General Malhus, along with the elite 1st Army is standing at the edge of the Complex, having broken through the automatons' defence lines.
He personally commands 80 000 of our best men, with 700 tanks, 1400 combat vehicles and 300 helicopters.
What orders will we give the General?
A.Pull back for now and rejoin the rest of the forces - his position is vulnerable and is at risk of getting cut off
B.Hold his position until further reinforcements arrive
C.Enter the complex


Current military equipment is roughly at late Vietnam War-levels against an advanced enemy that uses robot armies

i'm here
>C.Enter the complex
Malhus is a trusted general, he'll surely bring favorable results.
and 700 tanks isn't a small force

Roll dice into a tray, use a dice tower, use that cup, it doesn't matter. It's personal flair and anybody giving you weird looks will stop when they roll a die underneath the sofa across the room

d10 dice pools

"THE" d20 System is a plain shitty and obsolescent system.

Other than that: There are a lot of ways to make resolution mechanics with D20 and D100 and the D20 can often be functionally identical to the D100.
Frankly, unless you really really really need to use lots of %-Tables with <5% entries, there's no point in using a D100 over a D20. DMs rarely use any steps smaller than 5%, so you might as well shorten the process.

MY NIGGA

Back in highschool I played D&D a few times with this goth chick who only ever played elf druids or elf rangers, and always had a wolf animal companion. She was pretty bad at roleplaying but wasn't disruptive, just bland, and always played the exact same character.

Out of the game she was tiresome to hang out with because she was a lazy environmentalist -- she'd talk for hours about how important the environment is and how it's bad to litter and how we shouldn't walk on the grass, but then she'd go home and play PS2 games for six hours straight and eat a bag of chips.

I fucked her much hotter cousin who was also a better roleplayer.

I'm gunna need you to be a bit more clear with that question...

Is the person in question trying hard to be goth?

Is the person in question trying hard to RP as a goth?

Is the person in question a goth who is a try hard when it comes to RP?

Do their aesthetic preferences really even relate to how well they do in a game?

>>47669996
I have a goth as one of my regulars, she plays dread necromancers, warlocks, vampires, Abyssals, the kind of shit you'd expect, and she can get a little moody and can have a short fuse sometimes, but when it's her night for snacks she shows up with like 3 pizzas, or something she baked herself. She makes sure to get the kinds of soda everyone likes, she's always 100% involved in the game, and doesn't mind people staring at her cleavage, which is ALWAYS on display.

Tell me about your vilest act of betrayal, Jumpers. Who or what did you break faith with, and for what price?

Was it worth it?

So, whose side are you on?

>>47717671
Sides? They're both pretty dumb and dogmatic, aren't they? Nah, I'm...going to be the equivalent of whatever a Rogue Trader is in Star Wars. So, Han before meeting the gang basically?

I don't watch a lot of star wars.

Seconding the request for spiritual/magical robots. I'm about to start a campaign based on the world of Hyper Light Drifter sort of mashed up with Journey (the game, not the band), some Nausicaa, all that good stuff.

Anything science-fantasy would be great.

I posted it again!!!1!1!! LOL

>>47717098
I never posted this thread before.

>Why.

Because Fighters are people who have trained their minds and bodies to stand the rigors of combat and are thus able to carry the burden of armor while still being effective at swinging pointy/stabby/clubby objects.

Wizards are people who have trained their minds and bodies to channel the primordial forces of the universe and manifest it as a means to break the laws of physics.

It's too silly/magical/andworstofallsteampunkish for me.

I honestly love it.

Run a half dozen campaigns in it, all with different big events that never cross and completely separate from the others.

I never got why people like>>47717054 saw it as steam punk as it has next to no steam punk in lore and lets you make up what the tech looks like.

What do you usually focus on during campaigns op? I never did anything with the war besides backdrop for the campaign, usually focusing on dungeon delving and exploring.

>>47717027
They're short sighted.

Some people don't WANT PCs to have magic, and act like it's some travesty for people to expect it.

I dunno why.


Also, Eberron thread?

inb4 CSM are bad

>>47717013
If you want honest, legit advice, here you go.

Dark Apostles aren't that great. You're honestly better off with a Chaos lord, and if you're going to give him a mark of khorne you want an Axe of Blind Fury.

Plasma Pistols are expensive and not worth the points. Just drop them.

I'd probably put Dirge Casters on the Rhinos instead of Havoc launchers.

Predators, I find are best as Annihilators; heavy bolter sponsons and the TL autocannon. Punishes light armour, mows through infantry as well.

The main issue you're going to have is you're slogging 15 CSM across the field, who aren't fast and aren't more durable than normal marines. One Battle Cannon will remove half that squad in an instant. The tactic just isn't that viable.

You've got a decent mix of anti armour, but your army doesn't have any actual punch, or any decent range for that matter.

My 2 cents.

>>47717106
>slogging

He's got Rhinos.

>>47716933

Nope. Only the clashing of egos and hurting of feelings.

Yeah, but it didn't work out.
I wanted one chick but I wasn't sure if she was into me yet (she was).
So I dated another one, took her virginity, then broke up when we found out she had some serious issues. Like compulsively puking a few hours after sex.

Anyway then I dated the other one but I was kind of an asshole moving too fast and she had a lot going on in her life so she broke it off.
Still, got dat virginity too. feels good.

Yeah, but she's asian not black.
I don't think black girls are into tabletop.
