As the limousine speeds away you peer out the open door to see if anyone is giving pursuit. You'd think the van would be coming for you, but a plume of smoke is billowing out from underneath its hood.

Once the world was nothingness, and then with Domina the Star Mother, She Who Remembers, the first WORD was brought and it was light.
Then came the world with Lorshian, the first moon with Udros the Steadfast. From the rays of Domina’s firstborn, the sun, and Udos’s moon, Molinoth the Remaker, the World Serpent, was born.
The gods of shadow, darkness, death and decay; The Lurker, Nihil None, Ralet and DARK awoke.
Sleazus appeared and made wine, long before life itself, and began a party of godly proportions that would encompass the first and second ages of the...

Witness returned to us, and became Witness-that-was, as a god of Balance who set up the Great Wheel, where the souls of mortals travel through to be reborn.
Golgadath the Maw outside Matter fed upon the souls travelling the Wheel, and was set upon by Heroicus, Regolith, Witness-that-was and Veraiitus, who drove it out of cosmos once again, where it hungers and feeds upon the few souls that fall off the wheel.
Herocles the mighty ascended into godhood and fought Domina in a dream of grandeur caused by Veraiitus,...

Hear ye, hear ye. I hereby call to order this meeting of the most illustrious Mages' Guild! Now I know everyone was very exited about our plans have the entire guild fly to the moon for a nice vacation from all the kings, queens, nobles and whatever they are who keep bothering our research but I have some bad news. It turns out we are lacking some important spell components needed to ensure the tower survives the trip, and we're completely broke after the new years party. So unless people come up with a good way to make the missing money it seems like the tower is...

If you want to cut out a necessary 1/5th of my total wizardry course there will be a crawly, slimy and stingy hell to pay.
Really? You want to try convincing the ectomancers to accept being merged into necromancy? You want to try convincing Necromancers to accept ectomancers?
Yeah, sure, what could possibly go wrong?
How about we fire some of the morons we have teaching in my department? They're idiots and I could find replacements...somewhere.

You didn’t break after the first hour of film. So they gave you a quick drink of water, some hardtack to shove in your mouth, then set the mask down to watch another film. This time it was on the atrocities the United States was complacent towards in South America. The United Fruit Company’s misdeeds, the Banana Massacre, and more. Then it switched to the subjugation of the Native American tribes, the Trail of Tears, the “Battle” of Wounded Knee,...

“Well.” You shrug, staring blankly up at the gray ceiling. “I mean… nice to have a free history lesson. My mom always did tell me to learn things when I can, even if I didn’t want to. So, thanks for that.” Streucker’s smile fades back into annoyance. “If you’re looking to brainwash me to serve your cause, forget it. I’d rather be dead than be a Nazi.”
Baroness von Streucker tugs at the fingers of her gloves, closely examining you. “Hm, hm. Do you know why I hate germs?”...

“A fine speech,” she says. She rolls up her sleeve, checking her watch. “I must tend to my duties, I cannot spend the entire day torturing you-“ She yelps, looking at Zähne. “… di- Did you-“ You noticed that Zähne’s hand was getting dangerously close to her butt, but you didn’t say anything. “I am in the middle of something, do not embarrass me, Zähne!” Zähne grunts, patting her cheek. “Ugh!

I dislike how /tg/ how can basically be a fanfic site at times.
How do you run a decent military campaign where the PCs aren't special forces, paras, or someone else who has an excuse to bugger off from the rest of their unit every session?
>>44817151
They're shock troopers working at the very front of the lines, taking the fight to the enemy with the support of an entire army behind them.
Be the tip of the sphere.
>>44817151
You make them grunts.
They work their way up from being fodder who survive (or not) to being dudes who you would never want to fuck with, even if they were unarmed and 90 years old.
Or officers, but everyone hates COs.
Hopefully you can capture combat in a way that works, or else any military style campaign will just be meh.

You cradle the empty cup of ramen in your hands and gaze into it. Fenright has been going on for the past few minutes about the fundamental principles of golems, how they're a seamless blend of science and magic, right down to the most basic clay forms that inspired the stories from the Jewish faith.
“It's pretty fascinating, right? I mean, even the crudest understanding of biology and they managed to make simple muscles using lumps of clay.”
You nod your head slightly.

