The back end of the ship lifts upwards, lurching you and Leomon around, as enormous squid-like tentacles wrap around the back end of the boat, tugging it downwards into the ocean, while a three eyed demonic face looms behind the boat, raking enormous, clawed hands down the length of the cruiser.

Another jostling of the boat shakes you out of the pool, as it get’s angled higher out of the water, now nearly fifty degrees from horizontal and being shaken about roughly.

Numemon are trying to cling on for dear life, hurrying inside, or grabbing onto railings, as the squid demon’s claws bust out the windows.

Leomon grabs you, curling you close to his body in one arm as he slips down the deck, digging his claws into the wood to act as brakes, before landing on top of the steering room, or rather, landing on the side of the steering room, as you now stand on top of the outwards wall and peering in at the Numemon staff through the forwards facing window below you.

“What the heck does he even waaaaant?” The Numemon captain blubbers, clutching onto his Napoleon hat as he gets flung around the room, bouncing off walls, the steering wheel and other Numemon.

>Gotta get inside, Casey’s near the back end of the ship.
>Leomon, reckon you can get rid of this guy?
>Let’s try and talk things out with him, demon’s can be reasonable. Right?

Leomon on point, he tires something he get smacked.

Have a Numemon go get reverse trap, I mean Casey.

they don't they're holding out to create a god of death that will free them from slannesh influence.
The catch is that all the elder need to die first

>>44471066
The simple answer is to steal their children and indoctrinate them into being shock troopers. Those that don't take can be fed to the Emperor.

They can at least get to building one Empire.

Is it bad that I'm regularly daydreaming of being an eldar outcast, formerly on the path of the healer and artisan, setting out full of youthful naïvety and belief in the goodness of all creatures, meeting and falling in love with an imperial guardsman, watching him from afar, protecting him from dangers until finally we meet and engage in forbidden lovewhereupon he is found out and summarily executed for heresy I and tearfully become more and more jaded and cynical with the world, ending up in the typical eldar disdain as I return, broken to the craftworld?

I'm considering the possibility of using d6 dice pools rather than the d20 roll-under since i'm using a stats-heavy system anyways, is there anything i should take in account when designing dice pools, like limits or how often hits and misses go?

Only dice pool games i've played have been shadowrun and vampire and i can't remember shit about vampire

I will dump my homebrew and make you a deal, /hbg/: give me some feedback, and you can email your PDF to [email protected] and you WILL get some good feedback, I promise. Though it might take a little while.

i have made a 2d6 roll under system that is similar to GURPS. I am curious how much shit it is. I am guessing a lot.

I made it because 2d6 roll-under was faster to roll than 2d6+adds and allowed me to do stat + skill more easily.

I want to implement a Toughness / Wounds system like that in Savage Worlds, or in the d6 system such as MiniSix. Dunno quite how to do that. Would it be weird seeing as the system is roll-low but damage would be roll-high? I guess it would be either way.

My problems with what I've made so far:

> you have to do some formula to derive base melee damage from Strength
> opposed rolls suck in roll under systems
> dodge against ranged attacks is annoying

I'll dump my previous homebrew for comparison. It's main flaws were lack of stats (Strength as a skill felt weird for various reasons) as well as just a general emptiness to the character / creature stats.

For example a character was basically:

Novice Legolas
Skills: Shooting 3, Awareness 1
Traits: Elf

There was no way to represent a clumsy zombie or weak kobold. I wanted stats ranging 1 to 3 but the choice was either all-physical stats, or having mental stats that were basically useless. Or having Intelligence as a stat, but getting rid of character points and having separate pools of points.

SO I ASK:

/hbg/, do you like character points ("you get 100 character points to build your character"), or do you like separate point allocation systems ("you get 4 points for attributes, 5 points for skills, etc").


Also, for an autofire system, would you prefer multiple rolls at a penalty, or a small bonus to hit, and extra hits depending on margin of success? What if it was a 2d6 system? 1d10 system? Rolling 2d6 over and over and adding a bunch of modifiers feels slow. Yet autofire as a bonus to hit feels unrealistic and makes "spraying and praying" the best option with an automatic weapon most times. When in reality it isn't.

