>The gnome conspiracy was about the large scale abduction of human women by the gnomes. The reason they did this was to force them to mate them with ogres so they could breed half ogres, a lethal process to these women.
>After uncovering all of this nothing ultimatively comes from it. As the gnomes simply one up you at the end of the story line with you unknowingly helping them destroying the last evidence. They then go on to taunt you about it and how you can't do a damn thing because nobody would believe it.
>It means that hundreds or even thousands of women were abducted, raped by ogres and often died by giving birth.
Fuck gnomes; they're good for nothing and pure evil.
Arcanum had some dark shit in it.

Well, I could still murder every fucking Gnome still living.
>>44478133
Worst part about it, is that you're blueballed. You can't do anything about it, besides going on Gnomish genocide.
The gnomes won in their scheme to make a race of menservants and bodyguards.
TPK thread? What roll doomed your party to hilarious death? Or did you kill each other on purpose?

Bump.
Our DM killed us off so we could start a new campaign during the next semester. Instead of giving us heroic or satisfying deaths, he decided to lock us in a room and teleport in his level 20 Mythic min max bullshit build he had from an old campaign. I'll elaborate if anyone's interested.
We tried to fight a The Thing monster and everyone but one got absorbed.
In what settings would it really suck to have this around your wrist? Whether it's because of political of scientific reasons of the setting.
>>44477673
Probably 40k because PURGE THE XENOS bullshit.

Paranoia.

How do I best run a JRPG inspired game? What system?
I mean like saving the world, starting by bashing ferocious rodents and jellies and ending by slaying planet obliterating demon gods. Also the game's mechanics, levels, etc are at least somewhat known in character.
I admit the brown elf is mostly to attract attention
>not homebrewing a system and editing it with chicken wire and duct tape for every new setting, slowly amending rules and creating a historic and detailed system
maybe I'm out of touch but I spent once 1hr on a fantasy homebrew system and it stuck, it was put through a lot of abuse to make it compatible with scifi and sliceoflife systems
>>44477345
It's going to require you to do a lot of work in creating a setting.
In D&D games, most of the time, the setting is divorced from the mechanics, whereas in most JRPGs, the setting and mechanics are tied together.
For instance, in a Microlite20 game I'm running, feats are tied to specific items, and magic items themselves are also tied specifically into the setting as important artifacts, and will be tightly controlled.
Additionally, magic has been thought out and integrated into the setting thoughtfully, rather than just being "AIN'T GOTTA EXPLAIN SHIT"
posting more brown elf
Is there any good character art of alchemists available?
Also, Character Art thread, the other two are Star Wars themed it seems.
What would a Star Wars campaign be like in the eyes of a Clone trooper?
What class and skills would a average clone trooper have?

I don't give a fuck, I just want that maroon motherfucker's armor but in camo.

