Are there any magical axes in mythology or legend? Wikipedia gives me nothing.
>>46730807
The Slavic god Perun had an axe, I believe, the Axe of Perun is a pendant old Slav warriors were buried with.
>>46730807
One of the Aztec, or maybe Mayan, gods of thunder used an axe.
Axes were early dark ages of earlier peasant weapons so I doupt you'll find anything. Anytime afterward swords were so ubiquitous axes were just a tool and backup.
Basically, the axe was the weapon of the dude too poor to have more than a pot-pan worth of iron, and basically never steel because you can't just melt/recycle thay.
Do Orkz have a concept of civilians? I don't recall hearing much about Ork atrocities during waagh, but I've heard endless stories about Chaos ones. I know that I read one blurb where Orkz captured human scientists and forced them to work for them, which seems like some kind of distinction between soldiers and civilians. Do they just kill all humans they see once they deal with the soldiers?
Yeah I kind of wondered the same thing, like what would an ork do if it came across some cowering children?
>>46730766
>>46730902
àll non soldiers are turned to slaves and have to do harsh labour while being tormented
>>46730766
>>46730902
Kill em, enslave em, use em for target practice. Orkz live and breath violence and war. And ork attrition rates means that those captured dont live for long. Blood axes and Bad moonz might ransom em off or hold them captive, but expect most others to simply brutalize them for cheap laughs.

You were raised from the dead by a woman named Alesh, servant to The Iron King Ariz. After defying him, both you and her were sentenced to death, and theown into the jail. Now, you ecaped to her lab, snagged a few items and returned with a proper disguise. Now she asks for her clothes and wig she let you borrow, and for you to NEVER open the bag you found. What now?

Does anyone know anything about this game? Any opinions?
I saw it in a gamestore and wanted to get it mostly because you can play solo and minis look ballin '
Never played space hulk type games before.
So anyone with experience have opinions on it?
Picked it up a while ago but haven't played it. Read over the rules and it seems pretty good. The resin mini's inside are pretty ace (still working on mine). Was missing an arm for one of the marines, shot them an email, and they sent me a replacement with a bunch of extra bits which was nice.
>>46730610
I saw a fair few boxes on sale at Salute yesterday. Sadly I couldn't find any models of Linn Kurosawa or Dutch, I also have no idea how the game plays.
Still fucking waiting for Prodos to pull their finger out and send me my Kickstarter box.
Fucking incompetents to a man.
ITT: we make a setting for this map I drew out of boredom.
>>46730565
The southernmost port city is named Dickstown, on account of its founder being named Richard
>>46730565
I prose the races: Gnomes in the North, Skaven in the Eastern Islands, Humans in the South, and Cyclops in the West.
>>46730665

Which makes Dickstown a frequent target for Skaven raiders

Do you ever resent having to save the world?
It's just one of those goals that does nothing to help define the character, and puts itself at such a priority that all your other goals end up being secondary.
>>46730114
Yes. He makes snarky comments a lot and occasionally goes on an ear blistering rant when, for the 32nd time, the royalty didn't believe them and shit has predictably hit the fan.
>>46730114
>implying secondary concerns somehow suffer
False dilemma is false.
Heroing is not a "job" and people - especially Supers - never "resent" doing what they love doing.
>>46730114
Yeah.
Mostly I resent the other stuff though. Where the GM throws six plothooks at us, then punishes us halfway through the second for the four we haven't gotten to yet. It's pretty vexing.
Well?
It's from 1,756 days ago.

I personally feel that this lingering remnant of Nazimod is one of the reasons why /tg/ has become so saline-heavy.

I'm considering starting up a game of dark heresy for my group using the second ed rules. I'm fairly new to the system and 40k as a whole so does anyone have any advice when running this? I was recommended eisenhorn as reading to get into it to start.
Don't run it to intensely on the combat side of things. DH is best when it is mostly investigation broken up by a few combat encounters.
>>46729332
One way it was put to me was call of cthulhu in space so I'd probably run it similar to that.
>>46729048
> I was recommended eisenhorn as reading to get into it to start.
Don´t.
Abnett is garbage, he absolutely misrepresents EVERYTHING, he is just getting lauded overmuch for not being as shit as many other Black Library writers, but his stories and characters are criminally cliché, and his failure in adherence to the background is rarely topped.
If you want background read literally anything else, Shira Calpurnia -mostly the first book- is much more what you need. Jaq Draco...

Do you have any favourite 'rules light' systems /tg/?
Just a tired DM looking for a change of pace.
>>46729017
I dig Dungeon World
>but the rulebook's huge
Write down the moves, familiarize yourself with the flow of GMing and really you can run it off the damn playbooks.
>>46729017
I'm a fan of Dungeon World and whatever hacks you feel like throwing in or adding to it plus homebrew for the mechanics and feel of your own specific campaign.
>>46729017
Depends on your definition of rules light.
So, on the off chance that Games Workshop ends up advancing the plot of 40k, ala Fantasy, and revealing the End Times of that universe, what's the one thing you'd like to see resolved?
Personally, it's the Omega Vault for me.
>>46728952
Calling it now, its filled with necrons.
>>46728952
It contains the last fully functional A.I. from the DaoT.
Or most of one. Part of the reason for hunting down STC fragments was to try and fill in the gaps in its brain. It's about 70% finished.
Too controversial to reveal with the Mechanicus still holding to the First Commandment but if all is lost then there is nothing to loose.
>>46728952
>FFG canon
They're just as likely not to touch it, though with the inclusion of the Deathwatch game there's a chance. More likely it'll go unresolved, overshadowed by whatever the fuck they throw in to make the End Times epc and big and over-the-top.
The setting has too many fucking things set to resolve at the minutes-to-midnight mark in 40k to cover during the End Times; every faction has some specific legend, prophecy, goal... Fuck, every First Founding...

So I want to run a game based on classical epics with the gods intervening with the party, helping them and fucking them up. How do I do this without being too jarring, invoking gm powers and so on?
I want to have a whole subplot about a bunch of gods betting on the PCs. How do I showcase these segments without taking players out of the game and saying "so this is what's happening in godland atm"
I was thinking of keeping the god's presence ambiguous at first and then slowly integrating them into the campaign. If a PC is playing a pally/cleric...

Depends on how you want to do it. Is the party like demi-gods that wrestle with zeus or something?
Or is it closer to the odyssey?
In general though I would suggest not showing what the gods are up to and just having them intervene. Let the PCs figure out what is going om themselves.
Which system? I play Torchbearer and think this could work well with the "Twist" rule and the town/camp random events, especially since the gods are more anonymous and generic than, say, in your regular d&d setting.
Anyone know how medieval armies were organized in terms of unit names and size?
Like, for example, were they organized into companies of 100 troops who were in turn organized into regiments of 1,000?
Mongols not that far off
>>46728462
The term "medieval" covers everything from dirty peasants, vikings, chainmail and shieldwalls, knights in shining armour and cannon.
On top of stretching for hundreds of years, a lot of countries and regions did things differently.
There is no way to give you a proper answer unless you elaborate on your question a bit and make it more specific.
Right now it's like saying "what size is a dog?" They range from the size of a cat to larger than a person, we need to know...
