Their kids will likely be taken by the black ships, they've experienced a fuckload of trauma themselves, and they're not exactly the most popular individuals being creepy blind mutants.

Really though, it'll depend on the Astropath.
A Feral World Astropath who works for a freedom loving Rogue Trader, and tries to rebuild his lost family/clan around himself will probably want such a thing.

A Forge World Astropath traumatised beyond belief would probably consider the thought remote at best.

>>49409939
I see no reason for them not to, aside from the mentally traumatized by the soul-binding aspect, and even critically mentally ill people are looking for love.
Depends on the individual, I guess.
The question is who, short of another astropath, would put up with a crazy diviner.

>>49410146
Slaves? Mutants? Abhumans? Naturally blind and crazy individuals?

If we knew, we would be playing DnD right now instead of shitposting on /tg/

reddit?

so it really is hopeless

Anon. Anon, please listen. It's still not too late for you. If you want to play DnD as a muggle and actually enjoy it, please consider playing the fifth edition. I beg of you.

Not my choice, man, I'm just getting my feet wet and moving from there. I asked why not start with 5th, but DM said he is the most well versed in Pathfinder, so that's what we're doing

>>49409562
Dammit, they never listen. In that case, I advise you to check out swordsage. It's a 3.5 class from the book Tome of Battle.

How exactly would you have an NPC in a tabletop model game?

honestly curious

>exist solely to show how badass everyone else is
What is imperial guard?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the IG don't have balls of steel. They got those balls by being the least badass thing in the setting, which is why I like them.

>>49409430
Tell that to the Imperial Fists.

Make it something I can, as a DM, easily pitch to my players in a single sentence. "We go into dungeons to stop a cult from resurrecting the scariest dragon of all time," "Skyrim, but with giants," or "Dark forces trap the party in Transylvania" all make it clear what type of game it's going to be so they can start building buy-in and thinking about what they want to play.

Things that are twisty, political, general, or disparate tend to fail to the other side "it's cool, you'll find out when we play it" isn't a good pitch. "We're one of three teams working together to rebuild an ancient artifact to prevent a massive, extinction-event earthquake" is.

>>49409944

This.

Also I'd probably try to make the adventure highly location based.

There are concrete places for the players to visit with descriptions of what's going on in the place. Stuff to give the DM plenty to work with while also allowing the players room to explore.

I don't see how much my DM wears because we play online...

>or dimension (including the physically impossible).
I want a d<infinite>!

>>49407520
Depends. What type of toy will I be?

>>49407520
Our DM is phenomenally non-lethal, and we can probably look up Tomb of Horrors and metagme this shit.

i've never even come close to touching danganronpa but based on the sheer exposure i've gotten from sperg-out posts/stories about it, i'd assume monokuma is more of a plot device than an actual character? why would you stat something that never loses?

>>49405908
A fair amount of the story progression is achieved but outsmarting Monokuma. Also Junko Endoshima is controlling him.

OP here. This is what I've got so far for Junko.

High Concept: Ultimate Dispair
Trouble Aspect: Absence of Hope

Skills: Empathy(+4), Deception(+3), Provoke(+3), Lore(+2), Will(+2), Rapport(+2), Contacts(+1), Investigate(+1), Notice(+1), Resources(+1)

Because everyone succumbs to temptation, you stupid fuck

Also saged

>>49405807
Why the fuck would Khorne get lured by gold, food or cheering crowds you retarded cuntard walking pro abortion advertisement fuck?

>>49405790
>then why won't Khorne simply conquer it?

Because Slaanesh might be weaker than the other Chaos Gods, but it is still powerful enough to alter the balance of power between two disputing gods if it joins their team.

Also, Slaanesh's realm IS guarded by tons of daemons, and it's a realm that is literally subject purely to its will.

TL;DR literally the same reason the other gods can't conquer each other.

>>49405504
You mean stuff like inquisitor obi wan?

>>49405589
No, there was an article from one of the gaming publications a few years back that was circulated through all the forums and places like Bell of Lost Shills that was about an interview with Rick Priestly or one of the original devs of the first Rogue Trader where he talked about how they went about ripping off everything and just openly admitted it.

>>49405504
No, 40k originated, orks, elves, and... no, they originated space, marines, armored soldiers...
no, I mean, they've always been dead serious about the 40k universe ...well mostly, except for..

It's always been over the top violent, ironic, humorous, mishmash of scifi and fantasy.

>They were created thanks to a Kickstarter, and are up for free right now around the web.
Then why didn't you post them here

I am interested, but not enough to do any work. FEED ME PDFS!

Could you post link to that, OP?

Also, I never runned a CoC game before, so I'll watching this thread.

Hold your horses, I'm getting around to that. First one's probably the most traditionally Call of Cthulhu.

I think you mean "I like the grimdark," you edgelordy chuunibyou.

Reality doesn't care for light or dark. It just is.

I got invited to a group that plays 2e and i really like it so far, haven't played anything in over a decade so i can't compare much. There is ton of career options and combat always feel lethal.

According to my GM the career choices gets way smaller in later editions of WFRP and things get way too simplified but i got no experience myself to judge that.

If you search the 40k General, I think that the Mega link has all the books.

I ran Dark Heresy once, but the players were not familiar with the 40k universe and got bored quickly.

>>49404466
I know, but I was specifically talking about the Fantasy Roleplay version, not 40k.

>>49404222
The Empire can't beat anything anymore.

>>49404222
Well obviously Cygnar; they've got the ten ton steam powered robots

God, no. Cygnar is leagues more technologically advanced, and its soldiers are, on average, much better equipped than the Empire.
