/tg/, if you were to have a class that was basically an alchemist/potion master/ye olde natural scientist, how would they be played? What would they look like? How could you make shopping for old leaves and powders not boring for other players? What would you brew other than molotov cocktails and fancy tea drinks?
General alchemist/potion master/ye olde natural scientist thread.

Depends on the game?
If the wizard buying bat-guano, the fighter sperging about swords, the rogue masturbating to his coins and the cleric flagellating himself for his god aren't boring for the players, I don't see why the alchemist doing alchemist stuff would be.
Also, while I loathe PF, their alchemist class ios actually really cool and versatile in the stuff it can do and can be built for.
Is this a good adaptation of the tabletop?
It's a great adaptation of the atmosphere, with solid characters that have awesome depth spread throughout subtlety and not so subtlety.
But table top? Yea sorta, I'm fighting skaven right now in my whfrpg and its going pretty well but were kinda screwed against the hordes you see in the game. Pretty low-level tho
>>44370762
it's more of a xcom warhammer
For theme? Sure does!
Is it the mordheim you loved playing for shenanigans and crazy wall climbing? No.
What would it take for you to accept and/or like the Tau? How would you improve them?
Hard Mode: You can't erase them from the setting.

I'd have the Imperium kill them. Or at least have the orks do it and have th imperial claim it as their master plan.

Squat 'em.
Say a Chaos god finally noticed their sorry asses or something.
they get enslaved by Dark Eldar and turned into all kinds of disgusting creatures by the covens
Orcs are wolflike
Elves, deerlike
Dwarves, rams?
Trolls, bears?
Human?
Thoughts? Can you think of more animal-like races?
Humans and monkeys are pretty popular pairings.
Or rats.
>>44369922
monkeys, duh.
Also, wargs/worgs aside, I always pegged Orcs as boar-like. Humans usually get the wolf themes just because they're most peoples' favorite animal.
Orcs are definitely boarlike. They have tusks and other pig features.
Let's talk about alien races in your sci-fi settings.
What kinds do you prefer? Men in rubber mask Star Wars aliens that take a little suspension of disbelief, or more realistic creatures from a Wayne Barlow wet dream?
Do you prefer having fucking truckloads of random cantina aliens coloring the galaxy, ensuring every NPC in the game is something newer and stranger than the last, or just a handful of four or five extremely fleshed out races to choose from?
Share 'em if you got em.

I gotta admit, this is sort of a thinly veiled inspiration thread. I've been running a home-brew space opera game for a few friends lately, and up until now i've more or less hand waved the issue all together. Since it was supposed to be a throwaway game that sort of took up a life of it's own, i just sort of thought up the aliens they encountered as they encountered them, with very minimal world building.
Now that the game's starting to come together as something bigger, I need to actually...

>realistic
don't do that.
Uh, I like having both "rubber-forehead aliens" and weirder "starfish aliens" in my settings. As much as I like to make eldritch creatures, I can't resist including some form of technicolor space babes. As for number, I like having variety, but I don't force it for its own sake. I need every alien to have at least a substantial lore and background of their own, and as much as I'd love to have a Space Dandy level...

I own a copy of wayne's book, and I while I love his stuff, I have a certain appreciation for green alien girls. In a proper space opera may as well run the whole gambit though.
You were in your mid 20s and working as a junior associate in a modest company. It might not be the most glamorour job that someone could have but it was the best you could do straight out of college. "Izumi, can you get this data to me by the end of today?"
"Yes!" Unfortunately, ever since you got the job you've been busy. Your life has revolved around pleasing your bosses to hopefully move up the company faster.
"I... I have to endure this for her." The only one that pops up into your mind was your beloved girlfriend. You've...
