How'd the househunting go?
Speaking of houses, didn't we bring up the idea of a combat maid group for our holdings?
I know we considered getting a security staff because of wandering monsters at our island manor.

>CURRENT LOCATION:
ORBITING TELEMATHA
There was no going back now. In front of you stood your birthplace, still, you weren’t really born, but created and thus to you it felt now more like a hellish and cold place rather than home. An incoming vox-message started blasting across the speakers of the Command Bridge.
“Unidentified Frigate, you bear the Mark of the Mechanicus. Your arrival was not scheduled, identify yourself in less than a minute or we will open fire.”
You walked towards the microphonii and cleared your throat.
“We are the Lux in Tenebris, an exploratory vessel at the service of the Omnissiah that wants to go home. I, Heracor Nahive, have returned…”
There were some tense minutes of silence and afterwards you were given a greenlight. Several astro-wisps, small satellites that can glow like a small sun thanks to a micro-plasma battery, started to illuminate and created a way to advance towards the Space Dock that was on the upper levels of the Core Needle, the chimney that bisected the entire planet.
As the ship got closer you reached to see more of the Core Needle, the massive gargantuan chimney that traversed deep into the nucleus of the planet and that was so high that it ended out of the atmosphere. Resembling somewhat a mushroom its top got suddenly way wider, the chimney was a multipurpose creation and on top it had a massive turbine engine that helped sucking the toxic gases and was attached to it a Space Station that also worked as spaceship Dock. This station worked hard on maintaining the Turbines and Docks and on top of that they were the responsible of making the Space Elevator that connected them with the planet below
>>43608094
That place was available for everybody, be it part of the Mechanicus or not, yet it had a great fare of thrones to be used. Any merchant that wanted to dock their ship and use the Elevator to safely descend its goods would have to pay an extortionate price; the other option was to use orbital transports to disembark their wares, a process that was way slower and risky.
Your ship docked next to several other ones, who were either incredibly big or surprisingly small in comparison. They were of several origins; Pilgrims, Explorator ships, Merchant fleets, Navy ships and even a couple of Rogue Trader vessels.
When the docking had been correct and finished we all accessed inside and found a hub that was highly industrial and advanced yet quite didn’t looked like it pertained to the Machine Cult. There were thousands of shops, entertainment lounges and even several prostitutes, some of which were highly augmented. Even if that Station was part of the Mechanicus it was mostly visited by people from outside of the Cult and thus it had been adapted for their crude tastes. Your men were pretty excited, this was an opportunity for them to see new and exciting technology and learn many new things, you were pretty sure that now that they were all trained there would be more than one fight between them and some drunktard crewsman from another vessel, you weren’t completely worried about it thought, your people were well trained and had all the probabilities on their side.
Shortly after entering you were received by a small group of Techpriests that wore Ivory robes whose decorations and access were in a mix of Midnight blue and Cardinal colors. The leader was a man that was covered in thin golden cables that reached deep into its neck and went all the way into a strange crystalline canister on its back that was filled with a purple looking substance.
>>43608116
“I welcome to you all to our humble Space Station, the “Sigarum Pharus”. We have been expecting your return for years but just when it came, we weren’t able to perceive it, I hope you can forgive us oh great Luminangelus. You and your men are free to stay here as long as you wish and will have free access to any to its Librariums, Forges, Chapels and the…the many business that have installed in there. The people of Telematha have also been informed of your come and are eagerly awaiting your descent. Ave Luminangelus, Ave Omnissiah.”
>Ask him about the religion that has formed around your persona. Your men were followers and believed that you were chosen of the Omnissiah, but this people seem to consider you some kind of saint or demigod.
>Explore around for some hours. See what you can do.
>Descend with all your men to Telematha. They might be useful if it all develops into a total war.
>Your men have been training hard during this month of journey. Let them take a small vacation by letting them bask in this Station and its many entertainments.
>Write in.
looking for more ultra-light rules. me and my roomies had a blast with this (using some SotU Expanded rules thrown in.)
I have some to share
>>43608484
How strong is your average Space Marine? Everywhere I look seems to put them at anywhere from 5-10 ton lifters depending on the author and the type of armor they're wearing.
As strong as they need to be to sound impressive.
>>43607938
No, they're much stronger than just 10 ton lifters. Space Marines outside of armor and nekkid have the strength of ten men, power armor multiplies this a further ten times, which puts them well into the double digit benching range.
Which makes sense considering that Astartes do shit like rip apart tank armor with their bare hands, push tanks and large vehicles around, carry tree logs without exertion, etc.
>>43608024
well if an average man (lets assume guard) can bench press 200lbs one rep max (this is probably still low) a marine not wearing armor can bench press 1 ton and with armor 10 tons. Sounds about right to me.
What is the result ?
40k is shit.

