No, I'm not an unoriginal hack.

Often. I find it's much more compelling and interesting to create a setting in which pre-existing figures from mythology and/or history are placed together and to find ways in which they fit most appropriately.

For example, taking Merlin, Galileo, and Thor, then looking into all the history, backstory, and etymology surrounding them to find a cohesive theme. They can become gods, or great heroes, or leaders of nations, but with the right aspects highlighted to bring it all together.

I suppose it comes down to this: do you want to avoid all recognised and familiar figures to try to force originality that doesn't exist, or do you want to try to form a world with a sense of pseudo-reality because of the sources it borrows from?

Those names make sense for pistols, because they are ravenous for death and greedy for souls.

if your concerned about counterfeit, take the whole box to your lgs and ask them to help you compare singles, but from what youve posted that looks like the regular case shipping, just in chinese

Probably just sold by some gook that works in the factory that makes the real Magic cards. It's pretty commonplace.

Holy shit thanks man! Much appreciated.

No worries. You can still get them on ebay for about £10 a pop. Probably best to grab one and cast it.

The AT VOTOMS 1/300 or 6mm miniatures are from GZG and the other vehicles are 2mm Germy Sci-fi.

Therefore, I make a declaration.

Every man and woman who fought on the soil of Cadia.

Every man and woman who bellowed defiance on Armageddon.

Every man and woman, across the breath of the galaxy, who fired a shot in the name of the Imperium on the day before my resurrection...

They are all Imperial Saints.

This is not some empty proclamation. I mean this in every sense of the title.

The Ecclesiarchy shall enter their names in its scrolls of divinity.

They shall be afforded every due honour.

And though it may take a hundred thousand years, and though they may number in the untold billions, and though they may all be dead by the time their turn comes, all shall have their parade of Ascension on Ophelia, all shall be fully entered into the annals, and all shall be recognized as the fullest devotee of my Father.

Of those who stood and fought on the darkest day, all of them shall be remembered in the manner they deserve.

Because they stood. And by the unthinkable bravery of their standing, it can be said, without reservation, that Man now stands..

comes across as a little arrogant - but I can dig it.

>Numerous religious institutions maintained a strong hold on the invention of the print and type setting primarily using it to help in the reproduction of various holy books and allowing limited creation of certain chuch approved publications.
>A monk with a particular artistic bent and not entirely holy thoughts was believed to have made a fortune printing and selling his "art" before he was excommunicated avoiding the death penalty through his newly acquired wealth and the spread of the creation and running of the presses to the masses.

I hate to start out the thread with complaining about 3e's art for the however many-th time, but why couldn't they have used photos like that if they were going to insist on going with only altered photos for their images?

On a less negative note, I've been bouncing around the idea of a school of magick based on HEMAfaggotry, but I'm not really sure where to go after the central paradox (your magick is based on the emulation of a more honorable and straightforward age of combat[citation needed], but its result is the underhanded and occult effects of an Adept). A minor charge would be from having a single bout where you hold your code of honor, since that seems in line with the paradox and is fairly common, but I'm not really sure where to scale up from there. Anyone have ideas?

>>54142243
Make it about the dream of chivalry in the modern age, about dream and delusion, basically Dom Quixote ripoffs, where they get minor charges for acts of bravery and major for succeeding in quests in the old ways. They must always be working towards an honorable quest or else they have no power,

Mutants and Masterminds 3e might be worth a shot, it's a very customizable point buy system that you can build almost anything, including fantasy even though it's advertised as a superhero system.

>>54139905
I heard that mentioned before for high fantasy. Will have a lock

>>54139499

Have you ever tried 4e? Despite a lot of the negative press around it, it's a very fun system if it suits your playstyle.

That last part is important, and why a lot of people got mad about it. If the idea of a lack of obfuscation and revealing disassociative mechanics turns you off, 4e is not for you. It is very clearly laid out, straightforward and direct, focusing on providing a solid and balanced ruleset and trusting you to figure out the fluff side on your own, rather than sticking to the classic idea of a direct one to one relationship, and obscuring it even when it wasn't true.

It's not perfect, there are a few small caveats here and there, and it only really works for more heroic action fantasy games, but if you and your group are on board it can be a really fun ride.

Space Hulk as you said doesn't have that much too it. There are better 40K board games IMO, like the upcoming Heroes of Black Reach. I haven't tried Gears of War, but Deadzone and Doom are pretty fun. Deadzone is a straight up miniatures skirmish game that is packaged as a board game (No measuring though because it uses large grids for movement), while Doom is a much more standard board game.
