I don't think i'd enjoy it.

Unless it was an ERP.

Families aren't fun.

>>47787461
Family bonds are useful for bringing players together, for example making everyone cousins. That's about it.

>>47787371
No, but I know the pain you speak of. My senior year, one of my friends was a control player and constantly used a deck of nothing but kill spells.

You got mad

Use your sideboard or just play a game for humor and concede g2. He could potentially get mana screwed/flooded twice.

>>47787371
There is zero shame in knowing when you can't win and cutting to the chase.

However, sideboards are a thing; consider dedicating a few sideboard cards to matchups like this. Creatures with hexproof or indestructible, for example.

The Wing that focuses on Flamers and Meltas. DA's legion gimmick appears to be the prototype Legion that tested our everyone else's specialty and still retains knowledge of how to do all of it.

I assume this is explained by saying most of the other wings were wiped out during the accidental armoury explosion that destroyed Caliban after the Horus Heresy.

>"the Ip manager told us to stop hinting at it (at legions 2 and 11) "

heaven forbid the most potentially interesting aspect of 40k and the Imperium ever have any light shed on it

It would be far more helpful to tell us the character's goals, personalities, why they're together, rather than just race and class.

Seriously, what do your players want out of the game? What are their reason's for adventuring? Build some quests around that. If someone is hunting for a criminal that took someone or something precious to them, start the campaign out with a rumor or a lead to follow or something like that.

Quest to find the rest of the group.

What moron DM let someone go an Aarakocra?

I was going to answer seriously, then I finished reading the post.

>Shit that didn't happen
>Thinly-veiled fetish thread

Yeah, I've played in game where characters have secret agendas. They're only really good if the GM directs the plot to facilitate a big payoff. Otherwise, they either never come up all (in which case what was even the point?) or they just lead to a dissatisfying party wipe.

I find the big reveal is too restrictive and I trust my players to be adults and keep out of character knowledge out of the game, so when I GM I always have secrets like this shared openly with the group. Its worked out pretty well so far.

4e game ages ago.

Party thought my character was staying out of the sun due to being a dark elf. He was actually a vampire, and the reason they were constantly waking up with one less healing surge. For about the first half of the game they thought there was some sort of magical shenanigans going on.

It was pretty great.

I got nothing, but I'm gonna bump you. Godspeed anon

Pick a faction and just spin off from their really

Thanks friend.

Trying to understand "protection".
To what extent dos it actually protect a creature? Like obviously a creature can't be targeted by a red spell if it's got protection from red. But for example, could a foul tongue invocation force someone to sacrifice Emrakul? Or is it simply immune to all effects that result from coloured spells?

Also does targeting Thunderbreak regent with Ulamogs cast ability cause Ulamogs controller to take 3 damage?

>>47786182
Protection from Red, for instance, means it cannot be:

D amaged by red spells or the abilities of red permanents

E nchanted/Equipped/Attached by Red permanents

B locked by Red creatures

T argeted by Red spells or abilities from Red sources.

D E B T. Damage Enchant/Equip Block Target. That's all protection stops. Foul-Tongue Invocation does none of these to Emrakul, so it can hit Emrakul.

>Ulamog question
Is Ulamog's triggered ability an ability?

Non-Socratic answer: Yes.

>>47786182
The handy mnemonic for protection is DEBT. Something with protection from {blah} cannot be Damaged, Enchanted/Equipped, Blocked, or Targetted by anything that is {blah}.

For Emrakul, Foul-Tongue invocation targets a player, not emrakul - so its protection doesn't apply.

Try searching ebay, I managed to find full boxes of them, the Uruk-kai, Dwarves, and skeletons armies from Alliance and Caesar.

Try searching for Caesar Miniatures or 1/72nd fantasy in Ebay

>>47785760
Actually, following up on my post here, doesn't seem you can find them that way anymore as I just tried. I can see Caesars ratmen, goblins, and more but not their adventurers line.

Yeah I've pretty much abandoned the idea of this particular bundle.
So if y'all know of any other one that is similar...

>>47785418
>Do you have a preferred system you enjoy using?

I sure do.

>>47785438

Would you tell me what it is?

You don't have to if you don't want to. ;_;

>>47785418
If your group knows anything about 40K lore, do Dark Heresy.

If not, try Mutants and Masterminds.

Now I feel guilty for telling the editor guy the current format was shit at war hammer fest

>>47784469
Why? It was, if this relaunch makes it good again i'll thank the salty fans that made that clear

so i take it visions is being dropped and the hobby stuff and such is being rolled back into WD?

He could've said something like "You know, I think what you and I seek in a game are different, so I'll take my leave." but some people are just asses it seems.
My tuesday gaming session was nice. We didn't make much progress but it was nice nonetheless, with all faces left unpunched.

>>47784393
Really? I've never played an actual D&D game so does this shit actually happen? Who gives a shit if your character dies just make a new one, the fuck?

I can't believe people would react like this to a bit of roleplaying, paper and pencils, you'd have to be mentally ill.

Not to insult you or add injury here, but you shouldn't have let him roll fuck all against another player. That shit is where you ask him to leave, since he had already made it abundantly clear that he is an obnoxious moron who is trying to be disruptive. In the future, try to be assertive here, at this point, so it doesn't get so far.

Sorry to hear you got spit on; none of what that moron did is a reflection on you. You aren't a super bitch just because some turbospazz was off his meds and didn't know how to deal with people today. I hope you guys enjoy your game next Tuesday.

To check the power of firearms and explosives, the majority of player travel would be through paid subways where they'd be confiscated. Players that would want them have take a paid cab or walk which takes time (each day passed gives four "opportunities" to do things, and "walking" to/from a place would consume two).

Additionally, once every three turns the GM would roll a d20 for a random event (1-9 = no, 10-20 = yes) which the player would have the option of pursuing. Quests would be "timed", and have to be completed within a certain number of ingame days or else the player looses reputation with the faction/questgiver.

Yes. It concealed their identity.

No because it's impractical and uncomfortable.

I once played in a eastern-fantasy game as a ninja-styled character whom specialized in disguise... however, being able to actually act out the roles actually ended up mattering much much more than the costumes themselves. To be honest, I actually didn't have my character conceal her face most of the time, as it being seen didn't exactly mean much in a low-technology setting where photography and such didn't exist and her physical description was average enough to be like half the population anyway. I DID always use fake names though.

Anyway, yeah... if impersonating a priestess, it was important to know a region's religious myths and histories. If impersonating a oiran, it was important to know how to perform and keep up a conversation about topics like art and culture, ect. The character ended up being based primarily around non-combat skills because of it (and liberal use of poisons when the need to "deal" with someone did arise).

chess has been popular for many years

Sure but I've never once played against a Patzer online, except for the last two days where I've seen it three times. Was it used recently by a GM or something?
