I'm a maths dunce so need some help with dice and percentages.
Say I have a game where I roll a D6. On a roll of 6 I win. On a roll of 1 I lose. On any other number I reroll.
I know the percentage of me winning on the first roll is 16.67% But what are the cumulative percentages of me winning on subsequent rolls if a 1 or 6 isn't rolled?
1/6
You either win or lose or reroll until you either win or lose? Why not just flip a coin instead?

Because that's a different game.
I've tried doing one of these before but it was terribly off-peak.
Vote for what caused the downfall of Society as we knew it, and I'll make it work.

Waifu wars destroyed society.
A group of worshipers decided thousands of years ago that the best way to control the world would be through Corporations so they built up a trade/banking corporation to economically get the world under its thumb. When they had enough of a strangle hold they started the apocalypse in an effort to wipe out all life on earth. But to make sure everything was dead they had a force stationed in a mountain sanctuary to cleanse the rest of the earth and make sure that every living thing was killed before the universe ended

Subject.
Personally I almost never get to do this in the games I play and it's really annoying.
It's difficult to write good adventures for characters of such high levels.
Best level spectrum is 9-15.
Afterwards you may as well retire your hero. He'll be fighting only demons and beholders and other silly shit from thereon.
The highest level I've ever seen in a campaign was 12, and that was because the game started there.
My rule of thumb for level systems is to take the full scale (20 in D&D), cut it to a fourth, and assume everything past that point won't happen unless the group is really good (so, no pick-up groups, no last-minute organized games, etc.). Anything past the halfway point I assume won't happen, period. Even with a really good group and no circumstantial fuck-ups, most campaigns just reach a natural, satisfying endpoint long before level 10.

AD&D 10th level is nice cutoff point

>Gain Control Edition!
This is a mechanic I came up with for my spider/drow faction. They also use alot of sacrifice effects, so the capture mechanic helps to fuel that.
>>46462043
Should I make it so that it can only block that creature? Hypothetically Hook-Nosed Shrieker could kill the attacking creature that it dealt 2 damage to and then block something else. Maybe instead I should have it "When ~ enters the battlefield, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn"
Or maybe the way it currently is works best?

Epic thread because why not?
Show us your legions, tell us your memories, etc.
Starting question:
Which do you prefer? E40k with its firepower tables, or EA with its unit individuality?
Answers of NetEA, Space Marine, or Adeptus Titanicus will be disregarded unless backed up.
>>46453681
Those 30k models look fucking awesome. Wish I knew how to get them.

Was going to bump with beginner's guide, but my phone won't find it in the uploader. Does anyone have any suggestions for a general copypasta?
Anyone else started trying out the epicAU rules for Heresy Era battles? Rules are available here: http://epicau.com/mw/index.php/Main_Page.
Unrelated, but has anyone else found that they're drawn to different factions in Epic than they are in regular 40k? Because I've really found that Imperial Guard, Iron Warriors, Nids, and the like really come into their own when the really big toys (relatively speaking) start coming out to play.

The Arcology acting as the capital city of Rioja has come under attack. A HAG working in concert with a Recon team attempted to kill off higher ranking members of the military in the capital. You yourself survived by the actions of your bodyguards, buying time for you to use a secret escape elevator. From there you've retreated to the Mons Abyla military base which is now sealed.
The HAG attacking the city has been all but destroyed, driven into the ground by a well executed ramming attack. The Frigate used by Captain Kymeri and the Rioja Special Response & Investigative...

Worried that this might be the rust virus you encountered in South Reach you've contacted House intel and inform them about the bio weapon.
"Do you believe this to be a bio war attack using the rust virus you've previously encountered?" the officer asks.
You're still uncertain.

You recall the isolationist neeran mentioned running into this kind of problem at one point as well.

It is rare that I ask of anything from /tg/, but I must request your assistance in this situation.
The last session of a D&D game my character killed another character under dubious circumstances and is now on the run from the law.
The two characters had a previous fracas in the tavern. My character was a human barbarian of such short stature that one would be forgiven for mistaking him for a dwarf. The character that he killed was a dark elf woman who was given to poor behavior in the form of rudeness, lewdness, sexual assault, and gambling.
What must...

While he managed to get along quite well with most of the inhabitants of this colony, his old prejudice from his army days still lingered. He would unleash a litany of horrible insults upon any elf or half-breed elf he would come across. He eventually gained a respect for some of the elves, though the rest he still considered filthy knife-ears.
Enter forth now, the drow woman, who the barbarian gave the title “chocolate knife-ears”. A woman of poor temperament, want to cause fights in the ranks, sexually...

Fortunately, due to good luck, the party was able to defeat the spiders, with only the unfortunate casualty of the dandy's suit, which was covered with green ichor, already soiled due to the sprinklings of dirt that the flame-skinned man insisted upon.
There was argument as to what to do next, but the party eventually agreed to burn the many webs of the cavern, with no gain to anyone.
After the dandy changed his pantaloons, the party continued eastward until the scarred elf began to speak of...

In the verbal melee that was ensuing, not a single man, nor elf, nor dwarve, or devil-man could detect the dandy who went behind the drow woman's back and ran her through with his sword-cane. At the sight of the blade bursting through her bosom, the elf-foe barbarian went forth and struck the dark elf with his fist, killing her instantly.
The majority of the party was shocked at this event, the devil-man and the man of burning skin buried her. In regret of killing in such an ignoble way, the elf-foe...

You and Aveli make it back to Ordon Town before nightfall truly sets in, and head towards an inn to stay the night, Aveli paying for you both. You can tell the girl wants to bombard you with questions, but thankfully she's keeping a lid on it to avoid drawing any extra suspicion. She still has quite a few, but mostly related to your training. You go long into the night talking about how Impa trained you, certain tricks you've picked up along the way, and your most recent encounters.

It's been a long time, and yet the tinge of excitement in face of the unknown is still there, its spark not diminished in the slightest, and good company to boot.
After saying your goodbyes and promising to be back one day to share the tales of your travels, you set off for Maner. You've been assured it's quite a distance actually and you've been advised to pick up your pace if you want to be there by tomorrow's noon.
Yes, Maner was built far enough from New Royo that the travel will require more than one day on foot. Moreover, no caravansary was built along the way to ease anyone's passage or to offer a comfortable rest in spite of the need for such a structure. However, considering the several small accidents that have happened as of late, you cannot blame a potential innkeeper for not feeling like building anything out in the wilderness.
There are still countless traces of people doing the same journey as you: long-dead fire pits mostly, and a well-travelled dirt road.
However, at some point in the afternoon you find the road abruptly stops, and the greenery of vegetation takes over, leaving you with no trail to follow.
Fortunately for you, the area is much more plainslike than the one in New Royo, with little in the way of tree and forestry, giving you a clear line of sight to the horizon. Maner is, nonetheless, just a tiny spot from where you are right now, and there is no way you'll ever reach that far in a single day. Hence all the food you've been given, which is nonetheless in excess of your needs.
Unfortunately for you there's no wind today and the heat seems to be getting worse since you left New Royo. You're sure it's just an impression, you're used to have a jungle canopy above you which shielded you somewhat, but still...
