What's up with the Enslaver plague? Were they daemons or something else entirely?
>>46240147
If it comes from the warp it's a Daemon
Enslavers are just Daemons that aren't aligned with any god
>>46240156
Wrong.
The Enslavers are physical creatures with flesh and blood. They are not made from emotional energy. They can exist naturally in real space with no issue.
They only spend a part of their lives in the Warp. This suggests that they are not native to the Warp.
>>46240179
The lore says they came about because of the War in Heaven, though.

You are Brianna la Croix, increasingly uncomfortable with referring to yourself as a 'journeyman' necromancer, and your liberation of the Roost is already turning out to be full of stress and bullshit.
This is starting to not even be surprising any more, frankly.

"Nate, guard the door," you tell him. You dig your freshly-restocked case of cigarettes out of your coat with a heavy sigh and take one of the horrible smokes from it. "From now on, I'm the only smoker you have to worry about," you promise. "I'm nice, even if my tobacco isn't."
"You need to leave," the elf man begs, again.
"Not just yet," you tell him. You light your cigarette and take a deep drag that you let out through your nose. "Those chains on the far side, they're trapped?"
The man nods. "They clamp around your neck and deliver a sedative."
"Efficient. My name is Brianna la Croix. I'm here to make the Roost right again."
"...Rowan," the elf man says, shakily. "Formerly of the Cornucopia."
"Elves aren't common in the Dungeon," you observe.
"There's been more of us of late, to our detriment," Rowan murmurs. "I can tell you more about it later. Lady la Croix -"
"Bri," you correct, mildly.
"/It is not safe here/," he begs, again.
"Tell me about those brands on your faces," you ask, patiently.
"They mark us as the proprety of the Lush," the elf woman speaks up, bitterly. "His workers and playthings, and those of his warriors. He sold us like chattel to gain harpy soldiers and then the rest of that murder was driven out, and now the Smokers own us."
"Who are the Smokers?" you ask.
"Keep asking idiot questions and you'll find out."

Is fantasy inherently romantic?
I love enlightenment themes, but I prefer the fantasy aesthetic
Are there any settings which reconcile the two? If not, how would you do it?
Victorian setting with technological advancement and spiritualism.
>>46238511
>think "Oh fuck this thread again"
>realize anon is talking about literary movements
Tolkienian fantasy is heavily romantic yes but you can.move away from that easily. The trick is to not elegize ye auld farming days when everything was idyllic and people lived in peace. Generally Dark Fantasy settings do this well, but pass up on the Optimism and progress of the enlightenment for "everything is shit forever, when it used to be great when demigods rules the world" or some shit.
>>46238560
The victorian era was deeply romantic m8
So why are YOU angry about elves?
I disagree with their school-zoning policies.
>>46238327
Because they won't let me FUCK them.
>>46238327
They're degenerate scum.
This might not be the correct place for this, but I can't think of any other board that would suit this better.
Historically, could a scimitar inflict as much harm as a longsword? Was a longsword superior? Can the two swords dish out roughly the same amount of damage?
Additionally, how were they used? Is the method of using each of the two significantly different? Obviously, they both require great skill to use effectively, but is the longsword more reliant on force of strength, rather than precise motions? Or are their required methods mostly the same?
>>46237956
They're both sharp sticks. Damage isn't quantifiable into hitpoints.
So y'know. Whatever. You stab or slice the bastard you want dead until they're killed.
Probably overthinking this.
>>46237956
scimitars were primarily used as cavalry weapons and, as you can tell by the shape, primarily slashing weapons, while longswords could be used in more varied manners
Scimitars for less armored, long swords for more armored.

Didn't see a general up (and if there is one up they didn't add the proper Subject line).
So I'll start with the question I was going to ask in thread.
Anyone DMing CoS have a clue where my players will go after getting their fortunes told?
I want to have some maps ready for them tomorrow, but I don't know what to build.

