Tell me about the current plans of your pc's, both short and long term. I especially want to hear about how they intend to deal with the big bad, and what they know about the big bad so far.
Next step is to sell the salvage of a space station to retrofit it to being a Research and Development location.
After, perfect a bioweapon that is basically "The Blob" as an airborne virus. At the same time start producing super morphine mixed with space meth.
The drug trade will fund the next step. Which is developing a Combat Platform for the Virtual Intelligence he has already. Once that is done, upgrade that VI to an AI.
Then, find some nanotech to upgrade the platform to self replicating combat mecha.
From there, I've won.It...

Short term he wants to expose a cult's existence and make it crumble from within through careful deception and infiltration. He has already risen through the ranks enough to get close to the supposed head of the organization. He has done terrible things to prove his loyalty. Or so it would appear...
Long term he wants to uncover the truth behind why all this occult activity has sprung up of late and has been working to create a network of spies specifically to detect future activity of this kind within the region.
As for the BBEG... He has terrible dreams...

Short-term we're in the past to "steal" (just pick up before they normally would be found) a shitload of God-produced energy crystals that are used up and rare as fuck in the future, to power a special 3-dimensional time travel spell dome that the goddess of artifice built for us.
Long-term? We're going to assemble the greatest, most powerful heroes from every legend that we can. Extremely ancient dragon lords, unmatched psions, a hobgoblin warrior-king who united the northern tribes through...

At what point is a piece of technology too advanced for medieval fantasy rpgs?
Do you care if it was around in roughly the real medieval times or would the optical telegraph fit right in despite being late 18th century tech?
>>47631362
basically if it COULD be made...
>>47631362
I don't care. Medieval fantasy is dumb. Medieval period as envisioned by fantasy RPGs is dumb. Give me late 18th, 19th or even 20th century instead, i'll play that in a heartbeat.
>>47631401
not the OP, but the issue with that is that when you put in even minor amounts of magic, suddenly a lot of stuff could be made.
>>47631362
That said, I'm fairly fine with "if it could be made" mentioned there, plus the bullshit magic might provide.
Lately, what I've been doing to sidestep things a bit in a campaign setting is that magic's been out of the game for the setting for centuries and has only recently comeback.
So...

What's the rules with the forge world rapier? I just want to know which ones that i'm able to field as imperial guard.
Someone did mention sometime ago something about a hull mounted gravity cannon for the leman but i'm unsure if that's true.
>>47630725
Do theses come in plasma?
>>47631019
No. Not yet.
>>47631019
Chaos ones come in Ectoplasma, which is better.
I'm trying to list all the environments I could put my players through in a fantasy campaign. There's:
Forest
Mountains
Desert
Snowlands
Swamp
Underdark
Volcano
Hell
Underwater
Jungle
City
Sewers
Dungeon
Have I missed any other classic location types?
Sea, shore, mangrove, tundra, glacier, plains, salt flat.

Sold my PC today and want to get into a new hobby. I recently got interested in tabletop, especially Warhammer 40k.Is it worth it, or am I too late? Warhammer Fantasy/AoS looks awesome too, but friends told me to stay away from AoS.
>>47630397
You should probably avoid GW in general, if you want to at least have a good tabletop experience.
Unless it's the only thing played in your area, then good luck.
>>47630397
>Is it worth it, or am I too late?
You're far too late. The best way to enjoy the 40k universe isn't by playing the tabletop. Play Dawn of War and the tabletop RPGs.
Fantasy is best enjoyed now by playing Total War: Warhammer and the RPGs.
If you're dead set about getting into a tabletop, look to Kings of War, its not!Warhammer Fantasy, Warmachine, or Infinity.
Pick the look and fluff you like best and roll with it.
>>47630441
Ignore this guy OP
The reason most people get into 40k is the lore or setting or design aesthetics. People like this guy is trying to get you into the rules and other games (which are good and fun and my actual preference but you want Warhammer).
40k isn't particularly a great game BUT the models are fun and so is the lore. There's a more fun, smaller scale version of the rules called Kill Team. There is a blog out there that actually improved the Kill Team rules. They are currently revamping the rules through committee (so it's taking forever and is wildly unbalanced and shit) BUT they kept the old rules before the revamp on their blog. These rules are in supplement to the main rules of the game. It can be found here. The core rules of the supplement have not been updated yet so they are under the main tab and the rules for individual armies are under the "legacy" tab.

My tip would be to get a Start collecting set and some model acrylic paints, very important that they are for models and not enamel paints because model paints use special pigments that are much smaller than in regular paint. If you were to use regular paint you would lose most of your detail.
Start collecting https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warhammer-40-000?N=102352+4294965381&Nu=product.repositoryId&qty=12&sorting=rec&view=table&categoryId=cat440130a-flat
If the faction you want isn't present then I am sorry to say that getting started may be a little more expensive.
Tell me about the time your character achieved ultimate power.
What level is she at that moment?

