>>97394497They're still warcrime guns and have miserable accordions and full auramite, but Sagittarii and Ventarii definitely come as unusual sidegrades when the standard Custodian is just as well if not better equipped than a Praetor or Chapter Master. I'm not even entirely sure how you get around this since Custodes are all meant to be as flawless as the other despite unique gene-alchemy shenanigans, but another overlooked thing I think are the Armoury Thralls. They got fuck all for lore other than just being other guys also capable of keeping up and reloading guns mid-battle.
>>97390931Speaking of that WD article, could any anons help me find another one?I’m looking for an article which showed a couple of space marines painted/converted up as each of the heresy-era legions (with colours of the time, so DG were white with green trim and AL were indigo). I’ve searched through all the WD issues in the MEGA but couldn’t find it, so I assume it was only in a specific regional article—presumably for the Northern Europe / South Africa branch or the Australian one. Does the description ring a bell for anyone?
>>97398129this one? I saved the pic long ago, but dunno where it's from. all I know is that GW published it, not some 3rd party.

>>97397657If two pages of basic information regarding the factions that their characters belong to is too much for these guys, then I'd honestly just forgo RPGs entirely and just play Blackjack instead.
>>97397818More-so they're used to DnD's freeform character creation and I'm trying to induct them into settings that are more involved and coherent. I had tried somewhat with Eberron but Eberron is also a really fat read for character creation options. After Vampire I was hoping to do another WoD game or Planescape

>>97396497I have that too. It's especially egregious and annoying to Me because in this part of the world, humans are the most dominant species and often discriminate against "subhumans".This has led to situations where My players will help out a dwarf family in one session, then have some noble lord ask them to slaughter an innocent tiefling woman in the next, and they don't bat an eye at the contradiction. In fact, they make themselves friendly and amicable with the dwarf, but act like tieflings are secretly running the world when the nobleman makes his request. Then they spend the night in a tavern owned by a dragonborn.I've cracked down a bit on this; if they're going to play racist characters, they have to commit. If not, they have to commit to that too. I don't care if they choose one or the other, but I find the flip-flopping, hypocrisy, and double standards extremely annoying to put up with.

Hello, gamers. This is a plot structure question, I've got the storyfagging down pretty well but I do need some help from more experienced DMs how to pace this. Descriptions of "real history" are nothing more than me giving the immediate analogue for quick and easy digestion.Custom setting based on the immediate aftermath of a vast magical conflict between the Byzantine Empire and Sassanids, the collapse of the Roman Empire was due to the arrival of magic into the world which triggered a Witcher-style "convergence of the spheres" event. Very bad time. The PCs are in Antioch where the final stages of the war were fought. They are here to collect family members or artifact items lost during the war.The PCs will be assaulted at the warehouse where these grave goods are kept by an agent of what is known as the "Tyrantine Cabal," a secret organization that believes the arrival of magic into the world is Bad, Actually and they need to destroy it. The means of doing this is simple; magic is based on mental and emotional value transmuted into magical/spiritual energy, classic Chaos stuff. Therefore, the way to destroy magic is to produce such a monstrous emotional feedback to the Source that it dies from the shock. This is planned to be done through killing a son of God with a shard of God's own body.Anyway, the agent and his cronies are at the Warehouse to steal the PCs goods, because they are infused with a strong source of "Nostalgia," which is a new form of magical resonance made by the hunger for something that is lost. All of the PCs were asked to write stories about loss and yearning for a past that can never be remade.[Continued below]
>>97394536This is where I'm puttering, because I need to figure out some way for the PCs to get "hooked" into the greater metaplot and find some reason to stick together, while also being obviously "special" by outside observers which puts them into the interests of power blocs within the city. The thought I had is that the Agent used powdered honey from a "Mellified Man" (basically, a honey mummy thought to contain vast magical and restorative powers) who was made during the chaotic early years of magic coming into the world, and they breath in that powder which gets them "noticed" by the Mellified Man - this has humorous connotations for players because they could say their characters now have diabetes (or the popsicle man, you know how players love to find a good way to meme about story), but I can also see it as a sort of... The Mellified Man wants them to "get over" their loss, because while the Tyrantine Cabal has savage means, they believe the ends justify them - and, more importantly, the Mellified Man was made to help people, and -- I don't know, I'm not able to put it into concise words without rambling which is why I know it's something I need to "settle into," lock in as the kids say. The goal is to ultimately instill within them some secret knowledge or connection to the Tyrantine Cabal and the head honcho involved (who, himself, suffers from serious yearnings to a less tumultuous past.) Maybe this is just DM anxieties and I should stick with the honey powder which gives them funky visions of their lost loved ones (alongside the Jesus Figure that's trying to help them through it) but it feels like, "you sniff a strange sweet powder and now you're locked in" feels very railroady. Which isn't *bad,* mind you, because the early sessions need to be where you get players settled into their place within the world, but I'm still fighting through what could've actually happened.
>>97394536>>97394585Heh, heh! What a fool I am! An utter fool! They came to steal the ledger. THE LEDGER! Without the ledger, how is anyone supposed to know which bones go to which homes? It's a PR disaster! A horrible tragedy! And more importantly, how are the PCs supposed to find their own closure without the book? Heh! I'm a genius!
>>97390482Dude, I'm so sorry. I got so busy with Christmas that I forgot to comment. Ironic, considering the message of the story. I read everything in these threads and rarely say anything. Lurking is my vice. I just reread it.It legitimately made me choke up a little and stuck with me. Reading it again only drove it back home, I actually remember the climax really well. Messages and stories about gratitude and the soppy stuff really stick with me. This was a particularly well-done version. A belated merry Christmas. May we all keep the season with us throughout the year.If you're looking for any issues, I don't know if I can dredge anything up really. The long beginning really just drove the ending home even harder.
>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.

