“My appearance disturbs you,” Nodens gurgles, bubbles of dark, brackish water forming at the corners of his mouth as he speaks, “You children. You have forgotten your gods – we are not all beautiful. What point is there in beauty, when time reduces you all to dust?”

That's... certainly an interesting perspective to take.

“It's the only perspective that matters,” the god grunts, “All history flows down to this pit, to me – I've seen it all. I know why you're here... Ira.” As the name leaves his lips – what passes for lips – Nodens convulses with a burst of wet coughing, which you soon realise is vile laughter. “Yes, I know you, Wanderer, and I know the path that has brought you here. You've taken noble Titanos' treasure, and now you scheme to take fair Selene's as well. Is it theft that brought you here, or were you simply seeking wisdom?”

If he's seen your path, you counter, then surely you don't need to answer that. Wouldn't he already know what brought you here, without you needing to tell him?

“Humour me,” Nodens almost smiles, the expression ghastly on his inhuman face, “We can talk as men, can we not? But I fear you will be disappointed – my lens was already stolen by another, long ago. It is... elsewhere, now. Come, let us discuss other things. That's why you're here, is it not?”

As you watch Nodens' puppet prowling across the surface of that infinitely deep pool, you find yourself wondering just how close to humanity his mind might be. When he has the entire length of history to consider, a single man is little more than a speck of dust – can you really deal with a being that thinks on that scale?

I'm pretty sure that's the point.

From the way they're talking about it, maybe Broken Blade won't be as much about unarmed at all?

Or maybe it'll be the Damage Unarmed, since FE is the Judo Throw Grapple Unarmed.

>>47417983
I'm not qualified to answer any of those, actually. Those two disciplines are ancient; they date back to when this was Libram of Battle. I know Chris had originally wanted four aligned disciplines and eventually the fluff for Crane and Seraph shifted towards angels & fiends in an effort for us to not have to do that because fuck no god why. Solar Wind I honestly don't have the tiniest clue.

You may wanna ask about Expanded disciplines.

No

40k won't end until GW gets to the point that progressing the plot is the ONLY way to keep them form dying, they'd probably sell the IP before then

>>47413852
There can be no happy ending for the Imperium, it ends as the Custodians fight to the last man defending the Imperial Palace after the entire Imperium has fallen apart, Another Empire comes to take its place, the time of men is over.

>What are goblins like in your setting? Free EXP? Proud warrior race guys?

Shortstack sex objects, of course.

>>47409942

A servitor race that went feral before being domesticated again.

They were originally created by humans, along with Elves and Orcs, to help bolster their numbers against the Dragons.

When it came time to abandon Earth the Colony ship that carried everyone crashed. The humans who were stored in stasis pods died and after several thousand years the Elves, Orcs, and goblins started forming their own civilizations along with the various other creaturs that inhabited the planet they crashed landed on.

While no one race was any better when it came to engineering, Goblins are near savant levels when it comes to it as their original purpose was to maintain the ship's systems crawling into spaces that fit their body sizes.

And while they had forgotten most of the original purpose of most technology they were able to pass on how to maintain it so they have advanced weapons as well, at least the ones that didn't turn into post apoc diesel bandits riding tricked out motorcycles and trucks.

Work in progress, but I think about making them the greenskin equivalent to our chimpanzees. So small creatures smarter than most animals, but still a kind of animal.

Depends on the character. A minimum I would like them to be born.

Okay /tg/. How do I run a game where all the players are sperm floating through a Fallopian tube questing for the holy egg?

>>47395852
>adventurers are charged to deliver a strange egg to a remote place and throw it in the great orb of fecundity
>it's actually tarrasque sperm and they are sent to inseminate a female egg

>>47391326
The only time I ever played a female character was in a PbP game I bailed out of pretty early. She was barely characterized. Sadly, because she was a female paladin and therefore waifu material

>>47391326
My barbarian man with tits; played her as any other character of mine, except her cut could deadlift a hundred pounds on its own.

If anyone questioned her personality, I just asked them why it was relevant to the game.

>>47391407
So zarya?

>>47385972
Your almost right...
Lunars existed to be the Solar's aid. The night caste started off (after the war) being the police force. Operating in secret to find, and eliminate hidden threats to the Government and to creation. The Lunar are known as the Stewarts of creation, their job is to aid the Solar law givers. So where the Solar might be the one who carries out the hit, the lunar was the one who brought to their attention that it needed to be done, and the evidence that it needed to be done.

