What exactly does magical realm mean? Been posting/ lurking for a while but haven't ever known what the term means

I have not, mostly because I don't think running a magical realm campaign is feasible for me, but have you considered that you put extra effort in due to the anticipation and the extra care and attention to detail made the campaign more engaging in general?

That's probably all the justification you need.
Japan didn't have any of that technology and they still did it, granted they later had to shit out crappy tinfoil swords for their officers to wear.

Look at Dune. There's a good justification.

>>48413897
If it's carrying it with them, as long as it's not cumbersome, it was common for a very long tine for officers in modern armies well into the time of automatic weapons to get swords.

If you mean use in battle, they would need to either have armor that defeats current ranged weapons, or not go to war. In a realistic sense, anyway, if it's ca-razy, then just any kind of supertech will do.

Can't wait for the season to start so we can finally take the B1G crown back from those fucking troglodites.

link please, anon?

They have not had anyone this cringey on since that asshole with his PRECISION CASINO DICE

Knowing the Imperium, there will be always that guy who thinks that the guy with angelic wings is actually a daemon in disguise, and in the universe of 40K is very likely he is correct in his paranoia.
The only people with wings accepted are the Living Saints, ancients heroes who returned from the dead by their faith in the Emperor.

>>48413214
This is the right place, welcome home.

The problem is that you're thinking of two different things here: human/mutant conflict, and human/space marine conflict.

Mutants are abhorred in the Emperor's guiding light because they corrupt the gene pool. Space Marines (and specifically Primarchs) are both infertile and genetically modified, so they're already fairly different and "holy" in a way. The added wings for one single, infertile Primarchs isn't exactly going to make him abhorrent to his father, especially since the real judge in the 40k universe on the perceptions of important figures is shaped by the Church more than reality.

If others were born with wings there would not be the same kindness, a mutant is a mutant.

TL;DR you bang you pay

So that answers my question for the most part.

So pretty much depending on how, when, and/or where will influence the chances of survival into adulthood. Though because of grimdark that still leaves you with low odds of survival.

>>48412580
Exactly the same.

>>48412580
C.H.U.D.s.

Horrid Goblinoid BLM protester mutants. Their special ability is to chimp out in great numbers. This is especially deadly due to their high durability and numbers, difficulty to reason with or calm down, and large supply of blunt melee and thrown weapons.

What a sad night it is when /tg/ ignores dungeons.

I like dungeons too. My favorite is The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. I canth even pronounce itso correctly.

Isometrics are fun too. At least for the DM who can see the whole thing.

All the LCGs have a lack of instant speed plays, but usually have reactions, that are played in response to some criteria.

Deadlands worked much the same way.

VS actions tend to be discreet.

DBZ didn't really have instants.

I don't remember instant speed being a thing in UFS.

Pokemon has no instant speed that I can think of.

All these game are legit in strategy and card design.

>>48411856
The setting is fun for high adventure, but it can be a bit retarded sometimes.

Mechanics are clunky and will slow combat down, but you get used to it.

Character creation is fucking amazing, you can make absolutely anything. Be careful of minmaxers, they can break the game.

Overall: 8.5/10 would play again

>>48412569
Tell me more about character creation please!
And are there any tricks for speeding up combat? Like cheat sheets?

I've always liked the art style.

I don't play games based on art style though, so that's all I know.

"Attention, citizens of Delta City. Our occupational force has neutralized your city guard, and our intelligence estimates that your national military will not be able to bring a force sufficient to challenge us for at least four days, perhaps more.
"We are offering all citizens forty-eight hours to evacuate the city. If you or a loved one has impaired mobility, we will be happy to provide an escort to assist you. We will not harm you; we will not pursue you; but you will never again be able to return to the city.
"Anyone left within city limits after 48 hours will be cut down without mercy. Thank you for your attention. I hope you folks have a pleasant day otherwise."

>>48411802
None because my players are assholes who trip over each other trying to snipe the bad guy if he says more than two words to them.

