I've been getting into the idea of running Interface Zero 2.0 recently. If Savage Worlds is your cup of tea, I'd give it a look, as it has pretty much everything you'd want for a CP campaign.

>>43996965
If you're Swedish, I guess Rotsystem is pretty good in the easy pick up and play regard.

I'm getting a real Wolfenstein 3D vibe from the top-left one, what with the ratling gun coming out of his chest.

They got released along the new thanquol & boneripped and verminlords around the beginning of this year, to accompany the end times book: thanquol.

Skaven already appeared in aos, no major involvement or inspection, nor actual new miniatures, just briefs mentions of them allying with other chaos forces, drilling interdimensional tunnels between realms and the horned rat gaining a bit more weight than before as an actual chaos god.
The rules for skaven are still in the free compendium but clan pestilens saw repackaging/rebasing and rules publications in their part of units' rules and some formations in the second campaign book.

It's unilaterally agreed that the stormfiends represent the future direction for the aesthetic of their models.

I decided to see if I could make an interesting Construct-based summoner variant.

It owes a lot to the Celestial Summoner (Though it's less dedicated in it's focus than that one was)

Feedback would be appreciated. I'm trying not to have it be TOO powerful. At least in comparison to the base summoner.

Using a name in case I need to reply to people's comments. Otherwise it gets a bit confusing at times.

So... Regarding >>43995413

I gave it a try with my current (rough) iteration.

DC (Hi): 17/(Med): 15/(Low): 12
Skill (Hi): 19/(Med): 15/(Low): 4
Hi: Stealth, Heal,
Med: Know (Martial), Acrobatics, Climb,

Are Aldori Duelling mastery and Dervish Dance the only feats that reward using a weapon one-handed?

>realism issues

How about you play a game like Dragon' Dogma, Dark Souls, or Shadow of the Colossus.

Then you'll realize height isn't an issue.

>>43996471
Realistically, nothing in a fantasy setting even exists.

On a more constructive note, smaller frames does not equal weaker beings. In fact, it actually tends to result in higher muscle density. Muscles work by constricting and relaxing; shorter builds result in a shorter distance muscles need to contract. Therefore, the same muscle mass would have greater output on a shorter frame than a large one.
However, shorter races have shorter muscles, so it evens out.

What about us wizard bros? We don't get smote do we? The vast majority of us are just sitting in our towers doing research. We don't experiment on people or nothing...well, not on what most people would consider people anyway.

were you okay?

This story is only acceptable if the tarrasques were made of marshmallow.

Real life.
It's hard as shit for most players, and most stat arrays result in average rather than heroic arrays.
Also a lot of builds just don't work or are one-trick ponies.
Still nice to experience, would recommend, but that's because I got a pretty nice starting package.

Kingmaker (Pathfinder splat)

Traits of the typical Hardboiled detective
>Moral, but doesn't play by the books/doesn't mesh with the police forces enough to be a cop
>Can hold his own in a fight but prefers settling things with guile
>Drinking problem
>Prefers a handgun
>Generates Noir lighting wherever he goes

This archetype doesn't map well to any particular D&D class from the standard lineup simply because there aren't many fantasy detectives, so no classic D&D class was based on it.

>not making a barbarian detective

you're missing out on some fun here

>>43995545

In D&D terms Rogue works better, but honestly I get a fighter vibe from him.

I've got your back, broseidon. Tell me what your campaign is about and we'll see what we can do.

>>43995472
Dude, just take a break. It's better to go on hiatus for a bit before you burn out than it is to let your entire game crumble to nothing because you weren't willing to step back and take a breather.

Let somebody else try their hand at GM'ing for a bit, and take some time to catch a second wind. Your players sound like the good kind, they'll understand.

>>43995472
Run something where the players have a lot of narrative power, give them a problem and let them solve it in new and interesting ways, especially if the players are competing with each other to solve their goals. They will create their own story, you just have to create the foundation for it to flow, and the bulk of the creative load is lifted from your shoulders.

As much as I fanboy this, Paranoia High Programmers is fantastic for just this reason. Small amount of set-up, different every time as your players feud and generally create the story themselves. If your players probably won't be up for it, I've also heard good things about Nobilis.

Just generally find a system that encourages the players to shape the story, and they'll have just as much fun, if not more.

>>43995271
Ok, now continent number and shape

>>43995288
Five major continents in relatively natural positions/shapes. One of them in centered on the north pole though.

Some minor "continents" (see Australia) inbetween. A fairly sizeable number of islands. A little more than Earth. To make up for these two things continents are also a little smaller than on Earth.

>Noah Wells: Tinkerer, Knowledgeable

Being an economist in a post-apoc civ has zero use lmfao.

>>43995034
There are other groups of survivors as well as bandits and such.

So you've got a 50/50 vote, if you're willing to could you be a name fag for the civ? Makes everything easier on me.

>>43995065
Sure, I guess. Now that I really think about it, I think Hodges would a better fit for a leader. So I guess I'm going with him.

Try this

There is a difference between a bad card and a bad card that creates an interesting boardstate. Wood Elemental, for example, is just a bad card. All it does is remove resources from you, and singularly you. That's not interesting, that's a doom blade waiting to blow you the fuck out.

>>43994235
But that's sort of what I wanted to make a mix of; bad cards and some unusual cards that could patch them up. I know it sounds weird but I already have enough "real" EDH decks

I sometimes place rare alcohols as treasure in my games. But it takes a skilled beerologist to recognize it and sell it before it gets drunk.

>What kind of beer

A concoction the lads call "Bugman's fourple ecks" or somesuch. I'm more of an Absinthe type, myself.

I don't think conquering worlds was the primary objective. If they could be annexed through dipomacy, great. If it had a massive factory, a STC and the ruler/s cared only about themselves then you send in the military.

As for your second point, you're thinking logically whereas the Imperium is anything but.

Not annexing Mars was probably his biggest mistake because the imperiu a biggest problem is it doesn't have the technology to do what it needs to survive
