Alright, assuming I wanted to be as fluff friendly as possible, are there any GW vehicles for the Legions I could get? Or are the Deimos pattern ones the versions to be used in 30k? Just wondering.
>>48251763
Rhinos, Land Raiders, Land Speeders, bikes, etc.
Can I just say fuck Rhino-pattern vehicles? I hate assembling that plastic chassis, it's an ancient kit and it's fucking garbage. It's even more of a pain in the ass to paint than it is to assemble, and that's saying something. Even with the Deimos siding it's still fucking god-awful. I can't wait for the kit to be redesigned, hopefully with optional Deimos and Mars plates to slap onto it for 30k/40k.
What is a perfect way to ruin a barbarian character?
What do hollywood and popular culture commonly do to ruin the portrayal of barbarian culture or tribal culture?

How should interrogations be handled whenever the PCs have captured a prisoner?
I seem to notice most players are fond of committing the most brutal torture they can think of, regardless of whether or not they're supposed to be the good guys.

That's fantasy mixed with human nature. We want to hurt our enemies. In reality most people don't have the stomach for hardcore torture and would be sick on the floor long before they got to the mid-level stuff.
But there are hardened people all over the place too.

How would you do it?
>>48246975
Like this.
Humans are new to the world, in the not so distant past their rulers lead a great invasion into this world through some means or another and were for the most part defeated. Though there are some human kingdoms that persist in the remote places of the earth or close to the where the race entered the world, the vast majority of humans now live within the Elf kingdoms, integrating slowly, suffering some discrimination and growing their population steadily.
Dominant is in the only one or the most populated?
Either way, the elves would own everything, so there would be vast, sprawling, pristine cities of alabaster spires and flying buttresses, with aqueducts and perfectly-manicured forests surrounding them. The world would be a lot more civilized on the surface due to the elves being more long-lived and able to put long term plans into action.
Beneath the splendor of the cities though, sinister forces would be abundant. Lesser races would be either treated as second-class citizens at best or culled at worst. Elven...

There was a thread a couple days ago about Reign, the game by Greg Stolze. I was curious about how it played. Is it mostly just for kingdom games? Could I run a game just fine with an adventuring party using the Digest version?
The Company rules are scalable from small town cult to continent-spanning empire.
It's entirely possible to forego the Company rules, though, and just play as an adventuring party, although I wouldn't use it to replace D&D style adventuring.
>>48228913
I've honestly never even heard of anyone playing it, but lots of people have read it.
>>48234074
Well it's the ORE system, isn't it pretty close to Monsters and Other Childish Things and A Dirty World? I've heard of people playing those (monsters more than dirty world).
I would like to get in a game of Nemesis.
How would you run a Star Trek campaign? FASA, Last Unicorn and Decipher all released games under license, but all of them feel like generic sci-fi games.
I'm coming to believe that it's not a matter of system, but style. So, how to capture that lightning?
Any ideas?
>>48228233
Which series?

>FASA, Last Unicorn and Decipher all released games under license, but all of them feel like generic sci-fi games.
But anon, that's what Star Trek is
>>48228353
One of the ship ones (so not DS9). An 'adventuring group' doesn't quite fit. There's too much command structure for murderhoboes, not enough 'other stuff' to make up for it.
I suppose my struggle would happen in any naval military rpg.
Any players of MYFAROG here?

Read through it. Never gonna play it. It's trash.
Would playing a paladin be possible when you also execute the wrong doers after they have been through trial and found guilty ?
Would being a paladin also be possible if you are a vigilante and decided to execute someone in accordance to the law after the guilty has surrendered ?
Victim being evil of course.
This is for a future character of mine.
>>48255458
This being on the stereotypical lawful good paladin.
>>48255458
Here's a little trick I've learnt from three campaigns of playing as a Paladin.
Offer them ONE chance to surrender at the start of combat. Make it clear you will give no quarter otherwise.
Then you're not subject to having to deal with prisoners, because you can say: "I gave you a chance to surrender. Too late now, motherfucker."
Enemies never, ever surrender at the start. Doing this fucks over a GM who thinks he's being clever.
>>48255458
Pretty sure that is flat out oldschool paladin right there.
>Is he evil?
>Yes.
>Then killing him is entirely okay, don't worry about it. Even if he surrendered, he's evil, just fucking kill him if you want.
So what's the best way to do gun damage in pen and paper games? Damage by caliber? Damage by 'category' of weapon (pistol, shotgun, rifle, lmg, etc)?
Examples from systems that do it well are welcomed, as are suggestions and ideas. I'm just trying to throw something together for my homebrew because my group's excited for a more modern game.
>>48254113
Guns you can get shot with once, guns you can get shot with twice and guns you can get shot with threeish times. Three ranges, near, far, really far. Ammo counting, and one type of armour that counts as getting shot once for free/with broken ribs.
>>48254113
Well seeing as a 9mm pistol is using a different powder charge than a 9mm rifle, the caliber and cartridge matter.
>>48254215
This is a good start to go off of, thanks bro
>>48254241
Fair enough, I guess we can safely discount caliber type as the primary method of discerning damage.
Hey guys.
Did you know that Beskinski and Giger AREN'T the only artists that ever existed?
Pretty crazy huh?

Old Thread >>48243736
I'm making a homebrew race for two friends to play
Fluff: they are small and stout catfolk that live in mountains, they are usually guides, cooks or merchants.
They have a natural attraction to shiny objects and can easily tell fake and real jewelry apart.
Neither of my friends are munchkins/powergamers, but I fear that I either gave them too little or to many features, or a feature that will make them stupidly broken
Any advice of what should I change? Wording I should improve?
Also I realise I gave them a slightly better version of the half-orc feature,...

May be starting a character in a 5e game next month, is there anything I should know that I might miss in the starter kit? I have played 2e for 4 years.
anyone play on TTS?
got a few games in playing 5e and I love it
So if goblins have a habit of kidnapping human women from villages, would this make Gnolls have a habit of kidnapping human men from villages then?
They pick at random, taste is pretty much the same.
Also the only actual instance of someone getting kidnapped by gnolls that I can think of was woman.
Yes. Gnolls kidnap human men because Gnoll men are too effeminate and weak for female gnolls. Human men have sex with the females and cuck the male Gnolls if they want to or not.
>>48250661
A black woman at that
To be clear, I don;t want a game that makes me feel like an octopus fucking naking-raping self-disembowling Japanese cuntroach. I want to feel like a noble and manly man of China, or at the very least old Manchuria.
I don;t want every character to be a 90-pound waif who has super-strength for no reason and beats every problem through DETERMINATION!!1111, I want to be a badass Kung Fu master who hones skills specifically to defeat the styles of his enemies.

I think the standard suggestion for this sort of thing is Legends of Wulin. I think it probably gets closer than anything else to delivering the experience you're looking for. Lots of different martial arts styles, a setting with great flavor, fucking obnoxious action resolution mechanic.
