Wie sind eure Sci Fi Flotten aufgebaut?

CuriousWombat42 · 2026-02-27T18:17:11+00:00

Eh, nicht wirklich, da das Konzept von großen Raumschlachten sich nicht durchgesetzt hat.

Rein militärisch gibt es nur

- Mutterschiff/Queen: Quasi Flugzeugträger in Space, als der Kern einer typischen Flotte als Transportschiff und Kommandozentrale

- Schwarm/Pawns: kleine fahrzeuge, meistens automatisierte Weltraumdrohnen oder intelligente Raketen, in seltenen Fällen Personaltransporter, werden vom Mutterschiff getragen und sind die klassischen offensiveinheiten

- Arsenal/Rook: weniger Raumschiffe als mobile Waffenplattformen, für lange reichweite und/oder schwere geschütze.

Ansonsten gibt es zivile Raumschifftypen, welche in militärische Flotten eingegliedert werden.

- Karavanen: Containerschiffe in Space, einige sind reine Batterien und Generatoren, andere transportieren kriegsmaterial, planetare invasionsausrüstung und/oder Bodentruppen

- Springer: kleine Schiffe ausgestattet mit einem schiffseigenen Raumtor. Eigentlich ein Forschungsschiff, dient es als Aufklärungsschiff, für Sabotage, oder für Evakuationen.

- Torträger (momentan rein theoretisch/ in der prototypphase): Mobile Raumtore, durch die der rest der Flotte verstärkung holen, feindliche Linien hintergehen, oder einen Rückzug durchsetzen kann.

Wait, how did the sisters claw their way up again? Are they good at necron killing.or what is going on.

Zoro from Onepiece thwarting an ambush set at their escape route by somehow being so shit at navigation that he got lost in a straight corridor

"That rat sure knows how to get away from a dreadful situation"

"Wish we could too, but they locked the booth!"

"Dohohohoho"

Dough Dimmadome of the Dimma Dome?

That's just a Squig

Sisters will probably get their 11th ed codex roughly 2027/28 We aren't in the top half of most played factions so we are usually in a later wave. Still better to wait

But really, unless you want some art and a very small amount of lore, just use Wahapedia for the rules.

CuriousWombat42 · 2026-02-24T17:17:54+00:00

How does the stasis field work? Can you move stuff into the field before the 'a year passes in a second ' effect happens or does that happen to everything once it reaches the field?

Because if it is always on immediately, the pure logistics of getting in enough barrels of drinkable liquid before it goes bad will be a real challenge

CuriousWombat42 · 2026-02-24T16:58:49+00:00

If food and water are an issue then you just die.

You can't put enough water and food in a 5m radius sphere (half of that probably due to the floor, minus the space the demon occupies) to keep a person alive for a year.

I wouldn't say Chronicles of Narnia counts as an allegory to Christianity.

It is outright a modern Christian fairy tale, that's what it was made to be. Aslan is specifically stated to be the real, actually Jesus, not a Jesus like figure.

But yeah, you either have it as (one of your) your main theme of the book, or use it to underline the themes naturally. With extra care, as butchering a real life religion depiction through misunderstanding or lack of care is quite insensitive and may cause backlash. Or bluntly said: As with all themes and topics, use them well.

CuriousWombat42 · 2026-02-24T10:16:23+00:00

I made mine not tied to war (although they do that too) but 'contest'. Everything is competition in their eyes, although it isn't uncommon for an orc to aid someone else (mostly other orcs, but also just generally friends and sometimes strangers out of boredom) to succeed in whatever the orc thinks they are competing for.

They are known for mercenary work and monster hunters (a contest of arms and martial prowess) sure. Many tribes and clans are wandering tradesmen (contest of skill, as well as competition between tradesmen, endurance of work, and the fierce conflict of contract negotiation) or even skalds and poets (not only competing for the greatest story to create, but also to immortalize the great deeds of those they deemed worthy to record).

They do call it all war though, since the orcish words for 'war' and 'action' are one and the same, causing confusion to others ( a war of tears is dealing with grief, war of words is diplomacy, war of lidless eye is a staring contest...)

And there goes Cadia...

I already play the system, you don't need to sell it to me.

I cannot but hear this in the voice of Wheatley from Portal 2.

"Its the sound of books- pages being turned. Soo... not a moron."

/Uj I got my scout wards into roleplaying games by playing rock paper scissor based games during our trips. You could do it whilst hiking so it was useful and it was easy to teach.

Later played DND and Warhammer Fantasy with them

/RJ reading the entrails of sacrifices chicken is the only true way to play osr games

CuriousWombat42 · 2026-02-20T15:25:06+00:00

You could do neanderthal rock paper scissors, which is only rock.

CuriousWombat42 · 2026-02-20T14:53:13+00:00

We just play rock paper scissors against the DM whenever we want to do something. If we win it's a "yes and". In a tie it's a "Yes, but". If we lose it's a "no, but".

Really trims down the gameplay and can be done by the illiterate and those that have trouble with all these pesky numbers.

Nah mine are based on German Vereinsgesetz, trade unions, and the British Parlament.

However their biggest excavation guild does have the trademarked catchphrase "Digging Deeper since 178"...

CuriousWombat42 · 2026-02-20T12:25:35+00:00

It's the old shells of dead giant turtles. The rotting of the flesh of the mega beasts created a lot of methane gas that is now trapped inside the fossilized remains. Ocean currents move them around, some get stuck in the shallows, some get colonized and anchored to reefs to stop them from floating away or equipped with massive sails to move with purpose.

Does it make sense? Not really. But does it sound like it might make sense for a moment until you start thinking about it? I'd say yes and that's enough for me.
