What if Sanguinius had been made Warmaster, /tg/? How would the other Primarchs have responded to this choice? Would he have been a competent leader? Would Chaos have managed to corrupt him like they did Horus? If so, how successful would a Sanguinian Heresy have been compared to the Horus Heresy?
>>44983842
He would have become the living avatar of Khorne Made Flesh and had at least some limited ability to see the future.
He was also MAX CHARISMA. He could have taken at least as many, if not more, of the primarchs with him.
The Emperor would have been a fine paste on the floor of the Imperial Palace.
Galaxy is on fire.
What's left of humanity is thrall to mad gods.
>>44983864
>the living avatar of Khorne Made Flesh
> MAX CHARISMA
pick one
>>44983864
Alternatively, Chaos would never have gotten a foothold in the Warmaster because his daddy issues weren't as severe as Horus' and he'd have dealt with them in a more constructive manner. In turn Horus would respect him too much to turn traitor in the first place.

>How do you deal with designer's block? Focus on something else? Secondary projects?
I have this problem less than I just get demotivated from a project the longer I don't work on it. And it's not like you can force that shit. I will stare at my work and just legitimately not want to do it.
>>44983651
>How do you deal with designer's block?
I leave the project be for a few days. I might play some vidya (presently the newest Tales or Darkest Dungeon) or read a book or watch some animu or movies or read mango. Basically get away from the design frame of mind.
>>44983651
>designer's block
I rarely ever STOP designing unless work gets in the way, I just end up designing something. This can be severely detrimental to actually finishing a project mind you, as I can sometimes take me a while to get back to the first project, and by then I have to tear out a lot of dead weight to get back to the good bits

>>44983409
You exist between moments, now.
-the cising sparks of EXEC_CONSUME-
-the crazed flicker of the Nihl Sphere as it drinks in CALCITE ARROW's death, in a swirl of violet motes-
-the abstract patterns of gore gushing from the stumps of Rook's severed arms, his head flexing and twisting in shrieking pain as he thrashes on the deck-
The Hektonhire, roaring and hissing and spitting its ember rage as it comes for you. The thing that was once Rust Kaiser is a behemoth, a monstrosity - Lit by the ghastly strobelight inferno that consumes the Thief (Something dark, shapeless, thrashing in the heart of consuming flame) - vast limbs ripping up the ground underfoot as it surges towards you with ponderous unstoppability.
Impaled by a dozen spikes of burning orange light - like swords, like stakes - it moves with singular purpose. Huge, cloven hooves of bleached bone - shod with pitted iron that seems moulded to feet - smash down, leaving skittering craters in their wake. Great claws with too many joints, like the lashing branches of winter trees, close and open, open and close, ending in black talons. Those backward-jointed legs are brutally muscled, tatters of armor flaking away, great curving horns lowered for the charge-
When Rust Kaiser's roar hits you, Haze falls to his hands and knees - His eyeslits flickering green, green, yellow at the world-splitting sound.
"Nnnngh-"
It is like the laughter of an earthquake; made worse for how it *is* laughter, rumbling laughter without sanity or end, an all-consuming fury centered solely upon you.
(Continued)
>>44983426
With every heartbeat, he *grows*. It is as if Rust Kaiser's blistered, cancerous soul has burst the confines of what is possible, surging forward in a storm of grinding footsteps and lashing claws, veins stretched and splayed over pulsing slabs of corded grey muscle, wrapped in strands around arms become thick and branching, in thin wiry tendrils, in vast splaying roots of flesh, in circular pods with a hundreds fingers waving in some unknowable pattern-
Pupils like black holes. Scales, and crags, and cliffs of skin. Decaying organs pulsing beneath translucent pieces of exoskeleton or chitin, pulsing and throbbing - On and on. Forever.
Reality itself is losing its grip. The world is changing right in front of you, permitting this monstrosity, this un-truth.
Daegal - The Condemner's blade fizzing as burning petals flutter around him in a whirling storm - puts what you cannot into words.
"Oh fuck," he says.
As your talons rip free of Calcite's helm - His form already collapsed, turning grey as the animation leaves it, only a dim flicker of awareness on the Orthrus Crest - you face down your foe. Rust Kaiser is vast, looming above you, towering. Still growing, *expanding*, a torrent vile of flesh pushing outwards, armoring itself in a thickening skein. Ropey veins are threading their way through it, blisters of fat and muscles pushing up through the surface-

>the bard isn't a charismatic ladies-man, instead...
she's a snobby, grey girl with an expensive musical education.
She is determined to build a career and is only adventuring so she can claim that she has 'world experience', but is actually disgusted by her parties behaviour. She gets really angry when anyone makes a sexual remark about her.
Doing the opposite of a shitty trope is still a shitty trope.
>>44983175
How?
A trope is something that everybody has seen/played so many times that it has become boring. Bringing the opposite of that trope to the table, will not get you the same response of 'this shit again'.
Some bard archetypes:
>MUSIC
Jack-of-all-trades with a Sitar
Overpowered manwhore
Glamorous rockstar (best if everyone in the party knows an instrument, too)
Amateur looking for inspiration/songwriting materiel
>NOT MUSIC
Exiled town crier
Gonzo journalist
Intrepid entrepreneur
Audacious playwright (makes the party put on shows)
Remember, the bard doesn't have to be the magical realm gatekeeper.

