The primarchs are retarded because they are human orks, just like the rest of the space marines, because the Emperor as always doesn't have an original bone is his body and when it came time to making a species who knew only war and which was destined to conquer the galaxy in a great tide, he made the cheap knockoff of the species that knew only war and conquered the galaxy in a great tide.

Why is it that so many fantasy writers make their evil cults unjoinable by anyone with a functioning brain cell? Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide? Why would you worship Tzeentch if he’s probably gonna screw YOU over as part of his grand plan?What makes it so bizarre to me is that, firstly, it’s not like they need to be so off-putting to be evil. Orcus is a demon of undeath, his followers want to turn their enemies into the undead. Tzeentch wants the world to be in a constant cycle of chaos, his followers are gonna be masterminding world wars.Secondly, it’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples of real-world evil cults. A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satan, but are fucked-up offshoots of Christianity. Historically, goetia was practiced by people who would’ve still called themselves Christians, while committing rituals to summon and get boons from demons. Plenty of human cultures used to sacrifice humans to their gods, not to summon them to kill everyone or some shit, but to honor and/or appease them.Like to use another example from Warhammer, I think Nurgle and Khorne present more “approachable” evil cults. Nurgle is toxic positivity, and his love will take all the pain away. Khorne is wrapped up in enough language about honor to lure people in.Like to rework an evil deity, let’s pick Lamashtu. Instead of “We love ugliness and miscarriages and also you get to die in childbirth”, the cult targets vulnerable young women and lures them in with divine feminine language (“You have the power to bear and raise great beasts”), while promising the young men of monstrous races frustrated living among humans that what they’re scorned for is what makes them powerful (and also they get to have sex with pretty girls).
>>97160877Why would anybody vote for...You know about Orcus or Tzeentch's plans from some core rulebook, where they are explicitly described. But people in the RPG's universes can be not so well versed in gods and cults' plans. What if Jesus is just an avatar of Tzeentch?
>>97160877I have some videos for youhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=mwavrbXymV4https://youtube.com/watch?v=QSTA_aAMoqshttps://youtube.com/watch?v=dpF5gxuVC_Y
>>97176134The church of satan are satanists in the same way that most modern pagans are genuine believers in ancient polytheism. They aren’t. They are atheist or agnostic larpers who want to be contrarian and don’t take theology or metaphysics seriously enough to see how retarded they are.
>>97160877In Fantasy the chaos gods receive worshippers because either the people live in frozen wastelands near Chaos Gates and have little to none chances to create a civilization that doesn't rely in violence, excess, praying for the disease god to NOT notice you or backstabbing. This is the case of Norsca raiders and Beastmen. Civilized cults start usually because either they want to start a revolution (Change and violence), nobles become a little too self-indulgent or just because the local witch hunter deems your acne as a sign of chaos corruption, leading you to renounce to Sigmar. 40K on the other hand people join the chaos cults because everyone in the setting has evolved with at least three extra chromosomes
>>97168660From everything we see Jesus and Paul both believed the end of the world was coming soon.

Moloch's Fun Park Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade.

>>97194054Isnt white wolf more "Count number of successes" on x # of dice rather than "Get above an x" dropping the highest/lowest of x number of dice? I personally find that "number of successes" style to feel a good deal different.
>>97195308tbf "conquistador" style isnt just for the conquistadores. It was also largely the style of the dominant spanish tercios in the old world during the 1500s/1600s in spain's more general golden age of military dominance on the continent. Maybe focusing it on pikes that stick things in melee, shot for more offence, and a focus on the cult of Mary.On the topic of new ideas, I would love a catholic faction werewolf, maybe drawing inspiration from saint christopher, Rathmus's diologue on the possibilty to convert "dog headed men" or the Italian rural minor heterodoxy in the late middle ages who believed they turned into astral wolves at night to fight off the forces of the devil.We got the rad werewolves for hell, I would like some rad powerwolf fanatics units for the christians too.

>>97195970Could probably work just fine. Just pass along some rapports when you're done. Reminds me of how the Japanese did dnd in the past. Renting out characters and writing what happened
>>97197618>Multiple players running their own solo games within a shared sandboxI don't know how you expected anyone to get that from what you said.You would need someone to coordinate everyone's actions, keep the world up to date, and arbitrate when different players' characters met. Which is basically just a group game with everyone marking their own homework.
>>97197618interestingi would recommend maybe using an online tool like realmbuilder or whatever to have an online map with POIs and timelines and stuffand each of you can log in to update it
>>97197658Something like this does seem suited to old rpg forums or play-by-post games.

