Kinetic Recharge recovers energy when I hit more people. Not sure what energy means in this context, whether it's just regular stamina or also more abstract stuff I might be burning up. Can't hurt anyway.

Rebel's Shroud is really neat. May make it not look like what it looks like but going unnoticed is a really nice trait to have on clothes.

Ended up with 50 CP so spent it on the only 50 CP option that isn't a companion import so now I have another survival kit to add to the free survival kit pile. Actually don't have a pile of survival kits so I may just throw this one down a well or give it to someone and send them on an adventure.

Made Leeroy into a lion as he's a sort of space Rastafarian.

Do they spoil the broth?

What are the most interesting aliens available in the chain? Weird, exotic things that aren't just your run of the mill space bugs or lizard people or whatever.

No more new player races, please. I was happy to get away from Pathfinder and all the convoluted fanfiction sellout shit like Kitsune and androids.

We're perfectly fine with Humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, and the standard stuff like that.

im working on a magic ice flame that allows the wielder to get free casts of ice knife.

whats a good name for it? im trying to avoid just calling it the "frozen Flame".

That's what I'd do with them. Looks like a pretty solid list overall.

What's your favored way to run melee tau tg? FSE with Farsight and Blademander?

1) Congratulations on getting a group together. The game is niche.
2) Have a cheat sheet ready for common actions and conditions, and have NPC quality definitions WRITTEN ON EACH GODDAMN NPC SHEET
3) Building NPCs is easy, go to (http://www.meadicus.plus.com/craftygames/npc-builder/NPCBuilder.html)

Other than that, general GM advice applies.
>reward creativity
>do not punish, but DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LET THE FULL CONSEQUENCES HAPPEN

>>47639794
If you can, convert NPC stats before you play.

>>47639794
Don't forget about the various special combat actions like grapple, trip, threaten, taunt, etc. All they need to be effective is a decent bonus in the skill used, and they make combat a lot more fun and interesting. If your players are also new to the system, they'll likely overlook these at first, and they'll take more notice of them if they see you using them effectively against them.

Be generous with using action dice to reward good roleplaying, clever ideas, or other kinds of player behavior you like. Personally, I especially like to give out action dice when a player deliberately chooses a course of action or suggests an event/effect despite knowing it would be bad for them, simply because it would be in-character. For instance, I've had players say they think they should probably take some stress damage from an upsetting experience -- that's usually worth an action die in my book.

On a related note, remember that you get an action die whenever you give one to a player, and you can use your action dice to help the players in addition to using them against them. Normally you'll use your AD to make life more difficult for the players, but you can also boost their rolls or invoke perks in their favor if they're trying something you'd really like to see succeed, or struggling more than you'd expected/wanted at a given point.

...whew.
Do you guys want to argue over shield paladins vs. greatsword paladins instead?

Shield paladins are good. Shield warpreists are ok. Shield anything else is bad. Can't get shields to work on most other builds.

>>47785969
Shields are plenty great with 3pp content, now if only they could do the same for crossbows.

Look at any Cyberpunk setting, really.

There's no need to speculate about how a Communist hellhole would look, we all know how that goes.

Mentalist (physical). Telekinesis is surprisingly overpriced in most systems to the point of uselessness.

No. Just limit what they can and cannot shapeshift into at character creation and you're golden.

Nah, just balance it.

Use Animorphs rules.

I just got done playing some Dawn of War so everything stays exactly the same.
>read
I recently reread Codename: Sailor V. If we keep it limited to that time period then Minako gets absolutly destroyed. But if we bring in the stuff from Sailor Moon, well, we've had that conversation many times and it never goes well for the Imperium.
>watched, or seen.
Last thing I watched was Space Patrol Luluco. I'd probably give this one to the Imperium, though knowing Trigger's the last couple episodes might contain enough power level escalation to change my answer.

history
I left out a word.

No I am not an autist that makes being a "gamer" an integral part of my identity. It's one of many fun hobby activities I enjoy. Not my life.

A quick test you can give yourself to see if you lack social skills is if you use the term "normie" seriously.

Outright treated as such, no. Had a few cases where I was That Guy, but that was during a Black Crusade game where everyone was a different flavour of That Guy.

>>47763156

Way to not respond to the thread bro.

You can't possibly be a normie, you're much too angry.

>values his personal freedom above the safety of others
Except for his family. Rick has shown that he cares about Summer, Morty and Beth more then himself, even if he tried to keep it hidden.

>>47762870
I would argue that Rick is Chaotic Neutral rather than evil- as you say he rejects authority and values his freedom, but it's pretty clear that he cares at least somewhat for some of the people around him. His surrender at the end of season 2 for the sake of the family was a selfless act. We don't know what went on in his past, but it's pretty clear he was involved in a large conflict with the current galactic powers that be. I think it likely this is a firefly-esque scenario of independence vs galactic domination.

He does a lot of evil shit, but it's generally as a form of revenge than pure "for the evil of it".

>>47762870
No.

>>47721344
I tried larping for about a year. It was great... or at least it would have been if there weren't some seriously shitty people that kept dragging up drama and bullshit. Met some really cool people through it, though. I still hang out with a few of them (and play tabletop with some of those few), and they still larp, but I'd rather sit at home and be bored than put in the time and effort of larping just to be forced to hang around douchebags.

People are never gonna find this thread.

The picture is too iconic, and the words 'game' and 'finder' are used in every other thread, so searching is impossible, so most people rely on visual scanning of the catalog.
