he bout dumb as shit

The Emperor couldn't really comprehend the idea of things not going his way. After millennia of getting whatever he wanted because he was a stupidly powerful psychic demigod, his ego was so massive that he thought the Chaos Gods would be helpless to stop him, or potentially too scared of him to even try something.

>The Emperor couldn't really comprehend the idea of things not going his way
Hadnt he almost gotten choked out pretty soon before he bailed back to Terra though?
And besides the Gods had already scattered the Primarchs showing that they were attempting to stop him directly. Should have been a big warning sign.

Catch and throw back

I mean, you can find most PDFs online.
Even D&D 5e officially released its basic rules on their website, and you can download all the books from the /5eg/. All you'd really need to print is the character sheets if you have a laptop.

>>54616632
Oh yes, I know. I was actually talking about "The Settlers of Catan" type of games rather than role playing ones.

Like I really would like to play the "A Game of Thrones: The Board Game" but I can't do that as I don't have the pdfs of the board, cards and such and I also think that it would be quite troublesome to print so much document.

>>54616586
All of Sirlin's games (Codex, Puzzle Strike, Yomi, Flash Duel, in order of fun imo) are great for PnP.

You can even rip off most of the card images from the site, of you are that cheap of a bastard.

So you made a necromancer who wanted to be a hero of Justice through pragmatic keikakus but ends up just suffering?

>>54616122
I made a friendly necromancer but the GM saw a diabolical schemer where there wasn't one. Events happened and the GM accidentally dumped a shitload of stuff that ended up making him SUFFER because he misjudged the character. Eventually he evolved into an unscrupulous anti-hero Kiritsugu style.

>>54614762
I want to see actual 3-d combat in a setting that allows it.
I want to see privateering, swashbuckling, and acrobatics.
I want lewds to be kept offscreen and romance to take its place.
And fuck you with a power drill.

>>54614778

I get that, but is there any specific sub class or anything that's based around issuing challenges and wielding a big ass sword?

>>54614798
What do you think 'smite evil' is if not a challenge

If you must ahve something thats specifically a challenge, play a Cavalier

I think Demon summoning is often considered the most Evil of the three, with Blood magic being the least.

Blood magic is creepy, and may have a corrupting and sadistic element to it, but unless it's the only sort of dark magic around, then it's probably more neutral by comparison.

Necromancy would be on par with Blood magic, maybe a bit less, but that's only for spells that don't create undead directly, like your life-draining damage spells. Anything that's actually making undead tends to be depicted as more sinister, and there aren't many settings where raising an army of undead isn't evil to do. Still less evil than demons though, because undead are pretty mindless even if they attack anything living while not being controlled.

And of course, summoning demons tends to be pretty diabolical just due to the fact they can think more. Unless there's some pretty strict controls in place, odds are it'll wreak havoc and cause a lot of mayhem.

The only way to really justify them is if they're either not a specialty and using them rarely for extreme circumstances, or if they are a specialist in it, but do so in a regard that they focus on control and moderation above all else.

Think of it like Arcane magic users in Dark sun. All magic defiles the landscape, and the only way to really be a good magic user is to draw from your own life force and otherwise cast very sparingly and cautiously.

Necromancy is probably the most obviously unethical, although a small handful of settings have cultures in which certain limited uses of it are considered acceptable.

Demon-summoning doesn't look good on a resume, but plenty of folk tales have characters who trick or compel demons into doing their bidding. If it goes poorly, it was a cautionary tale about thinking oneself too clever. If it goes well, our protagonist is a clever folk hero. Standard warlock stuff, basically.

Blood magic is usually seen as a "risky" power source, but not necessarily an evil one. Harming oneself for power is okay. Sacrificing others isn't, usually.

I feel like necromancy is usually justified as a utilitarian enterprise, since it's (relatively speaking) the safest of the three. Demon-summoning is the most risky, justified by reassuring everyone else that everything's under control, or that the risk is necessary or worth the pay-off. Blood magic: "I haven't run out yet!"

God, that is just the worst fucking pose.

Like, I get that it's an in-motion pose they're going for, but it just looks...bad.

>>54614075
Hopefully since they're multipart we can actually pose them correctly.

The super posability of the Redemptor Dreadnought gives me hope for the rest of the range.

What do you think Grombindal's been there this whole time for? There's even some tongue-in-cheek reference to a Black Goblin he hates.

>Right, it’s racism. It’s not that you just get sensitive when you’re given advice.
>Clockwork
>You hear the same piece of advice in your life a hundred times when you’ve done nothing to show you need it, and we’ll see what you think.
>2XL

So did the authors of Complete Trog forget that Clockwork is a hobgoblin, aka "the orc metatype so hideous and accused of hair-trigger tempers that they are entirely reviled everywhere they are found"?

I swear, this whole book is just character assassination of 2XL.

Does Shadowrun have any deadly air rifles?

Does anyone have that giant analysis of all the martial arts options available in Run & Gun? I'd like to make a martial artist for shits and giggles so it seems handy.

Hitting your allies or bystanders is more likely than you'd think, however weapons jamming or breaking is less common. Even a 1 in 100 chance for a gun to jam on a given shot is too high if the shooter knows what they're doing and the weapon is well maintained.

There is a gap between what sounds like it will be fun, and what is actually fun.

>>54612833
In a non-serious game, it's decent for chuckles. In a game where you want the party to feel like they're a bunch of unlucky bastards, it's a good rule. Otherwise, it might not fit well.
