It feels like the existing allegiance benefits could just be written as 0 TPA Resources, for example.

I feel like there should be a "Forever GM" support group.
What's your current favorite runner build that you'll NEVER EVER get to play?
Mine's an IRA rigger driver who firebombs keeb nightclubs
>>
I had this idea for a shadowrun campaign, that the runners would be tricked by a Mr.Johnson has a way out of paying them for a job by knocking them out and stuffing them on a cryogenic ship to Mars in where they discover the company has a major mars base extracting minerals to ship back to Earth. The other companies hire them out to wreck their shit.

Your name is Asato Junichi and today is the worst day of your life.

You have been stuck in this hellhole for two straight months now but suddenly everything just got worse.
For starters one of your comrades, Kamai Yukiko, got presumably eaten by a hollow and her sister Aiko became unstable as a result.
Nothing seemed to calm her down and your commanding officer, the third seat of your squad, was about to send her home to Soul Society due to her instability, however that was postponed because of yet another hollow invasion.
But just as things started to calm down with the hollows culled as usual, the hollow that was responsible for Yukikos murder showed up again and Aiko lost her mind. She charged the creature without any hesitation and split off from your squad. You followed her, knowing she'd die alone if the beast decided to attack her.
You managed to catch up to her and actually surround the monster however, this hollow exhibits traits unlike any you have seen before.
It actually managed to block your Zanpakutō and as you were about to release your sword Oiran, the hollow tore your weapon out of your hand.

This act alone left you shocked but what it did afterwards is what completely stunned you.
Aiko-chan fired off Hadō #31 at the hollow which was standing in front of you.
Though she didn't say the incantation the blast would have been enough to either seriously injure or outright kill you, since Kidō is her specialty.

But this hollow, this common hollow was capable of cutting Shakkahō in half using your own Zanpakutō. The two small fragments of the red ball of energy flew right past you and detonated at a safe distance.
Now the four of you are all standing still, not even the wind is daring to make any noise.

You are too scared to think about what happens next.

But then, the hollow spoke.

You are Kaizar Soize and you are absolutely livid.
Today nothing seemed to go your way, everything you did either went horribly wrong or you had to work twice as hard just to succeed.
And to top it all off, this shinigami in front of you just opened fire at you with an explosive projectile.
It isn't the act of attacking you that upsets you, oh no. It's the fact that she opened fire at you while her comrade was standing right behind you, knowing that the blast would most certainly hit him as well.
From what you can remember you did many bad things, none of which you wouldn't do again in the same situation, but attacking your own men or putting them pointlessly in harms way was not one of them.
The mere notion of opening fire on an ally like that is making your blood boil. You can feel your gills acting up again, not quite flaring red but it's almost there.

In any case, you are furious and in your rage El Recubrimiento actually fails containing your reiatsu and it starts to leak out.
It takes only a few moments for it to overcome the collective pressure of the three shinigami.
As the air around you seems to start boiling in emerald light and the sword in your hand gives a deafening shriek as it seemingly gathers your escaping energy and vibrates to it.
The shinigami break out in a cold sweat, they appear to have accepted their fate and embraced death.

But instead of killing them you start shouting.
"WHAT. WAS. THAT?!"

The expression of the shinigami is a strange mixture of fear and confusion.

"Do you literally have NOTHING better to do than come after me AND KILL EACH OTHER?!"
You continue as you point towards the sky with your the sword.

"I swear to God! First that bastard Adjuchas, then the slimy SS Quincy bastard AND NOW YOU! Give me a break already!
I mean, I'm a monster for crying out loud but what you just did makes me want to throw up! Aren't these the people you fight back to back?
And you just OPENED FIRE ON HIM WITH AN EXPLOSIVE!"
>>
You breathe heavily after this speech of yours.
The shinigami are sufficiently shocked that for a while they won't be able to collect themselves.
You don't want to kill them, that would be mercy killing and you are not that kind.
The question is what to do now...

>Just walk away casually, they won't be able to stop you
>Use Sonido and disappear, shock them even further (besides you have spare energy)
>Knock them out before you leave.
>Other? (write-in)

Also, what to do with the sword?
>Keep it
>Leave it

Dropping my request down for posterity's sake.

==

Apologize for the lack of references but I am away from my computer at the moment.

Playing an ork in a rogue trader game. Could I get pic related, but orkified, with a boss pole covered in some kind of red crystal gubbinz from those pansy eldar?

Instead of claws it has one enormous buzz-saw and one mini volcano cannon (melta gun) mounted in place of the hands. It has an orky face slightly reminiscent of a gargant on the front and a large presumably Diesel engine on the back.

Bonus points if it's cutting a 60m long daemon slug in half.

Thanks for considering my request!

>>46243412

I was under the impression it was pretty accurate, though the dismissal about cross-breeds was kind of heavy-handed.

I mean, that's what Bretons are as a whole, and I find it sort of odd that the different Human ethnicities are considered practically different species. Same with Mer for that matter. I can only really imagine that being a barrier for Argonians and Khajit.

Chivalry’s finest military expression in contemporary eyes was the famous Combat of the Thirty, which occured on 26th March 1351. An action of the perennial conflict in Brittany [part of the Hundred Years War], it began with issued by Jean de Beaumanoir, a captain of Charles of Blois supported by the King of France, to Robert Bemborough, a captain of Jean de Montfort supported by the King of England. When their partisans clamored to join, a combat of thirty on each side was agreed upon. Terms were arranged, the site was chosen, and after participants heard mass and exchanged courtesies, the fight commenced.

With swords, bear-spears, daggers, and axes, they fought savagely until four on the French side and two on the English were slain and a recess was called. Bleeding and exhausted, Beaumanoir called for a drink, eliciting the era’s most memorable reply: “Drink thy blood, Beaumanoir, and thy thirst will pass!” Resuming, the combatants fought until the French side prevailed and every one of the survivors on either side was wounded. Bramborough and eight of his party were killed, the rest taken prisoner and held for ransom. In the wide discussion the affair aroused, ‘some held it as a very poor thing and others as a very swaggering business,’ with the admirers dominating.

The motivation for the combat is unclear. The earliest written sources present it as a purely chivalric exercise, undertaken to honour the ladies for whom the knights were fighting: referring to Joan, Duchess of Brittany (House of Blois) and Joanna of Flanders (House of Montfort). These women were leading the two factions at the time, as Joan's husband was in captivity and Joanna's was dead (her son was a young child at the time). This is the account given by the contemporary chroniclers Jean le Bel and Jean Froissart, both of whom present the conflict as purely a matter of honour with no personal animosity involved.
