What does /tg/ think of homunculi and there artificial lives that they have?
They're really interesting and under used.
The concept of artificial beings that are living but soulless is theologically great.
Bad idea, the whole concept is nothing but trouble.

I was pretty fascinated by them. In early drafts of a fantasy series I was working on in my head, a Homunculus girl was the main character.She was a prototype to the main antagonist who was made by the same creator. They were both meant to replace the gods of old who had died. The girl didn't really have any cool powers from it though.
I also statted up a "Homunculus race" for 3.5 with someone else. Gist of the stats were:

So guys, would you like to share a backstories of your warband? Any sworn enemies hunting them down? Or maybe they've been preparing a grand campaign in the name of the dark gods? And most importantly, who keeps all of your traitors together, so they may face their bloody/exquisite/excessive/pick whatever you want future.

I've been working on the fluff of one that I plan on making in the near future. Not sure if I'm sold on it yet, but what I have so far:
The Fell Horde had their start as a Loyalist Space Marine chapter around the 37th Millennium, where they discovered a lost human colony beyond human space. This colony, however, had an unusual number of human psykers than the average, but maintained a relatively stable society through their own means of sanctioning. Deeming the inhabitants of this world as worth protecting due to their compliance and diplomatic approach towards the chapter, as well as them being the only human settlement anywhere nearby, the Space Marines posted their Fortress-Monastery on this world and began further recruitment, as well as to carve a place for the Imperium.
As time passed, an Inquisitor happened upon their world, and she became fascinated by the anomaly of the planet. Making a pact of cooperation between her powerbase and the Space Marine chapter, she began an investigation to discover the heart of the high psychic activity among the locals, as well as the Space Marines themselves.
Through extensive archaeological projects, she came to the conclusion that an ancient xenos race (either Old Ones or Eldar) once inhabited the world and created a font of psychic energy that was destroyed during the Age of Strife, its power spread across the atmosphere and integrating itself into air and fauna. Aware that this discovery would not go well with the rest of the Imperium, but wishing to use the power of the locals and the Space Marines for herself, she offered the then-Chapter Master a deal: aid her on her missions, and she'll conceal the existence of their homeworld to the best of her ability.
With an agreement made, the Inquisitor effectively gained her own army, in her mind, of demi-Grey Knights, and a source of psychic recruits in her network. This secret of hers did not last forever... con't
>>44116730
...as it was eventually discovered through a rival Inquisitor of hers, who had suspected her as potentially dangerous, due to her frequent disappearances beyond known space. He revealed the existence of the world to many of their colleagues, and a harsh debate broke-out among them, a minority in favor of maintaining the secrecy of the world due to its potential uses, and a majority stating that a planet with an unusual number of witches being far too dangerous to continue existing, especially one with a full chapter of Space Marines under similar effects.
Unsurprisingly, a cleansing was approved by the local Lord Inquisitors, leaving those in favor of maintaining the world to attempt to defend it alongside their Space Marine allies, in the hopes of being able to hold out long enough for the possibility of their colleagues understanding their perspective.
This never happened, however, and an invasion occurred that stretched across the relatively-newly-established sub-sector. If this wasn't enough, both the locals as well as the Space Marines themselves began a craving for psychic energy. This addiction of theirs grew to the point of the Space Marines and even the rogue Inquisitor powerbases raiding Inquisitorial strongholds for artifacts to satiate their desire.
As time passed, the war became progressively more one-sided. The Chapter Master and original Inquisitor were approached by an unidentified entity* who gave them an offer: swear themselves to her, and she will end the conflict for them. In better times, the two would never agree to such a deal, but they saw no other alternative to sheer survival and gave the entity their oaths.
A legion of strange Space Marines blew into the sub-sector, carrying with them an unstable Warp Storm that surrounded the sub-sector. Their newfound allies devastated the Imperial forces present as the storm prevented reinforcements from arriving, and lasting for centuries. Con't
>>44116948
When the Warp Storm subsided, the Fell Horde was found to be ruling the sub-sector. Consisting of a legion that forms the combined might of thousands of Space Marines and the powerbases of the rogue Inquisitors, the servants of the Warp gained a new force to fight with.
*The unknown entity is one that is linked to an ally/antagonist I created for a Rogue Trader campaign. Essentially, its the "shadow" of a lesser Eldar goddess that managed to escape the Fall, but being corrupted by it. The font was...

There's some information over at 1d4chan:

Never played it myself, but I like some of the models and am thinking of using these for a future project.
Just finished my first campaign with a dwarf paladin, ask me anything.
How did you fall?

