Explain to her as many times as is required that slavery or subjugation of sentient beings is wrong and she should release me at once, attempting to find a reasonable solution to the situation.

If she persists in her attempts to "pet" me, I will simply leave and get someone to destroy the collar. If she stops me and I cannot reason with her, I only have one option left.

Smite. The world relies on me and my companions, and I cannot be held against my will. Don't give a fuck about the collar: the will of a righteous man cannot be broken by mortal sorceries.

One of the worst board games ever made.

The first one.By far.

If it's not snowflaking and isn't too poorly written it's enormously helpful as a GM. My only problem is when one player does the first and another does the second. So I have to juggle making use of all these things the player has given me and trying to get the other fucker engaged in the story.

>>44190296
The first one, obviously, just remind your player that brevity is the soul of wit.

I like the cut of the first one's jib but the second one will enjoy the campaign a lot more.

>>44188586
Not really a change, so much, but I tend to make NPCs like the new core book does. That is to say, a collection of likely and relevant dice pools rather than fully statted out. It does require notes to make sure you're keeping the pools consistent when you make up a new one of the top of your head for a recurring character.

I finally figured out how to make D-Omega-G in Changeling 2e
>Be turned into a Cyclopean Manikin
>Take the Beast way out.

How does possession work in CofD? (Man, it feels so weird calling it that.) Specifically, what are the side-effects of it? Does the possessed person give off some sort of vague, supernatural aura? Do they do the clichéd eyes-rolling-back-in-your-head thing? Or do you just have to judge by their behavior, like, "Sarah, since when did you enjoy tormenting the souls of the living so much?"

haha, thunderbolt coming to hold your butte

So I was looking at the BTech site today and went to their 'Upcoming Products' section. I haven't been to the official boards in years, so I don't know if any of these things have been discussed, but can anyone shed some light on whether any of these things will ever come out?

>Interstellar Operations
I know it's in beta, but is this thing ever coming out? What's been cut? What's being turned into Day1 DLC... I mean a further supplement?

>The First Succession War
Does anyone really want this? Isn't this just "Nuke everything!" the book?

>Combat Manual: Kurita
I take it these are for Alpha Strike players, not true Grognard Scotsmen?

>Campaign Companion
Seriously! Fucking when?? I must own this damned book yesterday! Someone go forward in time and get it for me!!!

>Combat Manual: Steiner
Again, Alpha Strike, right?

>Turning Points: Epsilon Eridani (E-Publication)
There are so many of these fucking things I've lost track.

>Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives V (E-Publication)
This time, they're more primitive...er!

>Combat Manual: Davion
Alpha Strike... blah blah blah. Anyone know if these books cover a specific time period, or are they 'catch all' books?

>Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars II (E-Publication)
Ok, another one. Great.

>Record Sheets: Prototypes Unabridged (E-Publication)
I look forward to totally acquiring this legally.

>The Second Succession War
Part 2: The Nukening!

>Technical Readout: Golden Century (E-Publication)
Ok then? Just spinning our wheels it seems now.

>Technical Readout: IrregularTech (E-Publication)
Seriously, is this ever going to come out? Will the sun have died by then?

>ilClan
>The founding of the ilClan heralds the start of a new age for the BattleTech universe
Prove it!

And finally, things that probably only exist as bullet points on a whiteboard at CGL:
>Milestones
>Touring the Stars
>Spotlight On
>OpFor
>Gladiator Gazette

Do we ever expect to see a series for these?

>>44185795

>Does anyone really want this?

The grogs do, because it implies they'll get books for the 3rd and 4th SWs, which is what they really want.

>Isn't this just "Nuke everything!" the book?

Yes, which is why Herb once said they were never going to go back and revisit the 1st and 2nd SWs. However, CGL has completely shat itself in terror and indecision now that they've covered the Jihad and Republic backstory and the few years of plot they've provided after the Dark Age material was met with enraged fantards raking them over the coals for daring to put their factions in a less than stellar position. From the outside looking in, it appears as though they have no idea what to do next (hence the ilClan delays) and nobody wants to step up and take responsibility (we've been without a line developer for what, over two years now?)

