What the hell is this setting? What do I have to read to have a GM-able understanding of it?
>>47910760
It's weaboo fantasy samurai.
You have to read the fluff and the rules to GM it. Emerald Empire has the most comprehensive fluff in a single 4e book.
>>47910818
BTW, anon means weeaboo not in the sense of "Japanese stuff" like so many people have debased the term to mean, but in the "white person with a superficial at best understanding of Japanese culture and history".
The designer of the setting is a much less clever man then he thinks he is.
>>47910849
Yes. It's very much a fantasy setting first. Historical accuracy is left at the door.

We reused the image? Boo. Boooo.
From the last thread: it might be a stupid question, but does Battlefront make an SdKfz 251/1D Stuka zu Fuss? I can only find one based off the Ausf. C chassis.

This thread is meant to inspire Lovecraftian /tg/ (like Delta Green and CoC) and discuss Lovecraft's works for inspiration along with anything else that fits into this genre or takes place in the Yog-Sothothery.

How do you like your games on the scale between purist and pulpy?

Either, good sir, both are entertaining.

Storythread: like the Immortals, when one dies another takes its place. Doesn't seem like a fortnight since the last one, does it? Probably because the last thread was up for 11 days, which must be some kind of record on /tg/
If you have /tg/ related stories to post, post them here, and hopefully some kind anon will give you feedback (or at least acknowledge that someone did actually read it, which let's face it is what writefags really want).
If you don't have a story ready then I and other anons will be posting pictures throughout the thread for...

by the way, sorry I haven't updated the wiki for a while. I'll get on it as soon as I can, I promise, but I've been ill all week (and I got like 2 hours sleep last night). Don't worry, I do still have everything saved.
So, I was planning on starting a story based off my TW:WH campaign, but I forgot to do it. So I am gonna do that here if it is within the rules.

Welcome everyone, new and old players alike! This is Tundra civ, a civ thread series in a fictional, non-fantasy setting where you play as the rulers of the White Republic, a nation in a world similar to our own.

Dungeon traps, what's the best you've had?
>>48024818
Haha, thats evil.
Any ideas for new warlock invocations? Anybody have a homebrew with some?
>>48025017
I made a few a while back but I can't find them, there was one for each pact boon plus a few others for spells and creature abilities
>>48024818
I need to remember that. But on that note I'm trying to come up with traps or puzzles that would exist in an abandoned cave. One I have is room with a lake taking up most of the space with a path that goes from one side to the other and thins out the farther you go. PCs will have to make a DEX check or they fall in and may get tangled up in some kind of plant. Failing their check to get loose they get more wound up in the plant and start to sink.
I'm looking for a few more suggestions though of natural...

I read an interesting idea about how to handle party death - if someone in the party dies, new characters join the party at a significantly reduced level - let's say a level 5 party loses two guys; they then would gain two fresh level 2 recruits.
Obviously, this wouldn't work with a certain kind of player - for some people, the progression is the most important thing, gaining levels and wealth is the whole reason they're playing. It also would require careful design on the part of the GM, making sure that things were still challenging enough for the high-level player without being immediately lethal to the lower level one.
That being said, I really would like to try this - I would love the party being two veteran survivors of the Archlich's wrath (level ten) recruiting and leading the best young recruits they could find from the local town and caravans (level four) because nobody else was fool enough to join them in their quest.
Does anybody have any experience with asymmetric parties? What was it like?
Does it sound like the kind of thing that would fly at your table? If not, how would you make it do so?
Also, pictures of characters with lopsided power, because why not?
>>48023936
The issue with that is you soon run into 'Well, I'm low level so I'm more likely to die...which will make me even MORE low level'.
It's an unfortunate death spiral. Or the higher level characters stomping over the problem without the lower level ones being able to contribute.
I think it works better in systems that don't have explicit levels. I play in Cortex mainly, which is a level-less rules light system, and I feel like it would fit right in there. It's also story based, so there's a lot to be said for something like pic related. Three veteran heist men, but their safecracker died last year - so they have to bring his kid on board, who learned everything he knew.
There's a great amount of story potential there.
>>48023961
>The issue with that is you soon run into 'Well, I'm low level so I'm more likely to die...which will make me even MORE low level'.
I hadn't considered that - I suppose there would have to be a standard lower level. Let's say half the level of the highest level member, rounded down. That way, you lose your level four guy, you get another one, and are still in the same ballpark compared to the level eights.

I mean, what's even the point of studying the blade and cultivating inner strength if you don't plan to use it to fight barbarians and stuff? You'd think they'd be psyched about this.

I've been meaning to watch this, is it worth it?

It's pretty funny. Basically making fun of the whole SAO fad.

Continuation of >>47946038 that sparked nice rules and fluff discussion about the sisters.
But fell free to talk about the other troops of the Ministorum. Crusaders, Frateris and Death Cults needs more love.
So, what defines the the SoB in your eyes? Which niche do they fill as an army and as an organization? What bits do you like/dislike about them?
Are living saints imperial daemon princes? Is there Imperial demons somewhere?

Why does she look like she's about go to explore the Darkest Dungeon?
>>48009434
The fact that no place can hide you from the Emperor's wrath doesn't mean that traitors won't try.
I love the close range shooty army.
For me they fight mostly inside cities. Protecting holy sites, relics, civilians.
Why civilian protecting in 40k? Well because everyone is part of the Emperor's plan. Some fight his wars, others tend his crops, while other build his armies weapons. Civilians need to protected for their part in the war of survival is not fighting, but enabling others to do the good fight.
>for a mysterious reason, all of the nuclear bombs/rockets/etc. detonate exactly at this moment, right where they are (silos, submarines etc.)
What happens?
>>48023233
everyone fucking dies
what do you mean what happens
Do we have information about where all the nukes are? Except those that are obviously missing. But do we actually know where, let's say, all the nukes of the US are stationed?
>>48023233
US,Russia,China,Britain and France eat a serious cock. India,Pakistan and Israel eat a smaller cock.
Everybody else has a good time watching the world powers suffer.