Preach it brother!
Last thread people complained that *everyone* knows about the Dresden Files. Likewise, everyone knows about things like Buffy and Fringe and Supernatural--they're even listed as inspirations.
What are some lesser known inspirational material for urban fantasy? I talked a bit about Greywalker, and Walker Papers near the end, and some other Anon linked Stroke of Dumb Luck, which you can read here

Reposting from last thread:
>I've been reading the Greywalker series, and while I think Kat Richardson has trouble describing things (come to think of it, I wonder if maybe that's because of the whole "she doesn't own a television" thing her About page proudly declares?) and the .epub has some bad formatting and a few spelling errors, but Greywalker is really good for an idea of what Twilight might be like--she's very much got that whole Geisty "seeing the dead all the time and having trouble drowning them out" thing going on--as well as the way that her connection to the Grey gives her what amounts to Mage Sight.
>She sees auras, and can sense magical effects. Going deep into the Grey--what is effectively Twilight, the place of creatures of death like ghosts and vampires and zombies, and also a place where there are the remnants of different time periods all stacked on top of one another, with ghosts and Greywalkers able to move between them; ghosts walking through walls is described with the same rationale that I've used, they simply walk through an area where there's no wall in Twilight--means that she's also able to see the underlying fabric of reality, which she sees as taut, pulsing strings of living energy. Some of the chapters seem like exactly the kind of descriptions that DaveB has used for Mage Sight and how it feels and functions.
>>43607245
Being Human is a pretty decent show; both the US and the UK versions. I like the UK version more, in terms of story, though.
It's sourced in the Beast book, iirc, as an Inspiration, though, so I guess it's a bit of a given. Basically, it's about a Vampire(Daeva or Ventrue, both fit)and a Werewolf(more of a Wolf-Blooded with a Tell that turns him into Gauru or Urshul form on the full moon, depending on which show you watch), who decide to move into a house together to try and pretend they're human for as long as possible. They quickly realize they have a third housemate, though, a Ghost(Rank 1 to start out, but she raises to Rank 3 or 4 by the start of the second season). The shows have their own separate mythologies, and they go separate ways after the first season, so it's worth watching them both.
In The Flesh could also be used as a piece of Inspiration for a Promethean game: The PDS-sufferers are all Frankensteins, and some fuckhead(probably a mage) found a way to channel the Divine Fire into the corpse of everyone who died within the past year. Of course, it didn't go exactly as planned; something went wrong, and they start out as mindless zombies who eat people. Eventually, though, some other mages figure out a way to treat the plight and return the zombies to sentience. That doesn't mean the rest of the world is happy with the walking corpses, though. The show tells the story of one guy's experiences after he's released from the treatment facility.
Lost Girl screams of Changeling, and a bit of every other splat as well, given that EVERYBODY in the show with any kind of supernatural ability falls in the category of "Fae". They stick to Light and Dark courts, but the show is about the one woman-a Darkling Succubus-who chooses not to align herself with either court.
From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series is a group of mortals finding themselves at the mercy of a group of Setites.

