How many points do I get?

>>50097928
Wrong board, friend.
Go to /x/ and make this same thread. I know, you may be asking for ideas, but...
Trust me, go to /x/.

>>50098013
This. Not even for the sake of "how is ths /tg/ reltd???" and more for the fact that X will be able to give you 1000x better insane ideas.

>>50097545
Tell me about Gelt. Why does he wear the mask?

>>50097719
1) he's ugly
2) he's secretly an orc
3) he's secretly an elf
4) he's a sigmarine from the future
5) he's secretly Vlad von Carstein
7) he's a suit of animated armour
8) he scarred his face in a magical accident, like rulebook claims

pick one

>>50097784

9) He's wondering why you would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.

>>50097358
Fae trying to lure the adventurers in to prank them. If they attempt to fight they run away cause fae fear steel, if they fall for their endearing innocent look you can make them fall asleep and wake up naked or something.

>>50097385
Thanks that sounds pretty good.

Mythologically-violent storm. The hurricane to end all hurricanes. Violent winds threaten to blow characters off their feet and rushing torrents of water threaten to carry them away. Trees are toppled and smaller ones are ripped up by their roots. Branches and debris become projectiles.

The PCs may end up having to lash themselves to sturdy trees, etc. to anchor themselves. They may have to grab onto floating debris to keep themselves from drowning in the flash flood that accompanies the torrential rain. Maybe after the storm, itself, dies down a little, the land is still flooded from a nearby river, and they have to construct a makeshift boat to get around (and hey! maybe a nearby dungeon / troll cave / etc. is flooded and presents them with a unique opportunity for looting without having to contend with the place's usual denizens, assuming they're up to the task of cave diving, that is). During the storm and flood, you could even have beasts and various dangers show up, with the twist being that both they and the PCs are too busy trying to survive to even confront each other (though if you wanted to make things interesting, you could have the party end up cooperating with intelligent foes--goblins or something--in an unease truce necessitated by the fury of the storm, netting comrades to keep them from being swept downstream to their doom, etc.).

Red represents passion, emotion, and all things humans feel strongly about. Casters of this school can read and manipulate emotions of others, as well as shield themselves from emotional manipulation. Casters who go off the deep end either become completely controlled by their emotions, letting them sway every action, or completely guarded and emotionless.

>>50096957

Orange is heat, creation, the forge of the cosmos. Casters of the orange school can bend metal, stone and other materials, as well as heat them to an incredible degree in order to better manipulate them. Casters who go off the deep end may actually melt their own bodies into raw elements by accident, or worse, change their bodies with so many inorganic materials they really aren't human anymore.

>>50096957

Yellow is life, the light of the sun's rays. It can cause growth and evolution, usually based on how much power the caster can transfer to the target. Simple mages could grow a flower, whereas more complex ones can make a hamster large enough to be dangerous. Casters who go off the deep end either end up pouring too much energy into something and keeling over, or using this power on themselves and becoming mutated hulks.

>(((kickstarter)))

>>50096810
Um. Yes. Kickstarter. Is that problematic or something?

For a game kickstarter to have any reasonable success, you need an established community first that advertises and generates interest for you. If you are a nobody, nobody will care.

Also, if you have the idea and nothing else right now, let me tell you that you are at least two years away from having anything publishable.

No one.

I mean it's a cool show and I hear about board games I wouldn't have heard about otherwise but its certainly not worth money.

Also I'm still butthurt they censored the word 'slave' as though all slaves throughout history were black and its somehow an insensitive word to use.

>>50096734
>I'm still butthurt they censored the word 'slave'
explain please

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bYD1TAmu3I It's around 4:54. It's not like a major thing it just miffs me.

I'd say 'I feel you mang'
but it's been years and I still haven't gotten the chance to play in another's game.

I know this exact feel anon, its suffering. Even when you finally break off forever GM duty, your still mentally GMing trying to make the next plot better. It's double points if the campaign lasts for about 5 sessions then your back to forever GM duty.

Me too. I fear I might have been instuitionalized being behind that dm screen for so long

>>50096161
'Cause I got shit to do.

>>50096302
No you don't. You're on 4chan.

>>50096161
I can see two main reasons:

Firstly, death is very unpleasant. Violent death is painful, and death from illness or old age is incredibly uncomfortable. Sure, you'll be fine afterwards, but that doesn't mean you want to do it. You'll put it off as long as possible, humans are great at procrastinating.

Secondly, you had things you wanted to do here on the material plan, that you haven't gotten around to yet. Once you're dead, you generally stay dead. So you'll be cut off from accomplishing anything you planned on that was dependent on earthly things. So again, you're going to avoid death until you're damn well ready. You want the gods to work to your schedule, not theirs.

If you've got a group of dudes or a Kill Team league, you can try out Kill Team. Smaller-points games that let smaller models shine and avoid some (but not all) of the pitfalls of powerfully broken models and factions.

Of course, that's bad as a starting point to get into bigger games because what you might field in Kill Team is by far not what you'd field in regular 40k in many cases.

kys.

>>50095630
Never heard of it actually! Thanks for telling me about it. I'm more looking at getting into the bigger games, so kill team may not be what I'm looking for.
>>50095647
How quaint.

>>50095378

Space Marine's acidic spit isn't their regular spit, they keep it stored away for special occasions and choose to use it, like how a spitting cobra isn't constantly streaming venom everywhere, and has to choose to spit poison.

A Space Marine's regular spit is just regular spit.

Space marines don't absorb information. They get instinsts passed on through DNA to enable them to adapt to different planets faster by sampling the fauna.

>>50095420
Does this ever backfire horribly?

Alright, you have your world as it is now

Now think of how it was created.

Now following in everything in between

Add only what you think is necessary and what things your players are interested in doing, from there you can elaborate and grow the world. Before then, you're wasting time.

If you want a barbarian monster race, use animalistic, instinctive, fast-breeding, extremely aggressive Satyrs, that aren't violent because they're stupid barbarians, but because they're everything vicious about nature rolled up into a savage goat-man. I used them for a Pathfinder Campaign, and they worked extremely well.

When the fuck is this shitty game gonna get its containment board.

>>50095116
You seem to be mistaken Mr Poorly Photoshopped Man. The Emperor and the psykers powering the astronmicon were around from the beginning of the Great Crusade.

Perhaps a little more lurking and a little less posting might serve you well in the future.

>>50095138
/tg/ is the containment board. Deal with it.

wew lad, get a load of this supreme faggot

>>50095036
There is no canon in 40k, and yet it is all canon. You will go mad trying to find consistencies in all the fluff. Each account of something is a retelling from a different individual and perspective. And each account and retelling can be disproven.

With 20+ years of fluff written for everything by everyone, this is just what happens. Which is why fluff arguments on here are pretty fucking retarded.

Ignore all Black Library is the best Canon

>>50095145
Perhaps internal consistency is more my meaning on that point?

I mean I've heard this before
>There is no canon in 40k, and yet it is all canon.
But yet I've also heard about how BL go out of their way to martian 'canon' between books. This one however just really seemed off overall which is why I'm asking. I dont think 'well it doesnt have to make sense' is a good enough reason honestly when theres no reason for it not to.

What do you play?

Yeah that was basically all awful for a combat scene.
