I have a problem.
So, I'm in the campus Roleplaying Guild, I'm a senior DM because even though I've graduated I still live and work in town and run games for the college kiddies. We've had a lot of triumphs, a few failures...mostly during the era of 4e...but I've never encountered any shit like this and I'm profoundly troubled.
So, I've got my group together, a good mix of ages, genders, and sexual orientations. The rest of the players all turn in their characters. Tiefling Sorclock, Kitsune (uses Half-Elf for stats) Rogue, Halfling Cleric of Body Positivity played by my GF, Dragonborn Paladin. Then this freshman, the last guy to join, hands in his sheet. Guess what? It's a fucking human male Fighter. I asked if he was a transman, he said 'Nah'. I asked if he had demonic, fae, or draconic ancestry. Same reply. Feeling a growing sense of worry, I inquired whether this Fighter was going to multiclass at any point. He said he didn't think so. Finally, in desperation, I asked what ethnicity his character was, hoping for at least some minority representation. "Sort of Scottish", he said, and I felt my heart sink for the future of the hobby. Already knowing that I was going to have to drop rocks on this character and teach him how to roleplay properly, I looked through his inventory...and that's when I saw it. He had a name listed, and in parentheses (elvish indentured servant, noncombat). A fucking slave! In 2016!
So, I can kick him from the group after having his character killed in a humiliating way (which I'm definitely doing), and I can blacklist him from the Roleplaying Guild (which I'm definitely doing), but somehow it doesn't feel like I'm doing enough. I could steal his bike or kill his cat or something. What should I do?

Torn between mourning the alleged loss of Hal and investigating Cicero's very good point about his trustworthiness, Rene and co. warp someplace they can properly prepare to storm into bandit territory with the hopes of coming out alive with their leader unscathed. Make sure young Sara (even though she's only a couple years younger than Rene...) is properly equipped for the battles ahead. By now, they're certain, however Methodius' siege of the castle ultimately played out, it's long over by now.
Receiving reports of a boat matching Adam's memory of Alfred's old smuggling vessel, docked on a small isle housing an impressive manor, Samson's group took a brief detour to the island home of the late Director Waldrick. If the appropriated infamously-fast ship was truly there, Adam reasons, it will more than make up for lost time with how much faster it is than even Adelais' flagship. Not that he doesn't trust Adelais to keep her own minions in line, but he's certain to emphasize to them that they are NOT here to rob the place, merely collect a boat that belonged to Adam's old crew to begin with and move on.
Several days earlier, Dyrus and the rest of his mother's now-royal army were storming every gate possible of Methodius' castle, all in the hopes that what they were doing would result in Methodius having zero chance of escape. As they push further into the castle, they grow wary of how few Deadlords have shown themselves, growing ever more certain that Methodius is keeping his most able undead allies to his own side. Dyrus is still caught off-guard by recent familial revelations, but hardly enough to distract at this key moment!
>A. Be Dyrus
>B. Be Samson
>>47881026
>A. Be Dyrus
>>47881115
Dyrus' group, storming the front door, consists of himself, Via, Laurise, Darren, Fortune, Doran, and Felix, alongside a few of Fortune's men. Flying units storming the castle from higher points and others just taking different entrances to the fortress.
You take over as Dyrus as he fends his way through a sea of bonewalkers, watching over his grandfather to make sure he doesn't die.
As you begin to grow suspicious with how, besides some dracozombies dispatched right at the front gates, your doubts are sated by the arrival of further champions.
You recognize the fell form of Director Cato, even as pale and lifeless as it is beneath her cloaks, and a Sage wielding Arcfire approaches in front of her. Canis and Ovis, you would respectively discover them to be called in time.

