Just saw this on North Stars' facebook page.

They're apparently also working on sci-fi conversion packs for the cultists.

>>49946693
As well as a scifi game. Sadly no plastics for that.

>>49947501
I'm pretty hype for Rogue Stars. Like the second I heard it was the SoBaH guy and its also a new system.

..I'm spending so much time looking up weird scifi miniatures now. I'm gonna be so poor if I fall in love with these rules.

Personally, I always felt the princess cards could've been improved with small size entry, or at least a silhouette comparison entry based on relative size to average Sir Knight, or next closest thing for larger princesses
But that's probably too much work to go through and apply that to all the older princesses

One of the people I'm happy to see gone, I had friends through school who weren't allowed to play because their parents still believed this shit.

>Pashtunwalai literally means the way of the Pashtuns, it’s the rules and regulations and laws of the Pashtun tribes which protected the world’s biggest tribal society. These rules are responsible for the survival of the Pashtun tribes for over 2000 years.

>The obligation of Badal rests with the aggrieved party and it can be discharged only by action against the aggressor or his family. In most cases the aggressor is paid in the same coin. If no opportunity presents itself “he may defer his revenge for years, but it is disgraceful to neglect or abandon it entirely, and it is incumbent on his relations, and sometimes on his tribe, to assist him in his retaliation”. When a Pakhtun discovers that his dishonor is generally known, he prefers to die an honorable death rather than live a life of disgrace. He exercises the right of retribution with scant regard for hanging and transportation and only feels contented after avenging the insult. Badal resulted in blood feuds and vendetta in the past, but now due to the prevalent peaceful conditions in the tribal area and with the spread of education, the incidence of Badal are few and far between.

>Nanawatai: Derived from the verb meaning to go in, this refers to the protection given to a person against his or her enemies. People are protected at all costs; even those running from the law must be given refuge until the situation can be clarified.Nanawatai can also be used when the vanquished party in a dispute is prepared to go in to the house of the victors and ask for their forgiveness. (It is a peculiar form of "chivalrous" surrender, in which an enemy seeks "sanctuary" at his enemy's house). A notable example is that of Navy Petty Officer First Class Marcus Luttrell, the sole survivor of a US Navy SEAL team ambushed by Taliban fighters. Wounded, he evaded the enemy and was aided by members of the Sabray tribe who took him to their village. The tribal chief protected him, fending off attacking tribes until word was sent to nearby US forces.

>An experienced British administrator who served as a Political Officer on the Frontier for a fairly long time describes it “an extension of the idea of Melmastia, (Hospitality) in an extreme form, stepped up to the highest degree”. But the grant of asylum or sanctuary is only one aspect of Nanawatey while its exact definition and true spirit seems to have been ignored. As a matter of fact, it is a means to end longstanding disputes and blood feuds and transform enmity into friendship.

Because Islam sucks donkey balls.

I'm running a sci-fi game converted from Stars Without Number, how are the GURPS Spaceships books?

>>49939956
Spaceships is pretty good at what it does; you have a lot of customization but aren't bogged down with too much minutiae. One of the recent issues of Pyramid gives a LOT of good advice on tweaking everything to your setting (eg space opera vs Star Wars vs space mining), which is nice as default has some issues.

What would be the best way to handle Shadow of the Colossus style fights?

>Have you dealt with [dragons]?
Ran against a feathered serpent in the PCC for either the Yakuza or a dragon with a gang of Yaks. Intercepted several crates of magical tomes, put a virus into the host the feathered serpent's shell company used, then blew up his house.

Campaign ended around then, before we could get what was coming to us.

>>50067348
Definitely. A true Warrior of Chaos is incredibly tough, but they still lose out to any non-trash Ogres, Blood Knights, Vampires, Battle Wizards and all that stuff in the fluff.

They're at the higher end of high-tier, but they're not top-tier in terms of combatants in WHFB.

>>50067348
Rules Wise? No idea. Fluff wise? Yeah a couple things. Blood Dragons, some Black Orcs, some Ogres, Saurus Old-Bloods.

Probably some Elf units and Dwarf units, but I haven't read their fluff in too long.

Lore wise most Ushabti can smash a WoC like he's a small child

It helps to be the spirit of a powerful warrior inserted into a giant stone statue that is directly blessed by their respective god.

