Waking up is difficult in the morning, but it is all the more so today. With annoyance, you turn off the alarm: it’s 6:30 in the morning.
‘Looks like it is THAT day, eh?’, you think, half-cynically half-resignedly. A day that will stain the rest of your existence. The anniversary of the death of your mother.

You take your time to climb down the stairs, and once you’re at the bottom, you notice no one else is there.
Your has ran away once again, just like last year and the year before that. You sigh. You probably won’t see him until tomorrow morning.

The loss of his wife left him devastated, and now he doesn’t want you to see him sad.
He puts on a strong mask on the outside to make everyone think he’s ok, and as a result, he feels lonely and misunderstood in his pain. Is all pain in human life really caused by misunderstanding?

It really is odd not having your father around, cooking breakfast with a wide smile on his face. This day of the year, you remember he does so feeling dead inside.
You change into your school uniform and head for the door. The sky outside is gray, so you brought an umbrella with you.

It’s not raining just yet, but an old saying goes ‘better safe than sorry’.
Your friend isn’t here: she usually waits for you and you leave for school together, but today’s an exception. An annual exception, so to say.

You’re pondering on what to do, and decide that going to school by bike isn’t half bad. You’ll be there faster and you might even dodge the rain before it comes.
But somebody clearly doesn’t agree with the idea: a white cat is sitting on the saddle of the bike and is staring at you with its feline hazel eyes.

Errata corrige :
Your DAD has ran away once again, just like last year and the year before that. You sigh. You probably won’t see him until tomorrow morning.

“Come on pussycat, today’s not the day”, you say, trying to persuade him.
But it’s a cat. He doesn’t understand you, or at least seems not to understand you.
“Can I just ride my bike?” Nothing.

You try to move an hand towards it, and it hisses dangerously.
“Somebody is territorial today, I see”.
Well, isn’t that a bother.

>Attempt to remove the cat forcefully

I had a GM once let players make weapons as powerful as they wanted, as long as they could justify why it was powerful. It was part of a (relatively) historical Middle Ages RP.

Cue someone showing up with a 14 line soliloquy of why his sword was powerful. Highlights included:

-Used by the the Dioscuri in ancient times
-Contained wood from the true cross
-the bones of St. Julius
-thrice blessed in Rome
-never pierced innocent flesh

That ended up being a pretty neat RP.

in my setting there is only two ways of making a stabby metal magical; Being a fucking mythical smith or Doing mythical shit.
Blades made under the first circumstance are rare, have taken a lifetime worth of work and the few wich were made are, in history, separated one from the other by hundreds of years. <ost of then as been passed from father to son(or until it got lost or stealed) ever since made, the ones which were lost ahve they on history and myth around it being very hard to know if it is even true. cont, sending now for bump

In my setting, magical energy is everywhere, but in order to create magic items, it needs to be condensed beyond what man is capable of. The only way to get at magic that concentrated is to take it out of magical creatures. Cart your dead beasties back to the local enchanters' college to have them create magic weapons for you (each creature effectively being worth an amount of "enchantment credit") or sacrifice them at your god's altar and pray to have your gear blessed (same system, different fluff).

Paper had done his work,I had to repay him somehow, i went to a grocery and bought some snacks for him and loads of Milk, I got about 850$ left. Not Bad. Skeletons, unlike most races, have few diseases/injuries. Soaking up in a bathtub full of milk usually does the job, it will take a few hours, yeah but our bones will feel like new.

Stay in Milk for too long...and we will have another story. It is the most preferred method for Skeletal suicides; Take a dip, chill and have every joint, hole in your body clogged up by newly formed bone, spooky, Isn't it? Though i did heard some stories about Skeletons who survived getting milked. The most Infamous of them all Ribby Al Consto, A Mobster who is big in Flesh suits, he 'owns' half of the brands in the market but that is a story for another day; you are here for the case, right?

I returned Paper back to Miss Simley and headed back to my apartment. Pesk made one of the best Milk baths i have ever gotten; the density and the temperature of the milk were just right. he owe such an experience to one of his previous masters. He didn't want to talk about it.

The next day started with an unusual visit, An Ice Eles in fine gentlemen's clothes knocked on my door, i failed to see how he was called sexy "Detective Grim? I am Sir James Frozenwright the third, can i come in?"

"Usually it is the other way around but sure, come in, you are the first to set a foot in my office." he wasn't in the mood for any sidetalks. It was understandable.