They waste no time obstructing your paths, and your mages in turn waste no time readying their own spells, Laurise her trademark Dime Thunder and Felix his Aura. Fortune draws her Devil Sword, and Doran and Via point their respective Steel Bow and Silver Knives towards the various approaching monsters, Darren lifting up his Silver Axe. As for you...
>A. Make sure grandpa doesn't try anything heroic again
>B. Keep the little guys off of them
>C. Attack one of them yourself! (specify who/what weapon)
>D. Write-in action
>E. Just watch what happens
(as a reminder, Dyrus currently has his Royal Axe, which is a Wolf Beil clone, a Hand Axe, a Hammer, and a Heal staff)
Hey, its me, Memerakul! What? You were expecting some cute Marit Lage or Elesh Norn? Too bad! Now excse me, I have to go drink some more wheenie white tears because I killed their waifus.

So far I hate this set.

>Mfw I was the one to introduce something similar

>FUCKING HOW
But I digress, here's another player's statement:
>It begins
>We make characters to fit his world
>Reasonable backstories, nothing extreme, worst was a Dwarf Knight with a distaste for partying
>DM complained immediately
>Retcons our backgrounds without asking us
>Tells us who we are, insists on renaming our characters

>But all I asked was to describe what they do if they can, to keep combat flowing and entertaining
>Penalizing players for not describing how and where they slash an enemy with a sword
There's more!
>if any of us offer the slightest criticism he goes full nuclear
>continues to criticize when anyone else DM's

>>47879206
Never said I penalized, I said the current DM was like that
>>47879245
>>instead opts to completely ignore entire attack rolls and skill checks if our Fluff isn't good enough
>>Mfw I was the one to introduce something similar
>>But all I asked was to describe what they do if they can, to keep combat flowing and entertaining
>Mfw I was the one to introduce something similar
Sounds like he got the idea from you. And you're pretty clueless if you thought increasing ACs if people didn't roleplay their combat rolls well enough would actually make combat flow.
If you were tremendously wealthy, would you employ a private game designer?
>>47879016
No, I'd rather spend my own time designing a cool game.
>>47879016
No, I'd just do interesting shit for real.
If I was tremendously wealthy, I would retire and simply be my own private game designer.
This thread is for discussion of Broken World, the powered-by-Apocalypse-World RPG made by Abbadon to be the RPG companion to his wonderful webcomic, Kill Six Billion Demons. In his own words,
"Broken World is designed to be run as a set of extraordinary and powerful characters overcoming ruination in a vast, multi-dimensional fantasy setting. Each game is designed to follow the characters as they struggle with a broken world.
The core world of Kill Six Billion Demons is a multiverse - filled with hundreds of thousands of cultures and thousands of races, along with angels and devils. They all interact through the ruined and holy city of Throne, the hub-city at the center of all creation. Each world is a physical space that can be traveled to by means of a King's Gate, which connects to the multiverse-spanning King's Road. The road runs through each reality, and the Void Between Worlds, a great emptiness outside of creation."
It should also be mentioned that there is also involved the septpartite cabal of interdimensional mafioso sorcerers running the rotted Divine Corpse of the universe, as well as their infinitely-complex and unceasingly scheming intermediaries the Guilds who squabble over their scraps, and the big swirling bowl of mess and scum at the bottom of them all.
But if the bones of the universe are to be broken, then let us not worry ourselves with who sits atop the body; instead, let us drink with mirth the divine marrow that spills out! After all, everyone knows that, no matter who stamps around in the heavens, the true name of God is I.
Please keep in mind that any discussion in this thread of the comic Kill Six Billion Demons or of its creator should be only in reference to the RPG, and any other discussion should be taken to /co/.

I'll also be dumping cool pictures from the comic so as to give the thread a feel for the series.

