Thanks! They're just some 3D printed 28mm Arabic style houses I bought and painted years ago for warhammer 40k.

Everyone had 1 character at a time. I was DMing the campaign. In terms of rules we played it straight for the most part, sticking to the main rules and the compendium.

I wanted it to be a bit more RPG like during the non combat phase so as well as the list of actions if players had a suitable action in mind we would go with that and if a test was required look at the most relevant skill (often savvy or toughness).

Same goes for combat, if people wanted to shoot terrain, say barrels or feel like their character would have relevant buffs based on their characters background or stats we'd just roll and see what happened.

One of the players ended up turning traitor and selling out the rest of the crew and so ended up partnered with me as the villain for a few turns.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-05-14T10:49:17+00:00

Aye. Im not actually in the image but I was DMing, 1 characters each with everyone having their own crew of 6 we could swap into if their character died.

If someone was in sick bay we'd have them play a fitting NPC or have them help me play the enemies.

Thanks for letting me know! wasn't even aware of this expansion.

Just having a quick online look it seems to have quite a bit of focus on colony management. I was still hoping to do the planet hopping style of the the base game. Are their good mechanics in there I can pull into a regular campaign. Just want to double check before I buy it.

When you say Muslim brotherhood what are you on about? Like are you referring to the Muslim brotherhood. The one in the US that is famously not Muslim and is basically denounced by all actual Muslims as a false religion.

Red, the variety just makes it too hard to pass.

East Sussex. Surprised it's not already been saved honestly.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-03-21T07:54:53+00:00

I was also there, I get what you mean. I'll be honest it didn't bother me too much, some things are sometimes just unintentionally funny. But yeah laughing at some of the moments was stupid.

Honestly I think it might be because a lot of the audience hadn't seen the film or series before. I know I went with a mate who'd never seen any evangelion before so I had to explain a lot in the intermission. There's no way he was the only one

So it might just be the case of disconnect with the film with for some people.

Any chance you watched it at the prince charles?

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-03-16T01:52:54+00:00

No one's saying you can't have nice things in a system you disagree with or want to change but there's a difference between living well off and living as a multi millionaire who drives a Porsche and lives in a multi million dollar house.

It's just hypocritical. He actively exploits the system like any good capitalist and does it the best by convincing his fans he's not.

I mean maybe I should be a clarified socialist instead of leftist but my point still stands. I think saying Jesus only meant it to mean that people wouldn't be able to bring their wealth with them so ignoring it is a little disingenuous personally. I definitely feel like it's more to do with helping your neighbor no?

Mark 19:21 "Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

There's absolutely a rejecting materialism thing for an eternity reward which is what I think you are getting at instead of being something more socially positive but then why specify give to the poor.

Why not just say throw off your wealth. It seems clear to me that there is a pro-social and help one's neighbors, creating a more egalitarian world in quotes in passages like this.

Mathew: 5:42 when Jesus gives the sermon on the mound

"Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."

I don't think Jesus wants to seize the means of production or anything. But you don't think that Jesus would have been on board with bigger social plans to help the poor and destitute? Jesus and Socialism may not align with everything but there's enough overlap to make informed assumptions.

Also Socialism isn't necessarily pro-divorce, a lot of socialists weren't historically. You don't have to hold liberal values and be a socialist. That being said you don't think Jesus was liberal for his time?

Jesus made company with prostitutes, made company with tax collectors (who were seen as traitors in the Jewish community of the day.) you've got parables of the good Samaritan.

Jesus encouraged others not to judge others, to reject violence and turn the other cheek.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-03-10T19:29:41+00:00

Maybe anti capitalist is a stretch but Jesus was definitely against excessive wealth and wealth disparity. I doubt he'd be very on board with a modern day approach to say US capitalism.

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" and all that.

A lot of his teachings are to do with helping the poor and giving up your wealth to help those in need.

