>>97390261Horus was just another genewrought warlord with power and ambition enough to burn worldsOld Night never ended, it just started being documented
>>97390512why does your mom live in a graveyard? that's fucking weird dude
How did you decide on what company your army belonged to?
>>97390402>, each time someone tries to lean on one of these, it weakens the otherI dont know if I agree with that. Pride, the belief that he could do better and deserved to rule, does not weaken the idea that he might have been driven by a fear of being discarded, or that he saw the emperors final vision as horrific. Likewise chaos corrupting him doesent necessarily undo those other motivations.If horus were still afraid of being replaced, but not as proud and arrogant? He might have simply marched hesitantly to the grave, an inner conflict simmering within him without the will to act on it or the belief that he could, maybe he becomes fatalistic in his outlook. Without chaos being involved he might still move towards rebellion, but it would not be as extreme, as total, maybe he seeks to carve out his own empire rather than claim his fathers head. If he believed in the emperors vision he might have accepted the personal consequences, he might have been fine with being replaceable or doomed. It doesent have to be "only one reason", it might be a confluence of different factors and motivations.
>TQNeither.Horus was determined to betray the Emperor eventually. Chaos only gave him the justification to do so. He was prideful, arrogant, and turned on his creator the moment he was pressed with an inconvenient truth.Most Space Marines are unironically braver than Horus was because they endure in spite of their circumstances, not throw away everything because of them.

>>97389692Alright, to start with the basics: how big a House are you envisioning? Is it a handful of dudes hiding in a shadowland somewhere or a proper dynasty ruling over their own kingdom? As for Aspect, it might be good to not have them strongly favor any single Aspect. That'd be the most versatile option, at least, and it'd give you a chance to figure out how all the elements might look with some Underworld influence in them. If you prefer a single-Aspect House, though, I think Wood might be neat due to the contrast between the element most closely associated with life and with the House's obvious association with death. In practice, maybe a spiritually oriented House that takes a broad view on the natural cycles of birth, life and death, seeing unlife as a part of it, as a part that must at some point end and give way to the next phase, but one that's completely fine in itself? Alternatively, and as a more ambitious goal, the House might be attempting to bring life to the Underworld - working on creating plants and animals that can live, grow and procreate there, with the ultimate goal of making the Underworld as a whole less an unnatural aberration and more just a part of the world. Mechanically I assume these guys are still plain old Dragon-Blooded, with DB Charms and some Ghost-Blooded tricks in addition to that, but it might be cool to throw in a couple of House-specific Charms reflecting their unique heritage. No specific ideas on that right at the moment, though.What about the House's origin, beyond them having had plenty of Underworld-aspected people before they started fucking ghosts? Maybe it could be a House that sought refuge in the Underworld during either the Usurpation or the Balorian Crusade and started mixing with ghosts at that time. A First Age Solar-loyalist gens that retreated to the Underworld when it became clear that their side was losing could be interesting. Comment getting too long, so I'll leave it at this for now.
I don't want to sound retarded, but I'm having trouble getting this, I don't know if it's the wording or something. Can someone explain how this works in other terms?
>>97390485Two of same means you actually get doubles on the next lower result. So two effects of double 9s means you get double 8s. If you have two different doubles effects, such as 8 or 9, you only use the lower number because it's better.
>>97390608I was under the impression that anything from 7 to 9 is a success anyway, are lower rolls always better?
Wait, maybe I'm getting it now. So some effects make you take double success on some numbers, and if you have multiples of the same you go down, but every number above that is also doubled. I was thinking only the specified number would be doubled.

>>97390320Doesn't Destiny have the better BT integration though?

