Every planet in Mass Effect's setting, if they have enough life on them, are now given a Shadowrun manasphere. This means that people on mana planets start to give birth to Elves and Dorfs. Mages, spirits, and dragons start popping up all over the galaxy, ect ect. What happens?

Everything is reduced to five choices maximum, with one of the choice
colored red and another choice colored blue.
In the end, there will be only three choices that actually matter and you will be forced at all times to pick just one or to quit playing entirely.

Mutants and Masterminds is generally acknowledged as one of the better superhero systems. I've heard it needs the GM and players to communicate pretty well though.
>>
>>47985918
It does because unless if the GM says no, you can do pretty much anything with it.
>>
>>47985922
Yeah. You should at least run ideas by your GM. It's simple as "Hey, you don't plan on time travel being a thing here, do you?"
"Nah, Craig."
"Alright, I guess I'll go with my other idea, how about a villain who can mind control anyone wearing a fursuit or-"
"No."

Got ideas for an interesting weapon or suit of armor in 40k? Got ideas for its history? Got ideas for its stats?
If you don't have a good idea for one, flesh out one of the ideas below!
>Godwyn Pattern Combi-Lasgun
>Fleshripper Daemon weapon of Khorne with surprisingly incompetent Daemon
>Ripper Gun with power field generator in stock
>Jokaero carpal (wrist-mounted) weapon
>Mk II power armor; it is unpainted and legion is unknown.
>A suit of humble flak armor deemed "Ol' Reliable" by its fortunate only wearer.
>A battered and dented Sororitas power armor helmet.
>Scout Armor that, when in hiding, slowly changes to match the color of the environment.

heavy mining armor, for the IG
replaces heavy weapons teams for a cost, gets the profile of more or less a marine, gains relentless with the heavy weapon

Are they ever going to make mk I armor?

>>47985594
>combi lasgun
Maybe lascannon
Unless you mean a lasgun with a single shot combi bolter underslung?
Awesome.
Ideas
>power bayonet/knife
>autogun or stubber that shoots rounds that do little initial damage, but contain a highly acidic substance that can weaken ceramite, given time and effort.
>rebreathers connected to canisters of laughing gas or helium for cultists
>"holy hand grenade" that actually opens a hole to the warp when discharged, either consuming the demon or reinforcing him
>set of replica samurai armor with katana owned by a weeby Planetary Governer
>some vehicle(anything from car to starship) that has a machine spirit dangerously close to being a true AI with a sassy attitude to boot. Bonus points if you can fool the inquisitor into believing it's the Captain of the ship.
I'm burned out of shitty ideas

Make the lovecraftian horror have a very human shape, behavior and personality, and we're right on the horror side.
Even better: it can change shape to the absorbed person's shape, essentially turning into its victims complete with personality and behavior and maybe partial memories. And the mind-prisoners are forced to watch as the changeling warden ruins their lives.
That Guy Story Thread
I'll start with A "That Group" story.
>Begin to get into TTRPG, even going to great lengths to get two randoms to play a shoddy GURPS campaign on roll20 that dies out in two sessions.
>However, feel confident and believe in person would be easier
>Overhear group of friends/acquaintances after school talking about their D&D adventures
>Tell them I have some stuff ready from that roll20 session
>They are all impressed by my bare minimum preparations.
>There's 6 people, but my logic was since it was in person it would be easier
>I was itching to play so bad
>Decide on GURPS because that's literally all I know
>Tell them at lunch to find GURPS Lite, skim through it, think of a character, and prepare a list of normal items to bring on the adventure. Also told them it's low fantasy so no wizards or elves (but magic was going to make a return when they accidentally help the antagonist)
>Basic shit for people who I thought were experienced in D&D.
>Wrong
>None of them do shit
>One of them insists he should be a whore for no fucking reason
>Another keeps asking to be magic related shit
>The others didn't tell me a thing, but probably wanted to be murderhobos like they were used to
>But the hype of a cool place to play and great food at the first session kept me going
>Even make shallow characters that can be added to on session 1
>Surprise: Majority of the party has work so scheduling is fucking impossible.
>Eventually the group and I lose interest
>All
>6
>Were
>That Guys
So I got about four of my closer friends to hop on roll20. Only two made characters and showed genuine interest, while the other two were lazy half-That Guys. That's another, less terrible story.

It doesn't work like that. You can't just pick up 6 guys off the street and expect them to mesh perfectly with you.
>>
>>47984755
>reading comp of 0
They weren't off the fucking street. They were friends from school.
The problem wasn't taste either. The problem is that they had a total disinterest in participating. They were all fucking lazy and didn't put a single grain of effort in preparing anything for session 1.

