Dwarves are offered free access to a planet full of untapped resources -- one lacking in Skaven and Orcs but full of humans who will happily trade piles of money for a scant amount of riches pulled from the deep.

Its all great, up until the Chaos Gods show up and ruin everything.

Chaos starts to corrupt people on our side due to our lack of knowledge of, or resistance to, magic. While our arms and armaments are vastly more powerful, we desperately need the help of the Old World powers to stop our whole civilization falling to Chaos, handing the Chaos Gods a modern army with which to crush them.

>>43512635
Well for starters Warham Fantasy is a thing.
We can literally ask any neckbeard in their mum's basement on how to resist it.
Or just go on /tg/ and ask.

>>43512088
So, interested? Questions? Am I a faggot?

>>43512088
Interest.

>>43512095
very much interested, was there when it first ran and would like to see it again as long as it doesn't go full crunch as I've never played Exalted before, prefer the story side of things

>>43511796
By what metric? There's almost certainly roughly equal numbers of sci-fi and fantasy rpg's out there. I'd go so far as to say every genre is well represented if you're willing to look around.

If you mean by player count, then that's just DnD/pathfinder domination. Still, there's large fan bases for 40k, shadowrun ect.

No Red Dwarf?

It's probably the most realistic depiction of what an RPG party in space would be like.

Though it's a fair ways off, I do hear the familiar heartbeat of that little punk who I beat up the other day. Fortunately, said heartbeat isn't accompanied with the sound of the ground rumbling so I don't think he's caught on to us just yet.

"How far away is he?" Irene asks, not moving her eyes from the direction that I pointed. "And which one is it? Divine Breath's got an average Synapse range but if it's the other kid we're dealing with..."
"It is," I reply.
"Great," she mutters under her breath. "That one's range is more than two kilometers..."
"Eh?"

Irene lets out a small chuckle.

"Around a mile and a half," she says.
"Oh," I nod.

That more or less matches with his distance, I guess. So assuming that we're outside his range, that means that we're JUST outside it. At least he doesn't seem to be in an area with any other people in it.

A miniatures game that did altitude and 3 dimensional movement in general would be amazing.

>>43511090
Yeah I want an altitude mod for table top

So, kind of a lore noob, slowly crawling through the lit. Can someone explain to me what the Earth Bones are?

The Earth Bones are what fix Mundus into a stable form; it is a term synonymous with natural law. The Aedra become the Earth Bones after Convention, and their corpses are visible in the night sky as the plane(t)s.

Third for Mannimarco's Wild Ride.

Bullet Points: Start ~ 18:00

Delay for quality, i.e. perfection (really belabor this point)
Intended to be an integral part of the game for "years"
Tohaa will NOT be removed from HSN3
More pages than N3 itself by appx 40 pages. Still two books in cardboard sleeve. More fluff than rules.
English version translation is high priority, as other languages are translated from English NOT Spanish
Hector confirmed for ALEPH.
ALEPH and Tohaa will receive large amounts of fluff.

Bullet Points: 18:00 ~ 30:00

Fluff is not only rehash of HS/CP, but plenty of new content
"Black Jack" character for USAriadna
New look coming for Dossiers
New stuff for PanO and Yu Jing
Certain new/updated models may be held up for rules revisions established in HSN3 (example, holoprojector)
Holoprojector L2 gets Surprise Shot
many timing changes
better in some situations, worse in others
similar in magnitude to Camo overhaul
Holoprojector L3 confirmed
Nanoscreen is a "state"
Evo Hacking could develop new play styles for certain armies
Yu Jing is getting lots of redesigns in 2016
new transforming profile
Website updates coming soon
browsing minis will get easier, including fluff descriptions
Chronologically not past campaign paradiso for fluff.
Alien (combine and tohaa) stuff is present
USAriadna (as an example) is past
ALEPH and Tohaa will get more new releases than other factions
other factions may average 1-2
Tohaa specific rules take up a large part of the rulebook
Ideal is to have Tohaa feel very different than other armies

