#Knights and dragons hack 2017 series#

There’s simulation to be had (obviously see Corruption below) but everyone at the table should be ready to reinterpret the “fluff” of a class or racial feature to be the result of Mechanicum augmentations, specialized training, and the like. Players and GMs are in for a very narrative experience.

After this we’ve got ~19 more to fill in equipment, specific class roles, and various monsters. This is a complicated project so I’ve mapped out how I’m doing it all–to give the God-Emperor and his universe due justice, one post won’t do it. I’m sure there’s a balance we could strike by amping up non-space marines and just assuming a higher average party level when calculating CR (by 1 or 2 or whatever) but I’d rather have somebody playing a space marine feel like a freaking monster on the battlefield.įurthermore, if one character gets power armor, they should all get power armor (or at the very least a void shield come back next week) because now everything is going to need upped by at least 1 CR. They are really, really powerful, even with the different race stuff and reduced backgrounds and even if they aren’t wielding extremis weapons–they kind of have to be or we’re not going to have the right feel for Warhammer 40k. If you’ve got a space marine around I recommend at least keeping them 1 level lower (maybe 2 levels lower) than other PCs. If you spot a way this can improve, share the info! I’m on Twitter Facebook, Google+, and you can leave messages below the post. By all means please go to Mire and fight the Lutomorbus rocking your d100s (and d10s, and tell me about how it went!), but if you have players reticent to pick up Only War or what have you, try breaking them in with the material found here.īesides–it gives us something to enjoy while we all spin our wheels waiting for Wrath & Glory to come out, and when it *does* hit the table your D&D group will be raring to go! 😀

#Knights and dragons hack 2017 series#

The hacks in this series are a way to crack the door open for Dark Heresy or any of the other awesome tabletop RPGs set in the grimdark future. Today however it’s a little bit more lively as I’m starting the first post of a new blog series: Warhammer 40k D&D 5e !īefore you throw your hands up in the air and cry out that this is heresy, hear me out–I got to work on Black Crusade, it is one of several awesome Warhammer 40k RPGs, and I loved the opportunity to be a part of Tome of Decay, but it’s not always easy to sell your group on trying out a new system. In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. ^^ Congratulations to those of you that don’t click above.
