bumping with giant cock

What's a good basic Empire setup for X-Wing? TIE swarms give me a headache. I was thinking maybe two /fo and an Interceptor. What should I add?

So I can get more opionins.

I want to make a TIE Interceptor list but every example I've found includes a TIE Advanced and a PalpShuttle, I can't afford either of those at the moment but own just about every other TIE ship, what would work?

I tried once, although it was meant as part of a larger campaign.

Long story short, the party was in a country where slavery had been recently legalized.
>Party is serving a noble in this country in order to build alliances.
>While the party is there, I drop all sorts of hints that things aren't what they seem. Slaves whispering in suspicious tones, rumors of rebellion from the commoners, signs that the nobles are brutally executing dissenters and using the military on their own citizens, ect.
>Plan is to have one of the slaves murder this noble, and then when the party investigates, have them get offered a position in the rebellion or the country's military command structure to put down the rebellion.

Anyway... when I put my plan into action, the players went full-retard, instantly assumed another noble did it, marched over to his manor with no proof, slaughtered everyone there (including the innocent servants and slaves), and started looting things like common criminals. They ended up being wanted criminals with huge bounties by both the military and rebels after that.

Did I mention they completely ignored the investigation part of the story arc and pretty much did all this on no evidence?

Yeah... if you're running any kind of mystery, be prepared for unforseen player jackass'ery the minute they get bored or think killing someone would be more entertaining lulz.

Then again, this was an online game, not an IRL one, so I probably should have expected this from internet randoms.

>>44623721
Damn, I'm sorry your campaign was such a tragedy, because that seems like a pretty well thought out storyline that could have been quite fun.

Mine will be in person with bros, and we all enjoy watching shows like Criminal Minds and Law & Order (and more recently Making a Murderer), so I figured the guys would enjoy something like this since we haven't gotten together for a good game of D&D lately.

I would like to either set up some sort of murder mystery, or maybe have the party play as a group of ragtag volunteers for the town hold's royal guard and have them solve some sort of corruption mystery.

>>44623640

I tried once but one of my players is literally a federal criminal investigator in the murder division and she could see through all my bullshit plots from a mile away so I went back to hack and slash.

Last session I stole the quest macguffin from the cleric while he was sleeping. He hasn't realized it yet.

Otherwise no.

>>44622312
Yes.
I trust (most of) my groupmates that they would not metagame with that, I do it for extra immersion.

>>44622312
Pic related I assume?

I have a secret, yeah. My blood is a powerful neuromuscular blocking agent, aka a poison that paralyzes those that breathe it: it's also highly volatile. Those who stand near me once I bleed have to roll a fort save or else they risk to become paralyzed for a short while.

My group hasn't discovered it yet.

>People don't like Superman
>Characters need large obvious 'flaws' to make them interesting

No.

>>44620966
>>44620956
Superman has huge flaws, what are you talking about? The only superman really without flaws was silverage, and we haven't seen that shit in decades.

Honestly it's more about a character being relatable than them having flaws. A perfect being really is hard to relate to in a narrative.

>>44621013
This isn't it either. A character being 'relatable' or 'flawed' does not make them good. In order to be good, all that is required of a character is that he be interesting.

People keep trying to shove this stupid idea that in order for a character to be good he has to be flawed and tragic and 'something I can relate to' and yet the public keeps eating up characters who are larger then life, have few flaws, and are barely relatable.

Relatability and 'flawedness' are both terrible metrics for judging characters.

Depends on what exactly you mean by "lower."

On the one hand, armies no longer campaign on months-long forced marches in absolutely shitty conditions that kill more people through disease and poor hygiene than the enemy does.

On the other, you gotta move fast or you're dead, and volunteer armies and the sheer destructive nature and complexity of modern combat means that nations can afford to have much higher standards than "call up the poor people."

Also, combat load for the common infantryman is heavier than it's ever been because of the sheer volume of shit they have to carry.

>>44597242
Since it seems everyone has their rule questions answered, what have you created inside the game so far. Clans , new locations , adventures

>>445936
Would be GM's; if a player wanted his clanner to be a corpse eater (worms and all) would you allow it?

>>44597386
I would let any character turn to cannibalism in a pinch.
I would not allow a concept built on such an obvious fetish. If the player designs a clan that incorporates cannibalism into a non fetishy culture, that's fine.

the result would be a lot of tacticool bullshit.

But, IF, and its obviously an if that will never happen, such a scenario were to take place, its a pretty good bet to say that the first decade or two of us would see a very rapid abandoning of most of the tacticool bullshit, and people reverting to medieval designs - because they WORK.

after a few decades, when people have regained experience of using those weapons, then you'd likely start to see more innovations.

till then, it would likely be copies, with only the materials changed (ie, polymers for grips, instead of leather)

>>44627146
There was a show on that. Some scrawny welder, and some dumpy teacher.
Compared old styles vs new.

The new stuff won. Always.

Polarm gun.

Why? Instead concerning yourself with YET ANOTHER european mythology you could reach to way more interesting cultures.

>>44623637
thanks for the reply but if I wanted to know more about other "more interesting" cultures I would ask about them

>>44623637
>more interesting cultures

Fuck off. Europe has a deep rich culture of its own.
You should probably sell off your computer and swear off internet if you prefer the kind of cultures that lead you to stoning your wife to death, cutting off someones hands or shitting in the streets.

>>44623222
Little ear socks, maybe? Which could fall under the "look silly" clause, but could also be really cute.

>>44623310
They should be in bright colours and have little pompoms on the end.

Fluffy ear muffs, except more oval in shape.

its a work in progress.
So far, it just grants class features from the Paladin and AntiPali (smite and lay on hands), Barbarian (Rage and a Rage Power), Rogue (Trapsense and Sneak Attack), Cleric (Channel Energy and Turn Undead) and Magus (Spell Combat and Spellstrike using psionic powers)

The other problem is its very MAD as hell but I don't want to make a one-stat wonder archetype like the PsyArm.

fantasycraft is better in literally every single way

>>44619442
other than of course being playable.

Walmart, plz. You got your ass handed to you by a little girl with a hero complex and her almost-incest life partner cousin.
In other words, we attack him directly because he's built his entire empire on his own personal strength and a personal defeat will crumple the entire thing like the flimsy house of cards that it is.

>>44619043
We're only level 6 right now so yeah, kneel, toe the line, etc until opportunities arise.

We are nothing if not pragmatic.

Challenge him to single combat.

Lose.

With dying breath, declare he will never win.

>>44617904
Doesn't Night kill scion tokens though? Blight herder is pretty crummy when he doesn't bring friends.

>>44618013
Gotta beat Affinity somehow

Warping Wail seems interesting

I dunno, probably an old Playboy or something.
