So is he a sorcerer or a wizard?
>>45967398
Never seen him need to use a spellbook to cast his basic shit.
>people still remember this shit
it wasn't even fotm, how did it even gained such a recognition?
Shit, I guess one of his titles is literally Sorcerer King.
Guess that answers my question.
What sort of challenges could my players face in an abandoned underground facility?

How powerful was the Cardassian Union compared to the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans? They get their asses flattened by Klingons, but they apparently did so well against the Federation that the Federation will do anything to avoid another war. And how militarily powerful were the Ferengi? Their ships apparently could fight the Enterprise.
>>45967228
The Cardassians were very good at tactics and strategy; the wars fought with the Federation saw them able to use their smaller resources, firepower, and fleet to great effect. Basically they're really good at asymmetrical warfare - as long as they're the smaller ones, anyway.
That said the Federation refers to them as "brushfire" wars. The Federation was never making any serious effort in their wars with the Cardassians, which were mostly over minor territorial disputes at the fringe of...

Theyre a second rate power. The Federation wants peace over war almost anytime.
The Ferengi seems to be more of a merchant type fleet, they have the tech but wont fight if they can barter or steal. They will only attack something they feel superior too.
>>45967228
To answer your question about why the Federation was trying so hard to settle things with the Cardassians - the Federation by that point had just had its fleet eviscerated by the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359. 39 ships were effortlessly destroyed by ONE Borg cube, not even slowing it down. The Federation wanted to settle everything with everyone at that point because they had a new Main Enemy and couldn't waste time on the little guys anymore.
(note, again, that the Cardassians obsessed over the Federation...

Your space honorable warrior race likes swords so much that they want to use then even during boarding actions against enemies with guns. Is there any way to make this make sense?

The last people to become deep sea divers.
>King & Son's Oceanic Surveying Co. folded late in the year, unable to stave off the debts incurred by constant delays. The delays were caused by a disturbing casualty rate among the deep sea divers; they simply stopped returning to the surface. The company's assets and few remaining dive suits were sold to a competing group. They scrubbed off the suits' distinctive crown logos and immediately put them to good use in successful...

Your hobo is constantly aroused.
Suppose you're a great general or something, in charge of a vast host laying a siege on a mighty city. After a great battle where you lost many lives but not too many, the walls lay breached, the towers ruined, the defenders routed, and the citizens at your mercy. The enemy empire is yours. All opposition has been crushed.
Well, save for this one dude.
He stands in the middle of a narrow alley, a small square far from the town center, the first floor of a random nondescript building, or some similar strange location of zero strategic importance. Anyone that...

So a literal Demigod of war decided to sit his ass in the middle of some shit alley?
I guess we just leave him be, or try to hire him...
Brick the fucking alley up obviously.
Maybe leave a flap for food.
Offer to recruit him. Someone with such conviction and devotion - invulnerability aside - would make a pretty damn useful asset, a lieutenant or stalwart defender who leads from the front in further conquests.
If he refuses, assuming he's literally not abandoning his defensive position at all, I guess I'd just send out a construction team, guarded by a small squad of skirmishers or something, to just fucking pave over and brick up all of the entrances and exits of the building.
Dude can have his fucking position if he wants it, but if the goddamn hero...

Favorite epic lines / quotes . No specific setting.
Old but good.

And one-hundred each of them!

I really like the story of a simple guardsman stepping between Horus and the wounded Emperor.

