What is this BBEG, /tg/?

Is this somehow a metaphor for immigration?

Sounds like something Bungie came up for Destiny.
Sadly you will never find out the answer.
You have just become the greatest meme master and one of the most powerful beings in WH40K

Make dumb posts on internet message boards. It's the only way to truly troll.
transform into pre-heresy Emps and show up in every chapter's base for inspection. And watch them falling and crying.
Or just transform into Lion and show up in living quarters on Rock and say
>Daaayum, that was a long nap, what's up fellow Angels, why your armor is green now?
find the rarest pepes and post them
As a DM, is it acceptable to narrate PC-NPC interactions vaguely and in third person?
IE: "The townspeople thank you for killing the bandit"
I know it's bad form, but I have a hard time narrating character personalities and how they'd speak when put on the spot
It's bad form to rely on it all the time. It's acceptable, however, when there's bigger things going on and you don't want a flood of interactions for minor things slowing down the game.
I don't mind that, if I get the same courtesy in return.
"The townspeople thank you."
"I tell the townspeople your welcome."
>>44206074
I think it kind of depends on the situation
Sometimes it's really not that important to have a conversation with the village if there's something more pressing at hand
but if it's part of the main focus of the session, you should probably play it out
http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?308234-Knights-of-the-Scarlet-Woman
Here is an organization I am thinking of using in my games. I'd appreciate some feedback on it.
Knights of the Scarlet Woman.
When we hear of knights, we think of men who are dedicated to the ideals of duty, self-sacrifice, honor and who esteem chastity as a virtue in women. We do not think of knights as those who seek to liberate women sexually; such men we think of as scoundrels. Men who seek to liberate women sexually are known as the corrupters of innocence, as devils...

One hundred years ago, the knights lead a revolution in one country, X, (unnamed to allow adaptation for different settings.) and seized the reins of power after the people had become cynical after repeatedly seeing the corruption, bigotry and false promises of the Knights of the Virgin. As a result popular opinion shifted in that country and the people of that country discovered a newfound dedication to love and romance which had been suppressed by the Knights of the Virgin as sin and godlessness.
Upon seizing power, these men (founders were dead by this time) sought...

Members receive a number of benefits and have a certain number of corresponding duties as part of their membership. The organization provides an atmosphere of tolerance where open discussion of secular ideas takes place. Members also receive a set of armor or robes depending on their class with the emblems of the order. (The order’s symbol is a kissing nymph and succubus intertwined with one another.) Members have a duty to come to the aid of fellow members in times of need and to remain loyal to the ideals of the order. They have a duty to fight for the order when called...

The order is structured on democratic lines for the election of representatives to the senate and the senate then gives a charter to military commanders to carry out military operations in various areas. Men and women are equal participants in the senate and the proportion of men and women is roughly equal.
The Knights of the Virgin consider the order to be evil while more pagan persons consider them to be heroes. The Knights of the Scarlet Women have found allies among druids, thieves guilds, the fey, bards and certain demons and devils. (such as Succubi and Eriynes.)

Why could Malcador tell the emperor he was wrong? Why was he respected?
>>44205622
Because Malacador was the being born in prehistory and guide to humanity. Big E was a warp being of his creation meant to serve as the guiding light to humanity.
>>44205913
Which is why the Emperor never had a real name. He was an abstract concept given form.
>>44205913
Pity Malcador could not keep his creation in control and not fucking up.
You are a squire.
Not a glamorous position, as you can already tell. Being the number two to a guy above you is never the preferred option. You have to do all the lifting, busywork, and in the worst case scenarios, get your knight out of sticky scenarios.
But that sweet reward at the end! A knighthood of your own, your OWN squire to boss around and so much glory to reap! It's almost worth putting it up with it all. Emphasis on almost.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, /tg/.
>What is our name?
>Arthur, our parents had high hopes for us, and while we won't ever be a king, we're already working towards becoming a knight and making them proud!
Bum, for our father Bum, and his father Bum (Called Grand Bum now, as you are called Little Bum)
You come from a proud line of dirt farmers.

