I dunno, seems pretty alright to me.

I dispatched a Culexus to ask but he's not back yet.

Backwards and laughable, I'm sure. But the Tau likely know very well that the Imperium's lost more knowledge than they've(the Tau) ever known.

They laugh and scorn at the gargoyles and holy scripture, until they realize protection against evil spirits is actually a mandatory feature.

I'm planning to have the villain of my current campaign melt the polar cap to reveal Hyperborea within, awakening from suspended animation. He's got plans there and the party must follow.

All I need is a good map of the whole place.

If shields correspond to bust size, that makes the B-Wing's name a little awkward. But not the TIE/DD

Well, naturally. Sloped frontal armor is very important.

Living Campaign Storytime!

>GM's DMPC propositions knight character

>walks off
>behind the scenes bullshit
>Suddenly lady on a bridge interrupts conversation he's having to say she loves him!
>"No, sorry."
>She jumps off bridge to her death. No chance to save her.
>"Bridge is cursed, if you deny somebody's confession, they have to kill themselves, lol."

>Another lady interrupts to say he raped her sister and caused her to commit suicide
>She starts swinging at him
>restrain her
>"Guards, he's trying to rape me!"
>guards materialize out of fucking nowhere
>arrested

Turns out, it was all the succubus' doing behind the scenes. I raised a stink because it was utter bullshit, then suddenly DMPC succubus gets caught by the GM's other DMPC, and the knight is freed. I'm told not to interfere with the GM's important scenes just because I don't understand them. He legitimately told me to just stay quiet if I couldn't handle the roleplay. The knight's player was absolutely pissed.

>GM called out on bullshit, handwaves it away
>threatens everybody, but won't attack us because we didn't kill her
>Hellhound goes to jail
>broken out without any roleplay or rolls by another GM

They had a weird clique of players and GMs doing weird shit behind the scenes that was really against the rules. The rules by which everybody else had to play. The GM's characters were all higher level than most others. They had more money while we got maybe 20 gold for an encounter. One GM even founded another kingdom with all the gold he had, taking his favored players with him. Then all those players suddenly became GMs and they would run encounters for each other so they leveled faster than the other players. Any complaints the players brought up would be blocked by GMs defending other GMs, and the game eventually fell apart.

Christ, that sounds like my campaign in the OP, that campaign was basically the entire group's campaign, where anyone could be the GM if they had an idea for a session, but one of them took charge a bit and essentially got to run the show of stuff dealing with the actual city we lived in. There were other instances of my Bard getting dicked in that campaign leading up to that penultimate incident, not the least of which was another instance of him getting knocked out with magic when he was by himself and waking up with a package sitting next to him.

Not wanting anything to do with whomever was doing this to him, he tried to take the package to the station of the local authorities, which unbeknownst to him until he arrived the chief of that place was the heir to the throne of the king. Bard presents the package to the guards as well as tells them the skeevy circumstances in which it came into his hands, asks them to dispose of it but to be careful in case it's dangerous, then leaves assuming they'll know what to do.

Turns out the box had a bunch of magical runes inside that basically deleted everything in a 20ft diameter, to the point where you couldn't resurrect them because nothing of the body was left behind. Bard gets in trouble for this because it was noted that he was the one who dropped off the package, but everyone that was in the conversation he had afterwards was caught in the blast so nobody was left to corroborate his story about warning them about the potential dangers.

There are homebrew rules for playing one in The Fringe Is Yours homebrewthingymajik. I think it was that one.

Don't really know why or in universe how you would play one, tho.

serious question

if the average man is 180 cm

the average space marine 220 cm

how tall is the the average primaris space marine?

and how tall is the average primarch?

Just ran my first ES session last night, went great. The party is in the archipelago just south of Vvardenfell. My question is this: does anybody have any ideas for plot hooks or adventures that would be unique to Morrowind? Something that could only really be done in Vvardenfell, Morrowind or Solstheim.

Game is set a couple centuries after the events of Skyrim.

Hey, that sounds really fun. What system are you running it in?

>does anybody have any ideas for plot hooks or adventures that would be unique to Morrowind?
What kind of scale are we talking about here? "Kill the rats in the basement" or "Save the world from Dagoth Ur"?

Stuff you could do:
>Find the tomb of Symmacus, recover his corpse and some Ra'athim family heirlooms. Keep the stuff to yourself, sell it to the highest bidder, or turn it in to his descendants for a reward.
>Rescue a nobleman's son from a group of Mabrigash.
>Protect a procession of the dead, heading for Necrom.
>Mer live for a long time, and sometimes grudges be passed on through generations. Descendants of once-important Hlaalu members seek revenge against the other houses, Redoran in particular.

bumping to make sure this thread stays up while I sleep

I'm playing magpies 5th company. At the moment, if I hadn't bought the dark imperium box, I would have more librarians than normal troops.

Some clarity from the person who suggested it-

We're working on our own attempt at a rewrite, and toying with the idea of every class having at least two power sources, one defined by the class and one defined by the specific archetype/features chosen, with things like themes offering you a chance to swap one out. Sources would provide your out of combat utility powers, and maybe some options for in combat utility (Support) powers, although Classes would still have their own defined options on that front.

Minor sources wouldn't have classes to their name (at least initially), but would instead provide a specialised, smaller selection of interesting and fluffy powers that I think would be a cool thing to design, it's just a question of how to make them a valid choice, since the major sources will almost always have more breadth of options available.

One thing I really like about 4e's fluff was the handling of the Barbarian. He went from "dumber fighter who gets really mad" to this sort of tribal champion who communes with the spirits of the primal world to kick ass really hard. That was really nice, honestly.

So, this occured to me when I tried to explain why, but why is rolling for stats bad?

Is it just because of the possibility of rolling a bad or unplayable character, or that on average you'll come out with a character just below the standard array?

playoffs soon lads

Is Best Phat Rat actually a good star player on paper?

What's a good miniature to use as a bloodthirster on a Khorne team? I'm trying to avoid figures that would be impractically large for play.

What's your army besides the storm ravens

Likely bad and unoriginal, made by mashing together ideas I like until they create something someone else beat me to.
So for now, I like dice pools, a mechanic for passage of time like differently balanced phases, and a changing modular board. No idea about the fluff.

A non-modular board with a modular/random build within the set dimensions of the board. The game is based on a magical fae forest you are trying to escape without getting murdered/fucked by far creatures.

Archer: The Board Game for dat ezpz kekstarter cash.

Secret Role deckbuilder. Most of the players are trying to run the Agency into the ground as fast as possible - but one of them (The Figgis) is secretly trying to save it.

If you want some small, simple, and quick to play, Onirim. If you want the exact opposite if that, Mage Knight. In addition to those extremes, any co-op that isn't Hanabi will work solo, and Uwe Rosenberg's games generally have pretty good solo modes. I recommend starting with Agricola for those (also an amazing multiplayer game, if you do find people to play with), and I've heard good things about Fields Of Arle, though I haven't played that one.

>>54544586
Try the Hornet Leader and its relatives from DVG. They're great solitaire wargames.

There was some amazing 15+ year old document for this, but it's been lost in Google results to Board Game Geek and Reddit posts.

I suggest The Plant by Jason Morningstar. Make sure you're drunk or high first.
