So today i am DM'ing/Playing my first game of dungeons and dragons. It's 5E and the players (2, a guy and a gal) are complete newbies, so i'm handing them character sheets. I haven't planned an actual story yet, so feel free to give suggestions, but they're both semi-noble and trying to prove their worth.
Any tips? What should i expect?

You'll fuck, just be ready for that and have fun

Download Lost Mine of Phandelver and run that. It's great intro to 5e and RPGs in general, for both players and DMs.
Also you might want to get an extra player or two. D&D is intended for 3-5 players and 1 DM, so only 2 players might make things a bit tough on them. You'll still have fun if you're not shits though.
I DM a regular 2 PC game(Guy/gal). Also Phandelver is a great start and is how we got into the game. We have been 2 maning for a year now and its still a ton of fun. Just mix in their backgrounds a bit once they grow into their characters and the adventures will feel really inclusive and unique even if you are just splashing their backgrounds on top the good modules. Also encourage History/Arcana/etc checks so they can get accustomed to learning and investigating rather than smashing gobbos. Also with smaller groups you can have NPCs join to fill the gap. Its honestly a lot...

/TG/ I need your help.
I really want to get into paper RPGs, but I'm just too green and lost.
I tried to find group, but my town is too small, so not chance to find group. I want to find some small group on net, but I have problem - where I should start.
Any tips will be good at first. Pic not related.

/tg/ groupfinder threads, Roll20 and the dozens of other /tg/ related sites around with forums.
Pick something easy like D&D or PF. Find out what kind of storylines, characters and action you like, then lurk in PDF sharing and complaint threads to learn the ins and outs of various systems.
Once you have a fair idea, grab the rulebooks you want and update your gamefinder, r20 and forum posts to reflect the systems you now know and want to try out.

For finding people to play with theres a finder thread right now >>46990420

Why are you surprised?
Both are ancient gods of war. It's only natural that they would look similar if they both have the same magic emotion power source. Khorne himself looks very orkish by how much orks inadvertently worship him.
>>47003113
On the flipside, you can't say it'd be the first time the Eldar unleashed an agent of Chaos on the galaxy. Granted, the last time it was accidental, but because the last time was accidental, would it be such a stretch to imagine them subconsciously manifesting Khorne's agents in their worship of Khaine, and letting their unending hatred for the younger species fuel the psychic energy they put into creating these Avatars?
>>47003021
Khaine and Khorne are two letters away from being the same thing, what did you expect?

i hate how they gave up on age of legends and didnt even make mass paperbacks from the new novels, so like 5-7 novels look like complete dogshit in the shelves.

Not worth the paper they are printed on, there are few things as bad as Warhammer fiction.
GW don't make metal figures anymore?!
The durability, quality, and heavy feel of metal figures was one of the reasons to justify the increase in cost over the plastic starter stuff.
>>47002278
GW has mostly phased out its metal line, or is bundling it up and selling it for those who want to pay for it.
If you want a company that produces purely metal figures, Corvus Belli's Infinity is the way to go. Otherwise you'll be using OOP or third-party miniatures.
Ironically, I'm pretty sure metal is actually cheaper for small producers, it's only when you get larger does plastic become a cheaper option.
>>47002278
Metal is shit, a bitch to clean and even worse to convert. Also, try casting something like the new weirdnob shaman in metal.

Are there any games similar to this one where the players play as gods or aspects of the universe (lust, pain, greed, etc)?
Preferably rules-lite, if such a thing exists.
I saved this one forever ago.
Never played it.
Has anyone even actually played Nobilis?

I've played the edition in OP's pic.
I tried to do it yesterday but I'm retarded and I did it at a time eveyone was sleeping. I tried to do it in /qst/ but there's too few people there, so I guess I'll try again.
Boom, woosh, space noises.
A wizard transported you and a bunch of other fa/tg/uys into a mysterious archipelago. You appear to be next to a creek, where leather tents have alredy been set. The lands around the rivers are relarively flat and grassy with some trees, with forests to the West and the Southeast. The river bifurcates, one side leading to a large lake, the other to an...

What should they do first?
In order:
Get a fire going
Gather some sharp rocks to cut wood and make tools
Scavenge for whatever is edible or eatable
