Honestly? Dragons.


They're just so badass. Recent blocks have made people seemingly hate dragons, but I still love em.

Myr are also up there. Do the Simic mutants count as their own race?
>>
>>43501304
I would count as a separate race.
On the topic of Dragons : I wish that DTK had more tiny Dragons. Not just big ones . That is what sucked about it besides the killing off a great wedge world.

Hello and welcome back to Mortal Kombat Konquest!

After a break for October, I am very glad to say that I have returned for the continuation of our story. Now we revisit Kaito, or as he is now known, Otiak, in his mission to save all of reality from an unknown threat.

In a small demi-plane, a figure has trained and prepared himself for his new journey. His body is unlike his own, and as such he needed time to grow used to it and learn its new tricks. Under the watchful guidance of a mysterious figure, an agent of time, he has learned all he can learn in this place and must now venture to another reality--his own.

While he has been here, he has watched and observed troubling events in his home. Deaths of friends, powerful artifacts stolen, bonds broken and more. But he has also seen much that has given him hope; love between allies, friends performing great deeds of heroism and new allegiances forged. But he knows something that none of them know: all of reality is in danger.

His name is Otiak, though he was not always known by this name. Until he can stop the threat to all of reality, however, he must keep himself secret, for while he has made many allies, he has also made many enemies. The entity is also seeking him, for he represents the greatest threat to its plans.

Ryan, agent of Chronisis, checks his watch as Otiak trains. He steps off his rock and walks forward with his staff. "It's time."

Otiak turns to him and blinks his yellow eyes a few times before nodding silently. "I'm ready."

"For the sake of your home, I hope you are. The portal will be opening in just a few moments. This is the only one that will take you back. Once your task is complete, we can finish the rest and fix everything."

"Find the entity, destroy it, save all of reality, and get my body back," Otiak says. "Right, I got it."

"Remember that we won't be able to help you. We cannot make contact nor alter anything in your favor. Everything that happens from this point on is the actions of mortals, and not Elder Gods, Chronosis nor the Agents of Time will be able to interfere. You'll be on your own."

Otiak clenches his scaled fists and repeats, "I'm ready."

Ryan stares at him from beneath his expressionless mask before checking his watch again, his most common habbit. Nearby, a glowing portal opens, the swirling vortex manifesting in the blink of an eye from nothingness and growing large enough to encompass a man.

"Any idea where this will take me?" the saurian asks as he approaches it.

"A place you have never been. It is called Seido, the realm of Order. Watch out for the guards, for their laws are very strict."

"Alright... Here I go." He pauses at the portal before looking back to Ryan. "I'll see you again?"

"If all goes as planned, in your own body next time, yes," Ryan nods. "Good luck."

Otiak steps through the portal and finds himself thrown across realities, his body twisting and contorting in impossible ways. He closes his eyes, for there is too much to see around him; different places, people, timelines, worlds, events, possibilities--far too much to take in all at once.

When the strange and surreal transportation ends, the saurian finds himself falling through the opposite end of the portal and onto hard stone. He shakes his head and looks around, finding that he is on an impossible stone platform with a single bridge leading towards a massive collection of straight-edged buildings surrounded by floating platforms, connected by straight or perfectly rounded streets of floating stone.

The sky is filled with floating pyramids arranged in an orderly pattern. He can see perfect symmetry in almost everything around him, from the buildings to the layout of the platforms and bridges. Even the stars in the night sky appear to be arranged in a specific manner. Looking over the side of the stone platform he is on, he sees only a blue void of clouds far below.

He scans the city before him and sees perfectly-straight rows of trees and man-made rivers that flow straight and evenly, sometimes curving and other times angling at ninety degrees. "Seido... the realm of order," he says to himself. He's only heard of this place, but has never seen it.

The portal behind him closes, sealing off any and all outside intervention. Now it is up to him.

Remember, ask a specific question, we'll be happy to help. But if you're vague, we'll tell you to make your players fight necrons. Probably.

I've been looking over the Fear and Loathing, and The Fringe is Yours books and I thought the character creation is actually pretty balanced. Has anyone tried to make a Tau or Necron in their game? How did it pan out?

>>43499765
there was exelion, or however you spell it, which was tau/deldar which seemed to work. Necrons i didnt even bother looking through since i doubt i'll ever get a group able to play them well.

Lore question-If the eastern fringe is Astronomicon-free, are all warp jumps done via calculations, or can a sufficiently skilled navigator travel a few hundred lightyears from system to system? Basically, can my homebrew sector on the fringe function well enough to have 3 millennia old settlements?

The rogue Trader thought that, after going through most of a sector's biggest and baddest in order to snatch a (mindwiped) Man of Iron before anyone else did, the best course of action was to give his prize to the Mechanicus in return for an archeotech plasma drive, rather than keep the thing which was perfectly capable of tearing through necrodermis with its bear hands. Of course, it ended up with Chaos snatching the thing from the cogs and became the BBEG, but he was damn proud of his plasma drive and thought it was a good swap

Oh, there's an IRC, too #tggoes50k on Rizon

Maybe someone here can give me advice.

When they say you should write everyday for practice, does it have to be fictional writing, or do you just write whatever, as long as it's a certain word count? Because I want to be able to tell stories, that's the main thing.

Also, how do you avoid the pitfall of starting to write something and then just being paralyzed for whatever reason? It's like I'm worried that I'm fucking up what I wanted to convey, and can't bear to continue murdering the meaning. Makes me feel like an idiot.
>>
>>43493596
I feel similar. I just have so many problems with the very act of writing. Typing or writing both have their issues, and it's very hard for me to get over the tactility of it and the difficulty in arranging thoughts once they're put down.

As for writing practice, you should generally write what you want to write. Writing grocery lists or something academic probably won't help you write a narrative. But describing and narrating something from your life that isn't fictional probably will.
