I have the pdf, its actually quite legible despite what others say. So far, only Forged in Battle and Savage Spirits have been complete hack jobs (pdf quality that is). I shudder to think how awful No Disintegrations will be

But hey, one should never complain (too much) over free stuff.

I'm considering making a Trandoshan Antarian Ranger for a TOR era game, and I'm thinking of combo'ing Shadow with Executioner (or Hunter). The only real drawback is the points drain for an Agility that doesn't suck (which is why I'm considering Togruta instead)

Ok, been a fan of SW for basically my whole life, and while I'm still trying to reason if I like or dislike TFA, Rogue One got me hyped like few movies could, I didn't expect it to come out so good (that vader scene man)

>>50804392
FFG games are fun and still supported. Less math-heavy than d20, and the dice are a bit weird but they're easy to get used to. Starfighter combat is rocket tag levels of lethal without houserules or official squadron rules.

>>50804483

>>50804583
The one thing I think is really important to note too is with regards to Force Users. For once in a SWRPG, they aren't overpowered.
This does, however, come at a bit of a cost - they definitely aren't Jedi at character creation, and a force sensitive character at the start of your game is going to be Luke in Episode IV, not Obi-Wan in Episode I (Who is maybe about character generation +150 XP at the start of Episode I. I tend to give out about 10 XP a session).
I think that is great, but some players might come to the game expecting something different.

Does that still stand even if you play Force and Destiny ?

Force and Destiny characters can start slightly better, but they're still pretty weak in the Force at chargen. They've got a much wider array of Forcey options though.

I'm about to join a new game, what are some cool character ideas?

Throwing shit isn't great unless you have a damn good Discipline skill. And god help you if you try that with a large object against something with decent Adversary ranks (like fucking Inquisitors)

Knight-level play is an option for if you want that Obi-Wan-in-TPM feel. 150xp and a lightsaber or 9000 creds goes a long way to building competent characters regardless of the game line.
I did a mixed AoR/F&D convention game with premades using it, they ended it by kicking the shit out of an Inquisitor hunting one of the two Force-sensitives on the team. Both times I ran it the killing blow was struck by the mostly-pacifistic Mon Cal using Harm on his ass

>>50807069
They're all completely independent and have complete copies of the rules. The differences are in the races, class tracks, and equipment in each one (Although there is overlap, like Humans being in all three).
F&D, being the latest one, does have some slight differences (Like dark side points), but the core system is the same and present in all three.
They are extremely compatible with each other, so getting a pdf of the two you aren't playing isn't a bad idea if you want the extra class track options.

>>50807154
Ok thanks ! I'll see if I get one of the books when they'll all be avaible in my country

>>50807069
All three are independent, but have different tools (species, some weapons, enemies and ships) in them. I second getting at least PDFs of all three, if only for the options as a GM it gives you. TIE Defenders, motherfucker!

http://d6holocron.com/wiki/index.php?title=Failed_Jedi_(Template)

>A long time ago, back in the days of the Old Republic, you were an aspiring Jedi. Sure, you remember Skywalker and Kenobi and all that crew. But you failed. You couldn't hack it. The dark side kept calling, and things never worked quite the way you wanted them to. You turned to drink, and things went downhill form there. Then, the Empire came, and suddenly it wasn't healthy to be a Jedi, or even to know anything about them. You spent a lot of years drinking heavily. It's not very pleasant to remember. Now, you've got one more chance. you've got a kid who wants to learn about the Force. You're not sure you can teach him much, but you can try... try to do something worthwhile before you die.

Fits fairly well with the focus on being weak force users in FaD

Anyone have any idea what silhouette I would use to stat up Mu-, Nu-, and Theta-class shuttles? I am thinking 4, but the argument could be made for 3 as well. They all have fairly similar load outs iirc, so weapons and such shouldn't be too difficult. But before I dive into it, does anyone already have them built?

