What do you mean, Die Hard? Have you tried gurps?

>>47537365
GURPS is good for tacticool operators operating tacticoolly in a "realistic" setting, not so much anything outright cinematic or heroic with a good dose of magic, as much as the books try to say you can do exactly that.

Feng shui?

in one Comissar Cain book Orks had weirdboyz in warp waiting for imperial ships and pulled them out of warp.

>Is it possible for an outside influence to affect a ship in warp travel? Veering its path or outright pulling it out mid jump.

Yes.

Tzeentch told Magnus that he can destroy the Space Wolves ships or scatter them, if Magnus asked him to do it. Magnus refused Tzeentch's offer, unwisely.

Also it's speculated by the Eldar that Slaanesh protected and guided the Kraken splinter fleet while within the warp and then threw it out above Valdor.

>>47537012
I can imagine a way or two.

First, which is a bit of cheating: Vortex bombs. Muddles up realspace and warp locally.

Second: pull an Alderaan event and blow up a planet, with enough time to instill extreme emotions in every inhabitant and create a localized storm in the warp.

Both variants are pretty much shooting the blue, though.

>>47537061
Asking a warp god to do it for you is not quite in line with the spirit of the question, I fear, since it's a warp-born entity and not something from realspace.

We literally just had this thread yesterday.

Conan is the primary inspiration for Dungeons and Dragons.

Play Dungeon Crawl Classics, or if you don't want that, play any other good retro clone.

And for the love of fuck, don't play >>47535596

Modiphius makes awful, AWFUL games.

>Opinions without details!

If op wants to actually try something himself and not dismiss a well-reviewed rpg because of some faggot who's very fond of his own opinions he can always try the free quickstart preview version they released while it was in playtest.

D&D Next demonstrably changed from playtest feedback from version to version until it became 5e proper. Even now with Unearthed Arcana it changes regularly, such as prestige classes being dropped after one attempt, the first ranger attempt being scrapped, and the psionics playtest being updated to be more versatile. 5e is probably the most built-by-public-opinion tabletop RPG in existence.

Your problem is that you expect the majority of playtesters to agree with your point of view. They don't, so you decide to believe that the developers don't use any feedback. There's a name for that type of cognitive bias, probably.

Either cognitive dissonance or confirmation bias is the term you are looking for.

In any case, you're correct. Devs do playtest their games and use the feedback to change facetsof the games. The inherent problem with this process though is the play tester's own biases.

>>47534091
D&D 5e also killed martial dice and cool sorcerer abilities even when lots of people were clamoring for them.

I remember how badass the original trailer was when it first came out, and how good the second one was. The third trailer is garbage.

So the monolith one? WA didn't get a dedicated trailer.

>"What are you talking about," I say, pointing at her with my fork. "You're coming along too."
>"Eh?" Charlotte furrows her brow. "I don't want you to think that I'll die of loneliness if I'm away from you for a single day, Cecile."
>"I know that," I reply, "but I still want you around anyways. You're my sexy girlfriend and they're my awesome parents and I want everyone to get to know each other."

>It seems that that comment was enough to surpass my morning allotment for teasing, as Charlotte once again ignores me in favor of eating her food as fast as she can. And after she finishes, she hurries off to the bathroom to get bathed and all that. I guess I should do the same.


But before I do that, I should probably call home and tell them that I'm bringing Charlotte over. Even though I'm sure that nobody would really mind, it just seems like the polite thing to do.

And so, after a quick search, I locate my phone underneath some of the clothes that were strewn about in the bedroom and pull up my contact list.

Roleplay or other positive behavior can be encouraged with mechanical rewards, but maybe not XP, and certainly not a whole 20%.

>>47533074
20% no
but every time someone tries to rp their character you should keep track and give them bonuses, even if they roleplay badly or it leads to something bad happening

True or False: If a gm/dm makes the game so misrable that you have to min max to stand a chance of having fun, he should be removed from running.
