Well, they're lifeforms so if you don't know what you're doing you could always end up with something like diaboromon


Man now you made me want to find my digimon VHS tapes

I only recognize the front three, who are the two on both sides?

Xros I think

You look down at the gun in your hands, warmth emanating from it as the last lingering wafts of smoke drift up from the barrel. You quickly check the cylinder to see it has five bullets left of its eight chamber maximum. A quick once-over glance makes you think its works on some sort of spring-lock system. It's a bit hefty, it looks a little beat-up and you have no training with the thing, but it may come in handy. You shove it into your pocket before observing the gunman. He's still out cold from that punch of yours. You notice your knuckles don't hurt as you flex your hand. Definitely retained what you picked up from that spar with Gabby.

He looks dirty, and is covered in some sort of rash. His clothes are stained and his short black hair looks matted to his head by sweat and grime.

“Please.” Father Calloway starts to speak from the floor as he picks himself up. “Don't kill them.” Dolah snorts as she grabs the man she subdued by the collar.

“Oh, we aren't killing them.” She throws him into one of the church pews violently, before looking out among the rest of the parishioners. The gunshot startled them and most are standing, staring wide-eyed at you. “Citizens. Leave. Now!” The attendees break into action, gathering their things and filing out of the church, the permission to remove themselves from the situation being the only impetus required.

“Who sent you?” Dolah slaps the man across the face and he starts to sputter and cough, still recovering from passing out. When he seems more focused on his own pain than answering her question, she grabs him by the shoulders and shouts in his face. “WHO SENT YOU?” You can see the spittle fly. She throws him back into the church pew.

You've never seen her this angry before. She's kinda scary.

>Tell Dolah to calm down
>Work with it, play good inquisitor
>Find a guard and explain the situation
>Something else? (write-in)

Glad to see you running again. Time to learn interrogation techniques.

Seems like I missed a thread, I'll dive right into the archive.

Fuck it didn't do the thing where it turns a link into >>>/m/13599023 automatically. Well, whatever.

Well, the first and most important part is deciding if the game is either Real (Gundam, VOTOMS) or Super (Mazinger-Z, Getter, GaoGaiGar, Gurren Lagann), and make sure your players know which genre it is. I wanted to have a Super Robot game and I ended up with one player using a power armor.

Don't be afraid to homebrew weapons and abilities. Also, I recommend using Battle Century G. It's not hard to get into, pretty simple and building a mech is easy.

If you want to run a 80's style show, don't be afraid to run tropes completely straight instead of making subversions. For mecha, trying to subvert will more often than not make it worse when all a player want is play in a heroic game.

>>44080080
Does Battle Century G work with Real Robot or no?

go read this. If you don't come out with at least one devious idea I will eat my shoes

>>44079265
alternatively drop them in just about any room in the tomb of horrors with the caveat of "rub this magic amulet to move one room closer to the exit but it kills the person who rubs it"

Depending on the time, probably lowborn mercs who are fully equipped in the most advanced armor of the time all wielding polearms and have cavalry, along with crossbows or an arquebus depending on the era.

English longbow archers, there's truly no more efficient death machine.

Okay what the hell is that picture from? I want that power.

You made a post.

...Studded leather armor, although popular in movie productions, was historically never used in combat for obvious reasons of practicality?

>What kind of craft charms would you all like to see out of Infernals and Lunars?
I'm not convinced that Lunars should have Charms specifically for Crafting, though obviously they should have Charms that can also be used to help with Crafting. As for Infernals, I'd kind of like something that lets you use the Craft Ability to 'craft' living beings. It just seems appropriate to me.

>>44078595
>I'm not convinced that Lunars should have Charms specifically for Crafting, though obviously they should have Charms that can also be used to help with Crafting.

Why not?

