What in the absolute FUCK was Wizards thinking?

>>49195684
Thinking of all the shekels they'll make.

One PC wanted to set a female prisoner we'd captured free. When he made to free her, I hit him with a Hold Person and smashed his head in with a mace. The Ranger shot down the woman as she fled.

Lots of butthurt that day, but goddamnit, you don't free prisoners just because she was flirting with you.

>>49187838
I remember one time a PC was secretly a doppelganger. I wanted to stop to investigate a few dungeon rooms, so he got bored and attacked two of us. The lolrandumb bard joined in with him. I assumed IC the bard had mind-fucked him into doing it, so I killed the bard and subdued the doppelganger.

The DM was broken, it had turned out that literally one room further was going to be a cool place full of references to prior campaigns and much-beloved NPCs. He was speechless and basically wasn't able to run games for a few months.

>>49188014
Ouch. But yeah. Would have done the same.

A miserable pile of feats.

Exactly that, someone who fights. Soldiers, Bandits, Knights, Militia. Anyone really with no magic to back them up. Simply strength, technical skill or both

(Cool thread OP, but /tg/ never seems to talk about UA at all)

It was the british who were one of the first practicioners of what we know as modern magick. It was taught to them by the fae, (beings which we would now call daemons) who taught them to manipulate leylines of power, and pull magick out of the human subconscious. The humans returned this favour by turning on them, cladding those lines in cold-iron, and locking the fae inside. These ironclad leylines form the basis of the british rail network. And as they rust and decline, the angry fae get closer and cloaer to escaping and taking revenge on the descendants of those who imprisoned them.

Many an avatar of the executioner has died in pursuit of a fragment of one of the french guillotines. A cult of Thanatomancers hold most of the truely powered ones, and they aren't keen on sharing.

The most closely monitored country for use of magick in the world is Germany, and not for the reason you'd think.

Beware the Swiss Plutomancers. They are powerful and petty.

The current godwalker of the Warrior is looking for the pieces of Simo Haya's legendary rifle, as part of his bid for ascension.

All roads really do lead to Rome, if you know the right ritual.

There's a woman who lives in trafalgar square who'll tell you everything you didn't know about yourself if you give her an old farthing and a loaf of bread.

Big Ben has a soul.

There was a german version of the 2nd edition rules with a really interesting looking "wizard of oz" adventure in the german undergound made for it.

The outcome of national elections in Europe is determined by soccer. Not even a rumor, ask anyone familiar with the statistics.

Latin is a language of power and the many derivations of it spoken all over Europe have different effects. It is said that the power of the Latin language was stolen by the Romans from the Greek, and from the Barbarians.

People should have a closer eye on who gets to conduct which rituals at CERN.

Has anyone actually alive even read the magic chapters of TTIP? What about CETA?

Brexit was a major power move, although I'm not sure by whom. And I'm not sure the Brits know either.

Here's the latest iteration of Jojo's 1d6 Adventure, It's still not perfect, but it's getting close. Any feedback is welcome, but I also need input on the following:

1. How should Progression work? I've managed to capture what I feel is the spirit of Potential/Learning, but incorporating a feeling of gaining skill and experience is someqhat difficult.

2. Need some feedback on Hamon, and suggestions for more abilities based on Hamon, both ones available by default, and ones you can spend points on.

3. How should Undead/Vampirism work, mechanically, and should they be available as a Player option?

4. I need abilities. lots of them. suggest your ideas for abilities homebrewed according to the guidelines in the doc, and i'll incorporate them into the game. Point cost is a must.

So the battlefield in this months White Dwarf is pretty nice - I played on the Khorne fortress table next to it at WHW a few weeks ago.

Has anyone here had any thoughts about building a board to fit a certain realm yet? Or theming some terrain for a standard mat if not building a full board?

I've been thinking of making a Nurgle/Realm of Life type of board but it'd have to be a 4x4 because of my space limitations, and would have to be modular so I could pack it away.

Any ideas for cool Nurgle terrain? I love some of the stuff from the Realmgate Wars books, so I'm thinking of taking some ideas from the maps in there.

So I just ordered Storm of Sigmar, citadel essentials set, stormcast eternals + paint set and general's handbook. The next thing I'm gonna buy will be starter set if I liked the game at all. Let's I will fall in love with AoS - what else should I buy excluding stuff mentioned above

That's hilarious. It reminds me a bit of that bodyguard with artificial legs in Kingsman, except obviously that was much cooler.

