Post your favorite art, fanfics and talk about the story potential of the pairing here
>>98324193Thanks for the objective reply. I agree with the argument that Corsair might make the most sense.Also I forgot to list Harlequins, idk how crazy can they get with the "roles they play" so would they be a factor
>>98324208Harlequins at least if I recall the lore from their minicodex (I don't have it anymore as I lost a bunch of my 40k stuff like old dexes and books in a fucking sevage spill in the storage cellar of my appartment complex a couple of years back) kind of lose their own personality/identity as they take on the mask and essentially restart their lives as servants of the Laughing God. I don't really think that they can have normal relationships with anyone after that point, not even other eldar.
>>98324220Likely depends on the character they are playing. As the Eldar Harlequin are based on a Commedia dell'arte troupe, those with Columbine (female servant/prostitute), Harlequin (heroic male "lead" servant with a Columbine as his lover), Scaramouche (rival to Harlequin) Pantalone (rich old lech), and Innamorati (a pair of illicit lovers) might take a human lover or two as part of their performance.
>>98321719Reduce the boob size, remove the heels and it's a somewhat plausible image as Corsairs can be weird outliers sometimes and even a bit deviant/hedonistic. Remember that Corsair guy who had a place where him and his mates lived among humans, ruled and protected them before they got destroyed by Space Marines.Not sure would the human entertain her idea though, especially considering the Corsair and her crew blew up his ship and enslaved his crew lol
>>98319483Poor Farendis made it sound like his pa managed to knock up his ma by stumbling about drunk with his dick out and just kinda getting stuck in some hole because fate decided so. Not unlikely given that he's a craftworlder lmao.
What's the worst thing your party has ever done... to an elf?
>>98316431We ended with a killcount above 2 million. Torture feels a bit basic compared to vaporizing them and their entire extended family. Perhaps force feeding a captive one Thrill Joy.And I'd do it again.
>>98316431Kill one I guess, but he was a bandit or worked for the bad guy, so yeahI mean there was also a guy we robbed, but killing one can hardly be topped
>>98316431Nothing, because no act against elven kind can be seen as bad or foul.
>>98316431Fed them ALL, YES, ALL THE EGGS while tugging on their ears and whispering about how powerful modern chainsaws are and how quickly you can deforest an acre with heavy equipment, while letsdig18 videos play in the background on a thinkpad.
cockblocked an elf so hard she destroyed the world.
Anyone here have any experience with this system?>Welcome to Nibiru: A massive space station, home to millions, where stories of drama and struggle are written on a daily basis. Play as the Vagabonds; vagrant souls who wake up in the station without memories of their past. Piece back together their story as you travel through the strange vistas of a skyless world, where nature and artificiality merge into one and where memory and identity shape everything.I've been playing rpgs for like a decade now but never as a gamemaster and I want to see the other perspetive. I really like the world in Nibiru and I think I would find running this game fun from that angle at the very least. At the same time the system is very light on rules and I don't really know if that is the right fit for a new GM.
>>98323514Of course there are people with experience with this system, why don't you try asking an actual question of substance instead of this empty inanity?
>>98324253fucking kill yourself
Infinity is a 28mm tabletop skirmish game produced by Corvus Belli, and includes the related games Aristeia, Defiance, TAG Raid, REM Racers, and Acheron's Fall.

>understand Infinity (to some extent)>other ppl complain about it being complicated but I think it's fine>look at Warcrow rules>eyes glaze over cannot understand anything????
>>98321546At the beginning? No, either Karhu or Jotum will bring you comfortably to 300.All three REM-boxes are great, but don't feel pressured to prioritize any of them over Karhu, although i'm biased and have 5 of them.Personaly i like Nisse and Vargar a lot, but it's pano, pich your favourite bs13+vismod+movement skill troop and run with it. Beasthunter are great as well. The hospitaller doc is a favourite of mine as well, but that's personal experience as he just keeps rolling good.If this is your start with infinity play some 150 or 200 point games first to get used to the rules and ARO system. Abd be prepared to make many mistakes that in hindsight will make you feel dumb, we all have been there. Full 300pts worth of stuff can be overwhelming at first.
>>98321830Nerds can't into magic
>>98321546It's hard to pick a favorite Orc, because they're all so great, but this Porc? He's got style.
>>98322390Too bad he's ronery, the only one
What are some good kaiju-heavy RPGs out there? Bonus points for featuring mechas as well.

