Basically we're running a big dark heresy game with a bunch of oneshots connected by a meta narrative. We need a lot of players- I recommend stopping by and atleast checking it out, even if you're not sure. We aren't starting right away due to me and some of the other DMs being busy for the near future so right now we're just trying to get all of the leg work done and ready.

Looking for a game that plans to have fun. I'm still kinda new to all of this so my roleplaying will be amateurish but I aim to improve. Can provide character concept if needed beforehand.

>>49958548
>>Times Available (with timezone!)
Anytime on the weekend.

I haven't actually thought about it, I should probably write something down about that.

If any historygeeks are here, what were the "special forces" of the 30 years war?

>>49958327
>the Spetsnaz
Which ones? Some SWAT team from Bumfuck Nowhere? Or Spetsgruppa B?

It's not MY setting, but I do have a homebrew Imperial Guard unit that I'm planning a game of Only War for. Might borrow some shit from Dark Heresy, considering what they do.

They specialize in fighting other humans, because their special thing that all Guard units have is that they'll be dropped into enemy-controlled human cities (could be Chaos Secessionists, could be Gue'la/Gue'vesa territories, could be random-ass Separatists who leave for a million different reasons) and embed themselves in the culture, acting as a sort of human equivalent of a Genestealer cult or a Lictor brood.

Then, a night or two before the Imperium strikes (or when the Imperium is striking) the planet or hive in question, these guys bust out all of their fighting kit and do what they can to destabilize the enemy. Could be killing off heads of state or important officers of their military, could be striking important powerplants, could be releasing inmates from their prisons on the soft parts of the city so the enemy has to relocate forces to deal with them, could be a lot of other things.

When they're not doing that job, they're generic city fighters who do lots of high-speed low-drag room-clearing and whatnot. Kit involves a homegrown lasgun based on the Triplex so it does a ton of close-up damage because of its burst mode (suppressed, folding stock), a suppressed laspistol, a pair of mono-knives (it's 'cos if the first one breaks, see?), an absolute TON of grenades and demo-charges, and their armor consists mostly of light Synskin (a tad lighter than flak armor in terms of protection, but makes them invisible to heat-vision and NVGs and is very light and flexible and can be worn under clothes) and a flak vest.

I like 'em. Lots of social infiltration and spy shit with that culminates in a single night of ridiculous levels of violence, all done in a very MGS/ARMA/Republic Commando operator fashion.

>>49957989
Kharn is such a baller that it would make him weaker to have the armor. It can't keep up with him.

>>49957989
>Wouldn't it slow him down or make him weaker?
I doubt it matters with all the power that Khorne is doubtlessly pumping into him.

>>49957989
Kharn is actually one of the few special characters that have a higher base strength than regular marines, so he is literally stronger by himself than a space marine in power armour is normally.

real armor for men with MASSIVE BALLS

According to at least the old armour article, which is pretty much echoed in the 7e special edition SM codex:
>MkI
Very simple with no environmental protection nor fully powered, but very common at the time and offered protection and enhanced strength, if nothing else.

>MkII
Space age power armour designed with all the bells and whistles an elite space marine would need to spread the dominion of Man. Segmented plates would offer the most comfort, but at the cost of being very hard to repair and maintain, which became an issue on the long run. Still thought by some marines to be the best suit.

>MkIII
Heavily modified MkII with closed space combat in mind. Weaker rear armour to compensate for the additional plates. Most likely somewhat more sealed and protected against vacuum and hazardous environments one might encounter in facilities or space ships. Never designed as a permanent replacement or something you'd equip entire units with, more as an optional gear for certain units. Uncomfortable and heavy.

>MkIV
With new tech and materials flooding in from conquests and the problems of maintaining and repairing the MkII and III sparks the development of a new suit. Instead of segmented plates it has solid plate design, which is less mobile, but offer great increases in production cost and maintenance time. Suit built with everything learned from the Great Crusade and good enough for Horus to try and get all of his allies equipped with them before the Heresy.

>MkV
Suit design made in no time to answer the call of "we need new suits yesterday." Taking the simple solid plate armour design of the MkIV and mating it with as much pre-MkIV tech as possible to produce a hideous, but working suit of armour. Inferior armour materials required extra plating, which put a strain on the systems. Cabling was too thick to fit under the plates, so it was left external. Helmet taken from Indomitus and modified for PA use. Not many chapters use them after the Heresy.

