Its just a game.
Writers will just call it karma, chaos or some other bullshit to explain all those coincidences.

They are the scalpel.

Owning a scalpel that's in LA when you're in NYC doesn't help much, does it?

Well building a class doesn't work for a classless system now does it?

You're intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor?

>>44604080
Yes. 40k is garbage.

Idea:
A campaign where the players share a gestalt consciousness but also share the same HP and spell slot pool. I. E. One gets damaged and they all get damaged and f one uses a 2nd level spell it's taken from their "pool". The "pool" is made up by adding all of their usual HP and spell slots together.

Not too snowflake. Potentially a mechanical nightmare, though. Try it, get back to us.

No, because he's shit.

>Can you have outright orgies in games to highlight debauchery without it being lewd?
SHIT.
THREAD.

>>44603774
This feels like bait, but I'll take it.

I would say so, provided you focus on the debauchery angle. Don't make your players think about how lewd it is, make them think about a tangle of limbs belonging to old, fat, rich bastards and bitches who are so jaded that this is the only way they can get their rocks off anymore.

>>44603774
W40k has Eldar. Then Eldar had Slaanesh.

Exalted also tends to do this. Ancient mythos is riddled with orgies and sex in general, and since Exalted tries to be based off it, orgies and sex are just part of the setting; it's up to the GM to decide their frequency, intensity, and degree of player involvement though.

I don't think anyone legit hated Vulkan, even in the lore.

>>44603436
Nobody actually hated Vulkan in the lore before the Heresy, and even then Curze only hated him because he couldn't kill him no matter how hard he tried.

The Khan wasn't really a dick, he was simply his own man with his own concept of honor that differed greatly from his brothers. He had his place in the Imperial war machine, and tried to do what he thought was best for his sons, not himself.

Dear Emperor,

Regarding your son, Jaghatai Khan, I have found that his view regarding the fair treatment of Imperial Citizens to be at unease with the Imperial Truth.
His views against women... are frankly barbaric. Viewing them as no more than cattle and grox herd. And one incident involving a female astropath and cane made of Ork topknot hair has left a number of scars with the several factions of the guild.
And regarding his treatment of those who have melanin affliction are mean. He hates his brother, the primarch Vulkan, with a fiery passion, once naming him BBB... the term of which i will not utter without thorough censorship. He also hates whites, which I found disturbing as 99% of Imperial citizens after destroying most of those who possessed impure genetic structure to be suited with inception for Mankind.
Sincerely,
Imperial Cleric Bobbu Kinfetti

Emperors reply:

...Some hates Vulkan? wtf is this shit, gtfo scrub.
No one cares!! >:{

Erm, yes. The current mage contact we have is a quintesntial goodguy. Hells, the entire mages guild is more or less focused on helping the town in one way or another.

It's just rarer to find good guy mages, for precisely the reasons you said. That doesn't mean they don't exist though.

>>44603130
Raging tryhards are often drawn to mechanically powerful classes, and in D&D3.5 et al that happened to be the wizard, that's all there is to that.

>>44603130

I think it's a combination of a few things. First, if you're going to make someone that good, then the temptation is to stick them in a class that reflects it. AKA paladin or cleric.

Second, there's the idea that good mages have been "done to death" a la Gandalf. Of course, the trope is so widely avoided these days that it's no longer true, but that's still the first instinct when people propose it.

Third, there's the fear for NPCs that if you make them a totally good guy that the PCs will walk all over them getting them to do the quest for them or do them favors. "Gimme loot" or "go kill that bad guy for us". A healthy level of haughtiness and risk helps keep the NPC from being a doormat.

Fourth, the typical player character isn't terribly good no matter what the class, unless he's forcibly constrained to be good by rules mechanics or an overbearing DM. And in those cases usually that is only applied to explicitly good classes.

Fifth, power corrupts. Go name a paladin-level good guy politician. Go ahead... I'll wait. Is there any? Back in 2008, Obama was hailed as the Messiah, a superhuman "lightworker" who could heal America's spiritual wounds by sheer power of his own awesomeness. Now, either you believe that all that was a cynical lie to garner votes, or that once in office the pressures of power changed him. Either way, power corrupts. You could easily say the same for any politician, though I can't think of another one who's been upheld as the avatar of all that is good. Most people understand and accept that politicians are morally questionable at best. So are CEOs, religious leaders, leaders of powerful activist groups, university administrators, and celebrities.

So give someone 10-20 levels of wizard, and regardless of who they were when they started out, they'll turn into someone very different.

An additional 30 pts for terminator armor is too high. Necron lychguard with sword and board only cost 30 each. And a squad of them would still shit on terminators even with your buffs

Terminator armor gives 2+/4++ and additional wound. Storm bolters are Salvo 2/4

This is not even bait, it's just nothing.

>>44602333
The similarities are a little suspicious, but I reckon we should wait it out to see how far it goes.

How is it bait? Is it really a coincidence that they do both victorian horror and now lovecraftian horror in the same setting? This is not a regular mixture, anon.
>>44602374
I don't personally mind it, I think it's really fucking cool. But still, are we really just going to get Bloodborne: The Set?

Has there been any spoilers?

You were 100% justified under the tenants of vengeance. Ends justify the means is the rule of the day.

You're good, man. Vengeance often demands you do questionable things. However, I wouldn't be surprised if someone else became a paladin of vengeance to exact revenge on you for releasing said evil. And I would giggle a bit if he ended up releasing some sort of evil in pursuit of said revenge, causing someone ELSE to become a paladin of vengeance, perpetuating the great cycle of destruction, revenge, and releasing evil on the world.

You aren't a "Greater Good" Paladin, you aren't a "Justice and Honor" Paladin you aren't a "Tea and Cupcakes" Paladin, you are Vengeance Paladin.

You swore Vengeance and anything that gets you closer to that Vengeance is KEEPING to your Oath.

It's like TFS Vegeta says.
