We f o u g h t on. Not knowing what was here in this world. In fact only knowing how to fight. The certainty of a world beyond death was frankly more than lost to us now. This was the life after, and truth be told, the end.
> Darkness Phase.
Action phase was processed and now takes effect this turn. Action phase will post again and turn will end in some hours.

Claimed for the Greater Good
Some more story for my dudes:
Vash's Warband are a handful of renegade space marines, non chaos worshipping, and a few dozen regular people who are basically space pirates. Their home base on on a planet in the Segmentum Pacificus, and also home to about 45,000 Imperial citizens whom they don't bother.
The world, Shierra II is a mixed biome ferrous planet with water covering about 55% of the planet's surface. It is mostly used by the Imperium as a dumping ground for scrap metal and other stable non-toxic waste.
Also visiting is Psyker Inquisitor Summer Oriel of the Ordo Hereticus who has made it her mission to track the rogue marines and bring them to justice, though she hasn't yet made her presence clear to them. She is waiting on some backup to arrive. She is pretty cool, but not cool enough to take on thirty four space marines and 70 regular dudes on her own. Some inquisitorial forces are supposed to show up eventually, but failing that she has some allies in a nearby space marine chapter.
Living in the massive scrapyard is a small Tau sect, drawing the attention of an Ordo Xenos inquisitor to the planet. The Tau currently have no good means of getting off the planet, and the Xenos inquisitor is puzzled trying to figure out how they got there in the first place, since it is a very long way from Tau space and the Tau do not possess warp travel.
The Tau salvage and recycle stuff, and as a result their equipment looks rather shoddy. Make no mistake though - despite its appearance it was built with all the care of the Earth Caste engineers under the guidance of their Ethereal Caste. There are about 1200 total Tau, of which about three quarters are of military age. This puts the total number of fighting fire caste Tau at around 230, which is not even close to being able to threaten the planetary defense force. As such they try to keep a low profile, but sometimes they encounter the scrap gangers and other degenerates.
What tanks can Renegades and Heretics use in the imperial armour 14 book?
>Pokemon campaign.
>The bbeg team is comprised entirely of wild Pokemon, but somehow just as organized and coordinated as any other team.
How do you make a good bbeg from this idea?
>>47652878
Pic related is a good way
Seems fine, but kind of hard to imagine it seeming like a legitimate threat
>>47652904
Well yeah but Plasma had humans. A team that's literally just a bunch of wild animals would be better at spying in theory, thus you can do other things with them.
>My setting doesn't need gunpowder! Ships and fortifications can just mount ballistae instead of cannons, right?
>It doesn't need guns either! I just include hand crossbows, automatic crossbows, sniper crossbows... hmm... shotcrossbows?
>A-anyway, it doesn't need guns at all! See?
Can they shoot bolts through walls? No? Then they are inferior to guns.
Cool greentext bro. You sure pwned that imaginary person!
I dislike guns in DnD so obviously gunpowder had to go. Instead of canons on ships, they have mage casting fireballs and shit.
You know why fighter sucks?
Not because linear vs quadratic - D&D is Ivory Tower, so it is understandable that there is a class that has less options, but is easier to play. It's not even magic vs mundane, because this dilemma hurts the system as whole, not just classes.
Fighter sucks because he has no substance, period.
Look at the goddamn name of this class - fighter, a person who fights. Any creature that lives through aggression is a fighter - barbarian is a fighter, even blaster caster is a fighter, they fight for a living after all. I could...

>needing all this fancy mumbo jumbo shit
Fighter is the pure essence of violence distilled to perfection and given form. Fighter is fight.
Everyone else like wizards and bards just make play at fighting.
>>47641962
>he thinks chopping up a few fleshbags at a time with a sharp piece of metal is violence perfected
haha don't mind me, ill just be exploding entire armies at once

>needing magical mystical bullshit to kill enemies
>not cutting down entire armies by yourself
Casters are just tools of the mystical. Fighters are the ones who wield their weapons.

Dumb frogposter.

My DM ran into a similar problem. They invented a spacefaring Empire that was going to be pivotal to the campaign. They named it "Glossolalia," thinking it was just a random assortment of letters and sounds. Boy were they surprised when I explained the the word actually means random assortment of sounds which appear to be words but aren't. Had a good laugh over it.
>>47626918
If you're too stupid to Google a term you come up with before getting attached to it you deserve it.
I hope you accidentally name your first child after a serial killer.
Did you have a big-brother, older-sister, father-figure, wise-mentor, sort of person in your life that first introduced you to the wonders of tabletop?
>>47623337
My oldest sister got me into Basic D&D back in 1982.
>>47623337
No, but I do try and be that older figure for other people. Not just for tabletop but life in general.
Long story short, I used to be a weeaboo piece of shit that spent too much time on /a/ and accidentally clicked on /tg/
One of the best accidents of my life.
Welcome to the flake thread!
Previously:
The flake ball, and everyone is pretty. An interesting theory on why the Eldrazi are needed. A new flake or two. Color pie arguments. Again, I want my fucking flake ball party. Multiverse discussion. A new snowplane. Gideon was conquered by a puddle.

Belloski organizes the ball so the flakes will drink and party and miss the Belloski luxury hotel check out time of 6am.
This is your threadly reminder not to reply to trolls.
That includes this post.
TO ALL
THE REPO HAS BEEN UPDATED
MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS IN ITS PROPER PLACE
it hands you a plant
a small worthless thing that can do nothing on its own
why does this make your heart waver so?
does it remind you of the vengeance that you were robbed of?
or the shame that that which knows no boundaries met upon you that night?
your actions make no sense

"Oh no..." My mother places a hand on her forehead and heaves a heavy sigh. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't trying to upset you-"
"You didn't," I sniffle. "This is just... I wasn't expecting this, that's all."
I move the pot to one hand and wipe my eyes with the other.
"It's really cute, and umm..."
Dammit, of all the possible things to get emotional about... just looking at it is making me tear up again. And since I don't want to end up breaking down into a crying wreck outright,...

This has happened several times
Can anyone recommend some decent podcasts where this doesn't happen?

The guy was an idiot for asking what she was wearing as the first question out of the gate, he should've asked how she was feeling or what she was thinking before going for looks.
The utter submissive attitude he had when she got angry just confirms he's a weak-willed dork that tried to get his jollies and got called out on it.
>>47651918
This. He was a fuckwit trying to be funny and it blew up in his face.

>Does anyone have this legendary train-wreck podcast?
No idea what you're talking about and I've been playing this game since Superiority. Maybe you're thinking of an old Focus and Fury cast? Those guys were full of salt and rage and were pretty big dicks.
Only other old school pod cast I cam think of was Guts N Gears and those guys were always super awesome.
>>47639561
>Way back in MKI, Legend is told of a Podcast Interview that made PP rage so hard that it made them never agree to one again.
they just did a chain attack podcast the other day...
>>47639589
That too. They do stuff all the time. I assume OP is just full of shit and is mining for salt or something
I need advice on RPing the edgiest possible 2fast4u type rogue character. I've got most the character figured out, but I need to think up some throwaway lines to say like when killing stuff, taking damage, or whatever.
Kindly post anything inspirational you can think of, pic related

Dear god the edge. I hope somebody saved that kid before he cut himself on it and bled out.
As to the OP: Just be that.

Make throwaway puns at everything, and slap people on the back jovially when they make a good point.

"Nuthin personal, kid."

Alternatively, just read this.

Is this seriously the first time you've heard of Coldsteel?
D-day edition?

That would be 5e launch day
Anyone got the new DF Monsters book yet?