Played my first Armada match yesterday as Imperials and now i'm itching for more.

I tossed this list together with what little Armada knowledge i gained. I'm a bit limited by what my friend owns shipwise (2 ImpStars & 1 Victory class) but we have OK'd proxying cards as we are both using the Armada Fleet Builder.

Is this list any good? I fell in love with Tarkin and the ImpDeuce Avenger build, but I'm not really sure about Isard's Torpy VicDeuce and my squadrons.

>>50809030
I'd personally cut all the shenanigans on the victory relating to black dice. You're slow, you're pondering about, and that's how you like it. I have to ask, you know overload pulse occurs after everything damage related has occurred right? If not, now might be the time to apologize to your opponent, cut the missiles on the vic, upgrade to a vic 2 and give that vic the overload pulse shenanigans.

If you like the overload pulse for setting up the vic and her squadrons, sweet. I'd suggest cutting the launchers anyway and give your missiles wings by bringing along Major Rhymer, Darth Vader, and maybe a normal advanced if you can bring that along. You could also cut the turbolaser upgrade to help facilitate that. That would give you a very similar list, but the vic no longer has to close to black dice range to make someone's life a living hell. Also keep in mind a 2 ship list suffers a lot, especially if you're running up against a bunch of flotillas on the enemy's side of things. If you find the cash, buying a gozanti can serve you really well by being a small ship that you can load in that doesn't cost much and can still help with activations and as a secondary carrier ship.

>>50808631
I would go with 4, myself. I think I may have done one of them before, check the OP. But in general I don't like anything but starfighters being silhouette 3

>>50805084
This picture is such utter bullshit. There is no fucking way even Obi-Wan in his prime could have survived that.

>>50809670
Well Vader is supposed to be really fucking hardcore...

>>50809700
Yeah but come the fuck on. The scene in R1 was good, because the dudes were scared, trapped in a narrow corridor and not ready for a fight.

There's more than 100 men surrounding him, many with Pulse Cannons. Even blocking that with a lightsaber will knock you on your ass and do some damage.

He fakes a surrender, activates the thermal detonators of an infantry squad and vanishes into the smoke, dust and confusion. The squads lose morale and cohesion as he picks them off.

Well I have the collected version but it's obvious there's and end of issue break between the two scenes.

In an non-meta sense the Alliance Sargent/Lieutenant/Captain is really keen for Vader just to surrender and keeps asking. Vader pauses during this and while his thoughts aren't explicit he's seems to reassess and avoid going full Dynasty Warriors because that'll probably get him killed.

The general idea is to keep overlapping front arcs, Relentless burns down and exhausts then Avenger pummels the crap out of 'em. Fighters and bombers do harassing duty mostly.

>>50810966
Something you might want to consider is 2 copies of Electronic countermeasures instead of the current defensive retrofits. Having access to your Brace through accuracies is really helpful.

Additionally, would you consider running rogues, or do you not at the moment have access to Rogues and Villains fighter packs? Some aggressors would put down heavy fire and help deal with problem squadrons without forcing your ISDs to invest squadron commands on them. If not nbd.

Finally, you might want to consider XI7 turbolasers instead of your current turbolaser loadouts. Almost every ship in the game has a redirect, and limiting them allows your accuracies to focus on the really big problem defense tokens. The only ships this upgrade won't help with is Nebulons, raiders and flotillas, which in most circumstances would die to a shot from an ISD unaided except for maybe that nebulon if you hit it on the nose, and that's a big maybe.

Does anybody else think it's weird how they claim that Raddus is based off of Churchill? I guess you can kind of see it in the way he looks but his actions and lines in the movie don't seem to be particularly influenced by that
I didn't like it when I found out that Raddus was supposed to be based off of Churchill since I really liked Raddus but dislike Churchill

>>50811808
It's honestly kind of a dumb claim. He's old, militant, and has a unpleasantly fat neck, so he's apparently Churchill. Based on that, my grandfather is also based on Churchill.

