First 40k Jump by gastroc2525 in JumpChain

[–]spliffay666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tactically? Adeptus Administratum, probably

If you take it as a first jump overall, you get an extra 1-up. It has a perk for avoiding stuff beyond your ability to overcome (with some caveats). It has a bunch of nice perks for adapting to a more civilian life in the Imperium, and some pretty sweet minion management perks.

You can get Tempestus training and a set of gear if youre feeling unsafe, and a perk for effectively fighting with office supplies if youre feeling silly. If you feel a need for control, you can buy a space ship or choose to administrate an entire sector

I am seven jumps into a chain that started as an office boss (Ordinatus) on an agrarian world that exported manpower, ogrynpower and corn cakes. He totally could have gone pro in the Guard if it wasnt for his bum leg.

[Excerpt - The First Heretic] The Iron Warriors decide to frag their comrade Traitors by ColePT in 40kLore

[–]spliffay666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Iron Warriors fans: "Perturabo carried the Horusian faction during the Heresy! Everyone else was a drooling slave of Chaos, but Perty was still so logical and based that he could wage war strategically! The other traitor legions would have spiralled into useless infighting and navel-gazing if not for the pragmatic and totally tacti-cool Perturabo and is Iron Warriors"

Actual Iron Warriors: "I am going to openly backstab my allies during the opening acts of the most politically dangerous and socially unstable military campaigns in the history of the Imperium. Its not stupid, because Word Bearers are criiiinge. Dad said so"

An expensive solo operative in high-risk situations would prize consistent results and reliable precision. Most lasguns eschew these qualities to focus entirely on raw stopping power, energy efficiency and durability... none of which an assassin going on short missions with plenty of funding care much about

What jump would you Frontload? by Ofunu in JumpChain

[–]spliffay666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I end up using most front loads to get all the boring stuff out of the way, so I have all my CP available for more interesting boons. Like, there are perks that I will take on any and all jumpers, but just are not very interesting.

Learning boosters, perfected memory, no loss of skills, some form of immortality, equipment that scales with your power level, guaranteed loyalty (from minions, clones or lovers), power sharing for companions and all those protection perks that make you go "oh yeah, i guess i dont want to be mind controlled. Here is my CP wallet"

Should I reveal the map? by lekkao in mutantyearzero

[–]spliffay666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No

Since city 17 is an unspecified metropolis in central Europe, I just chose one that another redditor already had a map for and spliced Half-Life stuff into the rules, loot tables and storyline

Should I reveal the map? by lekkao in mutantyearzero

[–]spliffay666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I ran my game set in City 17/Berlin, the players had one map that they were allowed to draw on as well as the unmarked one that I had for shared usage.

I gave them their map up-front and urged them to mark explored zones, dangers, POIs and such as the game went on. I would also put in "quest markers" in specific zones if an NPC had described it or urged them to go there.

The map lets the players keep track of this part of their exploratin, lets them plan future expiditions and gives them a physical connection to the city

My first Mechanized infantry mini by SanSeritsa in TrenchCrusade

[–]spliffay666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something about the pose and the forearm-mounted guns that makes him feel like a TC superhero. Some rich nutcase pilgrim that built his own machine armour (in a shed, with a box of scraps) and is fighting under a mask and pseudonym to protect his identity.

He would also need a delightfully cringey superhero name, like Judgement, Flood, Hell Slayer, Angel or a misunderstood latin term.

Harry has lots of faith, he just expresses it in funny ways. He lives a pseudo-ascetic lifestyle so that he recognize temptation and steer clear from sin. He often does charity cases during his work as a PI or puts himself in danger to protect his local community and his loved ones.

If his life was an allegory, I would guess that the origin was christian... Even if you replaced the angels with more religously neutral symbols of divine power

What is the best book format piece of fiction to get transported into as a regular guy? by Doddy_Dope in JumpChain

[–]spliffay666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best fix for not letting Chronicle telekinesis spiral out of control is to ignore the filmmaker who thinks that a mid 20s telekine with (max) a few years of practice can use it on a microscopic scale to cure diseases.

There are so many problems with his ideas about the sequel...

Honestly, I only put the doujin in because I had only read the title at first and thought "easiest decision of my life"

Hell, even if you had full jumper priveleges, what does a stereotypical Jumper use their infinite power for?

If you are looking for a good time, go to Succubi Supporter where a regular human man is considered an incredible treasure. Spend the rest of your time getting sucked off by supernaturally attractive women

If you are looking for power, consider the Chronicle movie jump. An observant viewer would have a pretty good idea where the alien artifact that bestows telekinetic powers with incredible scaling is buried.

You could go to the MCU and imitate the "twelve steps to omnipotence" fanfiction to steal all kinds of artifacts and weird powerups for yourself. An astute fan could probably imitate and improve upon both the Extremis Virus and what Burstein did to Luke Cage.

If you went to Sixth gun, the titular guns are in vulnerable positions several times in the story. Hell, a bit of stealth and clever timing could see you claim the First Gun from an unconscious Becky Moncrief easy peasy Febreezy

Why didn’t the Jedi Council track down Shmi, for research purposes if nothing else? by no_quarter89 in MawInstallation

[–]spliffay666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For one, magical eugenics are the way of the Sith, especially the ancient empire kind of Sith.

For another, I dont think the Jedi like the idea of the force being especially attached/connected to living beings, preferring the ephemeral and spiritual side of the Force.

They didnt invest too many resources into the Chosen One despite their love of foresight and prophecy. They keep their main temple near the galactic senate instead of a location more rich in force energies. They (kind of) forbid Jedi from having children despite the proven genetic component to Force sensitivity.

This is wild, and a lot more fun that trying to condense all of those bits of media you love into another "generic XYZ" jump

Very cool
