On charges of cowardice, you are sentenced to death!

>>51835148
I dont have any stories of being a shitty GM killing players cause im jealous & insecure. I did kill one players character because the player made the choice to sacrifice himself to hold off some ogres, letting others escape, before the castle they were in exploded. He knew doing so was suicide, I told him upfront, but he wanted to test out a new character concept & he felt fulfilled with the story of his dead character.

Rolling a nat 1 in Only War is a good thing you fucking faggot

Three rounds, it took an adult black dragon three rounds to kill them all. They used no form of energy resistance, the rogue charged him after barbarian got ripped to piece and the two mages and ranger stood and fought.

I kept asking if they were sure about going there, made several statements about how long they had been active and how wounds itched from the lizardfolk fight. They just kept walking, minds glued to dragon treasure.

In this thread: things that never happened and adavanced baiting.

In this ^ post, shit that has been said since 2010 to make oneself seem cooler.

Shut up newfaggot, this is a bait thread plain as day to anyone not a retard.

>>51835148
Here's how I know you're lying.

In Only War Nat 1 is the best you can get on your roll. Legitimately that Commissar should have praised him and set him up for a promotion, likely never scrutinizing him again.

Learn the system before you try to BS us.

This seems to be a common theme for one-off Dark Heresy games.

should not have allowed them to pilot the land speeder but i did anyways because why the hell not.

I'm pretty sure this post falls under "Shit that never happened"

>>51836356
Or just "Shit"

It's like they thought fighting a unknown creature with giant tentacles in the ocean alone was a good idea

>>51837086
I hate to break the news but your players might be clinically retarded

>>51836269
I can just imagine a land speeder storm but instead of being driven by scouts having a bunch of asshole IG trying to pilot it

god thats hillarious

>>51835148

A commissar evaluating the players could have introduced an interesting plot twist.
Perhaps the commissar was not impressed with their courage and reassigns the squad to a penal legion -> There you go, enjoy a Last Chancers style story arc.
You had an opportunity to advance the story and develop the characters. Perhaps this commissar could have turned into a minor antagonist for the players?

All of those possibilities are closed off now because you shot a PC in the face.
*Slowclap*

It's a fun campaign, but my god that entire encounter was a trainwreck from start to finish.

In our defense the sorcerer had repeatedly shown himself to be a complete idiot, and not a very personable one at that (ICly, that is). I don't think my character ever saw him being useful. Ever.

Player took it well in stride, though. Was even laughing when the beatdown happened.
