That's a vague question which could have a number of answers depending on what you meant.
>power source/engine
>form of propulsion, which in most cases will require the above
>food supplies
>fuel supplies (if the engine needs fuel)
>ammo supplies
etc. etc.
Food could be dealt with by having it be unmanned. Ammo and potential mechanical failures (for example, failure of one of the engines) could be dealt with by having some sort of onboard manufactorum that can create parts using basic materials the ship gathers or keeps onboard. Power source...there are a lot of options when it comes to power sources. Could have a nuclear reactor, or if your setting is in the far future, a compact fusion reactor.
I think at this point though I'm just describing a Von Neumann probe.

An insane amount of power. And according to calculations, the helicarrier from Avengers would strip the land below it if it ever got below a certain altitude.

That implies that they completely fuck up migratory birds, air currents, and air traffic.

Without getting into -4 STR shitposting, how does the female body work? How strong can they get and, purely based on their physical ability, how capable would a woman be of functioning in a military unit?
>Inb4 "adventurers are exceptional"
A lot of fantasy settings also have highl(over?)representation of women as nameless soldiers.

Lots of women could function in military units, the biggest issue with having females in the military would be sexual rather than their ability.
Holding formation and being skilled with weapons is what is important in soldiers, but having females in a camp mostly full of guys in a time like that is a recipe for disaster.
Depends how grim/realistic you want your setting though.
In a world where there are dragons and wizards having females with equal representation in military aspects is something that really shouldn't bother you.

Through combination of serving right people, being utterly ruthless and determined, and sheer dumb luck, my warrior was awarded by the king with some lands, noble title and some treasure. Now I got heavy GM hints that it is time to settle down and instead of murderhobo game have a bit of Game of Thrones game (he is a fan). My problem is that I couldn't care less about that type of game and my warrior doesn't have any governing skills anyway (Leadership and Tactics don't count). I can't refuse king's gift, and he somewhat relies on me. My party's opinions mixed, but mostly they want to use my castle as base of operations. What to do?

There is only one option: Diplomacy at the end of your blade. Invite everyone in, and find the best reasons to kill them. When you have no quarry, stalk around like a caged rat. Keep sating your lust of blood until you either die trying or have won the campaign atop a mountain of corpses, and long hail your new imperial empire. Immediately launch the war train to the neighboring lands.

I would tell the GM "I don't want to play that kind of game. I would rather continue adventuring than settle down and gather dust: isn't there any way to do that?

>>44601322
Get the castle, make smiley time with the other nobles, fuck off to the frontier at the first opportunity.

The stench of alcohol and thick narcotic fumes permeated the "Nuclear Mug", some kind of clandestine bar-whorehouse-thing that The Boss set up to host his harem of bounty hunters and sluts.
You where sitting among the other tryhard bastards with big guns and robotic prosthetics in the group of sofas that faced a large blank screen in the middle of it all. At around this time and day of the week (sometimes sooner, sometimes later), a list of names, faces, and an amount of credits would appear on it. Bounties.
Bored from trying to guess how many liters of silicon each of the ladies carried around, you decide to give your equipment a checkup, making sure that the battery and oil levels were all in decent shape.
Choose three.
>Laser rifle: A machinegun-type ranged weapon, powered by your suit's main battery.
>Shrapnel launcher: A shotgun-type ranged weapon, powered by your suit's main battery.
>Energy blade: A highly destructive sword with an edge made of energy.
>ArmorDoc Module: This adds a self-repair module to your suit in the shape of a small pink metallic heart. It can speak in an annoyingly high-pitched female voice with a japanese accent, and inform you about the status of your armor.
>Stealth Module: At the expense of draining your suit's power at a ridiculous speed, you can become temporarily completely undetectable by sight or hearing.
>Sense Module: Adds thermal and night vision, as well as the ability to zoom in like a sniper scope. These features are powered by your suit.
>Drone: A robot shaped like a weasel that can deploy a set of four propellers and fly.
>Brain Implant: Allows you to remotely communicate with electronics within a 10m radius.
>Write in: No guarantees, but if it's reasonable, I'll accept it.
By default, you also have a backpack, a smartphone, some cash and a motorcycle.

1. It's public domain /tg/ meme.
2. It's not intended to be finished any more 40k's plot is intended to have closure.
This way every Anon can pretend that during his battles the couple is living happily on a cottage on an exodite world or is being tortured by the inquisition or devoured by slaneesh, as they prefer.

When you multi-class do you normally use one character sheet or do you start a whole new one?

Setting help?
I'm working on a setting for a game i'm going to run during mid-1800's america that revolves around an alternate reality where all the pseudosciences and crazy shit people thought up during the time turn out to be right.
Anyone know some pretty interesting/wild ideas during the time period that I could incorporate? Already adding in phrenology (pictured), animal magnetism, spontaneous generation and aether for science concepts, as well as mammoths and mountains of salt in the louisiana territory, hollow earth with mole people inside, moon men and the planet vulcan.

Edison was working on a machine to contact the spirit world. Kellog had all kinds of crazy ideas regarding nutrition. People were also starting to go nutty over electricity, which was seen as a cure all. Speaking of cure alls, snake oil traveling shows would also be in full swing.
Out of curiosity, what system are you using?
>>
Read the Sons of Ether tradition book for Mage the Ascension. They're 1800's science incarnate.
Also add in Zeppelins! The soul was also just starting to be examined back then. People were trying to measure it and shit. X-Rays weren't really a 1800's thing but yeah, that's something. Radiation was huge in general.
Can we get a scenery thread going?
I'm especially looking for anything fitting the turn-of-the-century early 1900s feel. I'll post all I have.

Tridents require metallurgy. Metallurgy requires reliably produced heat. Reliably produced heat requires the ability to start fire. The ability to start fire requires not living underwater. Where did King Triton get his trident and crown?

Excuse me, Brother-Captain, but I've been reading up on the ancient pre-Emperor lore of Holy Terra. I've come across the Greco-Roman myth of the chimera: part lion, part snake, and part goat. I can see why a lion and snake are dangerous, but why a goat?

It's a symbolic thing. Goats, with how they eat everything, ruin fertile fields and turn them into wastelands. So they're associated with destruction, even if they're not particularly deadly. It's to represent how the chimera is not just a monster but an abomination that ruins the world by its mere presence.

The goat is frightening to the common man as its head is on the same level as their crotch, and armed with durable horns. You likely do not know of this particular discomfort, as you have never had any testicles, Brother Leandros.
Also, Heresy.
BLAM.

>>44596870
Ramming horns, giving the creature multiple avenues of attack each beast composing it lacks. The goat head can ram its foes, the lion can bite and claw, and the snake can bite and constrict. They should've added poisonous stingers or something. Would make for an incredible challenge, brother.

How do I make a self-sustaining society filled with idiots and the insane?
I want to have a horde of technologically superior mad inventors in my fantasy campaign, and I want it to be so hilarious it's frightening and so frightening it's hilarious.
Basically, picture an army of engineers that browse 4chan, have them making and improving Besiege-like mechanical monstrosities and going 'cross the countryside on a steam-powered warpath.
But aside from pretty much mastering the art of incredibly convoluted and superfluous superweapons, they also act like a bunch of pyschos who constantly try to one up each other, all the while being cheeky cunts about. Imagine if you will one hundred Sith participating in a prank war where the only rule is to win.
My problem is, how does this society not fall apart after a week and a half? Some kind of guideline/constitution/code of conduct they all live by that keeps them from going full retard? All of them working towards a common purpose? Do they just like the company of like minded individuals?
Also, post more ideas. This concept is very vague at the moment, as I only had the idea of it while watching these two videos:
