Accidentally 23 dimensions.

About 60 ghouls in a dnd game.

In an exalted game? around a hundred thousand goblins.

There's never been proper mass battles in our game, sadly. DnD isn't really built well for that.

>>7282138

Not really 'personally', but one of our acolytes fucked up bigtime and got possessed by a daemon-knife. He went on a rampage (on Spectoris I believe, I didn't run that game), murdered enough people to create an urban myth about him, and then the party got the planet 'cleansed' sometime afterwards for their fuckup of an escapade (they basically 'failed' the adventure').

He still has that goddamn knife.

One of our PC's got into a bar fight with a Navy crew about 60+ strong and eventually got 'em all either by fists, stabbing, and torching the place.

Needless to say we don't go there anymore.

We kinda sunk Atlantis...

50 orcs with a level 1 mage. 3rd edition. No magic items, one spell used one time that killed something like 4 of them. The rest were by hand, plan, and cunning. 18wis/int ftw.

>>7282626
Now that's pretty impressive. Did you gain a level?

>>7282681
Yes, but I was pretty pissed he stopped me at halfway through level 2. I was like damn, I should be like level 5 or some shit! Heh.

>>7282707
Well, only one level per session. But he could've, and should've, rewarded you in other ways for that. Some extra badass points or something.

Killed around 13 ghouls in d20 modern with a level 10 character. In fantasy D&D, I've had a fighter that handled 2 trolls to himself at level 10 because he was the trippingest bastard.

I killed 3 dozen ish undead in a d20 Modern game by bringing the building down around them.

Also, in a Palladium game, killed a blue gnomish-type guy (basically a 2 foot tall smurf) by hitting it with another smurf. Now our group has the inside joke of "What's the critical hit rating of a smurf?"

>>7282707
He should have given you a Gestalt level.

I played a character written up by the GM and randomly assigned to me, once. His name was Publius Quintus Atreus.

He was an undead Roman general who conducted genocide campaigns in ~100 Prime material planes and was largely responsible for the eradication of ~600-700 nations or cultures across several thousand universes. His kill count was easily in the millions. There isn't enough paper on Earth to write down every single one of his enemies.

Fortunately, the campaign took place in a setting that was plane-locked, so the few of his enemies that were powerful enough couldn't physically get to him. I decided I was playing a character from a Greek tragedy early on, so I had him go insane trying to break out of the setting then eventually return home and murder the entire Senate of the transdimensional Roman Republic, including two of the three Triumvirates.

He was eventually banished to Hell for his crimes by the remaining Triumvirate. Last anyone saw of him as the portal closed was his unconscious form being descended upon by an army of demons. I like to think that he murdered every last one of them with his bare hands, then proceeded to win himself a Duchy in hell.

>>7282138
>>In terms of numbers, what's the biggest amount your character has ever slain?
D&D? A few dozen.
Exalted? A few thousand.
Rogue Trader? Hundreds of thousands.
It's not a very useful question.

In a single fight? 51 confirmed KIA, 37 Wounded, 3 attack helicopters, 12 armored civilian vehicles, and one APC.

This was against a Humanis Policlub terrorist cell as a Rigger in Shadowrun, running gun-battle between my fleet of drones and the Policlub dickheads lasted about 40 minutes in-game.

In Shadowrun, my runner took out the entire security detatchment for a fairly sizable corp facility once, maybe twenty guys. One at a time, even. Stealth-oriented mages good with automatic weapons are deadly as all hell. Admittedly, it was a hacking center and not, say, an armory.

In 3.5, my sorcerer provided artillery support in mass combat. There was a lot of fire, and a lot of people died. I don't think exact numbers were ever given.

I was level 14 and i found a cave full of trogs in a dungeon.

DM told me to make a "Violence" check.

I think i killed 20-30 of the little bastards.

This is nothing compared to our half orc barbarian/frenzied breserker. He has taken down... lets see... 13-15 whatsits in one turn.

