A long time ago I had a giant forge me a sword out of dreams, but I've lost it at some point.

>>47066695
A long time ago I had a giant forge me a sword out of uniqueness. Not a single blade like it, you know.

I received from a giant a sword made from blind optimism.
It will be useful any day now.

Extreme magnetic fields render ferrous weapons and armor useless, thus all warfare is done with stone and bronze.

Has /tg/ grown faster since the creation of /qst/? Has interest in GURPS died down pending the next Pyramid?

Don't we argue enough?

Is the GURPS community on /tg/ simply not a cancerous enough to sustain a general?

Sorry, your thread was obviously cancerous quest baiting, and was thus ignored.

It's not actually that popular on /tg/ to make metathreads to bitch about people who play different types of games than you.

The entire fluff of 40k is cringey if you take it seriously. It's a hodgepodge trashheap of 70s and 80s fiction and british culture. You are supposed to look and laugh at the stunning stupidity and the insane to-the-point-of-being-funny grimness of the setting.
The tag line is IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY WAR for fuck's sake.

>>47061770
Is that still the case though? A lot of the people here into 40k fluff seem to take it very seriously

>>47061937
Its pretty easy to tell, just ask their opinion on Orks.

My favorite goofy part of 40k lore is the Dark Angels "dark secret". Ostensibly that part of their chapter rebelled during the heresy. But given their Primarch's name, jokingly implied that they are closet sodomites.

>>47053734
Its a sign you need to leave 4chan for a while and hang around people who don't conform to the terrible "culture" of a single website.

Was it emotionally painful when the big girl removed her helmet in shame?

>>47047983
Change objective as soon as possible, you must now locate the village and return your friend to her parents. As to the morality of the situation, I'd say it depends. If you knew she was a kid from the start, then yeah you're a piece of crap, if you didn't, the fact is that her parents are probably worried sick and you should really get her home. This will either be a great chance to retire the character or simply have a bit of character development during the sidequest before the parents give their approval. (Perhaps giants typically go wandering when they come of age and her parents won't mind as long as they get a letter now and then.)

Rolling a leng

I guess i just build a new one?

Yes, higher sectional density is always good.

In fact people suspect gold initially acquired its desirability partly because of its lustre and partly because people noticed that the little yellow rocks were really good at killing other people when you lob them with a sling.

>>47076038
So, just projectile weapons? Sling bullets, crossbow bolts and catapult rocks? Nothing like uranium lucerne hammers?

>>47076043
Melee weapons don't care that much about sectional density. Sure if you have a heavier hammerhead it will do more damage when you swing it, but it's also harder to swing.

Your regular steel is plenty heavy for bludgeoning weapon so there's no point.

The GM is important, but a GM can only do so much.

The quality of the system isn't the only factor in determining how much you'll enjoy a game, but that doesn't mean it isn't important. A good system will support your experience and make it easier, while a bad system will make it harder. However, a lot of that burden goes on the GMs shoulders, hence why people might have rose tinted views of certain systems because they've never had to run them.

The other side, of course, is GMs who invest so much in becoming able to run a bad system that they start to buy into the sunk cost fallacy, defending that system against all comers to try and justify the amount of time and effort they spent, rather than being able to mindfully acknowledge its flaws while still having fun with it.

You can enjoy bad systems, and you can have fun games with them. But it's still worth being aware of a systems flaws and not letting personal bias compromise you on that front.

>>47072657
>The GM is important, but a GM can only do so much.

Not really. They can literally flip the system on its head and take only the parts they want, and that's not some cosmic crime. There is literally no limit to what a GM can do.

And, if the GM uses the system as the core of the heavily-modified game he runs, he's free to defend that system as much as he wants, especially if he's defending it against whiners who like to exaggerate what flaws it might have.

2MB, 6920x4904px

Aymsland was yet again a battlefield - the four vassal pajit states and the ramki lands rose up and formed the United Front of Resistance. Eventually they were defeated by the forces of our Republic and our more loyal vassals.
Our military losses were estimated to around 100 000, while over half a million pajit and ramki have died and many have fled the continent. The material damages will be repaired eventually, but the Council agreed to support Atanius in his eventual plan to annex the pajit lands and remove all pajit and ramki from the continent - one way or another.

Our allies, the Kaichou Empire and Sunset Alliance, have now marked that a larger part of their population lives in their Eyerdar colonies than the homeland. Delegates from our allies were present in Centerhold and were also victims to anarchist terrorists, but their governments have stated that they continue to consider us part of the Occidental Axis.
The NPU has recieved many immigrants from Aymsland following the rebellions.
