So I just got a "Start collecting Astra Militarum" kit from a local shop and I was curious, how many flamers/grenade launchers can you have in a regular infantry squad? I'm looking through the rulebook now but no luck as of yet

Wanted to make some different looking Deathwing Knights. Stopped by the FLGS but they were out of Greyknight Terminators; so I picked a box of Stormcast Liberators instead to try converting.

Anyone know of any good Stormcast conversions?

What Dwarven Kings and Thanes remain in Endhammer? How would Ungrim get elected as High King?

And the DC for just about every check is 25.

No that would be the Mausoleum of the first emperor of China, it's fucking huge, full of traps, and not even near being fully excavated with a dedicated excavation going since some time in the 1970s I think.

As where Oak Island is just a hole in the ground with some water traps that flooded it and caused it to fill in multiple times.

>>46515156
Isn't that Mausoleum like only real life place that actually had things straight out of games like crossbow traps and even more amazing is that they still work.

>>46510558
Yes.

Because I'm a slimy pathetic human who yearns to magical realm as a millenia-old vampire. I literally only do it for fetish, and the same goes for anyone else, whatever they say. I like picture my pallid skin, fangs and red eyes. I like to pretend I can smell my own millenia-old vampire parts and sometimes touch them. I also like the illusion of power that comes from having absolute control over every aspect of my character who is nothing more than a vampiric pawn tailored for my amusement.

There is literally no justifiable narrative reason to play as a vampire when you are a human IRL. There is no wriggling out of this. Pretending to be a millenia-old vampire for deep-rooted psycho-sexual reasons is all there is. If you can stand up and admit this then you've gone a long way into self-realization and should be commended for your honesty, even though you're as pathetic as I am.

So I'm fine with playing a millenia-old vampire, and with others who want to fantasize about being vampires, because I'm aware of what I am and I'm not doing any harm to anyone else. Join me, my millenia-old vampire-playing brethren. Join me in self-honesty.

There is a problem with being immortal though.

When you are that old, you perceive time differently. Just like to a child, an hour seems to last forever when you are waiting. And when you are older, a year can pass by and it feels like it was nothing. Time goes by quicker the longer you are alive, simply due to the fact that larger amounts of time represent less of a percentage of your life the longer you live.

So, eventually decades will pass you by and you won't give a shit. You'll start to lose interest in things and do less and less. Relationships will become meaningless and you'll stop caring about people and morality altogether.

It's a sad existence.

And ontop of all that, being immortal doesn't prevent dementia or Alzheimer's. The brain has its limits and you'll reach it before you are a hundred years old. And you want to live like that for a millennia? Your short term memory will become shit. And your long term memory will start to deteriorate. Not only is your life going to be shitty, but your mind will be shitty as well.

I played a Golem who was over 3000 years old once
He was very friendly.
and big
7 and a half feet
I would have made him 8 but then he would have been a Large creature and fitting into armor would have been a pain in the ass

Combat is slow as shit. You need to house rule it if you want to see the end of 6 turns within your lifetime.

>>46510145
>play by post campaign
Don't

>>46512112
What are some guidelines to follow when making combat house rules?

>>46512150
I must. Don't try to stop me, it is too late.

I've been looking at the Warpath setting recently, as a means to get back into scifi gaming (I got tired of the grim darkness), and I apprciate the link to Containment protocols.

I'm curious if anyone tried the zombie expansion, how was it? I've only played a demo game so far but it looks like fun.

>>46506607
I havent played the zombie expansion because i believe that was just a scenario in one of the old deadzone books, one which I don't have.

>>46505794
Same guy who replied last thread about this issue, saying the "diverse species" issue was mostly resolved in my own setting BECAUSE OF THIS SIMPLE PRINCIPLE!

>form is function

So more anatomically interesting aliens and races will naturally produce more different and interesting lore, species todbits and culture info, and most importantly how they interact with other species in the galaxy. Centauric crab people from a frozen methane world will move at about 1/10th the speed of humans and their culture will be just as slow paced. It comes down to extensive worldbuilding and truth be told, a knack for spec bio. We can discuss this further but yesterday you gave me your email, if you could post it again I will email you (regardless of this discussion) about possibly helping you design your species better. One of my trades is being a character/creature designer.

If you still want to do biped, I would suggest adding robots and other kinds of life besides therianthropes. I can't tell if the species in your "lineup" image are all cladistically from Earth or if these are the aliens in your lore sections? If it's the latter, these are really NON alien. If it's the first, the rendering and painting is fantastic but the actual sillouettes/designs are fairly bland.

>We are making changes based on your suggestions from yesterday.
Sorry my dude but until it's not d20+mod vs target number I'm just not interested in the system, it's a little too 3.5-like for me from what I saw.

You've also really, really got to get into the habit of proofreading. Everything I've read on your site, your wiki and even your threads is riddled with grammatical errors and a generally sloppy style.

All that said I'm still rooting for you.

>Keeping to that what would you guys do different with each species?
I read your wiki page on races and saw your race concept art last thread. The wiki was article was a slog to get through and I couldn't tell which paragraph referred to which species because there were no images, and those in the thread weren't labelled.

I like lizard stuff in general but something about the placement of their eyes relative to the horizontal length of the head throws me off. I wish they had some kind of "extra" adaptation to make them a little less boring though - maybe an extensible crest, extra senses, color-changing something. Even just a visually-interesting skin pattern.

I don't like ape stuff in general so I'll pass on that one. Looks alright for what it is I guess.

The human's proportions, especially her face just seem messed up. The eyes are too big.

Girl Hogger is a little too furfag for me, get rid of that five o' clock shadow around her mouth.

The robonoid is cool, gives me a geth vibe. I will say pay attention to the texturing, the shape looks more organic-tech (ala DXHR) but the texture looks like he has exposed pistons and stuff.

The toader, I thought he was looking to the left at first, his head is like an optical illusion.

We can be reached at [email protected].

Thank you for offering.

It usually means the GM had an oversight and he's about to suffer for it.

>>46504291
Learning about the next 6 to 8 highest dangers the party (well, one of the party's characters) is likely to face, as well as at least one way to enhance overcoming one of them currently available to that character.

Or burning a motherfucker by a psychokinetic blade stab, from the inside.

Usually it means I'm going to sit back and get a good show. Either a compleat train wreck or a spledid ravaging

An Example of what i Expect when you fill out a territory.

You don't NEED to fill out the dots outlining your coastline, buts its recommended if your in an island chain, or you see a lot of them in an area.

>>46460583
presumably we have 35 points for the player card?

Demons are incorporeal magic users normally but have the niche of possessing people and being able to jump from body to body.
