Of the 20 First Founding Legions, which one was the strongest?
>>48046441
If you mixed the World Eaters with the Word Bearers, would you get a World Beating legion?
>>48046441
Iron Hands is currently strongest because their legion rite makes them reduce the strength of all weapons by 1 and gives their tanks iwnd. Alpha legion are next because they can steal any unit
>>48046441
Define strong.
>>48046485
You need to average the spare l from World out somehow to make the pun work
Where do you like to place your player's characters in terms of power? I know it depends on the settings but what do YOU find most interesting.
A) They're far more skilled than the average person and those who match or surpass their strength are considered as extraordinary as they are.
B) They're just as equal in strength as those around them. The level 6 paladin is just 1 in several hundred numbers of other level 6 paladins.
C) Your characters are considered weak in a cruel and unforgiving world where most of the things they go after are...

It's like difficulty levels.
A is easy. It's for people who don't want any challenges or hardship.
B is respectable, but kind of dull.
C is the real deal.
>>48045983
I am a simulationist, therefore B. Before everything else, things need to make some goddamned sense.
>>48046019
You can have difficulty with A.
It just changes the number of foes you're throwing at them and up the ante on the kind of schemes/tricks you have planned for them.
Greetings elegan/tg/entalmen.
The forces of Chaos are pushing towards Holy Terra. Four chapters of the Adeptus Astartes have answer the call to push them back: The Pretty Marines and their army of squealing teenage girls, the Reasonable Marines and their logical tactics, the fearson Angry Marines and their insatiable RAEG, and the Potato Marines, with their unshakable faith in the Emperor.
Explore how each chapter interacts with the others. Use info from 1d4chan and what you remember from the threads that generated these chapters, or create new fluff for the chapters.
>>48045904
Finally, a return to the golden age
Such board culture
I guess the reasonables would use the other ones as a decoy...
Potato Marines as a wall.
So I was hoping to get into this system and I haven't been having a lot of luck finding a community or titles or much of anything.
Are they just kind of walled off from the rest of the internet? Did the MMO going full micro transaction scatter the community? Is it because the name's tricky to search?
Also if any players are here; what supplements do you recommend?
>>48045741
>Seeker vs. Doctor Destroyer
This will always make me chuckle.
>>48045797
Why?
I think the problem is that the system is relatively unknown, and thanks to Champions Online, will probably only be known as just another MMO.
Start making more threads about it. If this one falls off the board, try again. Get some books, read them, run a game with people off the gamefinder thread. You can probably find the books in a torrent somewhere. Build some interest around a system people probably only have a passing notice of if they care about MMOs.
Want to see a community grow? It has to start somewhere.
This here is a good old /tg/ get together where we can share our various ideas in order to create a setting. There are just a some basic rules
>No shitposting
>It needs to make sense in the setting
>Have fun
I'll start:
The setting has humans in it
>>48045598
It's sci fi setting
>>48045598
It's deep in the past
>>48045598
The cities are all on the inside of giant spheres rolling forever.
Stat me /tg/
>>48044713
5/5, can't attack or block unless a player has no cards in hand. Some colour, wolf construct, artifact creature.
>>48044741
>Some colour
Colorless actually.
A weapon to surpass metal gear!

OK, I started filling out the character sheet, but I'm a little stuck on this part:
>NAME:_______________________
Where the hell do I go to talk about Theater on 4chan? It lies somewhere between /lit/, /tv/, /mu/, and even a little of /tg/ (considering the notion of playing roles).
>>48042582
Not here, we usually don't play for a large audience.
I'd go with /tv/ personally. Just be careful when posting anything that involves child actors, /tv/ is 3dpd loving freaks.
>>48042582
>Where the hell do I go to talk about Theater on 4chan?
Try /lgbt/
Would it work well as a tabletop game?
I think combt part of the game could be interesting boardgame
>>48042469
Do you mean the setting, the mechanics, or something else?
>>48043982
The mechanics, though the setting lends itself well to a tabletop RPG in my opinion.
Please /tg/, tell me all you know about Viking sailing and ships!
What were their ranks called? What did they carry to eat? What was the mark of a good ship? What was ship-to-ship combat like? Anything you can tell me would be appreciated!
I'm writing a Early Middle Age/Viking Age style setting, though with magical flying ships. The flying ships obviously feature heavily, so I want as much inspiration material as possible!
Thanks, /tg/!
(Any information about other ships of the age, if they differed, would also be appreciated!)
>>48042084
Viking ranks in society was decided by bloodlines, but as far as I know they didn't have any particular ranks on their individual ships except Rower and perhaps a captain of sorts.
If possible they would eat salted pork or usually fish. They could also dry and salt their fish or smoke it to make it last.
A good ship was any ship that was light enough to be put on a cart, does not stick too deep into the water and that can easily be pulled up onto a beach. Part of what made the vikings effective was that...

Actually your suppositions on viking naval warfare are untrue, the way they did it was no where near that logical. The core of their naval fighting method was not bows and arrows. Unable to properly use their ships as rams, the vikings would lash several together and THEN ram the other guy, not as an attempted ram, but to get close enough to turn it into a melee. Viking naval warfare consisted of attempting to make it into just plain warfare.
I'm not shitting you, or memeing vikings as warrior race...

I do remember hearing something like that. It makes sense as the thing of value here is the enemy ship and equipment, and they wouldn't want to sink that.
so I got Pic Related given to me. I've only just gotten into 40K and I'm building a Chaos Marines army.. Are there any rules to allow using this kind of unit in 40k? Like being summoned by a Chaos Sorcerer or something of that effect?

He's Be'lakor and one of the best model ever made by GW (surely their best demon).
You could use it for a Demon Prince, since he technically* is.*By "technically I mean he's the first and greatest of all Demon princes
>>48042087
so what makes him so amazing other than that he's the first demon prince?
And if I 'technically' use him is that kosher with the "official" GW rules?
I've been recently forced by democracy into running an anime-themed game. My initial idea is to have PCs and NPCs be famous anime characters divorced from their home settings and transplanted into a fantasy setting. Lelouch ve Britannia is rallying bandits for an uprising, while Spike Spiegel has a contract to capture the PCs for General Gendo Ikari's program, etc.
That being said, what is the best way to simulate a wide variety of anime characters? Pic Related is an obvious choice, but point buy systems tend to have terrible balance and end up with either watered...

>Should I bite the bullet and embrace the unbalanced nature and fluctuating power levels inherent to the source material, or should I force the characters into Pathfinder-shaped molds?
Isn't that the same thing?
>>48041747
Not exactly. Pathfinder gets powerful, but it doesn't allow a character to buy a 10-storey fighting mech ala' Escaflowne.

I have a 53 page WIP jump for FATAL made up, where do I post it?
Is 4chan REALLY Pure Evil?
>>48040462
yeah
you seen the way people talk to each other on here?
>>48040462
Of course not
There's no way we're pure
Nah. It's that we're all anonymous, so we are free to be the hateful, aggressive bastards we're at heart with no fear of social repercussions.