Check out this sweet Vedalken art im making. I am creating it from another image that is not of a Vedalken. Super cool and sexy and cute to boot. I want to rub my hands all over her slender body. Haha. Nice thread.
An RPG about existence in a Soviet GULAG. The point is to survive as long as possible while clinging to one's humanity. If escape is even an issue, it should be so laughably unlikely that it would never be attempted in 99% of games and would most certainly not be the main subject of the game.

>>Mechanicum Arlatax Class Battle-Automata?
I kinda hope they make models for the ones they already made rules for first. Even if the Domitar isn't particularly good it would be nice to see what they look like; the Thanatar-Cynis is actually very good and deserves its own model as the armament is very different than the other two variants that have models.
As for anything else I'm curious to see what the event-exclusive stuff is going to be. Characters? New types of Centurions again? A Knight-Errant (unlikely, but you never know)? Maybe a named Blackshield (wait, that doesn't work)?
>>44979783
New Centurions would be cool, but what is left?
Centurions who open unittypes (bikes) would clash with rites, granting abilities to attached units (skilled rider, fleet) would make the traits of certain legion seem non-unique.
An idea is a centurion who must start attached to a non-legion specific unit but he and his unit has the legion trait of a battlebrother legion. (Might end up useless)
While I do liked the characters, as I can't appear this year I just hope it'll won't be IH, WS or blackshield.
Pathfinder General /pfg/
Have you treated your DM/Players well this weekend?
Unified /pfg/ link repository:
http://pastebin.com/53QiHfcU
Old Thread: >>44961959
Mhmm, I didn't harass my dm with questions while sitting in all this fucking snow. Shit sucks, I wanna go back to the desert and get real tex-mex.
So, /pfg/, I'm running a solo pathfinder game for a friend soon, and I'm providing a few NPCs to tag along with his character to help things along; I gave him a series of NPCs to pick from adn he ended up picking three to go with his archetyped Swashbuckler (the paizo archetype with the rapier focus, plus two homebrew ones; one trades Nimble for the bladebound magus's Black Blade, the other trades the bonus feats for half-initiation). The PCs he picked were a human skald, an elf stalker, and a catfolk warder.
The problem is I have not built a PoW using character ever before, so I'd like some general advice for how to build and progress them as teh game goes; the Stalker is using Butterfly Swords and is using Broken Blade, Steel Serpent, and Veiled Moon, and the Warder is using probably a long sword and a heavy shield and I was planning to focus on Iron Tortoise and Golden Lion. Just general build advice would be appreciated, as well as anything speciifc to look for or avoid.
>>44977356
You could probably just throw darts at random maneuvers and come out with usable PoW characters.
The past few days, I've been reading up about the Officio Assassinorum. There's just something about the organization that piqued my interest...
Expecting it to be a group of the Emperor's finest assassins, I got what I expected. The sniper, the shapeshifter, the anti-psyker...
Then I read about the Eversor and holy fuck. Forget assassin, he sounds more like a one-man fucking army! Forget being sneaky, he outright Leeroy Jenkins his way to the target and everyone around him. And actually fucking succeeding.
So here's a question that's been nagging at my mind. How POWERFUL is a single Eversor Assassin, fluff-wise? I know that they're dispatched to utterly annihilate the enemy's entire command structure. But how powerful is he compared to, say, a troupe of harlequins? A common Chapter Master with his retinue of elite Honour Guards? Lucius the Eternal? A freaking Swarmlord?
(All I know is that they're usually dispatched on some Hive Worlds to send a message and at one instance, one was assigned to assassinate Horus during the heresy)
>>44977159
>How POWERFUL is a single Eversor Assassin, fluff-wise?
As powerful as the writer makes it. It will vary because of inconsistencies with different writers and plot demands but the consensus is that it will fuck a nigga up.
An example is in Taros campaign where one killed a few fire warriors before dying and kill the ethereal in its explosion, yet in Mont'ka a single eversor killed a dozen or so crisis suits before dying
>>44977159
A group of about 100 took out most of the nearly 1000 marines sent in to kill their order's leader after he had the High Lords killed, if I remember correctly.
Usually they only send those jokers if they want to impress upon someone that they REALLY dun goofed.
>>44977159
Eversors are the best at taking out armies, but the Cuxulus is the deadliest. It'll walk right into your room without anyone noticing before shooting you with a lethal ray of pure terror

