Night10194 posted:Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2e: The Thousand Thrones Okay I'm with you so far. Night10194 posted:Meanwhile, the magic boy was born to Stromfel Worshippers (crazy evil shark god distortion of Maanan) in Marienburg. They got crushed by Witch Hunters, who didn't kill the child and gave young Karl to the Shallyans. One of the Shallyans realized he had weird mind control powers (which he doesn't know he has) and tried to kill him. The others stopped her because A: Shallyans and B: Mind control powers. Then another evil cult decided to use the boy as a false Sigmar and a not-Valten. They branded his chest with the twin tailed comet after kidnapping him from the Shallyans, but he got away, and grabbed a blacksmith's hammer to defend himself. A little kid with a comet birthmark and his mind control powers going full speed standing against two heavily mutated Nurglites with a hammer drove a bunch of Marienburgers into a frenzy, where they saved him and proclaimed him Sigmar Reborn. Being a lonely nine year old kid who'd just had a traumatic experience, he decided this was fine and is going along with it for now. Is this supposed to be one self-contained adventure? It seems like you're describing an epic campaign. Night10194 posted:Into this, the PCs stumble their way, to get railroaded along with the Crusade of the Child and forced into a nonsense storm of body doubles, women getting mutated into hideous beasts, hellwombs, temptresses, shitloads of vampires (if you have a VAMPIRE RANDOM ENCOUNTER subset in your module, you are DOING VAMPIRES WRONG), lots of unrelated plotting, a stolen chicken, paper thin characters, poor pay, at least one child they have to murder, and an utterly miserable time. I'm gonna need a smilie of a GM drowning in poo poo.

All aboard the train to bulshiton, where everyone is a dick to you for no good reason. Including the laws of probability. I've been to several game groups who if this was the game could not possibly go through the first session before razing the town and maybe giving Chaos a try.

Yeah I've noticed that just about every single writer (in fantasy and 40k) has no idea what to do with nurgle. Papa Nurgle is all about how despair and neglect breed terrifying things, not so much about self education in the dark arts.

It would have been so simple to flesh out the nurglite cult and by that provide an in for some good spying opportunities. Heck, I bet every group of mercenary murderhobos would be thrilled to save some dudes from getting too deep before burning the clubhouse down.

What sort of brain damage makes write this gatekeeping dreck rather than just put down a character point allotment for Average, Heroic and Supernatural characters? It would take less time than coming up with inconsistent arguments against fun and the customers will do it anyway.

As the current pandemic illustrates there's absolutely no need for a 100% deadly and quick acting disease just to make things grimmer. Neglish Rot probably works best as something that most healers will never encounter in their career.

remember that as far as Papa Nurgle is concerned this is just about his most thoughtful and well crafted present ever, if the GM just spreads it around the campaign that greatly cheapens the gift. So keep it for special occasions and special people.

I figure that much like the Dwarves there's never a better friend nor a worse enemy, Dwarves are loyal and hold grudges and Hobbits party hard and will never regret feeding you to an Ogre if you cross them.

If your multiple plotlines colliding in one place adventure is indistinguishable for the players from a night of randomly rolled events then you're doing writing wrong. And GM fiat failure gets old the moment it materialises, if you find that you added one then you should reconsider if you wouldn't prefer traditional prose over collaborative storytelling.

The free rpg Nemesis that came after UA did away with the Isolation meter and the remaining four map out well to the cardinal gods of Chaos, which brings me to an idea: after a character gets some hardened notches find a time to offer them an extra fate point in exchange for turning one hardened notch into a corrupted one which is not removable by whatever passes for psychotherapy in game- A better corruption system that the players choose to succumb to.I That way you can fix two subsystems for one!

Cythereal posted:My take on this is that all Bret 'full plate' genuinely is imported from the Empire or dwarves, they're just Brets so like hell they're going to admit it. And/or the merchants selling it to the nobles claim it's totally made right here in Bretonnia and the nobles don't question it. Brets probably can't even supply people with munitions armour, there must be an enormous armour gap between the poorest knights and the richest.

That chaos plot (Doomed Kindred) seems overwrought by a bit as the supremacist forest elves would be extremely vulnerable to Slaanesh's path to self perfection, and the loving forest spirits would take absolutely no notice about a cult of growing cruelty to humans.

It's a good job that the party is varied, a group of squires and errant knights as naive as Gilbert would be completely unprepared for just how little honour means in the swamped hellhole.

Night10194 posted:Was the travelogue necessary? This time, I'd say yes, it was. The point of all this is that Karak Azgal is loving far away from wherever your heroes are likely operating. Unless you start session one with arriving, if you do as they suggest and play out the journey, it's a long, long way. Sure, it'd be faster if they didn't start in southern Lyonesse, but dang, even if you just start from Altdorf it's a long trip. You're likely to have as many adventures as they did just getting to the adventure. Which could be fun!  never apologise, the best part of waking up is reading some silly fun.

I agree, now is the time to come up with strange new worlds and cultures that would not make sense in the Old World. Maybe even outsider races completely alien to the core worlds(or whatever the term is).

A regiment formed to clean up in the wake of Nurgle. I'm thinking combat medics strapped up with heavy flamers and DEEP distrust of any offer of hugs. and I just wrote this while completely forgetting the state of the real world and COVID19 so it's best if you try to as well.

How would modifying the game to exchange the one comrade for a fireteam work? Since in setting the individual guardsman isn't worth much it stands to reason that commanding officers would plan things around teams, and it makes more sense for 4 soldiers to control a vehicle or a crew served weapon. and in addition to having 3 extra lives, it would also work better for the players to move separately around the battlefield instead of everyone getting pinned at the same place.
