What is the correct way to handle female priestess? Historically women weren't part of the clergy, so you don't have a lot of references to drawn from in regards to their attitude.
>>97254880>Historically women weren't part of the clergy,A myopic statement even within the bounds of Christianity and one that becomes hilariously wrong as soon as you look outside the Abrahamic religions. Given that many fantasy settings have entire pantheons without any Abrahamic deity to be found, Christian history shouldn't be used as a reference to begin with.
>>97256482Already has.
>>97256421>women were deaconesses from Antiquity to High Middle Ages>deacons are clergy but are not priests>D&D cleric includes priest but not deacon>female religious does not imply female clericDeaconesses, Nuns, Sisters and Abbesses all fell under the D&D cleric class in the past. Female Religious have long been depicted in various D&D content with the cleric class. You are just playing with semantics in order to avoid the point that historical holy women associated with active religions have long been associated with cleric style miracles which would make them fall under the cleric class.
>>97256421>pedantryDid you make this thread only to show off a cursory knowledge of the history (or lack thereof) in the church?That seems to be the case, as you keep trying to steer the discussion away from non-Christian priestesses/oracles/etc.You can try to make analogues between real life clerical roles and D&D classes (though I would suggest using your time more fruitfully), but one would think it pertinent to remember real life historical Christian clergymen didn't go dungeon delving, clobber goblins with flails or worship Thor as a 1st edition D&D cleric likely did.This is not the 'gotcha /tg/!' you think it is, you are just coming across as unhinged and unable to comprehend abstractions and the nature of the 'fantasy' genre.
>>97254880The church of England recently had a global schism after its first female archbishop of Canterbury. Make of that what you will.It's also hilarious to see Bongloids argue how schismatism is actually a bad thing. A few centuries too late for that, buddy.

Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.

I've been working on a game for about five years and wanted to share it, but I can't seem to upload pdfs anymore. Why is this? I thought /tg/ was the hub for sharing rules systems. A lot of the stuff I played while designing was downloaded from the sharethread, are they also suffering from this?

>>97254355You don't teach your kids by locking them up with a psycho and telling them to "figure it out". Learning involves making mistakes, but I've seen too many good people meet an ugly end to buy that any of this shit is for our own good. That's abuser talk. Yeah, kids have to fall down and scrape their knee to realize that maybe they should watch where they're running. That's so many orders of magnitude less severe than what even garden variety monsters get up to. You also need to protect and nurture your children, because if you don't, they'll wind up dead or borderline feral traumatized wrecks incapable of functioning outside of rote survival. There's no nurturing, no protection, he's just locked us in a cage together and is watching us eat ourselves, by your own claim that all monster shit is human in origin.Which I don't buy for a damn second, are you telling me demons are fake? Or that they're actually just humans? What about the fairies from fairyland, not the people they take, the big boys who did the taking? They're also just humans in a clever disguise?Man I didn't even want to get stuck into this theological debate, but your dumb ass comes in with this rote repetition of dogma while insisting all the world's monsters can be fixed with an axe and fire? Shit no hunter I've ever met could say with a straight face one method can kill every monster. You're delusional. You haven't left the shallows if you think the scale of destruction some of these can wreak is in the same ballpark as what we can do.
>>97254355>they're just magical animals or magical humansDemons are very much real and as dangerous, if not more, as the legends say. Each one of these demons, witches and monsters requires a different approach. You have a lot to learn and I hope you live long enough to do so.
>>97254355And who's been telling you this? Have you actually encounter anything that doesn't have an enforced rest period? You haven't been employing more than school yard tactics from what you mentioned. I fear to imagine how easy you would turn on your fellow humans if something whispered in your ear. >>97253981They can entertain other explanations, at least.
>>97254815>>97254889>>97255152It's not dogma, it's the truth, not all my brothers feel the same way by the way, so don't mix me and my beliefs in with my duty as a Hunter. Some of them arent even Christian, the Maltese Cross is that of firefighters,mit goes beyond just Christianity. Our physical existence doesn't matter, the most grievous wound to our body or mind does nothing to our soul. It's not our bodies that will leave this world of darkness.Demon ARE real! You've got me there. I've had to slay more than a few myself. Fae are just fallen angels but might as well work on the same principals. Bound by words, wounded by iron, etc. Demons are the only real "outside threat" so you've got me there. But even then, demons are not typical Hunter targets, it's mostly ghosts & vampires, & werewolves, & monsters.
>>97255152I'm fine with them as long as they don't do anything stupid and don't question my methods.

