So, his ability just shits on Hangarback, right?

well, duh

I'm pretty sure Hangarback Walker is a nontoken creature when it tries to go to the graveyard.
Nm, Hangarback's 'shit out tokens' clause activates at death
Rules
1. Game Change: Switching each turn to a season, I think this is going to make things a lot better.
2. I will launch each season with a random event.
3. For you to take a valid turn you must link the new season random event and use the following format.
"Research"
"I want to research this type of technology"
(include a 1d20 roll if you wish to research)

Now that Greenland has given us access to its Steam Engine technology, we set about researching how to make a vehicle to run across our rails by steam power
In exchange, we use our build action to build a foundry for Greenland on their northern isle
Lastly we build more ships, as we have too few

The only Devil Tiger I've ever had work out was an NPC, who my players chose to help.
>>44176116
>who is your favorite Yozi
Pic related, there is just something so deeply cathartic about knowing a being exists that is literally "the absence of all virtue". I'm all for complex antagonists with their own motives and nuanced viewpoints. But every once in a while it feels good to know your characters oppose the cosmic principle of "being an absolute dickbag"
>>44176116
>Who is your favorite Yozi and why, /tg/?
Malfeas.
Because King.
>As well has anyone had Devil Tigers work out in their game or is it always a trainwreck?
Devil Tigers?
So tg, I watched Fellowship of the Ring last night for the first time in ages and one question came up that I didn't get an answer to: Is Sauron an elf?

Hes an angel.
A small problem has arisen with your experimental field, or rather, not so much a problem as an observation. Wild birds seem to have taken a liking to so much free food in one place and routinely raid the seeds and saplings. Ebba and Sera have made a game of chasing them off, but you can't help but feel this is again something the wolves could solve. But how could you go about taming them?
The answer, of course, is simple; food. You take a few scraps and wait near the refuse pile near dusk, when the lean outcasts start sniffing around. You have little success at first, as the wolves keep their distance and flee when you approach - apparently neither brave or desperate enough to attack you so near to your own 'pack'. Over time however, you leave the meat for them to take. It's good food, much better than the cast-offs your clan throws away and they seem to start getting used to it, allowing you to approach a little more each night, although they growl warningly if they think you're going after their meal. One night however, you have an unexpected visitor. Soqed is waiting for you, sitting on a mound in the earth and idly twisting his spear in his hands. He regards you curiously. "What in the world have you been up to?" he asks. He doesn't seem angry, thank goodness, but rather just confused.
Soqed nods towards the runts, who are very definitely keeping a respectable distance; the pack alpha feeds first and they are so far down the food chain it's not even funny. "You've been giving them food? Why? They've not done anything for you and can't do anything. The only reason I'm not insulted is that the rest of your pack are still leaving me meat when they return from their hunts. But these aren't what I am - they aren't even part of the pack! So why are you wasting good meat on runts and outcasts?"
>>44174232
How do you answer?
>Explain your plan to tame them
>Say you're feeding them out of pity
>Ask what he cares what you do with your food
>Tell him you're feeding them so they don't get desperate to attack the clan
>Other
Artfag here saddly away from PC so none from me today, though do have another set up.
>>44174297
>Explain your plan to tame them
Even if they're too weak to hunt, they're still able to scare off pests. And then we'll have more food from the plants, which means we'll need less from the hunts, which means we can leave a greater portion of our catch to you. Everyone gets more to eat, in the end.

It's some days before Christmas so of course there's a reason
For trouble to be brewing this holiday season
It looks like old Grinchy is up to no good
And of course, he had to target our neighbourhood
So if you feel like playing heroics and saving the day
You can join us on this little foray
There's some rules to follow but not even a lot
So let's give it an hour or so, then see what we got.
>>44173628
If would be pretty helpful for you to fill out this form
These days heroics are fairly regulated and a bit of paperwork is the norm
So if you think up a name like Prancer or Dancer
Or perhaps the Amazing Hydromancer
You can specify type and talent, and think up a trip
and then have a bout of somewhat heroic showmanship

So, if I understand things correctly; people are angry that the Tau won a campaign at some planet no one cares about and people are angry that the Imperium lost the campaign.
Why does this piss people off?
The Imperium loses all sorts of war campaigns all the time. Sometimes they don't even make it in time to the campaign and it's already over when they get there.
I don't see the problem.
>>44173171
It's the rough equivalent of North Korea invading and capturing both South Korea AND Japan...while there was an active US military force present, and without Chinese support.
>>44173171
Because Tau shouldn't ever win.
Let's play a game. Give the non-magical item above your post a magical property, then name a non-magical item.
I'll start.

