Given how complicated 2nd edition was it would be a big job. Though it would be funny to see HH adapted into any other warhammer ruleset.

I for one want to see the AoS and Necromunda versions. The former I think would be funny, and the later might actually be a good skirmish game.

Not as such. You will not become a Rogue Trader through such openly dastardly methods.

It is possible if you have the resources to steal a warrant and basically strongarm/fool/blackmail the respective authority to actually give you a pass.

Naturally, you need to be sufficiently wealthy to have an opportunity yourself.

Also, without a ship, you are not a Rogue Trader, so unless it's some kind of very convenient situation like this >>96463585

>>96462516
Actually this is somewhat true too, since the warp does have sympathetic points where entering and exiting is easier than elsewhere.
Though most of these points have already been mapped out in regards to specific subsectors.

So in this manner, you are better off jumping around world X and then travelling to the world Y in realspace within a subsector. Voidships have big engines for a reason.

>>96463543
If you are well-connected and powerful enough to steal a Warrant of Trade by force, you are already powerful enough to simply petition the High Lords of Terra for a Warrant of your own. That said, if you happen to acquire one that isn't in your name in a ruined space hulk or something, there's nothing stopping you from changing your name and pretending to be the last living heir of a dead dynasty or something. Nobody in the Imperium would be able to prove otherwise.

A well-traveled path that was laid down by people who wanted to make the journey easier for those who came after them.

Midna creates some minions to throw into your defenses to test them. Having reached the second realm, Ritsuka was able to enter on her own as well, so she’s off to the side watching.

>>96466324
>A well-traveled path that was laid down by people who wanted to make the journey easier for those who came after them.
Yeah, It does paint quite a contrasting picture to the outside worlds cultivators.


>Midna creates some minions to throw into your defenses to test them. Having reached the second realm, Ritsuka was able to enter on her own as well, so she’s off to the side watching.
I can see the midna thing but Im not sure if Ritsuka would be able to. She's body focused I'm not sure how she could admittedly. Though I do want to have a scene with her and venti talking about her own cultivation and its techniques and her thoughts about being immortal now. Ventis not growing alone after all. Midna and ritsuka probably have just as many thoughts and experiences on there own development.

>>96466380
>Yeah, It does paint quite a contrasting picture to the outside worlds cultivators.
It’s a big part of why Hyrule is able to grow. The Triune Scriptures may be slower to cultivate, but average cultivators in Hyrule can grow much more easily, so while Hyrule doesn’t have more geniuses they do have unusually strong average cultivators.

>I can see the midna thing but Im not sure if Ritsuka would be able to. She's body focused I'm not sure how she could admittedly.
I was thinking of the idea that when you reach the second realm you could start to affect the world with your will, so if you allowed it she might be able to just will herself in.

>Though I do want to have a scene with her and venti talking about her own cultivation and its techniques and her thoughts about being immortal now.

>I was thinking of the idea that when you reach the second realm you could start to affect the world with your will, so if you allowed it she might be able to just will herself in.
Ah fair enough. I don't want there to be that much overlap between paths. Though a little bits okay for wriggle room like that.


>Sounds fun.
Yeah, Ritsukas a genius proper. And she can grow incredibly fast but how she reacts to that growth and the changes by my thinking. Is still entirely normal if that makes sense. Perhaps even a bit less ready for it given the speed in which she reached it. I was thinking of venti actually listening and trying to help her with some of the spiritual aspects of god body eventually given he's more used to that eventually.

The idea that progressing through the second realm would mean leaving your humanity behind applies to her just as much as it will you.

>>96466621
An elite guardsman (Lucifer Black) with a power sword scored a scratch on Alpharius in Legion during a 1v1. Died shortly afterward, but it proves the principle that a normal human, properly trained and equipped, can certainly go toe to toe with Astartes if they can even wound a Primarch.
Commissar Cain has won sword duels with Chaos marines. Catachans have slaughtered Khorne berserkers in close combat ambushes. Ogryns have pulled the arms off of terminators and beaten them to death with their own limbs.

>>96466680
That's not a regular guardsman, which don't have power swords.
Though it's 100% bullshit against a Primarch 1v1, no discuss.

Regular humans do have a better chance against space marines even in duels, where they can primarily outwit them or take advantage of their insanity.
Or catch them in ambushes. That's plausible, but never guaranteed.

Ogryns tearing off terminator limbs is also bullshit though, termie suit is just too hard. Realistic option would be to tear their weapons out of their hands, like a thunder hammer, and/or use appropriately heavy thing to bash on their head, which with Ogryn strengh would be sufficient.

Anon, NTA, but what are some good sources for Epic STLs/minis? I'm particularly interested in Tyranids, Iron Warriors, or Ordo Xenos. Is there a sculptor like Forest Dragon for Warmaster that has a large offering in a similar style like that?

How are the Nu Chorfs? I used to love them, solid line, disposable fouler hobgobs, put every single egg in the Bull Centaur basket. Are the new sorcerer guys good or just worse lineman? I fucking hate the new aesthetic they have though, glad I have a 3d printed old school team

This the "simplification" of Star Player access has been the absolute worst idea they had in 2020 edition and it needs to go back to carefully curated lists of who will play for what. So what if that requires a lot of reading, casual players don't fucking use Star Players anyway.
Hakflem needs to go back to being Skaven and Underworld only. Cindy Piewhistle needs to be Halfling only. Gnomes should NOT be able to hire Halfling Star players full stop.
It needs to be fixing, and the longer it's left like this the harder the job is going to be to do.
Like, I would sooner they keep Wildly Innaccurate. Keep the defacto removal of Stat Increases from the game. Keep everyone's Passing stat being 1 less across the board in almost all cases than the previous edition.
If they fix any one thing, NOTHING would be better that going back to the properly curated Star Player access lists.