You are Captain Kusajishi Riku, and your moment of relaxation has been rudely interrupted by a courier from the Onmitsukidō.
“Captain Kusajishi,” the Onmitsu runner bows. “We have a message from the Executive, urgent.”
“What is it?” you ask tersely. “Out with it.”
“Yes ma'am... she wanted you to know that Kurotsuchi Nemu has been captured.”
You take a moment or two to process the information: in the wake of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's departure with Aizen no small amount of effort has been dedicated to determining how much of a threat his defection presents. The absence of his Lieutenant Nemu has been the key aspect of that investigation, as she was presumably deep in her Captain's counsel and may have information that would explain his role in Aizen's treachery. But it bothers you that Mayuri would leave his daughter behind... since to your knowledge no other Captain has children, adopted or otherwise, you're not sure that they would consider how unusual abandoning one's child so easily really is.
The courier remains where he is, his intent to lead you to the location Yoruichi has indicated clear.
“I should probably go now,” you sigh, rising to your feet. “Nobody else has to though.”
Shunsui stands with surprising alacrity given the amount he's had to drink, and straightens his garish pink haori. “I hate it, but I should go too. The Old Man's probably expecting it.”
“I will go instead,” Gin bows respectfully, placing a hand in front of his fellow Captain. “The Head Captain would no doubt prefer it if a Captain remained with our masked guests.”
“And the others'd trust me more,” Shunsui realizes, shaking his head. “I get you, Ichimaru. Go see what Lieutenant Kurotsuchi has to say, I'll keep an eye on your friends here.”

>>44977125
Now that you consider it a little more carefully, there may be an unusual opportunity here to begin getting your peers more used to the idea of working with arrancar. Yoruichi no doubt called other Captains as well, most importantly Yamamoto, so ensuring that they see an arrancar in the process of cooperating with the Soul Society could go a long way towards getting them used to the idea.
Or it could spark division, you really can't say.
“Are you an optimist or a pessimist?” Rosa asks deviously. “Me? I wouldn't chance it.”
>Let's take Starrk along.
>How about Halibel?
>Appaci's the talker, we'll ask her.
>Rosa may have a point, no arrancar tonight.
>>44977177
>>Let's take Starrk along.
>Woman with illusionary armor
For what purpose?
>>44976838
So she can let her boobs hang free without shame.
>>44976838
You mean the armor isn't real or it has illusion magic?
Because Glamer would allow a woman in full plate to look like she's in a skimpy outfit.
>>44976838
So that she can look more wealthy/well armored, meaning that if she's walking alone somewhere, she's less likely to get robbed or raped or something.
Unless you can tell that the armor is outright illusory. In which case, there's not any fucking point in it.
Let's ignore GURPS for just a second.
If you could snap your fingers right now, and create a game centered around a fictional universe, or even a concept, with rules that were tailored made to fit and function perfectly according to that center, what would it be. I know at least five of you are sweating and rocking back and forth in your seat trying not to type GURPS and hit post, but just humor me.Pic related, I don't care if it's casual I want it.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Already exists, I think.And I already figured it out for GURPS.

They year is 1916.
After the failed first assault by Commonwealth forces, the Battle of the Somme has begun.
You are Corporal Thomas Hunt of the First Newfoundland Regiment. With the sheer amount of dead amongst your regiment from the first assault, you ought to have been promoted. Current circumstances however, have halted such an outcome. Never the less, Canadian Corporals already had duties comparable to higher ranked officers in other militaries. What was 10 men more under your command?
"Is there a Corporal Thomas Hunt present!?!" a young man shouts to the soldiers surrounding you.
You take a drink from your canteen and raise you hand.
"Right here, my good man!"
The messenger runs over to you. He is visibly out of breath.
"Here, sir, read this!" he hands you a piece of paper and runs off.
TO CORPORAL THOMAS HUNT:
THE HOUR OF ASSAULT HAS BEEN MOVED BACK TO 0700 HOURS PREPARE AS NECESSARY.
You crumple the paper and toss it into a nearby puddle. You take out your pocketwatch and check the time.
"Alright, men! The hour of the assault has changed! With accordance to the current time, you have 30 minutes to prepare!"
You are met with grumbling but the men begin to move about all the same.
How do you wish to proceed?
