I'd consider reading the DMG first. The whole thing. There is much more info and suggestions in there than you probably realise.

>>54259443
Try and guide them away from it. Personally I see it as the spotlight focusing on only one character and the rest of the party is playing back up to this one player. And if he does gain that political office, its basically roll a new character. What, you just got elected mayor of this town, you ain't got the time to go gallivanting in caves and dungeons.

It might be better if the players were helping an NPC into political office and have them run all the background errands and back room deals and defense and counterattacks against enemies.

>>54259443
I'd look them in the eye and tell them that if they intend for their character to go down that track, he's retiring and becoming an NPC.
We are playing a game of adventure on the high sky-seas, not a game of political maneuvering. If you want something I'm not offering, it's not happening with me GMing this campaign. This isn't your personal sandbox.

If it's a pricing error they will cancel the transaction and send you an email explaining it.

Source: same thing happened with some model kits a while back I tried to buy, and that's what they did.

>>54258719
I wouldn't trust them

they look a little dicey

Nice doritos, man

Not much to say. They look like generic dice, the kind your GM has a bucketful of. Nothing wrong with them either though.

>>54258065
Pretty sure it's just the limited edition out so far so don't expect to see that turned into an epub or pdf.

>>54260276
Mine is still "Awaiting packaging" according to BL. 2nd time this has happened with a pre-order in the last few months.

>>54258065

Haven't read it yet but the Perturabo one is kinda meh.

The parts about his youth are awesome, showing him to even greater depth than in Angel Exterminatus.

Then come the part right before the Purge of Olympia which are pretty much "blam! boom! ka-blooy!" with no plot at all. Even for 40k standards.

Can you cut them apart and wear their skin? This is important,

>>54257920
Of course.

While not complete, here is a document on Monster Hunter in D&D 5e:
https://github.com/Scaatis/Monster-Hunter-5e/releases
My general advice: Don't run Monster Hunter in D&D 5e. It's not designed to actually challenge the players with a single boss monsters, they have too many tools at their disposal. If you still do, don't do what it says in the pdf and instead give the monster several full-valued turns per round.

>>54257705
I'd use Star Trek Adventures, the new Modiphius game. It's pretty good for Trek stuff.

>>54257875
Does that even have a released core rulebook yet?

>>54257977
Yeah, it does. I think someone over in /stg/ has a copy uploaded somewhere.

>>54257546
>and you can level like a character in theirs
well fuck, I shouldn't have played FATAL then

>>54257562
Well, what class would you be then? I hear basket weaver is hot right now.

>>54257546
>They were happy.
Well shit. The last character I played to completion was a NE antisocial drow wizard who by the end of the campaign was basically 40% prosthetics and 30% burn scars. His post-game happiness came from our horrifically evil party instating themselves as kings of a country, after fighting a zombified tarrasque and the lich controlling it to death in the ruins of it's capital.

So, guess it's time to become a loyal henchman.

>>54257161
I liked 5e's version that named the powers you'd get as a vampire from known Gothic, Horror, and Thriller fiction that sometimes involved vampires, where it built you towards a stereotype of vampirism whilst still adhering to a rough hierarchy that felt similar to how clans are in VTMB.

Since skeletons don't have muscles to begin with, how do we determine how much strength each swing has?

What about how high they jump?

How high can a skeleton jump with his hands?

The more you ask, the more questions arise.

>>54256089
You'd think there is some sympathy (in the magical sense) involved and that's why the skeleton walks around like a human and not just a big floating pile of bones. It operates by mimicry of its former living existence, which also means that the head is where it sees and hears things.

>>54256089
Consciousness with magic still likes to take the general shape of the thing it was before, with the primary control system in the brain area. Disrupting that so readily makes the "mind" freak out. Loss of arms/legs is significantly less shocking for the same reason.

It's also why non-human/godlike entities possessing things other than a body specifically designed for them tend to break apart/explode.

>>54254800
checked

also it'd be as easy as asking the folks at your local tabletop or even local craft store.

i use this shit religiously. an essential for model painting

CLEAN YOUR BRUSHES WHEN THEY'RE STILL WET
ALTERNATIVELY USE PAINT THINNER

>>54254726
I'd probably take a few years and just fuck around. Ive got enough money for a ticket to anywhere. Id probably break every law a few times over, play some video games. Brute-force some bank accounts late in the game maybe.

>>54254726
>like in Groundhog Day.
But then I'd have to improve as a person and fall in love to escape, which is perhaps a far more terrifying notion than a set number of repeats.

Haven't played since 1e, are double sixes still horribly broken?

>>54254127
You can make more energy counters with Proliferate, right? It's not as bad as Arcane cards, which are completely dependent on using more cards from a single block

>>54254127
Most things that spend energy give or make energy tho. Without other cards it becomes charge counters that you can spend on anything. It's not parasitic as Arcane

>>54254127
I think a better question is what would YOU have done instead? Considering your complaints, I figure you have an alternative.