>>7282726
>Palladium
>Now our group has the inside joke of "What's the critical hit rating of a smurf?"

>Palladium
>What's the critical hit rating of a smurf?"

>Palladium
>critical hit rating

You are doing it wrong. Palladium HAS no such thing. I don't believe you.

>>7282775

It was our first time playing the system, so we were spouting off random stuff from other games. Alcohol was also involved, which could explain pretty much anything.

>>7282726
Reminds me of the time i got to ask the DM "Whats the crit range on a flaming human cadaver?"

Good times...

Level 7 Neutral Evil halfling psion.

We were in the middle of a wartime situation, fighting for a group of people I didn't like against another group of people that I liked even less. The former was holed up inside of a castle and was depending on our help to get them out of trouble. The latter had golems and giants on their side. Before the fight broke out, I had managed to orchestrate a series of shady financial deals with kobolds to amass a collection of ditherbombs. The other players were busy setting up better fortifications and making the place more defense-oriented to care about what I was doing, especially since I appeared to be giving orders to servants to deliver the ditherbombs on a very strict time schedule.

When the fight actually broke out, I got out into the thick of it and waited, tossing out a few minor powers here and there so I looked busy. And then a golem lined up with a giant. I went absolutely batshit insane on my power point expenditure for an Energy Push power and sent the golem flying into the giant.

Which hit another giant. Which hit the castle wall. Which collapsed on a very unfortunate servant that was delivering a backpack full of ditherbombs. Which exploded. Which set off the ditherbombs that were set up on the castle walls. Which eventually knocked down a wall to land on another servant with a backpack full of ditherbombs. Which exploded. Which brought down part of the palace that the royals were hiding in. Which is where I kept the carts that contained the remainder of the ditherbombs. Which exploded. Which brought down the rest of the castle on top of the entire royal family.

Direct death toll wasn't particularly impressive, but the lack of influential royalty caused the economy in the kingdom and the surrounding monarchies to crash, leading to starvation and excessive taxing, which led to open revolt, which led to even more death.

All because of one Energy Push.

>>7282158

Call of Cthulhu. Proving, once again, that reading is FUN-damental!

>>7282845
Okay that was pretty cool.

150 12th level dwarf barbarians as a 13th level psion.

Also, Great Wyrm Red Dragon, Ancient Gold Dragon, same fight.

Ah, memories.

>>7282845
>>7283025
I'm starting to get the idea why psions are frowned upon.

>>7282758

>> twenty guns

>> "How many guns Rogue 3?" "Say about twenty guns, some on the surface, some on the towers."

GURPS modern/fantasy, featuring conspiracies of supernatural powers behind everday life.
Took out 4 cars full of goons, a helicopter, a dragon, a medusa, a small army of robots, and a couple of dozen special forces.

>>7283030

The Gold and Red Dragons were through scrolls. We tricked the red dragon into taking hold of a Trap the Soul gem I had prepared before hand, as we knew his name and I had done some research. (My character has 35 INT for a reason.)

The Barbarians, well, Flying + Maximised Ref Save Spells + Barbarians = Lots of Corpses.

The Gold Dragon was fun. I think we combined Metamorphosis and Expansion to get a fighter collosal sized and then hit it with something.

Technically the fighter killed it.

I killed a few hundred people, including the President, with a nuclear device on an oil rig.

Fallout counts, right?

>>7282138
10,000,000 people.
Now as you may know, water plants are needed so we don't DIE when the water goes toxic. Now because I was supposed to simply plant a toxin in the water to cause the plant to work overtime. I rolled a natural 20, and the toxin was too strong, breaking through the filters, and killing millions. Of course, the official cause was a new form of dysentery, but no one knows that I was the jerk who killed an entire city-state, leading to our glorious victory thanks to sick troops.

Poisoned a capital city water supply as a level 5 NE rogue, killing thousands.

