How does your BBEG even Get an army of goons?
There are some main ones I can think of:
>Is leader of a nation
>Hire mercenaries
>Makes them himself
>Animates them himself
>Allies an evil race
I personally prefer BBEGs to hire mercenaries.
Well the BBEG for the campaign I'm going to run soon is a Hag so she makes a lot of them. Changeling daughters, constructs, aberrations, undead, etc. Aside from that she recruits a bunch of malicious fairies who need only be paid in the promise of being allowed to do horrible things to people.
He's the head of one of the biggest guilds in the hive, he has the money.
New to tabletop gaming here.
which systems has the most broken magic users?
The ones that allow player characters to be magic users.
Ars Magica, not even a competition

>which systems has the most broken magic users?
Broken how? Total power? I'd say Mage: The Awakening or Ars Magica, since it's kind of the point.
Broken in comparison to others due to rules? Pathfinder.
So, I've been putting way too much work into this.
First off comes the core game, and right after I'll upload Chuunibyou: the Arm-Grabbing, the expansion-cum-Player's Guide. I very nearly didn't write it because Japan lacks familiarity for a lot of players, but it was fun to write and there's some stuff I like in there.
As always, feedback is welcome (though we've already gone through "Japanophilia is overly specific" and "the view of fedoras is too caricatured" before), and really, any interest whatsoever is appreciated...

And here's Chuunibyou: the Arm-Grabbing. It's firmly a beta as of now, though it should be perfectly playable - my main concerns are about balance, and that's usually fixable by listening to a bit of feedback. There's a bit of a whopper of a section about Japan in the beginning, but I felt it was necessary to provide context and make it playable for a lot of people.

Hey, awesome, I didn't think you were still working on this. Bump for some good work. One of these days I'll run a playtest, I just have to get my group back together.
>>43965843
Christ, it's always good to know there's someone who likes it. Cheers for the support.

You have to get inside the secretive Magi Coven to discover their secrets, to turn all the fragmented whispers into loud truths and finally giving all your life a meaning. Just after defeating and killing all your chrono-gladiator foes in the arena the Coven started to meditate if you were worthy of their inclusion, you were so close to your objective that you felt as if it were a solid object at the range of your grasping hands. Then the Nox Vox, a group of what seems to be heretic miners, used some drills to breach into the Academy where the Coven reunited and unloaded the...

Shortly after your arrival several torches started getting lit. On top on the Fabicatorium’s roof a young girl, no more than seventeen years old made her appearance, despise her looks and young age she seemed to be the leader of that group. You looked around and saw silhouettes with torches, equipment made from weaponized mining tools or scrap metal and countless of powder grenades and Molotov cocktails.

So has anyone played this? Is it any good?
Recently saw it on kickstarter and I'm very tempted to pledge but I'm a lot more curious about the system than what information is provided.
My group mainly plays Traveller if that'll help describe the transition from that to Wurm.
>>43964855
Never heard of it.
Have you ever read TOTEM, OP? It's a pretty unique system for ice-age games.
>>43964855
Is this related to the Wurm MMORPG?Or is the name just incidental?
>>43964940
It's just a coincidence
>>43964915
I don't beliece so?
Warmth
Motherly Warmth.
So soothing. It is all what you could ask for. If only you would stay here forever. But deep down inside, you knew it wouldn't last. Another cycle awaited you...another failure, pain, misery and-
No. you have to stop. You ought to cherish this peaceful moment while it lasted.
Please read the following pastebin: http://pastebin.com/gCkVdf4t
You always hated this decision you were about to make. Your gender was almost meaningless in your world. Each side of this coin had its Merits and Consequences.
>You are a big boy!
>You are a Lovely girl!
>Smile!

Gender is a problem for people who've already been born!

Cause why not?
Malcador was probably wiser than the emperor but his want of mixing in a few female Primarchs (Matriarchs?) probably would have just made things worse. Imagine a cat fight over Sanguinius or how much worse The lions and Lemon's feuding would be if a chick was spectating
Or Kruz just being creepy.
>>43964571
What if Malcador isthe Emperor's father?
>>43964571
>cat fight over Sanguinius
I think they'd be more upset over how much better his hair is than theirs.
>>43964571
It's pretty clear that Malcador IS the Emperor, guys. The corpse on the throne is Malcador and also the reason why the Emperor hasn't been seen - Emp's was just a very powerful hallucination that Malcador forced on people.
I need a basement full of horrors for an upcoming game of Maid RPG I'm running /tg/.
Can you guys be creative on my behalf and just think of horrible things to be locked inside various rooms? They can be anything from obviously grotesque to subtle and psychological.

