Do you think adventurers should love other adventurers, or should they find a non-adventurer to love?

Ironic if the Rogue ends up being the class to get the biggest relative buff out of Arcane Anthology.
Badass Huntsmen/Huntresses out saving the world from all kinds of varieties of Grimm. Potential for in-universe political tension. Skirmishes and large-scale battles. Oh and everything's a gun. Idk seems like it could be fun.
What system would you use? Or would it be better off being homebrewed? Semblance ruled with something resembling Sorcerer Points from DnD 5e?

It's basically your average Magical Girl anime in a cyberpunk setting with flashy tech and gunblades.
You could run it in most RPGs.

Is the dreadnought formation from Space wolves good?
>>45041874
Homebrew Ork Psyker time!
Current point of contention is (I believe) the 1/army upgrade. It's there to allow orks to get some consistency on their known powers, as well as more dice to throw.
It's already restricted to 1/army, on a level 3 Psyker that only knows Big WAAAAAGH! powers.
Options are
- Choose 1 power and generate more dice based on number of nearby units
- Level 4
- Reroll known powers
Any suggestions?
I'm just curious how they line up with the other beings and monsters of the settings.
I've been wanting to run a WoD game with my group for a while, and I'm thinking starting my team off being guided by Divine sources. That said, I know my group, and they will end up murderhobos, even in this setting. So they will likely get some visits by Angelic Enforcers.

So Angels aren't really... statted. But there are demons, which are fallen angels. They are absolutely more powerful than anything else, except maybe a completely bonkers Mage. Most people don't even realise they exist.
Have you ever seen Supernatural? The Angels work a bit like that, possessing people. Or at least the demons do. The angels mightbe/are the messengers that imbue hunters so they do appear if that's them.. but that's more of a mystical dreamlike spirit form? But presumably...

For flavor or fun, what are some of your favorite MTG cards you can't use outside of casual games?
I'm sure there are ways to abuse it, but I don't care, this card is a blast.

Because games ain't meant to be simulations of real life. Rather a means to have fun.

Is that the one where he started carting the bitch around? Jesus, your friend is a freak.
Touched by Slaanesh, possessed by daemons, tortured and raped by said daemons on multiple occasions, all before reaching the age of ten; raped by Astartes; ended up falling in love with the primarch of the same legion as her rapists. Also eats her friends and resurrects them with biomancy.
Murdered two men responsible for her rape in cold blood while they begged her for their lives. She did it in front of the man she loved, weeping the entire time because she had been struggling to change herself into something that wasn't a big pile of damaged goods for his sake.
You are Charlie Dennet. Magician, student and roommate to Superheroes. At least, you think their superheroes.
Currently, you are busy scrawling away on the inside of a pizza box, muttering to yourself about some gibberish or another. Truth be told, you aren't even sure if what you're writing is English. Magic is like that at times. But, the one thing you are certain of is that, if your theory works, you should be able to teleport. It'll take you about 15 meters, tops, but at least it'll look cool!
Finally, you finish the last of your scrawling...

And now the Queen of Neir herself is facing your company.
Lowering her Flame Lance, she flies over to your leader. "Shea," she says, "all of this resistance... What's your point to it?"
"It's the same reasons you fought against your own family, mother. This goal of using undead monstrosities and wonton violence to conquer the continent is... Shortsighted and cruel!"

Have to let the royal have their pre-battle cutscene.
What would a world be like where talented, unique, or high ranking individuals have an effect that renders them hugely resistant to harm. Called in setting as "heroes"
This doesn't mean they are invulnerable, though they are strong, fast, or smart they are otherwise still mortal people and in theory can be harmed much like any other person.
In battles you'll pockets of space open up in armies where heroes" start mauling troops that charge at them in small files, scores and scores of arrows missing them, or being sole survivor of sinking...

Fable
Why the hell are psychics assumed to be "science fiction"? Like it's crazy to me
Whenever you try and pitch "magic" to a scifi setting the justification is always something like "nanotechnology" and while that shit can be pretty handwavey there's at least a pretense to a justification there. But then you suggest psychics and people just take them in scifi wholesale with no further elaboration.
Like how!? How is a bunch of electromagnetic pulses going off inside a squishy soft tissue thing inside my skull going to reach out...

Because psychics are assumed to be mutants, or the result of scientific experimentation. Magic is generally seen as an 'all encompassing energy' shit in a lot of settings.
>>45036669
>And if you try and put psychics in a fantasy setting people sperg out and act like they don't belong
When you say "people", are you referring to people who you have actually seen do this in real life, or are you speaking about hyperbolic neckbears on 4chan?
>>45036669
i think its that when you say 'science fiction' it feels like theres some hard barrier there. Theres a limit and that makes it seem more understandable, you can grasp it more.
Magic has a soft barrier where its like 'idk i aint gotta explain shit cause its magic'. Theres no real limit and I feel like more writers would fall into bad patterns where they just say "oh and then he cast some spell and was done with his problems because magic". Not saying it doesnt happen in sci fi...

Goddamn Night's Reach.
I mean, I guess it could work. It's a stretch because in this fucking game you legit see ghosts and shit at every corner but demons planeswalking can be more similar to weird spooky invisible happenings?
