How do you feel about dragons as a fantasy staple?
>>44766218
I feel there's more effective ways to stick paper to things
>>44766232
Bravo
>>44766218
At this point, boring.
I'd like to see more dragons that are just savage as opposed to talking flying lizard wizards. Like giant animals that are more a force of nature than some proud immortal demigod.
So, why exactly were the Sisters of Silence made female-only? It doesn't really make sense to limit your recruitment of an extremely rare and valuable breed of people by half for no reason. What were done with the male blanks during the Great Crusade/Horus Heresy era?
>>44765077
Because women are more loyal and strong willed than men.
Fighting against daemons and powerful psykers as pariahs requires incredible mastery over one's willpower to channel their pariah abilities and nullify their powers.

Served in the Army just like everybody else.

Because you're trying to apply logic to a series who main design philosophy is "WHO CARES AS LONG AS IT'S SO GRIMDARK IT'S FUNNY!"

I do in larger games sometimes, but you need Night Fighting for the effects and all it really grants is a 5+ cover save for Troops when they're embarked in Venoms that have 5++ saves anyway - obviously, zero benefit isn't worth losing ObSec over.
Even when I do run RSR, my only units in the detachment are Venoms (5++ anyway), Reavers (3+ jink anyway), Scourge (which admittedly could benefit from it if something would get through...

What did you guys use to practice your painting skills on?
>>44764919
Well, what would you replace the Grotesquerie with, if you had to? Or, I suppose, what list would you run if you were disallowed grotesques, since that list seemed pretty centered about them.
Your last played character vs. this guy.
Good thing my last character hated kids... and humans in general.

At any moment you can play any computer RPG game from a large established library, many of them award-winning games that many praise heaps upon.
So why do you continue to bother with traditional table-top games in spite of the logistics involved in such a past time? Logistics such as getting a group of players together, a GM preparing the game, and all the bookkeeping involved? Not to mention all the limitations of a tabletop had versus what a computer is capable of handling for you?

Does anyone here play a technomancer?
How do I make them less overly punishing as a GM in 5th?
bump.
how does one boost the firewall rating of a device such as a vehicle through mundane means (decker only)? I find my players are having too easy of a time hacking vehicles and such.
Somebody said last thread to slave it to a link running encryption. At best, an off the shelf link will have 7 firewall like that. What else can I do?
Also technomancers can't run programs right?
Where my eternal format players at?

The BBEG of your current campaign has been replaced with Sephiroth.

Presumably the character with the least combat applicable skills get railroaded to death.

Did anyone ever use these in a game? How did the fight go? Will they ever be statted for D&D 5e?
They were among my favorite 3.5 monsters besides the turlemoi.
>>44759486
> statted for 5E
They were in the Epic Level Handbook in 3.x, so not until 5E gets one of those, I'd wager - if it ever does.
Remember that in D&D it is typically outright impossible for a small group to beat a single monster with a CR 5+ more than the group's level.
I mean, with that many powerful attacks per turn, plus flight and all the other nonsense, it was basically a one-creature army.
bump
can someone maybe try statting it? I can post the 3.5 stats if you want, or you can find them they are free online on the SRD
>>44759674
>it was basically a one-creature army.
Well yeah. That was exactly the point of the Hecatoncheires.

Boot camp, affectionately referred to as “Camp Cocytus” by the rest of the staff, turned out to be located in the sticks of North Virginia. It was a two hour drive from HQ in D.C. that finds the five of you being carted off towards the middle of nowhere after dropping off all your main necessities in the main base.

MacKay looks out of place without his black cassock and white collar; Brady, even more so with the absence of his suit. Victoria’s change of attire doesn’t trouble you as much. In place of their respective clothing, the trio is more or less dressed in what could’ve passed for hiking clothes: plain t-shirt, khaki pants and sneakers.
Fitz looks like she walked right out of an army recruitment advertisement: grey cargo pants, combat boots, and a t-shirt with the words “In it to Win It” underneath...

Also has anyone tried the shifting loyalties campaign system? I want to get one going...

I actually just started a Shifting loyalties campaign.
So far I'd call it good since I lucked into slapping pneumatic legs on Taelor.
I'm at an impasse as to what to add for next week though.
So far my crew is
Taelor (leader)
Aionus
Void Wretch x2
I'm debating between Friekorps Trapper or Hans.
My master I'm going to add at week 4 will probably be Von Schill.
>>44759218
I'm looking to run the rpg.
That being said the fate masters almanac is pretty lacking when it comes to comprehensive lore. As someone who only has the barest touches from the tabletop game this is an issue. I don't know anything at all about the cult of December or Lucius for instance. I'd be worried about running a game for folks on here in fear of disappointing then with fluff inconsistencies.
From my understanding the fluff is quite dispersed, right? Fiction in magazines and such? The wikis I've run into are just tactics also. Any collected source where I can just read everything about everything (such as the lexicanum for warhammer)?
