Also forgot to mention in the patch notes:
- The Ecclesiarchy Battle Contingent has been renamed to the Faithful Throng
- The Sacred Retribution Wing now has special rules: all units in the formation get TL when firing at enemies withing 6" of an objective and whenever two or more units in the formation fire at the same target, they get Pinning.

The knight was a standard Fighter, by the way.

>First session, we all meet in a road-side inn, and clear a kobold cave who worship some dragon god and are raiding nearly lands
>They have gathered tribute for when he returns, but we slaughter them, take the valuables and return to get out rewards

After this, we pretty much kept traveling to everywhere trouble seemed to be brewing.

>Knight and Cleric both needed to learn more about what kind of disaster (might) happen for their causes
>Rogue was simply in it for the gold
>My character was searching for other sorcerers to teach him more about magic

So we eventually came across what was the cause for all the chaos; an ancient dragon, who was defeated yet never properly killed, was about to wake up from his restorative slumber.
The dragon-worshipers felt him waking up and started preparing by gathering offers and tributes.

While most sessions were
>travel here
>clear forts/caves there
>save X
>recover Y
the last few sessions we had to try to stop the reawakening from happening.

We made our way to a kingdom's capital, where we got an audience with the king. The knight eventually gained his trust, so we found out that, in ancient times, this dragon was fucked up hard by the kingdom's founder, who founded his castle right under the mountain where the dragon's lair was.
Because he was too weak after the fight to finish it, he fled, and simply claimed he had slain the dragon and established his Warrior-Kingship on that mountain (hoping his descendants would deliver the coup de grace).
Since the mountain was impossible to climb due to the damage done to it (and the fact that the cave system was overrun with molten rock), nobody could ever dispute this claim.

When the dragon simply never returned, they had guessed that it succumbed from the wounds and it simply faded from royal business.

cont.

Well, turns out it wasn't dead, and it wanted revenge.
As we made our way up to the mountain, slaughtering countless kobolds and other cultists, we eventually found entrances to the mountain's hollow insides, however, it was overflowing with the molten rock, thus impossible to enter.

We then tried to climb outside the mountain.
Didn't work, so we had started bickering over what to do.
While we were busy conversing, the dragon suddenly roared.
Like a mountain-shaking roar.

After me and the Cleric casted Haste on the party, we ran as fast as we could to the city.

The city, however, was overrun by dragon cultists and kobolds wreaking havoc, slaughtering townsfolk and gathering gold as tribute for the dragon.
We tried to clear out the areas we could, making our way to the royal keep.
Battle between dragon and us ensued once we arrived at the keep.

>Rogue is running around, shoots the shit out of the dragon but it keeps raining hell upon everything so he can't stand still for a second
>Knight is pretty fucked because he doesn't have a ranged weapon
>I'm throwing spells left and right, attempting to damage the dragon but I'm p fucked if I get hit by his breath attack
>Cleric uses his spells to support us

>We eventually manage to ground it, Knight starts to fight this thing in melee range, gets pretty fucked up by tail sweeps and wing smacks
>I manage to run out of spells to cast
>Cleric uses his small amount of damaging spells but it doesn't make a difference

>It starts to fly again, but it's considerably weakened
>Rogue shoots his last bolt before bolting himself
>Cleric heals the Knight, has little to no spells left
>Knight decides to slash it when it comes down to swoop
>Dragon dives to attack him, he dodges successfully and slashes it
>He now comes for me, I'm fucked
>Dives, opens his jaw to roar
"I throw my spear in it's mouth.
>Roll 19
>Just as I throw, the dragon uses his fire breath
>I do not manage to dodge

Next post last post.
Anyone even reading this?

>>48050359
Yeah man, lets keep this going

>Bad writing

In 40k? Surely, that can't be the case.

>>48049479
Shaman were super powerful and also super stable psykers. The only thing they worried about was their souls getting nommed by daemons.

>>48049479
>Bad writing or intentional?

Both.

>>48049476
Write the base setting out and set it as "Pay What You Like"

Then charge for expanded content. But don't make it unreasonable or no one will buy anything.

Think of it like DLC.

What systemare you writing for anyway?

It's hard to make a buck as a fantasy writer aye?

I think coming alongside with a robust ruleset is always the best way to sell a setting; and/or having a lot of prepackaged resources already figured out, like town/dungeon layouts and stats for important persons and quest hooks.

Getting some hype for the setting through something like a series of fantasy novels or webcomics set in the universe is a good start.

NPCs by Drew Hayes: When a group of Player Characters die in a Tavern, a group of NPCs have to take their place in an attempt to keep their insane King from finding out about their deaths and bringing doom to their village.

I didn't have high expectations for the book going in, but I actually fell in love with it for some reason.

>the Way of kings is awesome in a shonen way.
So, bad?

>reading fiction

This is a book /k/ is making fun of. Here are some of the highlights.

>William S. Lind (born July 9, 1947) is an American monarchist, paleoconservative, columnist, Christian, and a light rail enthusiast.

Preface

>The state upheld its unpleasant responsibility of setting torch to faggots, was what marked this as an act of Recovery

Chapter 1

>We lost a lot of guys on Iwo, and they were men, not women. Of course, these were the years of “political correctness.” Our colonel was running for general, and he figured he could kiss ass by being “sensitive to issues of race, gender, and class.”

