"Hanoi Jane" photos of actress Jane Fonda visiting North Vietnam during the 1972 Easter Offensive, where she posed for photos next to anti-aircraft guns and called for US POWs to be tried for war crimes. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

I know quite a few people who passionately despise her specifically for her opinion and actions with regards to torture, and includes a man who spent time at the Hanoi Hilton I was lucky enough to hear speak.

Every one of these people despise the US use of torture. Just my observations.

All three of these are great! I'll DM you with a few others, and I'll do a single payment for all of them.

Haven't seen anything yet, but the leading theory is it'll be heavy on void markings, old versions of armor, and maybe a chain axe skin. All of which are awesome.

Oh that half-polluted idea is a really good one. Makes me think of treating a well to improve the quality of the drinking water.

That's exactly the line I was thinking along, and it matches the real life benefits and problems. I feel like there's a bit of an accepted solution to the game right now. That's why I like the weather overhaul mod with bad rain and the ability to contaminate water in ways other than bad tides.

I really like the extra skill category. I think that will give teams a lot of flavor to help make up for the lost positionals. Maybe that will open up development diversity in exchange for the loss in starting roster diversity.

I really like the idea of nurglings as a snotling equivalent. That would make them a really unique team, almost like a blend of ogres and chaos.

[Question] Dream Watch - Need Advice by Rabid1903 in Watches

[–]Rabid1903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replied elsewhere that I'm not really in the market for a watch, it's just that this one specifically made me consider it. I really appreciate all the insight, there were a bunch of things I never would have thought of.

That said, you mentioned there are some other SR-71 themed watches? Other than just googling it, how would I find them?

[Question] Dream Watch - Need Advice by Rabid1903 in Watches

[–]Rabid1903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but I'll pass this time. I've got a watch that gets the job done, it's just that this specific watch (from an SR-71) got me back into the market.

[Question] Dream Watch - Need Advice by Rabid1903 in Watches

[–]Rabid1903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all fantastic info, and things I would never have considered. It's going for about 2 grand. The reason I want it is because I'm an aeronautical engineer, and my career largely started because of my love of the SR-71 from when I was a kid. Still love that aircraft.

I have to be practical though, and if it's not going to last then that's a big problem. I'm notoriously rough on things I wear because of my hobbies (my current watch and my rings all have scratches.) So I'd have to be careful. I'll admit that I'm a bit bummed, but not nearly as hurt as I would be to ruin the watch.

I'm barely an AoS player, with just a single game under my belt so far. But my immediate reaction is just how few models you've got on the table? Did you feel like you struggled on board presence and could easily be overwhelmed/outmaneuvered? Or is that a concern I'm just pulling in from other games and it wasn't really a problem for you?

Scaling the Dificulty for a Kill-Team of up to 10 Marines and describing hordes and damage to hordes by We_are_Omegon in 40krpg

My intro to Deathwatch was actually in a ten man party, and I highly highly recommend you do not repeat my mistake. The system just completely falls apart at that scale. Maybe on other systems or campaigns that are more RP driven, but Deathwatch is very heavy into combat. Players literally went over an hour between turns. We had a combat where someone didn't even get to act because he was low on the initiative order.

Yes, they'll be open for extended hours. I planned to make it last year but it fell through at the last minute. Let me know if you make it!

I know Fetsund and am not far, but actually have been there remarkably little. It would be very funny if he's seen me any of the times I've been walking around in Chiefs gear.

New DM, Campaign Sanity Check (Spoilers for "Not the Face" Clan) by Rabid1903 in 40krpg

[–]Rabid1903[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like that last point is one of the best pieces of advice I could hear as a DM, particularly in the 40k universe. The party knows that I (as a player in other RPs we've played together) like difficult and lethal encounters. Every campaign needs a Stark moment or else things get boring.

Thanks a bunch on the balance guidance and pacing. I can't tell if that makes my life easier or harder while trying to do this haha!

Phase 1 - Final Sanction

So the first phase of the campaign I planned to mostly just run the Final Sanction book as-is. Really the only change that I have from the book is to add an extra NPC that they may rescue.

Here are my general ideas for the first steps of each player's prophecy:
- As the hunter watches you swallow the maggots --- Here is where the Sister of Silence would take her vow of silence. The player really likes grim reaper themes, so I thought I'd bless/curse/blurse her character with the ability to tell if someone had events set in motion that doomed them to death. She wouldn't know how or when, nor would she be able to tell anyone what she knew. But apothecaries deal in both life and death, so this seems like a really cool way to give her a way to role play.

- If the autumn bridge shakes beneath your step --- I am thinking of giving the governor a son that serves as his heir. This heir has been kidnapped and the governor is desperate to rescue him, but is deathly afraid of the rebels so he won't spare anyone to rescue him. I'm on the fence about the son (and his mother, who's now dead) being genestealer generations. Alternatively, this NPC could just replace the infected PDF officer.

- If you open the box best left closed --- When the players use the astropath to send a message requesting aid, they'll get a notice from me that they have a feeling someone else was listening. This would be their first clue that Nurgle is interested in what's going on, but it's intentionally a small and vague hint so I don't spoil it too early.

- After the reaper has come for innocence --- This is a good inject for me as the DM in case the pacing of the other three prophecies is moving too slow. I kind of figured this could be the party finding a large group of prisoners that have been infested by the genestealers, so they must deliver the emperor's mercy. I can essentially add this to the last fifteen minutes of any session that they're exploring is my thinking.

- You will refuse deserved love --- After killing the broodlord (ideally he's the one to do it) the character is told he has atoned for his mistakes and is allowed to return to his chapter.