>>7283088
What fucking metroplex was this? And what was the mortality rate of the toxin? 100% or so? At what concentration?!?

tl'dr unless you dumped a trainload of toxin into the plant, I doubt you'd kill that many people.

>>7283091
>>7283088
water death mind

>>7283080

As to consequences, well, We made about 2 million GP and got a castle out of it, also lots of honor + glory.

Because the things we killed were (mostly) Chaotic Evil.

My Elven psion character is also Chaotic Evil.

Just. As. Planned.

>>7282138
Over 1 Billion.. I used Sphere of Ultimate Annihilation while in the underground tunnels under a city... apparently some of those walls were load bearing. Thank god for Contingent Teleports...

HARD MODE: Level 18 fighter, weapon specialization with unarmed. I took out over 1000s in a single battle. Why? Cause Shadow Skill is Awesome.

>>7283105
It was a megacity, pop... 100 million, but my deaths were I'd say 1 million tops, the 10 million was due to the invading army which invaded and slaughtered that many in the chaos. Toxin was apparently some SUPER VIRUS which was 99% effective, yay DM who is a dick. I dumped like... 5000 ppm, so half the mission was escorting this huge truck of the stuff, and setting it up so we wouldn't be looked at when we linked up a truck full of toxins to the water supply.

In a Star Wars RPG game I playted the guy who pushes the button that fires the Death Star.

So, roughly 6-10 billion.

On a related note, how would one go about performing an epic battle, say, where each player has their own regiment of an army?
I'm thinking similar to the related pic.

5,021 dead, 3,569 wounded. This occured in a Sailor Moon game of all things when Sailor Mars was kidnapped and brainwashed by the Dark Kingdom, resulting in her burning down most of Juuban.

It all got undone by Silver Crystal hax, so sadly the world did not get to live in fear of her fiery wrath.

Halfling psion here. I did nothing that a wizard couldn't do with an equal amount of planning.

That is all.

>>7282138
Bloody path. 21 men from another mercenary army while we were fighting in a kingdom's civil war. Became semi-infamous and certain towns and villages wouldnt have anything to do with us after.

Let's see... there was the dwarf cleric who avoided the roper and went slogging through Derro - killed them in one hit because of +12 damage, they could only hit me on a nat 20 because of 28 AC. Five rounds into it, I had killed thirteen of them and they just ran.

I had a level five battle sorceror half-ork that my DM wouldn't even let me play out the combat against these 30 or so small-sized outsiders after I cast Enlarge and Bull's Strength on myself, then Rage'd, with my Keen Falchion. I got mind controlled by this moderately evil Astral being . . . long story short, I got killed by a freakin' laser.

DnD, was aided by magic certainly but wasn't a magic user per say. Me and my bros held a planar rift for like a day. It was a sort of endurance challenge since the actually monsters didn't pose that much of a threat. Every now and then we'd get something really nasty which got to be more and more of a bitch as we burned through our abilities and healing. Only one of us made it out alive. I think the kill count was like 700 something

In our DH game, we were exploring a hive city infested with Nurgle-zombies. The Grey Knights were on their way, and approximately five days out.
However, when we discovered a group of fifty or so people hiding out in an Arbite precinct, the decision fell to my Lieutenant Guardsman as per what to do.
His decision?
"Hole up and wait here. Relief will be along in five days or so."
And we left.

So yeah, about sixty counting an Inquisitor.

Dark Heresy Game, techpriest, lucky grenade. I killed an entire crowd of people, ranging from families to Santa Claus.

Biggest haul ever.

DH, I burned 200 cultists and the building they were in.

What system?

Exalted record: 5,000 mortals in one battle, 70,000 fae over a period of two eternities. Anklok Dragon King, 8 points of mutations from Wyld exposure.

