Noble fa/tg/uys of the board: how do we turn this series into a roleplaying game?
Start by defining what the main focus of play is going to be, and craft the rules around that, rather than aping D&D.
Or just play GURPS.
>>46246705
I don't even know how to start statting some of that shit in GURPS.
Where would be a good place to start for someone interested in the lore behind Warhammer 40k?
Dawn of War

Start with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MeVxKZBOfM and then head over to https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Template:40k-Timeline and hit the expand function. Hit up the war in Heaven, Fall of the Eldar, everything pre-heresy, and combine that with what you learned from the video.
Search up the main armies (Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Chaos Marines, Orks, Eldar, Chaos Daemons, Necrons, Sisters of Battle, Dark Eldar, Tau if you want them ordered from important to not important) and give yourself enough background...

There are much more players than DMs in the world. Find a new group. If a player flakes without good reason, don't invite him again.
Stop being such a beta and talk to the 2 guys playing vidya
>>46247301
I tried to. I messaged them and got no response.
>>46247206
Probably. The game I was running had consistently low attendence. I'll probably advertise on gamefinder this time rather than the group being real life friends/roll20 applicants.
Would you consider this as the copyright violation, if you were head of GW?
If I were the head of GW I would be masturbating to my sigmarines
Alien looks familiar
>>46245549
Well, if I was the head of GW, I would probably be mastrubating. Possibly using Stormcast Eternals as a visual aid in said activity.
How would you design an interesting CCG where you may only play one card a turn?
>>46245144
Like Uno but with characters.
Board-states that fuck up everyone else and the winner is the least fucked player.
>>46245144
Interactive field where you play the creatures rather than just the "battlefield". For instance, having to assign a creature to the Hill, and being King of the Hill generates a Gem each turn which you can use to pay your creatures to use their special abilities. Also, mechanics to recur old spells during your turn.
How do you handle servant/assistant type characters in your games? People who can do things like counting the PC's money or carrying shit but aren't intended or aren't made for action? Are they exclusively GM controlled or can the PC's control them? To what extent can PC's control them?
Is the GM controlling them a warning sign that they're going to betray you or is just a given?
if your GM is regularly having trusted NPCs betray you it sounds like you have a shit GM, to be honest.
>>46244669
First of all, SPOILERS.
Second of all, PCs shouldn't control much outside of their own characters. There are a few reasonable exceptions (Extras in Savage Worlds, Followers/Cohorts in D&D, and WoD has similar things) but even within those I wouldn't give each PC control over much, and none would have more access/power than the character they play. Your GM controlling an NPC is not a bad sign at all.

>SPOILERSIt's a commission though?
What would a druid, a nature spirit, or a nymph from a crystal sphere (solar system) where everyone lives upon asteroid-sized cakes, cookies, cheesy bread, steaks, sushi, caesar salads, and other foodstuffs and travels via edible spelljammers be like?
Really fat.
You'd probably end up with one of these things: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Madolche
You do NOT want to end up with one of these things.
I assume you're referring to some anime or whatever, so why don't you tell us what you think instead of just using this thread as a stealth beachhead for /a/

No.

Once you go green, you'll never be clean.
Might as well knock her up, not like she'll get with a good human or elf after being with an Orc.
Post characters that would have made a better Living Guildpact than this dipshit

Anyone else into X-Wing Miniature game?
How do you prepare for tournaments, how do you train?
I stay on target
>>46240899
In order to get ready for a tournament, you must realize that several faggots are going to bring broken lists that they found on Reddit, another couple will run the meta because they are incapable of being even remotely original and at least one guy will bring a TIE swarm because 'muh Empire'.
In order to make a good list, think about how you would fly against it.
>Who is the most dangerous
>Is it based on a single gimmick? If so, is it easily rendered moot?
>Can you confidently fly the list?
Sheer piloting ability can shred even the most op lists. If you find yourself struggling to gage distances and where your ships will land, just plunk down some rocks on a table and start flying. As for determining where your opponents will maneuver, learn the dials and play a ton of games against different lists.
But most importantly, have fun.

STAY ON TARGET
I just bought the Necron starter box with the 12 warriors, lord and stalker.
I don't have the codex yet, but what I wanted to do is have my army be led by a "Rogue Necron Warrior" who's taken the place of the unit's lord. And I'm modeling it off of Peace from Wizards (Pictured).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do to modify Warrior to be sitting atop a mount like this and if there's an appropriate HQ I could use instead of a Lord?
I should add I'm not opposed to maybe using a tyrannid.
>>46239658
Skitarii Dragoon.
>>46239719
That works thematically pretty good.
I also want to have him have an on-foot HQ version I can use. Would any of the HQ's work well as a "seemingly mundane warrior"?
I've been thinking about getting into MTGO just to be able to play whenever I want in my underwear.
It'd be about $200 USD to buy virtual cardboard copies of my paper deck.
Just play in Cockatrice
>>46239262
Why are you hung up on that deck? Get something different, there are so many cards that are cheaper online than in paper. I bought gimped Legacy Burn for 20 quid, can play naked (underwear is for shitters) and still win.
>>46239262
WHY using any money at all on VIRTUAL cardboard when there are free alternatives like Xmage ?
why anon ?