Where was that from? I remember the character but not the exact source.
Never let it be said the life of a Totemist is a sedentary one.
Your dinner with Boand rapidly becomes the longest concurrent period of relaxation you have for weeks. The planning session you worked out over dinner is used as a part day-planner part bible as you navigate through the remainder of the week, and then the entirety of the week after that.
First, you prioritize your mobility. Quinn and Terra show you step by step their successes and failures in crafting the Totem of Quick Recall that sits nestled atop the one of your myriad workbenches. The spiky melon-sized shell is the easy part—the contents that must be inserted within and the essence of the Mists that must be painstakingly refined from the local flora takes you approximately a day to craft. Still, practiced hands make light work. You manage to craft two Totems of Quick Recall in a very short time.
One totem you bequeath to Boand, to deliver to the gates of Eluneia with strict instructions to relinquish it only to Coporal Rime or Lance Corporal Rookwood. The other is placed within the Stone Emperor's sanctum with his blessing. The former ends up installed in your erstwhile guest home, while the latter is tucked away in the corner of the Emperor's throne chamber.
With your burgeoning travel network in place, you begin clearing the miscellania from your to-do list. With apprentices in tow you set to work planting trees for both Sylvia's long-overdue Verdis Wyrm payment and Terra's pact with the Dryad. The work is difficult, but honest—at the end of day two you have a respectable shrine erected just within the southern border of the village to the dryad and a new copse of saplings waving cheerily in an autumn-toned clearing a short walk away from the village. Sylvia attends the end of your labor to commend you on fulfilling your agreement in what she considers to be a timely manner. You're glad she doesn't seem to have a strict timetable.
(long OP in progress.)
>>45964357
The vast majority of the next few days are spent alternatively in transit and buried in research. You test your new Recall totem by willing yourself across the aether to Eluneia. Once there you drop in on Tybald and Jun, checking up on your friends and alerting Tybald to the meeting you have planned a few days hence. He agrees make haste for Grisoch under the pretense of a hiking trip abroad. You tell him Jun is invited, but he doubts she will be able to attend. Her familial duties to the city keep her well occupied.

Your research into the Wyrm is primarily worked from Azeo Sicros. Hesheza Zahn brings you higher in the fortress than you have ever dared tread, revealing to you one of his most treasured tools: An array of crystalline panes and ley-line focusers not dissimilar to the chamber in your meditations. The Occularum is one part scrying lens, one part spiritual focusing chamber. The use of it is incredibly taxing—you nearly pass out the first time Zahn attunes you to the periphery crystals—but it allows you to throw your perception far and wide in search of traces of your quarry. Through the Occularum you learn that the Wyrm still roams the far-flung deserts of Asolaria, though the meat-poor climate of the dunes seems to be agitating it to head elsewhere.
So entranced are you by your research, you nearly forget about the meeting you yourself have called. Boand gently pings the Whirlpool Pearl, speaking through the nacre to inform you that Saeri and the Pointsmari surveying drones have made an appearance to the northwest. You ride out to meet them atop Auspicious Rest. The drones are spirits—a pair of mushroom-ridden earth spirits and a trio of hulking metallic machines whom you can only assume are a set of the Iron General's proxies. Saeri is overjoyed to see you, flinging her arms around you the instant you settle to a stop.
The next day sees the arrival of Tybald from the Brush, escorted by a nervous Siperco to the gates of the village. Clad in all the regalia of the Hawk but his suffocating helm, Tybald stands out nearly as badly as Saeri does in your humble village. You quickly arrange lodgings for them in one of the few unoccupied homes at the edge of town, installing totems as best you can to make their brief stay a comfortable one.
>>45964395
Though you had your doubts he would manifest, Avasi does make a return on the agreed-upon date. He streaks through the sky overhead, clad in a corona of whistling sunfire, before making an ostentatious landing on a nearby peak. With Tybald, Saeri, and Quinn in tow you ride out to meet him. He not-so-cordially refuses to join you within the walls of Grisoch, opting to wield the holy edge of Illithuvia with an immaculate craftsman's arm to carve out a temporary shelter and planning chamber in the side of one...

Thanks

This might be the worst OP in /tg/ blood bowl history.
>medieval setting around 1500 tech level , no magic
assuming you play a DEX-based character with average strength and only chainmail.
You are now in a situation where you cant run away like always , and must fight a human warrior in full plate.
even though your chances of survival are limited anyway , what meelee weapon would increase your chances the most?
>>45963629
>in chain
>my adversary is in full flate
why can't I run, again?
>because reasons, anon
yeah, no.
>no really, REASONS
a spear.
/thread
>>45963629
Anything with longer reach that doesn't restrict mobility too much.
The other guy is better defended so I would need to take advantage of better mobility from lighter armor
>>45963629
Shield and a warhammer. Bludgeon the shit out of him before he can end you.
>>45963667
Spear is literally useless against full plate in a duel