Sorry, wasn't in the last OP.
D&D 6E comes out, and it's an all new system.
What sorts of mechanics would you be happy to see dropped?
What sorts of changes would make this Not Dungeons And Dragons Anymore?
Common cross-version D&D stuff to get you started:
> d20+mods vs Target for attacks (possibly for everything)
> Ability scores
> Race / class / level
> Vancian casting
>>46237112
> Ability scores
D&D without ability scores would result in autists burning down the WotC headquarters.
>>46237339
But that's the one they most need to nuke.
Change the alignment system a lot. I don't want it gone because alignment is very real and very important to the cosmology in D&D, but it seriously needs an update.
I would suggest something like a series of polar beliefs similar to that Camelot system, the name of which is escaping me at the moment (if its actually Camelot I'm gonna kill myself), but with numbers where one end is, say, -5 and the other is 5 with 0 in the middle and these numbers pull you to lawful/chaotic and good/evil. That way your characterization is more individualized and playing to your alignment isn't so nebulous while still being so necessary.
What do you think would happen if the Galactic Republic was in the 40k universe?
>>46236983
The Imperium of Man with no Space Marines, Fantasy Races injected into Sci-Fi, or external threats? Sounds boring. Like incest psyker-family drama wreaking the galaxy boring.
Hey look its this tread again.
Torn to shreds by the myriad of hyper aggressive species, organizations, and factions that hate themselves and what they've become a lot, but hate everyone that isn't them even more.
Alessio Cavatore is now writing a My Little Pony RPG, and has officially admitted to being a brony. Thoughts?
I'm probably gonna get banned for even posting this, but this is just as much /tg/-relevant news as it is horsefaggotry
>>46236610
>Alessio Cavatore
Literally who?
>>46236664
you fucking know who he is.
>>46236704
I genuinely, non-sarcastically, have no idea who this person is or why anybody cares about him. Please, enlighten me. I don't know him from Adam, so why is he important.
What's your current character like? Race, class, personality, etc.
>>46236516
like that, but with less scales and more skin. At the moment.
Think like, minor barbarian hero; 1/2 Mongol, 1/3rd viking, 1/6th scottish highlander. Tools around, adventures, is a badass. Then goes roaming into distant china and finds out she's a scion of a major noble house and has a legendary birthright as one of those 'civilized' and 'settled' people she's spent her whole life looking down on. Oh, and her mother is alive.
It's a trip, she doesn't know what to think about it all, refuses to stop acting like a barbarian, and most of the civilized folk think she's just insane. Pretty sweet though and a real blast.

Jesus christ.
Oread Monk that I'm honestly having a bit of a hard time figuring out. Basically, she was raised in a monastery atop a mountain and after a while decided to go on a quest to look for the best mountain views she could find. The intention is to make her comically plain. She doesn't like fancy food, prefers sleeping on stone to a soft bed, and that sort of thing. Not wanting much, she tends to casually shell out her money to whoever she comes across, paying for strangers' drinks and such. She also takes all jokes seriously.
what does a Sister of battle do when she realizes she's a latent Psyker? does she just kill herself? turn herself to the inquisition?
Probably about 50/50 with the extremely rare one that just runs
>>46235501
Get hired by the Inquisition, trained as a sanctioned psyker, and used to fight more heretics, probably becoming a Witch-Hunter herself.
Usually they're screened from when they sign up, as I can't imagine it being very difficult to pick out a psyker gene. Genetic purity is usually a qualifier for the Sororitas anyway, as they're big on hating the mutant and have their own Hospitaliers for that.
>>46235501
If she's mostly ok with the idea and can control her powers pretty well (or they're minor powers to being with) then she might leave her order to be trained as a sanctioned psyker, or receive training with an Inquisitor.
Otherwise she would probably seek martyrdom in battle over suicide, potentially joining the ranks of the Sisters Repentia towards this end.

Step one: Toss it out.
Step two: Come up with a good idea instead.

The fantasy world turns out to be Irkutsk.
Why do people edition war, /tg/?
I understand why people may hate games like 4E D&D or 5E D&D, but why do people feel the need to argue about it on the internet so intensely?
Small dicks.
>>46234949
Huh. I have that book. Never actually used it, though. My uncle gave me it a few years back, along with a stack of other DND books.
>>46234949
because people have a really hard time to imagine things outside their small world build in their minds.
And small dicks.
