Just browsing in to say that the first few books were good, then king just went full retard and it all ended just so badly
The final 3 books were complete and utter garbage. You can certainly tell he wrote his best stuff in his younger years and later in life just gave up on being a good, coherent writer.
That goes for all his works really: unabridged version of the stand that was printed in the 80ies was great, the first few dark tower novels he wrote in the same timeframe were great. Anything he's written in the last 20-25 years is absolute shit.

>>54870629
Yes.
Yet the 8th Book on the Dark Tower is back to amazing.
I think it was like he wrote 5 6 and 7th in a hurry because he thought he was going to die anytime soon

HERESY IS TURNING FROM THE PATH OF THE EMPEROR!

>>54870358
Religious thought contrary to the orthodoxy. Funnily enough heresies arise when they see other people as corrupt and strayed from the path, and want to worship the Right and Proper way the god originally intended.

what setting
define magic
define faith (does it grant magical powers in this setting)
you big fricking hecker

>>54870269
dumb question without specifics. probably comes down to whether gods exist and how much they're willing to intervene.

>>54870269
You do realize that where you draw your ruling caste from in no way is predicated on one side having more of a resource than another, right?

>>54869699
...because d20 is such a good system???
okay.

>>54869699
For what purpose?

>>54869770
Even if it isn't, it's one of them most common ones and most here know how to translate it across to other systems.

Why does typhus look like he went down a fucking level opposed to his bone marrow death ecology fart factory appearance? The fuck?

That's not Typhus, as far as we know.

here's is part of the relevant fluff on him from Deathwatch - The Outer Reach:

Unbeknownst to Overlord-Regent Ahhotekh, Ozkan has remained loyal to his Phaeron throughout the tumultuous events of the awakening of the Hollow Sun. Under the guise of carrying out the regent’s orders, the Cryptek has, in fact, been seeking a means of investing a Necron consciousness into a body of flesh and bone and, in so doing, of reclaiming all they once had. Ozkan’s researches and secret experiments have led him to the conclusion that only a body as strong and as tough as a Necron’s living metal frame will provide a suitable vessel for such a reawakening, and this can be attested to by the numerous failed experiments hidden deep within his chambers. Locked within the lambent glow of pulsing stasis chambers are to be found rank after rank of once sentient beings, including humans, Orks, Eldar, Tau, and a dozen others, each of which has had a Necron consciousness transferred into its mind. In each case, the body has proven too weak, or the mind too strong for the process, and the Codifier has failed, creating some hideous, mindless insane creature more terrible still than a Flayed One.

But of late, Ozkan the Codifier has come to believe he has discovered a mortal shell strong enough to contain the consciousness of a Necron. Though rare, he even holds that these apex specimens of organic perfection might even be sufficient to host the consciousness of the Crimson Scythe. The body Ozkan has identified is, of course, that of the Adeptus Astartes, the sacred, post-human form wrought by the Emperor himself to serve as the champions of mankind.

To date, Ozkan has not been able to capture a living Space Marine, so he has not had the opportunity to test the veracity of his blasphemous theories. He has, however, come into possession of the bodies of several fallen Battle-Brothers—those that fell undertaking the mission led by the outcast Inquisitor Thaddeus Hakk.

>>54868754
>>54868799
You have a twofold problem.

One, Cryptek Ozkan the Codifier is a FFG content character. His story was meant for the GM to explore. He is meant to be used in crafting the campaigns narrative.

Two, as FFG discontinued their GW related content because they are dicks, the fluff and plotline they wrote for their RPG books won't go anywhere.

>>54868862
...well dang. that sucks.

thanks for the heads-up

Any over-the top action/martial arts movie, especially asian-themed, can be emulated in FS.

>>54867249

Depends on the style of the game. For something simple and rules light, Feng Shui is pretty good. If you want something a bit more meaty, Legends of the Wulin is fantastic, if troubled. I wrote up a more thorough overview in >>54864647 and >>54864655

Although I will say that the core book includes the kung fu styles 'Storm God's Fury' and 'Heaven's Lightning', which seem made for characters like that.

