The savage worlds one for speed, the new one for clarity and the old one for not fucked up fluff.

I feel like a general system of allegiances and principles would be better than an alignment chart. What sorts of things do you value? Are you willing to put your own wants above other people's needs? Would you sacrifice someone for the sake of a mission? What sect or religion are you intimately loyal to? A variety of small questions that help flesh out a character. They don't have to all be filled in up front, and it would probably be better to work them in as you play.

First I'd need a reason to create one. "Just because" isn't a good enough reason to have alignments.

I'm sorry that you thought this was going to be a thread of intelligent and fun discussion.

Something something Red Path

They've tried to explain and re-explain it for years now, and honestly I'd like it more if they just kind of started ignoring Cadia during the crusades
Yes Cadia can still be the "elite" planet because being near the EoT subjects them to constant raids, but the Crusades can go off to Ultramar, Baal, and Necromunda instead of always coming back to Cadia.

Cant any warp-capable vessel teleport from any point A to B through the warp?

Why dont they all just warp to Terra?

>>49687700
>Why dont they all just warp to Terra?
Maybe the Lighthouse has some *magic* that prevents evildoers from getting close? And in the time it would take them to reach Terra from the edge of their warp-jump, they know the whole Imperium would have arrived and be waiting?

Anarcho-capitalism. Everyone's looking out for numero-uno first and foremost, but sometimes to save your own hide you have to help someone else - either so they won't seek retribution or so you can call up a favor later.

Lots of backstabbing and maneuvering, either low-grade gang shit or highbrow courts.

Of course, if these are goblins we're talking about, and you're going for a lower fantasy kinda vibe, odds are most of them would be loners, or have small tribes. Think Hall of the Mountain King type stuff.

>>49687161
It's kind of pointless to navel gaze about how they come to exist and cooperate. They literally exist to be the bad guys in your game. That's what they are, and that's what they do. The story and campaign dictate how they work.

Tolkien's own explanation was that the Will of beings like Morgoth, Sauron, and Saruman was required for orcs to be anything more than a disunited rabble.

Cf. also stormtroopers or clone troopers and either Emperor Sheev or Joruus C'Baoth.

The only two that come to mind are Castle Zagyg and this one big dungeon by DCC called castle whiterock or something.

>>49686839
your moms butt lol

Does the Abyss count?

Kek no he's not. But is that an actual card?

>>49686551
White Card
>Taking a man sized dump in your friend's catbox to make him think his cat is seriously ill.

It's totally something that some people I work with would try just to mess with their boss.

Ah, I remember you! Great Lorekeeper, tell us of the Church of Olidammarra(Or lack thereof)

>>49684418
Tell me of your childhood.

>>49684418
Lorekeeper, I must ask you which the Gods prefer.
Chunky or smooth peanut butter?

>>49683718
Adjust crit number, as 3 and 18 are much rarer to get than 1 and 20s.

It's much easier to succeed, there is a lot less randomness involved.

>>49683718
Do it like GURPS.
3 is always a critical success, 17 always a failure, 18 always a critical failure.
But the better (or worse) your skill, the more the range moves. So if you're really bad at something, 3 is crit success, but 15 to 18 is crit failure. On the other hand, if you get really good, 3 to 6 can be a crit success, but 17 still a failure and 18 still a critical failure.

>>49683816
>>49683859

Do I need to adjust any DCs from the 1d20, or can I keep them exactly the same? On a 3d6, you don't get a natural roll of 19 or 20 after all.

>>49683514
Not really 'a' spell, but I've always wanted to play a kingdom builder or god game where PCs could use magic to shape geographic features.

Not constantly, since it would be costly, but being able to tear down a mountain to expand my kingdom through a new valley would be awesome.

>>49683514
A character of mine had a tome of cosmic horrors that he'd been carrying around for almost the entire campaign; near the end he'd been driven to just enough despair to actually use the thing, either for a TPK or to try and cause a mutual kill on the main 'antagonist' god, but he got killed off with incurable "soul poison" despite being the greatest healer in the world at the time.
I was pretty sure it was so he wouldn't spoil the GM's planned ending, especially because every artifact I'd made through the campaign broke/failed/wend unresponsive right after I died.
Didn't care too much because I was sick of similar bullshit that had been going on for a while and I'd wanted to quit anyways.

>>49683556
Godbound is essentially made for this exact power fantasy.

>>49682955
Myfarog is pretty nice.
But unless I see it, I can't really judge Yourfarog.

Underrated post.

But in all seriousness, it's a pretty janky system even if you look past all the racist/sexist shit.

Make shit up. that's how good GM's do things.

Not even mad. Touché.

I can't answer your qeuestions but I do have a Malifaux question. Does the game support campaign play? Really want something Mordheim-esque

Which models have you got?

The Malifaux general is here >>49605425.

Yes, generally an Arsenal Deck will have all the statcards you need, and then it's just a deck of cards and you're ready to go.

cheap 1st edition boxes are a good source of cheap minions such as witchlings who compared to their 2nd editon counter parts aren't that much difference , but the main characters such as sonia crid do generally look alot better in thier 2nd edition releases but its up to you, also be aware most 1st edition releases are metal and the 2nd edition is mostly plastic. Pic related is 1st edition sonia