Second Edition DnD record:
--Ravenloft game: 50 paladins and three party members in one round, became a domain lord in one night, but used magic.
--Generic DnD: Fighter killed 138 warriors of various races in one battle.

3.5: with magic weapon but no other supernatural assistance, my 2-weapon fighter tallies 55 in one dungeon crawl. (I'm assuming a full-grown adult White Dragon counts as 1). Without magic weapons, my record stands at 43 for a half-orc barbarian.

WHFRP: uncertain, but somewhere between 200 and 500 in the last session of the game. Class; Soldier}Veteran, 2 advances away from Champion when the GM flaked out on us. In a castle overrun with cultists masquerading as legitimate servants of the Baron (actually a vampire who cut a deal with the cultists), my half of the party had infiltrated the castle's underworks and was slowly making its way upward, killing as we went. The other half had rallied the townsfolk and were seiging the castle, led by a knight of Morr. My party gets pinned down in one section when I notice that the room behind the defenders was the powder room. Over a hundred barrels of warpstone-dust-laced gunpowder. I had three wounds left and one shot left for my rifle, so I said 'screw it', and fired. By the twin graces of Sigmar and Ulrik, I survived, as did all my party, though the priest of Sigmar never regained consciousness, and the ensuing shockwave gutted most of the castle. Piotr of Wolfensburg, and his drinking buddy Father Humble, shall live on in legends for centuries to come.

2. Have them screw up royally
3. Kill 3 billions people
4. ???
5. Profit!

>>7283889
Hang on, I dont get it.

Did you kill them through negligence? What?

>>7284242
My guess... The bunkers housed the control for nuclear missile silos.

They goof off, 'accidentally' target parts of China and Russia, and launch nukes. Russia and China counter-launch their nukes as according to the MAD Treaty. MAD = Mutually Assured Destruction, fyi.

Cue entire planet being reduced to cinders.

>>7284242

OH! I had just glanced at the number of the post you were linking, I didn't actually click it. Now I see.

My guess? Grey Knights came in, purged everything and everyone. Asked no questions. If it moved planetside, it got purged.

That or since they were holed up, they eventually got overran by the zeds and were killed. Whereas if they had went with the Acolytes....

>>7284369
MORAL OF THE STORY: No place is safe. Only safer.

katamari of annialation launched into the BEG's castle. Got about a hundred doods in about 20 min.

AD&D. Level 1 dwarf fighter/cleric multiclass (my PC) and level 1 gnome illusionist.

First, about 200+ kobold warriors, after hiring a thief NPC's help. They were in 5 rival camps, and the gnome had Disguise Self on his spell list. I had Corrupt Water. We made delivered a bottle of "Elven Wine" allegedly from another camp, and then once the one leader tried out the putrid water we hightailed it over to two of the other camps and told them about the rumble going down. Then we helped incite things from the sidelines to lethal levels. The few kobolds who escaped weren't enough to cause any problems. Then we heard where they'd come from, a cave to the west. So my dwarf uses his reward money to buy several donkeys and large carts, and as much firewood and pitch as he could carry, which was very substantial. Plus a shovel, and we'd captured a bunch of javelins from the kobold camp.

We waited to pull up to the cave until the middle of the day, then I sent the gnome up top of the cave to plug up any holes in the rock, while I dug a large trench around the cave entrance to either side of where the woodpile would go. And filled it with the captured javelins, their tips smothered in donkey dung. With a huge amount of pitch soaked firewood piled up at the front, we were ready. I lit up the pile, and we piled up dirt in front of the wagons as cover while we waited with our few ranged weapons, occasionally leaving cover to pile more firewood. The thermobaric effect sucked the air right out of the cave, and short of a brief moment of worry where an ogre came running out of the cave, into the spiked trench, and out of it (and a successful Command spell sent him fleeing BACK into the trench), and several dozen gasping kobolds made their attempt to escape, but were shot down or spiked, we exterminated with impunity.