>>98313914

>>98322367Not really, but it is the one that seems to have a small possibility of being interesting.
>The Eldar hegemony lasted for 65 million years, during which basically no culture changed except at the very end, when the Craftworlders and Exodites fucked off>In the 10K years since the Horus Heresy, every space marine chapter or Chaos space marine legion involved has remained exactly the same culturally>The Imperial cult to the Emperor has also basically not changed since its creation???
>>98304484>China and other East Asian cultures didn't change much except for some minor cosmetic things for thousands of years until forced to by Western interference from the 1800s onwardThis is a huge misconception born of ignorance. There was all sorts of progress in the thousands of years that China has been a coherent civilisation, both technological and social. The same is true for various regions in the Middle East and Africa. Fuck, the Aztec Empire was barely a century old when the Spanish showed up, because it was a very recent social development in Mesoamerica.Just because you don't know history doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
>>98304365Writers having no sense of scale isn't strictly a 40k thing
>>98304365None of the loyalist 1st Founding chapters are very close to what their 30k counterparts were like before the Heresy, and most aren't close to what they were like during the 2nd Founding.The Salamanders and Iron Hands were almost completely wiped out, the Imperial Fists were literally wiped out during the Beast saga.Ultramarines went from haughty space roman nobles to book worshipping nerds
>>98316104Orkz don't change.Orkz = Order?
>>98319783>There was all sorts of progress in the thousands of years that China has been a coherent civilisation, both technological and social.Not really, the life of a Chinaman in 1800 AD was pretty much exactly the same as that of a Chinaman in 800 BC. Only difference was being rules by an oppressive emperor who was a Manchu instead of Han.
Yes, I know incubi and succubi are (mythologically) the same demon that switches between genders. But I mean in the fantasy sense - There are a lot of succubi, but I think incubi don't show up as much, and don't really 'do their thing' of seducing women.
>>98323354Wasn't Merlin's father said to be an incubus?
>>98305571What is this supposed to mean? I don’t get the connection to the thread topic.
>>98303716I can think of few stories specifically featuring incubi.Hell, K6BD take on incubus isn't too bad - seducing not so muh sexually but more Faustian, fanning on victim's selfishness and promising great power.They (and succubi) overall work better as manipulators and power behind the throne than for direct confrontation with the party.One doesn't even need to be a prettyboy, for all we know Grigori Rasputin could have been incubus playing royal family like a fiddle.>>98306088>what is the gender-neutral term for succubi and incubi?fiends
>>98317607>"someone who lays down on"/dominant "Succubus"More correctly Incubus means "Male who lies on top." The root word is "cubare" which means "to lie down." "In-" means "on top or above," "Su-" means "below or beneath" and "Con-" means "beside or with." The "-us" is masculine, "-a" is feminine and "-i" is plural and "-in-" can be used as a diminutive.If you really wanted to get into it the correct terminology would be something like:Incubus - Male demon who sexually topsIncuba - Female demon who sexually topsIncubinus - Shota demon who sexually topsIncubina - Loli demon who sexually topsIncubi - Multiple demons who sexually topSuccubus - Male demon who sexually bottomsSuccuba - Female demon who sexually bottomsSuccubinus - Shota demon who sexually bottomsSuccubina - Loli demon who sexually bottomsComment too long.

>>98324188I guess if we're following the rules for Latin conjugation the oft asked question of: What's the gender neutral term for a race of sexual demons?The answer would be Concubum, given that -um is the Latin neuter nominalizing suffix. Which is oddly appropriate, funnily enough.Also I really like this classification system and would definitely steal it, if I had something to use it for at the moment.
My PCs specifically respect authority and aspire to nobility whenever possible, specifically to piss off contrarian players.Whenever possible, I consider nobles as the highest form of life. Both because it helps move the plot along, and makes other players squirm.
>>98321413This also applies to the Christian God mind you, except where the Old Testament God was basically life in all aspects/fortune? The Christian God represents something very human indeed, Paternal Love. Sometimes harsh, sometimes coaxing, sometimes seemingly unfair in the moment, but every action comes from a place of love. The fall from Eden is the tale of being told 'You're a man now, go out and stand on your own two feet. But you'll always have a place here when you return'. Paternal Love is asymmetrical, willing to sacrifice itself, to give of itself, to try and make you better. Jesus on the Cross is Gods own bailing on work early to be at the school talent show even though he knows it'll probably be dogshit. Because the Christian God is based in something human he's far less capricious. His reactions are to the things done by people and at the end of the day everything comes from love.The other side of this though is that rather than just existing as the old gods asked of you, God expects you to be a good person and improve yourself. He wants you to be better. To be free. To make your own choices and choose to be good, rather than existing in blind, child-like submission to authority. This also feeds into why the vast majority of Christianity Seethers have terminal daddy issues and the modern Pagans are the gayest shit humanly possible. They don't want the Pagan gods, they just want gods who play the role of Christ, while rejecting Christ, who expect nothing of them and exist to adore them because at the end of the day what they're really worshipping is themselves. They don't realize that the pagan gods were more cruel and demanded more than Big G-diddy ever has or could. They just didn't demand you try to be a slightly less dogshit person.Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
>>98321413pagan deities were extremely capricious because a storm doesn't give a shit about a sailorchristianity is not capricious because jesus loves the sailor
>>98321413>your gods aren't capricious then you're just playing Christianity with the serial numbers filed off.Are you seriously Boss Babying religion right now?

