They're fags.

>>49479257
But they are the dominant race in my setting and use the dark elves as a "secret gestapo" to keep humans in the dark ages and from acquiring magic while the elves live in a more luxurious, magical lifestyle.

>>49479257
Most of them don't live in man-lands.

I'm sorry, but does helmetless Macha has the same face-stripes that /tg/ gave her way back in 2007, in the drawfaggotry that we produced back then?

Thanks for making the thread for me, anon.

For reference, the Pantheons included in Hero are: Greco-Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Algonquian, Yoruban, and Aztec. Kickstarter stretch goals have added the Loa as an add-on to the Yoruba gods and the dead Gaulish Pantheon as well, with the Persian gods likely to come as a later one.

Scions are one of three Geneses right now (with a fourth to be added much later): Born (your mom or dad was a god), Chosen (you were extraordinary but mortal until you were noticed), and Created (a god literally made you out of stone/wood/spit/whatever).

I am excited about the Scion anthology because it gives me hope that they might want to pay me to write for it.

>>49472648

Each Pantheon has its own unique Purview of special powers and a unique motif that flavors their magical works.

>By chanting spells and undergoing austerities, one may create or become a miracle.

>Manitou: Dodaem
>An offering of tobacco, prayers, dance and song convinces the myriad, unseen manitous to work their magic in your favor.

>Netjer: Heku

>Orisha: Posession*
>Those who understand plants can use them in magic and medicine.

>Shén: Tianming*
>Alchemy manipulates the energies both within and without the body through exercises and concoctions associated with the five elements.

>The most high may grant their favor to those who beseech them.

>Tuatha de Danann: Geasa*

Ever actually interacted with a goat?

They're weird beasties.

Goats have been associated with satan for basically forever. Whenever you want an "evil" animal goats are one of the ones you go to.

>>49472109
You ever been rammed by a goat? Fuckers can be vicious.

I agree. We should cut them. They are retarded.

Pic related. Can post more if this is insufficient.

>>49424360
I see the warmaster as neither. His meetings would be short. Or rather as long as they need to be. He would be concise. He would talk with brevity saying exactly what he needs to and nothing more. If people have questions he'd amswer them directly. Clear, cut, and to the point. I think its something everyone would think well of. The more flowery primarchs would take away how precisely crafted his orders are to capture what they need to. The more pragmatic would like the idea that he isnt wasting time with flowery fluff.

As for how they would treat him. Depends on the time frame. At the heresy before chaos taints gets them. A first among equals. Enoch might take it further. Later on, depends on who.

>>49433903
REEEEE

The way i see it the heresy didnt continue for 10000 years. The heresy is over. The loyalists lost. Its not about winning the heresy. Its about surviving afterwards.

>>49434373
Exactly. Its both hopeful (they survived) amd far more bleak (there is no win conditions)

>>49435031
Then hawks dont return to solarthey move to intercept the pursuing forces east. Interception also doesnt work unless they hit them after they Intercept the other forces? But thats a lot of Interception.

>>49439620
>raydon etc
Ive been away so this might have changed but what I posted was the penence quest which sends the hawks to the South and prevents them from joining most of the heresy.

>>49443544
possibly a few thousand with the hawks.

"Like any scholar, I feel a great sense of pride for my works of literature, my discoveries, my printed arguments. Far more than my military achievements, the knowledge I accumulated on Alexandria is my crowning glory.

Alexandria is, or perhaps was, a place of great worth. No greater repository of knowledge, wisdom, and art exists in the whole of the galaxy. The vaults of Mars, the reliquaries of Holy Terra, the new Library of Constantine, all these venerated repositories pale in comparison.

As the creator of such wisdom, I face a cruel dilemma of will. Would I rather all of my great works be lost for all time, burned by the fury of the Warmaster, or would I rather he recovered them, and put them to his dark purposes?

I find I am unable to answer such a question."

>Musings of Alexios Constantine,

Because barbarians and druids are martial and magical traditions instead of societies

>>49477513
Barbarians are in no way shape or form the same as a civilized warrior, nor are druids remotely similar to traditional magic users.

Honestly, I don't know why druids need to exist separately from nature clerics.

Think it would be too far fetched for space travelers to listen to the song the highwaymen?

Want a member of my archeology/salvage crew to listen to the classic but don't want to pull the reader out of it.

>>49451531
Song of the Highwayman? I assume you're NOT talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkNV-0O1ya8

I don't entirely see why not though, especially if it's an archaeology crew who would be interested in listening to old shit. Any song that's been able to be actually recorded may well survive to such a date and age.

on the note of old-as-fuck music, here's how some people think the Epic of Gilgamesh was meant to be presented: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcTsFe1PVs

Namely with musical accompaniment.

>For example, if an innocent girl asked you for help finding the next village, would you?

First, we put her through a battery of mundane and magical tests to check if this girl is a shapeshifter of some kind.

You can never be too sure in a world of devils, demons, fey, rakshasas, etc. etc.

All the time. They're animals, barbarians, philistines that trample all over my perfect novel!

I think the best and fairest way to get a random number is to use gamescience dice. I personally handcraft every once of my dice by hand and then stack them up. And what do you know, when I stack my dice up they're in a stack.

if you stack up some of my competitor's dice you're gonna find that they're uneven and wrong and horrible.

Its just science. Game science.

>>49473038
Made on based on radioactive decay gib moni.

Just kidding, but that's about closest to true random.

Eh, this doesn't effect me much, I prefer to wear skull caps.
Guild Charter can demand whatever it wishes, but I feel everyone is entitled to wear whatever funny hats they like.
Also, since the Lord of a Thousand Faces is beyond human comprehension, I suggest we round up a party of dwarves to deal with him. They prefer squares to circles as well so I don't think there will be any issues with that.

I return to your guild, still trapped in this strange realm of "magik". I have learned much of this place, yet still wish to learn more. This deity you have summoned sounds much like the Chaos from where I once came from. On another note does anyone have any spare skulls or brains that they wish to part with?

>>49471601
Brains yes, skulls no.
I need them for my Skull Golem.
I'll have my people talk to your people and they'll figure out a deal.

Plaster in more easily accessable smart phones and have their implications rerooted into the setting. A lot easier for big bro to spy on you when you're willingly carrying its optics.

>>49470678
Have parallels to existing and new tech. VR has finally achieved it's holy grail, and you can now 'tap in' and interact using your entire body without lifting a finger. Larger ballistics can now be used with pinpoint accuracy due to built-in GPS and thermal cameras. Anyone with a chip in their head can be susceptible to viruses and attacks, especially due to the prevalence of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

You are dumb and should feel bad for being dumb out loud.

one sec, getting names.

Also should there be a minimum since this is a thread about names? like 5 names?

>>49470417
Some of my favorites I'm using in my game

Talric
Rowain
Siggard
Walter Althos
Oliver Cromwell
Roger Mowbrey
Baldenvar
Val Amark
Bahd Goy
Geglash

When I'm braindead for names, I'll open up IMDB to a genre related movie and pick up names from the cast list as I go along.
