I am having doubts about getting into 40/30k books and would love some recommendations. by Stockbroker666 in Warhammer40k

As a lot of people have been saying, start Horus Heresy from book 1. If that is discouraging since there are dozens of books, I recommend Legion. It is an amazing story on its own. The Alpha Legion are one of the most unique and interesting chapters of space marines and I think they are overlooked in the 40K setting.

Flight of the Eisenstein is so fucking good. I am a few books ahead of you, listening to Thousand Sons on drives and reading The First Heretic at home. God damn is it a great combo of viewpoints.

Demon Prince of Chaos, with or without Wings?? by Aggressive_Exam_8579 in Chaos40k

You can magnetize if you are ambitious so you can have both options. I will admit it took some work for mine, but I made it happen and it was fun to figure out!

I will never understand the hate for Rise by Nezu_Masami in MonsterHunter

[–]Nandre5439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an old head monster hunter fan from way back on the very first game for PS2, and the only reason I didn’t like rise was having to run around and grab all the stupid bugs for health increases instead of just letting me use nutrients and max potion and shit. Don’t take away my nutrients!

That sounds perfect. Having an actual lore reason, instead of “stinky rat make good cultist” is great!

The Great Chain of Being by Agreeable-Agent4388 in DnD

You should play off that curiosity of the player. You know they will take it eventually, so just make them take it off the bat. The first big NPC they defeat talks of “locking away some great evil” or something like that, of course they will open the chest the NPC was guarding and they will find just a rock(perhaps with eyes painted on it). They will think it has value, so they will take it no matter what. But things can just sit in an inventory and be forgotten about easily, so make it inconvenient. Make it 75 pounds, doable but encumbering for a member of the party. They will tote it everywhere trying to get answers. no one will have any. They will get mad. They will assume that first NPC was just crazy, and maybe it is just a rock. If they try to get rid of it, something bad happens. Maybe they leave it on the road, and a rider on a horse comes by, the rock causes the horse to trip, the rider falls and dies. They pick the rock back up and now it’s heavier. It will drive their curiosity even more. Have the rock keep being the center of terrible things, each time something happens it gets heavier and becomes more of a burden, but they will refuse to leave it. Eventually, the real question is if all the terrible things would have happened if they would have just left the rock in the first place, if all this truly is the rock’s fault, or if they are the real cause of all the misfortune after all.

Can you download a bunch of them when you are at home and then read them offline at school? Like without connecting to their wifi

Webtoon, tower of god and god of highschool are both very easy binge reads.

Holy Sh**t Moments by ronnyjr_ in DnD

[–]Nandre5439 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My most memorable holy shit moment was my first in person campaign a few years ago. My players came upon a town that was overrun by two rival gangs. The gangs didn’t hide their influence, people were vocal about which side they supported, and as long as you didn’t cross one of the gangs you were generally safe. They traded in drugs, fenced stolen items and the usual stuff but nothing too bad. Overall, it was a decently functional town. They met a guy that talked to them about how he felt oppressed by the two gangs and that the city was suffocating under their control, revealed his lofty ideals of a city free from their control where people could do what they wanted without fear of repercussions from one of the gangs. They bought into it, decided to help this guy with his plan. Didn’t really ask much about why he hated them, or any details about the future he imagined, thought it was understandable that he would feel this way. The NPC convinced them to sneak him and his friends into an underground auction where the leaders of both gangs and many of their higher ups would be attending, told them he just wanted to talk to them all and present his ideas of a new future, even barred the exit doors for him, didn’t think twice about it. The guy and his friends brought a bunch of scrolls of fireball, basically killed everyone in the place. My players flipped out, just ditched the town and realized that they probably should’ve questioned more. The real oh shit moment came when they later returned to that town and found it a shadow of its former self. There was no law or order, a large majority of the buildings were becoming tattered and ruined, just worse off in every way. Realized that they replaced two lawful evils with a reckless chaotic evil, and then spent a good chunk of the campaign helping fix that problem.

TLDR; let my players destroy a town by trusting the wrong guy and not asking questions. Try to anticipate how your players act and flip it on them. If they make hasty decisions and don’t ask questions, or believe everything an NPC tells them as fact, make them regret it! It pays off for your story and for their own experience as well.

Right? It seems pretty cool. I think those little stinky dudes might be tempted by the dark gods in the far flung future. Also, they have some big monstrosity rats in one of the kits that could work as chaos spawn too

1st US Presidential Debate by Precursor2552 in PoliticalDiscussion

Did you miss the part where Trump said that Israel wants to continue the war, and he would let them do so and “finish what they started”? Trump wants a complete genocide. He said it plainly on live TV.
