So what are your thoughts on Obsidian entering a long-term licensing partnership with Paizo? At the moment it's just a card game, but they're probably planning a Pathfinder crpg somewhere down the line.

So This Guy in my group wants to play one of the Warhammer Pen and Papers. I've never been huge into the Warhammer lore beyond the Dawn of War games so I'm not really sure what to expect. I've been given a choice between Rogue Trader, Only War, Death Watch Black Crusade, and Dark Heresy. Again, I don't have much experience other than Only War about being guys with flashlights and T-Shirts and Rogue Trader being pirates in spess. So, recommendation on which one to play? What should I expect? Pros and Cons? Is there anything I should know other than grimdark in order to get the full experience.

>>33955486 After receiving word that it had been sighted on this planet, he managed to get himself assigned to the team that headed out before the current one, and besides the Marine Captain who called for Deathwatch assistance in the first place is the only remaining member of that team. He has been keeping the city alive for the past five years with constant hit and run attacks on enemy commanders, all the while looking for the Enslaver that has eluded him for so long.
Dark Angels Apothecary - Born of noble blood and wealth, he never truly respected the elders of his family line. Well versed in the manner of xenos cultures due to his ties to his family's Writ of Trade, he was no stranger to dealing with different races, but the Tau in particular. Constantly acting against their wishes, he did not match the normal profile of a noble. He was approached by a Dark Angel recruiter because he did not appear nobility, and there was a quota to meet. Upon being informed of his error after a brief facial recognition scan, he allowed the youth to contact his father, who promptly declared that no son of HIS was going to indulge in some damn fool mission to get himself killed. He joined the chapter freely not soon after, and elected to learn a trade that would infuriate his family even more: medicine, and worse, intended to give it away FREELY. He was selected for the Deathwatch due to his previous experience and medical expertise, and has proven incredibly competent and gregarious, though through spite or motivation noone is sure. He is acutely aware of the advantages his station grants, and due to working with what his family would call 'the dredges of humanity' has begun to have doubts about his family's traditional methods.

Iron Hands Techmarine - Also brought up within the chapter his whole life, he developed a fascination with technology at a young age. He began training alongside the Mechanicus in addition to undergoing the traditional treatments. Upon surviving, he completed the training on a Forge World where the primary export was starships. Fascinated by these ancient machines, he began to study the art of Void Combat pathologically, and uploaded as many operating and maintenance manuals as he could to his internal cogitators. His own experiences having proved incredibly useful, he now has begun to realize the benefit of teaching what he has learned to better be able to fulfill his duties, though many local Mechanicus are not happy with that development.
So that's my party. They've all got a cool backstory and motivation, and everyone is having fun exploring the mentality of the Astartes. Sitting your players down and asking them 'who are you' is only have the battle, 'why did those things happen' and 'why did you react the way you did' help flesh out the whole thing. Hope that helps with getting into the setting mindset and helping establish unique characters in Deathwatch.

Though perhaps not the most advertised thing on the internet, here is the final draft of the Eldar Character Guide. The guide includes : Two playable career paths, The Path of the Outcast, a career that allows players to become Corsairs and Aspect Warriors, and The Path of the Seer, which allows players to become Farseers, Void Dreamers, and Warlocks. A compendium of Eldar Lore and their presence in the Koronus Expanse, including Craftworlds, Corsair Fleets, Pirate Fleets, and more. A full Eldar Armory is included, with weapons, armor, grenades, gear, with relevant statistics compiled on one easy reference page. A full Eldar Starship section, including the creation and equipping of Eldar Starships and rules pertaining to the equipment they utilize. Three Alternate Ranks, the Bonesinger, Corsair Prince, and Harlequin, and lore pertaining to all three. Hopefully this is a guide that everyone can enjoy, so here it is, for all to see. If there's any feedback that you all want to give or ideas on things to add to it, let me know.

