>>97379345Thank you for all your help anon, it's deeply appreciated.
I'm planning on running a post-ROTJ EoE/AoR game where players work for the ISB in a post-Emperor Empire. Here's my crawl:"EMPEROR PALPATINE is dead! The DISASTER AT ENDOR has claimed the life of the autocratic center of stability in the Galaxy. In the ensuing battle the REBEL ALLIANCE was decimated by the remaining Imperial Fleet. Rebel leaders LUKE SKYWALKER, LEIA ORGANA, MON MOTHMA, and HAN SOLO are presumed dead or in hiding.The GALACTIC EMPIRE is reeling, fragmenting into warring REMNANT SECTORS: WARLORDS vying for control of portions of the galaxy; some of whom with interest in claiming the vacant IMPERIAL THRONEAs the powerful consolidate their positions, IMPERIAL FORCES which once policed the mid and outer rims have been drawn back to core worlds. Local despots, criminal syndicates, and pirates have filled the vacuum left by WARLORD forces as they form REMNANT STRONGOLDS.In this vacuum a number of the IMPERIAL HIGH COUNCIL have formed a regency, relying on influence through control of the vast network established by the IMPERIAL SECURITY BUREAU. "TBC
>>97380086Here's the initial brief:"ISB Brief DZ-1427Holobrief featuring ISB Major Lagret -Let’s get right to it gentlemen. While the Navy tries to douse fires erupting in every sector, you will be using the confusion to your advantage. You’ve been selected from among your peers for an aptitude to piece information together, recruit field assets, and maintain a sufficiently low profile. You will form the Clandestine Operations Group or COG of the ISB and COMPNOR as a whole. You will have whatever resources you need at your disposal. You will report directly to me and report directly to the Emperor. Henceforth you’ll correspond with me as codename “Gray”. You are subordinate to the ISB only. Anyone else including all sector Moffs or Warlords may be considered compromised. If the true nature of your purpose is detected, we will have no choice but to terminate the program and your efforts will be for naught.The rebellion, however organized, remains active and has become entirely covert. We will subvert their tactics and use them against them.I will be honest with you, troopers. The destabilization of the Galaxy by this most recent attempt on the Emperor’s life as well as the destruction of the Death Star has left the Empire stretched thin. Further instability could threaten to reverse the decades of progress that we have made in providing peace and safety to the trillions of lives who are our citizens. The new strategy of the Empire will be to refocus efforts away from direct action and, instead, increase the indirect response to the growing hostility by those who would seek to usurp power for themselves. You are part of that indirect option. You are the tip of the spear. "Goal will be a number of covert/clandestine operations as well as opportunities to go hot when indicated.
>>97380095PICREL is the first brief I came up with (I have more details if you guys think this is interesting).I have a few other scenarios planned including:>Starting a drug war between rival Hutt and Zann syndicate to destabilize a mid-rim sector. Goal is to install a controlled opposition.>Security breach is resulting in ISB agents in the field being burned, suggesting a mole. Some security transmission have been followed by rapid starfighter strikes to the ISB locations. Lines of communications to and from the Empire are now compromised>Infiltrate a rebel cell and determine a location of a meeting held by various ex-senator rebel planetary leaders before it happens. Goal is then to decide the approach on killing or apprehending the senators once they are gathered>A prequel mission where you are called by the Devastator (pre BoY) to some backwater planet callet Tatooine. You're instructed to disguise yourselves as stormtroopers and track down a pair of missing droids (mission critical). Leads will eventually take you to a farmhouse with an old couple.> False flag attack on imperial remnants/competing warlords>You are sent to observe and advise a corporate sector authority to arrest an old CIS war criminal. Twist: the advisors the party is attached to are complete fuck-ups.>Party is sent very deep to infiltrate an imperial high security prison (perhaps Kessel?) to "rescue" a COG/ISB agent so they can connect him with a Rebel arms dealer. Twist: the imprisonment of the ISB agent is a plant and the "rescue" is to establish credibility with the COG to plant them with the arms dealer's crew>JTAC rebel fleet in hiding
>>97380177A few other missions I've worked out>Quiet Election: DZ-1539- Planetary senator on Ketaris is set to formally orient with an independence movement. Intelligence shows that overt action is likely to cause planetary resources to divert and open rebellion. This system needs to remain intact. You have three standard days to prevent the announcement by any means necessary without creating a martyr.> Last LIGHT (DZ-16045)- A joint naval-ISB counter-terrorism unit conducted an annual simulated operation in the Nar Shaddaa sector. During said exercise, simulated actors initiated a real attack on the operatives- killing or capturing many of them. Fleet and Army assets cannot be mobilized to avoid this becoming public, raise the attention of the local Hutts, and draw precious assets away from Core Rim operations. You are the closest operational team and must identify the attackers, minimize civilian fallout, and ensure no record survives of the original operation. This includes those purview to the original operation.>Operation Dark Mirror (DZ-1855)- Mid-level imperial officials of the Abrion Sector have been exhibiting some concerning patterns including selective mercy, over compliance with local authorities, and delay in enforcement of imperial edict. Your job is to perform an audit, perform loyalty tests, and identify if these officials remain compliant with the cause without causing them to defect.

