For extra fun, you can make almost any of these Alphas (aside from the Mooks since that would increase their health grade)

Still need to finish the Ethereals. You could substitute in a mind flayer/'brain fiend' to similar effect, though.

Harvey gives one of the pans on the stove a shake, shuffling about the cut onions within. “You were up early,” he comments, setting down the pan and beginning to turn around to look at you.

“Harv!” Cass grabs his shoulder with a hand, stopping him just short of knocking all the cookery aside with his wings.

Your sort-of brother recognizes the narrowly averted catastrophe with a look of shock, but he quickly hides his embarrassment behind a pro-level poker face.

“I can literally feel you freaking out inside,” you tell Harvey to his nonchalant face. “Joke’s on you.”

Cassandra smiles. “You’re just in time for lunch,” she says. “Dad’s out in the back working on the hamburgers.”

You suck down the spit already pooling in your mouth. Food’s probably an important component of not stressing out tonight.

But then there’s the whole thing about having to tell Isaac and Cass about your bold, and possibly reckless plans. Not to mention you didn’t think everybody’d be here just yet, with Wolfgang coming over. You didn’t want this to be a whole thing, you wanted quiet.

>>43799514

Not to mention, you’ve mostly kept Wolf to yourself for the duration of your relationship, because it’s kind of weird being around the snake-tongued guy you want to make out with, while simultaneously being around your family people. Also your dad person scares the crap out of him, so Wolf’s kind of on the same page as you? (+3 Stress: 35)

Words draw you out of your brain space.

“What’s up kiddo?” Cassandra asks you, wiping her hands off on a towel. “You look like you’re freaking out about something.”

Stupid Cassandra and her stupid angel telepathy.

Of course, there’s a lot worth freaking out over, you could throw one of those excuses under the bus easy. Like the fact the Yellow King served you an eviction notice. Or that some Nazi lady who knew your dad might be working with him. Or that it’s not just Sulkrasph, but a sparsely described Cadwynn guy who wants you dead.

Or you could just throw Wolf under the bus instead. But that kind of feels like throwing yourself under the bus too.

> Chill, Cass. You’re the one always freaking out about whether or not I’m freaking out.
>Nothing much. Just the fact a million people want to kill me right now.
>Blame the Nazi woman.
>Do we have enough stuff for one more person? Cause I got somebody coming over.
>I’m just really really busy today. Plans and whatever. Probably going to eat and run, if that’s okay.
>Well you see, the thing is, like, I’m kind of doing this thing tonight, but Borya’s going to help, so it’s not going to be that bad.
>Other (?)

Good to have you back, Languid, love this quest.

This >>43799413

Doubly so for something as simple as 'roll a dice, compare to number'.

The full explanation is as follows.

Basically, art and exact text may be copywritten, but the rules can be paraphrased and used freely.

And, considering that the DC system was part of the Open Game License, you're free to use the exact text involved in describing it.

I destroy them for being unlawful tools of a heathen god. Re-purpose the metal into holy symbols. Offer the prfits as a donation to the local orphanage in order to gain access. detect evil and smite any offenders to the goddess. take back donation as "protection tax". thank godess of law for making this all perfectly legal

Ultramarines, as long as nobody is a Minotaur or Space Wolf. Blood Angels, Salamanders, otherwise.

>edgy power gamer spergbasket

Carcharodons, Raptors, Flesh Tearers, Iron Hands

>a trouble making wildcard

Space Wolves, Black Templars, Dark Angels, Flesh Tearers, Novamarines (if you plan on encountering xenos outside of combat), Blood Ravens, Carcharodons.

> a well rounded ttrpg player that enjoys every aspect.

Ultramarines

Look up each chapter's "flaw" table and see what they are like. For example, Novamarines are typical lawful good paladins, but their racism and prejudice grows with their flaw, eventually becoming unable to contain their anger when facing hated alien enemies, so they will charge an alien diplomat and drag the party into a combat they could have avoided. Carcharodons are silent, bloody shark-like killers who often do nothing outside of combat, like a shark does. Their flaw is they eventually become unable to talk at all. Blood Angels are angelic, golden Adonises but risk succumbing to a bloodthirst that turns them insane, etc.

A little more information:
We all usually play dnd,
>happy to be there usually plays monks or fighters
>sperg usually plays rangers /rogues
>wildcard usually plays monks or easily exploited classes
>well rounded, good at everything, most accustomed to anti-paladin/ healbot

Its humanity after they won science.

>>43798602

It was cool. And fun. But it came from a company in the final throes of death, and was thus also 1) expensive and 2) sloppy in execution.

The rules are free if you can find em online. The miniatures are still around on eBay and miniatures market.

Currently my Karmans play in Stargrunt II, and I'm trying to figure out how to make them work in 40k (counts as tau?)

call me old-fashioned, but wouldnt it be more effective to work out what the purpose and role of a dungeon is, before randomly slapping rooms into a grid?

Time Travel gets complicated. Fast. Really fast.

>>43797912
Make it up as you go along. Throw in time zombies, unknowable gods that see backwards and forwards in time and general fuckery to make it sure to the players that they don't know it works, have no hope of finding out how it works and their characters should be glad they have no idea how it works.
Then when they point out that two time travel events happened when they contradict each other, stroke your DM (neck)beard and go "Yes.. that is interesting, isn't it?"
Then try to work it into the plot later on somehow so they feel smart for noticing your "hint". My advice? Shapeshifters.

Time travel works. Don't think about, in fact it probably only works because people don't think about it.
By following that rule it allows me to include all the "fun" bits of time travel without getting super bogged down in the "how".

One of these days I will have a rigger assemble a contraption.

>>43797572
pre or post books?

because if pre, while alot of things happen, post books would have the world go to hell and a hand basket

So if I remember right, only certain metals (Or just godly materials? I remember something about a giant stabbing a serpent with a tree or something) are able to harm monsters, and even then those materials are really rare.

So I imagine a lot of panic from the normies as all these "ghost monsters" appear from nowhere being all immune to bullets and cricket bats, while the monsters just do whatever since they're literally unstoppable.

>>43797710
Couldn't they already do that anyway? Mist only affects humies if I remember right.

worlds predictions anyone?
