What, exactly, was this guy's hurry?
Look at it this way: You have countless planets out in the black with humans still on them from the glory days. You've decided that it's your right and duty to reunite all of humanity into a glorious, intergalactic empire.
All good so far.
You have made an alliance with techno-wizards and brought a goodly number of nearby planets into your empire. Your military might is so unmatched that you have yet to encounter a civilization that can hold out against your hundreds of billions of troops and genetically enhanced murder-machines. There is NO existential threat to your race other than distant, magical gods that you have decided not to tell anyone about ever because problems go away if you don't talk about them.
You are immortal. Your murderhobos live for centuries. Your population's ability to bump uglies is still working just fine. Your might can only grow.
Now, why the living hell was he in such a damn rush?
To get the Primarchs back?
They're immortal supermen designed to be more powerful than pretty much any foe in the galaxy, they can probably handle their shit regardless of how long you take to show. Or, if they're really that big a priority, put the damn Crusade on hold and devote a few centuries to search and rescue.
Was he afraid that the human populations outside the empire would die or be dominated by xenos?
It's been several thousand years, the worst has basically happened for them. And besides, we regularly see that any planet that isn't perfect for integration is just massacred and re-colonized.
TL;DR
Why did the Emperor have a self imposed time table/limit on his Crusade? An immortal being has zero reason to be impatient, especially after thousands of years of life.
>>43698701
yes
Did he know about the Tyranids?
>>43699539
AFAIK nobody did at that point except maybe the Silent King. Remember the main reason they came to the galaxy is the Astronomicon acting as a beacon to them as well as the astropaths.
>>43698701
>To get the Primarchs back?
Yes.
>They're immortal supermen designed to be more powerful than pretty much any foe in the galaxy, they can probably handle their shit regardless of how long you take to show.
No. A lot of the problems came from the planets they were raised on. Shit, look at Angron. What should've been the ruler of the planet was turned into a bloodthirsty berserkermonster who hated everyone because of where he landed. Just one example, mind you.
>Or, if they're really that big a priority, put the damn Crusade on hold and devote a few centuries to search and rescue.
That's pretty much what he was doing. He needed the Primarchs in place and running his armies as soon as possible because even the Emperor can't be everywhere in the galaxy at once. Remember, one of the reasons for the Imperial Webway was because warp travel was too dangerous and unpredictable for a galaxy-spanning empire to reliably use. With the Primarchs on the front lines fighting his battles for him he could devote all his time into the Webway project.

Repostan.
Are there canon examples of Celestines who aren't Luna existing beyond the theoretical level and actually giving Mortals power?
The 'monster builder' rules will be nice. Though I'm guessing it'll just be a version of what was already in Mortal Remains. Maybe they'll put a more clear explanation of ephemera, get rid of that god awful diagram from GMC.
I forget was hunter 2e confirmed a thing? Id be nice just so i dont have to cross reference core, GMC rules update, vigil core, and then mortal remains.

Last time Abigail achieved victory and Petyr is now DOOMED! DOOMED I TELL YOU! Too bad he doesn't realize it just yet. Abigail meanwhile is very happy and has already called in the reward...for a future date. A wedding to be precise and is now currently talking with a sister of his fiance who promised to cover the costs as a wedding gift. Petyr meanwhile is catching up with another sister of his and is trying to figure out life to little success.
What do?

Are Orcs germanic?
>>43690230
During the Roman days, yeah. Rome was never able to conquer their territories because they were a freakishly strong warrior race that knew how to take advantage of their land.
And once Rome lost control of Britannia, the Germans later crossed the waters and unleashed a mass genocide on the people there, raping their women and "colonizing" the island.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/the-anglo-saxon-invasion-britain-is-more-germanic-than-it-thinks-a-768706-2.html
Very orcish. At least historically.
>>43690230
No. I'm pretty sure they're from Scottland, actually. Orkney, to be specific.
>>43690577
That article is bullshit, buddy. Hell, even the name is silly, since the English have been referring to themselves as Anglo-Saxon for forever, so Britain's certainly not "more Germanic than it thinks." And the Romans did conquer Germany, by the way.
In answer to OP's question, well, it depends. Tolkien's orcs were not Germanic, at all. They were Asian. Think Mongolian horde.
It would be totally appropriate to make orcs Germanic though, since to the Romans the Germans were the epitome of a savage warrior race.
Hell, one of the interesting things about European history is how the pacifistic religion of Christianity was adopted by the savage Germans, but in the process we ended up with this weird mix of culture that ended up in the crusades.

