I've worded up the wife to get me Team Yankee for Christmas.
A few of the locals here in canberra are talking about playing it in 6mm. Not to sure if i'll jump on that band wagon or not. Thoughts?

>>44219533
hope the wife doesn't find the novel?

>>44219533
I've only played 2 small demo games of Team Yankee so far, and I am enjoying it.

As for scale, I prefer 15mm myself. I've always found 6mm to be incredibly tiny.

But I say to go with whatever option actually gets you playing the game.

Having opponents to play against is pretty important.

The resulting lack of plant life makes the air too thin for complex life.

The Zaron desert is located on the third planet from the sun, life is abundant on the fourth one.

>>44345005

A radical faction from the 4th planet has spent years raising resources for a colony to be placed in the Zaron desert. The first colonists have just landed.

Recap:

Previously you found out that your boss had lost a massive bet on the underground mech battling circuit. Seeing him faced with the prospect of having his balls cut off by an angry Russian, you decided to cheer him up with booze and cocaine. He then accompanied you on your final assignment for him: clearing out a snake infestation from a Noah’s Ark themed amusement park beneath the Tsing Ma Bridge. On arrival you found that the “snakes” were actually overgrown centipedes and were nearly ensnared by large sessile creatues living in the trashfilled pools outside the Ark itself.

Inside the Ark you discovered abandoned creationist exhibits that seemed to contain operational surveillance equipment as well as more centipedes, this time outfitted with electronic devices that seemed to control their movements. They chased you into the second floor food court, where you fortified your position and prepared a trap while attempting to decide whether to escape or delve deeper into this obviously still inhabited theme park.

From last threads winning roll:

>Get the biggest metal container. Light a fire under it.
>Pour all your caustic chemicals in the container.
>take any intact glass bottles you find and fill them with oil and a rag. Make molotovs. Fire >extinguishers that have as much glass shards as you can wrapped around them hidden near the doors.

Gathering whatever ancient flammable trash you can, you create two beds of crap in front of both the two main entrances to the food court, planting trashcans at their center and pouring all the different cleaning chemicals and some oil and grease inside before locking their lids shut. Any remaining oil you use to douse the ground beneath the cans and make 3 molotov coktails, which you split between yourself and Devlinson.

You secure broken glass dipped in volcano sauce to all of your fire extinguishers and plant them near the doors. You think this is very ironic.

Take position where?

Gods die if they get killed. That's the way it should be.

>>44344760
But how do you kill your gods?

>>44344722
The God of Death, one of the two primevals, will kill them if they desire to cease to exist, or strip them of their powers and grant them an afterlife like the other beings of the realm.

Black Templars are better.

Go suck Rowboat Girlyman's faggot cock a bit more OP, his undead body in stasis might come down your throat if you keep sucking at it so furiously.

I would like to remind you young man that 4chan is a christian site and this sort of language won't be tolerated.

I don't. What the fuck?

>>44344392
I refer to the billion other threads in which this question or one very similar to it was asked.

>>44344392
I go contact the nice men in the white coats so they can take away whomever suggested it and maybe we can finally get some work done around here

Plan only bullet points and occasional set pieces.
Realize there is a difference between railroad and manipulating your players into falling into your hands. Let the players do as they will, but go along with what is important as a centerpiece.
Make sure each pc gets some attention, both part of the group and individually. The players should offer a little about who and what their character is, and what they want, and you should work that into the game, as either goals or a hinge to involve them.
Do not be afraid to call the official GM 2 minute break if you need to think, rather than stumble forward into shit.

>>44342244
about to be doing the same with 6 new players
never GM'd before in my life

read through rule book a few times and am currently just building a hometown, BBEG lair, main hub, and littering the rest of the landscape with mini dungeons.

I'd recommend just generating a short list of monsters before every game with the necessary stats for an encounter. Skellingtons, wolves, goblins, whatever you think they can handle

Fortunately, you and the shifter share one thing in common, an understanding of asserting dominance through single combat. With it being the least costly option for you, and the only option for the taciturn shifter alpha whose name you still don't know, the two of you have squared off in a wide circle between your forces to settle this once and for all. The shifter alpha, still wearing her elven form, showing signs of her heritage in the yellow glow of her eyes, her sharp teeth, and now in the rather more blatant panther claws she's just sprouted in place of hands, crouches low, watching you, studying you, waiting for some slight slip-up which will be her chance to make the first move.

So what now, Chieftain?

The lore says Chaos.

Feel free to disagree with the lore and throw tantrums. It's what salty xenofags love to do.

>>44341399
I'd say Chaos.
While Nids and Necrons are more directly powerful and each fully capable of wiping out the galaxy, they're both external threats. They can be detected, escaped, avoided, and identified fairly easily (save for genestealers, of course). It's physically possible, though impossibly unlikely, for the Imperium to separate themselves completely from both, and exist alone.

Chaos is an internal threat. By it's nature, it cannot be avoided or evaded entirely, only held back. Chaos has a foothold on every human world by virtue of humans being there. Chaos is pervasive and inescapable. The Imperium cannot distance itself from it, because they drag it with them as they flee.

>>44341399
Seeing how the plot never advances and the Imperium will forever remain in charge of most of the galaxy by virtue of stasis, none of them.

Orks are as derp as any other 40k faction.

>>44340052
That sounds boring.

Let's make it a tower with at least a hundred levels, each floor roughly the size of the universe. At the top, you get granted your greatest wish, but nobody has ever made it.

>>44340052

Why would a character want that much gold if they're not allowed to leave?

>>44340113
Or have the tower go down into the earth.
It never ends, it simply makes less and less sense the further you travel.

>>44340051
Lawful good bullywug with fighter/whatever the halfway decent equivalent of fighter is levels
If it were 3.5 I'd say warblade levels, definitely.

>>44340189
Well right off the bat, I was thinking fighter/sorcerer/cleric.
The majority of the cast are sorcerers to some degree and he uses quite a few healing abilities.

>>44340051
Grippli Paladin.
You mean it wasn't obvious?
If Paladin isn't your jam, then you could always go Magus or Warpriest.

>>44339783
If that's all you can whine about then it will be a nice game I reckon.

>micro warp-jumps
seem op
but they sorta nail the Gothic architecture

>>44339868
Micro warp-jumps is a pretty big thing. The warp is, if you don't know, a pretty major aspect of the Warhammer universe, and in 40k making a warp-jump is a major undertaking that takes time and cannot be made near gravitational wells.

The only thing I can think of is them having equipped the entire ship with an enormous shunt pack for teleportation, which means that they're flinging their entire crew and a ship that takes up to a hundred years or so to build miles upon miles through the warp largely unprotected, using unheard-of archeotech that is suddenly commonplace.
