Wanting to run OSR and WS for my players, and I noticed they have their own maps for them, amd figured to follow it to their vision,

But i am curious how you guys implemented your map files into TTS because I am having difficulties with the resolution and blurriness

So, I have always been the GM of every game and system my group comes across, and I don't scorn my table. I'm not so much a rules lawyer, more like a referee because I will have everything remembered, and people will go about making checks or not doing stuff because they don't remember they can do it, and I have to always just gently remind them of the features and stuff they have, and that includes whenever they try to GM, so it ends up with just... me GMing, but I digress,

I have always loved Warhammer 40k and have been curious to play some of their d100 games, but I am not sure which would be the right one for me to GM that will let me, join the fun, and by that I mean with a DMPC (no not like the ones from the horror stories where the Mary/Gary Sue just flexes on the player, more like, the sidekick the GM gives to fill a missing role)

I know DMPCing is a... tense subject for some but I my table is comfortable with it, and I wanna know what you guys think is the better system for it

Currently Eyeballing either Rogue Trader or Deathwatch (One for variety, the other for "Simplicity" (as simple as these games can be)

So I had this Iron Warband idea in mind called the Boars of Hadria (basically a reference to Hadrians wall as well as numerous Gaelic connections to Boars)

They're mainly a warband without much artillery or vehicles, instead, their battle doctrine is one of infiltration, basically becoming roving warbands across the planets surface like Chaos Warriors of Fantasy, rampaging in skirmish raids and terrorizing the outlying settlements to flee and panic to their capitals, to create panic, supply stress and faults in a cities defences with desperate civilians trying to break their way in for survival. Ripening any city for siege from without and within.

I wanted to create a Kill Team to play my Warband on the tabletop (because its what my friends play the most and also I think it fits their strategy of being infantry marauders)

I was thinking of getting a kit of Chaos Warriors, and replacing their heads with Iron Warrior Mk3s and Mk4s helmets, and using the gear from the Legionary Kill Team set to do the bolter weaponry, but i wanna know if theres better/cheaper ways of combining the look for fantasy Chaos Warriors with Iron Warriors + weaponry

and also, where should I slap on our Hazard Stripes? I was thinking maybe giving each warrior a banner on their backs with a clan flag of their Warband + Stripes but if you guys have any other ideas i'd like to hear it

P.S. Any suggestions for a Team List/build for this would also be appreciated

P.P.S. If anyone is familiar with a carnyx, how would one go about getting/making one for warhammer? hopefully something plastic based since the glue works best with that

I know DnD is a thing of course but that system is a little heavy on the magic, and as we know red wall magic is... Vague.

I was looking for something more, low fantasy, or furry, or both

I know Root has an RPG but any other recommendations as well?

How would you guys go about cosplay certain Frames?

Like Valkyr is 100% a Blackbeard, given the ripcords, berserker NHP, and vicious melee tendencies and the bulky health/Armor pool

But what are some other cosplays you would do for the Warframes?

And also,

Are Grineer more IPS-N or HA?

And is Corpus more SSC or HA?

~and do you think SSC would try transference if Ra wasn't watching?~

So while listening to old Scifi intros to inspire me for sessions, I remembered an old show called SilverSun,

and one of their plots revolved around their Captain dying, and an emergency protocol to open up a special pod, revealing an unawakened clone of the captain.

The plan was to simply harvest the necessary material from the clone without awakening it, and put it back on ice after the procedure. Now in the show one of them wakes up the clone because of an ethetical high ground they felt,

But I am now curious, how would the world of Lancer handle that?

Do they individually clone organs? or do they make flash homunculus to nurse the organs?

And where does that fall under Union's newer laws of Clone rights and liberties to not being property?

For me personally, one of the best options I can see is Gilgamesh, since you cleanse yourself with your core power, give loads of shield, and just a reset, so pairing it with a full heal and cool down and a chance to regain it,

Seems crazy

But who else do you think is just as good?

Been discussing this at my table because I do enjoy destroying terrain to help open up plays by my allies, and wanted to invest more into the skill, but seeing that Impact is MANDATORY, there is NO choice when it triggers,

Felt really off to me, like I'm pretty sure 99% of the other talents effects are *Mays*, it seems really weird that one that can have friendly fire and forces you to move, is mandatory.

My table all agree it should be a choice to trigger impact but what do you guys think?

This thought came to be as I was discussing the dark dystopian aspects of each manufacturer, (HA and Horus were self explanatory, and for IPS-N I just said to recall the opening scenes of Elysium)

But when the topic of SSC came up, outside of the eugenics, I was also discussing their exotic material acquisitions,

And realised.

That SSC would 100% try to capture and replicate Xenomorphs for domesticated weaponry and let hundreds and thousands of people die for it.

And they also would strive towards androidism and, if Ra wasn't looking, would be more driven to uploading the mind into said androids.

And the name alone is also similar with the Western-Eastern collaboration.
