Wouldn't all of this require literally everyone that isn't in the inquisition to simultaneously decide that the inquisition is bad? I mean, the Sisters could go off and say the inquisition is a bunch of wankers all they like, but if the Astartes (and all of them at that) don't follow suit, the Sisters get branded agents of Chaos and are wiped out.

FireSight posted:It's not that MAKING it takes that long (although it is FAR more complex than that. The file used for printing is NOT the same as one you would use to make a PDF, speaking as somebody who has family doing the layout job for textbooks). Yeah, but they were exporting PDFs of the beta constantly so they obviously have the whole process set up. Guess I'm just used to Pathfinder where the PDFs are available same day (or earlier) than the print books.

Werix posted:That might be a thing with the PDFs. The actual physical copy of the book is beautiful to look at and behold. They did an especially fine job in the armory section, the small drawings of the weapons are the best out of all the books, I think especially since they colored them in for a change. The yellowed parchment doesn't bother me, and I find the charts easier to read. So how's your book holding up? My buddy that bought it is reporting that his is falling apart to the point that he's concerned its going to start losing pages after a week and building 5 characters for campaign he's working on.

Pharmaskittle posted:2E aside since I'm not familiar enough with it, Only War is the cleanest, best version of the system. Fun-wise, it doesn't really matter where you start, so go for Rogue Trader if it's the game style that interests you. The ideal would probably be to use OW rules with RT setting and gear, but that'd require some familiarity with the game and having both books, so I'd just grab RT and let it rip. DH 2E is basically just the OW system

If any of you have ever had the burning desire to create Dark Heresy 2.0 characters with a program called "Whiplash450's ToonGen", your long wait is over! http://heresycreator.96.lt/ Seems to work decently, other than the unfortunate ToonGen naming.

Ronwayne posted:From what I've seen, a lot more of the basic human enemies in 2.0 have body armor. also cover and whatnot matters more. Whereas in DH, basic goons and starting acolytes had 0-2 armor, now it seems goons have 2-4, and mid level troops have 4-6. This is compensated for by the fact that now EVERY starting PC can get a set of guard flak, if they want to, at chargen. And the very first guys that you could find to fight in the "how to play" module at the end of the book have handcannons with manstopper bullets, thus negating any armor any of your guys have. Also, everyone can start with a full set of enforcer carapace armor if they're so inclined with the Arbites background.

Some standardizing of the rules would help too. Like on the insanity front: Cortex implants in RT give 1d10 insanity, in OW the cerebral implants (which do the same thing) do not. So even the few cybernetics that have penalties aren't consistent about it.

Doodmons posted:What's weird about 6 foot Alpha Legion is that I distinctly remember that in Gaunt's Ghosts, the average imperial guardsman is like 2 metres tall. I got the impression that was pretty normal in the Imperium and I chalked it up to 40 thousand years of natural selection in the grimdark universe, and a whole Dark Age of Technology's worth of widespread genetic engineering meaning that pretty much everyone in the Imperium was a 7 foot bodybuilder. The average guard being 2 meters seems high. The DW book says that the average Space Marine is 2.1 meters tall in their armor (with very little variation marine to marine).

Could also look at a Terracotta Army style for your Chinese legion. Pull out a Samurai themed one, curved power swords, custom helmets (granted, disguising themselves as demons has a distinctly negative connotation in WH40k). Are there any published Legions based on the more South American cultures? Bring out the Aztec Shorn Ones.

It's just 'roll some dice to do a thing that's kinda important for random encounters sorta' and then a crappy cutrate psyker. I've asked the same question. I also wish that RT's psyker class was just a sanction psyker vs the astropath which I just can't stop thinking of as some sort of glorified phone sanitizer.

John Dyne posted:Using Deathwatch is a reaaaaally bad example, because I don't think many Deathwatch games here make it very far past the first handful of pages, because people get bored of playing/running them. Hell, there's not many Deathwatch games ever running simply because, as a consensus, it's boring as sin because the characters typically aren't very deep. Someone just needs to do a wholescale XP revamping on Deathwatch. The characters are so boring because everything costs so drat much

Tias posted:Yeah, but as I said, the only thing the Imperium does not tolerate is secession. Even potential sedition is (according to the book of judgment) punishable by having yourself and three layers of family executed. As I interpret it, I doubt even a space marine would be allowed to suddenly start a colonization project outside the purview of the Adeptas Ministorum and Administratum without conflict brewing. I dunno, some space marine chapter deciding to dump a bunch of colonists on a death world to see if it results in a better recruitment source seems like a Thing That Would Happen.
