You think this is real?
I kind of don't on the basis that Wizards hates RW so they never make good cards for it since Lighting Helix.

yeah no. it would be more believable if it's pay 4.

It seems shitty enough to be real.
Why is reading about the 40k universe so comfy, /tg/?
Before bed I always think about 40k. I think about all the space marine chapters and legions prior to them conquering the galaxy in the name of the Emperor.
Puts me to sleep so easily.
The grim darkness and endless fighting reminds us of our own world.
>>43783597
Personally it fills me with hope about how we will march from earth and take over massive amounts of space.
What if Square Enix bought out Games Workshop and rebooted Warhammer 40k?
The lore would somehow become more coherent and consistent within the setting.
The only sacrifice would be that all the primarchs would end up with terrible-looking haircuts, but given that Leman Russ is still rocking the Skrillex cut, that might actually be an improvement.
Tau get pushed for the home market.

More waifu material and sisters would be pushed as on of the biggest factions. You could also by these large hug pillow with sisters, shadowsun and whatnot.

it was arrogant enough to purposely leave evidence
such a level of arrogance is even beyond you

[REMOVE] Over-chan
I wince as Theresa squeezes my hand EXTREMELY tightly. She's just staring at that calling card that I found, and she does not look in any way pleased about it.
"I can't fucking believe that he actually had CARDS printed out," Theresa says through clenched teeth. "Of all the arrogant, pompous..."
For a second it looks like she's about to crumple the card into a ball, but instead she lets the hand she's holding it in drop limp to her side.
"Hey," I say with forced cheerfulness. "At least now we have a...

What do you do about flakes?
I try to fill the hole in the group with a new player, repeating the process as many times as necessary. Even then he game usually falls apart by session 3.
>>43782685
What's worse is when the guy driving the plot flakes.
And then you basically wind up not having a session.

Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

Is that an official map of Nexus? What's with that wyld zone inside the walls in the southeast section?
I could certainly use a better map for Great Forks than the ones that I know exist. I got to spend a few hours earlier groaning to myself as I gave my players directions based on where I imagined they were in the city only for them to completely fuck them up, because they didn't have a map to reference.
I just let them be right, anyways, but it screwed up my mental image of the scene when the guy who I said would be arriving from north-west said he came from the north-east.
>>43782805
It's not official, but it's based on an official map from 2e. The Wyld Zone is the result of someone using an artifact or sorcery or something to throw the area into the Wyld, iirc.
Basically, it's a mini-Bordermarch area where the capital district used to be.

Ah, what a lovely day it is down here in the depths, the cold chill of the caverns sinks into the bones and slowly kills you like a lover with a knife to your throat, or I imagine so anyways. Never had one, perhaps I'm fortunate in that regard. Well I'm fortunate in many ways, I was born in the largest city of my kind, Granthabur. Or as I heard the surfacers call it, the city of drow, simple name for simple people I suppose. It actually means seaside in our old tongue or some old tongue, not really sure since it's...

You are Irue Valen, blood heir to House Valen, and you have not had a good day. First one of your Testament got taken into a town that you are becoming increasingly convinced exists purely to inconvenience you, then a series of unfortunate decisions coincided with a cave in which left you trapped within a mineshaft and separated from your last Testament and the captain of your peasant knights... If they were even still alive. Unfortunately, your shadow seems to believe that that if any of them survived it would be Ari, simply because that forsaken fragment had been given orders...

You pass the immobile sculpture of the butler from before, and ascend the frozen stairwell as your footsteps echo into the long empty halls. Eventually the stairs lead you past the monumental window of frosted glass, onto the second floor; An expansive hall covered in frost with towering pillars dotting the path, a prideful display of flags hosting the emblazoned image of a rose and sword hanging stiffly from their heights. With this sight alone, you know you've found the Coat of Arms that you had nominally been looking for.
Part of you wondered if maybe this was...

