OOC - the GM.

He may also be a furry, jury is still out

>What kind of weird alien technology and space travelling races have you got running around your fantasy setting? Have your PCs ever travelled to other planets?

There are aliens races on all the planets around earth and they're mostly devious. Players haven't made it there yet but aliens on earth are fucking with them. I'm thinking that at least some places like the moon will have breathable atmospheres and full on societies of weirdos.

I don't have my own setting yet, sadly. When I do, I'm sure there will be aliens in it.

Hey, /osr/, I know many of you prefer LL Advanced over S&W Complete. Why is that? Not trying to start our own "edition wars." Genuinely curious as I really am enjoying S&W Complete, considering buying the book, but if there are good reasons to choose LL instead, I'd rather know before I invest real money.

Someone asked about it last thread, so I'm reposting the right half of my frankensheet.
It's just LotFP's encumbrance being divided into base load (which is 5+STR with an additional +5 if dwarf) and encumbrance boxes with oversized items taking up a whole box (marked off by writing it down in the middle)
It's far from perfect, but I find it helped cut out the unnecessary description of how encumbrance works.

Anybody playing in any games on or around D-Day? My FLGS is running Firestorm: Overlord but I must admit I'm not that familiar with it. Anyone ever played it before?

>>47419100
Oversaw one, played two airborne missions recently. The rules are pretty simple, but it takes a lot of effort for the Defenders to win with the constant recycling of attacking troops. If the Attacker knows what they're doing reasonable, they can easily score a 4-3.

>>47419100
Never played a FIrestorm campaign, but I have played a D-Day game themed around Juno Beach two years ago.

We'd set up the table on june 5th with three of us together, pooling our collections.
The two other guys played that day, resulting in a German win.
On the next day, I played another round against the German player.

In that game, some less-effective defensive placement allowed my AVsRE to move up fairly safely on one flank, breaching fortification after fortification and pushing into the hinterlands supported by infantry even though my Shermans were getting stuck on the soft sands of the beach.
The StuGs trying to reinforce made things a bit scary for a few turns, but the breach in the coastal defenses was already too big at that point.

It was a lot of fun, with some interesting mechanics and a very different feel compared to regular FoW games.

I'm not disagreeing with you -- your general point is that ranged jack spam doesn't do as much damage as one would hope (at least, that's how I read it), and it just so happens that an obvious target (and a melee jack that's going to get spammed) is impervious to it.

I think Harkevich is going to run better spamming melee jacks, whether Mad Dogs, Marauders, or Juggernauts. Mobility + Reposition is a nice bit of support for a melee jack, because going full ranged...

If jackspam is gonna be the new meta then bane thralls still have a purpose. Jacks don't get enough attacks against them and bane thralls still eat armor for breakfast.

>>47522551
That is, unless you drop them into ranged-heavy jack spam, which is what Cygnar will most likely run.

Don't you mean Catachan

No. Look at all the fucked up mutated wildlife on Caliban, it's totally Australia.

>>47514434
Nah, Caliban was Fantasy Europe. Vast dark forests full of great beasts. Knightly orders. All that stuff.

Cretacia is probably closer to Space Australia.

>>47501886
Of course not.
In any situation in which it's helped, you've cheated.

>>47501886
>sometimes I manaweave and just forget to shuffle
What a retard.

>>47501886
I don't mind mana weaving ad a superstitious ritual, as long as it's not actually done in front of the opponent and keeps them waiting. If it makes you feel better, and you sufficiently shuffle after, I don't mind if you do it before the tournament, or if you finished your game and the other people are still playing, but if your opponent is sitting in front of you, don't waste his damn time with that shit.

Energy is always worth fighting over. Maybe have it be a limitless source of energy since it draws from the planet's geothermal reserves.

It gives control over the Elemental plane of Earth.
It quadriples all stats of a being, turning them into super-%speciesname%.
It is guarded by a shitload of dragons, they don't tell why is Heart important but it should be reeeeally powerful if even dragons sacrifice themselves to protect it.
It's STC, or piece of alien technology that allows to control other mechanisms left by aliens/Predecessors.

Powerful enough?

So I've never played a game of 40k, but I know the fluff a bit. I'm a bit confused as to how they balance armies vs the armies they are specifically fluffed against. An example of what I wanna know is how do they balance Grey Knights vs the daemons they are apparently so good at killing.

You run again, but this time aren't able to reach the same level of speed.

"Nine point six seconds," Master Roshi announces. "Now, Tofoo, do you think this means that eight point eight is the fastest you can do?"

"Of course not!" You tell him. "One day, I'll be even faster than you are!"

Master Roshi laughs. "That's the spirit! Now, do you boys understand?"

"Yes, master!" Krillin and Goku say together.

No, because things like "geek" and "nerd" have lots of different meanings, and I don't like to be categorized as a certain type of person

>>47523456
How do you feel about people that identify as a geek/nerd?

>>47523716
The same way I feel about was majority of people, somewhere between mild disgust and total contempt.

It's not your fault Foxfire. My "Fathers" know why I'm pissed at them. It involves you tangentially, and would have come up anyways, with or without you.

"...Oh." Fox replies sadly. "I thought I was responsible..."

"It's not your fault." You say. "I told you that already. Its not your fault and you're not responsible."

"But it involves me?"

You sit crouch down next to her and look out the window. "What are you looking at anyway?" You say to change the subject.

"Oh, nothing." She says. "Its just that there isn't much to look at here." She has...

Marines having the same BS as the most elite regular humans makes perfect sense, honestly.

Less sense is veteran marines having essentialy the same statline, and of course this idea that there's anything wrong with scouts having WS/BS 3. The average marine scout is explicitly -not- as experienced as a schola progenium graduate.

Where do space marine tanks come from?

Surely they don't always use thunderhawk transporters...

I made several homebrew weapons actually.

Alchemist Canister Gun
2-handed firearm.
Ammo is 1 dose of either Alchemist Fire, Liquid Ice or Acid.
Reloading takes up a full round action. (Its only a standard action if you're an alchemist, who are automatically proficient with these.)
Misfire chance of 1 (has a chance of splashing the contents all over you instead)
The contents are loaded into a chamber that fires the liquids as a jet instead of as a thrown weapon.
It has two firing modes:
Spray Shot (DC 16 reflex) deals 1d6 to everything in a 30ft....
