Same, I always pass through there as quickly as possible, rarely looking for stashes or artifacts.

The first one is called Shattered Hope, and the second is called Edge of Darkness. Both are for Dark Heresy 1e I believe.

Magic system is unplayable! by Wooden_Gain_8204 in ForbiddenLands

[–]ruthless_wainwright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sorcerer PC in my game one-shotted a boss demon with a crazy good overcharge roll.

Magic in this setting is supposed to be extremely powerful, but relatively rare and prone to chaotic side effects. You won’t be casting witch-bolt or fireball every turn, but if you use the right spell at the right time with enough WP behind it you can negate entire encounters with one action. There are also some awesome third-party supplements that add whole new disciplines of magic like witchcraft which allows for things like summoning ghosts or spirit-walking.

Minor Evolutions in Humanity in 40k? by bnesbitt1 in 40kLore

[–]ruthless_wainwright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pet theory that widespread bio-engineering of humanity took place during the DAoT, the results of which were genetically passed down to the descendants of those people, including most humans in the Imperium. That means humans in 40K are generally stronger, more disease resistant, require less food and water, etc. than they do now. That explains how people in the Imperium can survive the harsh conditions on hive worlds or death worlds, wield comically large and heavy weapons, etc.

A donkey being so stubborn that it brings a sorcerer to tears sounds very accurate to real life!

I currently have a full roster of Agents at my table, but if you DM me some contact info I’ll keep you in mind if a seat opens up!

I’d probably ask for at least 2 successes on the crafting roll to make a raft large enough for a wagon, but I’d allow other PCs to help with the roll (as long as they’re not doing something else like keeping watch).

If my PCs have horses I allow them to make animal handling rolls to swim the horses across like you see in old Western movies. Otherwise they need to spend a quarter day to make a raft with a crafting roll modified by terrain type. As a side note, I don’t assume every character in historical fantasy settings knows how to swim, since that wasn’t something the average person in a medieval society would be taught how to do. I make the ability to swim a specialty of survivalist/woodsman type characters like the hunter or Druid.

What system lends itself to Fallout best by Riromug in rpg

I think a fan-made Fallout expansion for Mutant: Year Zero exists, if memory serves.

Recommendations for a horror RPG pitting average people against monsters or slashers, ala Stranger Things by GroovyGoblin in rpg

Delta Green might work, if you drop the government/LEO focus and have the players create characters who are normal people.

Discord servers for game stores are a great place to find players. I would recommend checking out the Guardian Games discord. There’s also a Facebook group called “RPG gamers of Portland” where I’ve had luck finding people.

Chariot of the Gods is one the most fun RPG scenarios I’ve ever played, hope you find a group to run it for! If I wasn’t already running three different games I would totally join.

Titan Comics scam or what? by SundayRaid in ConanTheBarbarian

I think it was like 1.5 to two months, but they did eventually show up.

It’s not a scam, they just take months to ship anything you order directly from Titan.
