I don't see why they don't have that capability. Are they pre-neolithic in your setting?

I'm with you, OP. Also, another weird setting detail I've seen, how can something that lives for 80+ years not die well before 40 in a setting where everyone drinks water that's carried through lead pipes?

"This is one of those things you should just accept as fact and move on about, k?"

really tho elves are cowards (mostly) so they've probably been hiding a bunch or w/e

Me and some friends are starting up some "home made" Journeyman game when mk3 hits the shelves.
Mostly for shits and giggles, we all start with one of the new boxes and work ourselves from that point, escalating the games every week. Painting benefits from bonus points and so forth.

Question, how would you go about it. Take a box from a team you already own (as I own a lot.... ) and ad shit you have owned already when escalating. Or just fucking go for it, take something you think looks cool, and roll with it?

Anyone got a link to the spoiler dump?

>>47438783
do you want to play a new faction?
pick one. if not;
then get the box you already own a bunch of, i guess picking the one you like most if you have lots of armies.

but that's kinda stank.
if you have a fully painted army, and want bonus points for painting you can dedicate more time to the model or three and therefore get a better paint job than some player who is trying to paint thirty models in the same time.

but its a game. pick whatever you want.

No experience but wanted to give a bump as reading the thread is helpful
I'm just starting out with Gurps and was planning to run a cyberpunk campaign

I'm reading through the rules now and am starting to pick out ones I don't want to bother with. I'm getting the feeling like combat is going to be a bit lethal and crunchy, which I think is good for the style
I might opt for a bit more of a cinematic approach though and ease some mechanics in as the group gets accustomed

Going easy is the way to start. Don't worry if you don't get all the rules right and don't feel bad if you set things to simple mode and don't break out optional rules.

Combat's pretty lethal. There are many attacks that can kill someone in one heat.

Cyberpunk's fun stuff. A bit complex though, with hacking and cybernetics rules.

>>47428011
Yeah that's what I'm starting to notice as well

I'm reading the core rules still so I've yet to move onto UltraTech/Cyberpunk issue of Pyramid, but I'm hoping I can make hacking/netrunning work in combat. I know in Shadowrun Deckers are able to override security, shut down or control enemy turrets etc.
I just want to avoid one member needing to take a back seat during play. If that proves to be too difficult, I might just encourage them to pick up a couple firearms skills as well.
We'll see I guess

Sorin maybe you shouldn't be taking advice from /tg/ about raising your daughter.

Egad! An artist that actually understands how breasts deform when a person is lying supine.
And her, admittedly limited, clothing is properly interacting with her breasts.

I'm honestly impressed.
Though how she found a comfortable position with wings is another matter.

Playing a Barbarian whose moveset was limited to "charge at that guy" and "axe people some questions" and being infinitely more effective than an overly pompous but very, very bad Wizard.

I've played Fighters that were better faces then the parties bard.

I've played mortals that kicked WoD werewolves in the dick and walk away unscathed.

I've played barbarians that out magicked the Wizard BBEG thanks to wands, scrolls, staves and helpings of UMD.

I've ran from one end of the Tomb of Horrors to the other, with out failing a single skill check, after getting teleported stark naked to the beginning.

I've hand a few times.

Anyone running a SR game that could use one more?

Been itching for an SR game the last week.

I'm in GTM-6 (MST for Americans).

You deserve to be alone until you make some friends.

>>47447182
That made absolutely no sense.

Is there any errata saying a Battlemaster can use his superiority dice when punching someone?

Any advice for a first time DM starting Princes of the Apocalypse?

>>47437229
Read the module thoroughly. PotA is fairly open-ended and you'll want to be able to anticipate what's to come based on whatever the party decides to do.

>>47432623
Why shouldn't they be?

>>47432623
Because shape-shifting into animals is cool. Why are monks, barbarians, and all other non-casting melee fighters not the same class yet?

>>47416040

Rape them.

>>47416090
Scare, not scar.

>>47416199
Rape their parents

Bob!

One looks like a wall made of organic stuff and the other looks like a crypt?

Less words on the newer one because a lot of them are implied instead of explicitly stated (ex:interrupt).

>>47407841

One of the few positive changes.

>>47398459
No, it won't restore it.

GW has decided to shit on your fat neckbeard feelings and aim for the dosh of young teens and their unwitting parents.

>>47398551
All the young teens I know are far more interested in 40k

Not sure why GW thought the he-man aesthetic would appeal to...any demographic.

>>47398459
nah it won't help the tabletop game at all. it will just create an interest in warhammer themed video games.

This is going to tire you out a bit, but it's worth it if it means getting the Dragonballs from this nitwit.

"Ka....me...." you start, cupping your hands and holding them toward the wall.

"You say something, kid?" Pilaf asks from the other side.

"Ha....me....." you continue, bringing your hands to your side.

"What was that?" he asks. "You're going to have to speak up."

"HA!"

Your blast strikes the wall and causes it to crumble, revealing a confused and dizzy looking Emperor Pilaf sitting with bricks in his lap.

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" he asks.

>A. Ask where he took the Dragonballs

>B. Demand he give you back the Dragonballs

>C. Wait for Goku and the others to catch up

>D. Something else

WHICH IS THE BETTER SKINWALKER FOR MARTIALING HARD, CROC OR SHARK?

So since I got brought up last thread, I might as well repost something I tossed out to get opinions on a month or so ago... But got no feedback on. So fuck me up and rip it apart.

An attempt to make an alternative to the Promethean Alchemist's Homunculus:
http://pastebin.com/B3twtU4V

>"but prometheanfag, this is WAY better/worse than what the archetype normally gets! It also may or may not be utterly pointless!"
That's because I am bad at this, and have no idea what I'm doing. I just like the idea of homebrewing, so I throw things at the wall and see if anything sticks.

>>47443073
Shark, since Croc will hurt your Will Saves. Personally, I prefer Wolf