/thread
An Immortal maid, starved and half mad with hunger and lack of stimulation, locked and chained in a dark basement room, surrounded with signs and warnings that they are never, ever to be released, and advising not talking to them, not feeding them, not interacting with them etc.
Mess with your players sense of empathy, have them beg and sob and plead... But also for always to keep them on edge, for there to be something unsettling about them.
Have they ever been shown to interact with with any of the chaos gods? Also how big would a WAAAGGH have to be to generate enough energy for them to rip the walls of reality and gits in the material world.
In the End Times Gork and Mork kicked the shit of the chaos gods and forced them to turn away from the east.
>>43964512
Don't bullshit. That never happened.
Gork and Mork are considerably weaker than the Chaos Gods. In fact, Grand Marshal Archaon is more power than them combined.

I'm itching to play another Evo-game, but I've been playing a lot of ARK lately so I wanted to put a little spin on it. You guys know the drill.
How to play:
• Open an image of a species in MS Paint, or your editor of choice
• Make one evolutionary change to that species
• Save as .PNG!
• Post your new species in the thread with a description of what evolution you've added and why.
• Adding approximate size or names is optional, but would be appreciated.
Notes:
• Unless stated explicitly, no species ever goes extinct. Old species can still evolve, even if they're not on the latest "chain"
• Try to make your evolutions gradual and realistic
• About every 12-24 hours I'll be rolling for a Random World Event.
• Have fun
Random event:
•1-20, Global warming, increased global temperatures
•21-40, Global cooling, decreased global temperatures
•41-60, Population boom, plants or animals flourish
•61-80, Mass extinction, plants or animals roll to survive
•81-99, Super mass extinction, everything rolls to survive
•100, Total global extinction. /Thread
The Setting:
The planet is most similar to Earth during the late Cretaceous Period. A recent cataclysmic cosmic event has left most of the planet barren and devoid of life. Solar radiation bombarded the planet, irradiating the seas and destroying almost all of the plant and animal life in and the water and on dry land. More than 99.9% of all the water on the planet had become uninhabitable and undrinkable for thousands and thousand of years to come (24 hour real time.) What little safe water there is has become extremely precious. Only six unique species survived the cataclysmic event: a small moss-like organism, a large fern-like organism, and four similar reptile-like organisms from the same order.
You now have to make a campaign based on BLAME!, what system do you use and what would be the central themes/activities of the sessions?
I'd use the BLAM! system and my campaign would be an exploration sandbox and horror survival. Basically DayZ in The City and robutts.
I'd use Amber Diceless and the central theme would be wandering around vast, empty hellscapes and riding the tram for like 800 years.

What is this? Google brings up nothing.
Has anyone read this yet?

Trust me, I'd be the first one to shut that shit down. Is it any different to an Orc or Dwarf thread? Probably yes, in places, but a PC race is a PC race, and it shouldn't matter if it's a giant reptile person, a living piece of rock or a human (who are frankly boring to play if not for the many classes, like wizards). If you want to keep complaining, do...

"Ah... the sweet smell of the countryside air" You take a big breathe to savor the crisp, fresh air as you open the window to your train.
It's been a long time since you've been to your uncle's house. You remember being over their house almost all the time when you were a child, Even playing with your cousin all the time. "What was his name again?..." Try as you might, you just could not remember his name. "I wonder what he is doing now..." You think to yourself.
It wasn't until you moved to the city because of...

We have to rob this train. She'd only be a liability.
Rolled 20 (1d20)
>>43963340
I'd say ignore her and have a "main character doing completely nothing quest", but I won't do that
also we can get some info on our protagonist, so my choice is to
>[x] Introduce ourself
Walking over to the empty seat beside her you stick out your hand. "Yo! How are you?" You give her a friendly smile. "The train is pretty empty huh..." You try and make conversation with her but she ignores you. Little by little you start to feel a bit pressured. Then you stick out your hand and try and introduce yourself. "My name is Ichika."
To your horror, she just looks at you with what seems to be disgust. Then she turns her head away while saying "Hmmpph!" You start to feel rejected. The first thing you felt was frustration....

Hey warbros, starting my first Black Crusade campaign with some buds tomorrow, we're all Plague marines of Nurgle. What do apart from the obvious?
Summon demons with jaunty, christmas-y carols and lots of dancing. Also, compete against each-other to do the most grossest possible thing to the cleanest/purest possible people/animals/buildings/etc. Have fun, with the knowledge that everything that happens will eventually be undone, and that every achievement will lose meaning as the centuries grind on.
If you can't beat entropy, join it.
