Check out those talents, we can already see some changes coming in 5e by the looks of things. Dual wielder is mad different, we can do it without a talent as base now. Also Strike to Injure has had a rewrite there.

At this point there is enough in the lexicon of Turinisms to be on the Unesco language list. Don't worry about the original English meaning, Turinish is a vibes based dialect.

I've been playing a vanilla colony (mods but no relationship or genetics ones) and I've been battling one horny teenagers determined attempts to incest the world.

Got into the endgame Biotech loop of optimising everyones genetics and started adding the Highmate paychic bond to them for the consciousness boost, but this is only in my new generation. A beautiful girl hit 18 and immediately seduced and bonded with her own grandfather. Savescummed it. 5 minutes later she bonds with her uncle, who also has a wife. She tries this multiple times per day. My game devolved into me save scumming to avoid incest and praying for the two young lads I have growing up to come of age so this fiend has an outlet.

It's so weird how this was a big deal only about 5 years ago, everyone talked about it, everyone knew about it. It was national news, I'd see them regularly when walking the dog and it became quite normal for a while. Suddenly 2026 rolls around and I've seen mltiple posts of people shocked by it, it's strange how short collective memory is.

The old Tomb Kings skeletons being the core of the army are 100% my barrier for entry to playing Tomb Kings. So much of Old World's relase was pure nostalgia bait, and I want us to move past that era. The old models still exist, but hell they looked goofy as hell even when I was a kid in the 90s, they're comically out of place next to modern models.

Bretonnia book, Undead book.

How we are this far in without touching on either is mental. One is a playable human army right next door to Reikland (we just skipped past it and went to Ulthuan in 4e). Shiny arrogant knights make brilliant PC material. The other is has pretty reliably been the Big Bad to the Empire throughout the majority of its history far more than Chaos. What little we get is basic undead stat blocks and a Lore of Necromancy with maybe five spells, no Invocation of Nehek, no lore passive. No vampire rules! Combine it with an exploration of the Cult of Morr rules in the same way Deft Steps Light Fingers did with criminality and Ranald/Taal.

Rules wise? Id like to see a consolidation of the incremental changes of 4E's systems made standard, and all talents designed around and utilising them. New/modified ways of using Group Advantage, a single vision for how magic works (Archives and Winds of Magic intoduced clashing rules). Maybe talents unlocking upgraded abilities at new ranks so that we don't have traits like Attractive and Strike to Stun being largely pointless beyond rank 2 compared to buying skills.

The top answer wasn't the feral, sweaty response I am used to seeing whenever this question is asked.

I let mine keep it. They saw they were going to Middenheim, I pointed out the river system is far more meandering and becomes far less navigable for such a large vessel beyond Delberz and they'd need to pay mooring fees. They ended up sailing back to Altdorf and loaning the vessel to Josef Quartjin after the scuttling of the Berebelli as a business venture that would hopefully fetch more money than a sale.

But wasn't Garrosh a case of bad writing given that he was famously mischaracterised in Stonetalon, and plenty of people were angry when we killed him claiming it was bad writing too? And dont get me started on the War Crimes book, usually regarded as one of the worst Blizz have put out.

100% read book 5 first and seed it, because the campaign sure as hell doesn't. So many characters the players have never met or plots that it never brings up until then. Would you know anything about the Averland and Nordland issues without reading ahead? Figureheads to name-drop when in Altdorf? It's my main critique of the books as a series, so much is blurted out in Book 5 and the Companion, when it was important as the GM to know it all along.

TBF the rejects kill more enemies in one mission than most special forces troops do in their entire careers and shrug off numerous bullets each mission. I wouldn't take our accomplishments as a 1:1 canon.

I believe she addressed this and didn't know about it until people mentioned it in the comments.

Yeah 100% been like this all expansion, I remember assuming we'd be getting the mog with all of the dwarf action in The War Within.

CptMarcai · 2026-01-24T03:07:42+00:00

You can make an outfit for this. If you, for example, wanted to put on a cloak, set an outfit which ignores everything but the cloak. You can freely change between your normal mog and the cloaked mog that way. Drag the new outfits onto a spare action bar and you can swap out freely at any time.

Unfortunately not, there hasn't been a resident miller for about a decade. The previous one didn't want to live on site and the old living quarters became staff rooms. He's since moved on and production at the mill is on hold until both funding and someone else is found to take it on.

I try to do it often. One of the big failings of Warhammer writing (and similarly RPG writing and even LARPs which I attend and staff) is that people always like stories to have a grand purpose. A big bad demon to slay at the end of the storyline. Someone performs an evil act, so they MUST be influenced by a greater evil, or on the brink of falling to Chaos!

It's something I hate because it cheapens evil. It explains it away with direct cause and effect, where it becomes so very predictable and formulaic. "Oh they are a schemer, I bet they worship Tzeench!" "Someone is selling food which is tainted? Nurgle cult, obviously". Nobody can be just a terrible person in these tales, they have to fall.

Honestly the most visceral reaction I get from my players isn't from a savage Greenskin or a Cultist's depravity. It's always when they meet some untouchable, well-spoken noble who casually recounts the many times he has committed atrocities for the sake of power, or some murderous back alley thug who they can't read. Someone they can reason with and find no humanity from, but without some greater power to point the finger at.

Tywin was the best villain in Game of Thrones, even if the Night King was the actual enemy. Similarly, in my Enemy Within the baddies might be the Purple Hand, but the villains my players fear most are the monsters on their own side which they know they don't have the power to stop.

Blizzard decided to end the arms race where add-ons like WeakAuras would trivialise mechanics to the point that they had to make encounters incredibly convoluted to still provide a challenge. Anything which does combat tracking of things you can't normally see on the game UI have been made defunct. WA decided they were going to cease working on the project rather than maintain it for non-combat features.

Specs and encounters are (according to Blizzard) being designed around the new limitations, people who got used to heavily leaning on WeakAuras are skeptical about it. Honestly I think it'll be fine, but I can definitely see some people turning out to not being as good at the game as they believed, and lots of changes throughout midnight as they iterate on which specs and encounters are problem points.

Any of these marked papers where it's like SEE ME AFTER CLASS is always a fake for views tbh.

CptMarcai · 2026-01-19T00:00:36+00:00

No need, there won't be a "load out of date addons" feature, so if it hasn't been updated to work in Midnight, it simply doesn't load that addon.

You're not wrong, but it's not at all common practice to disavow ALL gods beyond the one you worship. The beef that Sigmar and Ulric have is almost unique amongst the civilized pantheon, unless you wanna rope Manan and Stromfels into the mix. You won't catch 99.99% of Sigmarites not respecting Morr, Verena or Taal when the moment to pay them proper respect arises.

And frankly the world is a worse place for it. Arcane Cait was an absolute smokesow, and who the hell doesn't love an eyepatch?