Then started complaining when I started giving him bulletproof escape plans should that happen(because being an intelligent tactician is part of the BBEG's character and personality, and he learned after the first time that they'll basically try to murder him if they're in the same room given the chance.)

And of course complained more when one of them wanted to do this big monologue and got shot at by the hostile enemies he was attempting to monologue at. The irony was completely lost on them.

>>48412479
That's one reason I like sci-fi campaigns. The enemies can taunt the PCs over radio, leaving them unable to shoot him mid taunt.

>>48411517
"I flirt with the shopkeep"

"Great she is or isn't into you"

>>48411558
Fucking Schrödinger's Cashiers.

Either very poorly, very awkwardly, or it doesn't happen.

I mean, we all have girlfriends, but some of these guys all act like 12 year old kissless virgins.

Sister Potentia WS 4 | BS 4 | S 4 | T 4 | W 2 | A 2 | I 4 | Ld 9 | Sv 2+/6++
Costs 150pts for a single unit. Up to 3 additional models can be added for 50pts each.
Wargear: Twin-linked Heavy Flamer, Hurricane Bolter
Special Rules: Acts of Faith, Shield of Faith, Decimator Protocols, Move Through Cover, Very Bulky
Any model may replace its Twin-linked Heavy Flamer with a Twin-linked Heavy Bolter or Twin-linked Multi-Melta. Any model may replace its Hurricane Bolter with a Missile Launcher. Any model may take Stabilizing Servos (Grants Slow and Purposeful).
>I have no idea what to make its Act of Faith be.

I can understand wanting Centurion suits to stay with the Space Marines but I think it could fill a niche of heavy shock troops that the Sisters lack. The Space Marines have Terminators and the Imperial Guard have Ogryns.

Another thing, have you considered making Artificer Armor an upgrade that's only available to command squads and HQ choices? Not even the Space Marines can widely equip themselves with Artificer armor and it doesn't make sense that the Sisters have more access to it than space marines.

Has anything heavier than a rhino chassis been considered for vehicles? I know Preds are a Space Marine thing, but the Infernus or Ba'al pred seems right up their alley. Also boltcannons (S6 AP3) seems like they could find a home here, don't ask me where, but they seem to fit the theme.

One last dumb idea, in keeping with new thematic weaponry, (IE, Frost cannons for Wolves) why not give the sisters a sort of thermal ray gun? S7 AP1, Lance or Armorbane maybe? Something that lets them reach out and touch vehicles without completely overshadowing melta's power. Just a thought.

>>48412105
>thermal ray gun

So...Volkite?

>>48410113

No because I don't play with idiots and "gender bending shenanigans" are not a consideration for any player who doesn't stalk the WotC/Paizo forums.

>Tabletop gaming is associated with gender bending shenanigans
Why do you tell lies on the internet?

>Tabletop gaming is associated with gender bending shenanigans thanks to D&D
Since when?

I don't know if this counts but I got into it to try to impress/spend time with a boy on whom I had a crush.

>>48410318
Did it work?

Yeah this one girl named Allie who loved anime. Everybody had a crush on her and she loved roleplaying characters to be as kawaii as fuck.
Shit I had a crush on her. We were all pathetic.

>>48409628
>have you ever gotten into a game just because the lore?

Yeah, that's how I got sucked into 40K.

Yes, the games in question are Eclipse Phase, Degenisis, Unhallowed, and Unknown Armies. I absolutely adore the flavor of these games.

I wanted to say that while good lore can improve chances of game with good mechanics, even the finest lore won't save game that has garbage mechanics. But then there's this guy >>48409661

Civilization isn't big blobs. It's small, city sized blobs that sometimes coalesce into huge blobs. Countries aren't things. You don't say you're a Greek or a Mesopotamian, you're from the city state you were born in. Every now and then there will be a huge overarching empire, but they are exceptional.

You should read through the campaign material for the AD&D 2E Dark Sun setting. It's a desert world with pockets of civilizations spread between huge tracts of deadly wasteland. There are some good ideas about merchant caravans, water consumption, etc. that you could lift.