The autofire mechanic is important because it has a lot of bearing on whether I use a single die or multi-die system. Because 3d6+adds is fine if there aren't a lot of attacks floating around. But if you are making many attacks, you don't want to spend hours adding 3d6 + a bonus + penalties + any other modifiers. That was part of what I loved about Savage Worlds: you just read your result right off the dice. Then they added a ton of modifiers and kinda screwed that up.

I'm 50/50 on whether bait or not, but they're not werewolves to attract the Twilight crowd, the Twilight crowd doesn't play /tg/

Having said that, yes, they've been flanderised. They need a wipe back to 2e/3e lore and characterisation.

Sure, if you run it well. Same goes for almost anything.

What do your players do in this world?

>>44458846
Search for God of course.

Cut down all the demons that thought to usurp his throne.

Discover hidden hamlets of strange folk, people half a man tall and stout of build who say they have lived for five hundred winters or more. Heresy for sure, but their weaponcrafts are beyond anything else.

Cut down subaquatic giants with blades made of blood that dissolve in sunlight, but their gold is as good as any's.

Sell your bodys to seductresses in dark caves in exchange for forbidden knowledge on how to save your people.

>Aspect Lord-Shrine: The Battlehost must include three Aspect Warrior units from a single Aspect (this may not include Crimson Hunters, and must be the same Aspect across all Pale Courts Battlehosts in this army), and is required to field only 0-3 Guardian units. No Dire Avenger Shrine Formations may be included as part of this Detachment, UNLESS the chosen Aspect is that of the Dire Avenger

If you chose Dires as your core choice Aspect then yes, you get the bonus.

The food court that Luca has led you in is still slightly active, even this late in the afternoon. He patiently shows you how to order your own food and where to pick it up. After you get over your extreme bewilderment of the free of charge system, the two of you find seats to enjoy your meal.

“Non-human anatomy and physiology?!” You repeat his words after barely swallowing a large mouthful of food.

“That’s my focus.” He answers, eating much more politely than you are.

What the hell is he doing on the squad?

“You wondering why I was chosen to be on the squad, right?” He smiles deviously.

Crap. You nod slightly, pretending to be busy chewing.

Luca stares off to the side. “I wonder that myself…” He waves to a small group of people passing by, who seem to be interested in who you are. Luca seems to waiting until they are out of earshot.

You ignore the stares and stop eating for a moment. “You mean, they haven’t explained it to you yet?”

He slowly shakes his head. “I arrived here with a note to meet the Vice Admiral. I went to his office and was told that I was being placed on one of his squads because of exam results.”

…

[2/3]

>>44470453

He sighs and continues. “He went on to say that everything I needed would be provided for me free of charge.” He pokes at his food, absentmindedly. “I didn’t question it at the time, and a few days later, happily began going on missions. All of them were scouting remote locations: high cliffs, deep caves, and underwater.” He pauses for a moment. “You think they would’ve scouted the whole planet by now, or if not, why train someone like me to do so?”

By now you’ve almost entirely forgotten about your food.

“Sounds familiar?” He asks, reading your expression.

“Yeah…” You lean back in your seat.

“After wondering, 'Why me?' for a while, I tried several times to ask what the purpose is, but I was always ignored.” He pauses. “This most recent time…I was told not to bring it up anymore, especially in front of you.”

What in the hell…

He hastily waves, apologetically.“I’m really sorry if I’m dumping a lot on you.” He leans forward. “But I wanted to know what you thought.”

You rub the back of your head. Isn’t that kind of a standard thing, to not let the lower guys in on all the details? It all sounds strange like this, but there must be an explanation for why they need non-soldiers in the squad, right?

>"I don't think we should worry about things like that. We're just students."

>"I'm not sure what I think anymore."

>Write in.

>>44470536
>>"I'm not sure what I think anymore."
Keep our eyes open is all I can say. Something is fishy.

Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place in the years Frieza controlled Planet Vegeta, as the Saiyans grow in strength and try to find a way to free themselves.

Voting will operate on a first to five system, at least for the time being.

Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)

During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.

