Does any else thing that the ultramarines are good as the sort of 'archetype' space marine chapter? Sort like super man and the rest of the justice league.
The other marines chapter tend to leaned towards certain themes and gimmicks which makes them interesting in their own right but kind of detracts away from the whole large then life space marine thing. Rather then be space werewolves or space vampires they're just happy to be the most space marine of the space marines around and focus solely on that.

Well yeah, it's kind of their purpose. Also makes them the most Mary Sue legion/chapter.
Of the 1st Founding Chapters, sure.

This is the island of the gods. There nothing else beyond this small isle, only 100 km in diameter. In the center of vastness consisting only of endless ocean, the Thousand Divinities have gathered to create the world.
You are each one of these gods. You each can add one feature to the world, be it a race, landmass, creature, object or fundamental law of reality.

I am god of Earth, Valu and I create 4 continents.
The eastern coast is ruled over by a race of sentient Golems, made by a race that is now extinct. They are a peaceful people and produce such finely crafted weapons and armor that most consider them to be art more than weapons of war.

I am the god of Cold, Istril. I create a race of fleshy, cold-blooded humanoids that can withstand incredibly low temperatures. I make them reckless and adventurous, and give them a desire for expanding their territory. I position them on the northernmost Continent.
More than four years after it began, the war has killed over 220,000 people of the Kingdom of Syria, half of whom are believed to be innocent peasants and their families. Raids are destroying crowded towns and villages, horrific bloodsheds are widespread. Basic necessities like food and mead are sparse.
You are to pick a race and a class in this conflict and fight for what you see as just. Good luck!

Could a street magician sneak into Wizard school and actually learn anything if he reads the right books?
Probably not. If a convenient "magic for dummies" book existed it'd either be given out easily to prospective students or destroyed to maintain a monopoly, so the school probably contains mostly technical manuals that don't make any damn sense without knowing the basics or having a teacher. And being good at stage magic doesn't mean he has the extreme intelligence/genes/spark/gift/whatever that a lot of settings require for actual magic.
>>44414045
Most likely not. But he still can pretend to study and pass the exams with bluff, deceptions and distractions. He's a street magician, it just screams that his Bluff/Sleight of Hand/whatever else are through the roof.
>>44414045
Real magic? no.
But he could become the best bluffomancer.
Essentially it is all psychological and convinces people you cast a spell. If you suceed on bluff/perform/etc they are affected appropriately.
Bonuses/penalties given depending on whether you know the actual somatic and verbal components, using focuses and stuff, also whether the target does.
Hello,
I just got 3 booster packs and a simple magic deck from a friend to play casually. I have 105 total cards. How do I make a deck? Would it help to post the cards I own?
Tell us how the /k/ Face came to be brother?
>>44413825
You have a long way to go. Google how to play magic. Get familiar with the card types, rarities, phases, and whatever. You won't find any helpful people here when it's comes to starting mtg. Also prepare to get raped hard for the first year or so unless you are willing to drop 2000 dollas.
>>44414033
I'm playing casually, I said. I don't even care about winning, just company.
With the sound of computers and muffled voices you wake up in a stasis pod onboard the Air caste transport Kor'Ra'sha. Your eyes slowly start yo adjust to the bright lights as the pod slowly opens, melting the remaining ice on you and inside the pod.
As you step out from the pod with only a yellow jumpsuit a drone hovers slowly over to you, accompanied by what looks like an older Earth Caste doctor.
The doctor pulls up a small data pad and starts to look at the scan the drone is currently doing. After a while he dismisses the drone.

Can we talk about Legends of the Wulin? I'm getting ready to run it again and skimming the rules over, and find myself wondering if there ever was much community content made for it here or anywhere about. Home made kung fu styles, loresheets, that sort of thing.
Also does anyone in here play it/have played it? How did you enjoy it? I love the game to death but my last attempt at GMing was ended after a few months due to school work load, so I'm pretty excited to be trying it again

Good to see some things never change.
To answer your question:

What would a catfolk subrace focusing more on the "good fortune"/"bad fortune"/"magician's familiar" aspect of cats be like?
>>44413534
Think about all of the negative stereotypes about gypsies.
Now imagine everyone wants to shag them.
>>44413534
Most catfolk already get bonuses to dex, luck and/or charisma, even those based on big cats that ought to be more about size and toughness.
Still, it's a start, just grant them some sort of ability to curse people or offer ways to avoid danger. Perhaps they really do have nine lives, though it takes the form of being able to avoid certain death nine times. Failure to activate the ability might well result in actually dying, and of course using it all up will leave them as vulnerable as anyone else.

