In the previous wave of threads, we have started an outpouring of worldbuilding for a "Cape World" setting, although the flood has since calmed down so don't be afraid to ask for help with your own setting.
Some stuff has been collected into pastebins

Topic starter: what's the weirdest power you ever used in a supers game? how about the weirdest setting?
>PLORP
That's awful.
Any ability that makes that sound would be awful.
Quick question: How much thought do you put into the sound your powers make?

I play from time to time. Zoan/Venom/Malanthropes take pretty much always every Elite slot I have and sometimes I want to bring Hive Guard, etc...
>>47954905
I don't see much to whine about Genestealer Cults. They have pretty good rules considering they are part Tyranid (Hybrids being better than actual Genestealers, Formation with turn 1 charges and 4+ cover in the open). Only thing is that I don't see a need for a Codex unless they do some considerable changes since none of the units can buy anything or change their unit numbers
>>47955713
Also if you ally with Inp Guard for tanks people won't walk away over fluff disgust.
Damn, my Deredeo has two left lower legs, and my leviathan storm cannon is missing half the main body.
What's your favorite dice mechanic, /tg/? How come?
>>47929464
GURPS: 3d6 roll under
It takes the probability curve and uses it to the best possible advantage; ease of play.
>>47929464
Gravity combined with forward velocity. Friction helps too.
>>47929464
Now me, I've never actually used percentile dice or anything outside of Shadowrun and D&D, but I gotta say throwing a pile of d6s in the former is fun as hell.
Welcome to a thread where we discuss the backstory to a children's card game and make awful OC for the same setting. Expect the lowest quality of fanfiction and self-inserts in this thread. Remember, every snowflake is shit, especially yours and especially mine.
Previous thread: >>47902082
What happened in it? Some lore was discussed, the second sheets of the snowstorm and joke sheet were made and nothing of value was produced by anyone at all.
There's also a repository where someone is obsessively hoarding all of the OC we produce, whether it's a shitty snowflake planeswalker or a terrible story. Whatever you make, expect it to be saved. Here's the repository:
>https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bwl7IuoVRkFxUDZRVGVfQ1BDbm8
And if you're interested in discussing the lore that's almost as bad as what we make, then here's the latest MtG lore article featuring everyone becoming one'mrakul:
>http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/emrakul-rises
Enjoy your stay and don't forget, all snowflakes are shit, especially yours and especially mine.
>it's a GM who treats the game like GTA and lets the players do whatever while nothing happens in the world because he has no consistent characters except for weapon merchants and a single quest giver
>it's a party that's more interested in making quips than progressing the narrative
>it's a GM who forgot to write his own campaign and just lifted characters from the latest episode of Game of Thrones
>it's a character that doesn't speak common and the player refuses to speak english and is terrible at determining what is an In-character and an Out-of-character question
>it's a GM who just makes the BBEG generic "evil" without motive or purpose
>It's a player in a superhero campaign who actively attempts to avoid being a "special snowflake" by trying to be an average joe
>it's a GM who doesn't understand history and creates some crazy world non-centralized nations are able to raise huge armies on a moments notice, while small wealthy kingdoms have no mercenaries available to hire in defense
>It's a player who thinks he's smart because he brings modern fireteam tactics to a pike and shot game
>it's a GM who puts traps on every single door and hallway, then complains when the players all get Boots of Spiderclimb and walk on ceilings
>it's a player who tries doing a shitty accent
>it's a GM who spends most of the game talking to himself because he has too many DMPCs
>It's a player with ten pages of unintelligible backstory
>It's a player playing a rebellious noble
>it's a communist in the 12th century
>the GM has been brewing an "epic story' for years in notes and scrawlings
>when the game is actually run, we shoot holes in the grand schemes and plots within seconds
>game falls apart in less than a session
I swear, I just wanted to play a gunslinger with a heart of gold. Why did your universe make so little sense?
At what point did you grow out of hating the Ultramarines for no reason other than trying to fit in?
When I picked Ultramarines as my first army.
>>47953066
Start of 4th edition 40k when I realised all the cooler later founding chapters were Ultramarine descendants.
>>47953066
I don't really have any big issue with the Ultramarines as a concept, I just wish that they'd stop getting pushed like a dry turd all over the rest of the Space Marine lore. Spiritual liege shit aside, they're not bad, I even like the Greco-Roman thing they've got going on as a chapter gimmick.
For reference, my favorite chapters are the Raptors and Imperial Fists.
>sci-fi setting features a "bug race" as the primary antagonist
Good Lord, can't anybody do anything interesting with the bug race aside from making them generic space goblins?
We did, they called it Alien.
it's just a cheap way to make an enemy that can't be negotiated with
>>47952118
Be the change you wish to see in the world nigger
Once upon a time, you died and went to hell. Then came the End Times. Rather than crumbling to the invading armies of daemons, humanity fought back. Now they have invaded Hell and broken it's armies. Satan lies dead, killed by several anti-shipping missiles, and his Lords squabble and fight each other. Hell, or at least the city of Dis and the surrounding areas, are under the control of the Republic of the Abyss. But Hell is vast, and the tortured are free. Now, you must make of your un-life what you will, because not even all the forces of man can truly occupy a place as inhospitable to the living as Hell. All the while, the forces of God wait and watch for their moment to strike.
>>47947816
Okay.
Now what?
>>47947971
Now we need plothooks for the players to follow. Post-Hell states? There's a lot of kings and queens and emperors from throughout history stuck in Hell. If you swore service for life to a king who you though had divine right, what do you do now?
>>47947816
What's Heaven's reaction to this? Did they take all the true believers up in a beam of light, or is heaven now an international polity with trade relationships with earth?
Assuming Revelations is accurate, does Jesus get his millenium reign on earth again, or did us curbstomping hell stop that?
How does he feel about it?
Welcome back, Kestrels, to the thirty-fifth installment of Mecha Space Pirate Quest. As always, you are Admiral Roarke Susan Starwind, leader of the Iron Kestrels pirate fleet, master of the startship Rhinehawk, pilot of the indomitable Knuckle Kaiser, girlherder, and a man with a far more significant bounty than you started out with.

