The rulebook is a good introduction to the setting.

For entry point 40k the best is probably Ciaphas Cain.
It's not too grimdark it doesn't take itself too seriously. And it gives lots info on the imperial guard, the imperial society and the xenos races.
The only issue is that the author repeats the same basic plot in every book.
Still an entertaining reading.

Eisenhorn, but only if you count the omnibus as one book.

If you want an in depth martial arts system with a customizable amount of ki/supernatural powers then Anima beyond fantasy is great. If you survive the aneurisms it will give you learning it. I love Anima to death but it is a bear.

How bad are solarians REALLY? Like, levels 1-6, how does a solarian do if the other option's a melee soldier with Blitz? Aren't all solarians supposed to ignore Solar Armor and go for heavy armor?

reposting since i posted when the last one died
Hey questions for an EDH newbie with some greentext:
>long time player but new to EDH
>bought my buddy the anthology and we played a few times
>After scoffing at it for so long realize i love the format
>start crafting some decks but realize Meren is my waifu and have my friend give me the precon out of the Anthology
so my questions are:
If I play Endless One or Walking Ballista (or any pure X creautres) do they hit the battlfield then go to they graveyard and are they eligible for a 0 experience reanimate to die again for a total of 2 counters?
And last question, are there any cards in the precon that definitely need to get replaced and if so, what are they?

>>54793741
This has always seemed needlessly complex to me. Some of the simulations, like for d7, say to reroll if no number is indicated. If you're going to allow that, you might as well call a d100 a D Total: to simulate any die, just roll it and then reroll if the result is higher than the target range.

So my player group recently had a discussion about some of our favorite anime and A Certain Scientific Railgun S showed up. Someone brought up that it might be cool for us to play a game in that setting.
Our group only has played DND, Mouseguard, and WOD so far, and we didnt think any of those systems could adapt super well into the setting.
Some light research and recommendations have lead me to look at Smallville, the Hero system, and mutants and masterminds as possible candidates. I was wondering if anyone who had any experience with these systems could put in a word or two about their merit, and if you watched the show could shed light on how well the system would translate.
Thanks for your help!

If you're familiar with D&D, consider Mutants & Masterminds. The Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion is an easy superheroes system too.

Mutants and Masterminds, because just like the anime it's far too easy to wind up with broken powers.

DMing for my first time, I have encounters written in that don't revolve around combat and solely exist to drive roleplaying/character development of PCs/NPCs. So for example one day on the road an NPC might ask the players a question regarding their past or their motivations and they would exchange information. Is this a good idea to add to the game? Or is it pointless and just a detraction from the action?

Would you want to play in a setting where you have multiple planets that you can travel back and forth between, but it's all High Fantasy, no technology beyond Bronze Age at all. Not even steampunk?
The main ways if Space Travel I have been thinking of are powerful wizards astral traveling to different planets, finding ones that can sustain earth like life, then using magic to open portals directly to that planet.
Then there's blacksmiths and such building bronze age ships. No different than the ones you use to sail the seas. But then you enchant the fuck out of them. Literally every square centimeter of it, even the nuts and bolts, have a rune or something carved onto it. For the filthy rich they have little yachts they can sail around the solar system. But for the long term voyagers they have special equipment, like a feather fan that when you wave it, it refreshes the air so you don't run out of oxygen. All of the sails create a magic bubble that retains a breathable atmosphere so you don't suffocate. Everyone wears vests that keep their core body temperatures at the ideal range. There is a jar of never ending fresh drinking water, a jar of never ending jerky, a jar of never ending potatoes, etc. etc. etc.
And then there are entities like super ancient vampires, liches, dragons, elementals, fey creatures, etc. that are so damn powerful they just levitate/fly up through the atmosphere and physically travel to different planets through the sheer power of FUCK YOU, IMMA DO WHAT I WANT.
Does this sound like something that would be fun?

Does this sound like something that would be fun? If you want something relatively carefree then you can run around doing little sidequests for the small village of fairy creatures that recently colonized an uncharted forest. Or if you want something grimerp you can try an survive on the planet of Space Australia. Or if you want a long term campaign you can work for a Wizard, Captain, Ancient Abomination to magically terraform and colonize a new world that is incredibly rich in heavy precious minerals like gold and silver, as well as diamonds and other rare gems.
And of course it doesn't have to be just planets either. There can be colonized moons. Satellites in orbit, think floating castles but IN SPAAAAACE. Villages and trading outposts set on the backs of space whales, etc.

GURPS, Traveler, lots of people swear by WEG's D6 star wars games, and of course there's a Firefly RPG, but it's not very good.
For a totally different feel, there's also Rogue Trader, but that's not sci-fi.