>>50811808
>>50811851
Being based on something doesn't mean it's a carbon copy.

>>50811886
The point I'm trying to make is that even then, there are not enough similarities to make it work. He's an old militant man with a fat neck who believes in action first; that alone does not a Churchill reference make. You could just as easily take away the claims of him being based on Churchill with those and say "he's based on Trump!" The vagueness of how he's "based," on Churchill is that thin a veneer.

>>50811851
Churchill was also one of the few leaders in Western Europe who acknowledged the danger of Nazi Germany before the war and denounced the strategy of appeasement, which Raddus taps into.

He's also like Churchill in that he's a naval officer who was at least partially responsible for a very, very costly military campaign like Gallipoli was

Which unintentionally implies that the Empire is Kebab

>>50811917
Artists use references to convey a certain vibe, no matter how small. Also not everyone knows much detail about Churchill other than "badass british prime minister who fought Nazis"

D6 is, well, a D6 system. It's the original Star Wars licensed system which basically built large portions of the old EU.

FFG uses a dice pool with symbols instead of numbers, which works well narratively if you can wrap your head around it. It sticks 95% to EU content with some nu-canon stuff here and there - mostly because it was first coming out around the time that the EU was still technically canon and the Mouse had just acquired LucasFilm.

No, she's still competent when a main character is aboard her.

Or, if you want to get technical, the Scarif destroyers seemed underprepared, probably under supplied - doing little more than being mobile shuttle carriers. An entire Rebel fleet in a sacrifice play rolls up to their door, they're shit out of luck. No escort or screening ships, the fighter garrison is on the shield gate, and they get slashed by a Y-Wing barrage reminding the empire Ordinance is a thing.

Generally my guys would start out stealing TIE's and Z's, but the lack of hyperdrive can make it tricky if they don't have a carrier type setup on whatever space truck/shitbox they've probably also stolen. At least with the Y it's got a droid socket so they can plug in an astromech and maybe not end up flying through planetary bodies.
Plus the gunner position makes them pretty strong.
Also by the time Y-wings are stolen by my little space terrorists they'll also have managed to figure out how to do maintenance, mod them like a Honda Civic and not die in a dog fight nearly as much

>>50813940

Actually, here's an interesting thought.

Scarif is basically an Inverse Endor situation.

Rebel commando insertion in a stolen shuttle, past a shield generator, with a fleet covering. Only the fleet isn't a distraction so much as they are the extraction on Scarif, and the Pathfinders deliberately blow stuff up to distract from the fact they're here to steal something. The Empire is caught completely with their pants down and even with a couple of destroyers and the ground garrison aren't able to control the enemy force completely. If Tarkin, DS-1 and Devastator hadn't shown up, Red and Gold would probably have taken the airspace, extracted the rest of the Rogue unit and been able to drop the plans in Mon Mothma's lap.

Endor is actually a trap with an overwhelming ground and space force, a shield generator which protects the prime target but is isolated enough to prevent the rebels from doing one of their hit and runs with a block of Xs or Ys. They allow the new plans to be stolen again to deliberately lead the Alliance in, and Vader lets the fake shuttle pass. All to spring the trap which would not follow the Scarif script. It retroactively makes it so Sheev was deliberately trying to subvert one of the Alliance's most memorable victories. And shows the Empire can learn some new tricks.

so the whole battle would have ended entirely in the Empire's favor if Krennic had been more cautious and attempted to remove any options the rebels might have had, right? All he needed to do was close the shield gate as soon as it was revealed soldiers were on the ground and deploy the garrison more conservatively to still have squads patrolling to catch Jyn and her team. Hell, even just closing the shield gate would have eventually killed all the rebel operators and let the whole garrison hunt down Jyn once it was realized she was inside.

Kinda sucks that the reason the Empire lost the plans was due to a middle manager taking over and trying to earn back some respect he clearly wasn't going to deserve.