Last time, for the first time in a long time, a woman you had feelings for told you she couldn't be with you. Such are the perils of interfering with other people's marriages.

>AAAAWWWWWWW YYYYYIIIISSSSSS!!! MOTHERCLUCKIN' MECHA SPACE PIRATE QUEST!
Welcome back, Mr. Wong. Hopefully that was the timeskip.
Also, 4chan did not want to cooperate with me at first.
So, we're going to do a little timeskip to the end of the week and Fatima's return. Roarke has a lot of small, minor tasks worth glossing over on his plate, but rather than have breather chapter after breather chapter devoted to lighthearted fun, I thought it was time we got down to business.
Seeking out the Master for training has not happened yet. I would never skip over something like that. A pirate's life is often a busy one.
>>47947377
Ey Wong. I finished Moe's mech. Took a while to finangle it, but it's pretty nice. http://pastebin.com/1TZc5WFk
Just how exactly did this idea come about? Do you like them? Do you use them? Why use a dire wolf when you have vargs or vice versa?
And are there dire intelligent species? What would those be like?

How do you really scare the shit out of your players?
>>47937838
First you find players who will accept being scared. That goes a long way toward getting them scared it turns out.
>>47937838
place a gun on the table in front of you at the first joke you hear.
>>47937886
That won't always do it. I had a DM do something like that with a knife. He was a smaller guy and I'm a bigger guy so I pi led him up and threw him away from the knife. Took 3 people to stop me from killing the little fucker.
Assuming magic existed similar to DnD, lasted well into the modern age, it wouldn't be so ridiculous a notion to assume that they'd regulate a la gun control right?
I can already picture it now
>owning tomes that teach you how to cast fireballs or magic missile get you on an NSA/FBI terrorist watch list
>staves, wands and other enchanted items are heavily regulated requiring years worth of licensing and background checks to own; caught with an unregistered magical item lands you a heavy prison sentence
>get arrested for performing healing magic without an official medical or religious license to practice it
>most item enchantments are kept from public access and only for military and law enforcement
>potions are rigorously tested by the FDA before hitting the shelves
>illegal to own any kind of exotic mythical creature
Sure, but just imagine the cockfights.
they already did that to alchemy
>"Top story of the hour: Do minor enchantments cause autism in small children? A controversial new report from the Bureau of Magic, Enchantments, and Alchemy seems to indicate a correlated link between the presence of even minor item enchantments in households with small children and the increased likelihood of being diagnosed with autism. This report drew widespread condemnation from Enchantment rights activists with the National Wizard's Association calling for the resignation of the director of the MEA, quoted as calling it 'divisive fear mongering by those seeking to strip the American magicians community of [their] constitutional rights' and as 'having no statistical basis in this, or any other, material plane of existence."

Praise the anon, for the early leak!
Seraphon op as fuck.
Can Flesheater Courts still do endless "summoning" in matched play?
>>47930748
are the Protectors and Decimators the same points as the Retributors?
What do you think came first, SCGT people testing with GW then making their points based on GWs? Or GW using a lot of SCGTs points and tweaking them?
How do I pick up sexy Inquistor girls, /tg/?
One arm under the shoulders, the other on the thighs or the crook of the knee. Preferably get them to clasp their hands around your neck.
>>47929930
With your buff man arms, silly.
>>47929930
Step 1: be Ecclesiarchy higher-up
Step 2: receive every possible benefit of political corruption, complete with fanatical yandere fangirls in power armor.
Is the Imperium truly beyond negotiation? Were they ever charitable or at least tolerant of other species who clearly had no intention or means of attacking them?
Yes. Sanctioned Xenos exist, once in a great while a whole species gets sanctioned and individual commanders aren't above cutting a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of truce with some species.
>>47928918
Wow, when you look at the two ships compared like that, the Star Trek spaceship is really, really efficient. Interesting that something so small could absolutely destroy the 40k spaceship.
>>47928978
kind of like "tiny, fluffy xenos president signs treaty with enormous cyborg wearing a tank decorated like a church" sort of deal?