Ah, I remember that

I recall 2 rules in particular - one, you could use it to stop orbital bombardments, two, it was in the rules that it HAD to have a pompous-sounding name

Might need a little upgrading these days, but it's still cool AF

it would get plenty of love if it didn't suck so much ass, but being a WAY WAY WAY worse phyrexian arena tends to leave cards in the trash.

Another from a very recent set. An interesting utility land that is also a budget version of Mikokoro.

If you can deal with the discard, that is.

>>49938039
Not familiar with the character, but I assume that's a complete flavor design. As it's insane otherwise.

>>49938085
More or less. How best to balance it? Yeah, I am that bad at balancing.

Sell me on Unknown Armies

>>50045981
System is fairly simple percentile rolls. I'll explain 3e since that's the one coming out: you have 10 basic abilities that govern what you could expect an average person to do, which are linked to your sanity gauges. You also have identities, which can replace abilities and allow you to do things like first aid, use firearms, or use rituals. Each ability or identity has a % value, you try to roll under it +- modifiers. Combat's quick and lethal, with most firearms being able to kill someone dead in two good shots and melee weapons also being able to manage it with a bit of luck. It's also one of the best uses of percentile dice I've seen, with the dice being added together for close combat damage and read as they are for firearm damage.

The most interesting mechanical point is the sanity system. There's 5 types (Violence, Unnatural, Isolation, Helplessness, and Self), with 2 tracks (Hardened and Failed). If you succeed a sanity check, you gain a hardened notch in the appropriate gauge, and if you fail, you take a failed notch. If you have more hardened notches than the rank of the check (1-10), you don't need to roll at all, because it's not something out of the ordinary for you, while if you have 5 failed notches you always "fail" (without rolling) sanity checks in that gauge. There's also becoming a sociopath, with its own downsides.

There's also passions and obsession, which allow you to flip the numbers on the dice when it would fall under them (passions once a session, obsession whenever you're using the linked identity)

I'll do the setting in the next post, because it deserves its own space, as well as magick (with the k, blame the 90s).

>>50045981
>>50046283
I think the best way I've heard the system described is "Humanocentric Cosmic Horror." Most of the setting is what we would recognize as the modern world with a few extra details (such as author Dirk Allen), as conspiracy settings tend to be. However, when you(r characters) start to look into the nature of the world, there are insane people breaking reality, either through their own obsessions or ancient occult rituals, devoted cultists attempting to ascend as deities, demons, holes in reality, the whole mixed bag.

And We Did It. It's not that adept magick makes you crazy, it's that you go insane, and fixate your identity on some contradiction in reality, which then allows you to break the world if you live up to your new view of it. Following these behaviors gives the adept charges, which they use for magick, and if they break some taboo they lose them all.

Thaumaturges are the old-style ritualists, which is a dying art. You can't make a new (proper) ritual anymore, so you're stuck trying to find the remaining working ones or using Gutter Magick for simple effects. They're limited in how many rituals they have, as well as what they're willing to do (so, you could try to create a Shoggoth-looking servant to work for you, but you lose your eye, even if it doesn't work)

Avatars are people who (try to) perfectly act out one of the "Archetypes" that dwell within the collective unconsciousness of humanity. If you're acting out the Warrior, you name some group or thing as your enemy, become more powerful by fighting that thing, become weaker if you don't act against them when you can, and your abilities make you more powerful at fighting that thing. Eventually, they can try to take the seat of Godwalker, who is the most powerful Avatar of a given Archetype, and then try to oust the existing Archetype and take its place, which allows you to help shape the universe when it next resets.

There's more, but post limit. I can answer any questions.

First for you really fucking need to start including "40k" or "warhammer" somewhere in the OP because these threads slip through my highlighting filters.

Anyways, are HoR eversors as ridiculous as they look? Can take two pistols (plasma and grav, for example), each of which fire 4 times at an extremely broad array of targets. 4 plasma shots + 4 grav shots within a 6" area sounds positively murderizing.

At 250pts, you can run two of these sexbots.

In other news, 120 pts for a Mancus Poison Venenum Assassin sounds exceptional for any complementary assassin.

>>49915572
Woops, my mistake. Only one item from the ranged armoury list. So you can take a plasma pistol and an Executioner pistol for +25 pts. Still, 4 plasma shots alone just seems like pure, liquid fun_.
