How come some people seem to think that Slaanesh is the least malign of the Chaos gods because he deals with pleasure?
The pleasure part is kind of a false lable since Slaanesh truly deals in excess and he will turn you into an asshole faster than any of the other three Chaos gods because nothing is ever enough. You can never stop and relax. Every experience has to excell the previous experience or you will feel hollow. Slaanesh compels you to try anything depraved as long as it gives you some kind of kick. Cooking and having your friends for dinner would be right up...

I think the current term is 'thirsty'
I like dicks.

What does knighthood mean to you?
Killing Lithuanians.

To stand as a mighty bulwark for the land, to serve with courage and honor, and to carry out my duty unto death.

Some guy in a crown hit you on the head with a sword, but not hard enough to kill you.

>>47758686
Not a bad thing desu as long as they don't continue with whatever the fuck the last expansion for DoW2 did.
I preferred the vanilla + expansion campaigns because they were more freeform in nature, and the equipment drop system was neat.

>"If we can get 10 experience points now, is it worth worrying about getting 100 experience points later?"
Depends.
>>47819115
Nothing in your statement says that the options are mutually exclusive, so no, nothing to worry about. We're still getting 110 xp in the end.
>>47819221
The hundred isn't guaranteed, and trying to gain it makes getting the 10 less of a sure thing.
Just Imagine a farseer seeing M45. They see a world totally at peace, humans having having let go of their hate, Eldar that have abandoned arrogance and working with other races without deceit, and Tau free of the ethereals and castes. The farseer then sees the Emperor of Mankind and Isha ruling the galaxy as a couple and that inter species relationships are common. The horror.
>and that inter species relationships are common
Waifufags get out.
>>47818029
>inter species relationships are common
Was with you right up till that.
A political marriage between the Emperor and the High Priestess of Isha, as a stand in for Isha, is all right and dandy but don't take it too far.
Drop that ans have the Chaos Gods gradually, between 41st and 45th millennium gradually shift and mutate so that their more positive aspects become dominant could be good.
Disciples of Khorne, although no less bat shit bug fuck crazy on the battlefield, are directable and can refrain from going after non-combatants and allies.

>Drop that ans have the Chaos Gods gradually, between 41st and 45th millennium gradually shift and mutate so that their more positive aspects become dominant could be good.
no, waifuism is better.
How do I damage the PCs to add weight to combat so the players take it more seriously without being a dick and penalizing them so much they will start cheesing it? They're beginners and the system is 5e but I'm thinking about something less mechanical and universal.
Perhaps a scar that aches ever so often or grabs the attention of the NPCs?
That pic makes me feel like you want to talk about anything but what you posted.
>>47817430
The duck are you talking about?
Roll fair, deal damage as written.
That's it.
If they can't handle the nerfiest edition of dnd yet, they can fuck off.

Chicks dig scars, if you make a girl that's interested in a PC scar you better make her a good one.

NAPs and alliances are at the players own discretions, but breaking either gives an "oatbreaker" penalty (-4t per roll as your troops feel disspirited fighting for you, and vice versa for any enemy).
Sillyness is strongly discouraged, while roleplaying is highly ENCOURAGED.
Kingdom...

Forgot to mention, when you conquer an entire kingdom you get to create that kingdom. Say, if I conquer all of High Rock, I can call myself king of High Rock, which will give me +1t/turn as long as I hold all provinces within that kingdom. You can only be king of one kingdom at a time and it can be usurped if someone else holds >50% of the kingdom. If your kingdom is usurped, you cannot create another one for 2 turns.
Oooh, ooh, I am just spurting with ideas today. Race bonuses:
Nords: "Jorrvaskr": Can call on the companions once per thread to autowin one battle against an enemy
Imperials: "Golden tongues": Can force an NAP with one player each thread. If they themselves break this NAP, they don't only get the debuf but can also never use the ability again.
Orsimer: "Berserkers": The Orcs can apply a morale-debuff to one of their enemies once every three turns with -2t. They have to be at war with them.
Altmer: "Aldmeri Pride":...