>>50816891

Arrogance and dismissal of the enemy spells doom for the big bad? Who could have guessed.

>>50816891

They had no idea just how many Rebels were in there, how specifically they got in there, or what their goals were.

And given what the Empire saw of the attack, there was zero evidence that the facility archives itself was being infiltrated. It just looked like an attack.

There were still troops patrolling they killed KC afterall but obviously when you have a major situation going down outside, you tend to send people were until then wondering inside outside. You don't go, "Oh well we better send half as much strength we need outside just in case they sneak inside."

So who's the worst EU character you've ever incorperated into a Star Wars tabletop game?

I once used pic related as a kind of low-to-mid game adversary for an Age Of Rebellion game, reinterpreting him as an Imperial spice baron looking to gain political power during the rebellion by causing a race war on Naboo and a false flag jedi attack on the moon dwelling space miners in order to bring more resources under his managment.

>Churchill was also one of the few leaders in Western Europe who acknowledged the danger of Nazi Germany before the war and denounced the strategy of appeasement, which Raddus taps into.

I don't want to get all political, but the reason Nazi Germany was even a threat was because of retards like Churchill pushing them. If they really wanted to fight Hitler, they could've just made a deal with the USSR to co-invade during the whole Polish partition thing, but nah, French and British forces sat on their asses for a whole fucking year doing fuck all as Poland fell. Churchill was a drugged up egomaniac who's strategies were stuck in the past. He fought a war to "save the Empire" and ended up selling it to the Americans. Dumbass.

...And to put in a little Star Wars here, it's the same reason why the NR should've gone for the Imperial Remnant approach as in Legends and given the Imperials a little bit of space and allowed them to breath. The fact they didn't is what led to the rise of the First Order which in turn got their capital and fleet blown up to smithereens and the Galaxy right back under a dictatorship. Again, dumbasses.

Your staggering lack of knowledge regarding history is sadly unsurprising. For starters, Churchill wasn't the Prime Minister of Britain until the 10th of May, 1940, which you might remember as being after Poland fell.

Furthermore, Poland fell in a month flat, before the British and French militaries could even fully mobilize and why on earth would the USSR sign up to help the West in 1939 when the USSR had nothing to gain from helping them beat the Germans? The Brits and French wouldn't be too happy with letting them occupy Poland, a nation whose independence they had guaranteed, while Germany was willing to go halfsies with them.

>>50819051
>>50819085
Disregard the shit about Poland, I suck cocks.

Everything else is correct though. Pressuring the Poles to give the krauts Danzig would've avoided war. Well, it would've avoided a West-German war, but the top ranking Germans like Hitler, Bormann, etc were pretty intent on destroying and colonizing the USSR.

>So who's the worst EU character you've ever incorporated into a Star Wars tabletop game?

I once had Jodo Kast show up in my EotE campaign - because one of my players pissed off Jabba so much he hired Boba Fett.

The funny part of this is I have a standing rule in my campaigns - if you kill a signature character, the campaign immediately ends. So the Players, understanding that Boba Fett is after them, got really pissy
>so, if we want the game to continue we just have to let Boba Fett kill us?
>Yes. Well, just kill the guy who pissed off Jabba - the bounty isn't on everyone
>So...we have to let Fett kill Dral for the campaign to continue?
>Yes

So, Boba Fett appeared, and they killed him. Were all pretty surprised it was such an easy fight too (I had told them that for Boba Fett I wasn't going to make rolls - the Fett has no stats). When the campaign didn't immediately end, they started wondering what was up.

