So, I want to get into 40K, where would be a good place to start?
Would the Skitarii be fine for my first army? I like the lore behind them, and want to know if they're fine for a new player.

Make paper models, cheap, more creative freedom, etc. Just make some rulers and junk out of cordboard and blam, poor mans 40k for 40cents. Don't expect anyone else to play with you though, cause who wants to play with poor people.

Greetings councilors how's everyone doing.
>>46055957
Well over all pretty good, thanks for asking, and how are you?
A thread where we make a setting, one post at a time. Magical realm or setting-breaking additions can be ignored.
To start: Goblins are the most populous race in the setting, and are prone to extreme mutations and defects.
>>46055726
Put in some rules OP. We don't want chaos in here.
Goblin mutations and defects are valued in their society, and the most fucked up and useless Goblins are considered the most holy.
Able-bodied and minded goblins do the most work and worship the Defromed as living gods.
In truth, goblins are incredibly sensitive to the heavy pollution of a more advanced civilization.

Isn't this plagiarism?

Only if they copy the manual, famalam.
>>46055305
It is legally impossible to copyright game mechanics. If they did, we'd have like, 5 games.

No. Everything is either Checkers, Tic Tac Toe, or Candy Land at its base.

I know 40k plasma operates by having containment flasks from which hydrogen is fed into a fusion reactor inside the gun. There's it's turned to plasma and ejected via a magnetic field.
Pulse weapons don't use hydrogen nor a fusion core, they use projectiles and induction fields.
So going back to my question since the other thread ended. Are terminators worth it? I know they have a 2+ armor save and a 5++ but they have 1 wound and five of them cost about 200 without upgrade's. The 2+ save is nice but if your hit with enough attacks in one turn it may not matter. So are they worth it in any way or is there a better alternative?
Thoughts?
>>46055412
IIRC, Pulse weapons use a projectile that creates a plasma sheath that allows it to travel farther and faster than it otherwise normally would. It uses plasma, but it's not a "true" plasma weapon.
I have never played any game using the PbtA system, but I see it mentioned a bit here. I tried reading through the core book to get some answers to the questions I have, but I've always been horrible at reading rulebooks of all sorts. I was hoping that you could answer some of my questions, and if not, just let the thread die.
I've seen mentioned that the rules tie in with the setting/the setting "is the rules". How does that work?
In which way is it easily hackable?
Is there a possibility to make it a "generic" system, or does that conflict with the "setting is the rules"-thing?
Is it suitable for longer campaigns?
Overall pros and cons? Do you like it? Would you recommend it and why?
>also general I guess

It's a bad game with a ton of cringy forced ERP shit in itHello, Reddit
>>46055140
>In which way is it easily hackable?
Core mechanic is very simple, rules rarely stack or compound, making changes simple to execute.
>Is there a possibility to make it a "generic" system, or does that conflict with the "setting is the rules"-thing?
It conflicts.
>Is it suitable for longer campaigns?
Depends. You have to think about how fast you want to advance in a campaign, etc.
>Overall pros and cons?
Pros: simple,f reewheeling fun. Good for playing like you played D&D when you were 12.
Cons: Breaks if you play it like an MtG player. Virt will sneak into your house and rape you.
>Do you like it? Would you recommend it and why?
I'd definitely recommend it AW and DW as good reading for their view on DMing, and I'd probably recommend DW for it's niche (fuckabout dungeoncrawl play).

"Kobolds have long since been a race of servants and tinkerers for Dragons and draconic creatures who they claim a desendance from. None truly would admit this, surely not a Dragon who kept them as at best favored servents and at worst a meal. Though some would argue Kobolds have such potential in which a Dragon might not see."
Ah a renegade Kobold, either on their own by choice, banishment from a chief due to some sort of crime or idea that they could overthrow them, or perhaps the last survivor of a rampage of adventurers who stole every bit of wealth. Adventurers...

It is 2,016 years since the Battle of Munda in southern Hispania; tthe final battle of Julius Caesar's civil war against the Roman Republic, and against the leaders of the Optimate. With the military victory at Munda, and the deaths of Titus Labienus and Gnaeus Pompeius (eldest son of Pompey), Caesar was politically able to return in triumph to Rome, and then govern as the elected Roman dictator.
In the wake of their defeats at Pharsalus (48 BC) and Thapsus (46 BC), the Optimates and supporters of the late Pompey the Great had been contained in Hispania (modern...

It's a beautiful day on the pier. The sun is shining, the breeze is cool and relaxing, the waves of the ocean are calm. A street band are performing, as the pier is flooded with families, lovers, tons of happy faces. All except one, and that's who you have to deal with today.
You remember back to the first time you met Kevin Omega. It was two years ago. You were a fresh faced 16 year old going to train with the wrestler you spent years glued in front...

For all his faults... his many, many faults... you held nothing but respect for the passion the man had for his profession. Even with all the sacrifices the man made in his quest to perfect the craft... his two divorces, his countless buried friendships... his younger brother died before his career had begun to take off... there always remained a wildfire behind the eyes of Kevin Omega every time he picked up a microphone or stepped in between the ropes. The man loved wrestling, above all else. His passion served as the kindling for the fire within your own heart. Even when the sky was falling down around him, he never stopped loving what he did.
Last night, you watched from a comfortable sofa as that fire went out. Your hero ended his career, not with a bang, but with a whimper. The childhood fantasy is beginning to feel more like a cautionary tale. If Kevin Omega's fire can burn out, who's to say yours can't either? This was a man you believed would never, ever give up, and yet today he stands before you, head hung low of the railing of the pier, as people pass by without so much as acknowledging his presence. It seems that all these years you've been nothing more than a stupid fan. You never truly knew the man at all.
"I really fucking hate this song." His gruffness and aching in his voice tell the story of a man with nothing left.

Hold onto your potatoes everyone! Because it's time to Whip it good!

So let's say that Angels and Demons are the same sort of being, like in the abrahamic religions where demons are fallen angels (though the demons probably tell it differently).
What's a good name for the "race" of these critters that isn't biased one way or the other e.g. calling them all angels or all devils or devas or asuras or similar?
Currently leaning towards "theurges" or "devgels" but there's presumably a term for this that I'm forgetting.
>>46054127
How about calling them the Benei Elohim? It's Hebrew simply for "sons of God", would cover both those loyal and those fallen.
>>46054127
Depending on how people all interacting with them, you could call them Tulpas?
>>46054127
"Divine spirits?"