It is Friday, Dark Heresy day.We finish our audience with the Smug-Telepath-Psyker-Inquisitor woman at the Scholariate at Arms HQ. Then we have to overkill that bitch Sinderfell, rescue the blank and get back to the HQ before the Tyrant Star shows up.Light work. Callidia even blessed the Arbite's hand flamer with Flames of Faith so now it burns extra hard.
>>97378163Man I'm already having a meltdown about the barghesi thing, 8 months of work creating a homebrew for GW to spcifically choose to invalidate it with a single model and like, a paragraph of lore. I'm gunna have a conniption.
>>97379543nvm session got canceled
>>97378163It's on our radar. The big thing is that these one-offs are harbingers, like how the blackstone fortress kroot led to the kroot rework. I will look at their rules and stats closely, but this means they may be coming as new T'au auxiliaries, which means more and better info. It's the end of the edition after all, so stuff will be coming eventually.>>97380007This is why I wait, homie. EVERYONE got it wrong cause they assumed that barghesi were the guys on bottom left, and now they and you got egg on their faces.
>>97380157>>97380157The thing is there was no guarantee they'd ever make a Barghesi model or overtly expand on lore. I knew about that mole-rat style design and that they occasionally referenced it in books once every like, 2 or 3 years. But there was zero other indication that they'd actually do anything with it. That was the entire point behind my xenos-minoris series, choosing races that needed the expansion GW likely would never do. I'm going to have to put up some kind of warning notice about this shit on itch man. Maybe I'll just handwave my Barghesi as the species that owns the dogs or something

It kinda annoys me how the anime just... ignores the energy generator completely most of the time. There were a couple of scenes in the first few episodes and occasionally someone decides to actually mention that they set the generator, but I feel like I'd enjoy the concept more if Divinez gave more focus to it. If charging the generator had some kind of flashy visual or something to make it feel cool.
>>97377282the generator in the anime only work for draws anon
So this is what Michiru does on the side, huh!
>>97377420stop leaking his true work anon
Nuclear take here, I think a season like Deluxe Finals is what D series has been missing, and I think it could use more of it. The problem with D series is that it barely has time to breathe because of the 13 episode seasons. I actually WANT more filler. It makes the setting feel more lived in. The fluff before Michiru vs. Akina has been some of my favorite because it feels more like original Vanguard. No stakes, no competition, just card games for the sake of it. I missed that. S1 of overDress attempted that sometimes, but it just wasn't as good. You need more time.
He is basically the antichrist.
>>97375279That's what I got.
>>97375826So... a tiger?
>>97374590The Platoism is entirely what gives Abrahamic philosophy its legitimacy, otherwise Yahweh is just one superpowered guy in a world seemingly full of them. He 'has' to be the platonic ideal of a guy, or else He's just full of Himself. Gnosticism is in agreement that Platonic Guy exists, but disagrees Yahweh is the Guy.