Thats when Boba Fett showed up. And we got to have the little reveal. He was fairly happy the party killed some amateur pretending to be him, so he let the players go (which is funny because Jabba had hired Kast, not the real Fett, so he technically wasn't obligated to do anything)

>>50819133

Vader is significantly better than Obi-Wan in his prime ever was, in both skill (a lifetime of training in both Jedi and Sith arts) and raw power (midi-chlorian counts, prophetic plot armor). Mace Windex, Qui-Gon, and Yoda together would have had problems with Vader as he was in the original trilogy. Luke only beat Vader because Vader could never muster proper killing intent against his son, and that attachment was used to get Vader to kill Palpatine in RoTJ.

>Pressuring the Poles to give the krauts Danzig would've avoided war.
Dude. Danzig wasn't Polish. It was a free city that was 90% German and ruled by their own Nazi party. Please stop posting.

What the Germans demanded was an exterritorial corridor from Germany to Danzig. And Brits forcing Poles to give it would mean Poland switching over to the German-aligned camp, which would result in war later. And while Polish military lost in 1939, it was because it wasn't prepared for this sort of warfare - it was however well prepared for a war against the Soviets. It would bolster German forces, which is exactly what Germans wanted, and the Brits didn't want.

The second choice was war sooner rather than later, destruction of Poland, and creation of a long Soviet-German border, which would lead to German-Soviet war that Germans would inevitably lose. This is what we got.

I mean, we have this whole scene of officiers on the Star Destroyer shitting their pants because an entire fleet appeared in front of them and all I could think was "WHY AREN'T YOU SHOOTING YET?"
Not to mention how long it took to deploy the damn TIE.

>It's still quite underwhelming how a little flight of Y-wings could so easily disable a cruiser

Thats what TIE's are for, to counter bombers. the TIE's were busy mixing it up with the X-Wings

>hich is pretty sad compared to how feared they were in episodes 5-6.

You don't see Star Destroyers engaging fighters in either 5 or 6, except for one little scene where an X-Wing gets vaped right before fire and brimstone.

>how the two fleet seemed to fucking stare at each other for so long before actually engaging

I can only chock this up the idea that those Star Destroyer captains were green, and the Imperial Navy completely ignored any kind of idea that the Rebels could deploy capital ships in strength, much less actual line ships. It was surprise and hesitation.

As for the TIE's, it did take a long time to launch them. My thought on this was that there was a command breakdown between deciding to fight or turtle up - after all, the Rebels can't do shit to get through the shield, so what does it matter how many ships they have? But once shit got real it was pretty clear that this was going to be a slugging match.

The Empire isn't infallible, and their military isn't perfect - the only thing they have over the Rebellion is economy, they don't even beat it technologically.

In Anon's defence, some of us don't get much choice in what groups we play with. I generally play with a group I've known since college because I don't know anybody else who /ttrpg/s. They're far from perfect. We have a girl that gets bored and decides that suddenly her character is LOLRANDUMB, we have a guy that likes to have nice, long chats with NPCs for no particular reason, and pretty much all of us have, at 1 point or another broken a game by intentionally siding against the group or using some bizarre exploit. House rules help prevent that sort of thing.

Our current house rule is "The Order of Bligh". The Order are survivors from our very first AoR game. It was our GM's first time and he gave us far too much freedom. We fucked up that Galaxy so bad that the survivors formed a trans-dimensional order to follow us through our other games and prevent us from completely derailing the game. It actually works pretty well and it can be fun fighting the order too.

I had an idea for an AoR/F&D campaign, but wanted to present the premise here to see if it sounds good.

>Opens up at the Battle of Coruscant, PC's are fighting it out with CIS, BIG EPIC BATTLE.
>Get a transmission over all comms from Obi Wan Kenobi, frantically shouting that Palpatine is Darth Sidious, In a final act of petty revenge Dooku blabbed Palpatine's entire master plan to Anakin and Kenobi
>suddenly things get weird, Palpatine, in an attempt to salvage what he can issues order 66 early, so right there the clones turn on the Jedi amist this heated battle, Republic ships firing on republic ships while other ships (mostly the ones with mixed clone and non-clone crews) stop all actions while their crews battle for control of the ship, some CIS ships flee not sure what's going on, etc... PC's now have to survive this maelstrom of crossfire.
>assuming the PC's make it out of that in one piece they are faced with a pivitol choice, the Clone and CIS forces have formed into a combined force to attack Coruscant, some move to strike the Senate building while others move to attack the Jedi temple and the PC's have to decide which to go aid, forsaking the other to it's fate.
>in either case the PC's and any ships still under jedi and/or republic control will have to flee Coruscant in order to regroup and plan what comes next.