If a 100 is rolled, it is considered a crit success (unless 100 was the number you had to match).

If a 1 is rolled, it is a crit failure, regardless of whether or not the other two rolls are high enough to succeed.

If, during a battle, players want to attempt a writein action, that is allowed, but I am the one who will assign the number to it, so use caution

You're a young male Saiyan who fought in the war with the Tuffles. You've become one of the most powerful Saiyans in the universe, but there's still potential for you to grow stronger.

Power Levels (as of the start of this thread)

http://pastebin.com/HDXfeTkM

You consider calling the others for help over the scouter. But, you know that there's very little they'd be able to do to help you now.

You're wounded, you had your body stolen only to get it back at a major disadvantage in this fight. Despite all the power you've obtained, you lost the chance to defeat Ginyu, and now you, and everyone else is going to die.

The worst part of it, though? You know you have the power to crush Ginyu, but you just can't access it.

>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5kEYa8jYmg

You won't die like this. After everything you've done, everything you've suffered, you refuse to be killed here and now by this body-snatching freak.

You let out a yell that turns into a scream of pure rage and emotion, as something deep within you ignites. Energy shoots out all around you flattening trees and causing electricity to shoot up into the sky, cracking thunderously all around you as Ginyu stops short, staring at you in confusion and wariness.

A golden pillar of light surrounds you, climbing high into the atmosphere, and almost appearing as a light from heaven. The ground beneath you trembles, and cracks form all around you, chunks of rock rising into the air and disintegrating into atoms as you let out a final howl that echoes through the forest.

You're surrounded by a bright golden glow, your muscles have grown, and you feel a power that can only be described as godlike.

Rugula was right after all, it seems.

You've become a Super Saiyan.

"W-what? What's happened to you now?" Ginyu asks, sounding nervous.

>A. Attack him

>B. You don't know

>C. You've become a Super Saiyan

>D. Something else

>In WHFRP1 you can become a rune master thing. It's illegal, though.
>You can totally become a human runesmith except you can't.
>Again what

What he means is - in 1ed WFRP, the released Dwarfs: Stone and Steel. In this supplement they went in depth in the Runesmithing business.

It was revealed that Runesmithing is SRS BIZNES. Not something to be shared, shown or revealed to outsiders. Except a human figured it out.

This human then went on to make his own brand of shoddy runes. Wherever these runes pop up, or rumours of a non-dwarfen runesmith are heard, the dwarfs come crashing down like an anvil.

So you CAN play as a human runesmith - but dwarfs will actively hunt you down.

tl;dr - He meant illegal in the setting, not the system.

>>44469564
>>Good and Evil - Objective or Subjective. Which suits WFRP better?
They are subjective, but chaos is objectively evil, such is the result of the modern, corrupted state of the warp.

>When is the best time period to use for the WFRP setting?
Post-StormO'Chaos, as per default. It is a very logical place to start, since the post-war Old World presents ideal adventure-readiness: the forces of Chaos are scattered, and that means monsters to kill and villages to save but in numbers that require small parties rather than large armies.

>Runesmiths - Unbalanced, or as good as Wizards?
Wizards kind of suck, I would say runesmiths are better.

>Good and Evil - Objective or Subjective. Which suits WFRP better?
In Warhammer, everybody is evil.

“Well we should do something for New Years. As a team, y'know?” Dolah nods.

The two of you get up from your table in the back and gather your companions in the center of the bar before discussing New Years with them.

“Well, let's see.” Quissonce starts. “I was talking to Ed about this recently and he said that this year Seaside was actually going to indulge in New Years celebrations for the first time ever. The entire main street is going to be lined with games, performances and vendors hawking tchotchkes.”

Gabby continues it. “Barkeep over there said at around sunset The Sword and Shield is going to bust out the good stuff. The shit they usually rarely sell because it's pretty damn expensive and they're going to be practically giving it away.” She salivates in anticipation.

Eve finishes it off. “Finally, in the dead of night, come the fireworks display, made by the Archmage herself. We're talking spectacle. We're talking magic. We're talking explosions. Light. Up. The. Night. Boom, it's going to be glorious!”
