Why build a sand castle if the ocean is going to wash it away?
Why live if you're going to die?
The Qu think they are blessing planets with their influence and must continue their pilgrimage across the galaxy so that others may also be blessed (and to prevent any upstart civilizations from actually putting up a fight).
Their job is to go around sending species back to the stone age while getting off on playing god, and eventually they get bored of their toys and move on.

Bump.

Gods speed Leakanon, you're making the Emperor proud!

Space OD/ZS when??

I am probably going to just run some quick one offs with my friends at first, currently GMing one campaign and I'm not that good as to GM two.

Are you telling us a riddle or a story?

I am confused with regards to the behavior of the other two players, who are not forthcoming with details regarding why their emotional states remain so agitated by this turn of events.

>>54688199
Ask the players why they were in a bad mood

They have some pretty cool designs based on the 3 pictures I've seen.

>>54687366
I like the art. The setting doesn't really do much for me though

>>54687366

Art and setting seem cool but its so far out of my comfort zone I wouldn't be able to run it.

Perturabo knew he was always being watched by the Eye of Terror and the Chaos Gods. He always wanted the attention of his Father, yet all he got was the attention of the Eye. Why is this? Not only that, but why was the Eye so focused on him anyway?

2nd for beta male mannequins

Has anyone used a 10 man unit for chaos terminators with combi-plasmas and power axes? If so how well did they fare?

No, you would need to play it smarter than that. I believe you should send down your females to selected neighborhoods to interbreed.

It's only unethic if you lose.

>>54685524

Of course it wouldn't be acceptable. You lose out on all the slave labor, as the Gorb... er, human race would need to shore up their numbers after the war, and that would definitely need all that slave labor for harvesting raw materials.

No one has ever said this.

>>54684866
It's not "D&D can do everything"
It's "we're familiar with D&D and unwilling to ever learn another system"

>There's been a trend that I've been noticing lately and it's the idea that D&D can do everything.
D&D can do anything? Now, this is something new.

Not a Legend. But Should be.

Why is Aladdin a chink? Also Sinbad needs to be a legend, as does uncle istvan.

>>54684215
Not always, but generally yes.

>>54684215
No, because deserts don't have particularly strong political or ideological views, especially not relating to mountains, and thus are not easily triggered.

>>54684215

It's called the rain shadow effect. As moist water blows in from the ocean, it eventually abuts up against a mountain range, dropping all of its water as rain on the side facing the ocean. There's tons of real life examples:

They are limited to a single school of magic and even that takes a lifetime of learning so no

>>54683925
Wouldn't the Vampire Counts technically be considered a magocracy, since all vampires know magic?

>>54683973
Not all vampires can fling entire legions of the undead and stuff like that. Only the very powerful ones can do so and there are not too many of them running around.

What do? Realistically do I have a chance at stopping this, or is the server ruined forever?

>Why they abandoned good ideas and went for the most generic, lets-not-angry-everyone-by-not-appeasing-anyone system?

They couldn't risk another failed product, I don't think you understand how bad business is in RPG land, think about it like this: despite the massive success of 5e the D&D department at Wizard you can literally count the number of employees on your hands and they make more and more redundancies every year.

>>54683856

Because it was easy, safe, simple. And it worked.

That's what it comes down to. They didn't need to innovate or try anything new. They saw that. While the enthusiasts loved the interesting stuff from the playtests, their core customers didn't care whether they tried or not, so it was more profitable for them to keep things as bland and generic as possible. So what if everyone gets bored of it in a year? They've bought the books, and they might buy more in hope of the system getting slightly more interesting over time.

Then again, 5e's profits are negligible. RPG's in general are low profit projects compared to most other things, Hasbro/WotC likely don't give a fuck about the game itself at the higher levels. They just need a product to occupy the trademarks and copyrights so they can license out the brand for merchandising and other media that might make money they could actually notice.

>>54683912

It's actually nowhere near that bad in general, that was specifically a case of internal fuckery within Hasbro/WotC. They intended to make D&D a MtG tier earner, despite doing so essentially being impossible. They gave it a huge team, a huge budget, a lot of support... And it only made good money. It still made money, a return on the investment, but not enough to the point it would count as one of their major brands, so they relegated it to a small team and a very limited release schedule while focusing on licenses to print money like MtG.
