What are some good weapon enhancements for guns?

>>49705791
Unfortunately guns are prohibited from a number of enhancements

The best is Reliable though, as it makes misfires not a thing.

>>49705791
Well, it's a weapon Quality you can build into your guns, and it's 3rd Party, but Rifled Barrels Doubles your Range Increments. 30 ft becomes 60 ft

>>49731411
How many years has this been developing?

>>49731801
the setting?
a little longer then 10 years.
the game itself?
I think around 4 years.

>>49731411
I really want the guy to put sessions up on YouTube or have a podcast or something.

Are you going to be using the Pharaonic pantheon, or adapt one of your own?

A few notes regardless vis-a-vis cosmology or religion.

1) Everyone goes to the Afterlife unless they were really shitty, in which case they get fed to Am-mit. Their soul is then well and truly destroyed. But you have to be particularly shitty for this to happen.

2) The Afterlife is exactly like this life, but
a) it's forever, and
b) it's *awesome*. No, seriously, even peasants live like kings, and kings live like super-kings. Everything is great, there is no war or strife, and although you're in basically the same position you were in life (i.e., a farmer is still a farmer), it's just somehow *better*.

3) The entire land is just stunningly optimistic. As far as the people are concerned even the current world isn't that bad. The Nile floods regularly and dependably. There is thousands of miles of desert on either side of you protecting you from foreign invaders. Food is plentiful, nice things like gold and marble are plentiful. Death, while not sought, is also not feared, since the Afterlife is so awesome (the Egyptians stood in stark contrast to the folk of the Levant, Greece, and Mesopotamia in this regard - their afterlives were usually described as dull and drab)

4) CATS ARE THE BEST.

5) Your writing system is needlessly complex, but it is so because the scribes *want* it to be so. If everyone learns how to read then they'll be out of a job, after all.

6) Speaking of, your civilization is OLD. Like, seriously ancient. The Pyramids of Giza were constructed in 2500 BC or so. They were older to Caesar than Caesar is to us. And when said Pyramids were built, Egyptian civilization was already 900 years old (3400 BC), and THAT only marks the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, which had started farming the land there more than two thousand years before THAT (5500 BC), or even earlier.

I have a list of names for the gods I've been thinking of so far. They're pretty similar to the Egyptian pantheon though the alignments have been moved around. Most of them are represented by an animal, but a few aren't.

Kematshas - Goddess of Rain and of Fertility - The Rain Drop
Neutral - Tempest, Life

Ptis - God of Plague and of illness - The Fly
Chaotic Evil - Death

Na-Rehp - Goddess of Battle - The Lion
Lawful Neutral - War

Pashset - God of the Sun - The Sun
Lawful Good - Light, Life

Nephset - Goddess of the Moon and of Magic - The Cat
Chaotic Neutral - Knowledge, Trickery

Rhet - Goddess of Civilisation - The Pyramid
Lawful Good - Knowledge, War

Thih - God of the Desert - The Hourglass
Neutral Evil - Nature

Apapsis - God of the River and Agriculture - The Crocodile
Neutral - Life, Nature

Karamentonen - God of Death - The Jackal
Lawful Evil - Death

Soni-vaphra - Goddess of Medicine - The Leech
Neutral Good - Life


I'm not so sure about how different races would work. I'm thinking maybe there should be something special about the royal line at least. They'd typically have a patron God, and during their reign, the cult of that God would have a lot more influence than the others.

>>49705817
7) SERIOUSLY, CATS ARE AWESOME. Bastet started out as a relatively minor divinity but was hugely popular among children and the common folk and as a result just kept getting elevated, until eventually she was a major deity. She is also the ORIGINAL cat girl.

8) There are no planes of existence, really. Everything is instead described in terms of a vague direction. The Afterlife is a place you can physically reach if you walk far enough to the West, for example. The Sun is a solar barge that is actually floating high in the sky.

9) Speaking of, you'd actually do well to watch the movie Gods of Egypt. It's...surprisingly good inspiration, and is really fun even if it is exceptionally stupid.

10) The Pyramids and other major wonders of Egypt were not built by slaves, but rather by farmers during the dry season, when no farming could be done. They were the exact opposite of mistreated: they were paid good wages, cared for with the best medicines and medical work available at the time (admittedly, not very good, but that's due to the time, not the intent), the families of those who died during the construction were well compensated. This is due to what the Pyramids were really all about: for six months of the year, no farming can be done in Egypt. Farmers who can't farm don't have much to do and so will likely sit around a lot and talk to one another. Sooner or later they might ask a question like "hey, is our Pharaoh really a god?" So, to prevent that: public works projects to keep the farmers busy (but also happy).

11) Speaking of which, the Pharaohs are gods.

12) Most civilizations thought of themselves as being in a state of decline: there was a previous Golden Age of myth and legend and great heroes, but someone screwed things up and today things are notably worse. Egypt didn't do that. Things in the past were pretty good. Today is pretty good too. And tomorrow? That'll be swell. Again, the Egyptians were, as a civilization, extremely optimistic.

Is this the real thread now?

The shitposter clearly made it, so I wouldn't be surprised if he does that to continue trolling.

One. You get one. If no PCs want to make beast race characters then it might be an indicator to leave them out entirely.

Not by template, but I used a prestige-class for it a couple times. Can be a fun kit to play with and depending on the campaign/characters there's a lot of easy character arcs you can reach for to make for a fun story and personal side-quests along with your main quest storyline.

First one was an archer in the kingdom's anti-mage paladin squad, met the party right as sorcererous potential was starting to manifest as little defensive buffs easily explained away as entry-level divine guidance. At the end of that arc we had a 6 month downtime between major events, and my character sought out the party after quietly withdrawing from the order under "permanent field operation," with her immediate superiors recognizing her fervor despite the physical corruption. A little scales were hidden easy enough for a while, but active adventuring seemed to be making it worse. Eventually got sniped on a visit to family after learning how to disguise herself magically, an early casualty in a major schism among the anti-mage organization between the "Take out the monsters and demons only" vs the "Kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out" schools of smiting.

What are some good things you can do with Path of Body, Path of Magic and two more paths at 10, Magery 0 and no Adept?

Planning to pack 12 charms (the character's thamatuargy limit).

>>49701599
Typed a wall of text reply that got eaten by the bump limit. So fuck it. Short answer is no. Long answer is yes.

1 millimeter is DR 2.75 rounded up, not down. 1 millimeter average is not homogeneous but nether are thicker pieces. 19 or 20 gauge (which averages to about 1mm) steel is not tinfoil and pretty hard to cut through.

When was the last time someone made you feel good about one of your projects?

>>49702309
When the bastard plastered all my models on the store Facebook without asking

No one responded last thread...
Can I make rubble piles and floor/rock gravel ground out of plaster or is there a drawback?

Those DZC-DFC interplay rules. hnnnnngggh

I fondly remember the necromunda style campaign rules BFG had, you think there's any chance of that?

With Ships picking up experiemental upgrades and experienced crews over the course of a series of battles it was another example of one of the few gametypes that GW never really got wrong.

>>49698762
I'm not normally one to rag on small companies using Kickstarter for its intended purpose but man is the DfC one pissing me off.

This is a good OP. Something for everyone.

Why is it so dead here?
Are people have a hard time finding thread without animu?

Or is everyone left for their games already

It's 9 AM on the West Coast and 12 PM on the East on a weekend, most people are either outside or doing something else.
