Quite well, thank you very much.

You throw it at a flat surface and watch it tumble and bounce until it arrives at a stable equilibrium, at which point you read the vertically-oriented number on any of the visible sides?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here, anon.
Hey /tg/, which is better. The d20 system, or the obviously superior d100 system?
>>44186612
Seems like you've made up your mind already lil' buddy.
>>44186612
the d20 system

Don't do this.

You are River the Southhand, elf mercenary, and it has been nearly twelve years since you cried, for anyone or anything.
Now seems like a good time to catch up.

>You are River the Southhand, and you have chosen to be tried by the dead.
I don't want her for a party member. At all. But I do want her to live.
>>44183501
The woman who'd saved your life - Brianna la Croix, that was her name - had been so...so frank. So gentle. You remember the pain of your healing, remember wanting, so desperately, to live - and that soft, reassuring voice, treating you like a person and not an enemy.
You cry like you haven't felt anything in years. Maybe you haven't. Gods, where had it all gone so wrong?
When had you become so soulless?
You feel your ears pressed miserably against your skull, just over your hair. You'd faced death before, in battle. You'd been surrounded and woken up in medical tents; you'd felt knives in your gut, loosing your life's blood into the dirt and grass. You knew the hate and fury of the melee, when there was only vengeance and the cold, bitter promise of heavy coins on wooden counters and the booze that lulled you to forget.
You cry, and you mourn a little girl who dreamed of a grand adventure.
By the time Brianna steps back in, alone, with her hat off of her head in respect for your sorrow, you've dried your eyes, and even tried some of the coffee.
"The people I've wronged amongst the living don't know my name," you whisper. "They'll never know who took their husbands and daughters from them, who stole the bread from their mouths and the clothes from their backs. They cannot hold me accountable." You take in a deep, shuddering breath. "I will face the judgement of the dead."
>>44183658
"You know why I've asked this of you?" Brianna asks softly.
"I know," you agree, your pained voice resolute. "I am ready."
The dark necromancer leads you outside, to the graves outside the cottage. Her compatriots are already waiting; the dark-haired girl that makes the bird noises perches watchfully on a headstone, while the handsome boy leans against a crypt.
"Ancestors, cousins," Brianna calls to the graves. "I have a family matter to discuss....

What exactly was the historical advantage of aluminum?
Also, how could aluminum be used in a fantasy setting?
It has been mentioned many times that aluminum is analogous to mithril, but would aluminum or aluminum alloys be effective for armor or weapons?
Aluminum wasn't necessarily advantageous in and of itself. It was simply extremely difficult (though not impossible) to smelt it for an extremely long time, therefore it was a sign of wealth and power to have any of it at all, let alone "waste" it in a weapon or armor as detail. It wasn't all that useful for how rare and valuable it was, it was purely a status symbol.
Fun fact: the Washington Monument was originally designed to have an aluminum cap, because it was still seen as a metal of wealth at the time of its design (or maybe it was the Capitol...

The Washington monument does have an aluminum cap which was placed on the monument in 1884 n 1898 the Bayer process was discovered which made aluminum among the cheapest metals.

Anyone know the geographic and historical origin of this helmet? It's pretty cool looking.
>The young man with the golden skin drops to one knee, silver tears sparkling on his flawless features like droplets of sacred oil.‘I knew you’d come,’ he weeps the words. ‘I knew you’d come.’
>The God in Gold offers his armoured hand to the kneeling young man. ‘I am the Emperor,’ he smiles, benevolence incarnate, glory radiating from him in a palpable aura that hurts the eyes of every onlooker. Thousands of people line the streets. Hundreds of priests, clad in the dove-grey of the Covenant’s ecclesiarchs,...

How does the Emperor not understand that appearing as a golden giant will make people believe you're a god?

Okay so I don't know if there's just one guy making these threads and maybe English is not his first language but they are terrible. Like straight up the worst attempt to foster a game or discussion community on /tg/ I have ever seen.
But man I downloaded these books and they are so fucking gorgeous. This is the best RPG art I have ever seen in a book, the character illustrations look incredible and every single one is insanely characterful - you could illustrate this setting to someone just by clipping out all the PC/NPC portraits into one document and giving...

FFS you burned the link!
Fucking amateurs.

The themes attract a crowd of pubescent wannabes. Those are quite verbose. Don't mistake the fans for the game. It's actually pretty grown up and, as you stated, very pretty!
How might a man kill the pilot of a mechanical bipod without damaging the hardware?
>>44178841
Pickpocket nat 20
Same way you'd shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
>>44178841
Roll to pin the bipod until they eject.
I've spent the last four hours typing, populating my next campaign with races and monsters great and small. Now I'm sick of doing things and I want to not to things for a while. Therefore, give me your homebrew races, so that I may read about them.

You start
A hive-mind like commune of algae deep in the Earth; within aquifers and geysers.
These algae are the true members of their race, but occasionally they send up scouts to learn things about the world. Because they are still using the fragmentary and fossilized remains of creature from eons ago, they just slap on whatever features on these guys that make sense to them; hence they have fur, claws, horns, fangs, bladed tail, maybe poison and so on. Then, they shoot them up to the world from geysers and sinkholes, typically with a bag of special silver coins minted deep in...

Caterpillar people. The adults aren't sentient, so once the larva transform, they effectively die, even if their transformed, winged body is still living.
So of all the editions of warhammer 40k, which was the most solid? By that I mean, the least rules confusion, the smoothest play and good conciseness in general.
Also, where can I get a pdf of the 3rd edition rulebook? I can't find one anywhere.
3rd and 4th gets my vote. 3rd was great flavorwise and 4th was very convinient to play.
>>44175892
3rd using just the army lists in the book
>>44175892
3rd all the way. It was such an improvement rules-wise from 2nd edition. And everything after that just seemed like an excuse to sell more books without really changing the game in any significant way.
