>You are a young man named Lloyd from the frozen Northern mountains of Tordo, on the continent of Teege. After a youth spent learning magic, you and your girlfriend spent some time as bandits after your home was destroyed, but have recently taken a chance to escape that life into a legit one... As sellswords, admittedly, but it's better than nothing.

On the way back to Elza, your company crossed paths with two men, one apparently garou and younger, one somewhat older and fully human, with medium-length brown hair and a dulled red coat. Swordsmen, by the looks of it, both of them.
To be more technical, at the time, it was night, you were camped about a day from the city, and you and Ansi were on watch.
"You two here to start trouble?" Ansi says, wary of potential bandits and tired. "Just keep moving, both of you."
"Don't talk to us like that!" The wolf grumbles, snarling.
"H-hey,...

"Look, all of you back off."
The human responds, "but... I wasn't-"
"Listen to him," Ansi says, "we're just getting back from one hell of a mission, and we don't need any trouble."
"You too, Ansi, gods! Two guys just happen by and you assume they're out to rob us?"
"Father, these two have an attitude," the (half?) Garou says.
The father shakes his head. "Romulus, this is..." He turns towards...

Good evening/morning/afterlunch/wherever it is you are, /tg/.
So here's the situation: my playgroup comprises the gamut of "I want to create a flufftastic character with really cool social interactions and RP!" to "I want to be the biggest badass who ever lived and I will munchkin the system until I do so."
I need a system that straddles the line between mechanical and narrativist; something which blends dice-rolling and RP. We've tried Savage Worlds, the powergamer broke it almost immediately. We've tried FATE, I can't get...

i liked Exalted's flair for "crunchy as shit yet rewards players actually roleplaying"
plus there's actually statistic values applied to things characters care for! so you can really turn battle tides, either arguments or fights, by pinning said values.
Threatening a man's wife is a great way to invoke a feeling of hatred toward you that will blind their ability to act rationally, for example.
Or, as a good liar, you can imply someone means his wife ill harm and must...

bonus round: the default power scale for every single player Exalted is "the absolute biggest baddest motherfucker this side of the continent, utterly unmatched in skill in what they're good at" AT LEVEL 1
it's a game where you cruise through all challenges until something really fucking legendary appears. That might be the one time you fail.
So your munchkin players will be so gratified in their ability to destroy entire armies in fair combat that they probably won't even...

With Savage Worlds, it's normally not that difficult to circumvent a power gamer's min-maxing. Aside from not making everything about direct combat, if somebody is strong in melee, you have a bunch of people shoot at him (where you can't just build up your parry to protect you; you can even have some enemies take a round to aim if necessary, or blindside him with unexpected area effect attacks) and just generally use tactics against him in particular (since it should be obvious that he's the real...

How much power should a "community manager" have?
>>43796766
Depends entirely on the needs and attitudes of the community he manages.
>>43796766
All of it.

>US president
>power
I don't think you understand how much of a quagmire that system is.
What's /tg/'s opinion on R. A. Salvatore? I remember really liking his books when I was 12, but I doubt I have the attention span for them these days.
>>43796532
Passably good fantasy fiction. Better if you like DND, worse if you hate drow. Some highpoints, some lowpoints. Overall slightly above average but you might want to avoid the barbarian in hell drama.
>>43796532
Mixed feeling on my part.
Liked them for the most part when I was a kid, now get slightly pissed at them for being what so many players have copied to make characters.
>>43796579
Oh shit barbarian in hell part was godawful.
The books about assassin in some desert city or something were cool.

Good evening, Imperial denizens.
May I interest you in some purity seals? They are guaranteed to work. If not, you get a refund. Promised.
>>43796283
I take 10!
>>43796340
Most excellent! You will not regret your purchase, rest assured!
Previously, a journey through the swamps and getting kicked around a bit. Continuing on directly from last post.

You hold back a groan as Hiss pats you on the head in what could be construed as a patronizing fashion. She probably doesn’t mean it though. Hiss doesn’t mean a lot of things. Your gut still hurts.
Aashenpreet stays back, observing this with a mixture of confusion and worry.
“Is it wise to antagonize the person who holds all your wishes, Hiss?”
“It’s okay, Cennen loves me and he knows that even if I get a little mad and carried away, I don’t really mean it.”
She helps you to your...

Tell her that the physical abuse seriously has to stop. It's time to really stand up for ourselves here.

Well met again teegee. I come to you for a very specific reason. I draw, /tg/, drawing is my life, quite literally. And I of course am a not-quite-elegan/tg/entleman, or I wouldn't be here. So those things happen to mesh in a very specific way: you think, I draw. It is easy, really: I will, in the next post, give you what we call a "skeleton" (not that kind) and you will tell me what to do of it. Of course, as long as it is /tg/ related. Elf ears, tails, horns, armor of all kinds, a giant d20, a meltagun, robe and wizard hat, all goes. For you it is a test of...

And here is said skeleton. Blank canvas all for you, /tg/. What will it be?
>>43795769
Male
>>43795789
Forgive me but no males this time. When I tried male character we didn't reach the end, while it always works on females. Besides I have this one ready and it is a fucking 30cm x 20 too. No bully, pls.
>you will never be a loyal slave serving the astartes warrior gods onboard a strike cruiser or a battle barge
Why even live?
>>43795333
I think that the status of the normal people aboard Space Marine ships and planets should be expanded upon.
Like the Iron Hands just use servitors, the Black Templars have zealot slaves, the Ultramarines have a mix of servitors/guardsmen with some sort of Ultramar flare.
Fuck, now I want a Roman/Byzantine themed Guardsmen army as the garrison of Ultramar.
>>43795535
I'm currently rereading the Night Lords Omnibus and the segments describing the everyday life of the slaves on the Covenant are just pure crack.
>>43795614
Yeah, but that's a Night Lords ship, ain't it?
Can't imagine it'd be too great.
Post your current character, post their theme song, then tell us about them.

Ace Vanderly, ace pilot of the Ace Squadron, a true American hero and an upstanding citizen of the glorious nation of United States of America. A fighter for right, just and freedom.
He's also a selfish prick, but he doesn't know it himself.

My Rogue Traders theme song is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQeud5on3mY
He's basically a Mexican General-turned-businessman with the Machismo turned up to 11, who was forced to become a Rogue Trader because of rivals vying for Lord Commander of his homeworld Guard regiments, and now he goes out of his way to fuck with the guy who removed him from the picture (who is now Lord Commander) by fucking him over at every possible time while still making his homeworld and himself wealthy, and banging...
