Simpleton, swamp ents are a myth.

Lurking helps. I spent months lurking before posting in a world building thread.

Lurk more.

/tg/ is such a diverse board that a sticky like that would be massive and need constant updating.

Just lurk more, OP.

>An Awakened teen would be a nightmare. The ability to alter reality is scary for an adult, no less an unstable, inexperienced child.

I know, right? Like, I'd play the character as having been discovered and taken under the tutelage of a Pentacle Master pretty much right away, to keep them from getting into too much trouble (and control how much they learn so that they aren't actually released from their apprenticeship until they're close to 18 at least) but they'd still be pretty far from well adjusted - and therefore perfect PC material!

A poorly written system that was built an a very specific concept. A massive power creep with no concept of balance. A grab bag of random bullshit packaged as a "setting".

Take your pick.

Too many San-checks for one games studio

Still have a huge sentimental spot for Rifts, but its fucking crazy like a mad womans house that hoards old newspaper clippings, cats and random bits of junk she's found on the street.

Small-points games are only balanced if you can limit the kind of shit you can field. Lots of factions are stuck with shit and others can field Deathstar models snugly between mandatory Troops and HQ.

ah, you're right he did. this particular guy is known for being a faggot. i wasn't aware he was specifically being a faggot at 500pts.

still, even if i had planned for it there was literally nothing i could have done. I want to remain with Admech but they're so goddamned limited with their options.

Who the hell thought giving squishy, semi-elite units with medium ranged guns no transports was a good idea?

>“We’re pretty stoked about the arrival of Halo: Ground Command and we can’t wait for players around the world to experience the fun we have been having as we created the models and core rules,” explains Spartan Neil Fawcett, Creative Director of Spartan Games. “Halo fans are used to seeing ground warfare from a first person perspective, but with this game we step back and embrace the whole battlefield where we see entire Battle Groups engaging with each other. Players can deploy units of Troopers, Grunts, Elites, ODST, Elite Rangers, Warthogs, Scorpions, Wraiths, Ghosts… the list goes on!”


>Expansion plans for the game will see some of the most iconic vehicles from the Halo Universe realised in superb detail at 1:100th scale. “UNSC Pelicans, Covenant Phantoms, anti-air variants of the Scorpion and Wraith tanks, Banshees, Falcons and even giant machines like the Covenant Scarab. At 1:100th scale we have been working with the actual video game assets to make our models as accurate as possible. They are still designed to be gamed with, but we are sure fans of Halo will see just how much attention to detail we’ve lavished on these models,” explains Spartan Chris Peacey, Lead Designer for Spartan Games.

>THE GAME ENGINE

>In much the same way as our spaceship combat game, Halo: Fleet Battles, was created to allow Halo fans to readily embrace wargaming in the Halo Universe, so the ground game is built around smooth and intuitive game mechanics.

>“This is a true wargame that brings together tanks, soldiers and flyers in a hobby format we are sure will see gamers create stunning battlefields upon which they can fight epic games using their stunning armies,” added Spartan Neil. “As we created the rules we made sure that the Halo canon was adhered to, generating those cinematic moments of excitement, and always looked to keep the gameplay fast, intuitive and bloody.”


>A key part of the game play is the Reaction Engine, which means a unit is never safe from harm by an enemy unit. Players will need to keep their wits about them when deploying their forces and constant vigilance as a battle unfolds will be rewarded by victory!

>Come and check out the Halo: Ground Command game and models which will be on display at the Salute 2016 wargames show in London. And keep an eye out for some exciting news about two of our coolest [and largest] Halo flying models: the UNSC Pelican Dropship and Covenant Phantom Dropship.

>The initial release of Halo: Ground Command will see a 2-player Battle Box launched, along with the first upgrade boxes for the UNSC and Covenant.
All the best,
Spartan Neil

It was maybe four nautical miles to the ship, silhouetted against the horizon. While you were not a professional seaman, you were smart enough to know that it should not take the better part of two days to sail somewhere you could freaking walk to if you weren’t on water.
Oh well. When you finally got close enough, you grinned slyly. It was a motor yacht, about ten feet longer than your current joke-boat. More importantly, you could feel it calling to you.
“Take me” the sultry craft said, smiling. “Make me yours… Captain.”
Shaking your head, you went to find the small girl you had saved. She liked to play chess for some reason, and you needed to clear your thoughts.
“You, smart person who built a radiator.” You said flatly.
“Yes?” he replied, dumbstruck.
“You have the watch. Don’t fuck up my boat.”

One fairly good game of chess you lost later, you looked back at the yacht. It was about forty-five feet long at the waterline, no obvious zombies, and nothing remotely conspicuous about it.
Therefore you were paranoid as all fuck. If you boarded, something was bound to go wrong, as this particular ship had Murphy’s Law written all over it in big red ink. Oh well- that’s what you had the meat shields for. If they each had a knife, that should be enough for them to either work together or stall long enough for you to cap the zombies fairly efficiently. Alternatively, you could just leave, and pass this boat up.
Decision Time.
>Assault the yacht.

Assault the yacht.
Hopefully we thin some crew if it aint big enough to be comfortable for what we have.

It's a 45-footer, so it's not huge. However, you're not exactly planning on giving the no-skill plebs decent quarters anyway, the mouth-breathing food eaters.

The issue with that is that someone could feel like their story is much more important than that of another and push it into everything.

>>46229630
I agree that this is certainly an issue. I suppose that it is the duty of the GM to enforce reality upon the expectations of the player. Having different aspirations isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you're reducing another player's enjoyment of the game, something is wrong.

This certainly occurs in other systems, but it is mitigated by the limitations of the rules enforced by the system. That being said, powergamers and mary-sues still exist outside of freeform. Perhaps the answer is for the GM to encourage player to adjust their perspective, and recognize that having other players to contribute to the story is the best way to develop the depth of his own character?

>>46229565
>but I'm still dissatisfied with the general attitude that /tg/ has on the subject.
Good for you.

>I posit that freeform is the purest form of gaming
Objectively wrong - freeform is not gaming. Games have rules. Freeform is role playing but it is not a role playing game.

/tg/ used to be way more hostile to freeform, but that's slowly dwindled as /tg/ has accumulated quest fags and other layabouts who don't actually play or care about tabletop games.

Well Abi should keep on kicking ass in commanding skills or otherwise.

Petyr is to take a break, find some crazy friends. Lead them and the other troops into turning this dead world into something worthy of a 'mad' person's lab.

Brood is to work on upgrading for robot warfare. Then help keep working at ending this conflict.

Corp CEO should keep on making the Mega Corp real.

Military forces are to join the brood in finishing the planet take over.
