How is it that Genestealer cults who can be galaxies away with no contact with each other come up with a collective Tyranid logo? Is this design hardwired into their DNA? Did the nids Om nom a graphic design planet and decided they needed to keep Logo Design 101 as a usable trait? Tell me, /tg/!

you sure about that?

It's more meant to be representative, sort of like how there's the common 'cadian' style imperial guard, and then things like the Vostroyans and Kriegers.

We had a real nice Wuxia thread up for a few days. Let's see if we can have another.
Discuss tropes of the genre, cultivation mechanics, Legends of the Wulin, and other wuxia/xianxia-based traditional games.
>What is this?
Wuxia is a genre of Chinese fiction that focuses on superhumanly-talented martial artists and the world they live in. High-flying action meets Daoist/Buddhist iconography wrapped up in a noblebright, chivalrous package. Most of the time, that is.
>Where can I learn more?
There are several wuxia fansites out there. Just look online.
>Where should I start?
Anything by Jin Yong would be a great starting point.
>>49666807
>Kung Pow
You know the rules
There was a neat discussion last thread about cultivation, specifically about the various "tiers" of xia.
Could someone go into more detail?
>>49666807
Is there a cheat sheet for Wulin combat? I'm playing over roll20 and i'm afraid of each turn taking 20+ minutes with players poring over marvels, waves and other shit like that.
Also, how is balance of combat stats (footwors, strike, etc.) there? I know elemental chi is better than generic one, but is there a definite king of stats?
Which tabletop wargame do you personally think is the hands down best and why?

Thread Question:
How has your character evolved physically and mentally throughout your campaign (lingering injuries, changes in alignment, etc)?
-OR-
What house rules do you implement at your table?
>>49701031
Only house rules my groups have is using a healing potion as a bonus action. Unless you count flanking and back attack, a couple groups use some combination of those two.
Alright, so after a few years of autisming it up reading splatbooks I finally got a campaign going with some people from the 'net.
Turns out two thirds of the people at our table are first timers, myself included, so there's been a few blunders here and there (like me getting my sheet mostly right but forgetting to add my shield's AC bonus to my AC for two sessions, or our Rogue getting one-shot by the tutorial boss by provoking an attack of opportunity from running in and out of range without disengaging on the same turn. Pretty funny).
Everyone gets along out of character, we don't have any unlikeable fuckers and our GM's cool with showing us the ropes, besides having experience at his job. I'm having a fucking blast and only lament not getting into actual games earlier in my life.
My class of choice wasn't even a choice, I've wanted to play a Paladin since being a high-school babby so I'm rolling with something pretty standard, everything considered. My character is currently level 2, which means I should start thinking about taking a particular Oath. I'm considering Devotion on a NG character, which brings me to my question: I know 5e tries to deal with the fact that Paladins are infamous for either getting fucked out of their powers by unimaginative GMs or playing like absolute retards in general, and while I think I have a solid idea on how not to make my character behave like a fucking subhuman, I'm a bit stumped by tenets and such.
I view them as a tool to flesh out my character by means of roleplaying (which I'm not particularly good at since I'm new to actually playing), but can't currently know if my GM will see them the same way or share my thoughts on them.
How lax should I be with their interpretation, just to be on the safe side? And more importantly, how do I bring up any problems that might arise with our GM without sounding like like an entitled, whiny bastard that doesn't want to be held accountable for their in-game behavior (i.e, That Guy)?
>>49700997
>>49701016
I had been meaning to design some things around divinity, now this'll give me incentive.
I'm liking how monsters are designed in 5e, their design space gives the freedom of choice and flavorful mechanical abilities.
Something like having a deity's defenses only breacheable by successful divine rank checks (needing divinity or cosmic ranks to begin with) would ensure their invincibility.
How would you modernize a cyberpunk setting?
Modernize? We are living in a cyberpunk setting RIGHT NOW.
>>49700987
Turn down the cyber a bit, turn up the punk a lot.
>>49701018
Advancing the setting in 40k means that the Tau have taken over the entire galaxy. But don't worry, all your favorite factions still remain because the Tau are the most accepting and obviously logical race in the setting!
Unfortunately a lot of very unique tactical geniuses all want to control the empire because they all have different ideas of what the greater good actually is. Each one leads a different tau army with a xenos detachment.
This does mean that in order to take anything non-Tau you would have to take them as allied detachments to your primary Tau detachment.

Sooo who do we fight?
how common are artificial limbs and organs in 40k?
Bionics seem fairly prevalent in the Imperium, but is that more often reserved for more well to do people?
What kind of prosthesis is used for Eldar? Is it made of wraithbone or something?
What do the Tau use?
>>49695296
>how common are artificial limbs and organs in 40k?
Very common among the wealthy, to the point many replace healthy limbs with artificial ones because they're simply better. An officer would probably get a prosthetic without too much fuss, but the average guardsman would need to petition for one.
>What kind of prosthesis is used for Eldar? Is it made of wraithbone or something?
Yes, they're made of wraithbone and almost indistinguishable from the real-deal.
>What do the Tau use?
Prosthetics, just like everyone else.
>>49695296
Plenty of poor people have bionics, they're just shittier. Like claw hands or a peg leg with a foot, while rich people can have engraving, marble covering, maybe even fake skin
>>49695296
>How common
Very common. Even a shit-shoveling hobo could get his mangle arm replaced with an auto-shit-shovel. Albeit, poor people augmetics tend to be much cruder in every way than their superiors, who will sometimes just get fancy augmetics for themselves because why not.
>Eldar augmetics
I believe at one point the lore made references to wriathbone augmetics, which MAY still exist in some form, but I think the modern lore is that Eldar can just clone themselves new limbs/regrow limbs. It could be they find their own flesh superior to wraithbone machinery.
>Tau
Probably their own fancy-ass brand of augmetics, where even their poor people get wrist-iPhones, because the Tau are showoffs like that.

1st for almost any build being viable
I too agree that X-Wing is pretty balanced and if you know how to fly your list, you can do pretty well.
My absolutely first game was something like this:
Poe - Wired, R2D2
Tycho - PtL, Assault missiles, munition failsafeAiren Cracken- Wingman, Ion pulse missile
VS.
Inquisitor, Generic Tie Adv. prototype pilot, Some TIE fighter, both Prototypes had guidance chips with some missiles and what not.
And I've still managed to pull a victory. My opponent has liked to fly Inquisitor up close and personal instead of sniping with him, which was odd to me, but I took my chance and marked him as my primary target.This game is not MtG where you gotta stick to meta 24/7.
>>49694106
Okay /swg/, it 2 O'Clock on a rainy Saturday afternoon and you're relaxing by shitposting in the Star Trek general.
The phone goes, you pick up and it's the ghost of Walt. He's given it a lot of thought and he'll be tell his most recent host to communicate that they're rebooting the prequels. Nothing from I-III is safe.
He's been spying on of for a while and wants to give you the first shot at a pitch because he thinks you've got spunk.
You have 15 mins to drop your pitch for a new prequel trilogy on him. Assume he'a done his homework and know whatever you're talking about or referencing.
What´s the general opinion on the neimodians?
I can´t help, but want to punch them in the face, whenever I see them on screen and I don´t even know why.
