Oh, a new thread's been made. How do I delete the one I made?

So are we running through the wastes or playing a spanish guitar?

If someone tells me how to delete the wastes one we can play Spanish guitar.

Literally the worst possible marine list you could make. Even a bunch of vanguard veterans and assault marines would be better.
Hello sweet child, he who chose the light rather than the darkness. One who thought the world would bend to their will, that the reeds of a thousand nations would sway in the storm of your passing. Thousands of men and as many years have venerated your name as the bringer of the torch of enlightenment. From atop the summit of the world you look down upon your creation, and find that it is good. Before you a single people, a single purpose, a single sharpened blade of society reaching for the throat of that which holds your tomorrow. The final secrets may soon be within your...

Looking up, Eobard stared at his face in the mirror, too blurry to actually see many details. A wadded up sleeve scrubbed it, trying to sharpen the lumpy features into something discernable. Grey.
His eyes were grey.

> Aesthete do not exist as a single culture, instead an ideal. Unlike their fellows they do not seek to emulate humanity, and change themselves into new forms. Some go so far as to render themselves incapable of movement, planting their feet in the ground and swaying in the wind. One can normally find at least one Aesthete in the city, marked by their delicate beauty.

I want to play a wrestling tabletop. As in with a legit wrestling federation, fighting for titles, making gimmicks, interviewsfighting demons and aliens to defend humanitythe whole shebang.
Any system you guys would recommend? Perhaps an established group I should seek out?
I hate to break it to you but I don't think there's a game for this specific concept. I'd recommend a light-hearted generic superheroes system, like Mutants and Masterminds.
I hope you end up doing this and having a blast, because that sounds like a badass campaign.

I posted some FAQ comments on the tail end of the last thread which I'm pretty sure got missed, so here's a repost.
Not bad, I can think of a few areas that need work.
- Emphasise near the beginning that Crusade Legions is a different army from 40K Marines in a similar way to different non-Codex chapters, or the two types of Eldar. Certain models can be exchanged between these similar and related groups but the majority should keep in their own lists. This needs spearheading into the naive...

- "But I don't like Forgeworld" should be it's own question, and the answer should be tough. Forgeworld is the reason why everything about 30K is good - models, rules for fun, rules for balance, fluff, presentation, tone - and the reason why many of us are here instead of 40K. If you're interested in the Horus Heresy as just another avenue of 40K, you'll have to adapt, and that includes stuff like prices. Forgeworld is crucial to 30K and if your first reaction is "Ugh but why",...

>>43831422
Make the first handful of sessions really good. Get everyone's hopes up, appear dedicated and like you intend to see the game through to the end. Then start cancelling sessions. Run less and less often. Eventually just leave the players hanging and stop running entirely.

Alright, you little shits, wake up. I don't care if you've still got cryotube shakes, it's time to get to work. The powers-that-be are paying you good credits to scout this system, and you're going to earn it or I'm throwing you out the airlock. It's not like it's hard work, the computers do all the heavy lifting.
Somebody get over to the sensor board. The ship picked up a planet of some kind near here. First we need to figure out how big the bitch is.
You, over there by the sensor board! Put dice+2d6+-2 in the Options field.
Rolled 1, 4 - 2 = 3 (2d6 - 2)
yes sir
Rolled 1, 2 + 2 = 5 (2d6 + 2)

Fixed

About fucking time they fixed that glitch. A month ago it wouldn't have shown the total output!
Oh, what the fuck- is that a 3? This piece of shit "PLANET" is probably no bigger than Mercury. Surface gravity approximately one-quarter Earth standard... are you shitting me? Less than five thousand kilometers diameter. Great, we found a fucking space rock.
Well, we're here to scout this piece of shit, let's do it. I need an atmosphere scan. Command code is dice+2d6-4.
Since dice pools in ORE games are capped at 10 dice normally, what kind of feats do people with truly insane bonuses perform?
>>43830601
Depends on which ORE you mean.
Wild Talents is just all around insane with custom power building and Better Angels comes close with it's over the top super villiany.
Reign has it's magic and martial paths/esoteric disciplines which do all sorts of crazy stuff.
Monsters and Other Childish Things has it's monsters.
A Dirty World is very not insane but it's a detective noir thing so not made for insane anyway.
Even sticking to pretty generic ORE rules and sort of abillity that...

I meant in regards to dice economy. If we have Mr. Demigod who has 20 dice on an action from his pile of bonuses, how does he burn through the 10 dice that he can't roll in the pool? Even he can only perform at most five simultaneous actions(if he gets five pairs).
>>43831891
Penalties subtract form extra dice first, so someone with a pool of twenty dice can perform at full capacity under some truly insane conditions.
Hi there, /tg/. Long time reader, rookie commenter. I have my first real That Guy story, and I want to share it. It's kind of weak compared to the greats, but it's just so fucking absurd I need to share it before I go insane.
Give me a moment to type everything up, and I'll tell you the whole thing.
For context, it's a high-powered supers game where the player characters and all other supers are average schmoes who are suddenly given the chance to slowly accrue godlike power, but none of them have any idea what to do with it. This will become relevant soon.
I killed a player character tonight.

That wasn't what killed him.
The alien symbiote makes him tough as nails.
He broke most of his bones and spent several hours unconscious trying not to die.
The symbiote healed him up, and he eventually managed to teleport away and he started recovering at abnormal speed because of his symbiote.
So today he declared he "wanted to teleport to the turtle the elephants that carry the world stand on."
And I was like "You know this is Earth, right?"
Yes, he assured me, he did.
"You know that the Earth isn't on elephants or turtles,...

I made it clear in previous sessions that while this setting has the capability to be fun and goofy, it is ultimately a game of childish and capricious gods who have no idea what they're doing, and awful horrible no good very bad things will happen around them and to them, and if they intentionally make fucking terrible choices, those awful horrible no good very bad things will happen right the fuck to them extremely hard.
Am I the asshole here?
So say you were given the ability to create any object you can imagine. The catch is that the moment the object is seen, heard, or touched, it vanishes in its entirety.
The only particular use I can think of for this ability is traps. Use a piece of illusory string as a detonator. Once it's observed, it stops holding in the spring. Throw down a cloth over an illusory bridge. Once someone steps on it, they touch the bridge (even through the cloth, it would still require some tactile feedback), which demanifests immediately.
Can you think of any other uses for...

some kind of battery with infinite energy
boom handheld world destroyer
>>43830535
If it explodes, the moment you heard or felt the explosion, the matter/energy of that explosion would cease to exist.
Though using it as a fuel cell might work so long as the energy were contained and transformed first... explosive energy would be out, but contained, steady stream power might work.
>>43830484
Wait, so it's when people touch it, or when anything touches it?
Couldn't I create an engine that combusts infinitely and never produces any waste product and use it to instantly solve a huge amount of problems for humanity?

You're really not so certain about all of this.

For all that's wrong with her, you're reasonably confident she won't start any shit. If anything, you're more worried about Leigh making your opinions very clear.

Do characters in your setting always use swords or do they use morning stars or axes. when and why
I usually see morning stars and maces being used by clerics and warrior priests in fantasy settings. The whole "it's okay if I murder people so long as I'm not using a sharp weapon" thing that originated in the crusades seems to be a pretty common trope in fantasy settings.
Maces are common as long as they aren't gimped by the ruleset
>>43829975
wait that is a thing. i just thought it was because a mace is simple to use compared to a sword
