Why does positive energy deal damage to the undead while negative energy heals them? That makes no sense. Good energy should damage them and evil energy should heal them.
>>44531761
You just said the same thing twice.
>>44531761
>positive energy = life energy
>negative energy = anti-life energy
Anti-life energy is what animates the undead.
imagine it like PH balance

About to play my first game in a week or so and wanting to start out small. How would this list work out for a beginner?
Points: 15/15
The Butcher of Khardov (*6pts)
* Spriggan (10pts)
* War dog (1pts)
Winter Guard Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts)
* Winter Guard Infantry Officer & Standard (2pts)
* 2 Winter Guard Infantry Rocketeers (2pts)
>>44532210
Look legit. I mean, I don't play Khador, but I know cracking Spriggan in 15pts game would be pain in the ass.
>>44532210
looks fine to me, although it may be worth it to drop the infantry for another jack, or try to get kovnik joe in there.

WIZARD THREAD!
>You are a young man named Lloyd from the frozen Northern mountains of Tordo, on the continent of Teege. After a youth spent learning magic, you and your girlfriend spent some time as bandits after your home was destroyed, but have recently taken a chance to escape that life into a legit one... As sellswords, admittedly, but it's better than nothing. When the situation calls for it, however, you might take on the POV of a character somewhere else for a thread.

Yeah, not much to say here.
You and the rest of Marrius' Group have had a slow few days since getting back.
Irene was pleased to hear that that one Anna has potentially found a warp staff to sell for her studies, though that's still some days away.
Leigh, Yancy, and Yulea are off on their misadventure, the prince of Neir, Cargia, nearly died against the same type of monster that Vill was, as of last you'd heard Ansi was in a dungeon, Lyeim is still on vacation, and while your essence has been recovering you've been much less active in...

You're frustrated at how little you have to do! Sure, you can't be in the spotlight all the time, but is it so wrong to feel like you should be important to your own adventure?
You daydream at one point and another about Vill, his laugh deriding you. That bastard's fingers were what did this to you, after all.
"Is business always this slow," a voice asks from behind you.
You jump in shock and turn around, seeing Asra.
"Did I startle you? My apologies."

Planescape General and Q&A
Thread starter question: Do you prefer the 2e layout of the Inner Planes, the 3.X layout, the 4e Elemental Chaos, or the 5e layout that merges the 3.X layout and 4e's Elemental Chaos?
Discuss Planescape and the Great Wheel here, whether the original AD&D 2e version, the 3.X version, the 4e version (yes, it exists in 4e, down to the baernaloths, the yugoloths, the Heart of Darkness, Maeldur et Kavurik, Tenebrous, Pelion, and the Last Word all being canon as of Dragon #417), the 5e version, or your own original blend.

>Do you prefer the 2e layout of the Inner Planes,
Great Wheel/Multiverse all the way, guvner.
Though I prefer the classic AD&D Manual of the Planes names for the planes. The Seven Heavens instead of Celestia, etc.
>>44530418
>I am exceedingly well-lanned on Planescape canon
What is Shemeska's master plan?
>>44534363
I always liked to use both. "The Seven Heavens of Mt Celestia" is a perfectly good way to refer to the LG Plane, and if you use either term people will generally understand what you mean.

Hey /tg/. I just got into Warhammer 40k. It's actually pretty cool and the tabletop is simple to get into for me.
So I've decided to buy my own sets and paint them. My friends told me I should start with space marines because it's an easy main starter.
What do think of my first one so far? I've never painted models before so any tips would be appreciated. I only did one to practice since I have plenty more.
I know have to thin my paints a little bit. I found that out last minute.

Just picked this up for the price of one nonfoil, lightly played Snapcaster Mage.
Did I do good?
You really need a playset of Baloths

What was the worst roleplaying-related thing that happened in 2015?
The Shadow Wants To Know.

Whatever you did, OP.
The shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men, so he already knows the worst thing.

>System pet peeves.
What annoys the fuck out of you when looking into a new system? What specific thing makes it hard for you to even get into it or consider running/playing it, despite the fact that the system might otherwise look good?
I guess I'll start with

If you could see another fantasy flight 40krpg made following any faction/group of your choice, what would you want to see?
Personally I think an Eldar rpg halfway between Dark Heresy investigation and the more spectacular combat of Black Crusade or Deathwatch could be fun.
A Horus Heresy game, where you play humans and marines Black Crusade Style. The big themes of mutual distrust and corruption are really big, and there's a constant threat of corruption on the scale of BC due to the very real daemon invasions going on at the moment. A mix of Death Watch and Dark Heresy in playstyle, where you're agents of Malcador or some other agency fighting for the Emperor and rooting out traitors to the Imperium.
Eldar Corsairs could be cool. Craftworlder, Commorite, and Exodite backgrounds could be used, and some professions within those societies.
Tau Empire, too, considering the wide variety of species you could play.
A Dark Eldar game which would basically be a combination of Black Crusade and Game of Thrones. You can have all sorts of conspiracy and plotting going on dealing with Commorragh while still having a lot of action running raids into realspace for wealth and prestige. I guess it'd basically be Crusader Kings II but with more rape, torture, and drinking souls.
Kinda want to drink a dude's soul now, not gonna lie.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning how DH2 can allow for a lot of non-military human stuff like being an Arbite, Crime Boss, or Imperial...

Does hell exist in your games? What's it like?
It's alright.
>>44525956
There are several, but I'll focus on one.
It's a domain called the Eternal Hunt, where your form directly corresponds to your ability as a combatant. Magic doesn't work normally, so once you shift in you're not getting out without doing some serious legwork.
Getting out involves killing an absurdly powerful hellhound, which is a hell of a lot easier if you have a physical form.
>>44525956

Do you go for vintage art when finding a card or do you go for the new hotness?
I go for the one I like most. In that case M10 is best.
>>44525857
whatever's cheaper
>>44526000
Trips for truth. You always use your favorite art(s). This also applies to cards with multiple arts from the same sets. Not so much lands, which I like to get a wide variety of.
You have to design a home, money isn't an issue and you have the skills of epic level magic users to help you in building it, thought it must be on earth.
Where will it be, what will it be like and why?
I will design it to be like your mother's house, since that is the house most familiar to me, and where I have the fondest memories.

I make a really nice house that's comfy as fuck in the city, with some redundancy in rooms. Spare guest rooms and a mothballed livingroom, stuff like that. Just as insurance.
Aside from that.. A well stocked kitchen, a storage basement with an emergency generator, lots of bookshelves and wooden furniture.
And since I have magic; There's a panic room deep below, and the whole thing has tons of wards. Only Invited Guests can enter without weird shit happening, with intended capitals. No implied...

Does /tg/ know any Idolpunk rpgs? I imagine Shadowrun or Cyberpunk 2020 would work well with a bit of tweaking.

Man, prepping a bunch of one sentence NPCs is a fucking shore. Got a favorite table for stuff like this? I'm essentially just writing down a short character description and motivation in a package of just a couple of words. The idea is to get enough to make up a interesting enough character on the spot.
I'm looking for a piecemeal armor system that is compatible with B/X based systems. Anybody know of any good ones?