And just for consistency's sake, I'll add myself to the list of players, why not. I'll go with:

What's the absolute things you need for an imperial guard armor army?
I'm reading the newer editions and armies have got bigger now.
Good numbers, not overkill. Third Edition style.

Woops, It's suppose to be canon not cannon.

On the subject of forge world graia, where is it? what sub sector.
Because there are a few forge worlds called that.
>>47816630
That must be a pretty big cannon.
I've asked here and elsewhere what people would like to see and have collected said results in the following wall o test. Curious to see what has the most demand:
Part 1:
A Swords and Planets game.
Pros: It hasn't been done much, and I'm vaguely knowledgeable about the genre.
Cons: The genre is so old it's nothing but cliché, and modern audiences might find it somewhat offensive. I'd also be sorely tempted to subvert the genre which would offend purists.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit with the Toons as corrupting Mythos like entities
Pros:...

Who Framed Roger Rabbit with the Toons as corrupting Mythos like entities
Pros: No one has ever done this.
Cons: There's a reason no one has done this, i.e. mixing real life people with toon physics is a bitch to design.

Poker with the Elder Gods: Retired Investigators hold a regular Saturday night poker game, which is crashed by the Elder Gods who wish to show grudging respect for the old guys who regularly busted up their cults over the years. Shub-Niggurath is dangerously horny, Yog-Sothoth is a cheating bastard since he exists everywhere simultaneously, and everyone worries about Azathoth. The comfy chair you put him in near the fireplace and smooth contemporary jazz music won't keep him asleep forever.
Pros: It's funny, I love it, and there's nothing else like it. Plus...

Mobsters: Play a 1920's gangster mob.
Pros: It's almost unique. Could also have tons of expansions on playing gangs in various time settings and periods.
Con: Not sure if I know enough on the subject to pull it off, and not sure of demand. Also may piss off actual gangsters if I do a modern version...
The Carburetor Gods are Angry: Mad max/Car Wars style game in which the post apocalyptic world is ruled by the merciless carburetor gods who demand sacrifices to fuel/repair your vehicles.
Pros: it would be in demand
Cons: The supernatural aspect may...

Hey /tg/
Sorry if this thread is too gay, but I thought perhaps some of you might have experience of this. Feel free to call me a faggot, I think I probably deserve that.
I finished up GMing an Only War session for some of my friends overseas via roll20 and they really enjoyed it. Though it was a little difficult for me with the time difference, as well as being a first time GM, everyone enjoyed it a lot and I felt pretty proud of myself. After that some more people joined the group and we decided that our next adventure would be in Dark Heresy, I gave myself two...

Sometimes you just need to take a break from GMing.
Send your players a message saying that you can't make it next session because you aren't feeling well (which is the truth). Or tell them about your depression.
Maybe talk to your doctor/psychiatrist about this. They will be able to give you help that we can't.
Your health should come before playing a game. As fun as it can be and as disappointed as they may be, you owe it to yourself to take care of yourself.
Take a break, talk with your psychiatrist and therapist about it, and see how you can go forward from there with your mental health in mind.
And if you don't have a psychiatrist and a therapist: get a psychiatrist and a therapist. Depression is no joke, from personal experience.
>>47815106
>>47815106
I get anxiety / depression about gaming quite frequently.
I find that the best thing that works for me is to start building, whether I'm typing out scratch notes or copy-pasting doors into a dungeon, just doing something to feel like I'm putting work down, that feeling of forward progress, that's what gets me going.
The hardest part is getting started, procrastination is real, too real, I browse the web for inspiration and...

Why didn't the Orks fight over whether their machine was going to be named "Gorkamorka" or "Morkagorka?"

Because it's Gork and Mork, ya idiot.

I did not see another thread so I figured I would share.
Spoilers for Eldritch Moon start on Monday and Jimmy Wong is doing an episode on his facebook with maro. He posted a video teaser on his facebook today and this was the thumbnail for the video. It's a blurred image of what we can assume is what Nahiri is summoning. Could be Emrakul, could be the moon itself. Either way only a few more days.
Looks like an artifact.
>>47812229
Looks like it might have the same kinda frame as the devoid cards/expeditions. So probably Emrakul.
>>47812274
It's an artifact.
