How do you feel about mimics, ropers, gelatinous cubes and other monsters designed for D&D solely for the purpose of having foes that take advantage of a stereotypical 'dungeon' environment?
Don't you feel like a lot of these creatures are just a little silly? Like, cloakers that disguise themselves by blending on coat racks as ordinary black cloaks, really? Creatures like these have no right to exist outside out of OSR dungeon crawlers.

They're really dumb unless there's an in universe explanation. The safest, but not only option is that they were intentionally created for this purpose
>>
I mean you can bitch but to make a /tg/ favourite Dungeon Meshi does a great job building up an ecology out of these strange monsters and using it to fuel a story and adventure.
So sure, they're a little silly. It's up to you if you want to abandon them for that or try to make it work.

If the people you're playing with think that female characters are 'degenerate or homosexual' I have to wonder how the GM manages NPCs.
>>
>>54355262
Well, matching sex isn't self-insert. Some groups are OK with crossex play, some aren't.
Also, you are not going to watch your character's butt for hours, so prime reason to create female character is lost in TTRPGs.

That looks interesting, has anyone played with it? I'm considering running a campaign in TES myself, and we would use 5e.
I recently learned about how Mehrunes Razor isn't just a knife that can kill people in one hit sometimes. It's actually a metaphysical surgery scalpel. Is there any other Daedric Artifact that has hidden purposes in the deep lore?

"Legionnaire or Legionary" Edition
For all your questions on Dark Heresy (1st and 2nd Editions), Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Black Crusade, and Only War.
Not the wargame, not Chapter Master, not Space Hulk. Inquisitor is okay, but not many people know about it.
Not sure between starting Dark Heresy 1e and 2e? Pick 2e.
>Why did FFG lose the 40k RPG License?
Because they were bought by Asmodee and that caused some sort of licensing conflict.
>Will GW make their own 40k RPGs now?
Probably not. But if they do it will likely be worse than you could possibly imagine.
Book Repositories (If you're planning to download any Rogue Trader materials, read the .txt file in the RT directory)
https://mega.nz/#F!Pl0UgbJa!vDtTXMKnvZ26fUbuw4X9tg
There is a new Homebrew Megafolder option in above MEGA directory containing several things.
40K RPG tools, a site that contains stats or references for almost all weapons, armor and NPCs/adversaries. Not updated past DH2 core.
http://www.40krpgtools.com/
40k RPG Combined Armory (v6.48.161023), containing every piece of gear in all five lines. Now includes all DH2e books.
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/i3akv9qx9q05z
The Good, the Bad, and the Alpha Legion (v1.0.0) (Total Conversion Deathwatch into the Horus Heresy)

In terms of equipment, about the time most of the group is in power armor (or similar) and wielding plasma/melta/bolters. Not much is going to live through that unless you throw DW mobs at them.

So how will they officially squat Manletmarines? Enormous cataclysmic event kills off 90-98% of them, leaving the rest to upgrade to Primaris? Manlet Marines revolt against Bobby G en masse in fear of their obsolescence? Or will they all simply be PRIMARIS'd after a certain amount of time has passed?

Probably phased out over time. No new minis or updated rules.
In a few years primaris and normal marines will be rolled into the one unit of being space marines. The fluff differences will be forgotten and GW will not produce any old manlet marine models.
>>
>>54380409
Same way they squatted SoB.
>>
>>54380409
No actual reason to.
The first foundings especially have no reason to surrender their long time autonomy to the whims of a radical techpriest, and do you think Cawl will teach chapters how to produce their own primaris?
Especially considering that primaris work fundamentally different on the table, it would be like squatting GKs because Custodes are an army.

Depends on which one

He has a fucking plasma gun and an endless supply of AoE healing pots. The mimics end up playing hide for your life as S76 goes on a justified genocide on them.
>oWoD where cosmic shit is taken to an 11 and Anthelios is sentient. Everyone in this setting survives by manipulation and subversion
The Sabbat would have a fun time turning him into a real solider. Considering hes still mortal, he'd make one hell of a ghoul

How many skills is too many for a fantasy game?
I'm playing in a game with 120 skills. I've tried to whittle it down to something more manageable, like maybe 50? What's the sweet spot for # of skills in a medium-crunch game?

Without specifics this doesn't mean much. Are you using GURPS? 3.5? How specific are these skills? How difficult would it be for players to accommodate the challenges of these skills with what they have in character creation?
>>
>>54379655
120 skills is too many. I can tell you that immediately.
A game should aim for somewhere in the neighborhood of "there are enough to provide some distinction" and far away from "do you expect me to read all this shit."
Some of the best games in recent memory have cut down their skill lists to absolute bare bones and the results have been pretty good. I'd say in most cases you want to consider 12 skills that are outside the standard adventuring skills to call out.
Most adventurers can do things like forage, climb, swim, dungeoneer, etc. Things that are appropriate to their backgrounds and profession, basically. But not every adventurer is going to be a trained cook, or locksmith, or artificer, or alchemist, or clergyman. Those are the things you should be emphasizing with your game's skill system, whatever it is.
I like 13th Age's Backgrounds because they tend to provide players with a primary skillset that makes sense for the character, a secondary skillset that's a bit more esoteric, and occasionally a third one that's very specialized.
>>
>>54379655
What game is that? I would love to play a game with 120 skills.

Hey guys,
I want to buy settlers of cation, but don't want to spend 40 dollars. Is there a similar game that is cheaper and better / more nuanced?
I am happy to spend the money if the board was made of something other than cardboard.
Any ideas?

Something has been bothering me for a while, but what exactly does a being like a Beholder do when it's placed in a vacuum? Not a literal vacuum, but a place completely devoid of any other beings: no other beholders, no people, nothing sapient at all- maybe just plants, animals, etc.
Just completely alone.
Would they be "happy" or do they just go insane? Start accusing the deer and birds of plotting against it? Will they make anything or will they just dig a weird hole and think themselves to death?

Paranoia doesn't require the presence of other people. It could think others are plotting against it without ever seeing evidence that these "others" exist at all.
