Rigid rectangles made out of translucent green plastic. The relevant currency symbol is printed on the side, and some sort of circuitry is visible within, which may or may have to do with the things actually interfacing with anything electronic.

I also want to get into 40k but dont know where to start.
What should i do first?

The standard starting point for lore is the various Imperial Guard novels.

>>48633501
If you're into wiki-walking, Lexicanum is a good place to start. That's how I learned most of my lore when I got into 40k:

The various codices are also good places to start:

Strike! isn't particularly good. It's okay, at best.
If you're not adverse to newer D&D systems you can use D&D 5e, which has both classic D&D stuff and rules for basic firearms in the DMG that doesn't make them particularly gamebreaking.

If you're adverse to D&D-types entirely, go with Mutants and Masterminds 3e; it's only superficially similar (it uses a d20, but ONLY a d20 and that's it), and the system itself is highly flexible, using a classless point-buy method to build characters with powers and abilities based on Effects rather then preset limitations with the fluff surrounding these effects up to you, greatly diversifying the ways spells and such work.
There's a suppliment for 2e called Warrior's and Warlocks which details how to make fantasy comic book heroes or D&D style heroes in the 2e version of M&M, and the system is similar enough that I've copied it to make characters like Conan the Barbarian in 3e and so on.

While in theory just spending the right number of points lets any creative player "break" the system since the effects of abilities are not set (being based ONLY on how much you spend on it) this means that making extremely powerful game-breaking abilities means the player will be shitty somewhere else, especially if you give them less power points (build points) to start with.

I love the spider. Opened 2 in my last 2 drafts. I also enjoyed the shit storm when she was revealed and every bad player said she was shit.

For WotC to man the fuck up and allow strategies outside of various flavors of midrange garbage.

Print some shit for mono-red burn, print some draw-go type cards, print a good board wipe, allow some sort of fun combo deck in the format

sorry friend. Maro hates draw-go

Only fun interactive midrange mirrors for all!

I will not blame anyone for looking at the past iterations, seeing the shittery in those, and being naturally skeptical of this new one. The past iterations were bogged down by very destructive admins.
This server, however, has different admins which have been playing for a long time. Plugins have been switched, RP and rules will be more enforced, and there will hopefully be minimal deleting of the server by buttmad admins.

War has received an overhaul - instead of two factions fighting tooth-and-nail because they feel like it, wars have to have scale and interest. If you nuke someone because they killed you by accident, you're done. If you annex another nation just because, you're done. You need to have a worthwhile CB to declare war. As well as this, you can install puppet governments, colonies, have revolutions, etc. This will make it much more complex and ~realistic~ than just an extermination fest like it was last time.

New plugins also allow you to make better boats and craft better weapons, and new meme recipes have been added. I'll post them if anyone has any interest.

Keep in mind: all of this is liable to change if nobody likes it or it turns out to not be as good of a system as many would think. But, this is a very promising and interesting prespect in my opinion, so I hope you'll play and have a great time roleplaying in autismblox with all of us.

Actually when I first joined was SO down to be a Japanese but y'all told me to go fuck myself and that I was unwanted. Kind of took it to heart desu.

>>48631305
Sounds like a different magic system to me. But I would be interested I guess.

So nothing like Harry Potter then?

>>48631305
nope

You tell me

>>48630873
It would be a lot riskier to slam the winning play down on the table like some kind of Yu-Gi-Oh character, for one.

>>48630873
Then magic cards would be made of glass and filled with some sort of liquid. Next question.

Lure it into a trap, spears work best for basic damage, and carrying around grease and a torch will help you keep it dead. They're not likely to bait you unless they're a huldra or a comely she-troll. Regardless, you must always be wary.

Designate one player as the 'time tracker' and make them tick of turns of dungeon exploration.

Designate one player as the 'gopher' dock XP from the entire party every time they do not fetch something for you.

Play a god wizard. You won't deal much if any damage but you will truly be overpowered. Your DM probably won't notice because he sounds like a moron.
