One thing I always liked about Rifts was all the weird magic.

I mean, Nazca Line Magic?!? Who thunk up all this stuff?

Fulgrim. It's hard to be the best primarch hands down both in lore, stats, personality, appearance and fluff.

Konrad Curze grew up on the south side of chicago with no dad and had no education.

Perturabo. It's hard to be so smart and amazingly autistic that you can't relate to anyone.

The fact that you don't instantly house-rule this oversight says everything about your problems with playing tabletop wargames.

You will receive no points, and may the Emperor have mercy on your soul.

So, I assume Jack Chick would be the "that guy" of the group.

>>54102966
Gary will likely run ADnD, you may change the edition or even run a different system if you become GM, however Tolkien wants a fantasy game, Chick will hate anything you play regardless of system or setting, Gary prefers DnD but might be willing to play other systems as long as he feels you will do a good job as GM, Lewis loves fantasy but also has an interest in sci-fi

So we use Warhammer Fantasy as the setting right?

>>54095494
I'm working on a setting where the GREAT WAR hasn't happened yet. In a lot of ways this world is still in a late 19th century Golden Age, with great new innovations and wonders appearing every day. The old horrors of yesteryear, the goblins and the ghosts and the eldritch things which once bumped in the night, are all but eradicated by modern man. Soon, all the ills of mortality should soon be solved.

Sure, everyone knows some sort of war will break out on the continent, sometime. But war's Good for the state, right? And it's not like weaponizing those old horrors could make things worse...

>>54095494
Is there a Great War/WWII equivalent in your setting? Tell us about it
Something like that, not technologically but in my setting the dark lord of darkness basically got summoned trough the failure of the heroes. He flash conquers and seduces some leaders to get allies and it essential becomes a world war, because the whole world knows its "fight this guy or suffer" from every two bit god and spirit.
Now first its a downhill battle of retreat, all the countries are fair ruled by fair kings and leaders, the elves have no idea of cruelty so they of course emulate how they have been waging wars the past thousand years: Meet the enemy on the feild, try to beat them trough superior force and showmanship and minimize the amount of deaths on both sides. No use of magic for harm and no biological weapons.

Of course that's retarded since its the lord of darkness, right evil cunt he is with his demon armies. Now thats also his fall, he's an evil cunt who believes in his evil supreme, he's the most brutal, terrifying creature of them all and all his enemies are to weak to basically be worse than him. /1

>>54096507

Well... long story short 50 years of fighting a failing war against the dark lord made the people of the land real fucking sour. Now the non-demon allies he's gathered are all basically corrupted by his evil but they are still half themselves, so of course when he starts killing every demon, king and general who got tortured into a blubbering idiot for no other reason to be evil they obviously choose fighting him, inside his territory.

Well he falls shortly after, world scarred to hell and back, good gods abandon their people because the transactions they've commited, spirits are real upset at everyone and some fuck split a world ending mcguffin and threw it whilly nilly across the world. Bit of an reverse double edged sword though, while the kind, good natured world which got dungeon keeper'd might be a shittier place for it, gods could no longer be distant and slowly drift away into letting the world be as they have done every so often. It also gave birth to one of the strongest and generally most good natured empires the world had ever seen from where the dark lord had ruled. with a powerful paladin order and rich economy

The game is Oriental Adventures (adnd 2e), AKA the precursor to l5r and other cool weeb games. Before you run away, hear me out: Don't be intimidated by second edition. It's easy to learn and super rad. We're going to start a brand spankin' new campaign as soon as we get a couple more peeps involved. It's gonna be bangin'.

Ctrl+f gamefinder next time, ok ?

Hide it in a dark cellar! No way do they want to have their plots and peccadilloes on public display!

Charisma, but it depends on several factors.
Are they fit?
Are they skinny, fat?
Is it Musclefat, like a World's Strongest Man competitor?
How old are they?
These are all crucial.

Can you summarize what a Killer7 campaign would look like?
I know too vaguely about the game and never played.

>>54153039

Not OP, but from what I remember, Surreal weirdness, a dark style, conspiracies, absurd, grotesque stuff, exploring urban spaces that contain weirdness and being a team of specialists who all have their special ways of solving obstacles and beating stuff up.

If you want to get artsy, throw in possibly not existing at all.

OP here, here's a brief plot summery from Wikipedia:

Killer7 takes place in an alternate version of Earth in the early 21st century.[5][6] After a treaty ends all international conflict, the world powers destroy all nuclear weapons by firing them into the upper atmosphere and intercepting them with other missiles. This event becomes known as "Fireworks" and symbolizes world peace to the general populace.[7] In an effort to combat terrorism, pandemic disease, and cyberterrorism, the International Ethics Committee (IEC) shuts down all air travel and public use of the Internet. Air transportation is replaced by a system of intercontinental expressways.[7] However, a new terrorist group called "Heaven Smile" appears, targeting the United Nations (UN) and IEC. The members of Heaven Smile are humans who have been infected with a virus that evokes a desire to kill. Factory-produced Smiles are given a "bomb-organ" that allows them to explode at will, their principal means of attack.[8]

In this Earth, Japanese politics are dominated by two parties: the UN Party and the Liberal Party. The UN Party is more powerful and moves to end the Asian Security Treaty and sever ties with the United States (US).[7] The UN Party seized control of the Japanese government through the wisdom of the "Yakumo Cabinet Policy", a secret document which details how to run the "ideal nation". It was written by the Union 7, young members of the Liberal Party who went on to found the UN Party.[7] The US government is also eager to sever relations with Japan, seeing the country as a hindrance and of little economic value. The interaction between Japan and the US is a central source of conflict in Killer7.

I think this type of plot is doable, albit in need of a serious reworking, given the time period and key players.

banjo is the only correct answer.

Singing, because they can still use their hands for other things. Like combat. And handjobs.

I always wanted to make a bard that juggled for his bardic performance. Like. He juggles so god damn hard that it inspires people to fight harder.

Due the nature of a time travel show it comes down to 'Which Daleks?'

Genesis of the Daleks? Tough but not that tough and lacking a lot of nasty things from later.

Time War Daleks? They'd shit over most other groups.

>>54152359
Assuming Dalek armour and Weaponry are around Necron Tier, enough Orks would probably come out on top. Enough shots would be lucky enough to get the eyestalks.

Granted IIRC we dont really know how the Daleks would deal with a horde, the largest on screen opposing force I can remember is the Cybus Cybermen, who are completely different in tactics from Orks.

>Time War Daleks? They'd shit over most other groups.
Chaos Gods would wreck them, as would anything with magic.