>>98314624Generally bioware is incredibly expensive and unless you've been grown in a vat or groomed into, say, the Pope's Swiss Guard since before you were potty trained, you'll be kickin' rocks when it comes to trying to find anything that ain't cosmetic, choom.>>98316178Be the change you want to see. Got this in the mail recently and am converting the middle one into a Nomad dude with a background as a groundpounder from Militech.
It might be interesting to rework Ki Ken to trigger when Run is used. Aside from more clearly signalling it's intended for rushdowns (well, assuming RTal intended it for rushdowns), it'd synergize with cyberleg skates and Choy Li Fut's Shaolin Step. Two MAs at rank 6 is steep but seems worthwhile for being able to reliably pull off moving 38 meters and getting off a headshot at -2 all in one turn.
>>98310508anyone?
>>98310508>>98320818This may not be what you're looking for, but I'm reminded of the Move-By-Wire implant from Shadowrun.
>>98320818I know the thing you're talking about, but I didn't save it and I can't remember the name for it.
Do you guys think a stripped-down version of Cepheus system (Traveler) would be a good way to do a Zombie Apocalypse campaign? Fairly gritty and realistic, backstory-based skill building for a character, so you don't end up with exactly what you want, but can still steer your chargen a bit and have a cool built-in backstory. Could probably change how the damage system worked a bit to make it more location-based / wound-based. But the basic system seems like a good concept. What do you guys think?
>>98301984>Muh le gritty realismus zombie apocalypseWas shit 50 years ago, continues to be shit todayIf you must wallow in powerlessness, then just pick All Flesh Must Be Eaten.If you are just shitposting theorycraft about hypothetical game, drink bleach and die.And threadly reminder that there is no such premise that a simple d6+6 roll on 3 main stats for chargen and then 2d6 rolls on checks can't handle. ESPECIALLY for any given "muh realism" faggotry.
>>98308461Maybe a bit longer.>>98309211>And threadly reminder that there is no such premise that a simple d6+6 roll on 3 main stats for chargen and then 2d6 rolls on checks can't handleThat's pretty close to Traveller m8
>>98309211You sound like a massive shithead, but something in the vein of mausritter would actually work really well for a zombie game.
>>98310603You could probably just use Traveller skills, then. Very easy houserule.
Sell me on Cepheus (wtf does that even mean)
It's been a good long time since we had an epic thread>what's the deal with epic?wargaming in 30k/40k with smaller minis, so you can do much larger battles than is practical at 28mm. allows for including formations of aircraft, titans, and even spacecraft - stuff that is technically possible in 40k but breaks the scale and game length. small units like infantry and bikes are multi-based, while armor comes in formations instead of singly.>RULESthere's three recent limited epic games from GW, plus the older Epic Armageddon that is community maintained and remains the most popular version. There is also a smaller fan maintained version of Epic 2nd ed.>Modern GW EpicLegions Imperialis: A rough reboot of 2nd ed, with heavily simplified titan rules. focused entirely on Horus Heresy, so no xenos and no 40k units.Adeptus Titanicus: Spiritual successor to the original epic, Adeptus Titanicus (1988). focused almost entirely on piloting (imperial) titans, with some support for knight armies.Aeronautica Imperialis: reboot of the same named 00s forgeworld game, much simplified. oncerned entirely with aircraft combat and has almost no ground units.> warhammer.com/egions-imperialis-lp>start-warhammer.com/adeptus-titanicus/Comment too long.

Someone made a comp between LI Predator, Sicaran, an Epic Rhino and Land Raider.
>>98321927>>98321928there's a pile of these on the community site (weird case of GW acknowledging the existence of old editions). might be worth compiling. I remember seeing a bunch of top downs on a gridded mat (so you could tell the actual sizes,) on taccom or discord. was pretty handy. will see if I can find it back.

>>98312899Yeah the game is easy enough to teach to anyone.If you want to get even more hand-holdy, you can grab the "deep trouble" or "take the crown" boxes, they're co-op versions of the game

>>98324072PS to >>98324254There's a nicety of being a GM in that there's more players than GMs and thus an abundance of players looking for games. It's relatively easy to assemble players for a game as a GM, compared to finding a game as a player. However, the twist on that blessing is that as a GM you have to do a lot to find THE RIGHT players for your table.