In effect the Galactic Civil war would kick off 20-years early and with a less monolithic Empire to oppose a more well-armed and better-equipped resistance, with the PC's now playing a more pivotal role in running said rebellion.

So, it seems like a while since the 1d4chan page on X-Wing was updated; the Imperial section doesn't have any info on the TIE Striker or TIE/sf. I haven't flown either of these yet, but has anyone gotten enough experience to write tactics for them?

Have a double Defender/Bomber. I call it the TIE Barrager

>>50824456
TIE striker is too new, doubt anywone has much experiance.
TIE/sf I want to see with the new mod from the striker. It's a tough craft for an empire small ship, and takes a while to shoot down but 2 agi means that it's lot worse than a defender. With the mod it's closer to a defender in staying while still being cheaper.

The aux arc is nice, but the few games I've seen/played it's not reliable. Which is why I don't think backdraft is as good, because if you're trying to manuever for that arc it's actually harder than normal manuevers and the /sf isn't that agile. Better to treat it as insurance against getting arc dodged.

I think it's biggest problem is that it has a lot of parts, lots of upgrade options, aux arc etc. And it's not clear how all those fit together.

Sounds neat. Why is it called that? And what sort of characters make it up? Do they literally appear and go "you're fucking with the timeline, quit it."?

>>50825310
I've flown the /sf a bit. I tried a funny build that was title, Rage, Tie Ion mk2, Electronic Baffle, on Quickdraw. The potential damage output is obscene, but Quickdraw doesn't last very long at all under this build. It is a hilarious alpha strike, that will either spread a lot of hits forward and back, or dump up to two 4-die attacks on some unlucky bastard in front of it. I murdered an Asaaj Shadowcaster that way.

>>50825523
I've proxied "Pure Sabbac" TIE Striker and he was murder incarnate with VI, Ailerons and Target Comp.

That one turn he ended up at range 1 with TL turned the entire game for me. Sure he ate ALL the aggro on consecutive turns but it was all worth it. 5 attacks with TL to the face hurts like a bitch

While we're talking X-Wing

https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v4!s!226:219,-1,209,142,187,147:45:3:;184:-1:-1:-1:;184:-1:-1:-1:;184:-1:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron

Some good support and hazing from the Upsilon, but the real focus is using Hux to give out focus to help your /fos stay alive while two of them give up their evade tokens and let you slam a single target with six attack dice at once.

Not sure if it'll be viable, but it's fluffy and seems fun.

I'm thinking about picking up a K-Wing to use Miranda as (yet another) regen wingman for my Rey, but I'm having trouble thinking of a build.
My Rey build is 56 points, if that helps anyone.

I do not think you understand the usage of that term. A "hangar queen" is an aircraft that is grounded, and stripped of parts to service other aircraft and keep them running.

>>50826466
Perhaps Hangar Whore would be a better term?

>>50826466
I've never once heard it used that way. I've only heard it as a ship that needs constant care.

>>50825599
The Order of Bligh was named for its founder, Jorrik Bligh, a former Imperial officer who defected to the Rebellion. He was our primary quest giver who we routinely fucked over. After our hijinks, which caused the mass devastation of the Galaxy and the intentional deaths of his men, he gathered up the survivors his universe and vowed to hunt us through every game and every timeline we ever influenced.

