It isn't really a "revised" edition at all, it just contains the basic rules and the first few supplements in one big book. It makes the cards into a big chart-like thing which I guess works.

Still probably going to need some varieties of counters and such to keep track of round-per-round things that change.

I'm not very internet savvy with downloads and stuff, but it won't let me put my PDF of it in the post I'm afraid. Sorry.

That all said I commend you for being adventurous enough to try something different and probably one of my favorite games ever.

GOD THANK YOU.

Do you have any other PDF? Or any other pack of PDF's? I'd love to have them, kind sir.

Depends on who doomguy ends up fighting. If he gets into something like Armeggedon then it would be just like Yarrik

We'll have to find out when the Grey Knights open their box.

What else did you think was in there?

>elegan/tg/gentlemen

And this is what happens when you are low on Int, I guess.

>>49574436
just play the character shy. insecurity = low CHA

>I guess we can chime in some stories of characters utilized their low stats.
SW Saga Edition Wookie Noble with Dex 4 here. this is terribly bad in a game in which firearms play a prominent role. so, instead, my char has become the skill monkey(-dog). next level I can buy a feat that allows me to use INT for AC, so there is a partial workaround there. still can't shoot for shit. but I have come to be fairly decent in melee now. overall, the char is shaping up at level 6.

>>49574436

This is why in my group rerolling a stat that goes under 8 is pretty standard. Just running around and being immediately assfucked to hell by anything that imposes a CHA save isn't fun and will make the DM feel like he can't impose CHA saves because it's essentially the same as saying "fuck you" to the guy who just happens to have a -4 to his save.

Deadlands.

Its pretty much exactly what you described. The rules are pretty easy to learn too.

>>49573797
been done to death, and no way you could ever make anything as good as >>49573841

there shouldn't even be fumbles
you don't auto-fail skill checks on a 1
why are you taking critical hits away from melee characters, it's bad enough so many monsters are already immune
casters already make concentration checks every spell if you're doing your damn job and threatening them, the DCs are so low as to be trivial

do mishap tables ever add anything?
what are you trying to accomplish

12KB, 264x191px

Of course i'm not completely bereft of idea's on the matter. We could make a D10 table for each level of spell from 1-9, with each level getting increasingly devastating. The more powerful the spell, the larger the drawback to failing.

>>49573750
The skill check on con is only to act as a pseudo attack roll. nothing more or less.

And i'm adding fumble's because if something can crit it can critically fail. There is always a chance of failure due to happenstance.

As well, it already takes a crit and confirmation to actually crit. The chances of critting already are pretty low. I could take the crit limit off, but it wouldn't affect a whole lot.

I suppose i should mention i'd also add it to my creatures.

Basically, i see mage fumbling as a way to keep magic in line with melee. A large part of the issue is that a lot of the time there's no reason at all not to use magic, where-as a melee character already has a hundred and one inherent risks to anything he does, from level 1 to 20.

Surprise! Welcome to DM'ing 101

Wiki the Magicians choice while your here why don't cha?

>>49573412
No, it's going to be "Tyranids eat everyone". Whatever battles come before that, the Hive Fleet consuming the galaxy and moving on to the next is the inevitable ending no matter what.

>>49573412
No, because GW hates Chaos Undivided. End Times 40k is going to be "Khorne steamrolls everyone while retarded retcons and genius characters act like absolute retards in order to let Chaos wreck everyone, everyone dies, please buy Age Of The Emperor with the Khorne Zerkmongers fighting Imperial Ultramarines in The Chaos Void"

>>49573412
As much as I like the idea, fuck no.
They already retconned Chaos Undivided.

>>49573343

GURPS has been as well.

If only because in its massive compendium of splats and options is possible to build yourself a system with damn near every component necessary to replicate stuff in Destiny.

Fair enough. It seems like it would contain everything from alchemy to space fighter combat.

I think one thing that's a real wrench in the works is the class system.Or rather, how to handle the class/subclass system. Would Guardian powers be left more open ended? Or would they be rigid like they are in game? Would distinctions, beyond self given ones, exist for Hunters/Warlocks/Titans?

>>49573426

I'd probably play it more rigid, since the Guardians do branch up quite a bit.

They could be generally light on species distinctions, each providing a little bonus here and there to roleplay and maybe a single small mechanical boost. After that, classes have their abilities, but weapons can change out pretty well.

I'd be a fan of just giving weapons straight stats and assuming that all players have proficiency in everything, just to simplify. Maybe they have class abilities which improve the use of a single weapon, or add some tricks to it, but ultimately the weapon's stats do not change in their hands (unless an ability would just add damage to whatever weapon).

Actually, if we go by Symbaroum's progression philosophy, experience is much harder to come by and character's stats do not advance very fast or very significantly, if at all. Armor and weapons provide whatever mechanical changes are applied, and skills and abilities add more tools to your toolkit to help deal with things.

This means enemies don't improve by grades, and encounters never start feeling pointless because the enemies are just cannon fodder at a certain point.

Settled nomads lose any trace of old ways, so not very different. One world government since XIII century, on other hand, will inevitably change human civilization.

It wouldn't. Strong cultures stagnate society, and stagnant societies don't innovate.

>hi-tech == shit culture
At least not in real life, and definitely not in imaginary setting.

>>49572883
I guess it depends on the setting.

Fantasy? Hyperbolic rumors. Then skepticism of reports. Then eye-witnesses. Then player scouting. Then planning. Then arrival.

Modern? Television crackpot. Television reporter. Television politician. Rioting. Military. Then arrival.

Sci-Fi? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. HOLY FUCK.

>>49572883
Make them cute girls instead

Literally as both boss battle and terrain. Players should hitting them with artillery and clambering on (sometimes in) them to find weak points.

Bonus points if they get their own monster or construct to fight the beast.

As for mechanics, lots of natural defenses, (parasite minions aka cloverfield?) huge sweeping attacks to prevent boring hang ups, and healthy dose of letting players unleash crazy bullshit ideas

>>49572847
Seems very run of the mill "Dickass thief."
If he wants the permanent mask, tell him to look up the Man in the Iron Mask, may give his character a motivation for the secrecy and murder.

To risk being a weeb, take a look at utawarerumono. It might not fit the setting, but could be interesting.

The mask is a curse. It twists the perception others have about the wearer, forcing the wearer to forever be a stranger to everyone, never being recognized for his deeds or actions. Sometimes, the mask projects foreign thoughts into the wearer's mind, such that the wearer may not even know himself. Perhaps it was a curse laid by an enemy of the wearer, relegating the wearer into eternal obscurity and eventually madness, should the wearer be too weak to overcome the mask's influence; perhaps the mask was designed to create the ultimate killer, one who could feel no empathy by way of eternal ostracization; or perhaps the mask was donned willingly by a man who came to hate the world that he wanted to feel nothing towards it.

Occasionally, the mask tells him to do things, things so extreme that the world would have to recognize it. It does this in the vain hope that it might be remembered.

>What is your BBEG's goal?

She wants red-dragon-sama in the mountains to notice her

she's a Mycologist/fungomancer and she creates cordyceps like fungi that control the minds of kobolds and bullywugs, forcing them to go into human settlements to steal shiny things for their master.

I'm a simple man with simple tastes.

To overthrow the most powerful being from his position as an emperor.

Because they think that if a lich has been an emperor for a few thousand years and has done absolutely nothing it might be a time for a re-election. By force.

Break his throne which doubles as a phylactery even the emperor forgot where he hid it. Nor does the BBEG. They are not smart people.
