Rent a truck, load it with fertilizer. Mess with football.

What are the internal politics of the temple? Does the high priest have rivals for his position? What is the relationship between the religious order and the secular government of the town? It may have the most adherents but that doesn't mean the civil authorities don't chafe under its influence and may be willing to help undermine its influence.

His vendetta is against _followers_ of the religion, not the bishop. Forcing the bishop to resign won't help his fedora trolling

He straps on his trusty flamethrower and quips 'I guess it's FRY-day!'

He'd probably be a little confused as to why it's a huge revelation that the fish-man has a fish-man for a dad.

The same way any super hero is. You punch them in the face really hard.

Much of the threat of eldritch horrors comes from their utter wrongness and disrespect for what we know of as the laws of reality. However, nature cares little for what "should" happen. Whether it is a weed flourishing in the harsh expanse of a parking lot or rats inhabiting a ship built by creatures of leagues greater intelligence, "nature" makes do in some form or another. Whatever visions he summons, whatever revelations he drops, you will carry on. With the sureness of plate tectonics and the vitality of a hundred times succeeded forest you will pursue your enemy. Create fissures to destroy his summoning circles. Tear his fleshier horrors into bits with thorns and roots, claws and fangs. Wear him away with your constant presence until he is too weak to resist. While he represents the dramatic and alien features of cosmic horror, you are the slow grind of infinity.

Punch him in the face. With the earth.

Manaless dredge is a fun experience for both you and your opponent. :^)

For real tho, maybe reanimator?

The strongest combo deck is probably Storm.

You can also try High Tide.

Sure, plenty. We often play as some.

Yea when you read about monster races they often even give examples of what type in their culture are likely to become adventurers. Pathfinder tends to do it too giving examples like that. Like for kobold its "Kobolds rarely leave their cozy warrens by their own choice. Most of those who set out on adventures are the last of their tribe, and such individuals often settle down again as soon as they find another kobold community willing to take them in. Kobolds who cannot rein in, or at least conceal, their spiteful and malicious natures have great difficulty surviving in the larger world."

I once ran a mini-campaign where the PCs were various undead, left to guard an ancient relic in some forgotten tomb.
Basically the "plucky heroes" took the thing to combat some mounting evil force and the PCs were awoken too late to stop them. The rest of the campaign was tracking them down so the PCs could return the artifact and go back to sleep.

Remember that there are magical planes as well. I only ever use them for quick story arcs myself though, and make them a bit weirder than the sourcebooks.

You could add an asteroid station in the Solar System's asteroid belt. It would be used as a hub for a number of asteroid mining concerns. All of this would be owned by one megacorp, and probably kept secret. Might be hard to justify why the players would end up there but I'm sure you can come up with something.

check out Corporate Shadowfiles/Download as well as the 6th world almanac books for a lot on space.

Obrimos are the most boring motherfuckers ever. D&D wizards and shit.

Acanthus know how to party.

If I made a doorway that was basically a permanent wormhole from my office in New York to my office in Prague, and at a later time, while I was somewhere else, say exploring a ruin somewhere and some sleeper snuck into my office, found the door, walked through it, and found themselves in the other city, what sort of paradoxical consequences would there be?

>>54076504
Typical Obrimos fanboy. Your fingers are so fat you can't even handle the intricacies of punctuation or capitalization.

>>54074006
Apocalypse World works on the basis that reasorces are scarce and communities are important to survival. So you'll need to set it in a place such as the characters have very limited access to important reasources and there are few actual settlements and the ones that do exist are fairly isolated. Other than that I suppose it should run much like any other AW game, just push hard on the moves to keep things moving and it should all go fine.

I'm playing with a bunch of wargamers who've had very little.roleplay experience.

How do.i get everyone, myself included, out of wargame rules mode ?

> chaos
Fuck that shit.
Do a world that is being overrun by the Nids.
Players have to rush around, keeping one step ahead of the swarm.
Society quickly collapses around them- law and order, availability of supplies, even common human decency erode by the day.
Players are rushing to find some way- any way- off planet (space shuttle, warp ritual, long lost web way gate, whatever)
Interesting variety of enemies- from human desperate people, to small gaunts, to lictors, to genestealers and their cultists, to the many big bad monsters.
TL;DR- fuck Chaos, do a Nid invasion

Diablo has a PnP system?

IIRC, it actually does. Can't remember if that was homebrew or not.

This is a /mu/ invasion, isn't it?

Better than the alternatives, I suppose.

Does peter gabriel have stats? What counts as victory in defeating peter gabriel?

Cont. The villagers begin to sabotage the BOS supplies to try and deter them from exploring the base. They blame a group of raiders that used to give them trouble before the BOS moved in. Eventually the BOS still send out a 3 man squad, 2 paladins and 1 scribe, to investigate the base. On their way they are ambushed by raiders. The BOS killed most and took prisoners, blizzard comes in and the BOS are forced to take shelter. They make their way to the base, hanging off a 300 foot cliff. (Think that one base from inception) They turn off the security so they have free reign, turns out they free the lsat remaining wendigo.

The wendigo isn't frreed right away and the group of soldiers and prisoners begins to go crazy two prisoners kill a paladin out of his armor and begin eating him. The other paladin kills them both and resorts to cannibalism. He eventually kills the scribe as well. He makes his way back down saying that his group was ambushed and that there was nothing he could do.

I want him to be slowly turning into a wendigo, going on more missions alone so he can possibly get some more meat. The wendigo that still is in the base has grown intelligent. It can speak and it actually remembers its old life. 300 years of solitude forced him to ignore the hunger. He stays on the base and either kills or manipulates any explorers that would venture out there.

I just don't know what I want to do to end it. Blow up the base? Kill the Wendigo? If that Wendigo is killed will others come back?

I can't find any source for those in 4e. Are you sure it wasn't 3e?

More to the question, an idea I like and want to expand on is 'larvae' - evil souls who return from death in masked, insectile forms.

This is quasi-official conversion work from Robert J. Schwalb's project to convert Epic Level Handbook monsters to 4e.

Well, there's those hobgoblin undead that liquefy living bones and suck them out of people. Then you have the skins of people that come back to unlife and skin people alive.

Lemme think, fuckin uhhhh, there's also shadows. I always liked shadows; in Pathfinder they give templates like the jungle shadow, which can be shaped like a bat and always causes its victims to become jungle shadows.

Laser and gauss weapons require a lot of energy, which means heavy batter packs or shielded cables. So if you want "muh realism" portable weapons, they're right out.

>>54072425
Aimbot level enhancements connected to high tech scopes on Slav shit rifle that shoots explosive autocorrecting midflight rounds.

A taser that shoots a stream of nanites to a target and then a electrical current runs through that nanite stream for a split second to deliver shocks. Technically ammo based because the nanites that shoot out get zapped as well.

And I dunno, gun that shoots globs of sticky matter that expands and then hardens over whatever it hits to ensnare enemies or use it to seal holes in pipes.

>>54072425
Which situation? Ground or space? Against which target? With what logistical support? What minimum level of training? Not to get too /k, but you asked an extremely broad question.

Frankly bullets and missiles might be the most sensible choices for a long time to come, even in a 'sci fi' setting. Especially in space combat. Heat dissipation is a huge issue with laser/magnetic weaponry.

Most good gods would, so long as it's otherwise lawful good and really wants to do this shit.

>>54071423
But don't a lot of the good paladin gods despise undead with literally no exception to the point of black & white fanaticism
