>>97344580It's still a cold as hell planet where sunlight is fleetingly rare, straight out of Ray Bradbury's 'All Summer in a Day' where kids need to use industrial sized tanning salons just avoid vitamin D deficiencies. It's so hard to see anyone coming out of this world with a dark skin tone. >>97344797It's the agenda that bothers me. You got a mongol chapter, a literal black guy chapter, an edge lord chapter, but the space vikings need to be 'inclusive' because white people. >>97345873That could be part of the reason why the Tau got grimderped the way they did. I also think that the client races were, in a great irony, looked at by sensitivity readers and deemed 'problematic.' Why? The client races might be second base to the Tau but they are clearly recognized by the Ethereals as furthering the Greater Good. They all have their own strengths and weaknesses that the Tau not only respect but find a way to fit into their burgeoning civilization, often united only by shared misery at the hands of the Imperium- even humans join the Tau Empire. Still dystopian but it's clearly better than the alternative. This runs counter to DEI as not only are the Tau meritocratic, but the concept of separate species who have their own goals is a serious badnono according to the current fanatics in lower Blackrock management even with completely different biological setups. And again: a tiny nation with different values resisting a massive bloc more or less ran by obscenely rich aristocrats using a broken ideology to prop themselves up and actually succeeding might scare these people. Probably more than the Black Templars even. I don't even like the Tau and I'm standing up for them. Way to go Blackrock.
>>97346434You're making bullshit up.Ever since the individual Great Companies were described by GW in the 5th ed codex, the Sea Wolves were described as "dark of skin and temperament"And this was before Magnus' latest invasion that decimated Fenris' civilian population that they just had to get a whole new shipment of colonists. And exterminatus another planet in the system.
>>97346898>copeThe dark skin is usually described as being 'tan,' then again...>black temperamentAh man. They're goddamn gangbangers. >"Yo, LEMAAANN wez just capped dem foolz. Baller."Well, I guess Fenris being Space Detroit does make sense... In a way that the liberal writers would be very unhappy with. Fenris will be going through a rough patch since Imperial EBT is now gone.>"The Space Wolves only see 'bangin,' 'rappin,' and 'ballin' as a way off Fenris instead of civic duty and work.">-Rebolute 'get a job' Guilliman.
>>97346898>>97346941>Fenris >Literal Space DetroitAh man. I know Geedubs was desperately hoping for Blackrock money but this is hilarious. Goddamn. The Space Wolves are the ultimate product of Nig@synthesis, even bigger than the Hateocracy of Fenrisian legend.
Fenris was a spaceship making factory settled by... Eh... Let's call them 'Zero-G Ball Columbians.' As Columbian industries were increasingly contracted out to third galactic Grot worlds, Fenris became a mega slum as all the... Hmm... Let's call them 'Golden Men,' left for better planets leaving Fenris, or as it was known at the time: Obama, in the hands of its now unemployed workforce. When the Eldar Empire fell, Planet Obama fell into further irrelevance as what was left of Aeldari investments dried up so the planet became poor as fuck. Things got so bad even the Grot H1B holders weren't setting up scam call centers and the Stryxis 24/7 owners were tired of getting robbed so they took off. Then the Age of Strife happened and most of the population starved due to EBT and food stamps no longer being available resulting in a societal decline.

You are especially allowed to be a sexist rapist woman hater in Islam if it means raping and or converting non Muslim women. Hence why, how come not enough porn games or "dark fantasy" that is Muslim based and Islamic themed? Almost half the shit you see in a hentai or doujin is normalized and permitted by the quran and prophet Muhammad.

>>97339290>Dead DropsI have this one and I genuinely find it a really interesting book.

After a nightmare I had last night, I've come to a conclusion that zombie media has been doing it wrong. Zombies are way WAY more fucking terrifying when you can't tell someone has turned until you interact with them. Bonus points if they hopelessly cry for help early on during the infection.>To avoid friendly fire and to avoid hiding from help you have to make yourself known to potential threats>Anyone sent in to clean up the situation is much more likely to shoot first and ask questions never>Mercenary responders can be willing to even kill each other to claim killed competitors as zombie heads taken which puts you in crossfire and endangers any well-meaning respondersAlso exploding zombies need keratinous skin growths for shrapnel spikes.The zombie film series I watched in the nightmare was scarier than the shit in the nightmare actually trying to kill me.

