It's 2015, but the Internet was never invented. More specifically, there is no civilian network of personal computers.
How did this come to pass? What is this world like compared to our own? As thanks for participating, have a Chinese sunrise.

How would it come to pass? Cold War never ended, it remained military tech for communication.
As to how it compares, probably similar to Fallout but with a lowered tech level

No furries, for one.
In the duchy of Starfall, there is a forest, old and nameless.
In the forest there is a town, Glen, whose name is much, much older than the town, yet not nearly so old as the forest.
And in Glen is the Dungeon.
There is no other name for it, though academics snap and snarl at the inaccuracy of it. The Dungeon is ancient, and vast, and ever-changing. It spans miles beneath the earth, in labyrinths and caverns, with rivers, cities, and would-be nations within its depths. Ever since humanoids discovered the Dungeon they have used it as a dumping ground for...

Proxies. What do you guys think of them? In casual, should you allow proxies in your deck? Are there limits?
Personally, I'm debating bringing up proxies. I have two BW EDH decks, but I don't want to buy a second copy of two or three cards that are already in one deck. Would you allow someone to proxy a card that, except for finding/changing sleeves/shuffling, they have?
What about cards that they just don't own, but might in the future?
>>43890144
In my EDH playgroup you are allowed to proxy any card you already own as many times as you want.
So for example I can run Gaea's Cradle in all my (green) EDH decks because I own one.
We don't allow proxies you don't own because it ends up with one guy bringing a black deck with Nether Void, Chains of Mephistopheles, Tabernacle and The Abyss.
>>43890387
Also, a guy who got his entire EDH collection stolen has been playing proxied versions of his decks for a few months now, gradually removing proxies as he adds cards to his deck. Any time he wants to add a new card to his deck he has to take out a proxy.

Ayla notices that you are distracted from watching the succubi fighting in the arena and pouts while pressing herself against you. She is still trying t extract an answer from you regarding how her pregnancy should progress. Apparently she’s already grown bored of being pregnant since it limits what she can do and she wants to have the baby now, but only if you are alright with it.
“If you want to go ahead, but you’ll miss out on the whole experience,” you look over and tell Ayla.
“psh! Everyone else says it’s annoying so I’ll skip it all,”...

Ongoing special project
>Final reconstruction - Hestia is loathe to leave a job half done, so she is finishing up rebuilding the city above to her standards. Several hundred million administration troops have returned to the city. Directors Burgess and Snow are coordinating their deployment with Hestia, the familiar faces have a slight calming effect among the population. 0.003% complete.
“Master~” Ayla calls out to you, “ready? 3 – 2 – 1 – Go! ”
She suddenly plunges her hand into her abdomen and rips out a glowing orb of mana. Then she starts giggling.
“I knew that would work, isn’t that much easier master?” Ayla questions you while cradling the mass of power in her arms. To your senses it seems like a ball of living mana, much like Ayla herself, but less stable.
That slowly starts to change though as you see the magic start to collapse into the form of a baby, a beautiful little –

So how do we feel about the upcoming death of slaanesh that GW's going to be doing. theyve not got any recognition and a lot of rumours about the death of slaanesh but it seems to be true.
also general wh thread
>>43889872
Slaanesh a shit, always has been a shit and thankfully wont be a shit any longer because they wont exist any more.
Where is slaanesh going in the lore? I heard they're trying to replace them with the horned rat and I have a pretty good hypothesis as to what actually happened.
I for one am alright with this turn of events.
How do I incorporate a Hotline Miami vibe into a campaign?
>>43889838
Let your players wear animal masks of their choosing and play the HM theme in the background.
Also,every time a player dies ingame you beat him to death with a blunt object.
>>43889838
Whats the system/genre?
>>43889838
If your players are onboard for unreliable narration, I'd suggest that. It'll go along way if you call roleplay hitmen too coked out to trust their own eyes.

After half hour of flying you reach your destination. This is the first time you are attending a professional Quidditch match and this is the first time you see a real stadium. You follow Tim and his father. Tim has a big Wales hat on his head, a green hat with a red dragon roaring around. You see mostly Wales fans but there are a few people with Syrian flags as well.
The stadium is very nice and big. You are impressed. You can't imagine how it would feel to play here as a player infront of such a big crowd, even though the stadium is not full it is still impressive...

The game continues for another half hour as Wales starts to play more aggressively and they are ahead of the Syria by 50 points.
You and Tim get some snacks while watching the game. They are called Snake Crackers as they look like live small worms but when you eat them they crumble in your mouth and have a salty taste. You like it.
Then something goes wrong.
You hear a big explosion and suddenly all the lights of the stadium goes black. You can't see much, the sky is almost dark. You hear...

So, /tg/, when you create your settings, what do you make first? The countries? The rules? The religions?
>>43889335
A single village or town, usually. figure out everything that I want in it, then create a world around it that makes sense. usually I'll end up going back into that town and changing things later, but somehow it feels more natural to me than starting with something abstract
Start Dumb Simple OP
"In a World where _____, there's one _____ that can ______"
Ex: In a world where Magic causes gayness, there's one gay man who can stop the faggotry forever.
The waifu/husbando races.

