    WH40K rpg book on Previews

    Like WHFRP, I think. My source is the free intro adventure (it has some rules stuff) on the black industries (or whoever publishes the RPG) website. The adventure has one of the gulliest pre-made PC groups, in a good way :cool:

    WH40K rpg book on Previews

    It's a big ass book, FWIW. Amazon price is 20 euros. That's dirt cheap, even with shipping to europe.

    Game Night, by Jonny Nexus. You need to read it:)

    That was damn funny! I wish I'd noticed this before - now I won't get it in time for christmas. But I am so getting this.

    WHY are elves so danged cool?

    1. Elves are mammals. 2. Elves fight ALL the time. 3. The purpose of the elf is to flip out and kill people.

    My, how the adventures have changed...

    The game is about heroic fantasy, but yeah, there's nothing stopping players from pissing away characters. That's hardly a function of the system, though. I just pointed it out because WFRPs lethality is vastly exaggerated on the net, and seems to get worse with each telling. Don't get me...

    Was it Baldurs Gate II?

    Tell Me Your Best DM Dirty Tricks...

    Rolling die for no purpose, maybe asking "Sooo .. what was your will save again?" Asking for confirmations on innocent actions "I pick up the gem" "Soo .. you're touching the gem?" .. then watch the player squirm trying to come up with an explanation how he picked up the gem without touching...

    curing the sadistic game master?

    "Yes, I am, in fact, a sadistic DM. No, it's not a problem since I'm plenty sadistic." :confused:

    a) Impossible - fate points b) Not likely - Goblin vs. a troll slayer, one hit?

    GURPS The group, a one-armed hunchbacked albino dwarf who's also a master of the broadsword, .... :p

    My, how the adventures have changed...

    I've found 3E much more lethal than the previous editions. I mean, 30+ PC deaths in RttToEE. While that adventure is particaularly deadly, I've had little problem racking up the bodycount in 3E. 1E and BD&D were different - much less PC deaths. Yes, there was the occassional poison death, but...

    The apocalypse on 2012?

    Your predictions are spot on! Could you clue me in on the norwegian lottery numbers for next week? PM please..

    My, how the adventures have changed...

    In my 1E group poor Finnaeus would've been killed on the account of his NPCisness. CR - treasure combo usually evens out across a greater range of encounters. So the pre-made adventures can have longer dry-runs with little or no adventure, while a greater cache is found at some point...

    The apocalypse on 2012?

    Yes they do. But some species require less and some more; there's an inverse size correlation, IIRC, but it's not set in stone. So why have some species evolved to require certain amount on average, and others a different amount? Why are there dreams? Some amount is surely just an upkeep cost...

    The apocalypse on 2012?

    Um yeah, sure. .. I have a vision coming in right now: Hmmmmm .. I see that tomorrow morning I'll ....hmmmm..... wake up around ....hmmmmmm.... 8 o'clock, shower, get dressed, eat and go to work. I'll get back to you tomorrow how it worked out :\

    The apocalypse on 2012?

    But think about it: why would humans have developed the necessity of sleep and the accompanying thought processes, unless there was some evolutionary advantage to it? Most people (or the scientists that study sleep) don't know why or how it works. There's quite a big disadvantage in having to...

    The apocalypse on 2012?

    Wonder where humanitys want for there to be something beyond our observations comes from. If you get right down into it the things we can observe are wondrous enough to fill at least one lifetime. But no, it's gotta be aliens, the end of the world, stuff like that..

    The apocalypse on 2012?

    Do you think they'll be pissed off since Mayans have fallen pretty hard? Or that we now know much more about astronomy than Mayans ever did even with the aliens help? Crazy stuff is usually ignored, well, because its crazy.

    The apocalypse on 2012?

    Got damn I completely missed that :confused: That would've been so cool. King of Terror. What is with these weak 20th-21st century monarchs? A real King is the King of Terror and comes from the SKY! BTW, on this hunchback of notre dame, he made about 6500 predictions. Surely some of those...
