How would you do this in a campaign?
>>44255500
I've actually done this in a SAVAGE world game. Its really pretty simple.
>nanomachines son
They consume flesh and bone and convert it to a corresponding synthetic material. Bone is consumed and turned into a super-dense carbon nanotube structure, the brain made into a self replicating and repairing processing unit and the flesh is a sort of nanobot swarm.
>>44255500
Robot kits that retrofit corpses. Newly animated bodies go around collecting dead bodies and retrofitting them. Eventually go about making corpses.
None of this "a bit turns you into one" cliche. They drag bodies off to little impromptu zombie factories. When their populations start getting bug they differentiate and make specialised units for building, collecting, defending, and leadership.
Zombies link to each other wirelessly but have limited range and must build network bridges to extend the network. Bridges are made of giant piles of wired together brains.

>Are you doing a Christmas Special?
The timeline my quest-universe is working in means that heading into December for a Christmas Special would skip too many plot points and get too confusing.
However, I am planning for what I'm hoping will be an interesting one-shot Christmas special not involving any of the ghouls or anons but taking place in the same setting...
Also, was anyone involved in the CURSED GAME last night?
> Would you buy your QM a Christmas present?
Hell, if i had the money, why not?
Also, is there any place i can get a resume of Joker's Quest? Or do i need to read all the threads in the archive? Because i really liked the plot 'til thread 50 or something, but there's way to many threads to read.
>Would you buy your QM a Christmas present?
If I weren't totally broke, and my QM wasn't a total shitter, maybe?
On another note, what in your opinion is the best Quest ruleset?
The thread is dead. Long live the thread.
Given that the CofD core book is out, now, I think it's a good time to discuss the new Dread Powers system. What kinds of beasts have you made with it, so far?

What's your OC donut steel Chapter/Warband/etc? What's their story?
Post em here
The Lords of Shadow are a chapter that focuses on stealth as well as guerilla warfare, using their swift yet devastating strikes to end engagements as soon as possible. Descending from the Raven Guard, they inherited a lot of their parent chapters quirks, yet developed a few of their own. A mutation in their gene seed has caused their skin to become a sickly, pale grey and their eyes to become completely black. Though simply cosmetic changes, the Lords still tend to wear helmets most of the time, in order not to create any unneeded disruptions between them and the more puritan chapters. Cont.
>>44248531
The Lords of Shadow are led by Chapter Master Atlas Elgris who, in contrary with the chapters tactics, goes into battle wearing an ancient suit of golden terminator armor. Though the sheen of the gold has long since dulled, he wears it as a resolution, and to mock the opposing forces. "Here I stand, alone, resolute, content to grind you into the dust beneath my feet. Come at me Xenos, Heretics and Devils, the Emperor protects and I show no fear." When the provocation is met, that's when the full force of the Lords of Shadow strike.
The chapter is used primarily to raid xenos and chaos worlds, preferring to only battle on their own terms. They set the stage with numerous strikes against the planet's infrastructure, bombing and assassinating whom they need in order to sow enough chaos (metaphorical, not literal) so they can strike while the enemy is still trying to collect itself.
The Solar Blades were founded in the 22nd founding, allegedly an Ultramarine successor, they have little ties to the original chapter, bearing none of the iconography nor being close to the chapter in culture. The chapter takes pride in their geneseed purity, but they're quite secretive about it and its composition.
Tactically, the Solar Blades are well versed in most forms of warfare, but specialize in infantry and personal combat prowess. In further divergence form the standard chapter, they're also masters of cooperation, working well with the Imperial Guard, Sisters of Battle, and even the Inquisition to a degree other marines cannot replicate. They refuse to let civilians come to harm if they can prevent it, and this results in them being idolized by your standard imperial citizen.
The chapter puts a great deal of importance on appearance and culture, which furthers their ability to work alongside other imperial forces.
The chapter colors are white and sky blue, and their symbol is crossed swords over a star.
Hello /tg/, I have heard you're the best board to ask about stuff like this. I've been reading up on werewolves, and while a lot of it is applicable here, how would you do weredragons? As in, people who are cursed to turn into a big beastial half man, half dragon monster.
I was thinking they'd have a step in between where they'd seem to be more human with dragon features for a strength and durability boost, but under times of extreme emotional distress would turn into a full weredragon monster. Is this a dumb idea?

Okay, just to be clear, did you mean that you could invest 5 points into a skill, plus an additional point in up to 3 specializations?
>>44247641
Up to 5 points total in any skill. Specializations cost 1 skill point each, and you can only buy a total of 3 different specializations at character creation. Specializations bought do not have to be for the same skill, but you can put all three into different specializations for the same skill if you want.

If they align with our own she could be a powerful ally, and should be reasoned with to avoid further conflict.
Otherwise we will resist and attempt to destroy her, and if we cannot, flee and make sure she never leaves that ship.

The most popular way to bring characters from different clans together is to have the players all be Emerald Magistrates. Either they already are Emerald Magistrates, or the become them at the start of the game.
And to answer my own question, I kinda want to see more stuff for ronin characters. Their schools are kinda meh compared to clan schools, which can easily be explained as "their schools don't have the centuries of refinement that most clan schools have", but even so I'd like to see more ronin stuff in general, mostly because I like the idea of playing a hero-of-the-people ronin.
>>44230030
One thing that they should do is nail down their position on the Mantis clan and the minor clan alliance in the new canon. Did the Mantis absorb the other clans, or are they still a loose alliance? I personally prefer the first, but the second would also be fine, as long as they make up their mind and stick with it.
Also, if we could lose some of the recent weirdness with the shadowlands and the taint, that would be awesome.

>Have you ever made a kid with Neomah?
Yeah, once
>What kind of stuff did you make it from?
There was my Night, his prev incarnation, his Lunar gurl, the Neomah, and Scarlet Empress which took 4 sessions of backdoor politics, thieving, and general Blessed Isle shit to get the materiel of.
Unfortunately game died four sessions after the kid'd been thrown from the Tower and was only 4.
The original plan included somehow getting UCS and/or Luna stuff but we had to make do with prev incarnation and Lunar gurl.
>>44229433
>Have you ever made a kid with Neomah?
Not personally, but I working'd five of them to form a giant five-pronged tower called the palm as a humanitarian act in a city state modelled after Brighton (gay capital of the UK) for the poor, otherwise unable to conceive inhabitants.
>What kind of stuff did you make it from?
Bodily fluids or an organ of your choice - each one corresponds to a different trait you want your child to express. Their price is apparently random, but due to a flaw in my Working they're actually collecting all this stuff to secretly create a monsterous child of their own in the quinflames at the core of the palm.