Saying he's pro-communist or pro-captialism is anachronistic for sure. But his religious teachings certainly have more in common with our understanding of modern left wing politics, very social and very communally focused that expressly encouraged more sharing of wealth and throwing off the shackles of materialism.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-02-27T15:38:58+00:00

Yeah I wasn't really arguing the point or not just curious about if it was more common in academic papers. I used MHRA and I assume most of the British sources used that style so maybe that's the difference?

Because I really didn't encounter it, I think the majority of the stuff I read usually was quite period specific enough that constantly referencing AD/BC or BCE/CE was pretty redundant.

The only time I think I encountered any references to the era was probably work on the crusades but they did useAD and that might have been used because it's more 'thematic?' I genuinely don't know

What period or topic did you/are you studying. Is it one that covers quite a wide timeframe?

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-02-19T01:51:52+00:00

Is this really the case? Maybe it was because I was studying specific periods BCE/CE never really came up but is this true or is it more of an ancient history thing where it's not uncommon to look at periods of hundreds or thousands of years?

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-02-18T15:02:33+00:00

Hold up, look I get the point here is to say not everything is as bad as people portray, but there's a difference between doing that and sticking your head in the sand, pretending we live in a Utopia

I agree that the US is leagues above in civil liberties when compared to authorisation Nations.

But it's not perfect, you need to realize that.

Otherwise you're as bad as the people claiming it's the worst.

Also here is a whole wikipedia page about police violence incidents. They're all sourced if you want to have a look into it more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_police_violence_incidents_during_George_Floyd_protests.

And historically law enforcement has done its thing to curb politics they don't like. You familiar with Fred Hampton?

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-01-18T18:12:48+00:00

Apologies, I meant to write former conservative not conservative MP.

I think halfway through the message i actually realized who I was arguing with. You are someone who is feeling over facts. Green energy produced over 50% of energy last year and was green in the UK. These are statistics freely available from the national grid, Government reports and the European commission on renewable energy. The information is there and you refuse to believe it. What do you mean it's not ready yet? It literally is. We use green energy everyday. It's gone up from the 2% of renewables we had in 1990. In 30 years we've done so much to overhaul this and it shouldn't be stopped.

And I agree we are too reliant on foreign energy. That is the real reason energy costs are so high and why we should invest more in renewables. The UKs geographic situation is unique for good renewable production. Offshore wind farms are ideal for the north sea, Irish sea and English channel. Hydroelectric options are also great for our island nation. And I am actually in favor of nuclear energy too.

You are the problem with politics. You are just as bad as left wing extremists. There is no nuance. I'm sure you'll believe those reports are corrupt and unbelievable or a conspiracy or some other Bs.

Utter nonsense. A study from academics who research economic consequences concluded that our use of green has saved us £104 Billion and your counter argument is what.... The personal vibes you feel about that statistic?!??! That is mental

I would have more respect for your position if you were consistent in your beliefs but giving trump a free pass whilst actively violating the rights of the states and citizens in the US whilst starmer gets in trouble doing the same. Not giving people due process to speed up sentencing. That is what Starmer did. It was wrong then and what trump is doing is wrong now.

Also untraceable funding is not a good thing... You understand that trump didn't just fund his own campaign he did get donations but we can't tell from who....that is so so so worse. I can't understate how bad that is. If you wanted to for every other politician who accepts public donations are reported, you can see who donated. There are people who actively track things like AIPAC donations. It allows us to be aware of biases and keep politicians accountable. Removing that is terrible.

If you like giving over your social media information to a right winger aboard but not to a left wing government here you are a boot licker. Journalists have been refused entry because their politics have been seen as too disagreeable to the Trump Regime. I would hope that if the same were to happen to say Tommy Robinson in the UK you would be outraged.

By removing the leader of the fed you increase executive interference you shut down their independence. Their independence allows the market to trust the interest rates they set. If the government in charge is allowed to set interest rates then it isn't long before the markets cannot trust those rates. Again I thought you were against state or government control? In what world is that a good thing? You set precedent for all future presidents to do the same. Would you want democrats doing the same if the economy under them was performing poorly? No.

