I would have more hype come april. I really want to see what the hunter's guild will have.

>>44135446
Never heard of this. What are the factions like?

Otiak looks on from the side of the mountain at the massive fiery gap between realms, seeing the armies of hell march forth. The sky darkens with red clouds and throngs of winded demons and the ground becomes a sea of foot soldiers.

"This is terrible," the woman alongside him whispers. "Edenia is not ready for such an attack."

"I need to reach the royal palace," Otiak says, mostly to himself. "I have to help them!"

"Then I shall keep you no longer," she says. "Go forth."

"Wait," he holds up a hand. "I want to take you up on your offer for your gift, but not now. Later. I may be... different. I'll leave you with a password: sodlid. When I return, I'll use it so you know it is me."

"Very well, I shall remember it," she replies. "Hurry!"

Otiak nods and goes to retrieve the unconscious Korbin and the jar containing the enenra that is Smoke. With them, he teleports away, further down the mountain, to its base. He looks around and tries to think of the best way to the palace.

>A) Head into the forest
>B) Take the road
>C) Follow the nearby river
>D) Other

>>44135156
>>C) Follow the nearby river
if i remember there's a water fall by the palace

>>44135156
>>C) Follow the nearby rive

>>44134662
Literally nobody cares about it, so decide for yourself.

>>44134662
lol are they doing an emo furry game?

Man honestly I'd totally forgotten about the game until I saw it on my Drivethrurpg library a few days ago.

It's been awhile since you went on a real date at all, and you've missed it. Good conversation, good friend, a nice dinner...

All things running through your mind in an effort to ignore that Nathan's getting closer. His hand squeezes yours, gently, and you squeeze back, a silent gesture of consent.

The kiss is soft, almost shy, and you return it with one of your own. You rest your forehead against his, the heat high in your face, and grin like a schoolgirl.

"For a guy who's never had one, you put on a pretty good date," you murmur.

"Good enough for a second one?" the handsome Hero asks, boldly.

"I think it just might be," you tease. "Depending on the offer. Thank you, Nathan. I...you know, I missed this."

"Glad I could help," he agrees. "We should get back. We've got things to do in the morning."

"Evening," you rejoin.

"Post-camp," he corrects, haughtily, and the two of you share a laugh.

You take a single rose with you, on the way back out, to dry and preserve.

It's been a little over a month since the fall of the Vintner. You've been busy, but you've also found time to attend to your own pursuits. You've worked on:

> Improving your combat skills
> Improving your medicinal skills
> Dungeon survival training

As well as

> Taken up an artistic hobby
> Taken up a practical hobby
> Started writing your own stories.

Choose only one from each vote.

>>44132428
> Improving your medicinal skills
As long as we have a party, specialization is good. We have a warrior and a rogue. We need a bandaid.
> Taken up a practical hobby
I'd suggest carving since it's useful for bones, but Amy already did that. So... Knitting? Must be easy to get cold feet in the dungeon, what with all the dampness and no sun. Or learn how to make condoms from sheep guts.

>>44132428
>Dungeon survival training
and
> Started writing your own stories.
It might not seem like the best choice, but I have a gut feeling that good things will come out of it...

everywhere
as much as possible

>>44130273
Denizens of deep jungles, primeval lands and far forests.

Yes, because dinosaurs are fucking awesome as well as an excuse to have a high CR mundane creature.

>>44130273
I don't see why dinosaurs would be less believable than creatures that never existed and can't exist.
Kobolds are genetically related to dinosaurs and have feathers on their heads. Y/N?

>>44124997
How'd they fix it?

Different art on newer cards

I'm so sorry you don't have a period or enter key on your keyboard it must be terrible having to type out everything as a single monotonous paragraph

GURPS probably has a rule for how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.

FATE probably doesn't.

Ergo, GURPS > FATE.

>>44115482
Im sure you love to lick Steve Jackson

>>44115469
GURPS if you like simulationism, or tactical operators operating tactically. FATE if you don't.

Wouldn't it be Hilo Nuevo?

Still hoping the Father-Knights will get the Fireteam Duo rule.
Yeah, unlikely, I know, but just let me dream. Having those guys slug it out with a Gecko team would be amazing...

Have you even bothered to look in the homebrew thread?

I worked on EH with Viral and I don't feel the need to make new games. There are many great systems available. I make scenarios.

I hope I get my online investigation finished before the shotgun deadline is up.

>>44097957
Making a game is exhausting and time consuming. Not to mention the wide variety of systems in the market right now means that finding a proper niche is hard as fuck.