The constant delays, pushbacks, filler products and mini TRs let them look like they're doing something, but three of the last major publications were literally cut and paste jobs of existing material. TR 3145 was a consolidation, TR 3150 was a reprint of 3145 with new variants and a bit of new fluff, and HB: HK was essentially just a reprint of the old House Book.

Can't say I'm exactly enthused or foreseeing anything great. And this is from someone who was won over by CGL with the Jihad stuff, which they managed to handle quite well while unfucking as much as they could.

The wall comes to life, glowing with the grooves that are not covered in stereotypical ancient glyphs like you were expecting. “Aah… I do feel better. Much, actually. Thank you, child.” The expression of the face becomes moving, and she turns to face you in a much more organic manner.

“The deal still stands, as long as one remains. Now… I understand that you are freshly hatched, and probably unaware of the circumstances. You may ask as you wish, but I shall state the basics beforehand, as there are some things you must know.” The entire wall was churning like a pot now, somewhere between a parade of dancing toy gargoyles and a kaleidoscope.

“I shall provide information and guidance, and I can only speak truths, to the best of my ability to determine a thing true. You will be allowed to reside here, for a while longer. I am not indentured to you like I was to them. You are not the ‘chosen’ one, so don’t take any risks or endanger yourself via some blind crusade against a veiled beloved demigoddess behind the strings. Finally, I possess a lot of knowledge, but am limited in what I am allowed to tell you directly, so do not trust me without critical thought.”

“Now, if you have any questions… do ask me while I am awakened. I will provide most of your energy back, when I am ready to slumber, or use it in the Forge to craft something for you of your design. I understand your reserves must be limited, young as you are.”

>Ask Questions (Write-in)

Yeah. I'm just noticing now that the 'intro explanation' didn't properly copy over into the OP. Far as I know there's no edit button, so I can't stuff it in, but I can roll with the thread as-is.

Has your GM ever made fun custom gear for you? Not necessarily incredibly powerful, but different in some respect?

>>44162668
>>44165021
To answer what I intended to answer before I noticed the thread had autosaged.

If the NPC stats in DH2 are balanced after a DH2 partys powerlevel FFG has done a really shitty fucking job. Because the stats of the npc's really does not follow any internal structure nor do they represent their fluff or tabletop counterparts (something they've been able to do very well in the other systems). The stats seem to be just really fucking rushed and not thought through. Because certain skills or talents an NPC should have are very often missing and their base often have outrageous toughness scores for what they are simply so they can have better soak in case a PC should shoot at them. Which to me is just shitty worldbuilding. It especially becomes apparant how terrible this is when comparing to NPC balancing of the other systems, where Deathwatch is the only one that sticks out with generally tougher enemies. Because Space Marines tend to murder shit incredibly easily. Otherwise, the NPC's of the other systems follow basically the same baseline of comparison (DH1 characters of X amount of XP generally) and that has lent to very consistent statting of NPC's across the systems.

Now, I am of the school as a GM that any NPC stats will need to be given a once over so they are appropriate for how I play games with my group and I assume everyone will atleast do the same for their own games. Because honestly, not even the old NPC stats were always to my satisfaction (or perfect), especially when it comes to higher power enemies (such as Greater Daemons and the Avatar) and vehicles. Which I'd say FFG is notoriously poor with.

And continued in the next post because of character limit.

>Any idea of a good conversion guide to make them fit into the DH2 setting?
Basically, for rules, just use the same guide used to convert PC's as the rules changes affect them the same. As for converting them to the Askellon sector, I have no idea. I run games in my own homebrew sector because FFG insists on placing their settings on the wrong end of the galaxy from where I want to run my games (the Eastern Fringe). Only exception is Deathwatch.

>>44167976
Well, speaking as a GM with a 50~ish page document of custom and homebrew gear I love doing that shit.

And half an hour later still no posts. I believe that answers your question.

