Alright people, let's try to find interestings powers and drawback for a superhero/supervillain.
Something beyond the overdone Flying Brick or Time-Control, something original.
The power level isn't really a thing, so feel free to come up with powers as absurdly overpowered as you like.
Let me begin:
>Hostility Power-Up: this power makes you stronger, faster, more resilient, more perceptive the more people are trying to kill you. Drawback is the small range of the power. This mean that in a straight up combat you will wreck shit,...

>Power: You have super strength
>Drawback: You do not have super bone density
>>46059833
>Speed/Mass inversion: You can change your mass, but as you gain mass you lose speed and inverse.
>>46059833
You can turn yourself invisible, but only when nobody is around to see you
>You write a setting.
>suddenly notices that you have a passage which don't make sense..
>Now the whole setting no longer makes sense and I can remove thousands of words.
I am a moron.
Adapt, you dingus.

>I am a moron.
Yes.
>>46058749
How much of the setting did you write? Because literally the only things you should concern yourself is thus;
>two paragraphs on cosmology
>list of deities or religions, include holy weapons and domains
>List of nations
>Three paragraphs per nation; one describing history, one describing culture, one describing geography
>List capitals, two noteworthy...

I'm running a maid rpg session tonight and am feeling extremely uninspired.
Can someone give me a random suggestion or two for bullshit I can pull?

Rape them. The players I mean, not the maids.

random suggestion?

If the Codex Astartes is the ultimate strategy guide, why hasn't Chaos stolen it?
>>46056456
They have? Abaddon has studied the Codex very, very thoroughly, and most Renegade Chapters have at least one copy of it because they were once Loyalist Astartes who therefore trained under it, if not fully embraced its teachings.
>>46056641
What happens if Abaddon steals all of the copies in the whole galaxy?
>>46056456
It isn't about how to make a good space marine, it is how to make a loyal space marine.
Oh me oh my.

40K newfag here, what is this Lost Patrol stuff?
>>46056270
Straight out of 1d4chan:
Lost Patrol is a 2-player board game designed by Jake Thornton and produced by Games Workshop way back in the day when they still did other things than cranking out new editions and codices for Warhammer 40,000.
One player takes control of a group of Space Marine Scouts (the eponymous lost patrol) trapped on a jungle Death World. His goal is to find the Marines' dropship and get the fuck off that hellhole. The second player controls the local fauna. His goal is to cackle maniacally...

They might be a little well-armored for a scout team.
What was the reason of the decline of Warhammer Fantasy? Even long before Age of Sigmar was clear that things were not going well.
>>46055759
WoW
Every fantasy player who had an army didn't need any more. So gw decided to change the system to favor larger armies to get the existing player base to need to buy more.
Fast forward and combined with alternative games on the market and a game that isn't easy for new players to get into ( due to needing to make such a large investment to get started) the game began to decline rapidly.
The switch to bigger armies and the start of the decline happened around 6th edition, I think.
>>46055759
There's very little manuever in Fantasy. Place units, hope your opponent doesn't place his better. Smash them together. 4x4 and 4x6 just aren't big enough.
A friend plays Bretonians. The knights would trot forward, charge one and that was it. They couldn't change direction fast enough to get a second charge in and his opponents couldn't turn around to counter attack.
So I ordered some villa zheng proxies and was wondering if these duals were passable, since obviously I have no duals of my own to compare. The zendikar/onslaught fetches and wastelands I got were surprisingly good, definitely difficult to notice any differences when double-sleeved.
I tried to rough these up a bit but didn't do a great job. I would take these to anything big, just my store's legacy night. I've played with them in some commander games and nobody noticed (or cared, I guess). Anybody have experience using these fakes? Ideas on how to make...

