In a fantasy setting, what are some races that would serve as an interesting long term ally for humans rather then the standard Dwarf, Elf combo?
I was trying to figure out a way to work harpies in as a somewhat normal ally for the humans, but the only way I managed to push em in was by dumbing em down to an almost animal level and having them serve as scouts and messengers to what are basically falconers
So if you do know of some races that could, it'd be nice to see how they'd work with humans in the case of being allies or long time racial "friends"

It could simply be that harpies trade their mobility for roosting in human's towers and even homes for the winter. Harpies could be nomadic flocks that have traditional alliances and grudges with various human factions. Controlling or eradicating groups of them would be critical for wars, and they could be dwindling in numbers but too far removed from their old ways to stop relying on humans.

Yo I wanna fuck that bird.

>>54804586
Never actually thought to make them nomadic, though I guess the whole flying south for the winter thing can tie into that pretty well
I can imagine the humans trying to build better harpy accommodations in an attempt to woo them to their side, a sort of ally cold war between the northern n southern kingdoms

You are at your current location, with the stuff you have at hand atm.
A Zombie pandemic starts and you have to survive. Lets say the epicenter of the infection is the next big town (100k and up) and from there it spreads and spreads.
What kind of campaign would unfold?
Would you survive? How long?
>options:
>harder:
>sprinters:
Fast and with decent reactions. Like in the Dawn of the Dead remake.
>ineffective police and military reaction:
The security forces fuck it up. Their reaction either doesn't help or even makes it worse.
>wise ones:
Some Zombies are smart. They can use basic tools and understand shit like doors or how pack hunting works. (super hard: All Zombies are this smart).
>Einsteins: All Zombies maintain their full intelligence. Have fun...
>easier:
>helpful Police and military:
They actually get shit done.

The military/UN/another Nation helps with airdrops etc.

If zombies are just people infected with rabbies, all you need to do is survive for a week before zombies start dying from dehydration
>>
gg easy. I am currently armed and in a nuclear bunker with 6 months of food.

>>54800445
My campaign:
I am at my families vacation house in France. Its in a pinewood and part of a larger fenced off holiday resort. I don't speak french so i would probably band together with other tourists, raiding nearby villages and defending the resort.
>rage zombies:
Yeah the fence won't stop them... I would probably try to find a boat and raid the coast.
>wise ones:
Would be nasty because most Zombies would be stopped by the fence. The wise ones could infiltrate the resort though...
>Einsteins:
Puuh. That would turn the resort into a slaughterhouse REALLY quick. The roads would be blocked by cars and the Zs would guard the beach paths. I could see vicious fighting with knives and camping supplies.
>>54800494
Well lets suppose its not just rabbies but undead zombieism...
And even if its rabies, try surviving a month (remember not all people are infected from day one) in a World with a collapsing society and rampaging infected.

Delve is a pretty stupid mechanic because it essentially amounts to fast mana. Modern shouldn't be a format with fast mana.

yeah and that's why the strong delve spells are banned, even in legacy and vintage. But even cheap creatures are easily dealt with by cheap removal.

This site has pdfs for all five editions, as well as a slew of other materials: http://talislanta.com/

I'm just starting out, been reading the core rulebook over the course of the last few nights. How important is it to have multiple fake SINs and other such identifiers? Also, if I use priority gen and make a mage, is it pretty much impossible to be effective with only a D in magic? I was looking for someone who -could- use magic, but was much better at normal, physical combat and skills (Perhaps someone who awakened late in life and doesn't really have a grasp on magic beyond a few basic things).
Also, what advantages do aspected magicians have over true mages? I haven't quite got to the magic section yet, but are they worth creating at all?

Do you guys make your own custom Space Marine chapters? I want to hear about them.
I'm a big fan of 40k, but not so much the crunch side because I can't afford the hobby (I do watch some games as a spectator now and then). The fluff, writing and opportunity for text role-playing is what fascinates me and I've been wondering about making my own custom Space Marine chapter.
Is there a resource or skeleton you guys use to create them? I'd love to see some examples!

You can use one of the rolling tables found online to stat out homeworld, hated foe, etc.
I go with established chapters then make up biographies from there based on who keeps jobbing and who acts heroically
>>
>>54762582
Google 1d4chan space marine tables. Back in 4th Ed you could custom make your own chapter, there were rules for it. Those days are gone sadly but the spirit lives on in these charts /the/ made based on them. It's pure fluff now no Homebrew. But that's fine.

Check out the Bolter and Chainsword.
It has a subforum dedicated solely to custom chapters and the writing thereof.
There are a series of articles of dos and don'ts, a collection of relevant information like founding dates, list of successor chapters etc too.
They'll help you to write an Index Astartes Article in the same vein as they used to be published in White Dwarf.
>pdf related.
You can use an outline, or 'skeleton' like this article as inspiration for writing your own.
Homeworld, Chapter origins, doctrine, preferred ways to wage war and Chapter customs and folklore or genetic quirks and their relation to other Chapters or the rest of the Imperium is always good.

"Autosage Imminent" Edition
For all your questions on Dark Heresy (1st and 2nd Editions), Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War.
Not the wargame, not Chapter Master, not Space Hulk. Inquisitor is okay, but not many people know about it.
Not sure between starting Dark Heresy 1e and 2e? Pick 2e.
>Why did FFG lose the 40k RPG License?
Because they were bought by Asmodee and that caused some sort of licensing conflict.
>Will GW make their own 40k RPGs now?
Probably not. But if they do it will likely be worse than you could possibly imagine.
Book Repositories (If you're planning to download any Rogue Trader materials, read the .txt file in the RT directory)

I've always ruled it doesn't, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Especially since best-quality gives total immunity to overheating and good-quality just gives reliable.

Last time on Song of Swords:
Zells have big titties
Importance of Etiquette and Wits
Cleaning robots on a rampage
Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. The Kickstarter was nearly 300% funded, and we're on the fast track to kicking ass baby.
Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
MEGA folder containing current version of the game and all supplementary materials.
Note that the latest version of the game is v1.3. The next update will probably be called v1.4.

Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details:

There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread.
We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room, but now we have a much better way to play Audatia: Tabletop Simulator! The (official!) mod for Audatia is now up and running!

Is it wrong to have an all human setting?
A sci-fi one?
Is it wrong for corporations to be good?
Is it wrong for corporations to own planets?
Is it possible for a game to take place in a post-scarcity society? How?

No, but if you're a shitter who can't worldbuild in diversity then don't make all humans.
Sci-fi is incredibly fun if you have people who enjoy it.
No, but not all corporations are good or bad. See statement 1.
No.
Yes. I'm in a game right now where there was a cataclysmic event that ravaged entire peoples. Stretches of land became inhospitable arcane storms, oceans opened into cavernous voids that consumed the fish population, and other generally terrible stuff. However that was several years ago in-game and the various groups of people are picking up the pieces and finding alternatives.

brotip: If you're really uncreative, use races as personality archetypes while keeping everyone human.

>Is it wrong to have an all human setting?
No, actually this is what I end up doing for most of my settings.
>A sci-fi one?
Not at all, there are tons of these.
>Is it wrong for corporations to be good?
No, the bad corp trope is just a carry-over from the cyberpunk genre and "fight the man" culture in America.
>Is it wrong for corporations to own planets?
Morally wrong or bad writing? If the corps colonized them themselves I find no fault with it. Depends on the circumstances though.
>Is it possible for a game to take place in a post-scarcity society? How?
Yes? This is literally what Star Trek games are.
