Have the assassins switch the baby for another baby and when s/he grows up. s/he tried to kill you.

Have it be a pleasant event where nothing untoward happen?
The PCs go on a quest to enter the dungeon, kill, the orcs, rescue the princess, kill the dragon, and take the treasure.

Do you?
Sure why not.
How charming is this hut?
>>47456248
i mean, what's of value in the hut worth plundering and why do i need to burn it afterward

Was it a game?

My thought was "material for some kind of trap". I'd have to know more about the situation. I'm just glad OP didn't provide a source to go along with his quote.

It was probably a religious area, though it's strange that it was underground so it couldn't have anything to do with the sky like many stone henges.
Does anyone know of any games and/or systems that would be good for playing a slasher-themed campaign, where the players are all trying not to get picked off by a masked killer? Think Halloween, Friday the 13th, Scream, etc.
Also, slasher campaign general, I guess.
Aw shit I do know the name of one but I can't think of it right now.
I'll try to remember it.
New World of Darkness 1e: Slasher?
Very relevant.
Perhaps I am naive but I believe that given enough time, that Age of Sigmar will be every bit as interesting and cool with great games and great fluff, as Fantasy Battles. Like most, I was very hesitant with Age of Sigmar, but perhaps it can be a great new direction of the CONTINUED Warhammer Fantasy universe.
>>47455561
Be careful, others think your opinions are wrong, and will use their own opinions to counter argue. You have been warned.

>I am naive
Yes you are.

I was wrong. You are either a troll or a shill.
>>47455561
It doesn't have the good draws of the old world, than was a very gritty one were normal humans had to battle vs horrors from the forest, mutants and that stuff, some times with the help of some mage (than could turn on you) or some what friendly non-humans (than probably were using them). It had plenty of colorful characters based on history and the art was awesome and very baroque but with sense. AoS is too insubstantial, isn't based in history and losing thousands of dudes doesn't matter because...

What are some of your favorite adventure modules /tg/?
Have you enjoyed playing or running published modules, or do you feel they are too restrictive?
Are there any modules you would like to play in the future?
One of these days I want to run Hall of Undermountain for my group. I just like the idea of a huge dungeon for a long adventure.
I've always wanted to run a premade but my players never stay anywhere near the plot. I've had to learn to be amazingly flexible in order to maintain ANY semblance of a plot.
I do enjoy reading through Rappan Athuk for ideas though
>>47455270
I like Old Man Katan & the incredible, edible, dancing, mushroom band as a good starting adventure for new players. It helps teach new players that you don't need to kill every monster you see to solve the adventure's goal and the characters are pretty charming.
>insurance
>bargains for the equipment and supplies>for a mere 10% of total loot worth
Why haven't you enrolled to the Adventurers Guild yet?
>>47454861
It doesn't exist since it's a stupid concept. How does an adventurer's guild work? What is the hierarchy, how do you determine who is a master and who isn't? Adventurers don't even have workshop's or anything similar.
>>47454905
If you take a typical fantasy world seriously then it's conceivable there would be an organization that facilitates the "Adventurer" lifestyle, similar tot he Knight Templar of the crusades: Handle your holdings and finances for you while you risk your life doing what must be done.
Plus if the kingdom sanctions the adventurers then they want to be able to pick through the loot and restore salvaged relics and whatnot.
>>47454861
Because my characters generally aren't suicidal enough to go on "adventures" willingly, let alone as a lifestyle choice. Generally they've been forced into it by some kind of extreme circumstances and are just hoping to survive through it this one time and then never again.
How would your party handle an outright loss?
I'm talking like, the rival totally steals your shit and runs and gets away.
Or they're forced to retreat against a fight.
Slap the DM irl.

Sack the DM and get a new one to do things correctly.

Please be sarcasm.
So I was thinking about it.
AI is considered Tech-Heresy of the highest possible calibre due to the whole Men of Iron incident and multitude of other things that comes with it, yet the Imperium uses much more simplified versions of it (like in the case of the Legio Cybernetica where a robot will do the same order over and over again unless a Tech-Priest will tell it to do something else and will not think for itself), or have the whole Land Raider Machine Spirit thing that has organic elements in it that gives the land-gunship some measure of sentience. Not to mention...