I've been eyeing to get some proxies, how much did you spend?
Here is a close of one, one thing I did notice was the centering was off on a few. Is this common among actual duals, or will it be an obvious tell?
>>46055530
I spent about $30 for two of each blue dual, a couple wastelands, and a few fetches. The shipping was pretty fast for me too, but I would research which of his fakes are passable. I just couldn't find anything for the duals.
Tell me about fighting styles in your setting, /tg/. Are there any notable fighting styles? What are they known for? Are they associated with certain races or groups?
What about fairly-known fighters? What are they known for?
Due to their stronger lower part of the body, my elves like to kick, smash their knees into heads or jump at their target to ram whatever weapon they are holding into it.
Hammerdances are a very short string of attacks with a polehammer/lucerne that start a cut, a stab, a quick smite with the hammer and then the fighter disengages with a swing of the pick. Each hit is more severe than the last.
They are used by the castle guards of the desert cities. The royalguard of this city is extreme. They use massive weapons made of the very lightweight mithril. While still remarkably heavy for a weapon, the size of them enable (and disable) them to do certain things. The Great Mallet of Azakel cannot be parried and if it's not blocked it simply...

In my setting the main style is sword and board traditional fighting, associated with the English. There are a lot of minor styles present, like a gladiator style tripper build associated with the remnants of rome, berzerker style associated with norse invaders, and a simple but effective unarmed grappler style associated with jews. There's also a weebshit berzerker+ style called Kriegerfetchen invented by a PC.
what was game workshop thinking whzn they did that shit??
>lets remove all the complex grey areas in each factions ect and lets replace it with generic blue good guys ultramarines vs red bad guys demons

>Grown men who are our biggest demographic absolutely love fifth-grade-tier levels of conflict. Let's cut out literally everything a child -may- not understand, and Slaanesh because that's not PC.
Seems silly, but it's still selling.

Why so upset, little man? I am 800 years old, thatswhy I have all maxed class levels from core and all supplements. I'ts what ANY creature with a pinch of precautin would do.
Rolled 12 (1d20)
The amount of experience necessary to actually do that would be insane. You'd be some kind of god, and so overpowered that you'd HAVE to be referenced in the opening pitch to the campaign, because you'd be the dominant force in the world.
Instead you're just a shitty worm sat in a cave, so I'm going to roll to doubt your story.
Then why can't you spell?

They don't make dragon-sized keyboards, apparently.
After seeing the chaos trailer for total warhammer (which is shaping up or be the coolest game of the year), dragon ogres have become my favorite race in warhammer.

I can't seem to find the chaos trailer on the total war channel, but I think this is a copy.
>>46052345
I'll be writing a bit about them in my spare time today
>what is a dragon ogre
The dragon ogres are (possibly) the oldest race in the warhammer fantasy world. They are a race of half humanoid half dragon creatures, almost centaur like in their appearance. They inhabit the mountains of they chaos wastes, the most uninhabitable place in the warhammer world.
>biology
As mentioned before, dragon ogres have a horned humanoid head, with a muscular upper body, on top of a four legged dragon body. Their size can vary greatly, from the size of an ogre to the size of a huge mountain, based upon their age. Dragon ogres are in a constant stage of growth all their lives, and due to their longevity, this means they can reach incredible proportions. Although it is unknown what they eat, they appear to be awakened by lightning storms and appear to be rejuvenated by it. They are all but impervious to lighting like magic or weapons. Dragon ogres are said to have the strength of a troll, and the speed of a horse, and can use weapons and armor.

I recently backed the big Sentinels of the Multiverse Kickstarter. I got the vidya recently and enjoyed it a lot, and the chance to get the complete physical game in a nice display box seemed cool.
I also went for Fabulous Beasts, a cute little hybrid physical/digital dexterity game, where balancing these statues on a base was reflected in an app by balancing an ecosystem. It's a cute idea.
Nothing going on at the moment, but I'm looking forward to the This War of Mine boardgame and the Unknown Armies 3e Kickstarter.
There is a noticeable, starking difference between running a census and actually spending the better part of a day meeting people.
Aside from the odd newcomer (and an actual newborn) the amount of people in New Royo hasn't changed, but in all honesty you couldn't claim to remember everyone in the first place. Sure, most faces were familiar, but you've also spent less time in town than Bryld did.
In addition to that, you have plenty of things that set you apart from the rest and it's not just about your appearance. For one, you find out that...

Pretty sure only 40k does that.Is it too contrary to post something I like in greentext with a frog picture?Oh, before I forget: dumb frogposter.
Just hand over the toaster, OP. These are their machines.
>>46051911
Could you name any setting besides 40k where this is a thing
Could a dark fantasy setting with Drakainia as Big Bad be fun?

only if it's an ERP
sage still works, right?
No. It's bad, and you should feel bad for even considering it.
