>It was never directly stated that the Primarch's were clones.
It is literally write in the next editions (before Erda) how Primarchs were created 100% from Emperor's DNA.

>Salamanders were just black guys
Read OP again, "reverse albinos", BLACK-skinned caucasians (european skull and physiognomy).

>The custodes were 100% nothing because there were only four lines
Still, they were 100% males, if you want females you have the Sisters of Silence.

>The Emperor's motivations were always shady
Ok, at least back then he was not the "CEO of daddy issues".

>The Imperium were literally breeding with Eldar in the RT rulebook.
Ok, eldars are "human-like", you can have the "honorary humans" category, but at least the Imperium still was xenophobic in a cool way, without all the 50/50 Schrödinger's human supremacism of the current edition.

>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings,
Deadzone, Dragon Rampant, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander, Freebooter's Fate, Frostgrave, Gaslands, HeroClix,
Kings of War, Maelstrom's Edge, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Masters of the Universe: Battleground, Moonstone,
Oathmark, OnePageRules, Open Combat, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam, SAGA, StarCraft, Stargrave, Sludge, Urban War, Void,
Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenos Rampant, Xenotactics...
...and anything else that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread.

Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/

When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.

Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.

If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.

Let us continue.

Completely understandable friend just thought I would share is all, I got nothing better to do with my time currently

I feel like this edition has alot of objectively bad things about it and is absolutely where the alot of worst qualities of current editions showed up. But I feel like I prefer playing this edition compared to a lot of previous editions and 10th edition. Its a weird transitional period where there's still a lot of the old units that haven't been legended yet while still having the fucking Primaris lot. Its strange but I don't feel like I'm missing out on much staying on this edition and playing with friends casually instead of going back to playing the current edition.

I enjoy playing some Index era 8th casually from time to time, it feels a bit like core book 3rd and as long as you aren't dealing with WAAC tournament grinders (which nobody still playing 8th should be having to deal with) it is a very fun way to play the game as far as Modernhammer editions go. I still mostly play 2nd, a little 3rd and 5th but Index 8th is the newest form of the game to exist in my rotation and I don't see that changing for a long time.

>Least delusional Eldar player

I remember 3rd was when the delusional BS started, online all Eldar players were discouraging everyone from playing them as they were for advanced players only when all they did was stick starcannons on everything.

Saying 7th taudar was only dominant a short time or that it was only as bad as necrons is pure delusion. 1000pts of taudar can easily table 2000 pts of necrons. You could even table 5000 pts of orks

Now here's a thought:
What if, on the image board for discussing tabletop games, we actually talked about things relevant to tabletop games?
What if, in this thread with people who didn't get a satisfactory answer from a gay frogposter, we talked about ways a rogue-type character could adopt the role of a "tank" to protect a caster-type character in a given game?
That way, this thread would have a reason to exist beyond baiting faking board activity; we could actually have an on-topic discussion on the traditional games board for once.

How does that sound?

>>97231040
Well, there's the issue right there; this thread is predicated on unanswered questions in regards to a gay frogposter's likely fake scenario that didn't provide a game or hardly any context to begin with.
All we ("we" as in, those of us with interest in this topic) have to go on is it's supposedly a game, and has at least rogues and casters as character options, and features hostile monsters.

Ttrpgs are ultimately just cooperative storytelling with a dice game on top. It's up to every group whether they just wanna play the dice game or add a story to talk about. Obviously this narrative part of the game can be existential and question morale because often enough that is what makes a story memorable or good to begin with.

Each group can decide upon that themselves, I don't think we need a basedboy redditor to tell us.

I mean, Lecxifaggum are pretty much doing that already. Look at some of the pages for Marine chapters eg that have had recent edits, almost all the content relates to recent shit and the actual citations are all for post-Gathering Storm sources. The ones that still claim to use older material have them listed unnumbered in a little supplementary section at the end. They've purged huge amounts of "outdated lore" to the point that I don't even bother looking at it anymore because ~90% of the time the info on whatever I searched up is all nuslop trash.

Lex have always been Muh Official poofters.

I know this is a 1pbtID bot thread, but ive considered this before
so in my setting, the answer is that they are very widespread, numerous, and often tucked away into tight dark caves
they are used by stronger evil races as slaves, so you wont have access to all of them anyway without going against said stronger races
civilization in my setting is less widespread and more isolated from each other, so there is no real capacity to organize and man such an endeavor
elves, dwarves, hobbits, etc do pretty good at keeping them mostly out of their homelands except in low numbers

Edward isnt special in the powers he has. Hohenheim and his teacher can all also do circle-less transmutation, its just an effect of reaching the truth.
Edward is "special" because of his drive and perspective, because he is enough of an outsider to the system to not be particularly caught up in it and because he has a singular vision that pushes him to do what he does.

There are also other paladins in the universe. I'm not sure I understand your point. Did you think you were the only person on your side? If youre that bothered by people taking your "niche", you can pick people with abilities other than that; that's literally why they have abilities the player doesn't, so you can avoid overlap.

>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that focuses on simulation gameplay and has a black trenchcoat aesthetic.

Cyberpunk RED is the fourth edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG that is set after Cyberpunk 2020 following the Fourth Corporate War, focuses on more balanced gameplay and is more streamlined but has less content.

You can discuss Shadowrun here too because I also feel bad for those guys.

Depends entirely on the person. I like 2e because shadowrun, to me, will always be the early 90s roc paperbacks. I've also heard good things about 4th/5th. It seems like the most recommended is 20th anniversary.

Anarchy 2e looks promising, as well, if you're down for a more narrative game.

You should check out the 4th Corporate War books from 2020 in >>97200207. Obviously the corps aren't allowed to go that all-out anymore but it could inspire you.

My favorite cyberpunk ™ corporate job is employee extraction (very rarely the target actually does want to work for you!). It can get extra dicey if you're forced to extract the target's family from the company dorms or you can challenge your players morals when they find out the target is actually fine starting fresh and abandoning his family, probably to the streets.

You can also go nuts with the corp's defenses. The 4CW had stuff like concealed turrets that would pop out of the walls to defend against AV's flying around.

What corporation does your crew want to run for? Or which corporation looks like the most fun for you?
