Presuming that he isn't taking magic to the face constantly, he should fare pretty good. Ultimately, I think he'd be forced to actually use Hokuto Shinken like the assassination technique it's supposed to be, rather than taking the sorcerer-kings in direct combat.
>>
>>97559514
As a hardcore martialfag, I always thought that Psionics were even more ridiculous of a gimmick than the whole defiler/preserver magic thing and that they are somewhat out of place for a setting such as Dark Sun. Supernatural martial arts such as Hokuto Shinken and Nanto Seiken make far more sense to me, thematically... but I'm the kind of guy that thinks only bad guys should use magic and created a campaign setting were Wizards are a despicably evil race from another dimension that only look like humans but aren't, and secretely rule everything from behind the shadows with an iron fist. So I'm very biased about this subject.

heres my character idea that i cant play because im nogame rn

the character found a genie bottle, he thought the three wish thing was a joke (his int is 5), his first wish was "i wish i was a woman" a funny joke he though, "granted" the genie said, the character freaked out and said "i wish youd go fuck yourself" (his int is 5) "granted" and the genie poofed away going somewhere to fuck himself.

now he has to travel the world adventuring and gaining power to try to track down a genie that is hidden somewhere fucking himself so he can wish for his penis back. long term goal for the character that can fit into any campaign.

the only problem with this is trannies exist and one of them is probably at your table and this will make their agp explode and they will start mastubating at the table

Not him and not the other one either, Yeah, probably. The main issue is the career path rather than the mechanics, and Into the Storm with its roles partially ameliorates this for those who don't have the 'right' advances in some small ways.

Admech rogue traders would be easier - normal Imperial politics can have a Warrant as a 'reward'. While a tech priest would be less likely to get that sort of thing there's no reason they can't do it as a quasi-excommunication, especially if he was something vaguely related to an Explorator beforehand.

A psyker is more of a problem since they're seen as barely human. He might have been an IG Sanctioned Psyker who was eventually seconded to an inquisitorial acolyte warband and, since he survived long enough, was elevated to Interrogator against his will and didn't actually want to be an Inquisitor - so he was turned into an asset in the Expanse as a Rogue Trader. First adventure becomes, say, leading a disarmed cargo vessel to Scintilla where the Interrogator, with 'local contacts', purges a manufactorum complex. On completion, he is given a surprise Warrant (and the local contacts come along because they were picked as being perfect for the job, and the ship, and some lasers for the ship) with the manufactorum serving as a foundation for the group's profit factor. Bam, the Inquisitor has a powerful contact in the Expanse and the Psyker's a Rogue Trader.

Silly question man again here - has anyone statted UR-025 in the FFG games? I would like to use him as a template for some Men of Iron/Dark Age robots.
>>
>>97562871
I was always kind of skeptical about the Imperium letting known mutants like Sanctioned Psykers or Navigators have Warrants of Trade. I'd also guess that Navigator Houses aren't allowed to own ships - otherwise they easily monopolize all aspects of Space Travel and function like the ones in Dune. Like I said, though, I don't recall any official lore that stated these restrictions. They just seem to make sense.

Regarding Techpriests, I'd bet on them having some sort of license equivalent to a Warrant of Trade. I'd probably call it by a different name (maybe "Explorator's Charter" or something like that), but mostly make it work roughly the same way and be treated as equivalent by Imperial authorities. Birthright inheritance doesn't fit the Mechanicus as well, so it might be limited to Magos it was originally granted to, or perhaps by something more like a specialized religious order than a "dynasty".
>>
>>97563114
There are positions of power for psykers in the Imperium, and with power comes respect and opportunity. The Adepti Astronomica and Astra Telepathica are staffed by psykers, conferring upon them the title of Adept, meaning that they are of the class of people in the Imperium who actually have rights. It's harder to justify why someone outside of the Adeptus Terra would be granted a Warrant of Trade than a psyker from these two departments.

When people enter a fandom from an adaptation, they always assume what they know is the truth, that the adaptation is a fully accurate representation of the material, or they think that because they like the adaptation's version more, that it takes precedence over the source, that it's "how it should be." That always leads to stupid arguments and infighting.

Only webcomic that ever grabbed me. It was on my mind this week as I never heard anything about books 4 and 5 comming out. Looks like the answer is no. Hiveworks is shutting down its printing arm so the books are on clearance now. Apparently there is a exodus of artists leaving Hiveworks as they seem to have been embezzling kickstarter money for years. 4 and 5 are the second arc which is weaker than the first but it would have been nice to have the whole thing. Also that means the spine art will be incomplete.

