Uh. How am I supposed to login as a guest?

>>43641803
Just a small thing, but in the last sentence of the Lamia description, it should be 'due' and not 'do'.

>>43641765
currently you'll have to roll a character, since we just have the one guest account enabled and if someone's logged in as it, you can't share it. Rolling only takes a couple minutes unless you really want to minmax your character, though.

Well, if she knows things, you might as well see what she’ll tell you. She already told you about Cadwyn – even if it doesn’t really relate to your current situation, you definitely didn’t know about that before. “Why’s Big Yellow so hot for Roger, anyway?” you ask. “He’s not that good-looking, he’s just Canadian. Don’t tell me Hassatur’s his dad or something crazy like that.”

There’s a serious glint in her eye at the question, her expression drawn. “Roger is the King in Yellow’s nephew,” she says. “The king thinks his assistance would be useful. I do not believe he wishes to harm him.”

That feels like a lie. “Don’t tell me he just wants to chat,” you say.

Hildegard smiles slightly. “Tell Roger what I told you. Let him judge.”

“What about Sulkrasph, then?” you ask. “You know if he really just wants me to help him win over hell and become the next Imperiate?”

“Sulkrasph knows he has no uncontested claim on the Imperiacy while you breathe,” says Hildegard. “But he does not seek the Imperiacy. He seeks hegemony. You have royal blood and an inheritance of nations. He would gladly welcome an alliance, erase the enmity between you, and support you to regain your birthright.”

You scoff. “What if I take him up on it and he just shoots me in the back of the head when I’m not looking?”

Hildegard sighs. “You underestimate others’ estimation of your power. He considers arranging your death entirely more difficult and wasteful than extending a hand of cooperation.”

“Yeah, so he can control everything himself,” you say.

“And yet you would still be the crown Imperiate,” she replies, shrugging. “The title is not honorary. It carries meaning.”

You narrow your eyes at your dad’s ‘friend’, finding it difficult to focus specifically on her. “You know, the only thing I’m thinking poorly of you for is that you’ve got the worst timing. The worst. And like, out of everybody I’ve run into this summer, you’re the only person who knew David who also knows that he’s dead. Just saying, kind of interesting,” you say.

And suspicious. Your dad kept to himself, or so you hear.

Hildegard hesitates for a moment. “I am kept well informed,” she replies, snapping out of position a couple feet to the left.

>I don’t get why everybody and their dog can’t leave me alone for ten fucking minutes.
>Yeah? By who? Who are you working for?
>So what happens if I get on my bike and ignore your advice about giving up?
>You seem like the kind of person who makes a lot of bad decisions, but this is a heads up - getting in my way is another bad decision.
>How does Cadwyn factor into all of this? Like. Why does he or it care?
>Say I’m actually thinking about my options. What’s better here?
>If you legitimately want to help so bad, why don’t you, you know, actually help, instead of giving off creepy vibes from the sidelines?
>Other (?)

A lot of African tribal masks have the potential to be intimidating or spooky.

Play the PC adventure game Scratches.

Feels Garuda, man.

Because the nobility knows 99% of the adventurers will die. Best-case scenario, the adventurers recover a long-lost treasure or defeat an ancient evil threatening the kingdom, and the nobility loses some of its cash.

It's like a human lottery.

>>43640974
Because by tying the adventurers to their nobility they ensure
1) they stick around to help out. No one is going off to raid a jungle temple if the orcs are busy raiding the estates back home
2) They become aligned with the nobles within the country rather than with the church, the city dwelling bourgeois, or god forbid a different country
3) These adventurers invest in local infrastructure to try to improve their land or standings. Feasts, mighty castles, ultra fancy clothes, these all cost money and in most cases that money will flow into local coffers rather than distant foreign lands

>>43641074
>>43641001
Combine these two and, in a nutshell, you get the most competent of the adventurers as defenders of your realm and, being used to a lifestyle of spending what you have while you have it since you may die soon, more likely to spend in your holdings.

Railroading is one of those terms that have extremely nebulous definitions.

>>43640764
Depends on how you define railroading, though I'd say almost all compaigns have some reailroading at the start. You're not going to just say "You're in a tavern, where do you go?", you have to present some hooks or something. Usually a strong hook related to a planned BBEG that will get them started, not just killing some rats etc.