Trying to get some meat on my sci fi setting. You come in and ask a question, and I'll answer it as best as I can, or make an answer.The Nations of the galaxy have achieved a level of technology that is divine. No natural process or fundamental law is beyond man's reach. Stars are playthings, megastructures are mass produced, causality, probability, and many other things are manipulated. Neo Babylon, the capital of the Sublime Defense Federation, is hosted entirely in the first man-made dimension. Each Nation’s grasp over their respective populace is ironclad in absolute belief, each a bastion of total unity in the name of their cause. The final regimes of history will rule until the end of all.To quell its own members, the Federation both deploys its own warmachines and Painkillers, superhuman martial artists known as Tenfold Warriors that have come under the Federation's banner. Their surgical strikes keep the galaxy from tearing itself apart or the very universe from being altered by transcendent technology.The Federation, unfortunately, exists for a reason beyond its own members. For even if the Federation's Nations warred among themselves with less constant frequency, the Entity would still exist. The overwhelming tide of sapient biomass that fills the universe completely and encircles this only known bastion of space, the Milky Way. For this purpose, the Federation has created Golems; machines only Tenfold Warriors are able to pilot without dying from the extreme stresses on the body piloting one demands.
>>97185718Probably a decent amount? There's not going to be much use in making it though since you'd A, been seen doing that, and B you'd get folded by a Warrior Automaton before you even realize its coming to stop you once you try doing anything with it. Plus loyalty to their Nation is so ingrained in people the thought of doing something like that to harm their own country would be absurdThe Entity fills the universe completely. People have checked.>>97185740Yes, but its very limited in duration and availability. The Chronoclasts are the only ones to really specialize in it, and while they have gadgets that can rewind your death(provided you prime it before hand), and other similar things but they can't affect much at once. If a Nation could back in any reasonable capacity, they 100% would have gone to the beginning of the universe to completely rewrite reality.

Hey /tg/ I'm playtesting an initiative system that's been tried before in other systems and is detailed nicely on "Tabletop Curiosity Cabinet"The system uses Meyer (and Kieth Farrell's modern adaptation) of "Vor, Nach, Gleich, Indes" as steps in a fight.Basically, the player with the initiative chooses an action ("Vor"). The enemy chooses a reponse ("Nach"). The dice are rolled to determine an outcome ("Gleich") and the movement into the next state ("Indes").Practically it looks like: Player A chooses a bind. Player B chooses to parry. Both players resolve a dice roll. The resolution will determine who has initiative for the next system.Very fencing-like, and makes initiative more of a "push-pull" based on success rather than a "you-go, I-go" traditional style.I believe systems like TRoS and their derivatives (like Song of Swords) use a similar sort of initiative style.My questions for the thread:1. While this system works pretty well for individual combats, it struggles when there are multiple combatants. It also falls into the same trap of "you go, I go" which is; in a real fight, you're probably waiting for an opening (e.g. an enemy attacking an ally) to take advantage of in order to strike. I wonder if anyone has creative solutions to this problem?2. Are there initiative systems that you find work well? Anyone forego initiative entirely in favor of fully narrative initiative (e.g. Daggerheart)?
Yea, I don't see it working with multiple combatants unless you sacrifice the simplicity and at that point the standard initiative queue's just as good plus it's familiar.
>>97197145> it struggles when there are multiple combatantsYou could remedy that by forgoing individual initiative for group initiative. One group attacks, the other defends. As a team. Think basketball.>you're probably waiting for an opening I think every system under the sun implements some form of prepare action."Narrative Initiative" is trash.
>>97197145Initiative as an oscillating variable allows for some interesting mechanics.>multiple combatantsAn easy fix, just have the initiative flip be ally-based instead of locked to a single individual. If you successfully defend and gain initiative, you don't need to take it directly but can hand it off to a friendly. That would also mimic the "waiting for an opening" thing, although you'd want to make sure there's incentive to diversify the initiative-taker. Maybe a stamina system?
>>97197646>"Narrative Initiative" is trashJustify this
>>97197703No.

>>97197255You're looking at the dungeon from a too modern top-down perspective. Ants dont get paid to build anthills.
>>97197265That's just fantasy mass effect. Hey, give me my fantasy Quarians and you have yourself a fan.
Hrm. How would fa/tg/uys handle a PC that the player wants to play as a former war criminal? So according to my player his character did a lot of heinous shit during the war that ended about 10 years ago, but is now haunted by these terrible memories.The player is asking me for game mechanics to apply to this and I'm a little stumped. Some advice from you guys would be most welcome. On my own bat I figured since this is a fantasy world getting actually attacked by the ghosts of his victims would be appropriate, but I do I really want to give him the opportunity to kill them twice?
>>97196308The retarded rules of D&D. Play a better game.
>>97189959Okay, so what system? Also based player, hope he knows how to play a former (and future) war criminal.