Firstly, let's note that Abominable Intelligence is almost explicitly artificially sapient, and the Imperium makes use of sentient computers all the time.
Secondly, Titans do, in fact, have Abominable Intelligence inside of them. Whether the AdMech is lying through their teeth or just don't know, we're not sure.
Finally, the processes that go on in the Human brain are both incredibly complex and hilariously inefficient for a system that only requires sentience, the AdMech have a better...

I thought the machine spirit was just AI but the Mechanicus were just too retarded to realize it or they branded it the machine spirit because AI is outlawed
>>47452984
There's a difference between Artificial Intelligence and Abominable Intelligence, but most people don't have the knowledge to understand that the former isn't anything special at all, while the latter tries to portray the stereotypical sci-fi "AI," as sapient machines. Machine Spirits are lots of things, from basic automated software and hardware programs to sentient routines within targeting systems and the like, but none of them (bar Titans) are Abominable Intelligence.
Anyone else here who enjoys doing this?
As a orc player its pretty easy to incorporate trophies on models, but im sure it can be done on other races too (chaos comes in mind).
>>47452162
I did it for a space marine once also it is good to do that for Ncromunda
Do you mean simply assembling them so that the have trophies on them or actually adding them over time with won batlles powerfull enemies slain etc.?
>>47454460
Adding them over time
Shadow of the Demon Lord.
What it does right
Combat damage is pretty flat. No modifiers really get added into it for the most part. An Axe is going to do the same amount of damage no matter who is using it (with the exception of a fighter who is focused on it).
Everyone can use advanced combat options like trip, grapple, etc. however, martial focused characters negate the penalty that comes with performing such actions. Still a wizard can totally trip a fucker with an dagger to ankle.
It moves fast, initiative is simple, and a static number to beat for challenges...

>The setting is super edgy.
This is not the game which is merges Warhammer Fantasy RPG 1st edition and D&D?
Had you played the modules of WHFRPG 1st Ed.? Man, there are moments in those which will give you nightmares.
The most soft one is a couple of halflings being in denial about their newborn being turn into a fucking aggressive zombie (claws and teeth included) and convincing the PCs that is just ill and needs medical attention. When you unwrap the baby from the comfy blankets cocoon, it basically jumps straight to your carotid....

So not so good for long campaigns?

SotDL has a spell that does nothing except make your dick explode into gore, accompanied with full artwork. If that's not middle-school tier edgy I don't know what is.
>the entire kingdom is being repossessed by foreign bankers whom the crown defaulted on
>>47451797
That's not a banker, it's a 2hu, you are being scammed.
If they have the military strength to do so I say let um have it. We'll likely be better off

So with this new art for Leman Russ we can see Freki and Geri clearly have something warp-esque going on.
We know they were both very intelligent, the only survivors (with Russ) of their pack and in 40k the tune priests can summon their spirits to aid them in battle.
Are Freki and Geri deamons?
>>47451709
No, they might have absorbed some of Fenris's and Russ's magical power.
Remember that the Rune Priests draw their power from Fenris itself and not the Warp. Any creature born from that world of pure elemental power might call upon it in his or her time of need.
>>47451709
Is he holding Frostmourne? What the fuck?
No rune priests get their powers from the warp, this whole "we get our powers from fenris" is just what they believe
I need some advice /tg/.
Our characters just hit 9th level in our D&D campaign, when suddenly we just happen to find a wing of wishing with a single wish remaining on it on a random nameless enemy. Thorough analysis shows that the ring isn't cursed, but our DM has spent quite a bit of the campaign throwing cursed items at us, and he has vowed to find a magic item my character will fall for. It's likely that anything I wish for will be interpreted in the least favorable way possible.
What should I do with this wish?
tl;dr
>curse-happy...

>>47451478
Sell the ring to someone willing to pay alot of money for a wish. Use said money to buy whatever you were going to wish for anyway.
>>47451478
This isn't the right question to be asking. The right question to be asking is "what were this nameless enemy's first two wishes?"
>>47451478
as a player from a campaign run by a curse-happy DM, just accept that the curse is going to happen and theres jack fuck you can do about it. Its probably part muh plotz. I wouldn't trust the check unless its a crit.