In my setting, empowerment occurs on a cyclical basis and has been since time immemorial, leading to the old myths of gods and monsters having been based in fact. It occurs about once every hundred years, leading to "generations" of superpowered beings popping up across the globe.

>>97255926Probably, there are endless warp entities which GW just doesn't have the time to write about, so they focus on the big 4 and whatever else their writers feel like writing. If you want to make a Bombadil-esque god for your game, go for it.
>>97255926>>97256312I should add, ofc warp gods exist through sentient emotion/belief in them. So in creating not!Bombadil you have to ask yourself who tf in the universe is feeding him and how - perhaps he is a manifestation of some mixture of folly/carefree-ness/apathy, fed by wanton wanderlust and desire to faff about (in a universe constantly at war giving its residents purpose these emotions are rare and fleeting, hence his status as a minor god).
>>97255656>>97255779>>97255851Is there a clear outlier for any pieces of wargear or equipment between what's in DH1 and what's in IM? If there's something that stands out, you could probably make a fair amount of profit with forex trading between thrones and solars.

Ghoul Stars>Region of space inhabited by scary monsters >They're scarier and more monstrous than all the other scary monsters (just take our word for it)>No you can't see it, we're never going to show you, and it's never gonna be in the gamesThe harrowing>Imperium is invaded by monsters from another dimension that is scary and incomprehensible (but also it isn't the warp)>They're scary and incomprehensible (so basically Chaos but Chaosier)>No you can't see it, we're never going to show you, and it's never gonna be in the gamesWhat is the point of this?
>>97256249Because at one point the wargame encouraged your dumb ass to make your own chaos but chaosier kitbash, with new setups like GW actively discouraging kitbashing it means GW has no reason to write that stuff. It's telling because the fluff he's complaining about is like 20+ years old. The nu-lore would exist purely to complement a product launch.
>>97255841... do you not set your explorator, rogue trader or inqusitional rpgs, skirmish scenarios and campaigns in whatever the fuck section of the galaxy you want? >what is the point of this? A kitchen sink setting with gestural world building you can use as inspiration for your own fun. If you need the corporate slop version and are upset they haven't poured another fat shit down your throat you get what you deserve..
>>97256279>Because at one point the wargame encouraged your dumb ass to make your own chaos but chaosier kitbashCustom armies are fun to talk about but implementing them in an actual game is another story. If I wanted to make a custom army based on aliens from the ghoul stars, I would not only need a reasonably fair set of rules for them but I would also need other players to recognize and agree to those rules. It's a hell of a lot easier to do that if it comes straight from the company's mouth.
OK, how about this: the Ghoul Stars are home to C'Tan loyalist Necrons. Maybe they got sick of all the infighting and sheer stupidity their people descended into after they got free and decided they liked being mindless enforcers for evil gods better. Or maybe they don't even realize the revolt happened and either got put in stasis early before the other ones revolted or their data is just so corrupted they forgot they don't work for the C'Tan anymore. They've managed to collect a bunch of shards to try to fix their gods, but considering how screwed up their brains are they can't put them back together right, assuming it's even possible, and the shards have turned into some big, horrifying mass of HP Love-crap that does unspeakable things to anyone that gets too close.
>>97255841what does this even mean? you want to buy a couple more $60 books filled with broken stratagems that will be eliminated when they release 11th in a few months?

>>97254299That would work as a predecessor to a dreadnought. It would be the piloted frame that a techmarine would install the life support system keeping a crippled marine alive so he could continue fighting as a dreadnought. Someone just completely forgot that the dreadnought frames are pretty much lost tech when that was designed.
>>97252723could have =/= should have feel free to make your own threads, that's the idea otherwise check your spam box for your janny application
>>97256095Dreads still serve their purpose as a way for marines to keep fighting as zombies.The idea of using the frame to empower a still very abled marine isn't that farfetched at all and in fact way easier than hooking a brain to command it.If the vehicle is destroyed you might still get a full marine still ready to fight.
This makes sense from a military perspective>Have a powerful vehicle>But only use it for broken marines when it could be a force muiltiplier used by healthy marines.The only stupíd thing is making it a scout with no armor.
>>97256314yeah but>have a powerful and incredibly precious dreadnought chassis>shove some dead marine in it>now you have a dreadnought on top of your other marinesThe other problem is the removal of a neat grimdark concept, your marines are led to believe it's a great honor to be encased in a dreadnought but the loss of humanity is just horrible. That's also why boxnaughts are superior, they're weird clunky machines without knees or even arms, like the bag of organs piloting it.
