wait and see if they redo Brayarth Ashmantle for a Journal

personally think it'd be cool if he had a new model that was like a Cortus-Leviathan, squared off and lower down

>>97175863
generally when a game is nearing end of life, each print run is intentionally smaller (the company doesn't want to be stuck with a flop with 100,000 copies of dead weight nobody wants) so rarity skyrockets. It's common for all games... I'm bummed because the game of thrones LCG basically printed 1% as many of the final dragons expansion as the first 6-7 expansions (since they already knew the game was ending internally), which made it entirely impossible to get as there were so many more total players than available copies.
I've seen copies of that final rare expansion selling for like $200 while an entire collection of all 8 expansions and 3 core sets and all this other stuff goes for $300. Anyone not retarded with money just ends up skipping the rare parts when this happens (just stick to PDFs, prints or proxies stand-ins instead)

>>97176404
brayarth ashmantle is already in the Legacies so he's never getting a journal.

>>97176404
the boxnaut model is used as Cassian Dracos in 30k. Brayarth Ashmantle is a warhammer 40,000 person. "755.M41 got fucked by genestealers while using a thunderhammer to hold them off, placed into a dreadnought built by vulkan", so yeah... warhammer41k characters don't mean new 30k kits.

They're basically the androids from Blade Runner but much more dangerous, with built in weapons and super strength. Them snapping and going on violent rampages to rebel against their human owners is what inspired Cyberpsychosis in the lore.

Not exactly a gun person so can someone explain why .45 is low power? It does 2d6+2 while 10mm which is supposed to be high power does 2d6+3

>>97175925
10mm ammo is higher velocity than 45 ACP, and Kinetic Energy = ½ mass*velocity2. It just hits its target harder. Historically 10mm's a newer round than 45 ACP and 9mm and there's never been a real push to equip 10mm sidearms to military/law enforcement in the same way that 45 ACP/9mm got widely adopted, so it's also seen as more niche round. General advice is carry no smaller than 10mm for woods self-defense (ie bears and big cats), with 45 ACP being less favorable again due to physics.

>the central thesis of Cyberpunk is that there will be a countercultural movement that is willing and able to take the latest and greatest cutting edge technology by the neck and use it to fight against the Man
>the ease and availability of music recording will allow countercultural Rockerboys to fight. The ease and portability of video and sound recording will allow Media to take it to the wall and shame corrupt corps and government. Technology is so widespread and cheap that Techs can make and share technology for their communities. Cyberware and weapons are so cheap that any rebel with a cause can get enough personal power and lethality to make a difference.
Now that I think about it Cyberpunk is like the most absurdly optimistic cyberpunk RPG setting out there. We've got most of that shit in real life and none of that shit is happening enough to make a difference.

Does anyone have the metal Dwarf Engineers that GW currently sells (and have opinions on them)? Doing more reading on Dwarves, the Expeditionary Force aspect of the army seems exactly the idea I had in mind when imagining a Dwarf army, and figure getting them as a core of characters would be a good idea.

I think that was the initial plan, but they ended up scrapping it. I believe when they were designing the Winter Korps one, they couldn't think of a good idea that would translate over to Old Umbrey. I think that's why Orgoth had monstrosities, when time for the Reaper Covenant to be released, they'd change them to be beasts for them.

And the female is branded with the mark of the moon and forced to wander the endless dark tunnel's of the underworld for the rest of her life.

Or they can both wear iron full face covering masks and chastity belts and serve the tribe as willing slaves that do anything non sexual the rest of the tribe tells them to. And the only way for them to end there sentence is to win raids on other races and take good breeding slaves that they use to breed good strong orcs that are better than they are. It depends on tribe by tribe but the numbers the orc mother priestesses wont from such repentant orcs is normally ten healthy and strong orc babies. And yes this is normally harder and slower for orc women what with them being the bottle neck that slows the process down for themselves.

Unless you all think orc females should have big litters every time they give birth or not. With female breeding slaves only giving birth to one orc at a time.

One woman has miraculously managed to hold herself up to avoid choking but her grip started to slip due to fatigue just as the PCs arrived. Quick thinking by the PCs and an even quicker arrow sliced off the noose before she choked to death.
- age reversal
>one of the NPCs the PCs have met is not as young as she seems. She's actually an adult woman who drank a disguised Potion of Longevity and I rolled max on how many years younger she became. PCs knows something is off about her but haven't asked about it.
- body modification/alteration
>there are at-least two magic-users in my notes who will use Alter Self to switch gender/sexual organs or just enlarge their dick/tits/ass if they feel like it. PCs have not met any yet.
- dommy muscle mommy
>the ruler of one of the nations is a brass dragon who's preferred humanoid form is described in my notes as "sun-baked bronzed-skinned muscular goliath woman"
Yes i stole it from this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CUSQ1yM6zT4 [/spoiler
- mind control/mind break
>the BBEG rules by Geas and the BBEGs legit side of his organization often bring magical rings or amulets as gifts when visiting royalty. Those items have a subtle geas that doesn't show up as Cursed, but will slowly, over weeks or even months, infect the wearers mind with loyalty towards the BBEG.

This is in addition the various disguised prostitution dens, temples to love/pleasure and

>incest
PCs have met several couples or families where everyone has very similar facial features. Some have been hamlet hookups, other have been instances of keeping the royal bloodline pure
>slave race companions
The Soulforged, my version of warforged, is a race created not just for war but for every kind of labor in a era of severe population shortages after a massive invasion of, and subsequent rebellion against, unseelie fey forces. Some were created with the express purpose of being companions. This includes at least one instance of /ss/ where a female-presenting soulforged was creates as a guardian, teacher and companion for a young prince.
>nudism
Several druidic circles believe nudism makes it easier for them to commune with nature.