What's /tg/'s take on sculpting minis from scratch? I've got a little bit of sculpting experience, but I've never really done anything in this scale before. Do you guys have any pointers or advice?
Anonymous
>>34059585 well, first, this isn't really the best place to ask. most of these sculptors have blogs and such...
chaudon's blog (guy who did that dragon, LOTS of links on the right sidebar if you scroll down. use chrome to translate french sites:
robertochaudonblog dot blogspot
MIKH (among other's) show their WIP and step by step pics as they build up models from wire armatures: (click on label "Step-by-Step")
artmikh at blogspot
step by step tutorial by JAG (he has at least one more on his site, and he's another amazing talent):
www.miniaturestudio.net/tutorials/ these guys are all hand sculptors, a LOT of guys now are doing 100% CAD (like GW, hector moran etc). plenty of advice there too, but that's a different process, since it's mainly CAD something, then get it 3-d printed on high end equipment and make a mold (for resin) or start talking to china about test fitting sprues (for plastic).
the guys at the netepic forums (tactical command) do a lot of 6mm sculpting/casting in metal and plastic (mainly from CAD), and they have a very active user base of good and active sci-fi sculptors.
either way google is your friend here. tg doesn't sculpt.
4chan thinks i'm spam. *sigh*

>>34062096 It's kind of unfortunate that I don't have a better computer to do CAD stuff, cuz one of my friends actually got hold of a 3d printer. Thanks for the links.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>34062387 your friend's 3D printer wouldn't help much. when a CAD model is printed, it's printed on one of the $25k+ high res printers, not the makerbots or whatever that people get off kickstarter. they also come out pretty fragile.
the sculpting community is sort of small, so if you hang out in some of the kickstarter projects run by the actual sculptors, there's a lot of info that comes out in updates and comments by the creators.
then other guys like the people at mierce can tell you a lot about the commissioning and molding part of the process, since they contract out artwork and sculpting, do the quality control on it and then do all of the actual mold making and miniature production stuff etc in house. mierce has an active forum, but it's focused on painted, their game, and future miniatures than actual sculpting.
HOWEVER, their site does list the sculptor for every model they have, and almost all of those guys have blogs or some sort, usually with links to other sculptors or forums etc. Forgeworld lists their sculptors too, but those guys are a lot less likely to have blogs.

You are Null Gene, a former patriot experimental super-weapon, with no code name designation as of yet. Employed by Desperado Enforcement LLC, armed with an Exoskeleton engineered for CQC, now enhanced by HF claws, and a multi-purpose rifle. Last session you had been stared at disapprovingly by Monsoon and Sundowner, however received words of praise from the latter and Mistral after a battle with the Dwarf Gekkou woman. To get ready for deployment, you attempted to recruit more forces. After recruiting Mel, Lycaon and X-S2 you were finally ready for deployment. Now only time would tell if you were truly the weapon the Patriots built you to be.

>tfw wanting to play a constantine-like trickster, but not clever enough to do it well Is there worse suffering than not being able to roleplay a character type? I think not.

>>33535555 Im curious. If you were about to play a constantine-character ¿what abilities would you highlight the most?
Maybe i do a Dungeon World sheet about him
Anonymous
>>33535726 I have the opposite problem. If we're clever, the GM lets us get away with pretty much anything.
He just takes notes and remembers details in case we slip up.
The problem is now I can look at a building and figure out the best way to infiltrate and escape without any difficulties. Pretty much ever.
I mean, it makes sense that my top-game badass can outplay some street thugs so often, and that smart experienced people (in and out of game) make good plans.
But he can't scale up the difficulty to save his life. I mean, Mass Effect game, Hidden Cerberus research outpost doesn't have better security than some cameras and pressure plates? Really?
The Shadow Broker wasn't able to account for the fact that the infiltrator might have a TacCloak?
We tricked a former STG operative with a 'pizza delivery' trojan horse gag? That is some loony-toons bullshit right there.

So it's our first RP, Only War, and we were 5k xp in with only 1 lost Fate Point and no deaths, until now, when we finally suffered a casualty. Our Storm Trooper get bisected by a nob in 2 turns of melee. It wasn't a grand ext how we all probably thought a death would be, he was there, then splat. And it only took 2 turns because we forgot the Power Klaw profile (2d10+13) and decided to use one of a Power Fist (2d10+2xSB). Up until this point we've only really fought ork boyz, some traitor guards, and under a dozen Storm Troopers (this is due to the DM being somewhat affraid to have killed us before). I mean damn, this was also the mission we started to get our shit together. The only other Nob we might have had to fight in melee we cheesed by obliterating with thrown demo charges. Up until now the scariest thing on the field would be a loota for us. It's definitely a reality splash on how we can still die really easy and really fast. Anyway /tg/, care to share some of your PC deaths (or DMs share how they killed PCs)? Any system's welcome.
