I haven't played it, so I can only speculate. Maybe the focus of the game is too narrow? Space Marines are excellent at fighting, but they don't have that much else going for them. No Dark Heresy-investigations, no Rogue Trader-exploration and trade, no Black Crusade-backstabbing and nuttery, and while Only War is also focused on combat and a rigid command structure, it has that "ordinary soldiers just trying to survive" feel to it. Maybe Space Marines that have been crammed with body upgrades and are handed the best gear humanity can offer right from the bat just don't hold that same challenge, or are simply not as easy to relate to for the average person.

>>46255083
Because space marines do not actually rock.

>>46255083
Death Watch is actually really fun. It is more combat oriented than Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader though.

My favorite boss theme of course, Megalomania.

First of all, thanks to degenerate pornographers, I can no longer read, "The trap is sprung," with the original meaning.

Second, your snake lady keeps turning, but never unturns. She must be in tremendous pain.

Because you can make your own for a fraction of the price. It's not that hard.

skeleton boss is a bard that plays his own ribs like a xylophone

provides buffs to an army of skeleton minions (they could be like regular human skeletons, animal skeletons, whatever)

the skeleton lords from dank souls 2

Give one of them great action economy, initiative, and have them be a great tripper. Easiest way to troll as a player (until the DM suddenly makes every other foe a quadruped) or DM

I don't recognize most of what is going on in this picture.

As much as I dislike Trump, that's a very cute picture.

How serious/what tone is the game/comic?

Typical options range from the evil but honourable dark knight, wicked witches (often of the seductive/mind control variety) to actual Demons from hell.

Of course, there is the ever popular former comrade/mentor who betrayed the order/church/king. Possibly is now a puppet/lover/dark lord of the wicked Witch. May have been corrupted by or summoned the Demon. Also may be part of the Dark Knight's start of darkness or could be his Overlord.

Pretty much like netflix Daredevil.

Magic is strong, but MP shortage is a real thing. Plus aside from ighest of spells it doesn't really do anything a skill roll or an item couldn't accomplish. I haven't gotten to "cottage anywhere" and "feast anywhere" spells yet, but i'm not planning to use them much, since, as you said, it kinda feels ike a cheating.
But ultimately a good fix would be buffing strength and skill types instead. Or a gentleman's agreement/ some sort of limit on when you can use biggest rituals.

>>46252199
Or you could just play the game and only deal with perceived problems if they actually show up.

>>46252444
I'm not so keen on buffing the others as I like the low powerlevel. The spells you mentioned were the ones I had specifically in mind as being game breaking". The rainbow bridge too. All of these feel a little too grand and world bending for some villager on a picnic.

I actually got a desire for roleplaying again a few days ago and decided to use my old account on Iwaku Roleplay. Apparently you need some kind of invite to join nowadays.

Cause it is a card game, but you autistic nerds needed context for a 2/2 bear smashing into a 1/4 Zombie.

The hobgoblins are beginning to become an intolerable threat.
I suggest we eliminate the threats that our allies are fighting as quickly as possible, so that we can unite and wipe out the hobgoblins as a threat.

The meeting with Blackburn is much less intense than you thought it would be, which oddly enough makes it not that fulfilling. You relate to him everything you witnessed and accomplished today, along with all the issues still up in the air left to be dealt with. He acknowledges your roles in preserving the community and awards you 10,000 pieces of gold each for your contributions.

He assures you the day's events were merely one major setback and Seaside has powered through major setbacks before. When the histories are written down about this place, this attack will simply go down as the third year's major complication, according to him.

Blackburn sure has a way of transforming tragedies and miracles into pluses and minuses. You wonder if that makes rationalizing things easier for him. He tells you that while things are generally peaceful immediately following a concentrated and purposeful act of misfortune like this, you should all remain in town while the walls are rebuilt, reinforcements are requested, supplies are requisitioned and Seaside bounces back to normalcy.

So it looks like it will be some time before you head out on another expedition, leaving you a lot of free time.

Consider giving separate HP scores to each body part. It helps with the issue of "I killed him by stabbing the foot".

>>46248854
You could do it like Lost Planet did it, and have some of the vital parts of the monsters exposed. Else they'd need to somehow get to the vital parts. Maybe the monsters hide and shit is brittle and can be blasted off to expose the heart, or maybe they need to invade the monster through some kind of hole making the encounter basically a living dungeon.

The last one might be somewhat magical realm-y though.

Start by defining what the main focus of play is going to be, and craft the rules around that, rather than aping D&D.

Or just play GURPS.

>>46246705
I don't even know how to start statting some of that shit in GURPS.

Dawn of War

>>46246471
Start with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MeVxKZBOfM and then head over to https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Template:40k-Timeline and hit the expand function. Hit up the war in Heaven, Fall of the Eldar, everything pre-heresy, and combine that with what you learned from the video.
Search up the main armies (Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Chaos Marines, Orks, Eldar, Chaos Daemons, Necrons, Sisters of Battle, Dark Eldar, Tau if you want them ordered from important to not important) and give yourself enough background to pretty much figure most anything out.
Do not do this all at once, and be aware than 1d4chan, which more entertaining, is fairly biased and a bit wonky.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com is fairly by-the-book.
The Dawn of War series is a great way to introduce yourself to the lore, and Space Marine (the video game) offers a very broad scope of understanding as well, and is made as Babby's first 40K, being one of the major releases.

There are much more players than DMs in the world. Find a new group. If a player flakes without good reason, don't invite him again.

Stop being such a beta and talk to the 2 guys playing vidya

>>46247301
I tried to. I messaged them and got no response.

>>46247206
Probably. The game I was running had consistently low attendence. I'll probably advertise on gamefinder this time rather than the group being real life friends/roll20 applicants.