There is other stuff (including one very interesting character that ticks a lot of my fetish/kink boxes as well as some waifu ones) but since i know at least two of my players hang out here on /tg/ i don't want to spoil the surprise

“Oh, he’s probably going to lasso the comet” said Blaize. She stared down Toto as he nodded soberly, stood up, then sat back down again. “You are taking this REALLY well, I have to say” she remarked as I jumped into the sky.

“I’m still processing the fact that the primeval humans of myth that existed before time and space are real, I just don’t see the point in getting upset about it” he admitted. “I mean, we’re absolutely going to crush the other teams aren’t we?”

“We are” she agreed as I swung the comet around and around into a stable orbit, where it could be dissected so it’s energy dispersal properties could be applied in a more organised and productive way.

“W-where am I?” mumbled Slave-Queen Hadiya several days later, as she stumbled out of a bacta tank to find herself wearing the traditional slave dancer outfit that was the Final Shape of all Twi’lek women.

“You’re at the Sith Embassy, about to sign over all your holdings to defence in perpetuity. In exchange for the privilege of my first disciple in the ENLIGHTENED method of using the Dark Side, you will be paid in the experience that is the highest state of being for your species. Oh, and free room and board”

She stared at the palatial harem room she found herself in, fingered the kyber crystal piercings, collar and vibrators I’d shoved into her to constantly force her body to subconsciously attune to the Force, and realised I’d modified most of her body into a low level erogenous zone. “…you know, I SHOULD be deeply offended now my public reputation has been destroyed buuuut” she said, licking her lips. Not just in lust, but seeing the riches and weaponry I’d casually laid out for her consideration “…I could get used to this”

“Amazing really, what sapient life can get used to. Isn’t that right, Rakata?”

She looked over to what I was talking to. A chute opened to walls and walls of square-shaped flesh that looked back at her, helplessly squirming. “The funny thing is, they don’t even feel any pain” I mused, “and they’re STILL upset that they’re finally, finally contributing a useful purpose for the betterment of all sapient life”

“Who? Oh, there’s my old clothes-and ugh, they reek”

“Just toss them here, this structure’s purpose is to consume all filth”

If you want Assault Mech speeds stick to Assault Mechs.

>>97176158
In my experience stuff like that only really matters if you care about salvaging or the pilot surviving. I can understand being a bit miffed if you're playing a more long form campaign style game and you end up with a mech with exploding torsos because whoever gets in that will probably die eventually.

>>97175819
Not really, no. This is a deliberate part of the setting, because if it's too easy to shoot down DropShips, ground forces can't get to planets to have the ground fights the game is actually about

>>97174071
My friend was like that as well and now he loves the setting. We convinced him to join a Dark Heresy campaign as a tribal death world recruit, so he could still play as a "fantasy" character, just thrown into a very alien world. He enjoyed it very much and soon got fully into 40k.

Honestly nice thing about 40k is that depending on what you prefer you can present it as almost hard sci-fi with a few soft elements, you can present it as almost fantasy with a big focus on space knights and daemons, or you can present it as something in-between. So maybe just ask your players to give it a try for a single one-shot and lean more towards the second approach, who knows, maybe it will buy them. Just don't shower them in lore right out of gate

Honestly from my experience people who claim they "don't like sci-fi" mostly have stuff like Star Trek or classic raypunk space operas in mind. Which is still abysmally shit taste, but 40k is almost as far away from that tonally and aesthetically as it is from D&D. And if they refuse to even give it a single try out of courtesy for you, that's just being a stubborn asshat

>>97172442
gork and mork were created with the species, along with the Eldar gods. These "racial gods" are engineered psychic defence systems to ensure that these races do not create malevolent entities in the warp. The Eldar fucked this up by abandoning the worship of their own gods and becoming hedonists, while the Orks simply degraded because they were a rushed project made purely for fighting and the old ones were no longer around to reel them in.

>>97172900
this is genuinely fucking terrible display from players. When I GM the players have ZERO say over what happens outside of their IC choices, they don't get to "plan arcs" or tell me where the campaign will head, and they dont get to retcon anything either.

Also players need to learn that gear can be lost, this is not a video game where you get to keep a fancy gun forever. God Im so angry on your behalf, I hope thsoe faggots all get what is coming to them

They didn't want to play his campaign and walked away. He's salty about it and tried to make them look like cartoon villains. I realize I'm biting engagement bait, but there's a slim chance some idiot is going to get as mad as you're pretending to be, so I'm going to post it anyway.

Haven't read the thread yet but are there many examples of armies in D&D? I'd imagine outside of B/X, full scale armies would be bullshit and OP, making the setting a bit OTT marvelesque?

You get a similar thing when looking at TES military, it quickly becomes unfuckable garbage under scrutiny because armies have to be bulked out by generic infantry, cavalry & archer units when in reality even Joe the Shoe Cobbler can be slinging spells like an elite troop.

So, I said back at the start I really want to do a Githyanki army as part of this project, and this is my tentative outline for it so far...

LORDS Not sure how to handle the iconic Gish as a Lord unit.
>Grand Commander (the vanilla/customizable lord)
>Hand of Vlaakith (Githyanki Knight Lord)
>High Warlock (Warlock Lord)

HEROES Not sure how to handle the iconic Gish as a Hero unit.
>Supreme Commander (the vanilla/customizable option)
>Warlock (Githyanki Wizard)
>Ch'r'ai (battle standard bearer + priest - maybe fold into Warlock as suboption)
>Duthka'gith Pyroclaust (Hero version of the Duthka'gith Holocaust Warriors, a Lore of Fire-wielding gish)
>Knight Commander (Hero version of the Githyanki Knight)

CORE UNITS Maybe just have one Troops, Githwarriors, and can build to represent Fighters, Scouts or Berserkers?