He pulls out a remote and presses a button on it, and the clear plastic cube slowly dismantles itself, receding into the floor. Athena sits up on the bed and looks over at you, waving weakly. After the suit adjusted itself to her older form it's flopping around again. She gives you a little smile, and you walk over to her while Fenright grabs a fresh lab coat.
“If you wouldn't mind carrying her, that would speed things up a little. We'll be using a transporter pod to get there faster.”
You walk over to Athena and stroke her hair, and she latches...

Right as you fully register his presence you come to in the alley above the Bizarre. Athena is standing by Fenright while Meliora opens up the passage down. Fenright smiles at you.

As the pilots arrived on safe zones the city clock rang the 12th time. Almost instantly any visible cards lunged at each other to join arm and arm as they sang. Some where giving off a haunting melody while the rest sing a song about waning time. The ones at the castle noticed that anyone outside where forced to sing as well. The sight jarring. But in time the song stopped, and the cards returned to their duties. The ones bothering salt returning for more paint throwing. Everything considered in this place, things where returning to normal as the pilots prepared for whatever...

There will also be a “take 10” system in effect for this mission. On non-stressful situations(if you can find them), you can automatically be 30 away from target, and roll a d20 to modify it closer to ‘target’. Taking 10 will make it easier to succeed in most cases(easy rolls will be pretty much impossible to fail even), but you cannot use it for dodging, attacking, while being attacked, or if the action would end up putting you through danger.
Basic actions (moving, communicating, observation) will all be success only, so basic actions will happen successfully...

Under the heavy weight of its chassis and its overcharged engine the wheels of the autocaravan screeched as it turned sharply to avoid the burning wreckage of a decrepit building that ended falling down from the damage suffered during the past days and the lack of care. In the driver’s seat an overly excited Skitarius steered without ever lifting her heavy metallic foot from the accelerator pedal; she was reckless and aggressive but knew how to make the metallic heart of the Van roar with passion and cross those hazard and corpse filled streets as if it were the easiest task....

Not ever giving a break to the Engine the driver entered into the Metro tunnels with a jump that surely damaged the suspension of the wheels. She was passionate but maybe too much, her weak mind was addicted to adrenaline and the sensation of excitement to the point of damaging such vehicle with unnecessary stunts. You would have to remind her of the dangers of not respecting and honor the machine spirits…but maybe that’s a lesson that will come to her sooner than you believe, just as the Van reaches the...

You are Tsukuda Ryouta. You can't feel anything.
You could never remember any of your dreams. You've learned about their existence through books instead of experience. You've learned that forgetting dreams is common, so you've never thought it to be an issue; just like you thought of yourself as an ordinary person, that, too, seemed in line with normalcy. But lately, you've realized that you might have never had them at all. Dreams are the reflection of a person's thoughts, concerns, wishes. Perhaps that's why you haven't seen anything...

Just a few rules questions to get us started. I haven't had a chance to play yet, but I would like these answered.
Is the +1 fight for wielding 2 weapons in the soldiers profiles already? Like with the treasure hunter?
What exactly are the benefits of wielding a staff and 2h weapon on a wizard? If my wizard is wielding a staff and 2h weapon, is my opponent getting -1 damage while I am getting +2 damage?
Moving out of combat? I know first action must be a move, but if your stuck in combat, does that mean your move is forfeit?
When creatures move randomly can they move off the table, or do they stop at the edge?
Are there any situations in which Will is used against anything other than spells?
A figure carryaing treasure can leave on any edge or just your own?
Are figures measured from the base or center of model? Most people seem to base on 25mm rounds. but in the rulebook all the minis seem to be on reaper style bases.
When shooting at a target, do you shoot against the targets modified fight (which includes like dual wielding weapons or magic weapons)?
When i embed enchantment on something, does it take up the soldier's available items slot?
When you successfully cast spells and when they grant you xp: does your apprentices cast spells count? Do out of game spells count?
>>44814641
I don't think you can use a staff AND a two handed weapon at the same time anon.
Also all henchman stat values include their default equipment.
>>44814967
Here is what I am thinking of. I want the benefits of races to be situational and slightly beneficial. That way they still provide something different, without creating a significant advantage. The nice thing about this system, is since it uses a D20, a +1 to something isn't quite as impactful as if it were to use a D6.
Dwarf: +1 to Will when resisting spell effects.
Half-orc/Orc: +1 to Fight on the turn this figure moves into combat.
Goblin/Halfling/Hobbit: +1 to...
