I'm more of a fan of rapiers, they fit my style of fighting as mass inf.

D&D featured pagan religions prominently, 40k on the other hand showcases a protagonist religion which is a space age version of Christianity. Would you really be worried if you got home and your son was painting up some black templars? Of course not.

>but what about chaos
I remeber when my pastor found out about 40k, and he was going to warn parents about the chaos factions. I showed him the 3.5ed chaos book and he was so furious at how underpowered it was he decided it was fine.

Googling "moral panic" with Warhammer gives surprisingly little relevant results, nearly everything's related to the big D&D scare. I did see one anecdote of someone being allowed to keep their Chaos books, because it wasn't D&D, which was wat everyone was worried about.

I do wonder what a Warhammer 40K moral outrage would look like. There would be a sense of irony to it, given the Imperium's emphasis on religious fanaticism, blind faith and willful ignorance

Truly inhuman savages.

A thread died for this.

Back when I played wh40k (1990s), everything was in softcover. I like it better, it takes up less space.

>>48310621
It costs them less money and people will still buy their crap anyways

If it can, there is hope for OP and this board.

No, autism is a spectrum so you need to cast color spray and hope one of the status effects counters it.

>>48309568
Is it a disease or is it evolution?

Checkmate, clerics.

I have to buy at least 60 cards so I can play a legal deck? Oh my, what monsters of WotC not letting me play my 0 card deck and just insta winning every tournament. Fuck off.

>>48309032
Is it weird that I kind of like the concept of deck building games that play like CCGs but just sell whole sets? Never played one though.

I fucking hate how whenever I play magic I literally need to stick to kitchen table just because I know I'm running jank that will get dumpstered at any sort of public forum but hate having to do aftermarket shit or buy a shitload of boosters every set.

I think the last straw was some guy who ran that 1/1 for W that becomes a 6/6 flying lifelinker if you have more than 30 life then rushed to remove everyone he didn't know personally from the game. Very aggravating.

>>48309531
Isn't that what LCGs are?

>>48308611
The DM's poor excuse of a plot.

A skeleton with 500 arms. The skeleton was normal sized, as were the arms.

>>48308518
Yes

>>48308518

Yes, but there's not much to talk about beyond hoping they make a comeback.

I think you mean "Milk Bottle Caps"...?

pushes old men under water wheels

thows dead cats in between the windmills grinding-wheels, ruining the corn

when the mill-wheels are taken out for washing, it removes the chocks and sents one rolling through town, smashing through walls

it uses this to break into the bank (it wants the money, which it will throw in the river)

people think an old man is master of the dog but he is terrified of it

you get sucked into its all-encompassing plan

it rules crime in this town, the thieves guild are all terrified of it

attacks pregnant women

spooks the shire-horses pulling the canal-boats through town and makes them pull the boats to one side so they block the canal and capsize

the mayor hired an assasin from the captial to kill it, the dog ate him an now wears his bloodstained cloak, the assassins guild refuses to believe this has happened and has sent another assasin to kill the mayor

the local wizard tried to remove the curse upon the dog, but there was no curse and the dog stole his spell book and dropped it in the well

the dog intends to blow up the brewery somehow

the local cultists tried summoning a demon to destroy the dog but the dog licked away part of their magic circle and the demon escaped and ate them

the demon is a little scared of the dog

at a wedding the dog jumped into the wedding cake and no-one could get it out

a widow of a colonel who retired in town has called up the guard but the dog has outwitted them at every turn

it seems to be everywhere

no-one will send help to the town as no-one will belive that its just a dog doing this and the townspeople are too scared to admit the truth

a small faction on the town council is considering putting the dog in charge, since it does what it wants anyway

people think maybe the PC's will help, but some think they are doomed and others, who still can't quite accept that its just a dog, think the real villain will eventually reveal themselves and that this might be the PC's

Learn to greentext.

I'd probably just skip town.

Evil dogs are too hardcore for me.

>>48307587
The rodents either lose this new behavior, or die out in favor of other competing creatures that do not engage in such wasteful behavior.

Our party gets chased out of town for clearing the tavern cellar of rats.

>>48307587
It's cleaner.

Generally I just say races aren't fertile with eachother unless a half-race is specifically mentioned as part of the setting (see Half-Elves and such).

Interspecies romances still exist of course, but an elf and a dwarf aren't having any children unless adoption is involved.

DM tends to stick to what's in the books. Only time I can recall it being an important part of the plot, was when a kobold character I had was married to a human.

All the time, OP.

In my current campaign, I'm waiting for the player characters to explore the nearby forest enough that they run into a couple that lives in the woods, an orcess herbalist who one day rescued and healed a human surgeon after he'd become lost in the woods; they fell in love while he was convalescing and married and now they're the local wound-healing power-couple. (The surgeon is also an obsessive reader of elvish history and knows about some elvish ruins in the woods that he would love to explore and loot, if only some tough adventurer types would offer to assist with that…)

In my previous campaign, a major plot-point revolved around a terribly ill-fated romance between a dwarf prince (a younger son; his brother was king) and an elf adventuress. They ran off together, but got hunted down the bigoted high priestess of the dwarf-kingdom and "ladyhawk'd"—placed under a curse that made them different people and different times, and never themselves together. The dwarf-king (childless and with no heir), meanwhile, had to keep his brother's daughter's elvish blood a secret, lest she become a target of the wicked high-priestess and ineligible to inherit the dwarvish throne.

In that same campaign, a PC thief married a gorgon priestess after helping to rescue her sister from an evil cult; and a PC fighter in the same party might've wound up together with a centauress knight if the knight hand't unceremoniously bought it on dungeon level four near the end of the campaign…

No, but I have wanted to use correct grammar in my OP

>>48307513
Fuck, so I just let the thread die and make another one?

Not seriously, but I have been thinking of ways to improve on the nearly-perfect system Duel Masters uses.

>>48307135
>except the points matter
But card values already matter in Love Letter.

>>48307144

i mean like the points cause different endings and narrative things to happen

>>48307164
...what the hell are you talking about?
Why would you need anything more than "Player 1/2/3/4 wins" for a 2-minute card game?

Give them really good items.

Then don't give those items to their replacements.

And don't allow them to be recoverable.

>>48307127
At least as of my latest example, I don't think that would work. They do seem resigned to loss of rank and equipment, and that doesn't seem to be enough deterrent.

I don't even think they care about "winning" or "losing" per se. As long as they have stories of the stupid shit they tried, they seem satisfied.

What exactly is the problem? It sounds like your players are having fun while taking whatever you give them in stride

Pearl calls in over the radio. "Where do you want recon, lead?"
"I want recon to set up in that field to the northeast. The grass should cover you, and you can ambush them with your TOW if you feel safe doing so."
"Copy that, Lead, we'll set up there," Pearl replies. She seems a lot more confident now that you're out in the field.
It's a short wait as they set up, while you have Erich load some of your steel shot.
"In position," she says a minute or two later.
"See anything yet?" you ask.
"... Scopes are clear," she says distractedly. "We'll let you know when we see anything."
"Copy that, out," you reply.

There's minutes of tense silence as you scan the horizon with your commander's sights. Sarah is humming something under her breath, and you need to keep a hand on your knee to stop it from tapping. Erich has a cigarette in his mouth, unlit, but chewed on. You wonder if you should break the silence.

As whole. Kinda like "Shadowrunners" in Shadowrun.
