Dark Heresy (Warhammer 40k)

You made a typo there, but do not worry, I fixed it for you.

The point is that the Dark Heresy rules are terrible since the more experienced, and thus supposedly less-likely to unleash demonic hordes, psykers are the ones who are more likely to cause everything to go to hell. Everyone has basically the same chance in the other ruleset, but at least the more experienced psykers can be more powerful than someone only just learning to use their abilities without causing demonic incursions.

I didn't read his mind, I read his post.

I meant for actually creating a character that will still be accepted if somebody else comes along with a similar idea.

That is not at all what he said.Whether you posted either here or in the OOC first is irrelevant. It is the quality of your God's CS that he will be judging, not what time you happened to be online.

I lost a not when reading that.

Though now it's a subjective 'whether I like this or not' thing...

I am no good at playing 'read the GM's mind'. Hm.

Nations and Deities

So... who gets to play what is determined not by who first showed interest, but by who can scrape something together as soon as possible after the OOC is put up, despite potentially not even being on at the time? ... why?

you didn't really point it out, your posts made it sound like there was a difference in power and it didn't seem fair.

Because you weren't reading anything I'm saying. Because I quite clearly said 'outclassed in every way', and mentioned skill and experience as well as power. It's not my fault you didn't look, and took this to mean that I was talking only about raw ability strength.

Anyway, the training mission has shown me that there's no point in continuing to take part in this RP, as anything less than either top-tier power or being a tactical genius will help, since the villains are going to be even stronger than the trainers or something. Thus, the instant there's a fight, rocks fall, everyone dies, except maybe the two characters who have durability as a power.

I have no faith that things are going to improve, so I'm out.

MrDidact also pointed out that you made your characters that way, Gabriel could go toe to toe with the trainers in the training room. when you want your characters to be like street level heroes then they are going look outclassed when compared to A list heroes. This rp is very much like the justice league and in the justice league, there are A list and C list heroes. Batman at first glance looks out of place and weak when compared to the rest of founding members of the league, but when he shows off his brains and strategic skills then you see why he deserves to be on a team of heroes like the justice league. comic books do this all the time and it works.

And you've proved you're not reading anything, just insisting 'batman' and 'comics do it'. This conversation is pointless.

my whole point is that power level difference is not everything when it comes to superheroes, it is proven time and time again in western comics. Just because some of the heroes are stronger than others doesn't make your character useless, again Batman is a primary member of the justice league and has no powers.

... Yog, it's not just the power level difference. It's the fact that the PC's are apparently completely unable to cope with the NPC's in any capacity. One of the characters basically is Batman.

and again I point to how superman can make many heroes look weak but they still offer a great asset to the justice league.

Stop acting like I'm saying 'it's wrong they're stronger'. If you say that one more time it's clear you're not actually reading anything I write.

It is wrong, that they are better in every damn way.

Hot Rod would consider himself an A-lister since he is basically a celebrity in America and has a great amount of fans, he also has beaten a lot of villains.

... which doesn't matter because apparently he is nothing compared to any one of the trainers. None of the PC's are. This is the problem; even supposedly-experienced heroes are complete novices in comparison.

Dark Heresy (Warhammer 40k)

As a warning, if psykers show up, they're using the Rogue Trader/Black Crusade (possibly Deathwatch?) rules rather than Dark Heresy's.

Because a ruleset that would have Eldar Farseers and the Emperor spawn demonic armies whenever they did anything is questionable at the absolute best.

If the NPC heroes are that good, there is absolutely no point to being in the roleplay, because you've equated 'not big-league superheroes and already in the league' with 'cannon fodder C-listers'. If there are that many vastly more powerful, skilled, experienced heroes, there is no reason for the PC's to exist. They would never be asked to deal with anything more than petty crime, because next to the NPC's they'll just get in the way.