>>96465729

The new guys are fairly pointless. It's amazing how dirty they did the Sneaky Stabbas though. Overpriced, with shitty skills, no Dirty Player and no basic access to Sneaky Git. A skill LITERALLY NAMED AFTER THEM.

Incredible.

But you can still build them the old way, and it'll still work. Sure you lost Tackle on your linedwarfs, but Ironhard skin basically means they're never going to get fouled, are largely immune to chainsaws, don't need to worry about Mighty Blow or some random stadium or weather roll or a wizard with a lightning bolt.
It probably won't FEEL like it comes up all that much, but it's probably going to effect the opponents planning more than you'll realise.

It's baffling that the Knightly Order AoI is so incredibly shitty when 6E explored exactly the same concept but actually made it fun.
> Orders have a range of positive traits such as being wealthy, blessed or brave
> They also have negative traits like being humble, foreign or undisciplined
> Mix and match to make your own Order

It would be so simple to produce an updated list of these and actually make an AoI that is both fun and tactical.
Also why is the KO the only AoI not to have any unique units or traits? You could just remove the 0-1 limit on Order upgrades in the GA list and the whole AoI becomes redundant.

>>96466534
Beastmen are the result of such trysts at times

>>96466534
If it weren't for the explicit mention of "beastwomen" in the Archaon book, I'd think it was the only way Beastmen came into being. But yes, they fuck elf women, they fuck human women, they probably would fuck dwarf women if they could get their shit-soaked ammonia-scented hands on them, and this results in half-beast monstrosity offspring.

>It seems mainly to me that the questions you proposed as more robust alternatives are looking for something other than whatever this twinkie hypothetical is looking for
I mean yeah, the twinkie hypothetical isn't even related to playing games and has never been asked for a game.
Meanwhile the three questions offered actually ask the players of expectations and boundaries they wouldn't want the GM to cross.

>>96466200
I sometimes ask potential interested players a hypothetical question of what their character would do in a particular situation. Usually after we've already long discussed essentials at the table, like boundaries, rules, scheduling, etc. Like if their character see a robbery in progress, or comes across a beggar, or sees someone drop their wallet, small stuff like that. It's a pretty good icebreaker, and actually does help for me. Some of them know exactly how they want to answer and it means I can focus on making sure the rules are upheld. Some are completely new and they get stuck on whether or not they're "answering right", it tells me they may need a bit more prompting than the other players at the table.

Like, by your own admission, you've never had to vet players before, so don't knock it till you've tried it.

>>96466341
>I sometimes ask potential interested players a hypothetical question of what their character would do in a particular situation. Usually after we've already long discussed essentials at the table, like boundaries, rules, scheduling, etc.
This seems pretty useless for trying to weed out people who spaz out then, because all of those normal questions would weed out said behavior while being far more effective at establishing the type of game you're going to run and players you want.

>>96466465
It's been the opposite in my experience, actually. I've dealt with plenty of guys who happily bother by the book and the rules, especially if they get to minmax and curbstomp shit, But when it comes to making choices not contingent upon the roll of the dice, they start worrying about picking the "wrong choice" or the possibility of messing up and get so anal about it. They'll deliberately shoot at monsters that are already engaged in melee with their friends, then deflect any bad feelings directed at them with "it's your fault for getting in my way". They'll treat npcs like crap, then get angry at me for said npcs being cold to them for "being antagonistic".

Found out that same type of person doesn't take to scenarios where there's no explicit right or wrong answer, even when I tell them it's just an icebreaker and that I'm not going to punish them in the game for it. If I tell them their character comes across a beggar asking for a spare copper and ask what they do, some get pissed and say I should letting them roll for perception to make sure they know if the beggar is on the up and up. Doesn't occur to them to just outright ASK if they could do a roll, since I've played with some guys who are more comfortable leaning on their character strengths mechanically rather than play it out theater style and accommodated them with it. Just immediate anger about their lack of "player agency". Same for if they see someone drop their wallet, they'd grab the contents then immediately backtrack it while demanding to roll to determine if it's a "trap", like if the cops will swarm them for it. Specifically to avoid the "wrong" choice.

I don't have as much patience for that kind of player nowadays, so I just recommend they go to a different table if they get that neurotic about it and insist by the book because they implicitly don't trust me as a DM. Trying to do things optimally or bothering by the book is fine, it's just not how I enjoy running games nowadays.

I've dealt with many players across many games, and none of the ones who could handle a 1 on 1 talk about gaming were the type to then get filtered by a very simple hypothetical.
All the twinkie question serves to do is to make the GM seem kinda weird.

As an ex-competitive Modern fag until MH2, its because they spend 0 time fixing their competitive formats, hell its happening right now in standard

Modern keeps getting some fucking retarded Universes beyond or pushed card that just stays center stage in the format for over a year before correction. I get wanting people to use new cards and such, but it's so ridiculously strong or forced that it warps the entire meta game around the one ring or some other BS that its unfun.

In standard, there's Vivi thats turned the format into Izzet or rogue decks only. And because they don't want to ban more cards again after JUST banning 7 IN A ROTATING FORMAT, its going to stick for another 3+ months.

People just quit and play other card games because before when Wizards got careless, they had no choice but to wait. But now there's great card games you can play as an alternative, and you just don't go back because being excited for a new set every 3 weeks just isn't possible if you have a life.