Hey /tg/
A friend and I are going to be doing a 1v1 campaign, partially because we have no one else to play with, and partially because my friend is an old gamer and wants to help 'shake the rust off'
So we got to talking about it, specifically what game he'd be down to play, and which I'd be down to run. We've narrowed it down to 3.
3.5 DnD (the game he knows and is most comfortable with)
7th Sea (a game both of us are intrigued by)
and Deathwatch (a game who's settings and lore I'm pretty damn familiar with)
Thing is, 1v1 campaigns can be a tad tricky depending on the system you're using. I remember running a VtM 1v1 game waaaay back in the day, and that went rather well. I think that's because of the heavy emphasis it puts of roleplaying rather than smashing shit.
I'm just wondering which of these 3 games would be the best for 1v1 gaming. DnD I'm skeptical of, as, unless I'm fudging rolls or scaling the power back to a silly extent, one bad die throw and he's toast. 7th Sea, as I remember it, doesn't let heroes die unless it's because of the efforts of a villain, so I'm considering that. Deathwatch characters are themselves ridiculously stompy (being Astartes and all), so him getting wrecked is something that shouldn't be easy (assuming I don't send a Daemon Prince his way).
What do you guys think? Which one of these games would lend itself the best to 1v1 gaming.
Next time don't post a loli.
>>45962981
Didn't think it was a loli, was the only image that could describe my mental process (as I do feel a tad durrr hurrr about this)
7th Sea. 3.5 D&D is wildly dysfunctional for anything less than four players, and Deathwatch is a team game about being fuckups together.
I'm sorry but lately I have been asphyxiated with exams, school projects and my daily life and this is nothing but the start of what it is about to come for me.
As the school year comes to its end I am given more theory to study, more projects to work on and harder exams are designed to root out the ones who don't truly deserve to become graduated.
I am not stupid but neither a genius nor an stellar student. I simply cannot run anymore due to how constrained my time is and looking how this quest its in an all time's low makes me think that making...

>The initial plan was to descend onto the planet with the use of massive parachutes, antigrav engines and retro-rocket thrusters but the ship they are in becomes damaged in the hangar where the Titan is stored and the ship is forced to detach that hangar to avoid completely fracturing and exploding.
>She receives orders of destroying as many pylons and Monoliths as she can along with other Titans.
>The ship she is in is suddenly attacked and the cargo bay that holds her Titan is damaged beyond repair, several techpriests and hundreds of servitors are suddenly sucked out to the open void. The Ship informs them that to better maneuver and avoid further damage they will disengage the damaged cargo bay.
>Unable to equip all the high orbit parachutes and emergency landing rockets in time the Titan jumps from the ship before the cargo disengages and once it is in orbit it opens as many parachutes as she can, since there aren’t the necessary ones the few that have been installed quickly rip and offer little to no help but along with the landing rockets the Titan manages to reach the wall of the space elevator and grab its surface.
>By using its power fist the titan is able to grab onto the walls of the Space Elevator and decrease the momentum of its quick descent to acceptable levels. Part of the Elevator suffers critical damages and it cannot be used anymore but it is structurally safe.
>After descending the Titan sees that near the Pylons there are the sources of the Orange Gas. Shortly after destroying the first pylon several other Titans arrive from the sky. They aid her in destroying a couple of more Pylons and shortly afterwards they see a massive Ice meteor falling in the distance and exploding against the ground, after it comes a rain of water along with several other icy micrometeoroids that aren’t strong enough to survive the fall and turn into water in mid-air. In front of their eyes all the mist starts to dissipate.

>We would return to controlling Heracor once more. He’s made pass a medical exam along with the few survivors and rests for a while, he’s informed that the rest of the survivors will have their mind erased and be sent to far away words unknowing the fate that they had just escaped from.
>In his medical exam there are several doctors and medics along with them there is Fire in the Skin, the tribal and possibly psyker doctor that accompanied Commissar Oihan. After the exam they talk for a long time and catch up together, Fire has newly gained psyker powers but he has decided to stay as a medic. He has what he calls as the “Sight”, he can see the true nature of most people with even more accuracy than ever. After a while Heracor questions him about the nature of souls for he might know more than him.
“Imagine a tree, that tree is a soul, from its branches several delicious fruits loom and fall to the ground; these fruits itself aren’t bad but they cannot be compared with how delicious the tree itself it is. Its bark is made from hazelnut and xocolalt pastries, its salvia is the most delicious and purest honey and it is all sprinkled with cane sugar. This three isn’t alone thought, it is surrounded by uncountable more trees that create a lush jungle that extends as far as the eye can see; Daemons are the beasts that roam the jungle and feed of those raw emotion composed fruits, they would all love to jump into the trees but for most of them these are untouchable as they are covered by Majyyk wards, only the strongest ones can make it across and when they do they proceed to devour it all uncontrollably, when that happens it reflects in the Living Plane as a Daemonical Possession.
