You say hello to Giran as he lands, causing the other creatures to look at their boss in confusion.

"You know this little pipsqueak?" one asks.

"This "little pipsqueak", is the one who beat me in the tournament," Giran answers. "So show him some respect."

You begin to explain to Giran why you've come, but he cuts you off rather quickly.

"Yeah, I heard everything," Giran tells you. "The water here's held back by a dam. It's old, older than any of us, and a real beautiful work. I'd gladly release the water for you, but I can't. See, the dam's held together by Merry-Go-Round Gum. It's completely indestructible."

Nam looks down, letting out a broken sigh.

>A. Tell him that you can break the dam (Kamehameha Wave)

>B. Ask Goku if he thinks he can do it

>C. Ask if you can fill some capsules with water for Nam to take to his village

>D. Something else

>>B. Ask Goku if he thinks he can do it
>>D. Get Krillin to help

Let's all do it together. It's not stronger than teamwork!

D&D

>>47729280
Easily 40k. I have seen so many trainwreck abominations who play that game.

>>47729400
It's at the point where the anti-D&D fags are easily a thousand times worse than the D&D fans.

They're dedicated to how much they hate something. They're more salt than human at this point.

>>47729235
Like most, he needs to be special, probably with some class levels, and a goal as well as some flaws and desires would be good. A servant to ancient water god is always a classic for these kinds of creatures.

Frog dick.

>Does Chaos hate humanity?
They want to torture the fuck out of us and use us as playthings, so yes.
Is there any chapter that just wants to murder it out of existence?
Space Marine chapters? All of them want to murder chaos out of existence. Chaos chapters? Depends on which one.

Chaos hate/loves everything that isn't chaos more or less equally. Sure we're essentially fuck toys for the chaos gods in the greater scheme of things, but so is virtually every other race.

How can Chaos hate Humanity? Humans are one of the most chaotic entities in the world.

We build, yet our capacity to destroy is always greater.
We let emotion rule us over logic.
Humanity is a sprawling mass of Chaos held back only by a flimsy adherence to social order and law.

I think Chaos dislikes Humanity, since we have free will, the definition of chaos, whereas chaos adheres to a rigid structure in both hierarchy and brand of chaos...

Mistborn series by Brian Sanderson has a dark fantasy vibe, and the series is damn good.

>>47728358
Gotrek and Felix series is the classic WHFB novel series.

Then you've got Genevieve Undead. I've got the omnibus in the bookcase next to me and I still consider it one of the best books I own of any fantasy setting

After that, you've got loads to choose from. C.L. Werner usually produces decent quality. Also, I like the short story anthologies since there are generally a couple of good stories there.

As a general rule, the more recently it was published the worse a Warhammer novel is likely to be. The sweet spot for warhammer is from the late 90s to the mid 2000s

And if you feel like checking out more Wahammer 40k, if you haven't read any of Dan Abnett's work I strongly suggest that you check him out. My advice would be to start with the Eisenhorn trilogy.

Player is Mordred.

Next question

Why not just say "villain"?

>>47727782
Merlin has predicted a threat to the world that will happen in 2000 years time, and in typical wizard fashion has jealously hoarded all the contextual information necessary to understand the threat and acted in a decisive fashion, stealing a number of important artefacts and refusing to elaborate on why, before retreating to a well-guarded tower in the middle of the northern wastes to begin building an army of icewalkers.

He assures everybody that this is all a matter of necessity and that they shouldn't be concerned, but he seems very erratic of late.

>>47727598
Actually yes, they're called Squats

>>47727598
the slav marines are the Guard
they use shitty guns and shitty tactics against superior enemies
>You see Ivan if we blind enemy with flashlight, then they will never shoot the accurate at us

>>47727794
Is that why Russians won against krauts?

>>47727551
The Ousters were just super evolved humans, right? To the point where there were hardly humans, thus the transhumanistic themes of this book, so how would the IoM react?
I imagine they wouldn't hesitate to call them Xenos. How powerful is the shrike really?

>>47731015

It's a baby numidium that never turns off. Very bad.

>>47731015

The Ousters aren't exactly superevolved, it's more that they decided to genoform instead of terraform. It's not even accurate to say there is a unified Ousters, rather there are a bunch of different Ouster sub-species adapted to this, that, or the other environments they run into.

I imagine the IoM would call them some sort of chaos-tinged mutants and try to get rid of them, but again, given the tech disparity between Hyperion and 40k, I'm not sure how much they could do. Even if they somehow won battles, the Ousters can literally retreat into reaches of space that aren't within any star system, and I'm not sure the IoM would know how to follow them.

>How powerful is the shrike really?

It's not quite all powerful, but it's the next thing to it.

All the gods are trying to persuade the Homunculi to be their chosen god. They send them gifts, blessings and promise them paradise on earth.

The "Gods" are actually a system of computers hosted on the moon the humans left as a kind of morality test for the homunculi.

The computers aren't all smoke, mirrors and false promises though. They are actually tremendously powerful, able to control other human creations on the planet below and with a grasp on sorcery that is limited but still far exceeding anything most Homunculi are capable of.

>Why would you want to live a terrible, sad life if you could worship Slaanesh instead?

Being eternally eaten and murder-raped by a gigantic daemon made of pure madness and insanity isn't my idea of an afterlife.

3) Rapid Shot
5) Deadly Aim
7) Cluster shot

Shadowshooting. No need to gimp yourself with multiclass and extra feat tax.

Who?

The point of mass effect is that the council is a burocratic pile of shit that doesn't react to anything.

>>47725949
Then how would Specters react to it? They do stuff.

>>47725407
Pretty standart. No cringe shit, nothing outstanding or truly original.

>run of the mill and absolutely generic
>not basing their society on the mongols
Did you even try?

>>47725407
if you want my honest opnion then it sounds pretty generic

they also sound pretty boring to deal with in any tabletop RPG or strategy game setting if you condense them to what really matters

>they are violent and like to fight a lot
>they are good at fighting
>you won't see that many female orcs but they will also probably fight if they have to
>the really important orcs fight super hard

not really the most complex or imaginative thing around, and won't inspire any interesting interaction probably
