We can fuck halflings and its perfectly legal.

It's pretty much familiarity. Less time needs to be spent explaining what the races are, so the game can move on to what they do.

Though I usually abandon the standard set in homebrews and humans, there's nothing bad about it.

>>44985671
Yes it is advantage. Different races, different stats. And that's that. Even if you're not a minmaxer, you're probably choose a race based on the stats they give or the advantages and benefits they get implied or not.
it's like every white wolf game. 90% of players choose their clan/tribe/whateverthefucktheyarecalled based on the powers they'll get and advantages that will be provided.
Roleplay be damned.

>When it comes to post-apocalypse campaigns, how important do you find the issue of religion?
Depends on the setting.

>>44985089
>While I respect his decision to exclude religion from his games...

Lolwhat? Excluding religion from fiction, why? I get that it's not something that people might be super into but it's a pretty big theme to just throw out.
Also, post-apocalyptic settings are pretty perfect breeding grounds for strange cults and faiths. History teaches us what happens when everything gets wrecked and someone shows up and says he's pals with god.

>>44985089
>So when you GM do you gloss over religion in your worlds or does it shape those worlds, or something in between?

It's part of world building so it shapes the world like:

You wouldn't say you're afraid exactly, but there's no way to deny that you take a hesitant step backwards as the ancient creature before you stirs. There's no particular malice in its movements – this is no beast surging from slumber to rage in an instant – but even a glancing blow from those meaty fists would be enough to put you down for a long time. Even if it was just stretching, testing the limits of its body...

A heavy rush of air, thick with the scent of beasts and dark with greasy dust, escapes the beast as it snorts. Within the black reaches of the skull's hollow eye sockets, faint lights first flicker and then glow with a steady intelligence. That great head rolls back and forth as the waking demon scans the surroundings, before those burning lights return to you – and there they stay, narrowing into gleaming points.

“What cruel illusion is this?” the beast groans, its voice dragged from some deep and infinitely hollow pit, “Is this how you choose to torment me, appearing in the guise of my dearest treasure?”

Dearest treasure, you murmur as his hand reaches down to your face, you don't understand.

“No...” the demon murmurs, stopping just short of brushing his fingers against your face, “You're no illusion, but you're not HER either. You're not my daughter.”

Perhaps you're slow on the uptake, but the pieces are slowly falling into place. Buried here, on sanctified ground, is the child of spite – your other self. That, at least, is what the Archangels told you. But if that's true, then the beast looming over you is...

Marco?

There is no easy way to describe the demon's reaction as you whisper the name. He seems to shudder and freeze in the same instant, before slowly turning his face back to you. “Mia,” he rumbles, your name echoing out.

>I'm Mia. I'm your daughter
>I'm not your daughter, and you're not my father
>How can you be... like this?
>Other

>>44984501
>I'm Mia. I'm your daughter
"You've been watching over my...her grave for an entire cycle?"

>>44984501
>>How can you be... like this?
Honestly, I don't know if we could really be considered his daughter. Kind of a weird issue.

Don't act like an ass and have fun.

We'll need a bit more details to give you much more advice than that.

>>44984801
Welp, I'm just going in as a warrior, a mercenary a bit like Geralt Of Rivia. Not really original, I know, but I'm pretty sure I'll be a lot more free to do what quest I want, when I want etc.
I'm with an organised clan too. Is there any cool forum/place for LARP? The community looks a bit scattered.

>>44984989
First of all, the larpthreads on /cgl/, though slower, are generally more helpful. The most important things people'll need to know to give advice are genre (high fantasy, low fantasy, sci-fi, modern, etc) and location (-in general- American larps have more fighting and less roleplaying, Scandinavian larps are have loads of roleplaying and very little fighting, and Central European larps sit somewhere in the middle).

As some more personal advice: when playing a warrior-type, ESPECIALLY one based on a well-known character, think long and hard on what you want the character's personality and background to be like. If you go in as faceless-rank-and-file-dude-#37, you won't get as much roleplay as when you play Sam Mason, the cheerful boy who went out to see the world to follow in his older brother's footsteps.

When making a character's background, try to create a humble story that avoids the most common tropes. Basically, don't do any of the following:
- Play a character whose parents are both dead
- Play a noble
- Play a lost noble
- Play a prophesied hero of ...
- Play the last survivor of ...
And similar things. All of these CAN work in a background story, but I'd avoid them when starting out.

The sewers of Khare

A swamp that was a black dragon lair, and it had failures on the veil so magic was all fucked up.
The GM made all loot from the dragon stink so items were sold for half the selling price and face several smell related debuffs .