>>7284491

About 400 kobolds, an ogre, and an ogre mage were the final count. We didn't get all the bounty for the kobold ears, though. "Some of these are from CHILDREN," my ass.

Once we hit level 2, we were unstoppable. Especially when we added the tiny golem as the Wizard's familiar, and then turned him into the amazing anklebiting ninja assassin.

Our Paladin in Pathfinder tried to hold a Lastwall outpost against an inexorable tide of orcs by himself while the rest of the defenders fled. 49 rounds, which by my reckoning is just under five minutes of killing before they pulled him down. Brave bastard bought us time to get everyone over the fire-pits.

anklebiting assassin?

Bump

In one-on-horde, Fantasy: 30 or so goblins and bugbears. A town was raided when he party was resupplying and we ended up splitting up to try and protect as many people as possible. Resulted in half the group dieing.

One vs Horde, Modern( 1950's anyway): 24 cultist armed with knives, axes and parasitic/symbolic creatures that pump them full of painkillers and steroids. My ex-solder had a M1A1 Thompson, a bundle of TNT and a NCO sword he took off a dead Jap when he was at Okinawa. Ended up reciting Invictus and lighting a 5 second fuse on the TNT right before they swarmed him.

One and spaceship vs Horde (Sci-Fi). 200,000 military, estimated 2.7 million civilian. My plucky space captain used a dozen mid yield (80kt) atomic bombs to knock out a hostile military base, shipyard, and the nearby city as collateral damage.

>>7284524
We'd discovered a line of 6 inch clay golems who would go to a little portal that opened up and dropped out a small box, then they'd carry it to a room, and after passing through a doorway both would grow and they'd stack the box. When we opened up a box, it would poof into a cloud of dust and the golem would go back for a new one. When the box was enlarged, it carried a massive amount of unknown dust. The golems were very particular about this dust and ensured every speck was regathered if we upset a box.

Well, we killed the gang members guarding the place, with the notable event of the gnome making a great illusion of an enormous 30 foot long crocodile known to live in the sewers (we saw the thing, it was a beast) to draw the guards' attacks, and then walking up and waving his hand, causing the illusion to explode. The remaining guard was more than happy to surrender.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't know what the dust was, and in our experimentation to find out we tried seeing what happened if he ingested it. Too bad for him the golems saw. We didn't really mean for him to have such a painful end, but they got every last speck of dust.

(cont.)

I accidently caused a global war which resulted in the horrific death of millions.

My friends will never let me forget it :(

>>7284654

Among the loot we'd get from the guards was a shortsword of Wounding, which was not useful to my axe-specialized fighter or to the wizard.

We dump over a bunch of boxes of dust, and in the confusion depart with several pouches of it for a more powerful wizard to examine. But he's gone for the night, so we hit the inn. And then I get woken up.

Well, it was a tiny clay golem that followed us, climbed on top of me, and was making off with the dust bag. So we nabbed him and brought him with us. And by the end of the encounter the wizard has a cool new familiar.

We're going to try and get a prisoner out of jail (who we put INTO jail) as our next self-appointed quest, so the wizard decides first we're going to go in style. We visit a tailor and he gets his new familiar a tiny pimp outfit made. We go into the jail and talk to the guy, then determine the best way to free him is to sneak the keys away. The tiny familiar seems to be the best way to do this, but the wizard decides that first he's going to get him a tiny ninja outfit. We do that, and then we give him a dagger, and send him inside. He scoots in, "sword" arced over his head, and comes back out with the keys.

>>7284730
Another time, we're trying to get past a barred gate, and toss the little golem up and over. We hear several thunks against the door, and finally the bar across is lifted and dropped onto the ground, and we can open the door. There's the golem, in his ninja costume, arms crossed, standing on his tiny sword which is sticking out of the door.

