it's shadowrun, the authorities would react to it the same way they react to absolutely everything else: they'd capture them, shove a lot of needles and probes into their asses and keep them in underground cells waiting for them to go berzerk and nuke half the city because they're tired of getting probed all the time by idiot scientists who think probing everything is the only way to get cred.

Pretty sure such things already exist, but they tend to be locational not persons. Since magic is the essence of life, really the only thing that could qualify would be a cyberzombie stapled together with cyber necromancy. Certain metatypes like gnomes have inherent magic resistance, but a full on essence hole would be something... Not alive. A real abomination. An un-thing.

As for how the corps and authorities would react, anon hit it. Experimentation, direction, exploitation, pogroms, etc

Is it time to let the threads die until the shitbag Australian gets thrown in jail and an actual editor fixes the game?

>>43703762
Did he draw sodomy to follow?

>>43703147
He massacred a whole shitload of immigrants who tried to flee into his country.

The reason?
Because they had no capacity to accept them all, and to do so would consign his people to a slow death by starvation and disease, leaving them ripe for invasion by an aggressive neighbor.
A king's first duty is to serve his nation.

>morally gray

Sacrifice the wish for the good of the world or something, it's the ultimate chivalry!

Wish for true love.

>>43702863
Don't make the wish.

Anything you could get with that wish that's worth getting? You can get that without shortcuts. Work hard, defend the innocent, uphold justice, and do it all on your own terms.

>>43702786
>Would you sell your soul

No.

>>43702786
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I don't want the world, I don't want success, I don't even need to be loved. I just want to be alone with my toys. My childhood dream was to live in a world run by robots anyways.

>>43702786
>sell your soul
Assuming such a thing existed, why the fuck would you ever sell it?

Unless of course the afterlife consisted of nothing but unspeakable horrendous torture that you'd never get used to for all of eternity.

>>43702550
Then they would be the same species and their lower halves would shift from piscine to serpentine as they would need them to.
I have no fucking clue what are you expecting us to say here, really.

>>43702550
A better question is, beyond the ability to have two kinds of environments they could live in, what benefit would something like this really confer?

If there's no long-term imperative for such an adaptation, it's not likely to stick around.

I guess what I'm asking is what kind of world would need to exist to spawn such a creature?

>>43702642

Snakes can swim so its doubly useless.

>>43702324
I know that there's an emperor and some "too much power to do anything" chaos gods. I wanna know more.

>>43702324
Essentially, the game and setting started as an over the top, too-ridiculous-for-mama wargame. Humankind ruled the galaxy but because of how fucked their dogma got, bureaucracy became so fucked there could be a whole planet making staples because some clerk was so sleep deprived that's the report he sent. Well, that clerk died shortly after that and no one noticed the difference so for 100 years that planet made staples until an inquisitor with a couple space marines came through thinking that it was a plan of the chaos god Tzeentch to disrupt the Imperium. It probably definitely was. Those were the good days. Now, we can discuss what it has become.

>>43702377
Thanks.
More please

>>43702056
Terrible OP. Can tell you don't play Modern.

Any tips on utron? I kinda wanna build it. I think it will be good in my meta because we have a lot of grixis decks and little fast aggro. Lots of people run snapcaster in U-Tron now, but is it necessary?

>>43703264
Snappy not necesarry. If there is very little aggro you should do well. But the deck is bad in aggro heavy formats, which is why I dropped it to play hulk footsteps.

>>43701736
>Horns
Pretty cool, senpai.

I'm tempted to use them in my Macross game, but I don't know if I want to go all out with the giant aliens.

I think Chiss and Arkanian offshoots probably both count. So yes.

>>43701736
No, but now I'm going to go masturbate to some blue space elves. Thanks OP.

>>43700995
Rule #1: Give it a fancy name. They won't fear some basic shit.

Flumphs.

Their touch turns magic items mundane. Irrevocably mundane. Items touched by a clumpy have to be melted down and recast just so they're possible to enchant.

This is kind of a thing in my setting. Not flumphs, but still.

> I will now Introduce you to Tucker's Kobolds.