>>97386832>Do you draw boundaries in your setting for different types of games, different cultural and ecological biomes of sorts with a different selection of races, or even classes?I'm using ages for that, with tech levels and avaible races depending on which age the game is set. All of them take place on the same continent, just at different spots in the timeline.
>>97386461It's for a modern day CoC game set in the mid-west.
>Making space opera setting>Much of it is based off the succession wars after the death of Alexander the Great>Realize most of the major characters I've written are essentially fighting over whether or not space alexander would have fucked themShould I keep going down this trajectory or change things a little?
>>97314398the solution is to charge head first source: I slapped my players into the setting I'm making and figuring details on the go(redone hierarchies around 4 times already but the party is looking to interact more so I guess I'm doing pretty good)
>>97376457depending on their power and how easy it is to become a mage, their existence could seriously threaten the monopoly of power by any rulership class.Like if you're not careful any exploited/discriminated group could produce an indivdiual capable of taking down a nation.>>97375909honestly depending on the setting the power dynamic between those two is so great, that any relationship forming would have to avoid really hard to not become fucked up.Like imagine a relationship with someone who can just rewrite your personality with a thought.

>>97390621I really don't know, it just seems common in 80's era orcs. I guess it's because they're so inhuman that they can't possibly have human-shaped clothes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoAfb3f04mo
I need a new GOOD fantasy race to base a campaign region around.
>>97388119First of all bats aren't birds Second a lot of bird species can have vastly different wings made for speed or long flight and even protection if you want to get creative you could also make penguin wings for swimming while also having a shit ton of color variants you could possibly use like tropical parrots or barn owls
>>97389663i also forgot to mention the variety of personal bird abilities like being able to eat bones like a vulture or to shoot fucking poison from your mouth like a hooded pitohui

I mean it is weirdly bare of setting info. Second Edition forgot to add a map, but still talks like we're supposed to know where things are.It also has art by Freddie Williams, who went on do do actual art for the Ninja Turtles comics. If I were playing, I'd use the rules from the new Ninja Turtles Redux books in the setting of AtB

>>97389287Adeptus Custodes are not humans, so disputes about about bodies of humans like muscle density or choromosomes or wombs are irrelevant. They run on space magic and the only human thing in them is the soul (not really, they can't dispute the Emperor so their soul is mutilated to lack free will).
>>97389097Also wrong.Women are kept away from teh frontlines because they can only make one baby every 9 months.One man can begin that nine month process multiple times a day.That's literally it.The instant we get artificial wombs/eggs and baby farms, women will be drafted just as fast as men. Flesh is flesh at the end of the day, and it all absorbs bullets.
>>97389345>beginning of the endThat ship sailed ages ago.This is just a continuation.Still, 40k fans are the most ravenous corporate-shit eaters I've ever witnessed, so the franchise will endure.

>>97389576They'll be showing off the new rules in February. But historically, First Blood has always lagged significantly behind Last Argument in terms of resources and attention from both the company and the community. While I'm hopeful the new version is decent and turns things around for First Blood, I'm not holding my breath until I see the actual rules.

It fucking sucks.Long live V20.That's the thread.
>>97387520I like the hunger dice because it forces you to tolerate a certain amount of inherent risk, and it makes vampires inherently dangerous and violent creatures instead of guys with superpowers. It's a mechanic that makes the players act with verisimilitude in the setting. That's the best kind of mechanic. Hunger dice are rock solid. Disciplines are still fucked up, but then, they were already fucked up.
>>97389021I don't hate hunger innately, but having constant rouse checks is too much and I feel like you are punished excessively for trying to be more than just some dude (bloodsucker)Yes perhaps blood was too liberal with how much you could fuck around, but hunger feels too oppressive imo. Would be better in a middle ground between the two so as players feel the edge of using disciplines without also losing control of your character from just trying to be a vamp. Hunger also goes very poorly with blood potency
>>97389021>guys with superpowerswhy v5 shills always say the samedo you have a script or something
>>97388407>>97388480Reasonable gentlemen.
>>97389021It's a matter of opinion. There are a lot of gamers who are risk-averse and try to optimise the risk out of every scenario, which you simply can't do with Hunger. Every rouse check is a fifty-fifty, simple as. The only way to optimise the risk out of the Hunger is to minimise the number of rouse checks, in which case you're barely playing a vampire at all.It's a mechanic that works best for people who are comfortable with risk and adapting to whatever the situation is and making a story out of it. As /tg/ has always been home to players who prefer tactical gaming and character optimisation, it makes sense that most people here dislike the Hunger system.

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.

>>97372311Heirloom. I always start my players off with a minor magic item that makes sense for their backstory. I let them homebrew it too if they can justify it and it's not too strong