P R O M P T :

The Triumph of Ullanor is REDACTED's greatest conquest. With the help of nearly half the Emperor's legions at his disposal, he masterminds the purgation of an entire system infected with Orks. The celebration afterward is where the Emperor announces his retirement and named REDACTED as his Warmaster and proxy in the Great Crusade.

Sneeki Breeki Warmaster would send scout assasins to slaughter Ork bosses. They might also yell at them in orkish from the distance to convince the orks to fight each other, like gandalf and the trolls in the hobbit.

Bloodhound hunting parties are tailor made for cleansing worlds of ork scum. Land Raider convoys with jetpack retinues patrol the wastelands of Ullanor slaughtering anything green.

Warp Raider high-mobility craft could be ideal for hunting orks too. Oramar would be very interested in the sorcery of Ork Weirdboys and the gestalt nature of ork technology. Ullanor would be one of the early warning signs of Oranar's heretical notions.

Tons of Imperial auxiliae regiments of all sorts would probably participate in the crusade too.

>Jafar Caan, Fifth Captain of the Sahaba, Lord of the Octarine Kabal

Jafar Caan is one of the five tribal skypirates from Oramar's homeworld. He is master of the librarian cult of Ba'al Shathoth during the Ultramar Crusade and his warband is one of the fifth legion cohorts called to crusade at Ullanor.

The Ba'al Shathoth cult seeks mastery of the sorcerous art of teleportation. Through the manipulation of gellar fields and skilled readings of the currents of the warp, Jafar's cultists can suddenly appear where the enemy least expects them. To help facilitate this advantage, many of Jafar's warband use grav-harness jump packs, flying platforms, jet bikes, and sky sailers. To predict the movements of the Ba'al Shathoth is to divine the paths of falling apple blossoms: futility.

Jafar's men are called upon to cleanse Ullanor's high mountains and rugged hills, unimpeded by the curvature of terrain. The Crimson Warhawk ??th Company fought with Jafar's 5th Warband and the Sky Serpent's ??th thingymacallit to take down the Big Mek lord Irontusk who had built millions of hangers in the natural caves of Ullanor's mountains. Deeper into those hangers were squigmines which churned out rough iron for Irontusk's sky fortresses.

>Pariah breeding program
Earth has a population of around 7 billion
We would have around 7 pariahs on this planet, and thats if they haven't been killed yet.
They usually live on the outskirts of society, or are drifters, so you would have a hard time finding them.

I don't think you could deprive the Assassinorium of their culexus assassins for long enough to get a breeding program going since they need people NOW and not in sixteen years

I think OP means the psychic energy generated by anger or wargarsm

How well does the game function using just the basic rules?

>>49189781
It's a bit bland, but it works just fine. The worst player option aren't in the basic rules, so there's no traps there

>>49189781
The character possibilities are very limited, but mechanically it'll play fine.

DOTS

Because "players" is just how many people have it put as a prefered system in their profile, while "games" are actual Roll20 games that have the system listed as the system being played.

In other words: a lot of people are willing to play it, but not nearly as many actually are.

>>49180894

4e is a skirmish-scale fantasy combat simulator. As such it shouldn't be compared to 5e but to Warhammer. Look at the figures, they're very close and have nearly the same ratio.

>>49180894
Because 3.PF and 5e players are all fucking flakes and terrible shitters, meaning games have to canceled and remade with a different group very often.

No roll/ no save bullshit on a character that happened to miss a session, i recently dropped a game for that bullshit. Also hired NPC's not rolling when in the party and contributing to group success or detection/perception.

We had the motherfuckers on watch along with the guy that missed the session and none of them got a roll. w almost got one-shotted in the ambush we "couldn't detect" I was pissed and dropped that night. Fucking asshole DM.

OPINION TIME: Choose one as your favourite direction for planets/planes
>Earth-clone
>non-Earth sphere, probably with its own time cycles
>infinite plane or nonstandard shape like a ring

Currently I'm working on an infinite plane idea which looks like a rounded diamond, where doing too far East/West will bring you to a coexistent location i.e. horizontal circumnavigation will bring you to a different place with the same stars/sunlight/etc. The poles are where it gets weird, allowing relatively quick travel between coexistent planes but mitigated by inhospitable environments, dangerous magical phenomena, here be dragons, etc. Sticking with Earth time because I want to keep it simple for others to get into.

>>49166631
And by rounded diamond I mean that in a three-dimensional sense, like if you roll out a tube of dough with the ends tapered off.