From Dragon 127, pg. 3
Tucker's kobolds

This month's editorial is about Tucker's kobolds. We get letters on occasion asking for advice on creating high-level AD&D® game adventures, and Tucker's kobolds seem to fit the bill.

Many high-level characters have little to do because they're not challenged. They yawn at tarrasques and must be forcibly kept awake when a lich appears. The DMs involved don't know what to do, so they stop dealing with the problem and the characters go into Character Limbo. Getting to high level is hard, but doing anything once you get there is worse.

One of the key problems in adventure design lies in creating opponents who can challenge powerful characters. Singular monsters like tarrasques and liches are easy to gang up on; the party can concentrate its firepower on the target until the target falls down dead and wiggles its little feet in the air. Designing monsters more powerful than a tarrasque is self-defeating; if the group kills your super-monster, what will you do next—send in its mother? That didn't work on Beowulf, and it probably won't work here.

Worse yet, singular supermonsters rarely have to think. They just use their trusty, predictable claw/claw/bite. This shouldn't be the measure of a campaign. These games fall apart because there's no challenge to them, no mental stimulation - no danger.

In all the games that I've seen, the worst, most horrible, most awful beyond-comparison opponents ever seen were often weaker than the characters who fought them. They were simply well-armed and intelligent beings who were played by the DM to be utterly ruthless and clever. Tucker's kobolds were like that.

> Continuing...

Someone in my normal group ran Numenera not too long ago.

It lasted 5 sessions before he unceremoniously ended the game because we obsessively investigated every single thing, and that's having bad wrong fun.

I picked this up on a whim not knowing what it was when it was first released. Friends really want to play it. I really want to DM it. But it's a little intimidating, content-wise.

If anyone has run this before how do you go about it?

>>43699443
I've just started running a Strange campaign and from what I can tell there's a big focus on rewarding exploration and for the DM to be more of a storyteller and the mechanics are kind of oriented that way. I've always leaned towards more RP/story than combat so I really like the fact that I don't have to roll ever and can focus on telling the story and setting the scene. It can be intimidating because most of the GM guides just say do whatever you want, which isn't super helpful advice, but it's actually easier to run than you'd think. If you're running Numenera start with the Devil's Spine adventure or something just to check it out and see if you dig it.

>>43698825
So I'm thinking of doing an ERP ironically with a bunch of friends. What is the craziest shit you guys have got?

>>43698929
Go for one of the early F.A.T.A.L. editions if yer looking for the ''craziest''. It has stats for infants for christs sake.

So you guys are just making dnd classes off your weirdo fetishes?

Could I make one with inflation?

>>43698701

yes

Did he know about the Tyranids?

>>43699539
AFAIK nobody did at that point except maybe the Silent King. Remember the main reason they came to the galaxy is the Astronomicon acting as a beacon to them as well as the astropaths.

>>43698701
>To get the Primarchs back?
Yes.

>They're immortal supermen designed to be more powerful than pretty much any foe in the galaxy, they can probably handle their shit regardless of how long you take to show.
No. A lot of the problems came from the planets they were raised on. Shit, look at Angron. What should've been the ruler of the planet was turned into a bloodthirsty berserkermonster who hated everyone because of where he landed. Just one example, mind you.

>Or, if they're really that big a priority, put the damn Crusade on hold and devote a few centuries to search and rescue.
That's pretty much what he was doing. He needed the Primarchs in place and running his armies as soon as possible because even the Emperor can't be everywhere in the galaxy at once. Remember, one of the reasons for the Imperial Webway was because warp travel was too dangerous and unpredictable for a galaxy-spanning empire to reliably use. With the Primarchs on the front lines fighting his battles for him he could devote all his time into the Webway project.

You'd think the go-to would be some sort of steam-powered chainsaw or something, for the pseudo-high tech theme.

Repostan.

Are there canon examples of Celestines who aren't Luna existing beyond the theoretical level and actually giving Mortals power?

The 'monster builder' rules will be nice. Though I'm guessing it'll just be a version of what was already in Mortal Remains. Maybe they'll put a more clear explanation of ephemera, get rid of that god awful diagram from GMC.

I forget was hunter 2e confirmed a thing? Id be nice just so i dont have to cross reference core, GMC rules update, vigil core, and then mortal remains.
