Your next game is coming up soon, why haven't you prepared yet?

'Cause I left my group, unless they are doing a certain campaign I want to finish off.
cause I'm a cunt, and I just freestyle almost everything
>>46443604
Because one of my two players is being That Player and I'm having a tough time figuring out why they aren't fired/imprisoned/killed.
How do you reconcile having both swords and modern guns in a sci-fi/fantasy setting being equally useful without relying too much on magic?
I want to build a setting/world where there is some sort of internal logic or at least reasonable arguments for having a character both using swords and guns.
>>46442947
>without relying too much on magic?
I don't, really. You can handwave it with power armor, better conventional armor techniques and materials to use on said power armor and energy shields, you can similarly handwave it with honorbound cultures, space combat being boarding operations where an intact ship capture is worth more than blowing the enemy out of the sky quick and clean, and so on.
I just say there's magic knights and wizards using enchanted pulse rifles,...

But can you not make any arguments for melee? I mean, you can always get bigger and better guns, but at some point your character might run out of ammunition, or simply cannot feasibly carry a bigger gun, or perhaps visibility and weather is a factor and you cannot really aim effectively. I always thought ranged weapons were largely ineffective up close, but with stuff like pistols I am not sure. If you are standing maybe half a meter from someone, could you still use your pistol effectively?
>>46443221
I theoretically could make an argument, but honestly without a little magical macguffaning I'm probably going to fall a bit flat.
So I don't try, kick everything to eleven and have fun without considering it.
The God Emperor of Mankind suddenly rises from his Golden Throne, fully rejuvenated from his wounds and with peak strength and intelligence. However, he does not retain any memory of what happened after he was interred in the machine, and does not know the measures which has been taken to keep him alive.
What does he do? How does humanity fare?

>What does he do?
Get clobbered by another Chaos Lord in 1v1.
>How does humanity fare?
Continues to deteriorate like it has been for thousands of years.
>>46442462
>Get clobbered by another Chaos Lord in 1v1.
Unlikely, now that Horus is gone, the emperor will remember the betrayal and no longer let himself be put in such a situation.
>Continues to deteriorate like it has been for thousands of years.
This might happen, the universe is a lot deadlier now than when the emperor roamed around.
>>46442342
He would not be happy with what humanity has done while he was out, that's for sure. There would probably be a massive new civil war as corruption is rooted out. Maybe only the space marine chapters would immediately flock to his side.
Here's a weird question - what monsters make good enemies for a sandbox game?
They have to be able to be recurring enemies, with enough variety to keep them somewhat fresh.
They have to have enough stories to tell with them or about them to make them useable in a variety of situations depending on the player's interests.
They have to be mechanically and narratively interesting.
Thoughts?
Pic not necessarily related.
What system?

Hey, aspiring GM here. I've been wanting to try out an A:TLA campaign for a while now. My party and I are pretty casual about roleplaying and we'd like to try out a simple system which can be easily, heavily homebrewed to the A:TLA universe. I'm looking for system suggestions/tips for the campaign and any anecdotes about an A:TLA campaign you've done!
Thanks
Avatar World.

How do you get a 7'+ tall dude in black power armor to sneak around, let alone several of them?
>>46437809
They probably have Corax's ability to mentally disappear.
That or everything in 40k is so ridiculously up-scaled that hiding a power armored clad super-human is no problem.
>>46437809
They're hiding from 7ft green giants yelling at the top of their lungs and shooting in the air, warrior poets with bright yellow space pope hats, terminators with glowing neon tubes, evil versions of themselves painted bright pink playing weaponized dubstep, shit like that. 40k isn't subtle, they're just slightly less bonkers.
Special armor sensors etc

Maybe the OP should include information on account creation? Quite a few people have been joining as guests and as a result having difficulty joining.

That's an idea.
Tell me everything you know about wizards, /tg/
All I really know are the common tropes and I want to really know what makes a wizard
>>46435465
Wizards can't cast any spell except for magic circle. All their spells are invisible extra dimensional ghosts which cast spells for them
>>46435546
This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE
Invisible extradimensional ghosts haven't been used to cast spells for generations! Modern wizards definitely don't need them.
That poster is LYING to you, OP!

Underground Elves complain about adventurer parties using the D-word.
If all extremes feed Slaanesh, why he is not the most powerful chaos god?
Because of his youth
>>46435389
Only in 40K he is the youngest, I think.
>>46437446
OP has a Slaaneshi space marine, so I assumed it was about 40k
Besides fantasy is dead now, so it's not like it matters anymore

Got to play one at the shop I where I work. My rares were pretty much shit, the best was the 3/1 vamp that's sometimes a Phyrexian Arena. On the other hand, I ended up with a sweet synergistic R/B vampires/madness deck that felt more like draft than sealed, so I did aight. My wins were by a lot, my one loss was a close one.
The enchantment that lets you turn extra cards into 1/1 lifelinkers is insane, better than many of the rares in the set IMO.
>>46435162
you mean this thing? I'll have to keep an eye out for it whenever we draft this set.

The Wizards conference is in town. Nobody in town was aware of this. The rooms in the inn are sold out, there's massive inflation. A magical shield over the whole village is erected, nobody can come in or leave for the whole weekend

An average commoner man's life has fallen apart as everyone around him one by one suffer terrible fates. People begin to distrust him and move away from him for fear of suffering similar fates. Some whisper that he is behind it. Having no one else to turn to, he comes to the PCs, with tears in his eyes, begging them to rid him of this curse.
Truthfully, an insane archwitch, with the aid of her coven, has selected him to be used as a physical vessel for summoning their dark god, and has jealously eliminated...

What if, like, since all the rooms at the inn are sold out, all the wizards cast their extradimensional-hotel-room-entrance spells on random villagers' front doors, attic trapdoors, cupboards, closets, and family heirloom chests?
The PCs have to be diplomats to keep the peace between a conclave of reality-warping magicians and the increasingly-inconvenienced villagers who are getting seriously annoyed that these wizards keep coming and going through their living rooms at all hours of the day and night.