How do we homebrew Black Ogrun into a decent unit?
>>44114494
I thought some people say they're half decent
maybe assault? I dunno
>>44114494
they already are. They do their tasks. It's just that the task is something cryx really doesn't care about.
If you could change one event in history, what would it be?
It could be anything from stopping the extinction of ammonites to getting the last piece of cake.
For me it's one of the three: turning great strike of 1877 into a full fledged revolution. Just how Marx predicted it, the most powerful nation leads a proletarian revolution.
Second: After Cesar death, republican forces manage to win the civil war and maintain status quo.
Third: England decisively wins the hundred years war and manages to keep their hold on French land for at least a hundred years.
Germany wins WW2

Welcome to The Lost Island Quest. Last thread our hero, Alan Rodain, joined the Circle of Mages and met his roommate, Ed. He borrowed some books from the library and picked out his familiar. After spending hours trying to master some of his sorcerous heritage, he went to Eve who gave him a pep talk that helped him master more of his ability.

You stand there in the aftermath of your discovery. Your legs feel energized. You hop from one foot to the other letting all of your new found power settle and balance out. Maybe you should go for a jog or something. Eve stares at you, looking you up and down as she notices some change in your demeanor.
“Well? Did that help at all?” You nod to her. Odd to admit, but it was a combination of that book's insights and her speech that gave you a leg up on mastering some of this. Eve has, in spite of her eccentricity, been an able teacher for you. “Good then. Just...

Good evening, /tg/, and welcome to "Whose Line it is Anyway?", the game where everything's made up and the (experience) points don't matter!
Tonight we're gonna kick things off with a game of "Worlds Worst". Our players know the drill: let's get started.
First, the world's worst… thing that a bard could say when attempting to seduce a villain.
>>44113439
You look way sexier than Drew Carry.
>>44113439
"You're cute when you want to murder me."
>>44113439
"Hello. I'm going to seduce you to the side of Good now."
Take your favorite Race or monster and make them Dull as shit but still interesting.
Can you do it?
>>44113397
>dull, adj.: lacking interest or excitement
>but still interesting.
I'm not sure I can.
>>44113397
>Dull as shit but still interesting
Those are mutually exclusive things.
>>44113397
>Make them shit but still great
Fucking... what?
What would a Space Marine chapter be like if their primarch was Santa Claus?
>>44113350
>ALWAYS JOLLY

Salamanders basically but with frosty shit instead of fire?

Ranging from "You hit the enemy" to "You slice the ogre open from throat to groin. As he cries out in excruciating pain and desperately tries to keep his organs inside of his body, you teleport behind him, kick him in the balls, punch him in the back so hard it shatters his spine and tears his skin, pull out his heart, eat it, teleport in front of him once more and cut him into a million pieces", how graphic are you when describing battles when you're a DM? How do you find the balance between being bland and too detailed?
>>44113141
>How do you find the balance between being bland and too detailed?
By being detailed to the point where it becomes just bland.
Or, when I'm actually on top of things, by generally saying something like "He manages to just barely block your strike but is forced to take a step back" or " You thrust your sword in stomach, and as you pull it out he crumbles to the ground with an expression of agony on his face" or "With a mighty swing you decapitate...

I describe stuff like that for important monsters. You can't do it for everything.
>>44113141
As a DM, I have players explain what they want to do, then interpret it based on how much HP the creature has left.
>100% - Attacks seem to do very little
>about 50% Creature is starting to show wear and tear. Tired, bleeding. etc
>Less than 15% is where mortal wounds start happening. Cutting off digits, severing arteries, poking out eyes. etc.
With live groups I like to let them describe their kills. They're...

So if someone in Shadowrun got turned into data Tron style, would they live? They would technically be a A.I. at that point, and I think A.I.s don't need souls do they?
You're looking for e-ghosts, omae.
>>44112961
Soul is redundant anyway, like the spleen or appendix
>>44112991
Fairly certain those are only A.I. copying people's personality, not literally Tron style A.I.

if yes, i have absolutely no clue how that would work, other than maybe some kind of masked capitalist. sorry.

This is Boruto Quest, a quest set in the universe of Naruto. It is during the generation of Naruto's son, shortly after everyone has graduated from their Genin exam. I haven't kept up with the series beyond the end of the original one, so this one is intended to recapture the feel of that time of Naruto. I will not be incorporating the main show or the Boruto movie's plot into the quest, although some recognizable characters will be present. You play as a 12 year old Genin graduate named Takeshi. You have been assigned a Jounin squad leader named Hanto, and your...
