What is the in-universe reason for having entire planets 100% covered in densely-populated cities which are entirely reliant on cargo ships from agrarian planets many light-years away to feed themselves, rather than each planet being mostly self-sufficient so they don't break down into anarchy and cannibalism in the event of a cargo ship being a day late?
Anyone who replies "that's how it works IRL" does not understand how far a light-year is or how much energy is needed to lift cargo into space. With the level of technology implied by such casual space travel, it would still be more efficient and reliable to produce the majority of food from trash using molecular replicators.

>recycled food from trash.
I think they do have that shit in 40k.
Also keep in mind that the population of that one hive world or whatever gets conscripted often in order to supply troops to hundreds of other planets easily.
So they very well might want rampant overpopulation and shitty living conditions to persuade the populace to join the military more easily and replace losses.
Hyperspecialization. One planet exports food, one planet exports people. It also works to keep both planets in line, as if one defects, both die.

Space Magic
>>53730653
Yes, In 40k they have "protein recycles"
They use dead bodies and break them down into protein and turn it into food, kind of like Star Trek has the custom food creator on the ships that uses protein packs and just makes it look and taste like the food you wanted.
Guys, what would be a good game for a visual novel where you date an Orc? I need ideas.
Oh, some further background. It takes place in a modern setting, where a fantasy world actually managed to progress to current year.
Why would you want to trade an orc? Ugly, vicious little shits.

So Shadowrun.
Is the Imperium a parody of the US?
Think about it, a massive overblaoted military powerhouse that is the most powerfull entity in their respe ctive worlds running on the fumes of the great crusade(post WW2 economic boom) and with a heavilly mythologised and seemingly invincible branch of their armed forces (marines/space marines)

What if I don't care about either side and just want to have a shallow but fun adventure about getting rich and occasionally having to defend myself?
I mean, you'd think most of us would, and yet it always gets all fucking complicated like this.
>>53710219
Then you will fit in with 99% of D&D groups
>>53710219
There's nothing wrong with that, you just need to find a group that also has that sort of mindset. Everybody likes different things.

It always fucking baffles me how easily people fall into the pitfall of "moral dilemma" mindset.
You are being metaphorically offerred either the red pill, or the blue pill. REFUSE BOTH OF THEM.
WHEN YOU ARE BEING OFFERED A BINARY DILEMMA, CHANCES ARE BOTH OF THE CHOICES ARE WRONG.
THE CHOICE OF "X or Y" IS FALSE.
MAKE YOUR OWN PATH.

>What good is a message of mercy when the responsible parties don't even feel they did anything wrong? And what message does this send to those that didn't resort to lies and violence - that humanity and mercy are valuable and worthwhile traits when convenient? That it is acceptable to commit atrocities if we flagellate ourselves for them afterward? Is that what we want to teach our children?
>Mercy is our greatest gift - but when does mercy to the guilty become indifference towards their victims?
A King offered this question to our party's paladin and she's drawn a complete blank on how to proceed. How would you respond, /tg/? How would your Paladin respond to this challenge? Hell, how would your party?
>>53755547
This is why you don't fucking show mercy to evil, you just smite. Your paladin is a fucking retarded faggot.
>>53755547
>How would you respond, /tg/?
Vengeance for the victims and mercy for the villain must be tempered by each other. There comes a place for mercy but that place can only be known in the moment. This is the place of wisdom to determine. Some crimes call for mercy and atonement, others for death and judgment, only the gods know the truth of which is which, all we can do, my King, is use our wisdom and guess at the best end.
>How would your Paladin respond to this challenge?
See above. He would still show mercy sometimes but he'd be wrathful other times. All depends on the situation's specifics and the nature of what is happening. It's too vague to say what is right and what is wrong in a general sense.
>Hell, how would your party?
They'd devolve into four hours of squabbling about it and make a decision that they think the DM wants to hear but he doesn't actually care because it's a game and he just wants them to have fun but they'll overthink it and paint themselves into a corner then bitch about it for a month.

This.
If the villain is honestly unabashedly standing by what they did then feel free to grind them into dust. If they want to make good somehow? Then they should be allowed to regardless of what the victim thinks.
And you should try to capture a villain alive to give them a chance to decide between the two options.

I'm sorry if i'm being stupid but i just can't find an explanation to this. What does the Strength value of +2 mean for the tazer goad on the infiltrator? That they would on a 2+? I'm fresh into warhammer and i have no clue what the hell +2 is supposed to mean.
this thing blocks your path, and completely destroys your setting
what do you do?
>>53749782
Remove it from the game and go back to a point before it destroyed the setting.
Roll to seduce
>>53749817
That's not very fair

You didn't put a subject. Try again.
What's a more sophisticated language to read and speak: Dwarvish or Giant?
Dwarvish seems to average okay
Giant has both Super Stupid Oafs and Ancient Genius Wizard Kings and Shit, doesn't it?
Does anyone have any similar puzzles? Looking for odd but stylish and solvable puzzles, like from MYST and shit
But that one's really easy. It's obviously the round o-
Oh.
Oh... wait a second...
>>53749021
i'd go with 1
>>53749065
Yeah. All the others are 1 change away from the base template that 1 is. It's the odd one out by virtue of being the one without a change from the baseline.
7th was the best edition after all edition.