>Look at this shit. How come we can't ever invade a cool planet, with like chicks in bikinis, you know? How come planets like that don't ever need Clones? I'll tell you why. It's lack of pussy that fucks planets up. Lack of pussy is the root fucking cause of all galactic instability. If more Confeds were getting quality pussy, there'd be no reason for us to come over here and fuck 'em up like this! Cause a nut-bustin' Confed is a happy Confed.
Hey /tg/ I was wondering if anyone on here still played Malifaux and might be able to guide me in the right direction. I was recently drawn back in by the LGS today when finding out that there is a decently sized group there. I never got to play my first crew, which was the dreamer, back in the first edition of the rules, and the guy I was talking to recommended that I build a more "forgiving" crew first as the dreamer is apparently more difficult to play now. So I've decided on Lilith as my starter, from what I've read it would seem she needs some Young nephilim and Mature Nephilim to work properly, how many would you say I need of each?
Follow up question, After picking up Lilith's crew and the nephilim, What do I need then?
What I have right now is, Dreamer+ LCB, 3x alps, 3x daydreams, 2x stitched together, Coppelius, 2x teddy, Lelu, and Lilitu.
I'm also interested In Tara and Jakob Lynch if anyone has information on them.
>>44476169
From what I hear, Lilith likes Waldgeists
>>44476059
They were very good at killing things, and had more raw muscle and lifting capabiltiy than a marine (their greaves are unpowered, so they're in essence lifting the weight of a motorcycle 24/7 on their own shoulders) but they were still mortal; almost all of them are dead from old age; one must remember they were a thing /thousands/ of years ago by 40k, and were not for their power armour they'd become nothing but another trivial detail of the pre-imperium age lost to history.
>>44476059
They were stronger and faster than marines, and generally more bloodthirsty. Emps programmed a short lifespan into them, as he had planned from the start to replace them with the marines of today, being more ideally human. And the custodes (the emperors guards in gold armor) are even more powerful still.
>>44476059
>How good?
Very.
>Where are they?
Dead. They had a built in expiration date.
Happy New Years!
Looking for interesting two player games or things to do with a friend on NYE related to /tg/.
Have magic decks but I'd love to broaden the spectrum.Just over a year since leaving HS for college, gradually getting harder for our quartet of friends to stay in touch, only two could of us can make it to our annual NYE board game do. Being an adult gets easier, r-right?
Will post some scenery in the meantime.
>>44475660
Got Yugioh decks?
>>44475702
Unfortunately not, never met a player since primary school. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Am happy to just turn this into a landscape thread.
Why are Vulkan's Perpetual regeneration abilities so much more effective than the Emperors?
If the Emperor has a level of precognizance/omniscience, and created the Primarch, couldn't he have thought to use his genetic abilities to heal himself after he was wounded by Horus?
I think it has to do with the emperor having to divert his power elsewhere
>>44475161
When Four Chaos Gods decide to join together to ruin your day, they ruin your fucking day, especially when you are holding back to not hurt your precious little babby boy.
What a fucking tool, the Emperor.
Why are Magnus' Psyker biomancy abilities so much more effective than the Emperors?
If the Emperor has a level of precognizance/omniscience, and created the Primarch, couldn't he have thought to use his psychic abilities to heal himself after he was wounded by Horus?
This coming semester in college I'm DMing a modern day DnD campaign where the characters are all diseased in horrifying ways, but that's beside the point, I'm wondering how DMs make up plots for campaigns and missions set in the modern day. Do you look to movies and TV for inspiration? I thought I'd start with that, then add my own flair. What do you recommend?
Get drunk and wing it.
Alternatively, ban something innocuous. That's guaranteed to get the players motivated.
I go out of my way to completely avoid any overt references to contemporary political issues or figures.
>>44474877
I sort of already did ban some innocuous things by cripplingly nerfing the players from the get go with diseases.
As a hero or adventurer, would you permit an evil, murderous forest if this forest produced fruit that is effectively a macguffin as a lure?
Think things like being able to cure disease or bring people back to life by eating this fruit, or whatever happens to be really fucking hard to come by in your setting.
The forest can't really spread, so it needs to lure people in to kill 'em.
Yup, burn it down.
How the fuck do you eat a fruit when you're dead
>>44474517
Shit man, what makes you think I want to or could murder an entire evil forest? Do I look like that jacked a Druid or Pyromancer or whatever? Let the elves and dryads deal with it, I'd rather pluck fruit from the rim for resale or personal use. Just fence that shit and be on your way.
There's probably murder dryads just waiting inside for some jackass to drop a match or rev a chainsaw.

My parents have long played a five dice version the family just calls Dice. It's a great game for when you're sitting around, drinking and bullshitting on a hot summer's night.
>>44473553
My family plays this game every now and then. It's fun, but it was while I was playing with them that I realized I was becoming a neckbeard.
>"Alright anon, you're turn."
>"Okay, pass me the d6's."
>"The what?"
>"...The dice, my bad."
This is how I BBEG.

Ironically enough, I'm running a F/SN game and one of the PC's rivals summoned Charles XII as a Rider-class Servant.
This is how I chaotic neutral.

That guy looks so dorky. I'm sorry, but I couldn't take him seriously with his receding hairline and lipstick. It looks like most of his skinny looking head is his face
Is he supposed to be awesome or something?

Am I the only one who thinks that wouldn't taste THAT bad?
Hey all, if I remember correctly, 2nd edition 40K had armour save modifiers and other nuanced forms of crunch that disappeared in later editions (the last save modifier I remember was the 3rd edition choppas that only allowed 4+ or worse saves).
Does anyone who plays now want these things back? I like the idea of having armour save modifiers/to-hit penalties and bonuses/other nuanced forms of crunch.
Also, has anyone ever tried making a homebrew 40K that uses larger dice (d8/d10/d12... etc)? I love 40K more than any universe, but I can't stand that 5 probabilities ranging from 1/6 - 5/6 are supposed to be the basis for everything from a grot firing a shitty improvised pistol to a carnifex with giant crab claws or a plasma weapon.
bump, at least 1 of you had to have started 40k before 2005
Old rogue trader player here. GW decided it was too crunchy and wanted to move to a faster paced game style so out went armor modifiers and to hit modifiers with them. The last hold out of those old rules were the 3rd edition choppa rules IE any save better than 4+ is now 4+.
>>44474444
I guess I should have read the whole post before replying, this is what I get for being drunk.
For bringing the modifiers back just grab a copy of WHFB rules and try playing a game of 40k with them and see how it goes. We tried this once, it was different I'll give it that.
Af for the dice, it all simplifies down to about the same really. D10s would be interesting, but I think d6s are the happy medium. But that's just my two cents worth.
