You are Captain Kusajishi Riku, and things are going to work a bit differently tonight.
Now that introductions are out of the way, welcome to Shinigami Savant Quest's 2015 Omake Collection! Tonight I will present to you a series of short stories similar to the one last thread, whose canonicity and/or relevance to the quest are too questionable to include in a regular thread but which may prove interesting enough as part of a thread dedicated to such things. These may be fairly short write-ups on my end, or they might be fairly involved, requiring multiple decisions and rolls. So take everything you read here with a grain of salt, and sit back, relax, and enjoy!
I'll give you ten minutes to vote for where you want to start tonight, and I'll keep running until I either collapse, run out of players, or run out of ideas. The options I'm prepared to do are:
>Iron Chef Seireitei – Summer, 2000
Riku tries to host an “Iron Chef” style event to amuse the Seireitei's gourmets and epicureans.
>Spring Break – Spring, 1999
A snapshot of the life of Starrk, Halibel, and company on a day when nothing important is happening.
>Mirror, Mirror – Summer, 2001 (non-canon)
What may have happened had you rolled a 5 in the first thread and turned Riku into a villain.
>By Any Other Name (EXTREMELY non-canon)
SSQ meets canon, disaster ensues.
If a really popular write-in options comes up and gains traction, as always I'll consider writing it as well, but don't expect too much on that front as I'm pretty much winging it tonight.
Without further ado, let the voting begin!

>By Any Other Name (EXTREMELY non-canon)
Tonight calls for shenanigans!

So I'm starting a mega project soon, going to be getting one of the three Imperial Titans for painting , all three are very impressive.
But I also am a Horus Heresy Mini game player and was considering playability.
So /tg/, assuming that all three are fantastic models and will have love and care brought to their painting, which one would you own if you wanted to game with it.
My current ideas,
Warhound, cheapest pointswise and playable in smaller/even normal games at its cost. But its the smallest and has the least impact in Apocalypse games which are played every now and then. Estimated that I could play it once every 1-2 months
Reaver titan: The middle ground, its probably the most points efficient in game, is most balanced and is just a good piece of Apoc and really large games of HH, but is significantly lesser to the Warlord both and size and impact.
Estimated that I could play it once every 2-3 months.
Warlord: Here we decide to ignore any possibilty of usage in normal HH and even smaller Apoc games, its a God of War and the strongest model in the game currently, but will be played only 2-3 times a year at most and will be a display model for the most part.
What would you go for and why, for this assume the price wasn't the big factor but looks, playability, and awesome are more important.
Besides that Titan General
What do YOU want the titan for?
>>44399484
There is no real 'best' if you ask me.
All the different types of Titans have their own purpose in a Walk (Titan War)
If you want to form a option of the matter, I'd recommend reading Titanicus. Its ALL about Titans fighting.
And the politics between the Imperium and Mars.
>>44399484
Reaver cause it carries Warlord tier weapons at half the points.
Hello /twiggeee/ i'm working on a setting right now and you see i've got a question
Would it be possible for feudalism to exist in an early-mid 19th century society?
How would it be possible? I've been trying to wrap my head around it for a while now with no result.
How would you do it, /tg/? Particularly the military aspect of it. Would levying be in order? It'd be like conscription, right? How about standing armies?
>>44399184
it's not really my area of expertise, but for feudalism to persist into the 19th century, you'd need to pinpoint the cause(s) of its attenuation and then invent reasons for said cause(s) to be mitigated or otherwise prevented from occurring.
So, like I said, this isn't really a part of history I'm especially knowledgeable about but I understand the collapse of European feudalism to be the ultimate consequence of
- political changes that increasingly shifted authority and power away from feudal lords and into the hands of centralized sovereigns
- economic changes that lessened the value of land ownership and placed increased importance on the acquisition of capital and the transference of physical labor
- military changes that resulted in knights and levies becoming less desirable soldiery than professional mercenaries or combatants with modern training and equipment.
Of course, none really function in isolation - it is the intersectionality of these things that resulted in feudalism's death knell. If you can introduce any sort of appropriate rupture to these societal shifts, you could easily present an alternate reality where feudalism persisted.
You mean like it did in IRL Russia?
>>44399394
Russia was a 13th-century society until the 20th century.
Meanwhile, on Krogan /tg/...
Why are we playing this Salarian kid's game, Krei?
>>44399089
My DM tried inserting his magical realm again. So I headbutted him. Hasn't talked about Quarians since. Did I do good?
>>44399139
no, you didn't. Since the genophage magical realm is all we have
I asked this a while ago and it turned into a pretty good thread, so I'll ask it again and see if that's the same.
How does one defend against a threat that can groundhog day a scenario over and over again?
>>44398770
Does anyone else (ie the players) retain memory of the previous iterations? Who or what exactly is the "threat"?
>>44398770
That movie where Tom Cruise dies 47 times
>>44398804
in this case, it's probably darksouls man. Though that's really a standin for whatever else.
And whether or not people remember it was a good factor to consider, and can be one of the conditions needed to fight such a threat. Or having someone able to at least inform the party time travel shit is afoot.
Do you wear wargaming apparel, /tg/?
>>44398451
Of course
I got it for free as a promotional thing so yeah sure.
>>44398451
wargaming? no. friends has some tattoos though (all them warhammers).
i'm ok with this shirt though. all that nostalgia, squee!
>The wizard has created a 4chan elemental.
What would such a creature be like?
>>44397966
It hates everything, even itself. It cannot be reasoned or bargained with.
This is way too easy
Shit Elemental
It would constantly call everyone a fag or autistic, while spewing hate speech about everything. It wears a fedora and shoots blasts of porn gifs.
Anyone run a game in the Buffy: The Vampire Slayer setting? I was thinking about using the Dresden Files RPG for it.
>>44397471
WoD or bust.Maid RPG is fine too.
>>44397506
I just figured that the, vanilla mortal, wizard, Knight mantle, unblooded vampire, and Sword of the Cross classes worked really well.
Xander= mortal
Buffy= Knight of the wyldfae Court
Willow= wizard
Angel= (mechanically) unblooded vampire
>>44397471
There is a Buffy and Angel RPG. Angel has more solid rules. They emulate the show well
Age: 735
Location: Unknown planet
Information: Receiving reports of invaders travelling in a ship like Frieza's, Daikon and his allies began to travel toward one of their worlds that had fallen under attack. On the way, Daikon accidentally damaged the ship while training, causing it to crash. Now, stranded on an unknown world, Daikon and the other Saiyans fell under attack from a creature known as Lusk, who was commanded by another creature known as Zakam. With both threats ended, Daikon recruited Zakam's daughter to work for him, and returned to his ship to find Kuriza, son of Frieza, having landed. After a brief fight, Daikon defeated Kuriza, only for five more large powers to arrive on planet
Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place in the years Frieza controlled Planet Vegeta, as the Saiyans grow in strength and try to find a way to free themselves.
Voting will operate on a first to five system, at least for the time being.
Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)
During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.
If a 100 is rolled, it is considered a crit success (unless 100 was the number you had to match).
If a 1 is rolled, it is a crit failure, regardless of whether or not the other two rolls are high enough to succeed.
If, during a battle, players want to attempt a writein action, that is allowed, but I am the one who will assign the number to it, so use caution
You're a young male Saiyan who fought in the war with the Tuffles. You've become one of the most powerful Saiyans in the universe, but there's still potential for you to grow stronger.

