out.
>I hadn't statted it out, and just say that there's a lot of containers of various alcohols that he serves, as well as a crate for some of the food.
>Cue in whining.
>What the fuck, we're 11th level characters, we shouldn't have to go through all of that for some booze.
>Curse me out for being a shit GM, and session ends early.

>Additional Notes
If you saw the previous ad, I'm revising the game terms a bit. Biggest change is that I'm not going to require players to co-GM. It's certainly welcome, but I'm fine with doing the GMing by myself.

Anyway, basic summary of the game: Eclipse Phase is a fairly hard transhuman space/sci-fi game which has strong horror elements. It's set in the wake of an apocalyptic event which rendered Earth uninhabitable, or at least, quarantined, and players are drawn from the extremely ranks of transhumanity to 「SOLVE PROBLEMS」.

My campaign specifically follows the players on a journey of human relationships and conspiracy, the central theme is the Chinese concept of "guanxi", which is kind of like a system or market of relationships, obligations, and favors. The chief kind of gameplay that will happen in this campaign revolves around investigation, though combat is certainly going to happen. Life is really cheap in EP, though, and character death is really common, especially if you have a bioconservative outlook on life and death.

Adult themes abound, including a heavy focus on crime. Sex is as much a part of this as you want it to be. Contact me with the Discord, if you don't want to do that but you're still interested, reply to this post and I'll set up a more private conversation.

Any 40k games up, babes?

I ran an Only War one-shot the other night. It was fun, Catachans squad sent on a Search & Rescue, ended up killing everyone with flamers and knives. Including the hostages.

Tyranids. Tyranids everywhere.

Where do you want it on the Alien-Aliens axis?
Like do you want more shooty action or scream-y horror?

>>50058054
A healthy mix of "The ship is trying to kill us" with "But those mutants might get us first"

I was thinking a lost raiding party of orks from 2 centuries prior who got trapped/lost in a section and never found would be the main antagonists
