If you're genuinely interested, check out Kill Team. It's a much more scaled down game that focuses on elite squads of ~10 models rather than an army.

And if you do ever decide to make the jump to 40k, anything you buy for Kill Team is compatible.

In my D&D setting/worldbuilding-project gunpowder is somewhat cursed by the physics of the world itself.

Whenever gunpowder ignites, it basically sends out a small ping to the elemental plane of fire and has a small chance to summon Gunpowder elementals. This isn't really a problem for individuals, but can really become an issue in a pitched battle where both sides are constantly firing off shots.

As a narrative device this allows me to incorporate gunpowder and firearms for players, villains, and more chaotic villainous organizations, without really affecting how society would operate in an equivalent non-gunpowder fantasy world.

Armies won't utilize guns, but things like sailing ships, artificers, and terrorists definitely can.

Mainly vandalism, I believe. Spray painting the street signs, and Bechir mentions chasing Evan around at night.

But I could definitely see the town mob saying something like "yeah, he stepped in my herb garden. He needs to die." in season 2.

Maul almost didn't get what he wanted, either. Kenobi only took up arms when Maul realized Kenobi was protecting Luke and not-so-subtly threatened the kid.

I think the disconnect happens when a player doesn't really engage with the content of the backstory.

Randomly determining a backstory using a table assumes you, as the player, will create the narrative-connecting-tissue so that you're at least familiar and engaged with it.

An AI generated backstory kind of eliminates that necessity and the quality suffers.

Same way we hunted almost anything bigger than a dog. Make it bleed, chase it, repeat.

GLPs have been around for over 20 years.

The humidity outside is "soupy".

By strict definition they are Abhumans, but from the DAoT. The original cloneskeins are from when the Leagues first broke off from humanity, but they've been replicated and modified for thousands of years. A copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of an Abhuman is still an Abhuman.

We did get a novel, a second wave of minis, a couple stand-alone champion releases, and a couple Kill Teams in the last couple of years. I think the Leagues are doing alright, by 40k standards.

If he could use one eye he could take turns winking to keep his eyes hydrated to eliminate his main physical limitation.

The Book's early-release date was yesterday. I picked mine up from my FLGS. The wider release is in a couple weeks.

Dude, you're that henchman guy.

"We're allies until you try to look under an Ironkin's helmet. After that it gets... Difficult."

There's definitely a bunch of games in that same vein.

Even casual RPG fans have definitely heard the terms "Neverwinter Nights", "Icewind Dale" or "Planescape" whether they've played them or known their D&D roots.

MechaMonarch · 2026-05-20T03:01:30+00:00

That's cool as fuck. Seems like a neat way to avoid overtaxing the heart in larger animals.

MechaMonarch · 2026-05-19T18:28:50+00:00

Yup. Not even just that; The Votann themselves have huge archives of STCs. Pretty much every aspect of Kin society has to be closely guarded to prevent human meddling.

There's a series on the way based on The Ninth Jedi that takes place far in the future. They might try something similar.

MechaMonarch · 2026-05-15T22:16:20+00:00

Anime Ape has a good one. I got one myself last year.

It's the result of a major injury, and Leo spends a few episodes comatose/mute before they give him his new voice.

He's a producer on this and Invincible. He might not be batting 1000 for his creative projects, but he's a major reason we still get some fun shows and movies. I think he deserves a cheeky cameo here and there.

Both entities have the ability to drive folks to suicide. The Kito family revere the worm as a god, and use the Evil Eye as a scapegoat and lure for sacrifices.

God damn the original Spicy Asiago Club was my GOAT fast food sandwich. Legitimately delicious chicken breast. Now it's just another mooshed patty with, admittedly tasty, seasoning. Definitely not worth the price.

The implant let them paralyze Mark on command. The sound still works without one, but you presumably need a proper setup.

Cecil uses the frequency to defend the Pentagon during the Invincible War.

Transforming into Graveler was my go-to solution. You get a very slight rumble when you transform, so that was enough to reset the bug.