Power Levels (as of the start of this thread)
http://pastebin.com/HDXfeTkM
You remain where you are, and take a moment to sense the power levels that are approaching. Each of them are large, but four of them are massive, and one of those four is so unbelievably huge that you wonder if it's Frieza himself.
"Those powers, I can only read one of them," Soko tells you, frowning at his scouter. "It's at 12,000, the rest are way too high for the scouter to tell me."

Why does your setting not include Mellifleur, the lich-god from the 1992 book for 2e "Monster Mythology," whose accidental apotheosis and unusual circumstances make Neutral GOOD deities help him battle evil?
>Of all these beings, the most extraordinary tale is that of Mellifleur, the Lich-Lord. Mellfleur was an ancient wizard who had faithfully prepared his magical road to undeath, and dutifully enacted the magical rituals with great care.
>What he did not know was that a major god of evil—who varies from pantheon to pantheon in different versions of this myth—was just about to raise a mortal priest to become a demigod through divine ascension. A great backwash of god-magic resonated with Mellifleur's rituals, and the wizard became a demigod instead. Thus the Lich-Lord came into being by mistake, a glorious irony.
>Illithid sages have an extraordinary variant of this tale, claiming that the event involved a collective impulse among the gods themselves, so that several evil gods in different worlds were all carrying out the same operation at the same time, and their combined magical effects, summed and transformed, raised Mellifleur not just to deity status but to the status of a lesser god. This would certainly explain why in the GREYHAWK® campaign, Nerull is said to be the deity who created Mellifleur; in Toil, they say BANE?, and in other worlds, other dark names are invoked.
>One thing is for certain: to survive, Mellifleur has to have his avatars oppose the actions of the dark deity who created him, lest his own be diminished and the evil god recapture and absorb Mellifleur's power. The Lich-Lord must oppose certain evils to survive.
>On occasion, it is said, some deities of neutral good in particular actually aid him, to avoid the greater evil of the greater god triumphing. Evil fights evil, aided by good to maintain division.

In fairness OP it is hard to balance sticks.
>>44395891
You just prop it in the corner and make a triangle, it's not that hard.

Friendly duels can result in serious injuries.

Cool Titles Edition!
What's a good title for a level 20 fighter who uses a lot of supernatural abilities/hates the arcane. Basically uses it to hunt it kind of guy. I've taken optimization to a silly end point. Trained in alchemy/has a mutagen, but not well enough to be a full alchemist. Has a lot of pent up anger (has a rage). Basically he is quite a fury. He also has a familiar and can use some spells with the item mastery feats, and has all the bloodline feats for Eldritch heritage (orc).
Any ideas? It's in golarion and need to have something to do with his back story (hammering out the specifics after doing the build).
What kinds of tieflings or aasimar would you like to see?
>>44395194
Shrek.
Alternatively, the "Smash Mouth" or "Rocking Star."
Why are a lot of traditional gamers autistic? By autism, I don't mean people I don't like but actual, medical autism.
>>44391211
Could you quantify "a lot"?
>>44391231
Anyone who does anything he dislikes or disagrees with.
>>44391211
Presumably because it's a hobby in which you're not expected to interact with large groups of people too often, and it's generally accepted to be somewhat eccentric/atypical/abnormal. If you have trouble with social interaction, then a hobby where people don't expect amazing levels of social interaction is a good place to be.

AS far as nerdy art goes, you could do a lot worse. At least those are subtle, nice and work well together.

less threads that go more than 3 parts.
If it was good and constructive, something would've come out by the 2nd thread and 3rd should be wrapping it up with the OP getting shit done.
