rude

UPDATE: In an attempt to make the game both lore friendly and allow access to free players the EC dev team are going to allow th Ork Factions free to play, pretty fucking legit in my opinion. Now all they have to do now is make the Imperial Guard playable as a subfaction for the Imperium, Heretics for Chaos and well... Fuck the Eldar.

Free 2 Waaagh is going to be a post-launch feature that won't be available for several months after release and Imperial Guard are said to be very unlikely by the devs since it would either imbalance the Imperium if it was a player option or restrict the number of players in a given fight if it was an AI option.

>>47706065
that's
...actually not a bad idea.
Good luck picking a system to work in, tho.

>>47706065
>/tg/ could make entire adventure books that are on par with anything the professionals make.

The problem is that getting an entire group of anonymous people to work together isn't as easy as it sounds. It either gets into carebear territory where every idea is a good idea or the project has to be so strictly controlled that it never goes anywhere.

>>47706162
You don't need a system for a dungeon.

You need a history/purpose, general layout, the challenges and the possible treasure within.

That's it. If anything, fitting it to a system only detracts from the verisimilitude.

>>47705931
If you just want to play, wait for a game finder thread on here. Or go to a local club/society etc.

>>47705954
I want to try PbP.

>>47705931
>Haha, tough luck, all your work is wasted.
>Oh, what's that, you spent a lot of time making a sheet? That's wasted too.
Yeah, thats what you get a binder of characters for.
Then you shotgun them everywhere for random chance of getting accepted.

Not /tg/ but the game Star Citizen gives me this sort of vibe. Most of the ships give off an industrial vibe with minimal super sleek stuff, with the weird limitations like how all combat is like world war two style aircraft combat rather than the more realistic 'i tell my targeting computer to fire at the dot 1AU away' which is then obliterated a second later, and lore dictates no AI which means you have a bunch of credit running around on large ships turning valves and firing out of bubble style turrets.

>>47708427
Credit = crew

I just want to say, thank you for not attaching the word "-punk" to any of those things.

Are daemons all dicks with no external attachments to entities besides themselves? Or can they form bonds and attachments to others within the confines of their existence as an emotional spectrum?

one school of thought holds that such creatures are incapable of free will and simply embody elemental evil in various manners according to their diverse forms

another school romantically imagines that the appearance of personhood implies personhood

so of course those demons which prey on romantic souls have evolved to mimic people

Whats the end goal for daemons? You have some scheming to enter the materium, by possessing anyone who listens to their whispers and building elaborate cults to create demonic engines for them to engines for them to inhabit and walk in the materium. Then you have others who want nothing but to flee back to the immaterium and are bound in fleshy host and tortured by being caged in devices to keep them material. Is it a grass greener thing?

To clarify: First time with Torchbearer, not first time as a GM.

why torchbearer?

>>47705027

I enjoyed playing DnD but it was a bit rigid and sometimes felt too much like its mechanics worked parallel to the narrative, rather than woven through it.

I enjoyed playing FATE games but it felt like it relied too much on the players negotiating with the GM instead of doing what came naturally, and its challenges felt unsatisfying to "solve" because the system is built to have few limits, to always say "yes," even if it's a qualified yes.

I enjoyed Descent but didn't want to roleplay in it; it's clearly there solely to provide the kind of tactical challenge lacking in FATE, and to do nothing else.

I've wanted to run a gritty game that recognizes the reality that in most settings, adventuring is dangerous work for desperate people, which is what Torchbearer is made for, and it seems like it might also be the happy middle ground between the other three I mentioned.

I might name a Chapter the Crusty Burn Victims, but I would rather not try to paint it.

armywise I doubt that there is any imp. or chaos forces that employ only plasma, mostly because fluff states what plas is available is hard to construct thus you can only get like 1 plasma gun and 1 plas cannon in a 10 man squad. DA got more plas. with with ravenguard bikers using twin-linked plas. instead of bolters on bikes.

You can fall either way.

If your DM is shit then yes. He'll probably make it happen anyway.

>>47704043
sometimes the hardest thing for a paladin to do is to do nothing. sometimes that is what is needed to preserve the peace.

>>47703564

Have you tried talking to your group, and getting everyone to talk to the dm about removing the dmpc?

Maybe even switching up who the dm is sometimes because dmpcs are mostly dms wanting to play for once.

Failing that, sounds like you're in some sort of 3pf hellhole, so just get the wizard to do it.

>>47703696
This is a group of new players and the DMPC is at this point a plot device/side quest. The cleric has been transferred from one diety to another (the DMPC's diety, who also hates the character) and tasked with finding a way to deal with him.

>>47703564
If the DM is that DM enough, you will fail
do not harbor any illusions that you can wrest away control from God.