Fair enough.
Is there any more badass faction that Warriors of Chaos?! They are just unstoppable like real vikings! Why would anyone play Empire?
>>47878181
Canons
You made a thread last week with the same file name and size saying how much you hated them. If you're going to falseflag, at least put in a bit of effort.
Terrible thread, but I am a fan of Hordes of Chaos. They're definitely one of the best things to come out of WHFB. And not all that much like real Vikings.
Is this evil?
>When you defeat a foe in combat, reducing them to zero hit dice, you
may choose to subdue them if using a non-lethal attack. Such a subdued victim revives with 1 hit die and forever
afterwards is subject to your Beast gifts as if they were an animal.
>>47878037
What's a beast gift?
>>47878129
My massive druid dick.
>>47878037
Generally speaking forcing some one to be under the influence of something for ever sounds pretty evil. I mean there are exceptions but you general have to be a pretty massive dick to deserve some sort of permanent punishment.
Help me out, /tg/. I need pirates. Not lanky, witty Guybrush pirates, but big, scary captains.
I'll put up what I've got.
Your character needs to escape and there's no stairs.
Are they able to?
>>47877520
Grapples Pikachus and tosses them out the elevator.
>>47877520
>no stairs
The fuck kind of giant emergency hazard is this building?
>>47877875
Antagonist HQ. He doesn't care for lives of his henchmen. And he has his own escape module for any emergency.
I have a friend doing a conversion of Savage Worlds to accommodate a RWBY game. Has anyone worked on this and have ideas? He'll be around to comment on what he's done so far.
Main focus is:
-Weapons
-Semblance
-Monsters
-Dust
-Edges
-Misc. Gear

What is the difference between a gnome and a hobbit?
Gnomes are faggots.
>>47876524
>Halflings/Hobbits are tiny humans, with some extra hair.
They typically get a DEX Bonus and CON Penalty.
Halflings are boring as fuck.
>Gnomes have funny voices and big heads, and play with tech and magic a lot. They blow things up, build machines, keep badgers as pets, have the ability to talk to burrowing mammals as though they were people, and hang out with dwarves/coexist with dwarves in dwarven kingdoms.
They get a CON Bonus and STR penalty.
Gnomes are amusing, but also kindof obnoxious.
You might as well be comparing humans and orcs. Aside from a size similarity, there are basically no commonalities.
If I allow either one when I GM, it's Gnomes.
Hobbits have hairy feet. Gnomes have illusions.
I think Chaos would be better off as ''united'' in the sense that Beastmen, Daemons and Warriors wouldn't be their own armies just a diverse horde that would still infight a lot.
Also I'd like to point out that Beastmen are cooler than Warriors and if you think otherwise you should go fuck a blender.
What was 6ed?
>disgusting goatmen with a rigid caste system
>badass not-vikings where if the gods favour you or you're just badass or bloody-minded enough you can rise up
How about you go fuck a blender, goatfucker
hello
i was problems with basing my Infinity minifig - the umbra samaritan - no matter how i place on the base it will trip over, and the only way i made it stable was by attacking a metal sphere right behind it - do any of you have any better ideas?
>>47876174
I am not familiar with how exactly Infinity bases look like but for Warhammer bases you can glue small coins or fishing weights on the bottom of the base (opposite side than the model leans).
i have actually turned the figure b 180 degrees, so that the base is directly underneeth the center of mass, so far its stable, without the sphere
>>47876366
...you seriously didnt place it like this first?
>Be a cunning bugbear
>Get about two dozen goblins and a few wolves to serve you
>find a nice spot properly distant from major settlements with a nice road that can be raided on different points regualry
>perform reasonabely well
>find an abandoned cave system, kill the owlbear inhabiting it, get a lair
>has water, is dry, can be reasonably well defended, except for one problem
>It has a single entry
Tl;dr: How would a smart goblin warchief remodify the lair to have a chance against a group of stubborn end well equipped adventurers that may wonder into the region eventually?
Take a page from the Dwarf's book (probably stolen): dig deep and dig greedily.
>>47875683
I don't actually like it being a single entrance affair--poor circulation of air and no escape route. It makes it too easy to trap you and too easy to smoke you out.
>>47875683
Dig out another passage. Duh.