So we've deemed this little golem awesome enough to warrant upgrading. We end up getting the shortsword of Wounding shrunk to his size at some decent expense. He hits for a mere point or two of damage. But thanks to the sword's magic, he's now able to inflict a point of bleeding damage that repeats every turn (essentially a Damage over Time of 1 HP each turn, but it stacks with each hit). Since we don't want him getting smashed, his battle strategy is to dash in, hit, and then run away from stomping feet. He's hitting every other round at most, but the little bit of damage actually proved to be decisive on an occasion or two.

He was the best little anklebiting ninja golem around.

>>7282138

My Ork Warboss leading a mob of regular slugga boys (30) charged into a squad of thunder hammer terminators and was flanked by an inquisitor Warboss and the Nob with their power Klaws wiped out the terminators as the regular boys were cut down. Then they gang banged the inquisitor.

>>7284869
Thanks, and there was no kawaii involved. We were sticking to western oriented fantasy, barring the ninja outfit. We just enjoyed playing by rule of cool.

Pulling up my character notes, my dwarf's god was Sankis. (We're all Dorf Fortress players, so it was alright.) Here's what I went by for him:

Senkis, god of dwarves
Senkis hates: mandrils, elephants, carp, elves, kobolds, goblins, and yeah any non-dwarves to some extent
Senkis loves: fuck yeah dwarven supremacy, plenty of righteous destruction, magma, feats of awesome

His granted power was letting me ignite my beard with holy fire in battle. Worked like actual fire but didn't consume the beard. I killed at least one enemy by grabbing their head and holding it inside the beard flames.

>>7283280
Not bullshit at all. You'd be amazed at what you can do with a little ingenuity using simple cantrips, greek fire (LOTS of greek fire, aka Alchemical Fire), ropes, and a proper treeline. There's a reason most good old-edition players can do things like that: we HAD to to get to second and third level as mages.

50 is my record, but (as I tend to play only clerics and mages) I've similarly recorded handfuls of 10's, 20's, and a couple of 30's with similar tactics. You just have to use your environment to your advantage.

lol. And people wonder why things like 'ventriloquism' were skills available in the earlier editions.

In an alternative-history Star Wars campaign I destroyed fifteen docked and fully staffed Imperial Interdictor Cruisers and the yard they were docked in with two nearly-relativistic asteroids.

The death toll was somewhere around a hundred thousand in Imperial personnel plus ten thousand civilians and a few thousand rebel prisoners.

I was infamous before that, as I had captured several capital ships and cargo freighters full of Imperial and Rebel cutting-edge technology.

I was caught in the end by the rebels leaking the information to the Imps about my course and getting ambushed by two interdictors and ten ISDs spearheaded by The Executor.

Even in my death I wreaked havoc on both sides with planet-buster scale bombs I had hidden on some of the key planets of the far far away galaxy a long long time ago.

The chaos resulting from my death destroyed any accurate information from spreading around, resulting in several manhunts conducted across the galaxy whenever someone thought they'd seen me.

As the GM said, the new dark age I had caused would bring untold and incalculable misery and death to the galaxy, part of which was caused by all the force-sensitives going insane from the feedback of exadeath.

But hey! Anything to be remembered tens of millennia after my death!

>>7285457
How did you manage to pull all that off?

>>7285851
gave GM handjob

>>7285851
By obeying the rules of being an Evil Overlord and playing a two-faced psychotic bastard.

I kept the rest of the group thinking that all my machinations were for the good of the rebel alliance, as they were playing rebel commandos, pilots and one low-power Jedi.

The planet-busters were networked into a kind of dead-man-switch configuration that I had paid a few died-soon-very-rich slicers to build.

The other players managed to have two sessions after my death before the whole thing went off. The first clue they had was when the group Jedi suddenly clawed her eyes out and trepanated herself with her lightsaber.

The whole two-year campaign I had been secreting away funds, playing the stock-markets with my knowledge of soon-to-happen raids.

