Get a load of this chump.

>>44006926
He's not dead, he ascended to a demon prince. He's just stuck in the warp for ten thousand years.

>>44006675
With sentient supercomputers that can calculate the tides of hell.

>>44006675
The warp was a much calmer place back then.

Check the archives for the old generals for actual OP content FYI.

The rules are like 90% free officially because retailers didn't want to carry it otherwise. Unofficially you just grab the last draft of the beta rules that are identical to the print copy. Last resort you just pirate it like everything else. Otherwise the paperback copy was pretty cheap and is only missing fluff.

Uncharted Empires is out with more lists. Again, you can find the last copy of the beta lists which are the most recent.

New armies up next are Abyssal Demons and Salamanders. Then Twilight Kin. Current armies are getting the last of the missing models filled in.

Campaigns book coming out next, and another lists book.

The best advertisement isn't anything in the OP. It's just that the game is decently balanced, fairly well designed, has good support, the company isn't shite, and is actually pretty efficient for your hobby time.

>>44006652
Couple of questions:
- Is it fun to play?
- How balanced are the factions?
- Wasn't there a kickstarter for a few more armies a while ago? Human/Angels and demons or something? When's that turning up?
- What armies can you actually play at this point?

>>44006988
>- Is it fun to play?
Surprisingly. It's a lot simpler but you get a lot more bang for your buck in terms of play. There's some major changes from WHFB you might not like at first but they make sense pretty quick.

>- How balanced are the factions?
Surprisingly. Mechanically the game is simple enough it's not as impossible to balance like others, and they actually did a good job of beta testing and feedback on the beta testing and tournaments and such. There's no useless units and otherwise the only way to build a 'bad' list just depends on the play scenario which is supposed to be randomly chosen. It looks like they're not going with the "imperfect balance perpetually evolving meta" design philosophy to sell new overpriced shit.

They did a lot of key things in the listbuilding rules and other restrictions like the turn limit which factor heavily too.

Balanced very differently from WHFB, where Magic and Heroes and such are pretty low-key and the bulk of the work requires a balanced force with intelligent maneuvering.

>- Wasn't there a kickstarter for a few more armies a while ago?
Abyssal Demons? Within next year I think?

>- What armies can you actually play at this point?

Completed Research:
>Monolith Remains
The deadly and powerful Monolith was an unexpected enemy that nearly crushed you when first encountered. The main bulk of the construct was a form of granite not native to the sunblasted system it was discovered on. Veins of peculiar crystal ran through it with a large concentration at its core directly connected to the lenses that broke the uniform surface of the Monolith. It had attacked with powerful attacks that seemed to manipulate gravity as an offensive weapon though the Think Tank refers to it as a Pressure attack. Studies and observations taken from the battle showed that Necrotic Energy had little to no effect on the construct, while Void powered attacks worked as normal.

>Void Weaponry
Your recently upgraded Think Tanks have gained an increased insight into the workings of the Void Energies that Lorgul and his Disciples so easily tap into. At your request they focused on ways to channel the destructive energies into weapons for use by your fleet.

Gained:
>By personally going over the findings of the Monoliths study you believe your own telekinetic powers could be increased or even reproduced in future Reconstructed troops.
>Unlocked Research: Combat Telekinesis: Very Slow

>The study and creation of Void-powered weaponry is now available. Jadyk or even Lorgul can personally see to the creation of new unique weapons while Think Tanks can now attempt to create Void-powered versions of current Necrotic fueled weapons

Easily disposed of. Air superiority is a thing

Most of the USA is destroyed in their path, they tear through any defensive lines put up, everyone evacuates and the world nukes the fuck out of them.

This stops the main force but occasionally a small squadron appears throughout the world and kills a few thousand people before being stopped

>>44006085
I'm sure hundreds of thousands of people would be slaughtered, but like this anon said:
>>44006146
Just start hitting them with missiles and they're fucked most likely.

Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place shortly after the war against the Tuffles, as the Saiyans look for more foes to battle in the absence of their old enemies.

Voting will operate on a first to five system, at least for the time being.

Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)

During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.

If a 100 is rolled, it is considered a crit success (unless 100 was the number you had to match).

If a 1 is rolled, it is a crit failure, regardless of whether or not the other two rolls are high enough to succeed.

If, during a battle, players want to attempt a writein action, that is allowed, but I am the one who will assign the number to it, so use caution

You're a young male Saiyan who fought in the war with the Tuffles. You are an average fighter for now, but have the potential of one of the greatest warrior races to roam the universe flowing through your veins. There is no limit to what you can accomplish through blood, sweat, and tears.

Power Levels (as of the start of this thread)

http://pastebin.com/JvPqwvaU

You follow Rugula out of the ship, taking a look around to see what the others are up to.

The remaining Zillians, by your estimate only about a hundred, are split between eating the corpses of their foes, and sparring against one another. It seems only five of the part-Heran soldiers survived the fight, but their powers increased from the fighting. They may still prove useful.

You see Rugula nearby. She frowns as she sees what's left of your army, especially how few Herans survived. Glancing in your direction, she turns her focus from the remnants of your soldiers and starts walking in your direction.

"If you used those drugs, I take it you were the one to put their leader down," she says. "So the issue we have here isn't your inability to fight. "

She frowns, reactivating your scouter. "Your power's taken a nosedive, and if we can't get it back up, your skill won't save you for long. So, it looks like I'll have to help you get back into shape."

