One guy forgot his mic was on a took the opportunity to rub one out during pre-game setup.

Someone actually told him his mic was on in text chat. He didn't believe us, then went back to masturbating.

I once had a GM running a Planescape game for 5E where he was rotating between GM'ing our game and playing ANOTHER game.

We realized something was fishy when there were prolonged, weird pauses on skype where the GM wouldn't say anything. Then halfway through the game he left his mic on while he was talking about his character's actions in the other game he was playing.

Played rogue trader for the 1st time last night.
Worst rpg experience ive ever had.
Hours arguing over rules
No plot, no directiin. 100% metagaming.

Never played rogue trader before so was kinda tryinng to take a back seat and learn but holy fuck it was bad.

The RT didnt seem to know what to do, and the gm didnt really have anything for us to do.

I really wanted a good 40k rpg game

The magic of the curse would manipulate things to make sure it could take effect, and only one of the women would take and have a child. Or out of the five, one is born prematurely and therefore first. Or even if by some miracle they all manage to somehow coordinate the birth of their babies down to the nanosecond, the curse will lie in wait until the point where a baby is picked up - by you, the mother, the hand of destiny - and is considered the first child to be some how borne, even if in an abstract sense.

>>48934887

It'd be the one you knocked up first, duh

>Astra Militarum

It's the Guard boy and you'd better not forget it.

Make a Marine army consisting entirely of scouts, scouts as tacticals, scout devastators, assault scouts, scout dreadnought (which is just a sentinel with some arms and a coffin)...

The possiblities are endless. But if you want to be serious play a reasonable chapter like the Raven Guard or Raptors.

Infinity.
It's pretty weab in the GitS, tho, so you might not like it.

Nigga what the fuck did you expect going into 40k
Had you never seen any pictures of 40k ever

Also Raptors are basically Tacticool Marines if that's your thing

>You're just saying that to get out of paying me my money!
Followed by several explosions.

Though I'd be surprised, as a player. The whole campaign started off because the BBEG didn't realize my character was undead during their first meeting.

>Noblebright Heroic Party Of Paladin Maidens (Or something close enough)
Plot twist: the BBEG wasn't the BBEG, but a good guy who realized that he can't deal with the real BBEG from the prophecy and became the "fake" BBEG to get him some heroes.
You find out about this from the "BBEG"s diary or a letter found in the treasury.
The mooks you slaughtered were guys from some relatively obscure holy order.
Everything you went through was basically set up training for you.
And other stuff like that.

What if we can find only elven maidens (male)?

>>48934142
There is bound to be teenage crazies somewhere who want to serve a dragon, we just need to find them.

>>48934142
Kill him, take his shit.
I don't appreciate his tone, or his demands.

>>48934064
Authors forget that they can.

>>48934205
No, it's because it's a stupid bit of lore based on faulty science, that ultimately doesn't make any sense.

They don't forget, they just choose not to draw attention to it, because even 40k authors have to admit that it's retarded.

>>48934064

Because such abilities are propaganda and don't actually exist.

>>48934061
>The dumb mistake of not attaching costs to trainer cards?
Probably that.

>>48934061
Also because pokemon battles themselves are supposed to be 6 vs 6 max and you only have one active at any time, meaning that the complexity of the game isn't the actual pokemon but the set up FOR that pokemon. Also evolution isn't as relevant these days meaning less need to run multiple forms or the pokemon you want for some of the higher end cards/ legendries.

Narrative wise trainer cards represent people and things found on a pokemon journey and the games are usually focused on these characters and items.

It makes sense when that is considered, but it also is Pokémon... its supposed to sell to kids and be a more casual game.

>>48934334
Sure, but I don't feel two Pokemon on my bench and one active (none of which really evolve, because they are all ex or whatever) really captures the spirit of all this.

Like, the Pokemon website, the official pokemon website showcased a deck that ran only 4 energy cards. All colorless. Only one Pokemon was to be active in the deck. The rest were only designed to warm benches. 13 Pokemon, only 4 of which can attack and even then only one of their attacks can be used. And the. Like 35 trainers.

It just seems crazy to me. Especially since I bought a fat pack and the number of Pokemon cards I have outnumber the number of trainer cards like tenfold.

Try /qst/. A lot of forum games have migrated there.

You have to be 18 or older to post on here.

Lawful Evil or Neutral Evil situations. That is all.

So, something like Front Mission -1/ 8th Ms team esque game?

Mercenaries or Regular soldiers story?

>>48934335
Probably mercs, since the protags of AC usually are. But I could probably still change that.

>>48933417
It's a one shot, so make sure SHIT GOES DOWN. Plenty of action, start out with some atmosphere setting like mech maintenance, hangar banter, nice easy mission to get everyone's ass slide into their seat. Then *WHAM* shit is going down. Everyone is up to their eyeballs in shit. Physical ammo is getting used up, batteries are running low, parts are getting destroyed. Not everyone makes it out alive. Corporate warfare is a bitch.

I cast magic missile

Shameless self bump

>>48932411
No... For directing something such as this, we need the forbidden one...

Bring on... Michael Bay.

Easy. Titanicus by Abnett. You get to have huge battles, a ragtag group going against all odds and another ragtag-ier group going against MORE odds.

Uwe Boll would be the best bet for GW.

Assuming the players are German, what kind of rumors do you picture? Any references to recent press? Any old chestnuts?

>>48931571
>Ignoring your own thread
/dropped

>>48931582
Some rumours I thought of include:
Refugees aren't the only things entering Germany from the Middle East.

In Saxony there is an old soviet uranium mine, it was rapidly shut down after something was unearthed there.

In the Tueterburg forest, people have reported hearing screams and sounds of battle in the distance.

Stupid idea, mill would be overpowered.

>>48931116
No. It would be awful. How in sam fuck does that sound innovative, or even fun?

>>48931116
There are ways to win at instant speed on turn 0 with the perfect draws/opening hand. Which is what I assume you mean by no shuffling.