We sat down, Pesk brought some Wizened tea for our guest/suspect. The Eles took the initiative first "Ranula....she told me about-" he paused, swallowing his pain "I am here to help you in your case, detective. I will start with myself and then we will discuss Helldew's other clients. The Kulshikun who did this must suffer for it."


This guy just saved a lot of time for me. I have a lot of questions to ask, better take them one at a time,nice and slow.

>Ask him about_____

Hello anon.

Does anyone know about how long shipping would take from Spartan games to Canada? I emailed them and they said it would be about three days, but it's been five and still no sign, is that normal?

>tfw you don't give a shit and you just want to kill them because that's the easiest option

Easiest option? I had to trudge through miles of filthy swamp, scale down a buried ruin and then fight an army of mooks just to spend the last three hours trying to brute force the most retarded puzzle lock in human history. Fuck you...I'm killing something today.

This happened in my setting's history. They slaughtered and enslaved the goblins, after killing their creator and leader, and it took them over 200 years for someone to realise they were actually not inherently evil. Every race (except dwarves who didn't give a shit) felt a little embarrassed for a while, and gave them a chunk of land to start their own civilization. They still act like slaves.

>it's a "the monsters that have been attacking you are actually good and you should feel bad for fighting them" campaign

I think that's more cliched at this point than orcs or whatever just being irredeemably evil.

>>46816036
Yes, no, maybe, can you repeat the question, depends on the setting.

>>46816036
Well, what's his reason to want to eat everything?

>>46816036
As long as he isn't gluttonous about it, then no.

...lying, stealing, paying a hitman, and selling bodies to necromancers. I can think of more. The general principle is disregard for the law and others well being.

>>46815028
Oblivious to all the death, suffering and destruction they cause by promoting inaction. That's how they are in real life.

>>46815028
you can dislike physical violence and still be evil.
a character who doesn't fight, because they don't enjoy it. Somebody who pickpockets indiscriminately, frames people to take the punishment for their crimes, abuses people's trust, drugs and rapes people when they can get away with it, and generally wrecks lives because it amuses them and makes them a quick buck.
Not everything chaotic evil is a rampaging orc berzerker. Chaotic evil is selfish and spiteful, with no respect for rules or standards. This gives you a pretty standard 'toxic personality' really. In this case there's no /moral/ objection to violence or code they follow, they just don't find it fun, which is why they don't do it.

An antique dealer under the protection of the mafia has absconded with some pricey ancient artifact. Other groups (occult, but the PC's don't know that) are also looking for the guy.

When the PC's finally get the artifact touching it will count towards them ascending, which was the plan all along.

Another one is the PC's are asked to guard an old kind ladies house for a few days, under the guise that an inter-mafia war has come up and one of the bosses needs his old grandmother protected.

Things are boring for the most part until official black suited agents turn up and try and take her in (with some government or very powerful organisation, which ofcourse the PC's aren't told about). An assault on the house begins which ends with the PCs and the enemy being knocked out by a flash of light.

When they regain consciousness the old woman and the agents are gone, with just empty sedans used by the agents left in the front, and the entire thing was also a ruse to progress their ascension.

I would chuck in some normal missions as well, unrelated mafia ones, however it might require mental gymnastics to argue why average joes are performing the work of a (expected) large mafia organisation without proper training.

Also, as far as the story in the long run goes, don't go too evangelion with it. The PC's should be crucibles or catalysts to something, not necessarily gods or angels.

>>46815626
Thanks, those are some good ideas!
I think that the PCs' role in the ascension thing is to be sacrifices, but not until some requirements are met (it has already been hinted that there was a similar group before them, although the PCs don't know that they have already been sacrificed). I like the thing about having them touch an ancient artifact having to do with the ascension.

Because that would require competent business leadership.

>Why won't GW make a mobile game using table top 40k as a basis
There is a mobile game already based of 40k.
But they ll never transfer the same tabletop ruleset for a VG, too scared of the competition that would arise.

>>46814834
That's not on android :(

There's several 40k mobile games, it just seems like a straight TT port would be the best thing.

I used to play star wars force collection and spent thousands on Line buying digital cards. I know people that spend hundreds a week on mobile games.

The market is there. I'm going to write my congressman about this.

>My character uses a katana. I was very specific in this on my character sheet, for cultural reasons.

Rolled is mostly pointless, just like rolled stats always are. The one way I could see value in it is having your players uncertain how much it'll take to kill a monster, but if your whole group is obsessing over enemy HP you likely have other issues way beyond that.

>>46813498
Rolled. Stops players from getting too complacent and does a little bit to prevent metagaming.

Rolled on bosses, fixed on mooks.
If I have to pick one for everything forever, fixed.