The Order are assembled similar to the Fel Empire. The majority of their forces are made up of storm troopers. However they also have a number of powerful Grey Jedi and Mandalorian mercenaries.

As a rule, they appear out of the scenery. That tree over there? 3 Order men holding leaves. That Bed? 4 Order men laid out flat.

They always attack immediately, but generally disappear once you've stopped doing whatever bullshit thing summoned them in the first place. The quantity and disposition of their forces are entirely at the discretion of the GM. So the worse the offence, the more Order-men show up.

I had the idea to hand out stormtrooper statblocks to a large group of players and have them run through some sort of meatgrinder xboxhuge battle during the Galactic Civil War. Literally just kill them over and over again, adding a new number or letter to their trooper number whenever they eat a thermal detonator or take a blaster to the face or run into their Dark Lord in a bad mood.

Alternate versions of this game include playing a team of specialized battle droids or astromech for shenanigans, playing a Clone battalion on some CIS shithole, or playing some early First Order stormtroopers on their first mission.

Now if Only I could find some players with something resembling a consistent schedule and the will to keep appointments.

Google it. The only definition that comes up different, is the urban dictionary (which has one defintion listed). All other definitions for the term, as well as how the airforce and navy use the term, is to refer to a grounded plane that is being salvaged for parts.

>>50827292
It depends on how I'm feeling afterward. It would most likely depend on the players.

If it were up to me, survivors would get rewarded with a promotion...to a canonically doomed regiment or assignment.

Well Nietzschean morality is pretty vile.

>>50827718

>>50827718
>>50827753
more that people misinterprete Nietzschean's description of a moral system as an endorcement of that system.
The Geneology of Morals describes two moral systems which he calls 'master' and 'slave' morality, but be never actually says that 'master' morality is better. Some people assumed this because they assumed that the master is better than the slave, his argument was to challenge those sort of assumptions.

Of course he was also extremely misogynistic and that was just all him and seemed to overrun any other sort of philosophy he was doing. Part of the reason to stick to the Geneology of Morals is that he never mentions women once, which makes it a much easier read than say Beyond Good and Evil.

>>50827853
Yes, but I'm an idiot.

>>50827868
Given what a bitch his proto-and eventually full-Nazi sister was can you blame him for not liking women?

>>50827868
Keep in mind the climate Nietzsche was writing in. His views on women, while not exactly as kind as some, were better than many others of the time (consider Schopenhauer) and pretty novel in that he brought out the idea that women weren't incapable, pure Madonnas, which was pretty radical at the time. He was fairly influential on later feminists for a reason.

Also a lot of his more cringe-inducing rants were brought about by him being rejected by Lou Salome, so you know, imagine a crying Wojak writing those and it gets more bearable.

>>50827775
In the way that he himself thought it was awful and trying to solve the problem of his own life work hounded him to the grave.

>>50827922

I know there are reasons, and it's not always like that, but I did have to put down Beyond Good and Evil after he basically said (out of fucking nowhere)
"The way to treat good women same as you treat bad women, use a whip".
Also, at his time you also had people like Mills, so Nietzsche doesn't get a free pass for his times.

R1 definitely has a bit of that "Okay, let's go do something stupid and dangerous, we'll need this asshole, that asshole and that other guy" You get in some game scenarios. And then the uneven levels of characterization/backstory - the same thing you might get in a campaign. Jyn's player clearly turned in some more material to the GM than K2's or Bodhi's.

Clearly using AoR GM's kit Squad rules.

>>50828316

Personally, I thought Bodhi was an NPC.

Chirrut and Baze had good backstory and K2 was sparse, but they all really killed it in the role-playing side.

Well, according to his CW stuff, a Munificent can deliver petatons, which would approximately burn off an entire hemisphere per shot with it's main gun, and that's just a frigate by his standards

>>50828490
True, but the drawn Munificent guns were really massive (Even compared to their offical CG models) so I think he upscaled from more ordinary ones further than he was supposed to.