>Research Wheel
>An enterprising Clan of the Brigantia has invented a device, what they call a "wheel," that can be moved about the ground by rolling. Shortly there after, ox-drawn carts for hauling lumber, ore and other resources become common, vastly increasing yield. To accomadate these carts, a road is built between Yorkshire and Lancaster.

Why do you want to talk about Barriss Offee?

modelfag here, new mould looks good apart from overly thick wings and some issues getting the resin into the laser cannons again (talcum powder made a smooth cast without bubbles but I think the talc didn't get everywhere, so bubbles at those extremities).

Also, the sacrifices I make for howlrunnerfag to see a squadron of his beauties one day soon, had a bad scalpel stick into my thumb, now bandaged and bathroom cleaned of a good amount of blood.

He would have become the living avatar of Khorne Made Flesh and had at least some limited ability to see the future.

He was also MAX CHARISMA. He could have taken at least as many, if not more, of the primarchs with him.

The Emperor would have been a fine paste on the floor of the Imperial Palace.

Galaxy is on fire.

What's left of humanity is thrall to mad gods.

Alternatively, Chaos would never have gotten a foothold in the Warmaster because his daddy issues weren't as severe as Horus' and he'd have dealt with them in a more constructive manner. In turn Horus would respect him too much to turn traitor in the first place.

>How do you deal with designer's block? Focus on something else? Secondary projects?
I have this problem less than I just get demotivated from a project the longer I don't work on it. And it's not like you can force that shit. I will stare at my work and just legitimately not want to do it.

>>44983651
>How do you deal with designer's block?
I leave the project be for a few days. I might play some vidya (presently the newest Tales or Darkest Dungeon) or read a book or watch some animu or movies or read mango. Basically get away from the design frame of mind.

>>44983651
>designer's block
I rarely ever STOP designing unless work gets in the way, I just end up designing something. This can be severely detrimental to actually finishing a project mind you, as I can sometimes take me a while to get back to the first project, and by then I have to tear out a lot of dead weight to get back to the good bits

You exist between moments, now.

-the cising sparks of EXEC_CONSUME-

-the crazed flicker of the Nihl Sphere as it drinks in CALCITE ARROW's death, in a swirl of violet motes-

-the abstract patterns of gore gushing from the stumps of Rook's severed arms, his head flexing and twisting in shrieking pain as he thrashes on the deck-

The Hektonhire, roaring and hissing and spitting its ember rage as it comes for you. The thing that was once Rust Kaiser is a behemoth, a monstrosity - Lit by the ghastly strobelight inferno that consumes the Thief (Something dark, shapeless, thrashing in the heart of consuming flame) - vast limbs ripping up the ground underfoot as it surges towards you with ponderous unstoppability.

Impaled by a dozen spikes of burning orange light - like swords, like stakes - it moves with singular purpose. Huge, cloven hooves of bleached bone - shod with pitted iron that seems moulded to feet - smash down, leaving skittering craters in their wake. Great claws with too many joints, like the lashing branches of winter trees, close and open, open and close, ending in black talons. Those backward-jointed legs are brutally muscled, tatters of armor flaking away, great curving horns lowered for the charge-

When Rust Kaiser's roar hits you, Haze falls to his hands and knees - His eyeslits flickering green, green, yellow at the world-splitting sound.

"Nnnngh-"

It is like the laughter of an earthquake; made worse for how it *is* laughter, rumbling laughter without sanity or end, an all-consuming fury centered solely upon you.

(Continued)

>>44983426

With every heartbeat, he *grows*. It is as if Rust Kaiser's blistered, cancerous soul has burst the confines of what is possible, surging forward in a storm of grinding footsteps and lashing claws, veins stretched and splayed over pulsing slabs of corded grey muscle, wrapped in strands around arms become thick and branching, in thin wiry tendrils, in vast splaying roots of flesh, in circular pods with a hundreds fingers waving in some unknowable pattern-

Pupils like black holes. Scales, and crags, and cliffs of skin. Decaying organs pulsing beneath translucent pieces of exoskeleton or chitin, pulsing and throbbing - On and on. Forever.

Reality itself is losing its grip. The world is changing right in front of you, permitting this monstrosity, this un-truth.

Daegal - The Condemner's blade fizzing as burning petals flutter around him in a whirling storm - puts what you cannot into words.

"Oh fuck," he says.

As your talons rip free of Calcite's helm - His form already collapsed, turning grey as the animation leaves it, only a dim flicker of awareness on the Orthrus Crest - you face down your foe. Rust Kaiser is vast, looming above you, towering. Still growing, *expanding*, a torrent vile of flesh pushing outwards, armoring itself in a thickening skein. Ropey veins are threading their way through it, blisters of fat and muscles pushing up through the surface-