I'm going to use a DnD-esque holiday game for some people, and I need help with the setting. Pic related is a WIP map, most of the world is going to be taiga, tundra, frozen desert etc.
What should I call the places? The only one I got in mind right now is a town called St. Nicholas, but there's going to be more
What gods, creatures and people dwell on this world? Keep in mind that everything is cold as fuck
Also any other suggestions are really appreciated.
>>43888888
Holy shit these hexes(?) should be a sign of goodluck
>>43888902
It's notable, sure. But it doesn't make me any better at coming up with names. My best technique involves modifying captchas.

Good thread
What's that, Skippy? You want another story?
Hear that, Skippy? That's the sound of...my power drill being unpowered. How unfortunate.
Oh well, since I can't get rid of you, I might as well accomodate you with one, and it's even techpriest related. And Violent, too. You like violence, right?
This happened on the very same ship which the whole noble massacre thing happened, then again, I am one of the crew of the Foregone Destruction, so no surprise there. There was actually another massacre, happened two months after we slaughtered half...

Our friend, 9, was of the thought that all Xenostech is to be destroyed immediately, so imagine his shock when he was not only placed in the vicinity of Xenostech, but forced to ignore it, and occasionally even interact with it in a way that isn't destroying it. Not very fun, as you might imagine. However, shotgun persuasion and the promises of archaeotech in the future both add up to be very persuasive. Or so we thought. Well, atleast they didn't openly rebel.
First hint that something was wrong was when a routine check-in had three techpriests missing. 9,...

Okay, the Seneschal going missing. Not exactly a big deal, he's a pitiful drunk, so it's likely he could've stumbled into a corner and cried himself to sleep for the ten thousandth time, but usually he was up awake and reporting in for duty even while soggy and unkempth, but three days passed and there was no sign of him. Not to mention, there usually tends not be a detached hand with the Seneschal's ring just lying around in the lower decks for a deck dreg to find.
Having the Seneschal brutally murdered tends to be a pretty bad thing. Even if he was...

We had six false leads, most of them stowaways, and one being just a butchered corpse. In Hindsight, we probably should've paid more attention to that, but hey, violent murders tend to happen amongst the lower-ranking crew, and we thought we'd be searching for something big and scary, whereas the injuries on the butchered dude came from what we thought was a cleaver.
Howver, where six false leads were given to us, even more were given by mere fact that many of the search parties were killed, and the Servitors destroyed. Blokes who were monitoring the screens...

how did your session this week go?
what happened in your campaign this far?
Just interested in your stories
is anyone here even playing anymore? ;_;
>>43888746
Nobody here has ever played. The storytimes are all people imagining what playing an RPG might be like, in the hopes they'll impress the imagined mass of actual RPG players who they assume browse here, and fit in; they are believed because nobody else has any experience either.
Why did you think that everybody was so focused on white-room charop, That Guy stories where nobody behaves in a realistic human manner, and quest threads?
>>43888880
I know this is a running joke on this board, but I come closer to believing this every damn week.
Who plays this game?
You
I don'tBut I do like magical girls, and the girl in your image looks like one, so give me the details anyway.
Should I?
I mean I was looking for an alternative to MTG cause it's expensive as fuck, but I dunno.
Would you have a problem with a male moon god who is lawful good?
Does he wear a dress?

With the snow piling around you in thick drifts it is, at least, easy to follow in Leon's footsteps. For someone who claimed to know exactly where to find some demons, he's certainly taking a winding, circuitous path to whatever destination he might have in mind. It's almost enough to convince you that he's wandering aimlessly, ducking in and out of random buildings in search of something – anything – that might allow him to claim success.
It's only when you catch up with him...

Shieet usually I wake up an hour from now but I guess I was lucky this time. How's it going Moloch?
So, If a legion of pre heresy thousand sons suddenly showed up and was willing to fight for the imperium. What would the imperium do?\
Don't bother mentioning blood ravens as its never been confirmed but hinted at and a hint is not a confirmation. Hell even alpha legion thinks they own blood ravens.
>>43888081
They get lost in the bureacracy. I assume that they'd eventually be accepted after being vetted, but it could take centuries.
I mean, imagine if Al-Qadea suddenly showed up and went: "We love America! Let us fight for you, Jor Bush!" You'd be startled, suspicious and more than slightly confused.
>>43888096
>Al-Qadea
Considering the amount of warcrimes they've commited when compared to a bunch of people that have just appeared from the great crusades.
The real would would put them on trail, however the imperium needs their ships. tanks, soilders and weapons.
Hey look it's this thread again!
Friendly reminder that in a canon novel written by Graham McNeil, a Ships Captain from the DAoT who was lost in the warp for a millenia returned to the Imperium and attempted to make contact with the locals, possibly share his INCREDIBLE UNIVERSE SHATTERING IRREPLACEABLE TECHNOLOGY with them
He was lynched and killed by a mob.
