No.

Player of the Relictors here, I like to imagine that they're still loyal to the imperium because they're such an interesting concept. Also last I checked there were still 200 or so of them left, the Crimson Fists rebuilt from less. Either way we're not dead until you rip the Screaming Flail from our glorious chapter master's cold hands. Also there are still sympathetic elements in various radical inquisitorial factions.

>>44642356
Wait, they use a flail that has screaming heads on it?
Cool.

Don't listen to the people who shout "JUST IMPROVISE MORE!"

Prepare. Prepare. Prepare. There's a pretty good chance that the exact preparations themselves won't come up, but the process is invaluable, IF you do it right.

Don't make a long daisy chain of events, don't go

>First A happens, and then B happens, and then either C or D happens depending on which lead the players want to investigate, but both will lead them to E, the adventure boss, who has a few clues leading into the larger plot once he's been defeated.


That's bad, and vulnerable because the successive occurances are very dependent on the prior ones, creating a multiple fail situation.

Instead, you should prepare by plotting out loci of important NPCs and monsters and factions in the area that the adventure is taking place in, the geography, the culture, the politics. Have a good grasp of why people are motivated to do what they're doing, who they are and what they want. Once you have all those pieces in place, it's enormously easy to adjust things on the fly if the PCs do what you don't expect, because you've created a background and can derive new alternatives from it instead of just pulling it out of thin air.

I know some people will say that "If you're good enough at improvising, you can do that anyway without all the prep", but I personally have never seen it., and I've played for a long time. The ones who are "good at improvising" are also the same ones who put a lot of energy and effort into their games, and bring notes to the table.

How do I invent coherent (and engaging) plot goals?

>>44641801
I'm going to "fantasycraft,"even though you said "not class based." I still think you'd like it

>>44641801
Dominion Rules.

>>44641838
OP specifically said not classed based though.

>nobody made a thread

Yes they did but it got archived

And the next ones will be archived too if you people keep shitting on the newbies

Most people who tell how bad 3.5 was never played it. It's just a stupid meme.

>>44641190
I as a GM had a blast allowing it for a game.
Trying to build a coherent world or narrative in a land where people can, via specific arcane methods, become invincible, is fun.

This... and the people who HAVE "played" don't understand the point of Roleplaying, or that the rules are just a suggestion and any GM worth anything will put a stop to blatant exploits.

The good thing about mom is the price, normally a human sized infantry mini is one euro the piece, while an hero is 4 (like the banner-men in pic). The quality is good too, it has minis ideal for Frostgrave, Morheim, Song of Blades and heroes or KoW, or for some WHFB proxies.

Warmonger Miniatures has to have some of the most interesting orcs out there, look at those Not-Landsnechts orcs. Wargames Foundry is a bit pricer (metal minis after all) but has lots of old school cool pieces.

Wargames foundry also has Kevin Adams goblins (Kevin Adams is the one than made the Gw classic goblins if I recall well) he is doing some aweseome ones for crooked claw miniatures.

I think the Imperium would consider that pretty friggin' heretical and be forced to form an actual Crusade through Tau space instead of semi-ignoring them or tossing weak Crusades at them as has been standard practice.

Entire chapters joining Chaos is bad enough. An entire chapter joining the Tau means that the Tau are a much, much larger threat to Imperium stability than has been previously shown, and they're continued existence only makes the problem worse as time goes on. Especially if they determine how to engineer geneseed.

>>44640915
What the fuck.

What the fuck.

WHAT THE FUCK.

Not even Chaos Space Marines would ally themselves with god damn Xenos as servants. Xenos are universally hated by humanity, especially Astartes, even renegade Astartes. The only time Astartes are willing to work with Xenos is in the case of like Chaos Space Marines employing Kroot as cannon fodder. And that's because the Kroot will get slaughtered, and they're employed/enslaved by the Astartes, not swearing fealty to the Kroot mercs.

Your idea is batshit and completely unsupported in the fluff. They'd kill themselves before they sold out to fucking Xenos of all things. Not to mention that Tau space ain't safe at all considering the whole fucking Damocles Gulf just burst into flame.

Why is Zombies!!! so popular? People I know always want to play it, but it's just kinda dull. Is there any expansions that actually makes it fun?

>>44640895
I don't know but it is dull

>>44640959
I kinda feel like the only thing it has going for it is all the little plastic zombies.

Performance combat, tracking the public approval. You can subdivide rolls in 3 different categories:

-Pure skill: playing on an higher level. Raw point gainfor being good at what you do. Medium gain, but hard to be penalized by opponents.

-Performance: being flashy or flamboyant. High point gain, but can be attacked by opponent attempt to discredit, or may have decreased effect based on public composition

-Discredit: like crew battle, you mock or ridicule your opponents on stage. Detracts point from your opponents, and may rise public sympathies

>>44640905
What if there is no opponent?

>>44640960
Probably avoid using the discredit option. There's only the skill and flare to worry about if there's no opponent.

Not really a singular act of rage but a long-standing irritation. My friends has been playing various RPGs for about 9 years, but one of them who I have to say is one of my best friends and I would never kick from the group has always been an issue with his character choices. Now they're never mary sue annoying characters they do stupid shit all the time. What he does is he never plays a character the flows well with the group almost to the point of consciously choosing to take something that doesn't synergize. He never tries to make them the main character or even have a focus on them. I DM'd a campaign one time and tried to force his character to be the main character and he tried as hard as possible to keep his character in the background. when NPCs would ask his opinion on thing that has character would definitely have opinions on he would say he didn't. Justina how are group works in just by circumstance he tends to be the last person to make his character, that in and of itself isn't annoying at all because there's clear reasons why. including that myself and the forever GM and his gf who plays live together so it's usually either him or our other player that makes his character last. What happens I was when everybody's got a clear idea of what the group will need he will still do his own thing and make something that doesn't help. Say we were playing a game where we needed the last person to make a sniper, he would make a hand to hand combat specialist or a non-combatant. We need a talker he makes the combat focus strong silent type. A game of charismatic smugglers he plays a non-combatant politician. It's not a huge deal I guess I just wanted to contribute.

A girl who DMed for me a few years back once threw a catastrophic shit fit in a bar because she lost a game of darts. Like crying and screaming, it was completely embarrassing. I was lucky enough to be on the outside of a group of about 6-7 people so I could casually walk away like I wasn't there and I spent the rest of the night trying to pick up girls.

>>44641565
Would you please rewrite you post with proper grammar? I am having a hard time understanding what you're saying.

They might roll with it, but I doubt they would ever be buddy-buddy.

Delta Green General?

Agent NANCY was a member of Delta Green before she was a ghoul. Furthermore she's mostly a consultant after it happens and they have a pretty good handle on her for the time being (the events of Targets of Opportunity not withstanding).

If Delta Green is knowingly dealing with a full-blown Serpent Man it'll probably be a lot like the way they deal with Stephen Alzis, at arms-length and quietly maneuvering towards a catastrophic take-down that will probably go pear-shaped.

>>44641163
This is the most likely scenario but if you want to have a big twist you could make it so the PCs are the ones that find out Carl is actually a snake and have them decide what to do with the information.

Not the worst I've seen, Leman Russ, Fulgrim, Lorgar, Khan are all solid picks. But Rogal Dorn needs a lot more class and just no to Mortarion.
