Is she okay?

She fell off Lorthos, lost the bident and landed on her back in the ocean next to Kozilek.
It'll depend upon how fans feel about Kiora and if they like her or not enough to see if she survives. Honestly I think she'll live, if only because she's got that UG arrogance about her ("oh look at me, I'm tricky with my blue magic AND I can summon up giant green things to smash your face in!") and her getting knocked down a slight peg (if she survives) will help screw her head on right and admit that sometimes it's ok to ask/receive help.
>>
>>44074644
Yeah, she's okay.
Just like that dog you had as a kid, she just went to a farm out of town.
That you're not allowed to visit.
Ever.
Just don't have the time, you know?
Oops, turns out she ran away from the farm, silly thing.

Man, remember how many URs we spent on Gideon and his whole "reclaiming Sea Gate" thing? Remember how painfully slow it was?
At least it was worth it.
/tg/, how do I do a primarily urban campaign based on a banana republic having a civil war?
One of my player want me to do it after he play the Jagged Alliance 2 Urban Chaos mod.
I know what ruleset to use (either Savage Worlds, 13th Age or 4th DnD), but how do I do the setting and the general plot?
My current idea currently is making it based on a combination of both Games of Throne style of politics while basing the some of the general events on parody and exaggeration of what's happening in Ukraine.
Thoughts? Reading materials are very much welcomed.

You could try and get a copy of this:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Chrome-Berets-Official-Cyberpunk/dp/1887801375
"The PCs are hired to be mercenary commanders in a full-blown Third World conflict. At stake are the interests of entrenched oligarchs, military strongmen, revolutionary zealots, and big corporations."
Need some work to be really fun but sounds like what you're after.

So can someone give me a competetive Ashlynn list? At least as competetive as it's possible with her and Mercenaries. Preferably a tier list.

When I was a toddler, my uncle would run AD&D for his friends, with me in my highchair at the foot of the table.
When I was three years old, I made my first character. He was named Spinehead (after his most notable anatomical feature), and he could shoot his spines at monsters and bad guys.

As awful as this sounds...
ERP
Then I realized how retarded ERP was but still liked the RP aspect of it and did some non-ERP games online.
Then I realized online games suck ass and have major issues with people not showing up (Skype) or posting frequently (forum RPs) so I started bugging my friends to do IRL games.

That's a pretty fucking great pic.
Got any more?
Personally, I started Roleplaying games after inventing a set of rules for my make-believe games as a kid with little plastic toys. Than I heard that that kind of game had already been invented - and that's how I came to buying GURPS.and made millions fo shitty homebrews and campaigns that almost no-one would even think of playing nowadays

>‘I am Tolemion of the Genesis, Warden of the West Protectorate. I am the End of Heretics, the Bane of Traitors, and a loyal son of Lord Guilliman.’ ‘Oh,’ Xarl chuckled through his voxsponder. ‘You must be very proud.’ He tossed something round and heavy onto the decking between them both. It rolled to knock gently against Tolemion’s boot. A helm. A Genesis Space Marine’s helm – the eye lenses put out, the faceplate smeared with blood. ‘You’ll scream just as he did,’ Xarl said with a smile. The Champion showed no reaction. He didn’t even move. ‘I knew that warrior,’ he said with solemn care. ‘He was Caleus, born of Newfound, and I know he died as he lived: with courage, honour, and knowing no fear.’ Xarl swept his chainsword across the scene, gesturing at the prone forms of First Claw. ‘I know all of these warriors. They are First Claw, and I know they’ll die as they lived: trying to run away.’

Sup keks, trying to get into X-Wing but I'm also trying to buy enough ships for games with my non-gaming friends
For my first purchase I've decided that I will buy the TFA core set, the falcon, the tie phantom, and the slave I
what else do you guys suggest I buy? looking for "generic" small ships that easily fit into any build. Should I buy the first core set as well? What are some tournament standard cards/expansions I should get?

TIE fighters are always a good idea. You can run an entire list of basic ones or just throw one into the mix.
Workhorse ships for the rebels are generally the Y and B wings, although X and A wings are also quite decent.
The original starter box is quite good and probably worth getting.
>>
>>44073988
i was thinking of getting an a-wing because it had a cool card in it (i forgot which). What are some other tournament standard cards I should look out for and what expansions are they in?
I was planning to get a buncha tie fighers but should i get regular tie fighters or the new tie/fo fighters? how about the new xwings?
and do i really need the first core set if im getting the second one?
is it safe just to get 1 of each for the rebels?
>>
>>44074240
The new x-wing is enormously more viable than the original one.
New ties are kinda untested, they've got some very interested named pilots, but not as cost effective for generic swarms.
A-wing is fun, interceptors are great, Y-wings are kinda fun to slot in as support/zoning/control ships. Phantoms are weird and fun to fly, but occasionally frustrating to fly against, especially for new players. E-Wing is kinda overpriced, but also fun. B-Wings are pretty basic, as are Tie Defenders, but chunky enough to be fun in casual play. B's are certainly viable competitively as a jousting deathblob formation, but that's going be be boring as shit for casual play.

The bus rolls, and you feel your head slam against something heavy and metal, Angie clinging to your arms.
You can feel a loud ringing in your ears, and your sight is heavily blurring around the edges... it feels like the last ten seconds took nearly ten seconds to pass, as the extremely pissed off bull outside stares at you and Angie, now lying on the upside down bus' roof..
"Xiao!" You can hear... someone calling you from very far away, before a stinging slap brings you back to reality. "Wake UP!"
You blink your senses back into mostly working order, staring down the bull. It's horns are glowing with a menacing red aura, as it paws the ground, letting out a furious roar, it's tiny eyes trained on you.
In a flash, it starts to charge, closing the yard between you, horns lowered. Lying in a bus wreckage in the middle of the mall, you don't exactly have much plant life close to hand...

Has anyone done a ToB style adaptation for 5e? Has it worked for you if you've played with it?
I kind of want to modify martials to be at the mid point between now and that power level. Not too many magic powers but just more to do and some extra abilities to keep them up with casters at higher levels.

Advantages :
- players know the other players are serious as fuck about this campaign
Disadvantages :
- possible infection/disease from the open wound to open wound sharing of blood
- death from embarrassment later in life upon reflecting you entered into a blood pact with other players over a tabletop RPG campaign