Writing General: 'festive' edition

Welcome to /wg/, the thread for all /tg/ related writing. Whether you're plotting your campaign, trying to come up with a character backstory, or just trying to write some setting fluff, this is the place to post it. You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.

As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here. We also have flash-fiction challenges from time to time.

There's a discord for writers here
https://discord.gg/6AwKHGF

The previous thread can still be found in the archive here

I am working on underwater setting as of late and it is surprisingly challenging. Surface-level googling gives a lot of examples where underwater issues are handwaved with magic or tech. I am not fixated on realism, but I want world to feel both believable and different from surface life.
There are a lot of things you can't do underwater that would be important for civilized society. Fire is essential for many forms of crafting, like cooking, alchemy or metalworking. Many materials are not going to last in water. Resistance to swinging motions makes mining, masonry and other such trades a lot harder. Even communications are restricted since sounds don't travel through water well. There are questions of pressure, buoyancy, darkness, cold and vast, empty three-dimensional space.
Some of these points can be partially solved with volcanos, coral farms, various shells and plates from animals… But in general I struggle with making sense of such world and kind of hope that someone here will point me in the direction of similar setting that will solve all of that for me.

I'm running a Space Fantasy campaign with some friends right now and I made a set of tables to generate generic asteroids and their resources quickly. Given that it's rather setting agnostic, I figured I may as well share it with you fags to use as well.

I ended up making this because the main premise of the campaign was exploring space on behalf of a kingdom for room to expand, gain knowledge, and wealth. I used Space Engine to make new systems and simulate travel within them and it makes a lot of asteroids and asteroid moons. I didn't want them to be just totally unexplorable, so here's my way of filling them out.

I listed some metals as separate from their ores as they occur native in that asteroid, cause fantasy people are not refining the ore from the metal but I figured they'd occur in a native form in at least some metallic asteroids.

The magic resources that aren't mithril and adamantine are pretty simple. Voidlumber is the result of a magic tree that survives the vacuum and feeds off the asteroid, it's solid wood but it (and the resin) are airtight and can be made into pressure-resistant stuff.

Starsoil is a magic uber-fertilizer, mix it into the soil and stuff grows much better. For DnD, as an example, it'd be like a semi-permanent plant growth spell was cast upon the stuff grown in it.

Aether Crystals form on solid seeds, be it dust or asteroids, that are close to lagrange points, they're good for stuff that involves gravitational manipulation, be it spelljammer helms, artificial gravity fields, or however else they travel the void of space.

The Essence of Fate is a fun one, I based it off of how some comets serve as meaningful omens that truly do herald something huge, and I figured that a fantasy peoples that can reach them can use their fate-affecting properties for their own ends, if with great difficulty.

I actually don't do dV and velocity matching in my game, both because I use spelljammers which are quite fast (even at a 7th the speed of 1 AU a week instead of day). But also because the setting I run this in is primitive enough they won't notice random asteroids on normal exploration, save for those captured as moons of larger rocky bodies.
Space engine gives me plenty of those, so I don't really worry about them being deprived of resources or something.

For something you'd do where intercept matters, I'd have fun with it, putting the magic stuff in a really annoying orbit because it's an extrasolar capture or something is always a nice touch.
>>
>>97558253
What system would you run this in, out of curiosity. It sounds like a good bit of fun and I'm in a bit of a forever GM position right now.

The Essence of Fate one is pretty clever. Does it let you re-roll or some other dice-manipulating mechanic if you get enough of it?
>>
>>97562203
I imagine as such, obviously it cannot be deployed too often but I also think forcing an event to occur in a particular manner (not just in a dice roll, more fluffy stuff) could be an expensive use of it.
>>
>>97561717
I'm stuck making my own games, because everything I've read requires me to change or add a bunch of things, and none of my friends like tabletop games that aren't casual like UNO or Cards Against Humanity.

What are the gods and goddesses like in your settings, and what advice do you have for designing deities for one's own original settings? And what about other settings who you feel do a great job with their gods? I want to make my first original pantheon instead of just sticking with picrel or copying an existing one like the Olympians, and I have no clue where to begin.

N/A, I just think it up while I'm bored at work and I haven't found an RPG system that I would deem satisfactory at portraying the setting as-is, but that's probably because I tend to think of things more in terms of vidya than tabletop. Like porting TF2 to the latter, it'd be far from impossible, but also requires more experience to do so than I have. I'll figure it out someday when I have time.

As I get older, I want it simpler and faster. But I was brought up with classic World of Darkness. Attack roll -> Defense roll -> Damage roll -> Soak roll, and I do still appreciate that approach.