I think we should have a weird story thread. Not inherently ABOUT the game you are telling the story. More about the weird things players or people just in the area of the game that have happened.
Here's one that I feel is always relevant.
>Thursday night D&D running 5e
>2nd week as a dedicated DM
>Some guy comes in asking if he can run a different game. Store owner says ok
>Find out he's running Ponyfinder
>Store has a ban on MLP games because they devolve into what pony the players would fuck
>Kick him out for the night
Alright. It gets a little worse from here. Fast forward to next week.
>Brony shows up again
>Plays in the game where we shove the shitpiles. Fine by me
>He made a sorceress named "Princess Moonbeam"
>Asks if anyone wants to go to his mom's house to play Ponyfinder
>The game he is in consists of 9 players. The 28 yr old creeper DM and 7 high schoolers
>This guy is 36
>Store owner hears this and puts a stop to that shit ASAP
>Get's into a fucking rage knocking over an entire rack of 40k shit
>Next day his picture is on the "Do not let in store" list
>Have a good laugh when I see this sign
>Feel good I got the 40k shit at half price when some boxes were crushed
It was enraging helping the store owner pick all the shit up, but looking back this story is fucking hilarious. What makes people do this shit?
>>43689725
>What makes people do this shit?
4chan, or rather the internet in general. It's a giant hugbox where these people can find others like themselves and convince themselves that the way they are is normal and acceptable and any problems their behavior causes is everyone else's fault... you know, instead of learning from the people around them through real interaction and adapting like most socially healthy people do.
>>43689725
Dude just wants to play the game that he wants to play.
Imagine if you wanted to play DnD, but it was the height of the satantic panic so every time you tried to bring it up or get a game going everyone would get upset and call you a devil worshiper.
My group is thankfully free of pony nonsense, but I won't pretend that I don't understand why the dude would be frustrated. Its got to suck having a hobby that draws that kind of flak, especially since the guy seems to lack social awareness enough to recognize why inviting a bunch of highschoolers to his house is going to raise red flags.
>>43690683
It would be like you wanted to play D&D at the height of the satanic panic, only fully one in three D&D games was actually about murdering babies for Satan.
I get why the guy could be put out, but it's really his own fault for wanting to fuck cartoon horses.

Old Thread >>43614380
"But why GURPS?"
1) The splatbooks/worldbooks are universally written by people who know what they're talking about. The Fantasy book is written by archaeologists and historians, the Space book is written by astrophysicists, the Guns book is written by gun experts, etc. The factual mistakes are few and far between, and almost always acknowledged later. They give great advice on how to make believable worlds, how FTL affects society, how magic changes warfare, how real supernatural elements change secret societies... or how to ignore all realism and make whatever setting you want in a way that players can't take advantage of. They're great reads, even if you don't use the system.
2) GURPS has rules to handle anything. You don't need to use them all (why bother with rules for asphyxiating in a vacuum in a game about biker gangs?) but they're there. So if a game doesn't go where you expect, and your party of adventurers buy a wagon and start managing a merchant caravan company, there are books to support that style of play in a systemic way, integrated with the core rules in a way that makes sense. This also makes it great for crazy blends of game. Dungeonpunk with automatic firearms? Yes.
3) GURPS by default uses "heroic realism". This is when the odds on the heroes' sides but reality doesn't bend for them. Two bullets will knock a human unconscious (but not immediately kill him - this is fairly realistic) but hitting a moving target more than 100m away in a firefight is hard as hell. It suits games that go for a realistic or gritty feel and gives a break from the slightly cartoony damage sponges in games like D&D but can be customised with optional rules to change the feel from "Fuck You, There Are No Heroes and the World is Shit" right up to "The Heroes are Good and Always Triumph Over Evil". Incidentally, what makes it heroic realism also makes it the best game on the market to play a game about Operators Operating Operationally.

What's a good cyberpunk system for running a Deus Ex game?
Shadowrun
>>43686733
I do have a soft spot for Shadowrun but the fantasy elements stick out like a sore thumb evening if they were a refluffed. Besides it's rules never seemed like the greatest desu.
Same goes for cyberpunk 2020 even though the world is probably closer
I've heard good things about Interface era and I'm not sure savage worlds carries concept well.
>>43686783
Savage Worlds is my typical go-to, but yeah I don't think it would fit well, it's more for goofy actiony games (honestly I think it would be better for Shadowrun than Shadowrun's system.)
As for system I for Deus Ex I recommend the obvious GURPS. That's a given. But I also thing Eclipse Phase with some refluffing could really work. And finally I think Edge of the Empire is super super fun and can be tweaked for a lot of different games. You could set up so specialization trees for different cybernetic implants to define character progression more as cybernetic upgrades. Not everyone's cup of tea though, I just love it.