>>97379909Indeed. Gnosticism (or rather proto-gnosticism from the pagan mysteries) also had some influence on some of the jews writing the NT, which is why you see things like anti-natalism in there.
do they explain how *not highlander Immortals* AKA perpetuals came into being? or Emperor was just lucky to be born as super special mutie (perpetual + alpha ++ spyker)? I Know old lore that he was supposed to be soul construct of thousands of early mankind spykers, but IIRC it was retconned in HH books as no longer valid/Emperor being *just* powerful mutie who happens to be very very lucky winner of genetic lottery?
So I bought this as I really like Conan 2d20 System and I was surprised that system appears to be very rules lite compared to Conan 2d20 or WHFR 4E and a lot of rules and stuff appears to be on GM to flesh out. Usually i pay for RPG books because i don't want to figure out how much damage or to hit modifier some fancy sword has but in Dune core rulebook, its precisely that, book demands that i figure it out instead of giving me stat blocks. may be its just I'm retarded, or this system is lazy slop cashing in on movie craze?
>>97378467Your loss. The way they handled Star Trek Adventures was Rules Light and crunch-heavy. Tons and tons and tons of play options, ship stats and setups, races and functions and things to do. A player economy of stress and success to push back and forth and extended tests that could last an hour. All managed with an incredibly simplistic, 2d20 (or up to 5d20) roll. It's genuinely a masterpiece of TTRPG design.
>>97378943>We put in all this effort to include stuff>But then we made it pointless by reducing it all to a single roll>This is "elegant" and not "fucking retarded shrimplified trash for ickle babbies"
>>97378943"My loss" would be wasting more time and money with yet another system claiming to be a game, only to end up hearing "sorry that doesn't fit in with the story I'm trying to tell" and sitting around doing nothing while retards make voices at each other most of the session.That aside, if I wanted Dune and Star Trek, I'd just go watch their respective media.It isn't really my loss at all, because I'd rather spend my time testing mechanics I like to use in a game someday.
>>97378875> How does it set up "the session." That I don’t know, I only skimmed the book before shelving it.But if I were to speculate, given the power and status the PCs are likely to poses right out of the gate, my guess would be to expect the game to play more like an open-world sandbox. The degree to which being based on status.
I asked one of veteran players at my local hobby shop/club and they said that Dune is similar to Fate as a lot of what you can do is moderated by "assets" you have, which can range from character aspects like "honorable" or "Duelist", to special knowledge you have like kompromats or special gear you have. Assets work in similar fashion as aspects in fate. They also said item i have (agents of dune) is good for initial run and getting hang of the system as its designed to ease in into using system fully. >>97378875like >>97379650 said, your PC are either heads of house or very high ranking retainers so its usual stuff of increasing prestige/power of the house, corporate warfare between rival houses (as each house produce stuff, so you want to sabotage competitors while protecting yours) and appeasing powerful factions such as sisterhood, guild, the Emperor etc.

Can you use an effect that doesn't have a viable target if you just want to choke the opponent? Like if I have Laplace in my hand and I'm on 0 memory, can I use the Laplace to push my opponent to 1 even though their field is empty?

So I tend to run high-powered games with lots of homebrew and shenanigans going on in PF1e/D&D3.5e/d20 systems/etc. and I've used plenty of optional rulesets and such and tend to allow copious (some would even say insane) amounts of 3pp and alt content as long as I have a chance to review it first and it seems like it'd fit. Among other things I have used the Mythic rules for some of my games and overall I do find some of the content rather overboard even for my games. I have also granted players customized extras (that occasionally scale) before, once I called them "atavisms".I am trying to design an "add-on" system that's a bit more regular for my games instead of the random campaign specific stuff I've done for people. I'm just not entirely sure what to call this though and I was hoping you lot might have some interesting suggestions (barring making up my own word ofc).Thus far some name ideas include> atavisms> blessings> boons> awakenings (there is a 3pp system for these)> gifts> modifications/mods> templates> splats (WoD reference)> sides (eating lol)Comment too long.