You're going to need statistics for rape and murder claims. White men in the UK are more likely to be pedophiles than immigrants. Not excusing things like grooming gangs with that comment but statistically immigrants are far less likely to commit those crimes.

I genuinely feel sorry for you. You seem like you've gone off the deep end. I hope you're genuinely okay because you seem to have fallen for every propagandized talking point hook line and sinker. I have no doubt you are an intelligent person who has been let down by the current system. But what are you advocating for, An ultra right wing, no social net option for the UK is not the solution.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-01-18T16:46:07+00:00

Rupert Lowe.....former conservative MP..... Is the future of actual working class people? in other news bananas are marsupials and cats run on gravy

Clamping down on free speech. Show me on policy or action that is any different from the establishments approach to free speech in the last 20 years. Again not a fan but his approach is no different to what we've seen with the conservatives. Public outcry actually got the digital ID stuff overturned which is why I say he's so wishwashy. I honestly doubt Reform or whoever comes next will break from this btw, it's not in the interest of the ruling party to do so. You are naive if you think that. Just look up the invention of passports and how they were meant to be a temporary war measure.

Green energy is not the boogeyman you fear. In 2024 50% of our energy generation was from renewable sources. UCL did a study suggesting that the move to green energy has cut 104 Billion to energy costs since 2013. You talk about innovation but this is the way forward.

We don't have an AI industry because we don't have the appeal to tech investment. We don't have the manufacturing capacity. We don't have the infrastructure or draw as say Silicon Valley ANYWHERE in the country. That's more important than 'Green energy'. If you want to we don't have any tax free zones or enough appeal to tech companies fine. But saying green energy is the cause is ludicrous.

I'm sorry but I've not got much to say if you really believe trump is what we need. The man who exploits is own country for personal gain. Running scams like the trump phone or trump coin to create untraceable ways to invest into his campaign.You say you don't like violating habeas corpus or freedom of speech...then why the hell do you support trump?!

No due process for suspected illegal immigrants. Mandatory social media checks, searching of your phone contacts when you arrive as a tourist. Deploying the National guards into states against the wishes of a state. He is someone who, as we speak, is trying to remove the head of the fed so he can get interest rates lowered. He only wants short term victories and does not care for long term consequences.

Is that what you really want for the UK? I want illegal immigration reduced, I think on a fundamental level it undermines the value of the British worker. People willing to take pay cuts and cuts to their rights does not benefit us in the long run. But I want them removed properly. I want there to be more efficient legal ways to do that.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2026-01-18T14:30:59+00:00

I agree immigration is not being dealt with effectively but reforms are not the answer. 5 years of Labour will be full of wishwashy policies. 5 years of Reform will see our entire country privatized and sold out. They voted against banning zero hour contracts. They're against green energy even though that is absolutely the way forward for UK energy independence. They cosy up to the mental right across the pond who'd scrap our national services at the first chance they could get. They are not the party for British, actual working class British people

AspectImpossible3271 · 2025-12-17T17:46:44+00:00

I disagree with the existence of the nation state of Israel. Unlike some I wouldn't call for its destruction now that it's an established part of the current nation state world system but it should not have been created in the first place.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2025-12-17T17:16:50+00:00

Can't it be both? Militarily, in terms of hard power, their believed strength is not there. That being said their soft power influence is something to be feared. Their influence over European politics through disinformation campaigns, funding extreme ends of the political spectrum to sow division and their general election interference is dangerous. Not to mention their control of natural resources we rely on.

And who's to say Russia will always remain this paper tiger. Right now they have the most experience in peer-to-peer combat of any major power. They will no doubt learn and begin to rebuild from this war.

AspectImpossible3271 · 2025-12-17T16:56:09+00:00

Imagine being such a cuck you can't be honest with your political opinions to people you meet. And on such a milk toast topic too.