I need titles /tg/! Original ones, for the key players in the court of the royal city. I already have the quite unoriginal Emperor chosen, but what of his advisors?
>His right hand and chief confidante?
>The master of the Magos Council?
>The head priest, voice of a hundred religions?
>The commander of the royal armies?
>The silent psion scion of the sneaks?
While we're at it, give me examples of your own made-up or original titles. I'd love to hear 'em.

How about "Sir Spam-a-lot, Queerlord of the Mediocre-at-best Comic"?
>>
>>47984311
The mediocrity of the comic can be discussed on /co/. The image was only meant to play off the subject, nothing more. Diggin' that title though, but there's no knights on the council currently, so I'll save "Sir Spam-a-lot" for another time.
>>
>>47984365
Alright then. In that case, you'd probably find this page interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_titles
It's quite an impressive list, and includes neat titles like Tagmatarchis and Recipient of Edicts.

Why the fuck do they have the beaked helmets? I love them and I'm aware not all of them use them, but it looks so stupid

>>47984262
Should clarify I love the chapter itself, not the helmets
>>
It's an older type of armor, the generation before the type most commonly seen on Space Marines. According to the Deathwatch RPG, this version of the armor has plates that fit together very well, allowing for better range of movement and quieter operation. To most Astartes, that's not a big deal, as they want to have a big clompy intimidating approach. Raven Guard like to use ambushes and sneak attacks; the quieter armor suits their style of warfare quite well, and they have more of the older suits than most chapters.
I dunno why they have the beekee helmet on that particular mark of armor; it's how Space Marines were drawn all the way back in 1st Edition.

/tg/, how would a setting work that has FTL communications, but only Near Light Speed travel?
Planets can instantly communicate information to each other, but deliveries and transportation are limited by near light speed travel with the associated time dilation "2 months travel through space, 20 years pass where you left".
How would deliveries, travel, immigration, and warfare work in such a setting?
It came upon me when listening to

This is the most classic SF setting, countless authors have described things along those lines. From Le Guin all the way to Simmons, just read /something/.

>>47982146
If you hate yourself, read the Ender's Game series. The first one is ballin'. The ones after that suck ass. But it describes it pretty well.

Thanks for the suggestions anon.
I'm still trying to grasp it.
Like, imagine two planets far away hate the ever loving guts out of each other. One sends a war fleet.
The soldiers feel that 2 months have passed, and then when they arrive. . .what happens?
Has 20 years passed back home, what if peace was declared in those 20 years?

Let's talk about tables, /tg/, and the people who sit around them.
What does your gaming group look like? Give us a roster.
How often do you guys get together?
Do you have just one, or do you bounce between tables?
And the big question, of course:
If you could change something about your group, BESIDES how often you get to play, what would it be?And why aren't you changing it?

My current group is running a 5e game, but due to the summer shaking up everyone's schedule we haven't met for a month or so, which is a shame - I was enjoying the game. I only tend to have one group for any given time, but since I don't always want to DM, I find myself joining other tables from time to time.
The current lineup is,
Myself - Large bearded viking (also large-bearded viking) and Usually-DM, currently playing a Half-Elf Dex Paladin with rapier and shield. She's Lawful Evil, with the Oath of the Crown, and doing her absolute best not to be an edgelord about it. She is, simply, a pragmatic person.
Girlfriend - Slender Goth with a Natalie Dormer Undercut. Good at playing brash yet honest characters. Currently playing a human STR Paladin, but also spec'd to sword and board - we've got the feats to form a two-man shield wall and make a hard point on the battlefield.
Roommate - Younger guy, just turned 21 or so. Lifetime of Irish step dance, plays guitar. Currently playing a Half-Elf Ranger who has succeeded in making exactly zero shots - but at least he's got good humor about it.
Friend - Stocky, good-natured guy with curly hair and bad luck with women (though who the fuck am I to call someone "stocky"). Playing the dwarf barbarian, who has just been going apeshit on some Duergar jailers to get us out - strength score like a motherfucker.
DM's girlfriend - Young (21), trendy-ish, dyed hair and artsy clothes. Salty-mouthed and hard-drinking, gets naked (not during game nights) often enough for it not to be a thing anymore. Playing a half-orc warlock with an undead pact, has been the most in-character so far.
DM - Slender guy, runner's build, tattooed and easily excited. His first time running a game, and he's doing a pretty good job so far - a good enough job that I want to encourage him.

Bump, I've been trying to get a first group together myself and I'd be interested to see what the typical group looks like
