So, I did say this last thread, but I wanted to give a reminder. From this point on, the kiddie gloves have come off. You have a much higher chance of getting beaten down and losing fights, so battle smart, and may the dice gods have mercy on you, for I will not

You decide that, instead of running, blocking again, using the Afterimage to throw Pasta off and score a clean hit, you are going to try and blast one of the explosives in her hands despite the fact that doing such a thing takes several seconds, and she's already getting ready to throw it.

What could possibly go wrong?

A lot, apparently.

As you try and get that warmth inside you into the right place, Pasta throws the explosive, hitting you right in the face.

You scream as your face begins to burn, and your vision goes black. You fall to the ground, writhing in agony as Pasta laughs from above you.

"Well, that was easier than I expected," she says. "Looks like Vango really was just being lazy."

You feel a foot on your chest, and hear the cock of a gun above you.

"Say goodbye, runt."

>A. Squirm and try to throw her off of you

>B. Bear Shout in the direction of her voice

>C. Take out your Senzu Bean, you need it

>D. Play dead

>E. Something else

I'm so happy about this. The chance of real failure is what makes me get really invested in quests.

He wants to be an adventurer, instead of the literal murderhobo he's become.

Would making detect magic a cantrip be too OP?

Again, our new map.

Things we still need to do regarding the map:
-Locate factions and monster nests
-Scout out the terrain and what the surrounding area is like

Brood composition notes from the last area.

>Unit composition relies upon infested industrial zones and spawning nests to produce troops.

>Strong preference for swarm and overwhelming number tactics. For this units are very cheap and mass producible.

>Exceeding dangerous not due to numbers but due to carriers of plagues and payloads. Each unit is in fact a kamikaze unit more units equal more deaths equal more payloads going off.

>It got so bad that enemy bot forces were regularly routed once they succumbed to the constant plaguing payloads.

>If you killed them they went off.
>If you didn't kill them they tear your face off.

>Only way to win was not to play so Bot forces fled from the field against JAL.

>Meanwhile the payloads also had an infesting effect...

>Massive amounts of ground has been infested during the fighting JAL ordered it to sink underneath and age. Unknown number of nests are thereby maturing underground just waiting to explode upward.

>JAL also recovered vasts amount of carcasses which are being digested.

>We don't know much else. Will require research of brood or talking with JAL or Broodmother but even they might not know the answer.

Pretty good actually.

I'm a worldbuild fag, too. Turns out I can't write fantasy for shit, which sucks, as all these settings I work on will go to waste.

I can write a pretty good ghost story, though. Once wrote a story that nearly drove my girlfriend to tears, we're still together three years later. Good stuff.

Just spruce them up as campaign settings and put them online or something.

The Mutant Epoch

Im trying to get a group together for a game of TME. Obviously the hard part is finding a GM so im willing to provide the rulebooks and help learn the system.
The exact time and dates can be discussed once the GM is on board.
If anyone wants a link to the books let me know.

Keep being excellent /tg/!

Its priceless, you dont buy things with cash, you buy its service with favors and power and titans are not sold as they are the currency and power of the Adeptus Titanicus and selling one is relinquishing that power so the only way to get a titan is to either be part of a legion or have a legion be in your service.

>>48195365
Step 1: Be Rogue Trader/Explorator

Step 2: find something valuable like a STC for a machine that produces Nailclippers.

Step 3: Trade the STC for your own Warhound Titan.

Step 4: loose it in drunken gambling.

>>48195365
You can't buy a Titan. It's like asking how many Thrones would it cost to buy a nuclear weapon from the United States.
The only way for you to get a Titan would it be to find it in some backwater planet that the Mechanicus forgot, hire a legion of Malateks or hereteks to refurbish it somehow. With that you would get a fancy paperweight since you'll still need a crew. And it is not the kind of crew you get after doing a weekend long course.

I think he meant closer to conceptually mixed, not physically, i.e. a kind of oil which has been blessed to be holy.

Of course, the bigger question here is: If you can make holy oil, can it be used in holy fuel-air bombs?

You could just steal the magic mormon oil vials and not have to mix in water.

Follow Trump's example. Borrow money, and if they try to get you to pay them back, sue them into bankruptcy.

Every time you get close to losing, start a new game and use your new starting funds to pay off the debts of the old one. This way even if you start making massive losses compared to every other player you can appear successful, even pointing to your previous games as examples of your success since they technically didn't lose whilst you were playing them. This is somewhat unsustainable though but you can probably find someone to sub for you before it all comes crashing down around the 4th game.

>>48192434
how is this game played btw?

I don't think there's any doubt that you missed the Star Wars general.

The only people who care about that kind of thing are in the /swg/ and they've definitely gone much further than you in those comparisons.

Well, the thing about SotC is that it was a symbolical tale first, and a world being build second.
In other words, it was a story told through environment (and the environment existed solely to serve the story: one about desperation and the tragedy of being unwilling to accept bad shit happening, willing to defile the world itself, and inevitably ending in even more suffering) not a story OF the environment.

So I think if you want to emulate SotC, you really need to know what are you wanting to TELL your placers. What kind of meaning is hidden at the bottom of the world.
In SotC, in very simplified manner: the Colossi represent insurmountable adversity you will encounter when you are not willing to accept the world as it is.
What should the Colossi mean in your world?

That is how I would go about creating settings and campaign like you want.
But I'm also a pretentious git, so there is that.

>>48189599
i love what you're saying, this is really good advice actually, ill keep this in mind.

i did however miss a very key detail in my first post, I'm not trying to run a SotC campaign, i just want a game where there are colossus commonly throughout the land. and am looking for advice on how to make that kind of world more interesting.

I do extremely apologize, i should have made this clearer. i will however remember this when i start working on the story of this game.

>>48189647
>I do extremely apologize, i should have made this clearer. i will however remember this when i start working on the story of this game.
Nothing to apologize for, I actually kinda projected that into your post myself.
As for making a world populated by colossi interesting, one thing that springs to mind to me is that the world IS colossi, just of varying shapes and degrees of size, Some so old that they became (almost) immovable and literally became the land, others, younger and smaller, still moving around. This could make for some interesting dynamics, entire continents islands being ancient, sleeping creatures floating on sea or in the air. You could explain things like earthquakes and near-cataclysmatic events being results of said ancients waking up, moving etc... It's not particularly original concept, I'm pretty sure some works have already experimented with similar ideas, but it would still make the landscaping features consistent with the smaller colossi that still move around quite actively.
