Realistically, what would happen first if the Emperor woke up? I wonder if the main reason he didn't want to be worshiped as a god is because the prayers would change him. Humans worship him and have created him to be some merciless being demanding reverence and since belief is power in this setting I wonder if he would be changed into that by now.
>>97276305The entire human sphere would turn into a daemonic realm but Emperor style. Both the best and worst thing that can happen.
The Golden Throne is what is preventing the Emperor from becoming the Dark King, right? I'm not sure I understood that part of the lore. Its been so long since I've kept up with the lore I'm sure I've gotten it confused.
>>97276595Don't worry anon, everyone else is confused too, on account of it not making a goddamn lick of sense.Invent a subsector and roll up two or three factions to fight over something inconsequential in it, you'll have more fin that way.
>>97276595Almost all of the crappy OC "deep lore" HH writers tried to stash in there sucks and is completely inconsequential for the setting as a whole. Just ignore it

>>97276076Fuck off. You're coming into this thread asking for people to defend an aspect of the game when you aren't even prepared to defend your reason for continuing to participate when you clearly aren't having fun. If you don't like something that's been integral to the game for almost a decade at this point, be normal and fucking play something else instead of coming into these communities kicking up a storm because other people are having more fun than you are.
>dare to criticise any aspect of YGO>anon assblasted beyond reasonlol

>>97276041Yeah it's strange, almost makes it feel like there are multiple people in the same thread.
Truly terrible thread.
how did you explain having literal blue human women in your scifi setting?

This is retarded and you're retarded for coming up with it.

>>97276576>science can only be appreciated if it's as unexplainable and opaque, and therefore amazing, as the natural world was through the lense of ancient cultures without the same amount of actual scientific knowledgekek.

Or, it is just another way of a saying “no it’s better!” while coming across as a pretentious ass, a la “no it’s a miracle!”, as though the word for miracle didn’t come from Latin’s word for wonder, as though magic hasn’t been associated with mystery since forever, even before Latinmeds, now>>97276591>The knowledge of nature offered by the wizards is seen as incredibly esoteric, magical, like the black powder employed by Gandalf for fireworks, or Saruman for explosive weapons of war. Tolkien absolutely saw machinery and warfare as wicked and indistinguishable from sorcery.Yes. But that is called "metaphor", not "science as actual magic".Tolkien also absolutely saw the distinction between magic and actual science. The machines and industry of Saruman and Mordor are based off the industrial development he saw in England itself and how destructive it was towards the natural word, all in the name of greed and powermongering
>>97276644> it IS unnaturalNope. Reality is reality. Not responding to you any further. I win.
>>97276644> Yes. But that is called "metaphor", not "science as actual magic".All magic is a metaphor or stand-in for the unknown; magic is a proxy by nature the same way religion is; but the unknown isn’t unnatural

>>97275017>what causes this phenomenon?Contrary to what brainlets will tell you, 40k's continued success and popularity rests primarily on the simple fact that GW design, manufacture, and sell the best heroic scale science-fantasy miniatures in the world.Trench Crusade, on the other hand, is in itself basically just a shitpost.