He imploded with psionic energy and created a new alternate universe that he is the primary god for.
he got the equivalent of stand then became a vegetable
So, I've done a price up of forge worlds items and its very expensive.

I can't wait until they bring out a plasma version of that.
why do you need so many fucking super-heavy tanks
at this point I would find a recaster that doesn't suck balls(Z does) and order the larger stuff from them
>>47629489
In reality i only need about one of the super heavies but ideally, i'd like more.
hey fa/tg/uys. You guys were quality players on 4chab and the last iteration on the serb. I thought you guys might be interested in this, hope to see you on the serb

Is there a setting in which humans are hunted and killed by all the superior fantasy races to near extinction?
Why don't you write one?

Sup tg. Are you up to open bootleg boosters??
My brother found them at 300 CLP each (0.5 dollars) and bought 4 for 1000 CLP ( like $1.7).
>>47628151
Back of the packs.
Oh, hell yes! Do it, OP.
>>47628207
Since you asked.
Here is first card of the first booster.
Get hyped
Okay, so let's say you have a King who wished that "everything he touched turned to gold". Now, this wish was taken literally, and everything, his clothing, the air around and inside him, droplets of sweat, was instantly turned to gold killing him.
The effect is hugely superficial. If you rub an object against his finger (prying away the gold first) only the area of that object the finger touch turned to gold. The greatest difficulty is having to pry away the gold from his skin just long enough for it to touch something.
What is the most cost effective...

>>47627801
grind him into dust, spread him over an area regather the material and subject it to electrolysis to separate the gold from the body, then spread the dust out again. Rinse and repeat.
Determine what granted him this wish and subjugate it.
Contain his body in a superheated Dwarven furnace, introduce a fuel substance into the furnace to contact the body, such as soot. Once it touches him, the gold will melt and pool into a drainage receptacle to be maintained by hearty dwarven goldsmiths.
Turn this whole facility into a temple and now you have the Altar of Infinite Molten Gold.
How often do you trade cards?
What was your most recent trade and are you satisfied with it?
Have you ever screwed someone with a trade?
The best trade I can remember was when a guy had just traded away a Drama, so he had just looked up the price. He said it was $5. I tried to tell him it was $10, but he said it was $5, so I traded him a Kytheon for his Drama and a Westvale Abbey.
>>47627302
I try to trade as much and often as i can. Usually, its stuff i dont need for other stuff i dont need, but i always get something another player will want and maybe something i need. Before i knew it, i had all of the cards for a few decks except for a few expensive pieces.
Traded a westvale abbey for a nahiri. I think I did pretty well.
I've read fluff about "Eldar ambassadors" to the Imperium, but I thought the Imperium kills xenos on sight unless they're busy killing other xenos/Chaos. Am I mistaken about something?
>>47627079
Just like in the real world, politics are a thousand shades of gray.
It is sometimes beneficial for the Imperium to work with the Eldar, hence why there are ambassadors between the two at the extremely high levels (such as the Inquisitorial level) of the Imperial government.
However, those decisions can't be safely made at the lower levels of society, so the "official" policy for the average person (and even regular nobility) is still to avoid at all costs, because they're almost...

>>47627079
The Imperium's overarching policy is that it the galaxy belongs to humanity and that every sapient alien race must be exterminated. However, that's completely infeasible in the short term, so they do entertain diplomatic communications with some factions. Eldar are one, Tau another. Generally, these relations are handled by the Inquisition and a non-militant faction of the Sororitas (Diagolus IIRC) focused on translation and interpretation of alien societies and languages.
>>47627079
>There are Eldar there
>Also a whole bunch of nids we both loosing against
>Let's speak to the guys who, well, can be spoken with
>But let's ask them to pick one dude instead of all of them and we send one dude too
Bahm, there you go anon, an ambassador.
One of the key aspects of mythologies that separates them from other works is that many myths and legends have multiple interpretations and can be recounted in multiple different ways. One version might mention Narcisus becoming a flower after death, while another might mention him rotting in tartarus for his foolish pride.
This is because mythologies are not written by single authors, but are added to over time from other sources and from other storytellers, creating stories that are vibrant, interesting, and often self-contradictory.
Lets see it /tg/, with its...

by that i mean like sometimes taking breaks to show whats going on on the villain side or some other third party that's not the party. or is this idea just shit worth only for diceless story-driven RPGs?
>>47626314
Can you trust your players not to abuse any OOC knowledge whilst playing?
>>47626314
>or is this idea just shit worth only for diceless story-driven RPGs?
This.
Story is from your player's perspectives.
You can have them see what the bbeg is up to via magic, or hear through rumours or something, but don't actively move away from them to show what's happening as it's just jarring.
Maybe have a diviner NPC who lets the players peer into a crystal ball during downtime to get a clue about the bad guy.
Or, maybe, make the story about what the characters do and not what the bad guy is doing.
