The PCs are German soldiers stationed in North Africa. They are camped out near a local village, and have been bartering for supplies. One night the PCs awake in their tent to the camp being burned and animalistic howls in the night. They grab their MP40s but find no one living in the camp, only dismembered corpses and bloody messages in a language they don't understand.

They meet the only other survivor, the legendary armor operator Erwin Rommel. Now the party must ride their tank across the desert as an ancient evil kicks off the apocalypse, finding any survivors they can to form a Wehrmacht and destroy the source of the evil, whatever it may be.

It's half war-game, armor versus big creatures, and most of the roleplay comes from convincing locals and Allied soldiers to join up/not murder you.

First off AESR mechs don't have two pilots.

HYDRA domes don't stack with each other, same for shroud generators. The commando skill concealment does stack with it though.

>>46348472
How about some details on the particle ripper?

>mediaval battles are men in full plate whizzing about going "NYOOOM"

>>46347415
That doesn't sound tactically viable

>>46347433

But its fun.

Wouldn't other orks immediately bash a chaos ork in the head to steal his horn? Those horns must be worth some money in the toof economy

>>46347023
Only toofs are worth something horns aren't.

Sorta raises the question about humie toofs.

>>46347040
Somewhere in the codex it says human and grot toof are so puny they are worthless.

But then squiggoth toof must be worth a mother load.

I should also add, that if just crunching numbers is what makes a game fun for you, then why play RPG's? Several other game types do this much better.

It's more of a problem on imageboards and forums, especially in places like /tg/ and GITPG's fascination for 'white room theorycraft' builds and scenarios. Anything less than optimal is automatically decried as useless and unplayable, regardless of the fact that there are GM's who tailor their games for the players and know how to spread the limelight around and can cope with games like RIFTS, D&D, and other unbalanced and supposedly unplayable systems.

>>46346406
Do they? I love character theory crafting and unless my GM pushed for more role play I'd be happy crawling dungeons and grabbing loot. That's not to say I don't enjoy myself in his games, I really do, but I love min maxing, although u don't bring it to the table because I'm aware other people don't.

You just do you.

its shit reee its not 3.5 ree

Because 3rd edition breeds retards.

>What the fuck? What's the issue with this edition of DnD that we all screamed at it and said it was bad? It's fucking good.
Because it is good and people thought they knew everything about a game they didn't play

They're seen as mistakes. If they joined the Church as servants, they will be absolved of their inheritance sin and treated normally. The Grey Trickster is ancestor-god of orcs and why humans have disdain for them.

>>46345043
Second class citizens at best. Mostly like the untouchables of India or burakumin of Japan.

Exceptionally accomplished ones (usually members of religious or military orders) always have their accomplishments punctuated with their heritage, they did good for a half-orc.

>>46345043
They don't exist in my setting

Should I build Grixis Delver or BUG Delver in legacy? I cant tell which I like more.

Ideal changes to the B/R list? Nothing.

Expected? Lodestone golem. For no good reason

Am I the only one who feels nostalgic for Mercadian Masques? I loved the flavor and atmosphere of that set.

M39. Fairly recently relatively speaking, but these Eldar have been interacting with humans for at least 2000+ years. D8 for the biome of our ship home

Here's a map.

Is there anything special about which Land Raider I decide to run? Like does the Redeemer benefit from Salamanders chapter tactics? Crusader benefit from Imperial Fists chapter tactics?

>>46344358
my players haven't gotten to Madam Eva yet, but my DM draws are compelling. I was worried about the helper, but then realized some cards have multiple options.

Are other DMs rolling for loot in CoS in addition to the loot the adventure describes for each encounter? I haven't been and my players are complaining about the perceived lack of loot. It is pretty sparse so far.

Tau units are so good because of competitive balance, or at least and attempt at it. They tend to get their asses handed to them in the fluff.

In the defense of the adeptus mechanicus.

Fuck you.

>>46344339

Oh, Emperor...

3.PF "spellcaster balance" logic and justification has crept into 40k at long last. Now terrible, broken balance between factions is being taken as a tabletop representation of fluff, and be used as a justification for why factions "deserve" their competitive power levels on the tabletop.

>QM
Well, at the time I'd had a lot of time on my hands because my course load wasn't too stressful, and I was taking a lot of history courses. I started to build the world before I was really sure what I was going to do with it, but ultimately I decided to run a quest once I realized that there weren't very many quest set in the sort of high fantasy world I'd spent all this time thinking over.

>Player
Personally, I'd like to see more Game of Thrones quest. They always seem popular, but judging by the rate of QM turnover I'd guess they're pretty burdensome to run.

I'd also be interested in a halfway decent Star Wars quest, ever since Crusty essentially let his Star Wars quest die there's been an absence of well written space schlock.

Really, I'd be down for just about any decent sci-fi. I can think of maybe a handful of quest in that genre I've enjoyed, but none that survived beyond a dozen or so threads.

>Bonus
They certainly seem to be.

Speaking of a new directory...

Twitter vamp is still around, but he hasn't managed to add any new accounts, so I'm still going to be running the new list until he does that.

https://twitter.com/tgquestlist/lists/quest-master-directory

If you're a QM and you want to get added or removed, tweet @tgQuestList and I'll get you.

>>46342998
>What genre do you think the quest community is lacking?

Postmodern literature and magical realism are sorely lacking in the questing scene.
