Do you want just realistic stuff or is fantasy armor also ok as long as it is based on the countries you mentioned?

Fantasy is okay, just need good art. I just need it to not have plate armor or fantastical looking castles because the wealthiest regions look more Roman, Byzantine and Arabic in appearance.

Get better at English and then try again.

What the fuck GM? Do you think money grows on trees or something?

There's a reason I'm playing Savage Worlds, and that's because the book only costs $10.

>>48814136
Yeah, this. The fuck are you actually trying to say?

>>48813602
Maybe you should play games where playing against powergamers is fun.

Examples include?

>>48813676
No idea, most of the wargames I tried had been shit at balance.

You don't need to have a specific plane of [insert element here] I think it would be cooler to have places that have a greater or lesser affinity for certain elements.

For example; a world with fire affinity would be closer to it's sun and be a desert world while undernearth it could have a strong affiliation for shadow (which could/would be consistant across most worlds so your Plane of shadow is linked to all deep underground areas of different planets)

In OD&D the astral plane was bijective with the material plane. The astral plane was mostly empty because space is mostly empty and the "outer planes" were other planets.

>For example; a world with fire affinity would be closer to it's sun and be a desert world

How would this be any different from a world that is simply... close to a sun?

Would all suns, water worlds, and ice worlds not already be fire-, water-, or ice-attuned?

>>48813416
As many as you would have before a short rest.

>>48813510
That's very insightful anon. How many is that again?

>>48813652
So this thread is just a roundabout way to ask how many encounters you should have between rests?

Why is this comic noteworthy?

>>48813857
It really isn't, it keeps getting posted here and I just don't get the appeal. It's not like the internet is so starved of 40k fan content that they should have to care about something like this.

It's not even bad, just bland.

I'm guessing it's being posted by the comic creator with how regularly it turns up.

>>48813340
If the entirety of the character portrait can fit in a paragraph, why even have one.

>>48813340
Cliched is bad, but that's more your fault then the character portrait. I guess the only things that would make the portrait bad are if it's not a portrait or the image is just low quality. Everything else is the fault of your character. Overall, a character portrait should show the tone, appearance above the shoulders, and some of the clothes of the character.

>>48814063
There's more genetic diversity inside Africa then the rest of the world combined. I assume it's taking that into account.

>>48814083
What the fuck does that mean

Why can't we choose between them?

>>48812799
We've been moving towards a system like this that was less about luck of the dice and more about working a choice-based system. You have your equipment packs, specialization packs, soldier types, etc.

I felt that removing the luck of the draw would help make the playing field feel more moldable and more personalizable.

And adding too many systems you can choose between would muddy the system down more than it already is.

So have any games actually been played?

>>48811962
Yes. Greater Daemons pop up and get killed before they destroy a country. Lesser Daemons are killed by a few guys with swords.

In 40k a single Greater Daemon effectively renders the planet lost unless there's Astartes nearby (there are exceptions, of course) and Bloodletters are dangerous in close combat for Space Marines and Eldar, each of the two making non-named elite fighters in fantasy look pretty bad.

>>48812200
fantasy demons could refer to any number of interpretations, not your specific usage of the term

>>48812403
I assume this is bait because even though he didn't clearly specify "Warhammer Fantasy" OP is clearly asking about the differencer between 40k Daemons and Warhammer Fantasy Daemons

I want these Jasper shitters to leave. At least OSJ mains get on the point instead of cloning all match way in the back behind even the fucking Samantha.

Yes but no. To mansplain quickly, all manland decks are super janky.

>>48811706
Relative, there is always humility combo fuckery or winning with manlands it's very common in HYPER grindy decks.

I built a deck based around various "if you control exactly one creature" effects, it uses manrocks along with manlands, but is apparently just what OP is asking about.

just get the pdf if you want it
just don't use it if you don't want it

No. We didn't buy it. It just contains a bunch of random gen tables that Mearls ripped off from various D&D blogs. I'm pretty sure a lawsuit is pending but I don't know if it went anywhere.

High magic settings and elder gods don't mix well in my opinion. The Elder Gods and the unknowable are scary when you aren't flinging magic left and right, dabbling in the unknowable and mystical and magical pretty much constantly and unleashing torrents of it at a whim.

>>48810900

Like, what can the Eldritch bring to bear that you can't fling from your fingertips on a whim?

>>48810948
Reality breaking bullshit.

The BBEG and his destiny was a blatant clone of Euron Greyjoy if every poorquentyn prediction about The Winds of Winter came true. So, it was sort of basing a character on someone else's character that hasn't actually been written yet, only speculated about by fans.

However the party never met him (they weren't meant to) and the situation was resolved without the party's intervention.

They never caught on because they've only seen the television series and the show fucked Euron up to an insane degree.

I once infuriated a GM by making a Druid done in the style of Johnathan Strange and Mr Norell.

He had all of the druid class abilities and powers. But he didn't act like a dirty treehugger who lived in the woods. He dressed and acted like a old timey british gentleman with an eccentric streak who happened to have the secrets for calling upon the forces of nature by well researched ancient contracts.

He didn't wear metal armor because is was damned uncomfortable and he was no soldier, not to disparage that honorable profession. He didn't wield metal weapons because truth be told they are rather ghastly, aren't they? All that cutting and getting blood everywhere. A gentleman should aspire to a cleaner standard of warfare, given the unique opportunity to pursue such a task. Like sleeping spells, or binding your enemy with vines. Or intimidating them into standing down via an army of spiders. Fascinating creatures, spiders, did you know...

The GM was absolutely livid because he insisted I wasn't playing my druid 'right'. I assured him that everything I was doing was within the bounds of what druids were and were not allowed to do by raw.

So, obviously, he had my character torn apart by werewolves in a town where silver was forbidden because it was deemed unlucky. Which lead to the rest of the party dying soon after, because aside from a couple of potions I was their source of healing.

I once played as young solidus circa the late 80's
No one caught on because they don't play vidya. Still have his sheet on google docs:
