I think that's just autistic rage, bout time someone took a nail gun and put them out of our misery!!

>>54068041
Or tell them there's a new codex just for them, if they'd just go into this large building for a 'sonic' 'shower' together!!

>>54067861
Sort of. At my store, people really don't like thinking outside of the box. Everyone picks an established faction in the lore and paints them as such. Anyone who comes up with their own thing, everyone rolls their eyes and gets annoyed with any decisions.

They get pretty upset with me for mixing and matching regiment tags in 8th edition for Guard. It's all my army, but I like different buffs for different units.

You'd think things like parents would be around forever right?

Where did your character learn to read?

All adventuring with different groups.

Barbarians of Lemuria

Its a shame I cant find any experienced players in my area who want to play anything other than D&D.

What is the appeal of rules-heavy systems anyway?

>>54067441

Living and construct are two opposites

Time period?

>Artifact in small village that isn't all that small when you get to the mines
>Artifact in ancient temple, horrors ensue
>Artifact was inside you all along, and they want to rip it out

>>54066104
>The most important artifact was friendship.

>>54066104
Modern times. Earth.

Here and now, basically.

This is better handled by a GM than a system.

>>54065952
True, but some do attempt to touch upon it in terms of the setting and such.

Degenesis.

It's a post-apocalypses setting in which Europe was destroyed by asteroids, while Africa got of relatively unscathed.
500 years later Africa is the imperialistic superpower that comes to Europe to steal it's riches and exploit it's people.
It's an interesting spin on history and based on the idea that all people are equally awful.

Savage Worlds
GURPS
That one RPG where characters cannot die unless they check a box that says "Okay, my character can die in this scene"

>>54065261

Depends on which "half." If I cared more about similar mechanical feel, 4e. If I cared about producing something with a similar narrative feel I'd rework Dogs in the Vineyard.

>>54065967
I think you can sorta do both in Strike!. DitV style confrontations for most stuff, 4e like combat for important battles.

I'm not familiar enough with Dogs in the Vineyard to say for sure, though.

A character who is a second generation demi-god but has absolutely no power like their parent. They're constantly trying to live up to the mantle in front of them but they never have to power to achieve the same things

Just a hireling who is supposed to retrieve materials for an artificer. He just murderhobos through monsters to get rare ingredients and to get stronger.

Essentially boils down to "I just wana get my only family back", but I like playing characters who aren't really in it for the power or glory, and who aren't "adventurers" out of choice.

How post-apocalyptic are we talking here?
>The Apocalypse was a few years ago and most survivors are barely crawling out of the rubble
>The Apocalypse was a decade or more ago; human survivors are banding together into tribes
>The Apocalypse was a century ago; the older generation remember their grandparents telling the story of the Fall,
>The Apocalypse was centuries ago. There are tales of how men use to live in the sky and that the ruins were once great cities. A few books and scholars know the truth

Apocalypse was a few years ago, 5-8 to be more specific, society is functioning on a small almost tribal level.

dunno how mystical you want your world to be, but here's a few ideas i'm stealing from books.

>rumors swirl about a village where the water is clean, and the land has become fertile again. Some say a local can make plants bloom. Meanwhile, bandits gather, planning to raid the crops and kidnap the villager. (You decide whether or not the villager is a charlatan).

>The oldest man in a village all has a twisted mask of scabs, scars from the apocalypse. A few locals from younger generations have disappeared while out fishing/gathering.
>Investigating reveals the man, withdrawn from society, has had his scabs crack and fall off. Beneath, his human face has taken on reptilian features. He flees, and the bodies can be found stored in a crawlspace dug out underneath his hovel.

>A woman with a serious drug addiction begs the party to help find her next fix. The only thing she can promise as a reward is a small package that contains thermite, which she acquired but has no use for.

>A scientist uploaded his consciousness to an AI before the apocalypse, with the intent that he'd be able to share useful knowledge to whoever came after. Unfortunately, his AI has all the emotions he had, and just wants to die now that his family is gone and he's trapped in a box.

>There's a horde of slavering wild dogs roaming the countryside. Occasionally, they drag a live child from one of the villages. The remains are never found. Investigation reveals that one of the dogs is a she-wolf with human-like intelligence, and is kidnapping children to raise them as its own so it has some companionship.

Kinda spinballing, but maybe it'll get you started? Might be too far side.

I maintain that any one Zerg is more dangerous than its Tyrannid equivalent, largely due to their self-mutating and self-healing capabilities. But there are just so many more Tyrannids that the Zerg...both are species that rely on overwhelming numbers, and the Tyrannid's unit count is just larger. Not to mention that they have much BIGGER units at their disposal than the Zerg.

Having said that, the video your screencap is from is probably the best possible depiction for what a Tyrannid invasion looks like. And the music is perfect.

>You appear in a giant vault, filled with heaps of holy symbols, fetishes, charms, talismans and so forth. Holding a symbol and performing the proper prayer rite of that god/cult/entity/whatever transports you to another plane. There are also some that are not from the mundane world, and using them may attract attention from other entities. The owner of the vault is taking a pee break and will be back in 15 years if anyone wants to wait.
>You appear in a very normal place, with alien but reasonable plants, people and landscape features. However, you see this as though looking through a kaleidoscope and it's hard to make anything out. Saying "duude" transports you to another plane (placeholder, idk what to do with it).
>You appear in a long, uneven corridor. Looking up, the walls form tall statues of people of all different kinds of races of the world. Walking along it, the statues grow increasingly inhuman and strange, some seemingly missing from their plinths, others flickering in and out of view, changing shape and colors, or completely alive walking along with you. Standing by the side of the corridor and closing your eyes transports you to another plane.

>You appear on the wall of a large room with wooden flooring on all surfaces, as if it was the floor. It might be the floor, but it just doesn't feel like it. Laying down with your feet on the wall as if you're standing on what you feel is the floor transports you to another plane.
>You appear inside translucent jars embedded in the ground of a fairly earth-like place. The ground is green with grass in the immediate vicinity, but otherwise there's largely sand all around. You notice you can see extreme details, looking at a person you can see their pores, the fine texture of their skin, miniscule scars or imperfections, as well as microorganisms if you focus. Going to the sand you can see tiny aliens (black exoskeletons, feelers, stubby arms and round segmented bodies) milling about through microscopic tunnels, thousands of them in just a small area and probably billions if they inhabit the entire desert. They seem scared, but if paid attention to will beckon you closer. If touched, the creature and yourself are transported to another plane, the creatures all eager to get there but scared because you can kill millions of them with a single step.

>You appear back on the material plane in a village you haven't been to before. An old friend in the crowd approaches you and asks you to their house for dinner, where his family is waiting eagerly and the dinner is almost finished. All they can talk about is dinner and how much they're looking forward to it, and when it's finally served you see it's human meat. The housecat, the birds flying outside, and any other animals are also very human in their appearance (though they still behave and sound like animals). There's a portal in the town square to get to the real material plane, but why would you want to leave your old buddy so soon?
>You appear in a gloomy place, the sky gray and featureless and the ground covered in mounds and piles of skeletons, skulls and some rotted clothing and other equipment (none of it human). In the sky above is a large black moon, descending down and making you feel light as the gravity shifts gradually. Given time it will attract everything off the ground, and ascend into the sky again before expelling it all to rain down upon the blackened earth again. Above the moon is a darkened hole that can be jumped through from the top of it, transporting you to another plane.
>You appear on a stone pedestal far off the ground, about 30 feet in diameter, with more of them as far as you can see in the fog that seems to permeate all of this world. Each one seems to have a bonfire and one or more figures sat beside it. Some are silent and still, others chant strange words, move around erratically or add to the fire from their own bodies. Some fires are also burnt out, but even they emit a faint glow. This glow is what lights up most of the place, there is a faint glow echoing through the fog that might come from the sky, but that too may just be from more bonfires. The figures will transport you to another plane if you sacrifice something to the flame.
