Weapons and armor thread? Putting together a campaign and would love some stock images of items to load up on my tablet. Interesting g creature and knight designs are also accepted! I'll start us off with some holy swords.
Also I love ogre battle sprites and art as enemy sprites, they are just so timeless.
How about a Baratheon war maul

What's the issue? It basically is. Look at Ares vs. Mars and try to tell me they're the same.

If they wanted me to give a fuck, they would have made the first edition an actual game, rather than glorified campaign notes from the modified Exalted game they played at the office.

How do we flesh this out?
Is the spawn some sort of protean mimic that bursts through the chest?
>>47217128
Who said the mimic is the chest?
He's the door.
You know, the only door that leads out of the room?
You could always have the character slowly become a mimic/be taken over from a mimic within which might react to some sort of trigger word or action.
That is rather than having a chest burster mimic.
Stat him, /tg/

There are computers that exist down to 4K, and anything purely mechanical doesn't much care about the temperature (so long as it doesn't break). Hydraulics would even still work, you'd just need to use helium.
In theory, robots could colonise something at 4-6K. As for how you'd power them: Combust solid hydrogen and solid oxygen or fuse hydrogen.
As for how navigation would work in a lightless area, they'd use sonar or vibration sense.

What about deep caves or the deep ocean?
No sun, and yet, not frozen.

I once played as a really pissed off Witch Hunter who had a monumental beef with a Knight of the Inner Circle
So what I did was I went to his Quarters at a village we were housed in and made all kinds of checks to write perfectly in his hand writing in his journal and forged several pieces of evidence of him wanting to claim the Skaven are real to the entire Empire.
I then decided to dig a tunnel in his floorboard through the basement of the housing that was provided, I ended up cutting through some...

Sup /tg/!
Looks like I'm finally getting around to GM my own campaign! Problem is, I never really did that before, so I'm worried about screwing everything up.
What should I do?
What should I not do?
What's an appropriate first mission for (mostly) new players?
How much detail should I put into NPCs?
And so on, and so forth. Ask questions, share advice, and let's help each other get better at GMing.

A lot of this stuff depends on the system. It's also worth noting that storytelling is an artform. As such pretty much any piece of advice you receive will have some situation and way where it's better to go against it. Though there are some common sense things. Secondly: Everybody does it differently. Don't be afraid to experiment. Find a way that works for you and your group. Thirdly: All advice will be given on the assumption that you have a good group of players who aren't shiters. Sometimes...

Running D&D 5e for now. More specifics on the kind of game I want to run coming in a few minutes, typing.

Thanks. I've known those fuckers for years, so I'm not expecting too much shit from them.

So the kickstarter for The Dark Eye has been going for about a week and is at 55,000 $ right now:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1216685848/the-dark-eye-rpgenglish-edition
It's the biggest pen & paper system in german speaking countries and has been in publication for well over 30 years.
The system was quite bloated in the past, but with the 5th Edition they boiled it down to basics in a better way while keeping it interesting. What I like about the system is the fact that it feels more skill based and you can actually create the sort of character...

They summarize a lot of the main facts of the setting, but they are by far not complete.
The old "Realms of Arkania" games (Blade of Destiny, Star Trail, Shadows over Riva) as well as the Drakensang games and Satinav's Chains and Memoria as well as Blackguards are also all set in Aventuria
Hey guys, I'm planning on ending my current arc on a strong note and having a colossal plant monster be the final boss.
but i want it to be more than a damage sponge monster so i need to come up with weak points they can strike for massive damage... or something more logical like it has an opening after doing a breath attack.
do you guys have any experience with massive monsters? plant monsters? or basically how to make this guy a tough fight without just giving him more health?
as for attacks maybe those can use a tune up? you tell me.

oh, additional info that may help
- the plant has been known to basically eat magic, when it comes into contact with magic it is absorbed and becomes stronger
- system is Anima Beyond Fantasy

the only way to beat it is to hit its small, bandaged weak spot, which it only leaves open after it runs its head into a wall
it does this because it cannot see
Your Emperor desired to have humanity reborn as a fully realized psionic species that rules the stars.
We can make that dream of his a reality.

The Emperor desired to have Humanity be reborn as a fully PSYKER race.
Nice try, but Psionics are several tiers lower than the Big E and his Extinct Psychic Frogmen peers.

By turning humans into mountain dew.
My emperor decided to make mankind immune to prescience, so no one could track down humanity all at once, ensuring the survival of the species.

0. Take your 1st roll.
1. Have rough idea of what you wanna play.
2. Rectify concept with roll reality, even if that's scrapping how they fight try to keep the concept (low Wis wise monk) alive somehow. System and setting agnostic, can specify classes from favored games.
3. NO MERCY RULES. No other rule may override this rule.
4. Add challenge rules if you think it will enhance collective enjoyment.
In case kurfuffles arise over order:
Strength
Constitution
Dexterity
Wisdom
Charisma
Intelligence.
Or play point buy and actually have fun when you don't have to fight the system to play the character idea you wana play...

If a player's backstory's is that of an amnesiac, how okay is it for the dm to then fill in what they were before the amnesia occured?
>>47213125
No. Tell the player to stop being lazy and actually put the effort into making their own character. You're the DM, you're already making the entire world and plotlines within it, if someone can't be arsed to even do THEIR OWN CHARACTER, don't let them play.
>>47213164
That seems a little extreme
Here's what ya do. Ya makes a backstory like ya nermally would, cuz it's stuff that actually happened, then ya say "but me dude don't know nona that, cuz he's amnesiac"
With all the rich lore and cannon that goes into the Imperium, I am frankly stupefied at how utterly thin and preposterous the motivation for the Horus Heresy was.
Its just fucking mind bogglingly stupid.
So you're dad fucked off back to terra for a while and told you he had something he had to keep secret from you for while.
Did you ever stop to think how fucking preposterous this is? The Primarchs were fucking IMMORTAL. The emperor should have been able to tell them to wait another 10,000 years, it shouldn't have made one bit of bit of difference.

Horus was corrupted by Chaos by not 1, not 2 but 3 separate means.

I mean, just step back for a second.
Is the emperor a good person?
NO!
He is a fucking monster! He is everything that is wrong with humanity. He represents our pride, our selfishness, our arrogance. He is incapable of empathy, incapable of love, he places his own ego and his own self interest above everyone and everything.
He encourages genocide, fascism, war, tyranny, and endless, unfathomable HATRED.
He is the incarnation of order run amok, overbearing and uncompromising authority...

The primarchs had EVERY fucking reason to rebel, every part of them that was good and decent and human knew that they had been inducted into his cult of personality and that he was not humanities savior, but in fact its damnation.
He was not a just king, he had no right to rule save that right by which he took by force. The people never loved the emperor, but in fact, feared him, loathed him, spat on his name and cursed him in their dreams.