The planet-busters were actually some powercores meant for some or other imp superweapon and getting a hold of them and planting them without the rest of the party knowing, or there being risk of the devices being found, took me a real-world month to plan and set up.

In the end I was rich enough, through front companies, to have bought half of Coruscant and a hefty percentage of the Imperial Navy.

And the whole thing started, when I commandeered my first Imperial capital-ship by killing everyone on board by opening each and every hatch and safety-field. My character was prone to violence and bouts of rage and madness before, but when he got demoted for such an act of butchery, or in his mind, a brilliant coup, he went over the edge.

A couple of my friends still carry a grudge, ten years after that campaign.

>>7285851
If you meant How I did it Gamemaster-wise, his longer campaigns were always pretty open. I'd compare them to playing Elite or F:FE, with an open world, with a lot of story hooks, random events and GM-sanctioned stuff happening.

Example: in one other campaign, one player became the Knight-General of the Dark Emperor, while another became the owner of a continent-wide chain of brothels, in which she was also an enthusiastic customer.

In another game, the group was supposed to help a backward people fight the small, rampaging army of wakened ancient warmachines, instead we burned the capital to the ground, claimed that the warmachines had used napalm on them, and we used this to rally the surrounding armies to our flag, beat the menace and, being the local saviors, became the lords and ladies of the region. The capital had some fifteen thousand people, so that'd be around 3000 kills for each one in the party.

Yeah, that GM was never very much into moralism.

Yes, this deserves saving.

>>7287538
Most awesome were the reactions from the rest of the group.

Genuine hatred, shock and disgust at what I had done to the universe they'd grown to love...

I just had a talk with the GM from that time. He told me he's using that blasted universe in a new campaign with another group. The way he described it, it's like Fallout2 on a galactic scale, with plenty of single- and multisystem governments. Wars fought with archaic, even STL-technology, with some few places of high technology, usually getting raided by fleets of barbaric wanderers.

Gotta see if he'd be willing to let me play online.

Uh, well... had a typical Lion Totem Whirling Frenzy Barbarian\Frenzied Berserker\etc. Supreme Cleave kept me moving and after awhile the DM just stopped making me roll, pulled out a few d100s and rolled them to determine how many Drow I just slaughtered.

Was enough to collapse the flank of a sixty-thousand strong army. Not out of raw cassualties but from making them shit their pants at me -- also some massive Intimidate check bonuses went in my favor.

Was fucking awesome.

My just-barely-rank-2 Guardsman, in a party with a rank 3 psyker as the only other character, entered a room with four slaaneshi cultists 'up' on combat drugs, and each armed with a 'mini harlequin's kiss'.

They paired off, two against each of us in melee, and my Guardsman killed the two he was fighting, and then went to help the psyker. 3/4 kills, and an encounter that was supposed to rape us to death if we fought in melee.

8 Necron Warriors, one tomb spyder, 1 Pariah. All with a bolter at the start of rank 4. I felt hardcore.

Psyker player here; that was awesome, but hardly our crowning achievement.

The next campaign ended up with us versus an entire town of Genestealer cultists (including the Patriarch and several Purestrains). We were accompanied by four redshirt Guardsmen at the time, who we expected to get horribly raped. We holed up in a church and barricaded the doors, with one guy posted at the entrance of the church's basement in case the 'Stealers tried to flank us. We threw a firebomb at the Patriarch, roasting his guards and damaging him. When the Patriarch came up, I blew his head off with a Hellpistol.

Two Guardsmen were up in the church tower, sniping, while everyone else were in the main church hall, emptying shotgun shells and lasbolts into any 'Stealers stupid enough to come close to us. Eventually our evac support arrived; by the time they did, we had basically depopulated the village.

The cherry on top? Every single redshirt survived. We named them Tycho, Gabe, Irving, and Felipe. I assume their deaths will be rather more spectacular now that they've got names.

>>7294755
Whoop! Missed the 'pure numbers' part.