would you be interested in playing in this setting or is it too magical realm?
>>43782322
It was maximum magical realm by the second line. It's gone from magical realm to just pathetic cringe bait after that.
People would just leave.
I'd play as an adventurer venturing into the empty lands to get rid of her though. Or at leas that's the theory. I'd totally dick the lich queen.

to where? the land is basically Australia island size

you could be also be the father or brother to a taken girl
or a girl that just turned ripe
or a Justicar that remembers the old times
maybe one of the Queens daughters
You heard it guys, hardcore fluffy is my goal. I currently have 3 x 10 man tac squads w/ flamer, multi melta, and combi flamer. Any points value lower than 2000/1750 ish.
Cheers for any advice.
Dreadnoughts, dreadnoughts, and an ironclad talon.
>>43782221
I know no bikes/flyers/termie captains but im fairly rusty on what else to take - been out of the game for 3 years. What happened to metal bawxes spam?
I have 2 dreadnoughts & 1 ironclad around too so if I can put those in that would be a plus.

The Salamanders follow the Codex Astartes, but their doctrines are also strongly influenced by the Promethean Cult of Nocturne, an accepted variant of the Imperial Cult, which places a high regard on self-reliance, self-sacrifice, and loyalty to each other as well as to the Emperor. The hammer and the fire are both important symbols of the Cult, and the Chapter makes widespread use of Flamers, Meltaguns, and Thunder Hammers in their armoury. As one can imagine, this preference for Flamers and Meltas leads to...

Why is the concept of a Paladin falling so sought after on /tg/? I find it more interesting for a normal or even a morally dubious person trying to better themselves and do what's right than for a knight with god magic to run around "smiting evil".
>>43782088
It's a vocal minority who have strange ideas about morality and never really grew up. It's not "sought after" or even particularly common if you play with adults.
Also, conflicted paladins with dark pasts are more interesting than the ones who grew up perfect.
Edgelords hate fun, basically
>>43782088
Honestly, if I GMed for someone who wanted to be a righteous hero of justice, I would put them in scenarios where they would be likely to fall (or die for their morals), since it wouldn't really feel like it meant anything if it was easy.
I'd leave a way out though since GM killing someone just for playing their character without any appropriate buildup is dumb. If the other PC's put them in that position because the evil artifact seemed like some great loot though, anything goes, that's...

- and you flinch as another one of those goddamn void shark seems to come out of nowhere, intercepting the doomed marine with the unstoppable inertia of a truck running down a small foal. Blindsided and taken off-guard, Doomgirl disappears half into the void shark's mouth, and both of them disappears over the edge of the asteroid.

I just really want to punch someone's teeth out again.
Since the Forces of Chaos are powered each by their respective God, which given their nature essentially boosts one aspect of their emotional state, then why doesn't the Imperium simply counters that emotional state buff with massive ammounts of drugs to nulify that effect?
If raging Khornates are attacking, why don't they carpet bomb the entire world with tranquilizer smoke or burn an entire field of weed in their wake, essentially making them chill again?

Real talk: A lot of the supposed humor of CaH comes from the shock value of the cards you draw, and the cards you play. You pick up "Mecha Hitler" and you kind of think, "hah, that's pretty weird. Nobody's going to see this one coming." And you get a little chuckle from thinking about what a non sequitir it'll be when somebody asks "What is the most delicious?" and you answer Mecha Hitler.
There's two problems with this. One, obviously, is that the game runs out of steam. The more times you play it, the less funny it gets. But the second problem is that the decks seem to be just brimming with references that nobody at the table understands. Or only half the players understand. Or everybody except the person with the black card understands. You could read every card in the game and take out all the ones that are stupid, but then you're ruining that shock value for yourself! And the cards that nobody understands are going to be different depending on who you play with, so there's no good answer here.
If you've ever drawn a card and been like, "What even is this? Do I ask the table what this is? Then I'd be giving away what card I have..." Then you know how stupid this is. Or if you've flipped over four cards and one of them means nothing to you, but one player is trying to explain how it totally makes sense if you've ever seen that movie or whatever, then you know how it fucks the rules up.

That's pretty much the problem for me. It's fun the first time, but meh.