>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
>>97276344>You're effectively two dudes sitting back to back, both swinging your weapons around.Vanilla, for sure. I could see there being a separate skill/feat for whatever game you're in to complement partner combat. >brothers in arms-Melee attacks made within 5 feet of a comrade have +3~7 to hit (scales with level) >mounted specialists-Attacks while mounted ignore armor If you wanted a specifically mounted centaur-style feat speciality intended for a centaur PC+ human PC combo.>True Jockey - While mounted on a teammate, whichever player's initiative roll is highest counts for both players, and they share the same turn for actions. Furthermore, both players have (some other affinity bonus to encourage mounted play).In theory, you could swap out all these feats for other kinds of players as well, assuming the mounted PC person was strong enough to carry the "jockey"PC. >Stables exist and could be made to accommodate centaurian creatures as much as any mounts.I guess, I would think in regions where centaurs are a regular sight, there'd be room inside inns to accomdate them so they don't feel "left out" (can't leave your centaur waifu outside all night, even if they're oaky with it). In regions where they're less common, they'd have to settle for an outdoor stable for sure.>I guess would could make, say, reinforced skirts that hung down to protect their legs?You can give them a chainmail or gambeson skirt for sure, but your weight becomes an issue if you pile too much shit on. Probably better off focusing on upper body protection with higher mobility rather than armoring the legs. >Getting into combat could be the last resort to crush an already defeated opponent.You mean if they're ranged focused? I think they could do well in melee with the right weapons.>>97276367Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97276494>Centaurs aren't as good as mounted men>Men have more flexibility, their legs and upper bodies can lean and bend and change. Having the "Rider" be attatched to the horse by a spine actually does signifigantly worse their fighting abilityRule of cool. Having a centaur raging on the battlefield sounds like fun to me. >Also, horses are aerodynamic, putting a person there makes them slowerThey'd still outpace a human. At least in fantasy contexts. Once steam/combustion engines show up, that speed advantage dries up in certain situations. >I personally don't like centaurs in fantasy, because they feel unnatural. They show signs of deliberate genetic meddling and it bothers me to see things without an explanation like thatFair point. I've yet to get a good explanation for how they might have come about in any fantasy context other than, "Some god wanted a laugh, so he blended a horse and a dude together."In a si-fi/non-fantastical context, it's even worse. Outside of weird cyborgs/advanced genetic engineering, there's not really a place for them. On the other hand, I like centaurs and HORSE PUSSY, so suck it.
>>97276510>You can give them a chainmail or gambeson skirt for sureEven just a thick cloth skirt can provide some protection. Or do one of those ring armour type things, where it's cloth or leather with very large metal rings sown into it. Good for giving the armour some slash resistance, which is probably the more common form of attack against a centaur's legs anyway.>You mean if they're ranged focused? I think they could do well in melee with the right weapons.If you have a highly mobile body, best to use it. Especially when you can get that body to do exactly what you want, rather than holding on and hoping it'll go exactly where you want it to go. Of course you don't have to be exclusively ranged, it all depends on the terrain as well.

>>97276299I've sometimes dabbled with the idea of a racial dissatisfaction with magitech centaurs, similar to those types in old movies who were desperate to "do their bit" or, more bluntly, "get out in the shit". The nation's founding mythology and regimental histories are festooned with mentions of your forebears quite literally riding over the hill to save the kingdom, and now you're reduced to garrison and security patrols at best because these days you're just a big silhouette.

Do you guys use Bastions? Any tips or advice for running these as a first time DM? The mechanic is extremely appealing to all us, and my players just hit level 3 and they're absolutely jonesing for more cool stuff.
>>97276574The one time I used it the mechanics felt very forced and kind of shit.
>>97276574Don't. Anytime it comes to base building and shit, adding mechanics to it and numbers turns it to complete shit because the players are now dealing with a completely different game and it stalls things further when the party is out doing shit and events are triggering at the base.Any time you do base building simplify it as much as possible. Give the current state of affairs, money, food, populace. When players are at the base think of quests to give them and problems that place can have. When the players leave determine what possible problems were left behind (crime gangs? bandits? a hag living among the people? raiders from a neighbor?) and just do a single roll and determine things that happened.
>>97276599That's disappointing.>>97276634Do you think it functions as a decent foundation for homebrewed mechanics? I'm not really sure I follow the bit about mechanics. The book seems to believe you're supposed to manage your Bastion turns while away from the table, not at it.
>>97276689>I'm not really sure I follow the bit about mechanics. Let's put it this way. You have a small castle with a village surrounding it. Your players own this and want to keep it safe. Goblins and gnolls live near the area and are a constant threat.The players think, "Oh, I want to outfit a small patrol with horses to keep caravans coming to and out of our place safe."With stupid module rules, you now need to complicate things. The town need a Stables building for the horses. They then need an Armory for weapons/armors. They then need Barracks for the new unit to sleep in. They then need Training Grounds to have them trained and ready for battle. Alright, gotta take turns building those buidlings, then spend x amount of gold and then reduce population number by x because you recruited people, now lets do upkeep cost of gold and food, shit shit shit.All of this above can be done better by simplifying shit and roleplay. Rather than go through all those stupid mechanics, you can have the players go around recruiting people, say they quickly buy weapons, armors, and horses (Maybe ask for discount since these will be the protectors of the town), say that your Fighter gives them two week's worth of hard drills and training, and voila. No need for complicated numbers, required buildings, x turns x gold x upkeep mechanic bullshit over roleplay.