Previous thread: >>97215703GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: What are some systems or you would like to include or see included in a campaign, but haven't been able to? They don't have to be the main focus of the game, having them only as something on the side is okay.

>>97333046Like this? >>97331568>Deshreti Prestorite Church: the holy church of the Red Sands split from the Apostolic Church fairly early during a doctrinal dispute. The Godhead, a concept abandoned by the Apostles for a more angelic or even archonic interpretation of the high wills, believed in the words of Father Prestor. God, according to the Deshreti, can be broken into three portions with each embodying different concepts of the divine will: the Creator/Demiurgos, the Lord of Heaven/Pantokrator, and the divine force that lies within all man if they chose to be saved. Angels tend to take a backseat in Deshret sermons with most priests focusing upon God himself and the wonders of creation. >The Prestorites were brutally subjugated by the Zaranim who kidnapped many women and boys and left the church on life support for many centuries. The Great Crusade brought an end to the Zaranim and the reign of cruel Sultans. The Crusading Orders formed a grim alliance with the Prestorites who saw their form of worship opposed to the reign of the Angels which succeeded in revitalizing the Church (a few forced conversions at the point of a sword helps with that) and brought upon a new era. The Ghazi raids are still an ever-persistent threat with Mujahedeen attacks being fairly common.>In addition, tensions are growing between the Patriarchs and the Apostolic lords who aggressively hold onto their power long after the fall of Zaranism.

Why? The Knights of the White Stallion have a rite of passage not necessarily far off from the Hajj of the desert raiders in which they search for the Holy Grail. While the knights failed to find the artifact, they did manage to set up a foothold that only grew with succeeding crusades in the following centuries. Proselytization of the natives succeeded but only due to the presence of the Guntharran Gregorian Church which was more approachable for the Zaranites. Tension has risen with the Guntharrans who are increasingly indifferent or even resentful towards their 'saviors' as the Zaranim are now a bunch of sweaty desert nomads and the non-humans safely deposited within their ghettos. Non-humans are often kept as slaves with the sole exception of the Gnomish Banking Clans which essentially run these ghettos as personal fiefdoms with debt peonage becoming an increasingly valid form of servitude. Gnomish peonage is a better lot than getting worked to death by humans after all... Davidians, as always, are blamed for most of the kingdom's problems. Imperials do view them poorly after all.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

W5 in particular makes me mald as I enjoyed Werewolf for what it was, and W5 is less Werewolf than V5 is Vampire.>>97340688Well because the system is actually pretty open-ended and is technically a sequel to the older editions your DM is free to pick and choose what he likes to add and use. There are also no missing clans or disciplines technically, the retards at the helm decided anything flavorful or unique should either get smushed together (Obtenebration and Necromancy into Oblivion, making every Lasombra a necromancer) or made into an amalgam ability like Vicissitude being protean + domination. As for clans, they either got renamed (Setites into Ministry) or they got merged into the Hecata for all the necromancer clans. It's incredibly retarded though and you're free to ignore it of course, but the system is worse in general. Still nothing stopping you from using your old books of course.

>>97335452>D&D died soon as stranger things became turbo-gay and WOTC embraced the woke without realizing they're pandering to the 1% of the country that never plays tabletop gamesI don't think that's true. I've never seen so many faggots outside RPG circles as I have within them. The hobby is pretty fruity, and when you look at prominent early figures like Jaquays or even Ed Greenwood's magical realm to things like RPG.net and other nerd hobby forums, I think it's safe to say that tabletop games were woke long before the cambrian explosion on tumblr.I'd say the opposite is true. The 1% that bitches the most about these things are the rw guys who were either going to pirate it, or buy it anyway regardless of the grumbling. No real sense in pandering to rightoid cheapskates if you lose 10 people who pay 10x for every 1 rw culture warrior you bring in by pandering. The perennial problem with the right and the arts, is that they almost never put their money where their mouths are and support sympathetic artists.
