Hoo boy this sounds like a mess in the making. "Now, hold on, what do you mean by that? How'd she get the attention of Cooler?"

Chiaotzu lowers his head sadly, presenting you with a piece of what looks like paper. "This is being broadcast over several systems. People here just picked up on it. It's..."

"A wanted posted?" you ask aloud, looking it over. You can't quite read it, but it's exceptionally clear what it's stating. There's an image of Lazuli on it, mostly disguised with what seems to be some kind of face-concealing scarf and rather loose garments, but... there's this look of fire in her eyes. As if she'd seen deepest, darkest regions of the Demon Realm.

And resolved to not rest until she stopped it.

Gods, what's she been through? Chiaotzu looks up at you nervously. "They know what she looks like. We need to get to Brench soon."

>A. All right, let's get to the ship
>B. ...you know, she might be doing fine if she's lasted this long on her own, let's try to investigate this a bit first
>C. Something else?

Is this thing still going? I stopped reading when she ditched her cute green skirt and vest grab. Which was around page 20 I think.

It's got like a thousand pages or something. I stopped during the bear attack on the train.

What if the eldrazi are suppose to feed on dead planes and the three titans are part of a mutation that turned them into predators?

>>47581604
What if the planes they were visiting were SUPPOSED to already be dead planes. And something is interfering with the natural order?

>What are some introductory matchups that people like outside of the introbox mechs?
I'm a big fan of the Wolverine-6M against the Warhammer-6R. It's great for teaching the importance of heat management, and it's just generally a good, balanced fight

Are we allowed to use plot-armor piercing weaponry?

Rolled 3 (1d20)

>>47608355
Rolling to see if depends on setting

>>47608367
Of course not. Archer's charm is 55% plot armor. The other 45% is alchoholism

Ancient prophecy that most people have dismissed after thousands of years that winds up holding merit, a series of events that trigger world shattering earthquakes or meteors crashing from the heavens

Demon invasions, or any kind of "Third Party enters the setting and makes the conflicting factions team up to save the day"

"This is the way the world ends

I don't like the kind of apocalypse where everyone immediately becomes an asshole as soon as shit goes down.

What's happening with that anon coding a 3e version of the playable 2e tutorial?

Miracle Solar is cute. CUTE!

Will say, despite my pessimism about pretty much everything related to this booklet, that I really like this charm.

Armed and Ready Discipline
Cost: 3m
Mins: Resistance 2, Essence 1
Type: Reflexive
Keywords: None
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Whirlwind Armor-Donning Prana
On each round of donning armor with the prerequisite, the Lawgiver can attack without a flurry by doing a stunt in which she attacks while putting on a piece of armor. If she knows Call the Blade or Summoning the Loyal Steel, she may use either Charm reflexively for free while Armed and Ready Discipline is active.
On Armed and Ready Discipline
The backer wanted a Charm that would let him use Whirlwind Armor-Donning Prana and Summoning the Loyal Steel at the same time, and I thought “why stop there?” It was actually a tricky Charm to work out, since those other Charms are about as efficient as you can possibly get. In the end I decided to value-add this Charm by allowing you to arm yourself while attacking, punching through vambraces to snap them on, clapping on a breastplate while delivering a spinning slash, drop-kicking into your greaves, and so on.

Hunter set in 1980s Chile. We were a TFV offshoot aligned with the CIA helping the Pinochet government and secret police fight supernaturals aligned with the rebels and just generally interfering with the country.

pitch black was alright

>>47602221
This.
Silly movie that was better than bad (so exceeded expectations) but not quite good, followed by some awful movies and that one mediocre video game.

Mostly Diesel's vanity project, and it shows, and it's ugly. Not a good character by any measure.

>>47602195
An accurate depiction of your typical Drow PC.

A fun ride for the most part

>>47601520
Do it faggot.

Yes we are sick of it. Do Elder or Tau, we have not gotten anything fresh and new on those fronts in years. I would do it myself but it is past midnight where I am, so we would never get anything done under me.

Still a work in progress, but it's more updated than forwardkommander. Will be updated to mk3 pretty immediately after its release.

Pretty shit, they could have used an Arabian theme considering their history with automaton. As for Japanese Gothic horror, considering how they failed at japanese mythos they're likely to fuck that up too.

Shit. Son. You dun goofed.

>>47593444
Largely cuz it seems to be less actual japanese shit and more "wow, anime is cool"
You can tell because every fucking weeb whines about how guns were bad when japan fucking loved their guns.
Also, are those guys doing the olympic ball toss thing, but with grenades? That's p. cool.

Same reason Fedoras and trench coats are considered bad now. They're associated with shitheads even if the individual things aren't bad.

If you want to run a Not-Asian campaign go for it man. Nobody will care after you start rolling the dice.

The origins of that meme are obvious. They hardly need to be stated.

But, there's millions of elves, in thousands of types and subraces, in hundreds of different games and settings, so you are free to decide whether they are seen as arrogant or not, whether they actually are arrogant or not, and whether it really makes sense to ascribe that kind of personality trait to an entire race.

I tend to view it as a very case-by-case concept, where while elves that actually are arrogant bastards are relatively rare, there will always be those sorts of non-elven miscreants in-game who will project their insecurities as the elves thinking they are better than them, when it's really just themselves believing they are inferior to the elves.

It stems from different interpretations of elves. If we're going back to Tolkien as source material, the where the peoples of Middle Earth could be seen to represent different social classes in some interpretations, the elves would be representative of the nobility and royal classes. In that context, snobbiness makes a bit more sense. Elves do act with some snobbiness and tend not to keep themselves removed and distant from other peoples, living in beautifully tended places, much like royalty or nobility.

Consider Galadriel, who is often treated with as much reverence as The Queen of England, especially since Tolkien was British himself. Even the Mirkwood elves, who can be seen as more backwards and simple than others, make wine and sell it to support themselves, which is still seen as a luxurious and acceptable venture for nobility. So they tend to represent nobility whose estate has fallen into decline. The elves as a whole are departing from the world, symbolizing the diminishing importance of royalty as the modern age came into its own.

Anyway, it's theory and interpretation of the books, but the parallels make sense in the context of Tolkien, a British writer who had seen war and times of great societal change and wrote a fantasy epic. I mean, writers don't write in influential vacuums, and Tolkien could have easily taken from his own historical, societal, and personal experiences to pour into his writing. Given how much these books are adored, I'd say he had to.

Anyway, tl;dr elves might take influence from snooty nobility and that's why they're many times pricks.

It has been established that the standard heroes in Pathfinder are some of the most poorly built sons of bitches you could ever witness.

Attribute it to a combination of Paizo not knowing 3.5 and Paizo not knowing their own system.

People who complain about Pathfinder are like people dying of thirst in the desert who refuse to drink from an oasis right in front of them because water tastes "different" than the sand they've been eating for the last 3 days.

Seriously, play anything else. Even 5e is better than Pathfinder, and that's fukken DnD.

It's not just iconics, even. There is no iconic antipaladin, for example, yet there is one that always floats up and he is also sword and board.
It's okay, actually, it is not a matter of optimization - I always tend to go for aesthetics mainly. But it upsets me when every cover is basically a scam - you won't be slightly behind if you're trying to recreate those in your builds - you will have a really hard time playing.
I'm currently watching at "Armor Master's Handbook" and there is a TWF samurai on the cover - you probably know how it works on the table.
