One time she was my barista at Starbucks and she put soy in my mocha instead of milk.

I mean the whole selling jace out to bolas thing was shitty

also she is systematically killing off some of the multiverse's most upstanding business men just because she doesn't want to pay her debt

>>46619680
If she can't exile a bitch how is she supposed to beat Ormendahl.

He's so cool, I don't want him to die

>>46618203
No. Too many tabletop games care about rolls for pass/fail above or below certain value, which might not actually be the halfway point OR be for adding up lots of numbers, and those two being true are the only way it stays normal. There are also just a lot of special things in many systems that suddenly DO care about specific rolls, like nat. 1 and nat. 20 or specific effects that trigger upon rolling minimum and maximum on damage dice.

The thing is, even if the shape is evenly balanced, there is no way for human perception to even approximate a verification for this. They are probably no easier to weigh than normal d6s, but they don't exude that reassuring symmetry.

games are a social contract

if you use casino grade dice at your warhammer tournament people will assume you are cheating, even though it is very hard to cheat with those dice and they roll more fairly.

if you use horrible opaque chessex on the other hand, you can cook your dice very easily and get away with it. Even if you don't try to cheat at all, the dice are often made very poorly and aren't fully random.

I personally like wooden dice. I don't know if they are more fair or anything, and truth be told I don't care all that much. They look nice, and they feel nice to roll.

It's poke a hole in the sky and all the air would get out, duh.

as the world spins around it would scrape across the sky, tearing it open and causing all the oxygen to leak out

Tailors and armour smiths.

It's all high fashion produced for noble ladies with way too much money for their own good.

Tailors and armorsmiths, I guess.

Put it up on DrivethruRPG or some other distribution site. Just because you can't print physical copies doesn't mean you can't make some cash off it.

>>46632951
I already did. Surprisingly, if you do good work people will offer you money for it.

Publishing is irrelevant in the digital era for gaming materials. Just getting them to people who want them is far more important.

>>46633011
What game?

Depends on the Blank. Some are stronger than others. But none are so strong they can mess with a warpship.

>>46632512
>None are so strong that survived to adulthood

FTFY.

Pariah's range from being shunned, to hated, to causing psychotic violent outbursts among any around them, depending on how strong they are. Perhaps there was a blank that was as strong as the Emperor but reversed, but it's own mother probably strangled it moments after it was born.

>>46632488
They are full uncanny valley tier. Just imagine a guy that has no face. Everything else about that person is as normal as can be. Looking from behind that person looks like a normal bloke doing normal stuff. Then it turns to face you and you see that It has no mouth, eyes or nose. Just a blank slate of skin.

That is what a blank is.

Gemstone dragons.

I don't know of any 'canon' answer, but I just assume that both colours are passed down, with each child having a chance to be one or the other.

In the backstory of one of my characters, they come from a city-state ruled by a Golden Dragon dynasty which has the occasional Red child after a redeemed Red married into their line millenia ago.

>>46629555

But Gemstone dragons are just psionic dragons.

Did the Succubus also happen to be a thief/assassin?
Did the Ranger try to fight the succubus to suck the bartenders dick?

>>46627147
oh no

Depends on the setting? I wouldn't have an issue with it.

>>46635998
I don't understand your problem.

All weapons can be used defensively, whether it's proper defence or just acting as a layer between your soft flesh and the blow. As for fewest applications? I'm not sure myself but knuckle dusters and tiny knives seem almost useless.

>>46634283

Offense can be defense and defense can be offense

Defense can be achieved with an offensive action and Offense can be decided by a defensive action by the attacker.

Don't get caught up in the two terms, they're just circumstances to a bigger picture.

Flails.

Is that a Sims3 door?

>>46633846
No, but I've considered making it a campaign.

What a loser.

No but I'd like to try something like pic related at some point

>>46632845
What are some of your ideas?

>>46632728
Not yet.
He's currently the BBEG in another campaign, though.
I'm hesitant to have him face his allies again, mostly because he could only bring himself to kill one of them (the person who betrayed him). Currently, nobody's told them what's going on, because they think explaining the situation would make things worse.
I've told the betrayer that the person they sacrificed (somewhat unknowingly) will be back, though I haven't explicitly told who it is. I think the player knows, though, even if the character doesn't.

I dunno, man, but I feel like bards might be officially changing their theme from inspiring people with their songs to plain dicking them.

>Leeds will be replaced by Chris Cocks, who most recently served as Vice President, OEM Technical Sales at Microsoft Corporation, where he led a global sales and technical engagement team.

This gaming background stinks.

Analysis of the Prophetical abilities of the Reincarnating: it cannot be simply seeing the future, because then her lack of knowledge of your powers would not be an issue as she would merely observe their outcome. True or false?

>>46631765
Actually, she was unable to see the masks, and was completely unable to see the player's character from the other setting. She's aware that he exists only by his presence and impact on the world, thus she's unable to predict their immediate effect upon the world. She's elected to keep things hands off, as she is inherent to the prophecy, and any direct influence she might have may would likely make things worse. From her perspective, she's able to see the secondary or third levels of impact our actions have, but not the primary, and she observes these as slight fluctuations in events she never could have predicted. Basically, they are inherently and unknown to here, albeit currently a very small one.

Sorry, I deleted the post because I went away and came back unable to decipher it. I'm gonna have to go a more pedagogic route, or I won't be able to understand what I'm writing.