Literally anything. It just has to be smaller than 2'x1'

Since that day the newly-dubbed Warmaster's Own has waged a perpetual guerilla war against the Black Legion and Imperium simultaneously. Deeply aware that they are impossibly outnumbered, the warband remains fleet-based and mobile. Acutely aware of their need for resources and lack of friends, they have on occasion taken to playing the role of a fleet-based loyalist Chapter they have dubbed the Evergreen Brotherhood. Acting as a sudden reinforcement to Imperial worlds under threat from Abaddon's lickspittles, in the aftermath they cheerfully help themselves to recruits, slaves, fuel, and ammunition from the grateful and blissfully unaware lackies of the Corpse Emperor. It is in his guise as Chapter Master of the Brotherhood that Haestros has acquired the title of "the Liberator", which he has taken a liking to for a completely different reason.

In battle, to make up for their small numbers, the Warmaster's Own deploy heavy weapons squads shielded by implacable screens of Cataphractii Terminators. Assault squads on Jump packs herd enemies from the flanks into the teeth of their heavy guns. Supplementing the Astartes is the ragtag Cult of the Liberator, deluded mortals and "tithed" guardsmen who believe ferverently in the Haestros' sainthood in the eyes of the God Emperor. The deception grates at the ancient traitor, but the warband's need for manpower is too great.

My Dudes are in the Early Stages of Being made out but I guess I'll share what I got (no pictures yet, as they're not done being painted)
The Burdened Sons are an Imperial Fist successor chapter from the Second Founding
Their First Chapter Master was a IF Captain, Dagda Culain,who lived through the Siege of Terra, the Iron Cage, and the Codex Astartes.
All of his memories of the Siege, the Cage, and the Splitting of the Legions are stored in the Throne of Dagda, at the heart of their citadel, the Brun a Boine. When an initiate sits on the Throne, they experience the long history and pain carried by the Sons of Dorn.
They carry a long grudge as a Chapter, and a desire for vengeance, to right the wrong that they feel has been done to them.
Their Chief Librarian, Ekimmar Gael, seeks a way to control the Legion of the Damned, what he feels is the purest form of vengeance, and find some way to harness them to deploy onto Battlefields fromt he beginning, to prevent battles from being so hopeless in the first place. As such, the Chapter often goes to the most hopeless and desperate edges of the Imperium in search of the Legion of the Damned.

They're my idea for Celtic Marines, and still need a little roughing out

I lost interest in Malifaux when they moved to plastic. Their models had this lovely quirkiness and all of that turned into generic saturday-morning cartoon stuff with the transition to plastic.

Metal is a bitch to work with and I do not miss it.

That shit does not glue well.

Plastic is cheaper, and people don't actually care about the perceived drop in quality you note.

The Average Warhammer Fantasy party, consisting of a Chimney-sweep, a Dung-Collector, a Ferryman, a bone-picker, and a vagabond too poor to afford vowels approach pic related.
Chimney-sweep: "I clean chimneys. If it's in your chimney, I can kill it, just give me a few minutes to Mary-Poppins this bitch."
Dung Collector: "You're a big guy, where do you take care of nature's business? More importantly, can I take my handy-dandy cart over there and grab some of it to sell for fertilizer?"
Ferryman: "I'M ON A BOAT! WHATCHU TRYING TO PROVE HERE BOY?"
Bonepicker: "I bet you got some sweet loot of those DnD scrubs that came through here last week, mind if we trade some exotics?"
Vagabond: "Cl'n'k f'rus sum ch'nge mst'r!" *Holds up a mug with a few pence inside*

President Mortimer Johnson III made the order to unfreeze Albert Einstein's brain and put it in a cyberbody to help kick out defense research into high gear

>>54864919
Also the aliens are ugly but somehow their females are really hot

>>54865453
Einstein's new body was made from an amalgamation of the remains of a failed attempt to create bionic soldiers duribg ww2 and alien technology looted from battlefields across the continental united states. Now a decidedly morose figure, he steadfastly denies the use of his magnificent mind in the creation of weapons, and has instead designed several defensive technologies such as the experimental new shield-domes being erected around DC and Pittsburg

Onslaught was a good set and Legions and Scourge were incredibly weak aside from the introduction of storm. Almost all the cards from the block used in standard were pulled from Onslaught and It was followed by the high powered Mirrodin.

>>54864633
hec yes i said

>>54866807
If Torment/Judgment had been a single set and Onslaught was the third set in the Odyssey block, THAT's be best block ever.
