Since a straight forward set of Gue'vesa tables doesn't really exist, we'll be doing a bit of winging-it and jumping around on different creation tables. Reasonable suggestions welcome.
For now, I guess we'll start with some Tau tables.
To determine what phase the Sept we are attached to was founded, Roll a 1D10

Filthy race traitors. Surrender now and receive the Emperor's Forgiveness.
Rolled 6 (1d10)

3rd Sphere, makes sense.
Now...we...roll.... 1D10 for Primary cadre function, whynot.
I hear a lot of differing information on space marines. Are they chemically castrated or not? Sometimes they seem totally focused on duty and ignore women, but then you have like the Space Wolves who save a city only to use all of the prostitutes for weeks and blueball the Guardsmen who held the line before they showed up.
Depends on the author
Depends on the chapter
Progenoids are gonads reabsorbed into the body.
And even then Space Marines are hardcore hypnoidoctrinated murder machines with only a vague concept of life outside killing and training for killing. The only ones that give a fuck about women are Space Wolves because they are mary sues.
What's the most polarizing thing you've done as a GM, /tg/? I'm not looking for strokes of brilliance, I'm not looking for stuff that was imbecilic, I'm looking for stuff that divided your playgroup down the middle, half thinking it was a great idea and half thinking it was a terrible one.
For me
>"Fast" random encounters.
>Instead of the random encounter spawning XdY enemies and bringing out the battlemaps and fighting it out, which drags things down, have a different setup.
>You roll on the table, you get an encounter
>Encounter will say something like "Two sand golems, lose 8/6/3/3 hp/fp, distributed randomly. Lose 2 potions. This much loot, this much experience.
>Modify for system, party composition, etc. as needed.
>Keeps things moving fast, while maintaining the "Tax on ability to stay in hostile environment"
>On the other hand, it really, really pisses some people off, especially how I deal damage or take items without tactical input from the players.
What are yours, anons? Pic unrelated.

Run Star Wars. I've done it twice, and they were the two worst GMing experiences of my life, almost entirely based around everyone bickering constantly about what was cannon, what was not cannon, what was in the spirit of the movies, what violated that spirit, what was or wasn't part of the Jedi code, whether Jedi could wear armor, how much damage laser cannons did to ground targets, whether Yoda's species...

OP specifically said, not stuff that was imbecilic.

Could have been worse. You could have tried to run a Star Trek RPG.
>A devout Warpriest
>Discovered a corpse.
>Recognizes him as his god. Or at least what's left.
>He still has priestly magic.
What would be a realistic reaction to it?

>oh look, there's the corpse of my god but I can still use his magic. Probably because his spirit is still in the heavens. Carry on

This.
He's a war god. Defeat is part of war and War must embody it.
Does the death of the god make the gods teachings less relevant?
You all know the drill, first three votes to a race, first three to a place.

The first rays of sunlight meet your eyes well before you had planned to wake up.
It’s the inconvenience of having no blinds and having the sunlight filter directly inside your room, you suppose.
“urg… it’s probably something like 6 am, am I on my shift or what?”, you grunt.
Any attempts to fall back asleep are useless. “I understand that they’re going...

Nevertheless, you probably need to talk with that boy. However awkward and unpleasant that might be, the message has been repeated to you over an over: nothing happens by chance here.
So maybe that girl in the convenience store earlier wasn’t a chance meeting either, and neither was the unbearable knight you met while getting out of the tavern. Those must be interrogated too.
For what concerns the Warrior, he will come on his own. You have an appointment with him for lunch. Together with the Edge...

How should one handle this as a plot for a campaign?

Something something Will Ferrell shags Brad Pitt.
Isn't this the plot of Mistborn?

PCs become the villain's henchmen, hired by him as troubleshooters
I'm working on a guide to D&D editions, pic related being the rough draft, describing the pros and the cons of each of the editions, and I'd like /tg/'s input. And yes, before you ask, I am going to end with "Remember, you can always try not playing D&D."
I'll post my the current draft of the write-up itself.
