Negative. But I bet he could use the advice as well!

One time, in Black Crusade, a player of mine challenged a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch to make a battle of wits.
Now, this wasn't a challenge you could cut through with a powersword. It wasn't something you could tackle with lore skills too.
So, I dropped a player into 21-dimensional starmaze.

Choose a perk

>Scrounger
You will find more caps in dead bodies, containers ...etc

>Contractor
You can get better deals/rewards from more ...professional and more sophisticated individuals in the wastes

>Salesman

>Hobo'a Luck
You can spot valuable objects in the middle of some trash/debris...etc

>Light fingers

>None [Save it for the next shuffle]

>Epic6 (E6) is a variant of the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition
Stopped reading.

It and Epic 8 do a good job at stopping the game before casters outpace martials completely while making it feel grittier-going up against a dragon feels like a planned process that takes resources and tactics, not an encounter that should be balanced for 4 x level players. That being said, there's more work from the GM to make sure higher level encounters work within the Epic 6 or 8 framework, and some settings need to be revisited before being used in e6 or e8.

I'd rather just play something different than try yet again to fix the broken mess that is D&D 3.x.

I had a squad of Imperial Guard, lead by a Commissar, versus Necrons. After most of my squad was murdered by Gauss fire from the Immortals, the squad rolled a morale check and failed.

Now, there were only two units left. The Commissar, and a guardsman. The Commissar's special rule kicked in, and he shot the Guardsman in the face...Then charged the Necron lines alone.

To his credit, he took out two Immortals with his power sword before he went down.

One of my favourite moments was the very first game of 40k I ever played. A friend of me plays Dark Eldar and had a few armies from two friends of him (that have like 3-4 armies each) with him to show us the game.
So we have a 6e 1100 points 4-Way battle between:
>Black templars, 10 Man Crusadersquad with Emperors Champion in a Land Raider Crusader, 5 Terminators with Cyclone and another Crusadersquad on foot.
>Space Wolfs, Logan with 5 wolfguard-terminators, a few squads of grey hunters and longfangs
>Dark Angels, Pure deepstriking Deathwing with a dreadnaught
>Dark Eldar: Archon with huskblade, Sliskus, raider with warriors , a talos, incubi and a razorwing.

I might be forgetting something, but that was about the setup.
My footsloggers get almost raped to death by longfangs and only two marines remain, Tank gets blown up by the razorwing and the guys inside underperfom against kabalite warriors, almost dying in the process. The Terminators are killed by the Deathwing, which in return gets killed by Logan. Total chaos and confusion until the end.
I have the Emperors Champion with 4 crusaders and the two lonely marines that only survived because a bunch of incubi started hacking up the longfangs.

Then everyone notices that i'm the only one holding any objectives and win the game with 6 models left.

I played a lopsided abortion of kill team once
>one guy had all his guard which amounted to a squad and a leman russ
>I had a squad of Chaos Terminators
>Another guy had a venerable dreadnought
>Me and the dreadnought had to gank the guard guy
>attempt to do so
>dreadnought raped the guard and destroyed the leman russ
>but not before a single fucking guardsman killed three of my Terminators then failing leadership

>On similar, did he realize he loved her after she was fried because her lack of soul stopped tainting his perspective?

Possibly. It's always arguable that the massive swing he experienced from her lack of soul was mistaken for love.

>>43944649
Who's this? Eisenhorn in the past and present, obviously, but the rest?

>>43944676
They worked together for so long and so intimate, combined with the fact he never really kept a long term female companion to compete with her makes me think he loved his soulless prostitute.

>>43944461
> Brotherhood of Nod

I'm all ears here.

>>43944461
So they specialize not only in guerilla warfare, but also in inciting uprisings?

>>43944461
>Stealthy Tactical Marines.
>Laser Oriented Heavy Weapons
>Tech-marines have advanced combat Servoskulls/Servitors
>Experimental Cloaking (unlikely)

You could always try matchmaking on roll20 or similar websites?

>>43944232
>entirely at your discretion
>you can use ... as a guide

>>43944232
Because 5e is gamist not simulationist, and earning wealth in-game is more fun than starting out rich.

Also, levels 1-3 are apprentice territory. You don't even get your oath as a paladin in until level 3

>>43944232
Because this game doesn't scale as strongly with equipment as other games, so there's no reason to dress people in bits and baubles like a fucking christmas tree.

Plus, as long as some functional baseline is met, it's generally speaking more interesting to have less than more in a game where acquiring interesting things is a primary motivator.

>>43944151
By not playing that trash

>>43944151
By getting good you scrub

Seriously, why the fuck do you want other people to tell you how to play the game?

>>43944151
That game looks like a fucking mess.

>>43944149
Werewolves?

Werewolves and vampires have been done. How about some kind of troll or bog monster for some musketmen to slog through the marshes to hunt.

The forces of the Yankee government

>>43944035
keep trying until it hurts and then some?

>>43944035
Keep trying. We are out there, but most give up after some awful experiences.

I gave up on online GMing for a year after I got two groups back to back who flaked on the first session. All of them.

>>43944035
What makes a good GM/player varies from person to person. All you can do is keep trying until you find someone who fits. I've never flaked on a game in my life, but I have left countless ones. I've met tons of people who love my GMing, and just as many who've run away trailing a cloud of insults.