I've seen plenty of new systems on various threads, but they tend to cover stuff that's already been covered by professional systems, so people generally ignore them.

sounds black

>>44158167
thx

>>44158107
Literally Liliana.

b-bump

>>44157066
What- first off- are you going to be a character? Otherwise what can we even add here apart from saying Critical Role is fucking incredible.

>>44158187
yes, im going to be playing

Little bits I wrote some time ago

>DEMIURGES

>Yes, problem is it is difficult to characterize them beyond fantasy dwarves but in space

>If I had to do it I'd try to push the aspect that dwarfs turn to stone somehow (kind of like a reaction to psychic powers and time)
>I'd try to give them a set of technology a bit different from the imperium, for example drilling projectiles to fight in dense areas, or sticky grenade launchers, very strong but take time to explode and can be set on terrain as traps for later, guided fire throwing "missiles" and compressed vibrating air shotguns to pulp people inside their armour or to move easily trough cover just to name a few
>Their grav tech does not make things heavier but cause gravity to "change polarity", meaning that big stuff will likely be thrown up in the air, grav tech also used to make infantry walk on various surfaces, even upside down
>Laser is more short ranged but has more armour piercing power (developed from orbital mining lascutters)
Ion technology

>On the vehicle and overall armour design I'd go for round surfaces with concentric inscriptions and decorations, kind of ovoidal, walkers, anti gravity or multiple pairs of treads, no wheels, even for bikes
>Their structures are not covered in many weapons, but usually house very powerful ones

>Psykers are there, but as mentioned turn to stone and use their powers to alter the battlefield, influence terrain or power up/incapacitate machines

>They don't have power armour like space marines, their equipment varies from jackets with repulsor fields to big treaded or multiple legged suits
Servo-arms are common, even for some normal infantry, to charge weapons, hold the oversized ones in place or act as stabilizers for recoil
>Mostly move with closed helmets with visors like compound eyes or slits, and complex rebreathers (to make the beards less obvious)

>>44155104
>But apart from design, as I said, it's difficult to characterize them as a race in the setting, beyond space dwarfs

>Warp travel is achieved thanks to a biomechanical elements covering their ships that react in the same way as them: Turns to crystalline squared rock-like structures as defense mechanism in contact with the warp, whether the effects are permanent or temporary it depends
>they basically break in and out using force and endurance rather than concentrating on creating a safe environment in it, the same difference between a man who wears furcoats to resist the cold and a man uncaring of pain and cold who grows resistance to it
>Dwarfs may get tougher when target of psychic powers (it's in place of the deny the witch: It's an easier roll that may increase the toughness of the squad for the effects of the spell, the turn, or the entire game)
>The same biomechanical compound may be used as a constricting weapon against psykers

>They do have teleporting tech but they only use it for objects, bombs and projectiles

>"people are not meant to disappear like that" they think who arrives at the end of the teleporter is not the same who entered

>Teleport is used only by the not!slayers, because they consider themselves already dead, slayers have in fact numerous rocky outgrows due to the warp nature of teleports

>The square crystalline rocky outgrowths offer a visual contrast to the rounded equipments

>The great majority of their tech is not linked to the brain, it's not healthy they aay, but is instead activated by voices, from an outside perspective they look like constantly grumbling while they are speaking to the artificial intelligences of their equipments

>The rebreathers makes them look like smoking to a misinformed observer

>squats are an abhuman race born from the interactions between human miners and the alien demiurgs culture-wise, rest is convergent adaptation

Cool beans. I didn't give much though to Squat Psykers. I always imagined abhuman psykers would be first on the chopping block for the Astronomicon.

But I guess Demiurg don't have to worry about that from the Tau. If you had to shorten them down to a few units on the Tau army list, what would you want to feature most of all?

Every single day. He wishes he could take back moving to the town the game takes place in.

>>44154721
Wait - is your character playing a game...in the game?

>>44154797
If the game is called babysitting, then yes he's playing a game.

FW MKIII armor is sold out, plastic kit soon?

>>44153869
Basic Sisters are fine if you're putting them up against other base troops like Boyz, Guardians, etc. If anything, Marine troops should go up a point since ATSKNF is way too valuable. Meanwhile, Chaos ones should drop down one point.

Where can I find the bit about the Orks and Death Star and the Imperial Fists?

Some fluff on the major nations and places

Having pilot meat points called wounds is pretty counterintuitive.
Maybe consider renaming to "guts" for example?
The flavor would mesh well with the vigor and morale coupling.