Why is /tg/ so fucking hung up on this term "railroading"?

Look, I know 99% of you are players who have no concept of what goes on in a game besides "LOL I CAN DO ANYTHINg!" and you've never actually stopped to consider that not all, not even fucking most games are "open sandboxes" for you to shit in.

You guys spend so much time harping on the concept of "railroading" that you make people who eventually go on to become DMs terrified of the notion of accidentally committing that one cardinal sin of giving their players an actual narrative rather than letting them fuck around and punch peasants in the face for 4 hours a week.

Look, you are not "railroading" because you give your players a narrative to follow. You are not "railroading" by having details of the setting push them back on track of the narrative if they stray too far or lose the plot. You are not "railroading" if you punch your players in the face for deciding that the campaign they sat down to play doesn't involve enough wacky shenanigans so they want to wander off and go somewhere else. What you're doing is called being a fucking DM.

And fuck every single player who has ever insisted "My DM runs a sandbox game with no plot and we do whatever we want and it's super fun!"

That's a funny way of spelling best

Salamanders are boring as fuck. Yes they haven't been ruined by shits like Ward and Goto, but they haven't been elevated by greats like McNeil and Abnett either.

>>43640821
Iron Hands and White Scars are just as bad (boring).

Five out of the hundred vault residents have guns and acces to ammo

The vault experiment was LARP.

>>43640482
He mimics the appearance of dead servants to listen in on higher-ranking nobles/counts/etc plans to do X, then he changes into them and approaches the person their plan/assassination/etc involves and reveals the whole thing and then runs away. He does this countless times to the right people and you could have endless chaos unfold everywhere.

>>43640482
>he cannot tell a lie?

Do people realize this is a shit tier rule?
>tell me where the bomb is
>In the city ;^)
>Buth u cannt liee!!!
>I didn't.

>>43640593
Well, it's a genre staple.

Because its a really easy character to fuck up the role play for, while being such an idealistic character to play. The concept is beautiful, but on the table it's alot harder to pull off properly.

>>43640421
My emotions right now are annoyance, due to you shitting up the place with your thinly veiled smut thread about female paladins, as if we haven't had discussions like this a billion times before.

>>43640421
>waifable
If your paladin has low Con, then you're playing them wrong.

And here's its complimentary pair

>>43640423
Why would you need to say that it's in a good way, if the other one shows that it's a bad disgusting?

Speak for yourself. I get a look at everyone's character sheets and then run elaborate simulations between sessions to determine how exactly take everyone down at once if needed. Taking into account their playstyles and personal foibles.

Whatever floats your boat, pal.

>>43640113
I actually do memorize the stats of other players so that I can meta strategize in fights better.

>>43639916
They obvs. listen to Jarre.

They listen exclusively to doom metal and if you think otherwise you're objectively wrong

Arcadia Quest is the better game desu, at least Vs SDE: 1st edition.

I'm not a fan of kickstarting but from what I heard relic knight is garbage.

>relic knights fiasco
I'm not sure I follow. Care to explain for those of us just now hearing about it?

First for OP is a fag because the other general is still up.

Was helping my returning friend with his ork list and someone pointed out we were retarded so I fixed it a bit.

We are mostly going to be playing Maelstrom games.

Armies included: Ultramarines, Dark Angels, KDK, Necrons, Spacewolves and Tyranids.

What are some improvements he can make for 1250 and 1500?

How will he deal with Dakka Flyrants and Heldrakes?

HQ:

Warboss - Bosspole, Eavy Armour, Power Klaw and Shoota - 69pts

TROOPS:

11 Shoota Boyz + Nob with Boss Pole, Power Klaw and Shoota + Trukk - 153

10 Shoota Boyz + Nob with Boss Pole, Power Klaw and Shoota + Trukk - 146

10 gretchin + Runtherd - 35

ELITES:

10x Burna Boyz

FAST ATTACK:

Deffkopta - 30

Deffkopta - 30

HEAVY SUPPORT:

Battlewagon - 110

9 Lootas - 126

10 Lootas - 140

Deffkoptas are best with Rokkit Launchas. Throw a Dakkajet in there to deal with most flying shit. Who is the Warboss going to wheel around with? I've found that Burnaboyz don't really carry their weight, as anything that gets them where they need to be dies too quickly to be effective.