The Evil God of Love is giving me trouble.
This might take a minute.
>>43607184
Oh god.
>Oh, whoops, dropped the jar of locusts. I hope the humans are allright.
I'm just going to leave this here.
>>43607164
yeah, so what?
>you have the opportunity to murder a baby you know will grow up to be evil
Is this an evil act?
>you have the opportunity by magical means to compel a woman to miscarry. If she bears the child, it will grow up to be evil.
Is this an evil act? Is it more or less evil to do it without consulting her? What if she refuses to kill the baby?
>>43606711
Yes, its evil. The question is: Is that evil worth doing?
It would be more evil to do it without consulting her, but less even than if you consulted with her and did it anyway.
>>43606711
I would say yes. The 'path of good' says to raise the child and watch over them, try to make them good. Even if it's futile, can't punish someone for something they haven't done yet.
However, if you know it's a fact you cut that fucker down the second they go to do something "evil".
Or you could go the "morals aren't black and white route" but that probably makes you evil in most alignment cases.
>>43606711
Killing the baby is justifiable but its the ''easy'' option. The more ''good'' option would be to raise the baby not to turn evil and have preparations for their elimination if needs be.
As for forcible miscarriage, that is evil if only because its forcing it on to another person whom is essentially an innocent bystander.
If she refuses, you prepare to either turn evil in the eyes of most people, and possibly yourself, or you prepare some form of contingency (murder the kid just after birth)
Let's stat Worf, let me give it a try
STR 18
DEX 15
STA 20
INT 10
WIS 14
CHA 8
CHA should be 1 point lower. WIS should be one point higher.
He knew a lot of shit and whenever advice was offered nobody listened.
"Theres Klingon reports of big black clouds in space that consume ships. Maybe we should arm weapons and back away from it."
"Cool story, Worf. Insufferable Child Navigator, bring us right up to the cloud"
OH GEE I WONDER WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS NEXT?
>>43606692
His CHA was actually not that bad, but he should have a 40 % penalty for dealing with nonviolent races.
When is eating the corpses of sapient creatures justifiably non-evil under D&D alignments?
Assume Purify Food and Drink handles would-be infections.
If one happens to have a cultural reason to consider it a sign of respect is the most obvious thing in my opinion.
Like you eat the flesh of strong warriors so its a sign of respect for your enemies and you would expect your enemies to do the same to you.
You won't swing Lawful most likely but NG, N, CN, and CG should all be accessible.

When the person doesn't have a conscience.
>>43606489
It's never ok if it's your own race.
It's not ok if you need food and you are a lazy faggot.
You awake with a start in the night. A chill wind blows over you, sending harsh shivers up your spine. You curl up tighter to stave off the cold of winter, but your meager clothes and a makeshift rag of a blanket can only insulate so much. You decide that sleep is a futile goal for now, and sit up, hoping movement will warm you some.
It has been some weeks since the plague took your family, and though it has subsided, mostly thanks to the aid of the church, the lives of those affected are not yet mended. With no income, your home was taken from you, and you are now forced to make your way as a beggar. It is in this moment, on a cold night in the dead of an unforgiving winter, that you feel a desire unlike any you've felt before. You rise to your feet, driven by determination, and vow to ascend from this, to reach something you'd never thought possible until now. But first, you have needs to take care of.
You are cold, hungry, and tired. You have no money. The city is dark, and the only other folk around are those with the same troubles as you.

So we know that the Emperor had specific roles intended for each of His sons when He made them, but why did He make them in the order that He did? What was the Emperor's thought process when He was sketching out the primarch project? This is what I came up with:
I need some leaders for my space war. First impressions are important, so I'll start with (I) the paladin (Lion El'Jonson) who needs (II) [redacted] and complements (III) the paragon (Fulgrim), none of whom can effectively wage war without (IV the sapper (Perturabo) and (V) the outrider (Jaghatai Khan). If any go astray I need (VI) the enforcer (Leman Russ) and (VII) the sentry ( Rogal Dorn) guided by (VIII) the justicar (Konrad Curze), but surely no one would betray (IX) the symbol (Sanguinius). Getting a little abstract here. Back to basics with (X) the engineer (Ferrus Manus) and (XI) [redacted] and (XII) the warrior (Angron) coordinated by (XIII) the administrator (Roboute Guilliman). Fuck the warp, though. It would be nice to have one guy who's completely incorruptible, like (XIV) the ascetic (Mortarion) to keep an eye on (XV) the mystic (Magnus the Red). Those two probably won't get along. I'll need someone to knock some heads together, someone like (XVI) the general (Horus) speaking through (XVII) the orator (Lorgar) and outfitted appropriately by (XVIII) the craftsman (Vulkan). This looks great. Seriously fuck the warp, though. Better beef up security with (XIX) the watchman (Corvus Corax) and (XX) the spy (Alpharius Omegon).
What does /tg/ think?
>>43606068
You posted this yesterday and nobody had any input then, too.
>>43606068
Its shit.
Sorry but it is.
The total lack of interest yesterday should have made this clear.
>>43606186
>>43606216
I did. The one post I got was from a nice guy who suggested that I add the names of the primarchs in addition to the legion numbers in case not everyone has them memorized.
Is it really shit? Why do you think GW numbered them the way they did?
