Becuase the only part that could seriously make for a fun adventure that could be taken semi-seriously and not devolve into memes, is Puss in Boots.

When you spout off enough memes and play a bunch of non-human weirdos you basically have it anyway

Divine smiths who created great cities and other masonry, but then retreated when men came along.

Since there's so little modern baggage they're basically a free space.

I usually run them as mysterious and rare illusionists, each one has a unique skin colour and they have a hypnotic eye.

Not giants, but psychic aliens with ridiculously long tongues and cute little hip/shoulder ridges.

Did they get hit by a car on the way to the game?

I think you should leave that job to a doctor.

>>54826641
where you the GM?
if so they were supposed to hear and obey you, otherwise you have no voice nor opinion where the GM is leading.

I think the point of the thread is for the "I told you so" moments as a player.

> "Hey guys, maybe we shouldn't try snooping around this goblinoid fortress looking for a single prisoner and a map".
> they all look at me skeptically.
> "Look, i'm the thief, and i'm telling you this is a bad idea. We should think about our options".
> Players start going full fucking munchkin mode on me and tell me to play my class.
> Level 7 assassin pure class.
> herewego.jpg.
> successfully sneak into the fortress past two guards.
> find the prisoner. make sure he's safe before trying to get back out. Try to get information out of him about the map but he knows nothing. Am left with the choice to leave him behind or bring him with me.
> "I'll come back for you" lie.
> Go to leave.
> Oh shit the DM just dropped a fucking challenge 6 hobgoblin warlord. apparently with a magic helmet that breaks sneak and sees through illusions.
> realize this group doesn't want me to play with them anymore.
> say fuck it and kill the warchief and posthumously level up my character.

Cunts.

>Also what happened to his skull?

Horus used it as paperweight, presumably it still is aboard the Vengeful Spirit unless someone stole it.

Ferrus would be disgusted but ultimately he is not one to give in to feelings so he would just go out into the galaxy and skull-fuck xenos into extinction.

>>54826576
The current state of the Imperium is a lot like Ferrus. In that they both can be described as running about like a headless chicken

>>54826576
He's one of the primarchs that truly didn't give a shit and was just doing as his father taught him. Which is why he had to die.

Arrrgh, way to make me feel down. This is my entire life.

>TFW you spent the past 15 years playing RPGs when you should have been reading high literature. As a result, your prose is completely plain-speech with no poetry or allegory whatsoever, and your mind is so governed by cliches that you are completely incapable of originality anymore.

Request: anything modern. I haven't seen anything like that around here in forever.

>>54826460
What kind of modern? 80's modern, Drenched in the 90's with my Pawg collection modern? Early 2000's modern, or 2017 "Why the fuck do we have an Emoji movie" modern?

>>54826694
No time like the present. Though we can leave out emojis.

>>54825585
I haven't been involved since the second thread. What major additions have been made in the weekend discussions? I'd check the Google doc, but my phone doesn't like it for some reason.

A brief recap of history

>Once upon a time, there were eight Bright Nobles who joined forces to fight against the Abstracts, the gods of the world.
>In their efforts to win the War Against The Abstracts, and claim the world for humanity (or perhaps just themselves), they summoned The Black Sun, a malevolent force that quickly replaced the actual sun, and bathed the world in corruptive rays, turning it into a nightmarish hellscape.
>The Nobles were transformed into the Eight Dark Lords, and as the deadly forces of Black Sun made quick work of the Abstracts, the Dark Lords set out to conquer and divide the world.
>The Dark Lords were soon given monickers to better associate them with what forces they specialized in or studied.
>The Lord of Plants
>The Lord of Vermin
>The Lord of Fire
>The Lord of Mountains
>The Lord of Hounds
>The Lord of Cities
>The Lord of Black Waters
>The Lord of Stars
>Hundreds of years have passed, and now these Lords rule over the lands with iron fists, as the Black Sun's rays mutate and corrupt those who do not either submit to a Lord's rule and become branded, or stay hidden in places where the Black Sun cannot reach them.
>But not all hope is lost, as the powers of the Abstracts still exist in one form or another to stand against the Dark Lords
>Rebellions and resistants groups work in the shadows tirelessly to regain their freedoms.
>Powerful, mysterious forces are rumored to be battling against the Black Sun as well.
>A machine deep in the earth meant to create a new, pure sun.
>The moon somehow unable to be consumed while other celestial bodies are destroyed.
>Only time will tell if the Black Sun will consume and control all, or if mankind will prevail.

>>54825800
Most of the focus past the first few threads became detailing specific landmarks that can be found in the changing world, different smaller factions and subfactions that make up the rebel and lords' armadas, and, most interesting enough, stories of individuals within the setting.

In short, nothing too major, just fleshing out further details and fluffing up things.

Though the Moon has become a larger force of discussion. Just as the Dawn Machine acts as a potential threat to the Black Sun (with dubious methods and fanatical worshipers, but still), the moon not only weakens the Black Sun and its followers whenever there's an eclipse, but drives them to outright pain and madness whenever there is a rare Blood Moon, rumored to be made when an Abstract truly dies. The Moon also seems to be untouchable from the Black Sun's corruption.

I'm sure there's other things I can't remember off the top of my head, so still make sure to check out the google doc when you can and whatever threads haven't 404'd if they're still around.

Read up on Thay.

I unironicly love whoever did the art for revised era oWoD. Some of the reused 1 / 2e stuff was shit but books like Guide to the Anarchs had some good stuff

>>54824088
There's a lot of good art. The weird part is that it's mostly in the Vampire books.

>>54823311
It's a good start, but get rid of those too and we'll be talking.

I don't see why more harpies don't just pick someone up, fly really high, and then drop them on their heads.

You aren't really talking about anything we haven't explored before.

It's not a matter of where she grips it, it's a matter of weight ratios.

A notice, pinned to the board of a Inn near the most southern fringe of the Viking's Territory.

>A Warning to All Northbound Men!

Duluth = Dyewlutte

Minneapolis = Minæþulis

Milwaukee = Milwækæ

Marquette = Murkiþ

I'm just here to rep MN, but there's also massive refugee populations from Somalia and SE Asia in the twin cities too.

>>54823284
Nukes from the apocalypse'll clear that out.

Basically, the United States is slowly repopulated by folks who lived out in the most rural areas.