>A. You're ready, tell her to do whatever it takes

>B. You're ready, but you want her to take it easy on you

>C. You want to wait a bit

>D. You want someone else to do this

>>44005092
It's AD&D, carry the torch and die to a kobold, then roll up a new character.

>>44004635
Just play a Fighter? Is it that hard to choose your only option?

Or ask the DM if you can reroll if you really don't want to play a fighter.

What kind of baby are you that you swing toward both of the extremes in response?

>WWAAAAAAHH MY ROLLS WERE SHIT I MIGHT AS WELL PLAY A LEVEL 0 PEASANT

>IF MY ROLLS AREN'T ALL THE GREATEST POSSIBLE THEN ITS NOT WORTH IT

Tell us what the rest of your rolls are

So, mechanically it's fine but people got mad it because of nostalgia reasons? That's so weird. I remember hearing one of my friends complaining when it came out because he thought it made D&D into World of Warcraft, which is a weird complaint because WoW was pretty fun back then.

Quest Start

Closing the book and stacking it neatly on the side table of the quite comfortable chair, you rise and stretch your spine. While your tension is quite relieved by an exceptional amount of reading, you did still have other things to do today, even if not as the you who you are right now. There is still the matter of speaking with Nui Takeda regarding whatever it is she wanted to speak with you about, and your intentions of speaking with Tomoe-sensei at Infinity Academy.

You are normally Mikage Chiba, second year highschool student fifteen years old, formerly you were the third woman to be the magical champion of love and justice known as Sailor Moon after your mother and elder sister. Now your younger sister, Koyomi, serves as Sailor Moon; and you support her and her court of Sailor Guardians as the mysterious hero known as Eclipse.

To protect them and aid them you have your own burgeoning court of allies and supporters, but for reasons even you aren’t entirely clear on you continue to hide the truth from your younger sister that you’re the one supporting her against enemies tied to the past of your complicated family.

Presently you are in a guise, and are presently not Mikage. To cope with certain traumas, Mikage Chiba delved too deeply into using a magical disguise pen and crafted personalities to inhabit other than her own. They have taken certain independence, you have taken certain independence.

And recently, Mikage has been resolving the issues at the root of each persona and healing the wounds within herself. In the process properly reincorporating those personas into the whole of herself. Only one has made that journey so far, and another stubbornly resists the final pull, while yourself and a few of the others remain entirely unresolved.

>>44003198

While you will not resist coming home when you are finally beckoned, you will still enjoy the time you get to come out all the same. Though the next things you have to tend to aren’t really in your personal wheelhouse of activity.

You are called Daphne, and you are perhaps the most normal facet of Mikage Chiba’s fractured psyche. Posing as an exchange student from france, you while your time away when Mikage wants to be calm or relaxed outside of herself. Simply reading or enjoying warm drinks or calming music, you live the kind of simple life when you come out that she thought she was denied. You added the foreigner angle because even while she wanted to relax, she still felt like an outsider.

Complex, oui.

However it isn’t quite your place to question yourself of judge.

Your time in the bookshop finished, you find that it has grown later in the day. Perhaps two or three in the afternoon by now.

>You can go see Tomoe-sensei now as Daphne
>Go see Tomoe-sensei as yourself
>You need to go speak with Nui Takeda, as yourself
>You need to go speak with Nui Takeda, put on your ganguro face
>You’ve grown a bit peckish, enjoy the dubious bento Koyomi made you

“Sumire, is there something you want from me?” you ask. You squint at her.

“Well… now that you mention it.” She coughs a bit. “There was this really really nice dress I saw.” You tilt your head, giving her the most motherly stern glare you can give to her. She sighs, dropping her façade of production and actual organization to her life. “Come on! You can’t worry yourself with what the Nazis are doing every waking moment of your life! So what if they invade Poland?”

You gasp a little, looking at her disgustedly. “The Polish are some of the most dedicated people I know. Alongside the Chinese, the Irish, and the Negroes, they helped build this country into what it is today with nothing more than a dream and their own hands. Sumire, how would you feel if your ancestral homeland was invaded by savages who think they can bring order into the world through bigotry and fascism?”

She shrugs. “Gee. I don’t know. I guess I completely forgot about that time the West basically bullied Japan into opening its borders and then accepting new Western ideals by any means, which meant the suppression of the old Samurai and the old traditions of Japan in favor of industrialism and democracy.” You blink. “See, I can pull this stuff on you too, don’t give me your lectures on what’s right, Lady Liberty.” She pats her chest, proudly. “I know my history too!”

“Only because I read it to you at night,” you mutter.

“And I’m glad you do.” She bends over and kisses you on the forehead. “Just relax. The Brits and the French will handle it before Christmas. Hitler gets deposed, the Soviet Union gets a lesson choosing its allies. Boom, we won’t even need to set foot on German turf.” She places her hands on her hips, looking around. “By the way, where’s Rana and Anneliese?”

“At the ballgame,” you say. “It’s about the first inning so they’ll be gone a while.”

Sumire smirks, then gently places her head in your lap, looking up at you with those glistening eyes of hers. “Ooooh… time alone with lovely Lady Liberty!” You poke her in the nose. “Ow!”
