Just try another system. Pathfinder (if you're using all the material anyway) at this point is one of the most bloated and complicated systems out there. I promise if you switch to something lighter you will enjoy running games for your group again. I don't know how rules-light you would be comfortable with, but Savage Worlds, FATE, a few others are good options. GURPS is technically simple, but mostly just in terms of mechanics. It's got an assload of material just like Pathfinder.

WHFRP 2e sounds like just the ticket for you, though magic is straight up dangerous there, so perhaps not. If you absolutely must have d20 and OGL material, just use Fantasy Craft and heavily restrict access to overtly magical things. I'd advocate banning the mage and maybe priest, if only for the first part of the game.

Just don't let the spirit in you die out OP. It's a tough flame to kindle, and you should keep it burning at all costs.

>>47689190
How about using D&D 5e and just cutting out the magic? I heard it's quite simplified.

>>47689073
Pretty much do this, OP >>47689208. 5e is nothing like the nightmare that is Pathfinder.

Just one

>>47688745
I suggest looking at Tiberian wars, Fallout and Mad Max as inspiration, maybe even STALKER

>>47688745
Maybe this can help you OP?

Look out for land sharks that might emerge suddenly from the fertile ground.

Starting off the thread with a pic of the Stormsword I'm working on. So many little bits to get into the tracks and I immediately see more after the pic is taken.

Got some of the footsloggers done, also finished the bottom half of the Dunecrawler (pic in a moment)

And my pet terror drone the Dunecrawler legs.

Playing online with random strangers is a terrible idea.

Roll20 is literally where people go when they can't get a group ANYWHERE else... and there's usually a reason for it.

Your experiences on Roll20 will be one of the following.

>Your group is 99% That Guys or Magical Realmers
>The game is basically a direct rip of an anime or videogame with Mary Sue original characters added
>You get a "good" group (you just haven't been playing long enough to see how bad they are yet) and the GM disappears after like 2 sessions.

>>47687619
Make sure you recruit from somewhere else and roll20 is a fantastic place. Javascript's have been my lord and savior as a GM.

Just get your players from elsewhere and you'll be fine.

Bump of mild interest

I played a short campaign where our party accicently signed a contract with a demon to free him from his containment.
The method for this was destroying some stone monolith located in some ancient ruins, which were now used as a bandit-hideout.

The GM later told us it was intended as a sneaking-mission and a confrontation with the demon.
We told the bandits we were treasure hunters/archaeologists and had reliable information about some artifact in the ruins.
After negotiating a split that was profitable for both parties, they allowed us in under heavy supervision.

We found said monolith shortly thereafter and freed the demon.
Turned out he was much stronger than expected - an arch-demon rivaling the powers of the gods of the setting.
As he was still bound by the contract, this played into our hands:
We wished for him to turn back time to before we even formed the contract.

We didn't roll for stealth or combat the entire session, and a lot of fun was had.

The question seems pretty vague, so I hope I'm not getting the wrong impression of what you're asking here. I don't really see how that couldn't be the case if you've been playing RPGs for long enough. It would take some seriously dedicated railroading or un-dedicated players to never have something important negated by saying the right word, bringing the right item, setting the coal mine on fire, etc

I have played with GMs that utterly hate the idea ("Oh you prepared for that? It doesn't work"), and I've also played with players that try to do that sort of thing the wrong way (like bringing a giant literal powder keg with them into a dangerous area and whining when things go wrong). I would describe both as bad

They had a unique type of plasma tek that hasn't been seen since.

Which is strange as i thought all ork mek boys remember what others built.

>>47688600
It could be that the mekboy thought so far out of the box that the plasma idea couldn't be comprehended by others. Orks have a mental kinship but they aren't exactly a hive mind. That's my guess anyway.

>>47688600
A plasma powered by the WAAAGH!!!? A sort of plasmork?

I ordered the advanced version myself. I'm also currently stalking for a Mordheim rulebook. I'm planning on combining these with a Frostgrave rulebook to help design a skirmish campaign for me and my friends, using a combination of rules, tables, and inspirations to make something neat, as well as using them as design touchstones and inspiration to build a dedicated campaign system with a whole lot of fun but needless complexity behind it, even the game itself is fairly simple and straightforward.

>>47687163
That sounds fun. I have frostgrave too. I could easily see using this as the core game system with the easy warband creation and rules, and use all those delicious loot tables in frostgrave to make a better campaign experience.

>>47686312
Which edition did you grab?
If yu like it, the expansions or additional homebrew become something to look into quickly. The game is fun but leaves you wanting just a little bit more.

>>47686307
fuck you, that's not cool

>>47686307
Fuck you, asshole. That's an awful story.

>>47686532
I don't get it.

>>47686021
Yes. Report to the nearest servitor convertion point immediately.

It is generally ill-advised to put your dick in anything with powerful, complex moving parts.

>>47686173
But what if your dick is a powerful and complex moving part too?

The flesh is weak.

You can't it's a terrible idea that only seems good because you clearly don't know much about chemistry.

>>47685889
>Control over all chemical reactions
>More balanced so he doesn't obliterate players

Please refer to >>47686038
But really, do you know just how many chemical reactions are going on in your body right now to keep you alive? Now give a outside entity the ability to fuck around with those reactions in any way he wants. Sorry OP, but this idea just wont do

Any time he does anything involving a reaction, he has to pay royalties to the Fine Bros.

>>47685687
A rock?
Sorry, don't know what that is.

The game's newest expansion pack features the only set to not have a sexual theme at all. The theme of the set is furniture, from fridges to couches.

Weather will be an effect that changes every turn, but players can respond and affect it.

I think you're talking about 100% efficient fission. If that's the case, I think it's just E=MC^2 where M is the mass of your fissionables.

Not unless you use it for intimidation.
Nothing makes a empire shit it's pants like knowing you can make things go NUCLEAR

>The only version of it I can find on the internet has all the characters talking like they just had a stroke.

That's what directly translated Japanese sounds like, anon.

>>47685257

Sadly the scanlation scene is plagued by horrible translations, and what makes it worse is a culture where scanlation groups don't want to tread on one another's toes. So, unlike in anime fansubs, if one group is actively working on something then the other groups usually leave it alone.