Chapter 5

>The scum depended on them; no lawyers, no scum (a point we have enshrined in Victorian law, where you must represent yourself in court).

> Boyd was the greatest American military theorist of the 20th century

Chapter 8

>“And in the Marine tradition, I propose a toast, gentlemen,” I concluded. “To the Christian Marine Corps, and confusion to our enemies.” Appropriately, it was drunk in Sam Adams beer.

Chapter 11

>Books like Martin van Creveld’s 'The Transformation of War' had opened quite a few minds.

>Fedora Man
>Who, I would like to point out to those who didn't read Chapter 10, actually wears a fedora and LARP's some idealized version of the late 1940s with his family.

Chapter 12

>“Because Don and the rest of the gays have me by the balls, that’s why,” Hokem said. “Well, not that way, but you know what I mean.”

Chapter 13

>“Ms.” Lateesha Umbonga LaDrek, the Secretary of HUD

>I don't necessarily disagree with Lind, but when he puts it this way it's pretty autistic
>\thread t b h

>Like the Russian BMP, the Bradley was an explosion waiting to happen, a tin-clad rolling armor dump that any anti-tank weapon instantly turned into a Viking funeral for its crew.

>But his Secretary of Defense wanted to say something. She had represented Harlem in Congress, and after her defeat by a Black Muslim candidate the administration had given her the defense job to maintain her visibility; she was one of its biggest supporters in the black community. The 42nd Division was her baby – in fact, she had carried several of its babies, until the abortionist had restored her shapely figure – and she wanted it to have its chance to shine.

>“Mr. President,” said the Honorable Kateesha Mowukuu, “I am the only black woman at this table. We have heard what these white men have to say. I would remind you that in this war, white men are our enemy. Now you will hear what a black woman has to say, and I expect all of you to listen with respect.”

>“Black people have been the only warriors in history. White men can’t fight. It’s because their noses are too small. Courage comes from the nose, not the heart, as the African spiritual healers you call witch doctors have long understood. That’s why black people eat their snot. What do you white folk do with your snot? You wrap it up in a little white surrender flag and put it in your pocket. So you don’t have no courage.”

>“All the great warriors in history have been black. Caesar was a black man, and so was his enemy, Hannibal. The Spartans were black. They just dyed their hair blond, to fool their enemies into thinking they were weak white people. Charlemagne was a black man. In French, ʻcharlemagneʼ means ‘kinky hair.’ The Vikings came from Africa, which is where they got those helmets with horns on them. Gunpowder was invented by ancient Zimbabwean scientists, who made it from elephant shit. You ever hear an elephant fart? Black scientists knew there had to be some juju behind that.”

this man's prose is atrocious

might be fun to play as ridiculous multi-culti boogeymen trying to destroy his weird idea of what proper americans are

Also does their mindfuckery interact with rival greater daemons?

Like, if an unclean one and a secret keeper team up to fuck up some outpost, does the keeper get super aids and the unclean one fall under the keeper's sexmachine aura?

Could they fuck and make superdeamons?

The selection process for marines means that only some of the most strong-willed humans are selected, who gain even stronger wills through mundane training and hypno-indoctrination.
>>48048261
Daemons do not have a gender. They are not conceived by biological reproduction but are instead formed in the warp by emotions.
>>48048193
Generally, daemons will protect themselves from such influences.

Well we need resources.

>Raid Action 1 + 2
Sarah ( Eyes ) + Roy (Muscle) + Little P (Driver) + Alias ( Safe cracker ) + Joy (Wild Card )
You four with be the team main with Alias making some opening for your raids.

Lord and JAL your welcome to join in or watch over if you want.

Monsters are something we can raid for sure and get some fighting experience with. Otherwise we're just waiting on the tribels to get that info.

See if we can't find some people to raid the shit out of.

Well, it's based on Runequest, so it depends on whether or not you think Runequest is good.

>>48047392
I've mostly only heard good things about it, but then again I've mostly talked to people involved in the development of it.
Not played it myself yet.
I do know that it's playable and is in use by at least a few ongoing groups, which seem to have a good time.

How do you feel about Runequest?

>>48048829
Never played, not an MMO person.

>>48047300
Sir Terry Pratchett would get my vote too.

Spoony, because we're all mentally-unstable, maladjusted, and think we know what we're talking about.

Gilgamesh, the original murderhobo.

Second.

>>48046441
If you mixed the World Eaters with the Word Bearers, would you get a World Beating legion?

>>48046441

Iron Hands is currently strongest because their legion rite makes them reduce the strength of all weapons by 1 and gives their tanks iwnd. Alpha legion are next because they can steal any unit

>>48046441
Define strong.

>>48046485
You need to average the spare l from World out somehow to make the pun work

>>48045983

It's like difficulty levels.

A is easy. It's for people who don't want any challenges or hardship.

B is respectable, but kind of dull.

C is the real deal.

>>48045983
I am a simulationist, therefore B. Before everything else, things need to make some goddamned sense.

>>48046019
You can have difficulty with A.
It just changes the number of foes you're throwing at them and up the ante on the kind of schemes/tricks you have planned for them.

>>48045904
Finally, a return to the golden age

Such board culture

I guess the reasonables would use the other ones as a decoy...
