Ofcourse, for me it's about role-playing. I hate when someone treats RPGs as a board games in which you only roll dices to determine everything, it sucks out all fun.

Of course you reward him. Give him Fate Point and let him use it right now to suceed or fail and keep it for later use.

>1 Chapter of Space Marines

No, absolutely not, God is literally omnipotent and omniscient

>Ultramarines

Cato Sicarius kills Yaweh with a Vortex Grenade.

The whole of human endeavor in 40k has been a single doomed quest to thwart the Chaos Gods, and they aren't even omniscient (except maybe Tzeentch, but he's so distracted by all his keikakus that it makes no odds). How the hell is one chapter of Spazz Morons going to beat He Who Is Called I Am when the sum of humanity's efforts can't even put a dent in so much as one of the Chaos gods?

>>48938278
How was it that Draigo smashed Slaanesh's shit again? There's definitely successful precedent for fighting gods

I may need pics for 'research' purposes in order to validate your claim

And here are a trio of maid sister that net you great score bonuses if you assign them as chamber maids as a group.

Competitive daydreaming

>>48937935
That's actually pretty accurate. I've spent hours upon hours in my life just daydreaming about far away lands, people, and creatures that don't even exist. I guess it helps to escape the pain of whatever current situation I'm in. And pretty much everything short of sleeping brings me pain. Thanks depression.

>>48937913

Not exactly, but whenever I'm writing and can't decide whether a character should fail a task I like to leave it up to a chance roll of the dice.

It keeps me on my toes by forcing me to think of the consequences for my characters.

Maybe you should consider writing out some of these games?

it really depends on the campaign thus far. what are their current objectives? is there an antagonist they could defeat? is their a goal they could achieve?

>>48937630

I mean, what's the tone of the game been? How successful have the players been at their objectives? What are they up to?

I punch players in the face and run as fast as I can.

>>48937621

Holy Tennis Racket, just gotta make sure you lob it over the net so it bounces within the otherside-zone of the pitch.

>>48937621
I have numerous doujinshi on that topic you can consult.

>>48937621
Step one consists of making contact with the entity. You must first know your potential lover before you can begin the game of seduction.

Usually this can be achieved via the regular channels of ghost communication, such as ouija board, seance, and ritual sacrifice.

I always see people make stalker threads, maybe you should wait for one of those

>>48939133
I uh, I'm the one making those.

Usually.

>>48939227
well this one really sucks

>>48937158
They're hyperlogical sociopaths with minimal physical abilities but massive mental capacity. It's less of a "race type," and more a somewhat ungeneric personality type that is sometimes adopted for races.

>>48937178
Yeah, but what about the culture, the magic and the interesting history?

>>48937158
I think you have it on the nose in that they're working with traits usually split between gnomes and dwarves in other media. Which makes sense, in that there's a lot of overlap between the various types of "small folk" in older folklore.

I always liked the bit we learn in the 7th book about their fairly alien conception of ownership (the owner of something goblin-made is the goblins--even if it's bought or given as a gift, it's considered "on loan" and it's expected that you'd arrange to have it returned one day). I get a kick out of weird culture clashes like that.

>>48936683
By talking to them.

>>48936683
I don't get it. Is this the hottest new /tg/ may-may?

>>48936683
i feel like their is a story and a reason for this

please elaborate

>>48936629

I believe the official title of the game is, The Horus Heresy, but yes, you are correct.

>>48937304
ah yes that makes sense thanks. i didn't see any "warhammer 30k" link anywhere but i do see "horus heresy" links

when i first saw the term i thought it was a fan-based alternative set of rules

Two of the people in my group are fending for some Savage Worlds Rifts.....that's all i got.

>>48936464
We mostly like Savage Rifts, based on this thread:

>>48903963

But I personally hate bennies and the completely random deck of cards initiative draw.

>>48936464
I like it. Simple, fast, easy to hack, and a ton of resources for it.

>>48936332
>letting millions of people die due to hurt feelings
>not evil

>>48936332
Why are you using alignments in a Super Hero game?

I wouldn't think it was evil. Not particularly bright, unless he likes his incarceration. Being a coward isn't an evil act.

>>48936332
Refusal to help is never evil, unless you have a duty to help.

It's a neutral act of selfishness.

I wouldn't say it's self interest especially since it's going to probably bite him in the ass.

If you don't have an idea for a campaign, you probably shouldn't be DMing.

>>48936321
well it's either follow a script first so I know how it's done or no one gets to play, since I'm the only one in my group of friends who is willing to learn.

>>48936287
If you won't even go through the effort of reading a book, you probably shouldn't be DMing.

Trust me, I recently encountered someone fucking up a very simple and newbie-friendly game because he thought seeing other GM's in action would be enough.

>>48936156
Hidden in plain sight.

>>48936156
Spooky and ossiferous.

You already know the answer: they're adorable.

There isn't one, probably ~85% or more of people who share greentext don't even play any traditional games

Sometimes a DM will make things ridiculously hard because they don't like what you're doing.

That 20 is the representation of 'Fuck you, DM.' in those moments, where the players has, to put an analogy to real life, smacked the smug cuban trader who only accepts rupees - thinking you're a filthy America with only dollars - with a massive wad of rupee cash.
The only currency the DM would have accepted.

At that point, the DM can either say 'No, it still doesn't work.' and disappoint everybody, or finally cave in and accept that it happens.

Many stories may simply not happen because a 20 isn't rolled, and the DM keeps things on the rails.

The 20 is that point in time where - even if through dumb luck - your character has disregarded the DM and launched the train into the air.

If you have an ability which automatically gives you a 20, that probably wouldn't be as interesting.
'I use an ability which makes me get a 20, that I can only use once a day.' sort of thing.
Yes, it could make for a good story, but it takes away all suspense as you know it's going to work anyway, and you're kind of cheating the system, which means the DM is probably just being nice if they let you do your thing.

The unlikelihood of getting a 20 keeps crazy shit from happening all the time, but means that when it does...

>The unlikelihood of getting a 20 keeps crazy shit from happening all the time, but means that when it does...
The likelihood is 5 fucking percent. When you combine 20 and 1, there is a 10% chance of something tu-tu-tu-TOOOOOWTALLY WACKY happening. This is why nat 1 and nat 20 stories are trite.