So, in my campaign im about to introduce the party to a special group of individuals, they happen to be the continents most renowned adventurers who have struck down many a foe and aided hundreds.
My party is likely going to oppose them in some way (theyre not evil, theyre just stubborn). and i do plan for there to be a moment when the parties will clash, like my party might be unknowingly working for the bad guy, or the other way around, the NPC team is being manipulated by the big bad.
but before i introduce them i need to be sure who it is im introducing, so...

Has there been a definite release date on this? My usual game group has been wanting to play it.
Also Rifts General.
I dont really care for rifts, that setting is fucking rekt. There is no way anything in that setting should even be around anymore. I mean totally fucked. That being said, i fucking love me some palladium games. So i support your thread nigga
>>44205501
Whats so recket about it.
But as for savage rifts per the forums on pinicacle they are going tonrun a kick starter, so not before it concludes.
Over a month for sure.
>>44205545
I'll submit this as my example
The coalition. More accurately, the mega damage d-bees further to the north. The ones that absolutely want to wipe out humanity. These things are naturally mega damage, the coalition just doesn't have the resources or the manpower to properly fight these things outside of chi-town. But for some reason these things haven't attacked. For no reason other than "lol reasons". Dont pretend the coalition would team up with tolkeen or be able to get their shit together...

Hey /tg/, me and my group are nearly done with our starter campaign and the group has volunteered me to be the next DM.
So what's a good way of breaking the ice with being the new DM and getting the group accustomed with my methods?
Is there a certain way that you DM? Or do you just wing it and see what happens?
I'm pretty anxious on being the new DM so I'm asking if you can give me some pointers.
practice, literally you can talk on /tg/ for weeks and not be any better as a GM, id say pick a system, find a pre-made adventure and hope for the best
>>44204759
>practice
I want to be at least somewhat prepared before I jump into a new pre-made campaign.
I was thinking of setting up some small scenarios inspired from video games to get everyone familiar with me.
Out of all the reasons that caused the Primarchs to fall to chaos why didn't one fall because of love?
The idea writes itself, either the primarch falls for a mortal and outlives them and turns to chaos in a desperate effort to fill the hole they left or finds mortals unrelatable in their entirety and turns to a xeno or demon as a life companion.

Slow Cosby didn't exist in the 80s. But you're certainly free to feature that in Your Dudes' chapter/legion.

Let's dump a some art for people who think that playing humans is for wussies.
>The campaign includes an elite guard of dragon riders
>The GM won't allow any of the party to learn how to ride dragons
>There isn't even an in-game reason, the GM just says no
For what purpose?
>>44203817
See if NOBODY rode dragons, that would be one thing... but when there's lore precedent for dragon riding, a DM should allow players to put in the effort to learn, and perhaps even have the goal of JOINING that elite order.
>>44203887
It's pretty much the huge sore point for our entire party. We thought it'd be some special circumstance where dragon and rider have been bonding since both of them were children, but nope. They go through a program and pop out the other end knowing how to ride dragons. We all want to learn. Hell, even if we just end up doing one quest/mission on dragon back we'd be happy, but the GM's stuck on a no.
>>44204116
Has the GM given an out-of-game reason of any kind?

I'm DMing a Pathfinder game and my players have just made it to level 4. I've decided to spice things up by provoking some inter-party aggression. I need some advice on how exactly to goad the players into attacking each other.
Right now the party consists of a Fighter, a Bard, a Cleric, and a Wizard. They're all just typical adventurers for hire. But the problem with getting them to start hating each other is that they're all bros in real life (two of them actual brothers) and they always seem to talk to each other about what they're doing in...

Seems like your party is very good party and by trying to "spice things up" by provoking rivalry you actually stand a fair chance of ruining your game entirely.
I'd suggest not arbitrarily choosing to "spice things up" without player input, especially where it comes to party rivalry.
Work really hard to GM and throw a bunch of ideas and plot hooks at them.
>>44203540
Ask yourself why first.
So how is MYFAROG from a purely technical standpoint? Did the ammount of autistic research Varg put into the mechanics effect the game positively or negatively?
>this thread again
Let's see if he brought his friends to keep this thread bumped this time or not.
>>44203402
Wasn't he that guy that burned down that church?
>>44203492
Fuck off, m8.
I for one would like an unbiased opinion of the game, considering that googling it gets you the official site and then a bunch of articles that focus on Varg rather than on the game.
>>44203529
Something like 3 churches and murdered a dude.