While holding these scissors, you can see red tape extending out of the heads of those around you. Cutting the tape with these sheers drastically reduced their lifespan.

"What is "a lot of fucking Elves in Tolkien?" Alex?
I mean, they had an incredible amount of arrogance and hubris at more than one point, but if they weren't dealing with what they had to deal with, Middle Earth would still be owned by Elves. None of the other races realistically would have gotten a chance.
As it is by the time most people are familiar with it is essentially the trail end of the Elvish Apocalypse. Their great cities and heroes are things of the far past, they have...

Have you ever seen a friendship end at the tabletop?
DMing Pathfinder.
Party stopped a cult from summoning BBEG demon. Roll for loot. Party barbarian thinks that he deserves the loot. All of it. Claims that he solo'd the whole adventure. Barbarian player gets up from table, threatens to beats up the other players.
I end the session there and stop telling barbarian player about our future meetings. Change time and meeting place to avoid him.
No, but I've decided at the tabletop that I didn't want to be friends with someone I'd recently met.
>>44171988
Shouldn't have better talked to him, outside of a session, instead of avoiding him?Also did he solo's the adventure?
How do you deal with players who want to play as little girls?
>>44168241
Let them? Is this an issue? It's a roleplaying game, let them play what they want.
>>44168241
If I trust them? Let them play little girls. Likewise if they are little girls.
Don't deal with them at all.
don't put yourself in that position
if you find yourself accidentally in that position kick their ass out.
ITT: 40k history/science is now a school subject. Post some possible exam questions. I'll start.

Complete this popular space wolf phrase:

>2 would give their lives to protect you, the others will do anything to kill you.
Which 2 do you choose as your protectors? They are loyal and they hang out with you. You start out at home with your protectors. Whether you stay there or scram and go into hiding is up to you.

Grievous, predator as allies.
T-1000 and lizard as enemies.
Lizard stands no chance.
T-1000 is easily located. Composition becomes rapidly unusable with each successful strike allies have on him, and his weapons are generally useless. High heat damages the fuck out of t-1000s, after all, and plasma and lasers are hella hot.
Grievous is top tier
T-1000 is very high tier
Predator is very high tier
Slashers are shit tier
Lizard is mid tier
Aliens are low tier
Winter Soldier is between high and very high due to his weapons stockpile
Nuada is also between high and very high
I'd say the best combination is T-1000 and Winter Soldier. I don't care about WS himself but the T-1000 with that stockpile would take out all the others with ease.

You only pick your protectors. The rest will try to kill you.
I'm in the mood to run a western game, but find myself struggling to come up with ideas for what to actually do with it/for a campaign. Specifically, I'm not really sure how to set up the PCs.
D&D has this built in - they are all adventurers. Shadowrun has everyone play as shadowrunners.
The obvious choice is to claim they are all pinkertons, all outlaws, or a particularly large group of bounty hunters.. but it seems really clumsy. I looked at some of the source fiction (movies, books, etc) and I think the wall I hit is that the western is almost...

They've all been wronged in some way by the bad guy or his henchmen, and are all out for revenge and end up banding together because of the common cause.
Another possibility, is they were all in the same unit in the Civil war and went AWOL.
You could do an early western game where they're all heading out west for glory, riches and land. Animals, natives and the elements themselves are your major obstacles. Throw in some base building, exploration and etc and bam. If you wanted to go a little more fantastical, add lovecraftian tones with witch doctors, skinwalkers, ghost towns (legit or not), and even abandoned mines leading to places that should remain forgotten.
>select all the cactus
Kek
>the western is almost always about the journey of one guy, or a pair of guys.You don't typically have a party of 3-5 where they are all on the same "team" in the same way you do for D&D.
You're not all that familiar with Westerns, then, considering one of the hallmarks of the genre is titled "The Magnificent Seven."
Oh shit.
I only just now realized the whole 40k Nurgle/Isha thing is just a spin on the old Mesopotamian Ereshkigal/Ishtar myth.
Now, Nurgle's name and certain themes are based on Nergal (god of plague and general devastation), who was Ereshkigal's husband, but otherwise, the role of Nurgle is kinda played by Ereshkigal herself, the goddess of the dead, queen of the underworld, and sister of Ishtar, the fertility goddess and one of the most powerful in the pantheon, much like Isha prior to everything going to shit for the Eldar.
So the story goes,...

But where did you get the "hot" part from?

Ereshkigal was totally hot.