The same party of two (500XP and 1000XP, respectively.) plus four red-shirt bodyguards took out an entire village-sized genestealer cult. Patriarch, four purestrains, dozen or so hybrids, and 36-ish cultists. No casualties. Was glorious. GM was a little upset.

Forgot pic. Here's my character. Yes, he's a douche.

My goblin burned down a whole castle once. Don't know how many died, but I know of at least 3 guards, since I set them on fire first, and the fire sort of spread from there.

Well, one of my players just stopped another player from building down a building with the town's dungeon underneath it. Had the Monk not stopped the cleric, the cleric would have had 3 dead Orc kill marks.

And five hundred dead humans.

Well in this one campaign we began with a murder mystery that after a while developed in to a conspiracy of a cult of some ancient demi-god trying to destroy the city by destroying the damn, causing a flood. To make it short, pcs won but my human rogue pushed the red button anyhow as I laughed maniacally. Suddenly my fellow pcs start bitching that I can't do that since we're supposed to be the good guys. I show them my sheet "Chaotic Evil". The only reason they didn't know because I played my char smart(he has int 16 yaknow) so he commits horrible stuff behind their backs until something good comes along. That city had like what, 10-30 thousand inhabitants? It felt a bit empty since it's a number.

"Missed me? Tought so. It's not easy to stay hidden for galactical millenia. Even if you are the new god of death and destruction...Gotta love escape pods. These machines that pump midi-chlorians into my body so that I could amuse myself with watching your petty struggle for survival are awesome. And to think I hated cyborgs."

No, actually I was thinking of making a new, normal guy-character, especially since the jedi and the sith in that universe are no longer. Anyone that gains force sensitivity is rendered insane by the chaotic situation in the galaxy. After that they either kill themselves or are killed soon because of the havoc they unleash.

Might be interesting to become a combat-tech-archeologist, seeking ancient sites for abandoned technology, and hoping it still works, twenty or thirty thousand years exposed to hard vacuum and radiation is probably not the safest place for high tech to be preserved in.

That's horrible!

>>7297757
But it would be awesome to return as the new BBEG wouldn't it?

>>7297775
Yeah it would, but as soon as I broached the notion of returning, the GM told me, in no uncertain terms, that that would be fucking out of the question, since I'd been thoroughly blasted to subatomic plasma by a concentrated blast from over one thousand turbolasers and then said plasma had been punched, with the G-well generators, to expand out of the galaxy at speed of 0.45c.

Now that I think about it, I came up with a possible way to circumvent that.

Some of the expanded universe books have mentioned exceptional non-force-sensitives becoming force ghosts.

Maybe I'll suggest to the GM that my old character come back as some sort of galaxy-spanning evil presence bent on keeping the galaxy in a state of chaos, as that chaos is the power feeding the entity.

Maybe the old character could come back as a Randall Flagg-like manifestation, an avatar if you will, of the Dark God of The Force?

I can see it in my mind now; a shadowy figure whispering in the ears of the powerful, helping some, leading some to destruction, keeping a balance of chaos in the galaxy.

Hmm. Even if he won't allow me to play, I'll send this to him in case he wants to use it.

Place where you died becomes the warp.

>>7297883
When someone plays old holo-records that have him...Well...Shit happens.

>>7297883
Intergalactic aura of menace.

And no, his games were based mostly on the "real" Star Wars, New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, before teddybears, Darth Emo and Faggy the Frog jizzed all over the franchise.

In that gameworld, Midichlorians NEVER WERE, the battle of Endor never happened, the moon of Endor was famous for it's exports of wood and furs. Actually if I remember it right, my old character made his first slight fortune from trapping and skinning ewoks. Just enough to get a little gear and a ticket out of the backwater sector.

Sorry I've made this "An oldfag keeps yammering of old days of glory"-thread.

Four thousand, give or take a few hundred.

He was really good at dodging bullets.
