The models were god-tier. The gameplay was okay, but then I only ever got to play a couple of times on account of player scarcity.

Another question.

Will the continuing success of Star Wars Armada help or hinder the coming relaunch?

>SCRIPT
Unknown Armies is a game about people meddling with powers they likely neither understand nor deserve, seen through a lens of humanocentric cosmic urban horror. The game will take your meat puppets to the depths of magick, the occult underground, your own sanity and the human condition as you pursue your greatest desires.

That said, in my experience the game is best experienced going in blind, but veterans to the system are welcome all the same. The game is very intimate and heavy on roleplaying, so i expect ability to portray a fairly whole human person through your character. As a GM i am heavy on atmosphere and tone, almost as if i'm fantasizing about being a film director, and in this case the one i'm going for is urban mystery combined with slice-of-life elements. If you have a penchance for conspiracy theories, deeply flawed human beings and sociology, this game will fit you like a glove-hole.

The actual details pertaining to the location of your misfortunate events will be discussed in Session 0, where we'll create our characters, pin down locations, relationships and whatnot to form the general framework and setpieces for the game.

>How true is it?

Why don't I see more late antiquity around here?

>>55198908

>What great empires exist in your world?
On my setting, its based on space, so there were some great space empires, disapointgly, I am not good with names, but its no biggie they are some background stuff.
>What great empires USED to exist, or WILL exist once day?
The Empire of Humanity, formely the Galactic Empire, was the most recent great empire, thru some other nations led by man exist, they don't claim being the succesor of that Empire, there is a sentiment among men, that humanity will rise again.
>What is their foreign policy?
Most of the empires try assert their strength before deciding to annex, make it into tributary state,protectorate it or bring under its trading system
>What is their legal system like?
Depends on each individual world, some are trials, some are decided by duels, but the dragons had a really retarded system for the sake of being obtuse.
>How successful are they?
Most of the really big ones claim a chunk of the multiverse.

>What vice is considered stereotypical of the people of your empire?
Depends on the world aswell, for some is Matrix hopping, gladitorial fights, "illegal" races,slavery and drugs.
>How true is it?
People sell their bodies to have their concience sent into a digital dimention, in a one way trip to an unknown realm where they can say goodbye to all sorts of problems.

Also, the Empire decriminalised drag and urban racing, with 3 points.
>If you endanger others by racing traffic, its bad
>If you crash at some property, its your responsability
>If you race the in a place that didn't had anyone other than the fellow racers (observers do not count), the race is not illegal
>Not enforced but appreciated:film it so it can used as defence in court.

The empire has badder shit to engage, so thrill seekers are ignored as long as they don't cause an accident, or risk one.

Thread prompt: What are some rivalries that your primarch and his legion have developed over the long years of the Great Crusade?


For the Sentinels, they have always had a long-standing rivalry with the Frederick and the Emperor's Dragoons. Je'She and Frederick do not get along at all. Frederick does not agree with Je'She's views and Je'She disagrees with Frederick's ideas of Astartes superiority.
Even their legions clash, with the more methodical and defensive heavy warfare of the Sentinels being at odds with the fast and relentless attacks of the Dragoons.
It has been known that whenever Sentinels and Dragoons campaign together for fierce competition to arise as to who can claim the most honour

They look sick. Have you thought about putting Hellenistic markings on the armour? Something similar to the heraldry on Lambach's armour

>You have been compelled to guard a castle and expel or kill any intruder until your master returns or the gem containing the magic compelling you is destroyed.
You don't have a choice but to protect the castle by your own ruleset.

HOWEVER.

The compulsion does not forbid you from speakign with the adventurers and explaining the situation, which can include the fact that if the gem is destroyed you are no longer compelled to protect the castle. That you have to protect the gem is permissible, as well, and there is nothing forbidding you from using nonlethal means to subdue and expel intruders or protectign the gem.

So, you're fine. I will also point out that being compelled does not make you fall, though you will need to atone.

Fuck off mastermind.

Destroy the castle.

>>55284374
>Destroy the castle.
You must protect it.

>>55284371
>So, you're fine.
I suppose I should have added that the adventurers are determined not to give up, forcing the conflict.
Although you are absolutely correct in everything you said.

I'm actually looking for a solution.

Gee fuckin whiz i dunno probably legion of the damned

Put some fucking effort in

Penal legion without knife fighters, probably focus more on their ballistics.

Insofar as you can make a regiment out of it, the whole point of them is dealing with mutants and kayoss shit in the underhive. Throwing them out into the wider galaxy robs them of their purpose

A combination of Sisters and IG

Basic redemptionists are conscripts, you've got penitents and priests, the Deacon would have either a bolter or more flame stuff (probably best as a Comissar with different equipment, and if Klovis is any indication, keeping the "shoot your own men" thing

>>55284318
Well armies of chaos (esp. Nurgle) and genestealer cultists are a thing, so as redemptionists love to say, fight fire with fire

Be more mystical. Focus not just on your powers but on the esoteric wisdom that granted them to you. Describe yourself as saying magic words [or outright make up invocations if they don't sound too cheesy], take rituals if the system has them so you can do the whole magic circles thing.

Infuse a lot of RP into your tools, such as magic hats, robes, wands, staffs, spellbooks, etc.

Figure out how magic works in your setting so you can play around with that a little. The details of the magic user and their magic is the big neglected thing, there's no mysticism or art to their Art, its just "Eh I have superpowers". Avoid this.

>>55283582
With someone like that, you really, really can't. He doesn't want to roleplay, he just wan't power. Nothing you can do would make him change his mind.

it's exceedingly simple to roleplay interestign things - gestures, speakign in alien tongue to cast spells, writing in books, freakign out over finding a library, collecting meaningless but cool spell components, etc. Simple, critical, wizard worthy things that have nothing at all to do with mechanics, and everything to do with roleplay.

If you try, he'll try and make everything mechanically relevant (c.f. 2hu in the PFG/4e threads) to gain MORE POWAH!

I think OP means there's a guy in his group who usually makes magic users and sucks at it, and he is now in a position to play one and wants to not suck at it.

>>55283348
What needs to be fixed? Quests got thrown out into their own board, creative grognards left in droves, and now all we have around here is general threads and sometimes content. Deal with it or create new content.

>le questcaust drove creative people out -meme
Cute.

Getting rid of quest was a mistake.
Getting rid of smut was a mistake.
They were annoying, but sometimes you had a spark amongst the garbage.
Now they're gone and nothing good took their place. Net loss.

Internet.

>>55281602
>>55282643 is a nice choice, if only pretty unusual, and you probably won't randomly stumble on group playing that.
Out of games that you are likely to encounter, If you want to move tokens on a grid, overcome obstacles, and roll for attack and damage - d&d5e.
If you want to to focus on roleplay, probably FATE or pbta games.

>Also is there any viable way to do it for someone who has no friends and is not near any areas that host games
Roll20, gamefinder threads for chosen system / facebook groups / reddit

>>55281602

Don't listen to these fags. The best system for news is D&D 3.5.

Just be sure and include all the splatbooks or you won't have a full picture of what you're doing.

How do you muck something like that up with a bunch of horseshit that an account would find dull on a slow work day!

trouble is this kind of magic only really works at a specific distance from knowledge; it has to have an internally consistent system in order to not just be random bullshit and feel unsatisfying in that way, but it also can't be completely understood or it's underwhelming in the other way. this specific distance necessarily removes it from the realm of tabletop, where magic must be codified in the rules first; it must be understood.
