So a bunch of supervillains (12) conquer Europe and North America. They believe they are gods and demand worship. This is pretty much the (very underdeveloped) concept.

Where I am now unsure is the time and the the villains themselves. So whether the campaign starts shortly after the conquest or the empire has existed for some time. And what the best superpowers would be to make the conquest credible. But still defeatable for the players.

Thoughts?

1) Are 3D printers currently useful for tabletop gaming?
2) Is this a good one to get?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1403065126/obsidian-3d-printer-high-quality-sleek-and-afforda

I'm tempted to get this for $100 and charge people at my FLGS to use it.

How do you approach this genre? Do you approach it in low magic settings to avoid certain spells that detect lying and reading minds?

Use a Steam, Diesel or Cyber Punk setting for extra flavor?

Focus 100% only on one city or town?

When Horus betrayed humanity, did he have a horde of basement fanboys desperately tweeting to themselves that Lorgar's Pilgrimage was just normal oppo research?

Hello all,

For the first time, our DM is taking us through a dungeon. I'm still rather new to this game, so any advice for a half-elf morlock would be greatly appreciated.

Sup /tg/

I'm going to be a gm for a campaign next week - mixed group of players(from no experience to veterans). I would love to hear your opinions about pitch for a campaign.

>typical mid-high fantasy, European style.
>an island appeared in the middle of naval trade route. It is quite big, with high, and jagged shoreline - there are only few places where you could land without extra equipment, or structutes.
>all countries with access to naval routes send expeditions, PCs came there that way, not necessarily from a single country.
>island is full or ruins, with a slightly Asian and otherworldly feel to them.(impossible architecture, stairs on walls, etc.)
>flora and fauna is weird - skeletal trees with nearly no leaves, rare plants, and land seems Barren. Few of those plants are delicious though. Others will kill you.
>after a month, for some unknown reason to the PCs, island is surrounded by harsh winds. Preventing any ship from departing.
>the biggest ruins in the center appear to fall into the sky slowly, clouds turn dark. No one has seen the sun, nor moon in few days.
>group of high level mages decides to try teleporting to get help. That was week ago.
>tensions rising between nations, adventurers, and mercenaries. Local fauna got aggressive and there are some weird monsters prowling around - they look like mutated animals, or chimeras.
>island appears to be crumbling.
>healing magic somehow gets dispelled after an hour. Making all wounds open again.

Main idea is to make PCs try to either escape, or unravel mystery of the island. I want to mix fantasy with horror elements in an evrirorment with low amount of resources, and high lethality.

I probably won't let players die, buy have them play as a spirits after their death for a while. Not sure about that.

>galaxy sized clusterfuck that has only been "united" from anywhere to a couple centuries to a decade depending on the world
>the military gets gutted in a civil war and the guy who conquered the galaxy gets shanked and turned into a lighthouse
>the empire still stays united for ten thousand years
There are more human nations in Warhammer than there are in 40k. Think about that.

Csm player here. I'm no fan of loyalists but I fucking love beakies, so I impulse bought some off eBay. So now the question is, what do I do with them? I love the old rogue trader style so I've been leaning towards blood angels since they're the only founding chapter I can stand, but I still don't know. Help me out /tg/

How much info do you guys give your players if you're inserting them into a new setting, and how much do you give through just exploration?

Previous thread: >>54303549

These are the 5 (original) members of the gang, and I think many more will follow;
>Our leader "Pit boss": Hideous Appearence-x2
The leader of the group, he is what makes everything work and the gang to stick together

>2nd guy "The Skull": Transparent Skin, Skull Face, Brainless
A mindless drone, who obeys any order it gets, often used as the distraction or attacker

>3rd guy "Albi": Albino
The most normal one, he is the gangs face when dealing with normal humans and other gangs down in the underhive

>4th guy "The Hive": Very fast, Cloud of flies
A fast runner who always seems to be buzzing (pun intended) around and often scout a head of the gang when venturing out in the underhive

>5th guy "Iron": Iron Hard Skin
The brute or tank of the gang, he often shield the rest of the gang during fights before jumping into battle himself

For those who want to roll up new members (let's not do too many too fast, we need to have time to fluff him/her/it out), just roll a d3, and that's how many times you should roll a d100 on the mutation table from the 1st edition of warhammer 40k

How many a game has been hidden away in some deep crag to better survive the ravages of time that it might some day be found by those who will roam these lands a thousand years hence?

If the players were the lowest of the low in the organization, either background characters or equivalent to the weakest main character, which setting would make for the best tabletop game?