Catfolk should just spend all day sleeping and then bitch at their party members to give them free food.

It roots your body in alignment with your soul in the astral plane, making it so that nothing can hold you without your willingness.

Alright, back to Lloyd after long enough.
You and the rest of your companions spend much of the day ostensibly investigating this mysterious essence-sucker, purported in a few cases to have done the same with blood.
Keyword: "Ostensibly," at least in your sake. Instead, you snoop around asking about the Wulf Company and their dealings. Way you see it, if they're connected to this vaguely-defined conspiracy, odds are your killer is too. Two birds that Duchess Victoria would like dead with one... Darkness blast.

Is it ever justifiable for a non-dragon to raise a wyrmling?
Depends on the setting.
Fantasy I'm familiar with often has dragon hatchlings that are mostly self-sufficient and don't need to be raised or cared for.
>>44412602
it tends to work out allright
>>44412602
Yes, though you're basically committing the next two generations of your family to the task until it reaches adulthood

Yeah, have you ever considered not gaming with this person? Are they a Southern black man mad about not getting chicken and waffles?
I lack Chicken+Pancake PTSD tales

Guy who was asking if Ressurection Orbs are only useless in Kill Team or useless in general: Useless in general.
Only real niche use is for Death Stars and giving them one phase of enhanced durability. Otherwise it just costs too much.
Star Wars CYOA
The date is 4BBY at the height of the Empire, the Imperials reign over half of known space, but not quite yet on your backwater planet... You're a former hutt slave who was owned by a Tatooine wraid hunter until he got himself mauled by a Krayt Dragon and you had the good sense to haul ass out of Mos Eisley and make a new life in Anchorhead with a brand new name. You wake up in your rented apartment at the rise of Tatooine's second sun, Tatoo II. Your back aches as you get out of your bed, springy and falling apart. You try to get a wash only to realise your water vaporators are busted. Again. You have work serving drinks in the Cantina soon, and Guganga is going to throw you on the street if you're late again. Hutts are naturally lazy creatures, and loathe humans who don't look good in metal bikinis. On the other hand, your friend Jabulba has some deathsticks, and he's being talking about a big job that could finally make you enough money to get passage off this place.
After you're dressed and ready, you head outside. The sun is already sweltering, and you're dying for a drink. The watering hole is a short walk away from the door out of your apartment. Three shady looking characters are huddled next to it. Two of them are hooded but you see one of them is a Weequay. He grimaces at you when you lock eyes with him. You decide to....
>A. Go to work at the Cantina, another day, another credit. You think one of the dancers is into you, and you don't want to get on Guganga's bad side.
>B. Go to meet up with your friend, the chance of a big payday has to be better than a stable job on the poverty line.
>C. Get a drink at the watering hole. You might be late for work, but you're gonna be dead of dehydration if you don't get a drink.
B.
Big money, big money
>>44412438
I'll just respond to first choice at first to get the ball rolling.
The prospect of heading to work seems less and less apprealing the closer you get to the cantina. As you draw near and see two Aqualish in a fist fight and a Rodian closing in behind with a vibroknife, you make a turn and head to the spaceport to meet up with Jabulba. You see him sitting on a cargo crate talking to a dreary eyed Ithorian. He grins at you as he catches your eye, his own eyes reflecting Tatooine's sun in a way only...

Should the guards in a Sci-Fi prison wear reflective, face-concealing helmets for anonymity and intimidation, or translucent helmets to increase prisoner sympathy?
Depends how you want your players interacting with them.
>>44460671
Why the prisoners should feel sympathy for the guards?
>>44460683
I want it to make sense within the setting. Reading about real-life high-security prisons gives inconclusive results.