Bullet Points: 30:00 ~ 52:00

After release of HSN3 focus will be on 'Acheron Falls'
definitely not the title of book, just project name
could be too much content for 1 book, may be split in 2 for timeliness
Possible total of 36 armies
Korean troops being tested
Cannot estimate release of any part of Acheron Falls
Shasvasti is going to be a large artistic undertaking
Merovingian is going to be a gameplay redesign project primarily
possible inter-sectorial synergy
"reinforcement" rules idea
more than just a 'theme' sectorial
release may correspond to mass resculpting
Delay of HSN3 was "Right Decision"
December Releases:
Domaru 4 pack
Avicenna (who will also work in Hassassin)
Airborn Ranger (blister) with another later in 2016 with new rules released on Army with model
Desperado Bikers
very similar to Kum Riders: Extreme Impetuous, Irregular, Chain Rilfe, 2x Heavy Pistols cost between 13-18 pts with grenades 8-4 MOV // 4-4 MOV, ARM 1, not dogged
Preceptors w/ Symbiobeasts
G: Synchronized. Similar to antipodes in form an size. Can take 1 or 2. 1 is CC, the other ranged.

ARM 6
Goal is to have ALL profiles on Army updated immediately at release of HSN3
New graphics for Saturation Zones examples coming
New Su Jian
New Release for PanO coincides with release of book

Similar to "Van Zant effect"... which is better??
Intended as high quality, faction specific, HVTs
Dire Foes was very successful, and had enduring sales

Moss dogs, a very obscure Pacific Northwest horror. a large spirt who forms a body from a deep moss bed (is a moss bed?) The size can vary up to grizzly bearish they follow you after you pass and disturb their homes with almost perfect silence they will attack from behind with unnatural force even against numbers as they don't know fear being impervious to crushing and impaling only fire can drive them off/kill them.

Odradek. It looks like a broken bit of kit, but somehow it's always there when making camp or searching a pack. Just sitting there, always. No matter what treasures you lose, weapons you break, comrades you fail, Odradek is still there. Old, retired, adventurers remember Odradek, and when it plagued them. When the last party member falls, Odradek will be there.

>>43509466
Look up speculative evolution, take some interesting animals and exaggerate their traits.

I watched two documentaries on that topic recently which included stuff like:

>huge, boat-like jellyfish colonies populated by spiders
>elephant-squids living in forests
>basicly sharks with a hive mind
>plant-like creatures that feed by drawing nutrients out of the ground and store them in trees on their back
>Towering giants without hands, mouth, etc. They wander a giant cell colony that replaced the ocean, taking bites out of it with their mouth-feet

These things may not hold up to dragons or the like in raw power, but the strangeness should make them great low/mid level encounters.

I dunno, he'd probably continue to be a failure.

I would assume that Tzeentch would Justasplanned really really hard. He would Justasplanned all over the Eldar, the library and Ahriman. Everything would be planned so hard that it wouldn't know what the hell was going on.

It happened in a movie, if I recall. All he managed to do before Unicron-resurrected Megatron (Galvatron?) vaporised him was crowning himself

I want to play a warlock, with the pact being fluffed to be like in Drakengard (both parties are soul linked, and the non-beast has to give up part of themselves).

I need to go back to Drakengard to get the details right.

>Which character idea have you wanted to play?

Been toying with being either a cleric or paliden

>For DMs: Which setting/campaign/story do you want to run for your players next?

As someone who has played a little bit of Rage of Demons, I wouldn't mind running it with my gang. I like how it seems less rail roaded like previous ones.

I'm a relatively new player. I've been playing for a bit over a year now. I'm in a group that runs 2e and 5e. How do you guys feel about 5e in comparison to previous editions of D&D? On one hand, I really like how streamlined it is compared to 2e, but on the other hand I feel a bit more restricted when it comes to character options. 2e feels more logical to me, while 5e feels more intuitive.

>>43506617
Personally, I think it should have it at base, but fair enough. x3 for unarmed is probably too strong, but...eh. Alchemicals always had that weird line where some stuff was directly solar comparable, if slightly more pricey, and whatnot.

And...it's been a rather shitty week for a lot of reasons. So yes, I went into that needlessly antagonistic and angry at....well, nothing, really, so my apologies on that.

>>43506915

I noticed it too believe me, but 3x threshold was far too potent for 3e, and I wanted some progression sense, so I basically made it an add on.

And yes, Alchemicals tended to be a bit more potent than other Celestials (At least comparing to errata sidereals, I don't count Lunars as they're fucked) but a tiny bit under Solars in nearly everything.

And don't worry about it man. We all have shitty times.

Find out how much he's paying Slaanesh for Space Alimony, and get a court order to rescind it

9/10 of the problems in the Galaxy would be solved by the Emperor's death.