>>97397974I don't dislike the powers I simply think that there are so many and some so much stronger and versatile that all builds will just have a ton of superfluous powers that add nothing to the theme you are trying to create. Like the final forms, technically if you are meant to be a final boss type character you only need one or two, but you can easily get 4 or more if you want to.

When did Magic players get so delusional? The performative outrage about UB has got to be some of the most faggy outrage ive seen in this game. If you bought/played with any secret lair cards or LotR cards then you have no room to complain about the current trajectory, this is your fault. If you are anti UB because they dont "fit" Mtgs setting, but purchased/played Neon Dynasty, Thunder Junction, Duskmourn, Aetherdrift, or Edge then you have no media literacy because they are all basicly UB sets without an IP attached. Stop posting like UB is the death of magic, I remember when we thought Mythic rarity was going to be the end and now look at this bullshit. Its going to keep going on until people are done playing the game and move to something else, and theres not a single TCG right now that could take its place. >inbf I proxy so I winYou are a faggot in denial, if you play the game in anyway, you are coupable in this. Thank you for reading my TedTalk.

>>97388673I'm a pretty new player (started at ONE) and genuinely it amazes me how many of WotC's problem with the game is an inability to branch out. No books, no tabletop games (that aren't the card game obviously), no video games that aren't just playing the card game digitally (and even then those pale in comparison to the sheer amount of Yu-Gi-Oh's equivalent simulators) and basically no reason to engage with magic if you aren't already into tcgs or don't have friends that play the game. On top of that it's really freaking expensive to start playing. They have not and will not invest in their own IP, they will not ease the cost of entry, they WILL whore themselves out for funsies in the hopes that it will create player retention and frankly I don't think the numbers will reflect this long term
>>97388673>media literacy lol lmao How much did WOTC pay you to make this post? I refuse to believe the pro-UB shift on /tg/ was organic at all.
>>97396585We used to have books, you know. The stories were a lot more solid, because they came in one novel-sized installment for each set. When you bought a box, the book came with it. They found that they didn't like the cost of writing and printing books as they fell out of favor though, so they mostly switched over to articles instead. Except they wouldn't pay writers to be mainstays, and would basically commission lots of writers to write each leg of the story, resulting in massive inconsistencies in quality.There's also been some related game before the full online digital thing, but they've been extremely sparse. And also Puzzle Quest.

Opinions on archery?
>>97397538Silly, but like in a good way. Future bows firing future arrows to silently drop sentries and do all kinds of ninja shit is 10/10.
>>97397538I love guns far too much to actually make use of it but I can see the appeal. Bows are quieter than guns, are legal to own almost everywhere and have reusable ammo. However, I imagine you'll still get laughed at if you're the only merc at the function with a literal caveman weapon while everyone else has smartlinked gats that blow the wall out.
>>97395753The anime was nice advertising, but it didn't fix all the bugs and update the game. The game was undercooked. It needed another month or two worth of bug-fixing time. Also, the console versions were not really up to snuff. CDPR should have just made it a PC exclusive or only released it for consoles after they figured out how to optimize the game better. They obviously got better at optimization at some point since the thing is running on a Switch 2 now.

Did you know that in 1999 Dan Abnett did a comic that was basically a wholesale rip-off of 40k except the main character was this vampire lady that he had all the other characters constantly talk about how sexy she was.It had a feudal space Catholic empire that oppressed mutants, and even had elite warriors with implanted organs and cybernetics using weapons called bolters. Later Dan Abnett had the MC tame a bolter warrior with her vampire pussy.
>>97397403>had the MC tame a bolter warrior with her vampire pussy.Hot
>>97397785My favorite Warhammer 40k ripoff is War of the Worlds. It's very unoriginal since Warhammer did the alien war idea much earlier, as well as the idea of virus bombing aliens to death. But H.G. Wells manages to make steampunk science fiction interesting despite it not having space marines and bolters in it.
>>97398159I really liked that warhammer ripoff movie that came out a few years ago, with the twink main character? What was it called, DUNC I think? That was a decent movie but man, he should sue, such an obvious rip off.
