You still rushed it.

Meh.

Great.

Bad writing. (Sorry, English as second language.)

It's... beautiful! T_T

I am GM\ I voted for this because I'm a smartass.

[warhammer651]

Will post today.

Why is it that I find that picture so funny?

Because.... you've become desensitized to the internet?

What? All of the internet?! You can do that?

It happens.

OR you may have gone SO insane it just doesn't matter

When is a talking piece of soap not involved?

 Ok, so I lost interest in this, but I i'll try not to end this with an ass pull. Anyway, waiting list is locked, and I didn't add anyone who posted, so only KaguroDraven and Tarran are on the list. I will end the game when only two players are left alive. This should end soon. So now there is a reason to actually try survive. Yes, you can win.

 By the way, when I end this I will start either:
-An RTD in the Warhammer 40000 universe, inspired by the release of Dawn Of War II : Retribution. Very free rules allowing lots of badass improvisation.
-A large scale full-PVP strategy game with mechanics inspired by WH40k such as customizable units, but taking place on a political rather that tactical map (much easier to track).  More rules and numbers than this game, but less storytelling, letting me do more actions, thus relying on competitiveness and value of players strategy for fun.

 I'm just not satisfied with the rules of this game. The rules are too tight for improvisation, but not tight enough to require actual skill.

 Posting turn right now.

[Taricus]

One question about the WH40K RtD. Tau?

 Quip is going insane, Draignean will face a ghost and Krath is fighting a creature. This will end soon enough.

 @Taricus: Tau are my favorite faction, but I probably won't include them because they aren't popular due to lack of grimdark. I was thinking of having: Space Marines who are declared heretics due to studying chaos artifacts VS Inquisition led Imperial Guard who want to destroy aforementioned SM vs Bloodletter heavy Khornite Chaos SM who open a portal and want to sacrifice all life on the planet for Khorne vs Ork looters who just like to loot and fight. The game would end when someone gets a powerful chaos artifact (SM get the artifact and study it, then send all their chapter in because they no longer risk destroying the artifact. IG/Inquisition force find the artifact and use it to prove that the planet is tainted enough for exterminatus. Chaos uses the artifact, making the portal grow and releasing an ancient daemon easily capable of destroying whole planets. Orks get the artifact and other ork clans hear about it, making many, many looters come to the planet). For large armies I would use a system similar to yours.

Edit: Or I could pull of a Dark Crusade, or even worse - Soulstorm. In case you don't know, those are games in the Dawn of War RTS series set in the world of WH40K. Soulstorm was developed by another team who knew nothing about the fluff. "THE IMPERIAL GUARD LOST 1000 BANEBLADES IN THE CONFLICT! DURR!" indeed.

[Taricus]

ORKZ!

[tomas1297]

 On a side note, this looks like a good time to place bets on who dies first.

[Taricus]

$10 on krath.

And Strategy 40K for the win!

And Strategy 40K for the win!

The problem is, I haven't played Tabletop (so expensive T_T) and deciding which unit deals more damage/ has more health/ dodges faster/ etc. would be hard. Also so many special rules. I tried checking some sheets. Some units can have 4 special rules with all those rolls to not go insane (chaos dreadnaught?), rolls to revive yourself (necron warriors), deep striking rules (terminators, bloodletters and more), infiltration (MANY!)... How does invisibility work in tabletop games anyway?

[Taricus]

It just means they start anywhere on the table

[tomas1297]

 Also wanted to mention this.
 

Spoiler: Upcoming Necron unit ("Tomb Stalker") (click to show/hide)

 

 This makes me feel even sadder about not having the money and intelligence to play WH40K tabletop. Gorgeous, gorgeous miniatures. How do people paint things like that?

Edit: So, do you play tabletop?

[Taricus]

Rescouces to do so: yes.
Anyone to play with: no.

[warhammer651]

Read the book whilst whispering prayers to the God Emprah of mankind

[tomas1297]

Rescouces to do so: yes.
Anyone to play with: no.

The only people here who play tabletop here are 50-something people who play 20-30 year old classical games. I blame the huge population of chavs and small amount of nerds. Also, poor, poor economy. When I immigrate and become filthy rich I promise I'll play with you. : P

Edit: Curse you, warhammer651 for reminding me.
