Well first of all I'm not a retarded beta faggot that falls in love with a fucking imaginary character.

That would be step 1.

This.
Hundred times, this.

Look at WWII casualty figures.

Now look at Iraq occupation casualty figures.

Which had people squealing louder in their own time?

Every year, we develop more and more safety features and get more and more bubble-wrapped. By that time, by the time a society hits the level of development that it can into space travel, it's probably become so safe, so bubble-wrapped and so hugboxed that fifty million really is an enormous casualty figure.

>>49977213
This is 40k we're talking about here. Every group in the setting is evil from any perspective outside the setting. Space marines could be eviler, sure.

Depends. Differs chapter to chapter and person to person. Most I like to think are good if not strange people.

That depends too. Some chapters care about locals, others could give a fuck less.

If the creature wasn't recommended for many campaigns, then why did you play him?

Presumably because he was told it fit fine and then got tricked.

>Do your games feature time travel?

Hell the fuck no.

>>49969547
I think the only time I'd use time travel in a game is if I was using Dudes of Legend.

Are you a bad enough vampire to save the president from time-travelling wizards?

Not as a default. I think it's only shown up in my Mage, Mortal (God-Machine flavored), and Demon campaigns.

Well huh. This is an odd thread for 2am.

I have always loved the story of the Oven of Akhnai.

>If a man made an oven out of separate coils of clay, placing one upon another, then put sand between each of the coils, such an oven, R. Eliezer declared, is not susceptible to defilement, while the sages declared it susceptible.

>It is taught: On that day R. Eliezer brought forward every imaginable argument, but the Sages did not accept any of them. Finally he said to them: "If the Halakhah is in accordance with me, let this carob tree prove it!" Sure enough the carob tree immediately uprooted itself and moved one hundred cubits, and some say 400 cubits, from its place.

>"No proof can be brought from a carob tree," they retorted.

>And again he said to them "If the Halakhah agrees with me, let the channel of water prove it!" Sure enough, the channel of water flowed backward.

>"No proof can be brought from a channel of water," they rejoined.

>Again he urged, "If the Halakhah agrees with me, let the walls of the house of study prove it!" Sure enough, the walls tilted as if to fall. But Rabbi Joshua rebuked the walls, saying, "When disciples of the wise are engaged in a halakhic dispute, what right have you to interfere?"

>Hence in deference to R. Joshua they did not fall and in deference to R. Eliezer they did not resume their upright position; they are still standing aslant.

>Again R. Eliezer then said to the Sages, "If the Halakhah agrees with me, let it be proved from heaven." Sure enough, a divine voice cried out, "Why do you dispute with R. Eliezer, with whom the Halakhah always agrees?"

>Rabbi Joshua stood up and protested, "The Torah is not in heaven! We pay no attention to a divine voice because long ago at Mount Sinai You wrote in your Torah, 'After the majority must one incline'."

Rabbi Nathan met the prophet Elijah and asked him, "What did the Holy One do at that moment?" Elijah said, "He laughed with joy, saying, 'My children have defeated Me, My children have defeated Me.' "

Segregation, is cool.

Have the Catachan civilian life/cities ever been described?

If they haven't what should they be
Not-America?
Not-Saigon?

You'd want to start them off in a similar way to how the block did, have small amounts of oil corrupting things subtly at first. Remember though that they only had such an easy time corrupting Mirrodin because everything on it had some metal.

You'd want a world like Eberron where machinery is more common. This allows them to take over warforged and more ambitious artificers.

I wouldn't start with a traditional BBEG. Instead, have the players trying to prevent or stop a war brewing between two major nations. That can then transition to the goal of needing to unite them to try and fight off phyrexian incursions.

Remember that Phyrexians value progress, evolution, and survival of the fittest, so they should be making use of any tech they don't have as well. New Phyrexia is solidly Bant in terms of color identity, though that is arguably just due to how things worked out there. You could have them end up going another direction.

Well, could a paladin redeem-succubus Elesh Norn?

I don't play with scum

Worse than Destiny. Better than 4thEd

For me, Warframe scratches a specific itch I have for post human scifi. Unfortunately the game doesn't go as wild with the post humanism as it could, though the beginnings are there.
I also like how the action takes place solely in the solar system. Keeps stuff nicely grounded.

So basically, the very existence of the Tenno is a war crime and they're basically the physical embodiment of genocide.


Or as I've heard one person describe it, they're crazy high powered space ninjas who weild guns and blades to the maximum efficiency, have technomagic powers that in canon could end entire cities quite easily and they beleive genocide is a Renaissance art form.

When do targeting and resolution for effects for permanents that say "As X enters the battlefield" happen on the stack? Do these effects count as ETB effects?

>>49932143
Effects like that are replacement effects which modify the way the permanent enters the battlefield. Replacement effects do not use the stack, cannot be responded to, and don't target. They just happen as part of the permanent entering.

In this case, Alhamsandwich has each opponent reveal their hands, and you choose the name of a nonland card revealed that way, all as part of it entering. They can't respond to this; their last chance to respond is to cast spells or activate abilities in response to Alhamsandwich, the spell, before it begeins to resolve.

Let's say I'm controlling my opponents turn via Emrakul, if I cast Torrential Gearhulk, flashing back Unlicensed Disintegration targeting the Gearhulk, will my opponent take 3 damage?

Alright, bringing this over from last thread.

Design a warjack. Not a colossal or a warbeast, but a good old 'jack. While you are doing so, consider these questions.

>Is it a light or a heavy?
>Which faction built it?
>Which chassis is it based off of?
>What is its weapon combo (sword/gun, spear/shield, etc.)?
>What, if any, special abilities does it have (ex. shield guard)?
>What role might it play in a commander's strategy?
>Is it famed for its economy, or is it an expensive depot queen?

>>49929315
but i all i want is a minion gargantuan or two...

>>49929315
I want a light Menoth jack that throws firebombs and holy smoke around. His weapon should be somekind of bracer like flail that can instead of attacking gove one unit/model concealment for one turn.
I will call him the Acolyte/Altarboy