>>44078674
Mainly because I don't see how such specific Charms could feel like Attribute-based Charms rather than Ability Charms in denial. Obviously I'd had nothing against it if the devs or someone else came up with Lunar Craft Charms that feel thematically appropriate for Lunars, but I don't see Lunars having a set of Craft Charms as all that important. Something like, say, a Charm that lets you complete the design part of any project in your dreams, shortening the time actual execution takes, maybe giving some Craft XP but also benefiting other undertakings, would be more to my taste.

[Amelia Rider]
Amelia raises her wand towards the enemy witch as a string of magical energy bolts from her wand and starts to wrap around her. You got her!

>Gain Combat Skill: Magic Binding Rope

But before she can pull down the other witch simply laughs.

“Let's go for a ride!”

Without warning Amelia feels herself thrust into the air and suddenly she's dangling high above the battlefield while in front of her the woman on the broom cackles.

You're being dragged through the sky! All around you below the horrific battlefield rages, but it looks like the Witch is dragging you near some Union gun positions. That's not good!

[Andrew Johnson]
1. Your father in law and the other tribal leaders inform you of the going-ons of the camp. At first, before you arrived, times were difficult. An influx of refugee's from the other nations, gigantic bugs roaming our hunting grounds, we were running out of space, out of food, and out of hope.

Then things changed when prophet showed up. His messengers came with great supplies of corn, corn which has so far sustained the tribe for a long time, and calling all able bodied men to war allowed the old, the women, and the young men and children to live off the food supplies.

The corn shipments stopped once the Union arrived however. With corn shipments being halted, and the hunting grounds still infested with masses of insects, while we do have supplies for now, this village won't last until we get more.

>>44078222
2. The original officers that greeted you earlier have left, as of right now Captain Harland and Lt. Greely. Thanks to your previously military experience, coupled with the fact that you served under Colonel Buster and are, after explaining, the acting Chief of the village, the welcoming they give you is relatively warm. You all know the Union prefers to get straight to business, so excessive cruelty is unnecessary. They're only job is to pacify occupied territories, and make sure the railway gets through and on time. And so far, the Grassy Plains has not done anything to warrant aggressive action, besides the incident with the young men earlier.

You mention the corn shipments, to which their reply is considering how far the front has moved, those shipments are probably being turned back dozens of miles away, and it is unlikely they have any ability to allow them in. Much less if they haven't stopped entirely. Then you ask about sparing the Union for food for the village, to which you get the reply that they will “consider the situation and if found feasible make plans to appropriate it when possible, but being we are at war and have soldiers to feed we cannot assure when they will come”. You're able to tell that they're either not going to be able to get food, or if they do, not nearly enough.

In other news, you get another message. They're asking you to head towards the rail depot.

Apparently. . .your family has arrived.

>>44078050
Maybe. It shares two colors with each of the decks you mentioned, so it might not be immeasurably different. I think you could just slam good BW removal/ efficient creatures into a deck and then use Oros or Gisela as your win con. I'd probably be almost more of a control deck without the counterspells, which would be kind of a problem.
I think it could be done, but there are probably JUST better options.

Crackling Doom is really good. He uses that big vizkopa dude, I think he's shit but whatever

But, Anon.

She already is.

>What would happen if Lady Gaga was the founder of a Sororitas order?
Pretty sure she's Chaos.

>>44077959
Nah, she's not inherently evil. She's actually pretty intelligent and level headed when she wants to be.

If anything, she's an Imperial Noblewoman who has completely lost touch with the masses and lives in her own world high above the rest of her planetary society.

>>44077722
From my perspective as an outsider looking in, no. FNM at the 4 or so stores I've had the privelege to game in is a time of arguing and occasionally tears.

>Wearing headphones in the LGS
Is this really a thing in America?

>Refuse to communicate
>In a card game
Might as well play a different game. No communication= No game.

Casting Impregnation is a touch attack.

Its cool but pricey for me stateside, also kinda a hard sell honestly.

Wait... what table top games can you field full sized games for under $100 US?

That's like... incredibly cheap for this medium.