The CCG is over. They were going to have the Spider clan win and take over the empire, time jump to 50 years of so and start again with the clans ruled over by the Spider clan.

Looked fun as balls but then they sold it to FFG and now it will b e redone, most likely with massive retcons and changes to mechanics.

But the RPG is still awesome.

Sure, its integrated into one of the continents in my 3.5 campaign.

I am allied with Greenland, Lenqus, Camaro and Venicia and at war with no one

I am still seeking technology/knowledge. I can offer good trades for such and will gladly entertain any other trading offers.

My settlements are as follows:
Capital (Herrenshfestning): (1, 18) Holds 7,000 people as well as the Hall and the Embassy
Gold Mining City (Gullfjellet): (1, 17) Near the capital so not as big but still holds 5k
Trade Port (Buklander): (2, 13) 5k permanent but the population swells and falls with trade.
Misc. City (Stormidtveis): (8, 1) Holds 5k and acts as a local trade hub
Iron Mining City (Svarthoyde): (6, 5) Holds about 5k, a stereotypical mining city
Beyond that, the remaining 10 k are in scattered villages.

Total Population: 37,000

Military Forces: Militia, Coastguard Patrols, Navy, Fortifications

Militia:
7,400 Men at Arms armed as follows; 1 Spear, 1 Shield, 1 Helmet, 1 shield, 1 Maille Shirt, 1 Crossbow, all of weapons of Steel and Wood as appropriate, all armour of Iron and Wood as appropriate

1 City (With Stone Walls and Cannons)
2 Mining Cities (With Stone Walls and Cannons)
1 Trading Port (With Stone Walls and Cannons)
Numerous Small Villages (with Stone Walls)

Just gonna repost my question from the last thread: Considering I'll soon have the means for such and I have stockpiled gunpowder for a long time by this point, would I need to dedicate an action to starting production of cannons or can I just designate that as a thing once the Foundry is established?

>continuing the conversation with Long Island Anon from the last thread

Are you looking to play, or just to meet up?

I could do any of those days, but it would have to be after work. Say, 6pm or later.

They seem to get a small croud for miniatures on Monday nights. Usually Infinity or Warmachine, but the owner and I have been trying to get Flames of War or Team Yankee up and running there as well.

To be honest, Team Yankee is probably the thing that will get the most traction there. I have one other player signed up already, and there might be a few of the Monday Night Miniatures people looking to start Team Yankee as well.

It's an early Greecian themed setting taking place in a Cretian/Minoan based civilization, The upper crust of society closely resembles the Boros faction of Ravnica with Divine Powered Minotaur Paladins serving as the Human nobles' enforcers. You have Neanderthal/Gigantopithecus/Vanara/Inbred Humans/Early Hominid Cavemen races serving as the lower class to which they're more treated closer to slaves than citizens, because of how abject the power of the noble class is. To make matters worse, much of the populous beleives the noble's places in society are rightful because of the lower classes lack of intelectual capacity and the divine power and religious propaganda displayed by nobles and their enforcers.
Additionally there's vagely Celtic/Irish themes tossed into the mix, Such as Celtic Knot Labyrinths, and a rouge faction of Huldra and the like that persuade and lure men and women away to use for guerrilla warfare (sometimes literally gorilla warfare) against the nobles and this primative society as a whole. It'll play a lot like Dark Sun in gameplay theme, short of the lack of defiling, being replaced with prevalent Ur-Priestdom and the extreme presence of divine power in the corrupt churches and ravaged wilderness. Like Dark Sun, Psionics are just as common in that even the dull and dim witted primates of the lower class can display wild talents and powers, however it is largely restrained by the Churches as heretical and a manifestation of want and sin, unless ordaned by officials of the church themselves to tasks such as reinforcing the web of propaganda they have spun. Various City-States are headed by supposed Demi-Gods and ruled by differing churches and ideologies that almost always seem to be gearing to war with one another, but that's just a ploy by the various forces that be to try to force industry and productivity.