That is the difference. The lunar is the solar's first confidant, their helper, their aid, their right hand. Not all lunar are sneaky types either. Some are the captains serving the Dawn Generals lending their might, or their wits (in the case of particularly obtuse solars) to them. Lunar aren't just meant to support the solar but they are creation's stewards. While the Solar are it's rulers.

> Solars' role was to be beacon of hope, rulers and leaders of men, had aura of nobility to rally people around them. Heroes of humanity. And Lunars were their opposites.

Nah. Some of the Solars had that, sure - the Zeniths - but others were puissant warriors, brilliant technologists, and negotiators and diplomats par excellence.

The Solar's role is to be human ability turned up to 11. They are the best at what they do - but what they do is limited to the arenas of human capability. They are the ultimate fighters, kings, priests, explorers, hunters, diplomats, courtesans, tinkerers, sorcerers, thieves and assassins. The way other splats compete with that is to have niches that go outside of human ability - elemental effects, shapeshifting, fate dickery, etc.

One of the problems with Lunars is that their role has either been poorly defined. They were supposed to be the Solar's mates: their complement, not their opposite (the opposite of Solars would be Abyssals).

In my head anyway, the complement is defined on an individual basis, rather than as between the splats as a whole. The Solar Fightin' Man would be mated with a Lunar socialite, to fill the gaps in his capabilities. The Solar God-King, all righteousness and purity, would have a Lunar who was willing to get their hands dirty. A Solar Sorcerer would have a Lunar bodyguard, to handle the physical threats that were outside his ambit.

That was their role in the First Age, anyway. Then the Solars went mad, abused their mates (and everyone else), and got locked away for millenia. In their absence, the Lunar's have had to determine their own purpose for being. That's ok though, as part of a Lunar's nature is adaptability. They used to adapt to the nature of their Solar mate, now they adapt to whichever task they set themselves too (in 1E that task was "smash stuff", in 2E it was "protect Creation", and in 3E it's yet to be really nailed down, but looks to be "break the realm")

Song of Swords, nigga.

>>47416771
RuneQuest 6 has outstanding combat and magic is designed to be modular.

The Burning Wheel is all about Middle Ages fantasy with good combat free of magic.

>>47416771
First off, what sort of game do you want? Gritty and realistic medieval combat where battlefield wounds can get infected? Cinematic chivalrous mounted knights lancing dragons? I'll toss out some suggestions anyway.

Despite being a meme response, GURPS actually does do low tech levels really well, and has fairly detailed rules for both individual and mass combat, and the Low Tech book and Companions have detailed information on medieval life and society.

If you want something more pulpy out of the box, you can use Fantasy Craft and just not use the magic systems, It's a toolkit like GURPS, so it's designed with customization in mind.

Evil will triumph because Good is dumb.

>>47415373
This is just my opinion, so bare with me:

But I think it's because these GMs hate killing their players and as such are afraid of making it too challenging. Which is still pretty stupid.

>>47415373

Because wizards and druids are overpowered cunts that bend reality so they always win.

Also, why is that Touhou just letting someone stack biscuits on her nose like that? She is clearly not amused, but she just stands there and takes it.

Because there aren't official rules for it and gestalt only works "well" in 3.5e because it makes the inherently over-the-top dumb bullshit in that system and makes it even more dumb and over-the-top.

It's not really necessary.

Since low level spells/abilities scale up or otherwise remain relevant as you level up, it's much easier to multiclass and still feel like you're getting a fair amount from both classes.

>>47407545
The same rules apply, in fact it would be even simpler in 5e.

Nearly every character model from 3rd edition could use a retooling to fit in with the 5th edition aesthetic.

>>47400095
IMO the Chaos Space Marines are OK, just that their legs are pretty shitty. The torsos and helmets are great though.

>>47400031

They do the job. Tbh Sisters need the rework a lot more.

No.

Nah but fuck him hes dead

>>47394366
He would totally be proud of me
>>47394395
oh... wait yeah... nevermind

There's only one god. And usually just figuratively.
When I say usually I mean there was like one exception past 2 millennia.

It's alleged to have happened, but it's a lot easier to find someone who claims their family is descended from gods than someone who's prepared to say a god snuck into their bedchamber.