Fresh off the 1d4chan boat I see. Protip; that wiki's woefully out of date.

Old Man Henderson is an ancient meme based on a lie-ridden greentext story. Very little of it was ever likely true, and what was true was almost certainly exaggerrated for effect. And even if it's all true, then it paints a picture of a spineless GM and a disruptive fag of a player.

As for
>have been inspired by it to unleash that madness upon a particularly inept and controlling GM on a roleplay forum game series
>roleplay forum game

It's a play by post. Just unzip your katana and teleport behind someone. Basically the same thing as what Henderson did.

Also learn to break up your paragraphs goddamn.

>Inb4 Henderson isn't real because all GMs are like me and wouldn't let happen, because different people couldn't possibly make different decisions when presented with different parameters.

>>49954704
Fuck too late

>>49954500
Depends on what sort of dragon. Smaug here didn't rack up the gold, he just killed all the dwarves and sleeps in the treasury.

Though some dragons might have servants (most usually do) and they could easily make their kobold slaves dig around and give tribute to their dragon.

I'd assume they just bring everything, body and all, and let whatever pests dwell in the cave clean up the flesh while leaving the Gold

Maybe they just eat it all and the Gold eventually goes into the scales and the treasure is just a giant pile of golden scales that fell off as the years went by

There's art of a blindfolded demon/tiefling character with a floating collar that I've seen in previous character art threads. I don't particularly feel like going hunting for it, anybody have it saved?

Oh,forgot to mention that it includes just about every game and system imaginable to match up with other people.

Actually, I found my latest group from fetlife, at one of the parties. There's a surprising amount of overlap between kink and tabletop. Though it was kind of surreal to have a guy call you over to help spitroast his girlfriend, then start talking about the d20 tat on his wrist.

>>49952141
What happened to all the good shit you were talking about being so numerous you could have the surface if you wanted it?

If by 'help' you mean 'our women' and 'our children to look like their family tree was actually a step ladder' then that sweet sea gold is going to have to be involved. Maybe direct some of that good Japanese Tuna to our waters.

Running a series of short GURPS 'alt-history' games, each set in a unique battlefield. I reserve the right to set some in speculative future settings too.

Sheets will be 'par-baked', ie premade with a some left over points to customise and all fluff fields left blank to be filled.

The first two settings will be a wolfenstein-inspired WWI commando mission involving supernatural elements followed by a post-waterloo Naploeonic War battle where chemical weapons are in common use. Expect high-lethality and fairly crunchy rulesets.

Have a 100% unrelated image.

I'm looking for someone to run a solo campaign of Exalted. "Wow," you might ask. "Who could be so extraordinarily selfish and narcissistic as to request a solo game of one of the more difficult systems to GM for?" Well, me- because you'll never get a game if you never ask.
>But why you?
I'm a reliable player and a decent writer who can craft characters with believable motivations and ambitions. I'm fine with whatever kind of story the GM wants to tell, but my characters always have clear goals and a desire to achieve them, so they also won't flounder in a sandbox. If there's something specific you want from a campaign, or something you wouldn't want to try with a group, I'm your Huckleberry.

My name is Erin. I am new to Roll20 but not to table top gaming. I rolled my first bard when I was 12 back in the 2E days and I played dungeons and dragons consistently through high school and college. I'm mostly familiar with 3.5 but I'm interested in 5E and Pathfinder as well. I am 30 years old now and sadly I have very few opportunities to game these days. I LARP once a month, but I'd really enjoy a chance to play games that don't require spending 3 days away from home as well. I live on the east coast of America but I work the night shift so I need games that play in off hours so gaming groups in Europe and Australia are of especially high interest to me.

I prefer Skype over Discord or the Roll20 Voice Chat.

Play very simple skirmish wargames?

Invent your own system.

Get younger siblings/relatives into gaming?

fuck me I had that dragon.

>>49948416
Mobile Frame Zero, Brikwars. Skirmish wargames with rules that are actually based around Lego (in the case of MFZ, damage removes parts so the build is important. In Brikwars, point values are calculated based on parts used iirc - I had a copy of it or something like it ten years ago but haven't looked at it recently.)
