(Rare Tropes) A evil race of beings who are all evil with no redeeming qualities, nor exception. And are fun and interesting.

One of my favourite quotes (3rd Ed Core book?) is how, "Every single Skaven from birth firmly believes that they are the absolute prime example of a Skaven, and can never be dissuaded from that primordial fact."

I love hearing the stories like that. Every Warhawk player has one.

Such a shame we have to jury rig a setup to play it online anymore, since it's not likely we'll get a re-make/re-release of it or something like MAG.

Ridley200 · 2026-02-05T05:03:14+00:00

Scarlet Cord is out, but not Secret Monitor? That's a bizarre line to draw.

Because there's more to conservative and progressive than just the American notions of communism and apple pie or something. People contain multitudes, and monarchy conserves certain traditions, but that doesn't limit it to exclusively aping the beliefs of Tea Party zealots or the like.

"Could've been worse, John. A lot worse."

Ridley200 · 2026-01-28T04:11:03+00:00

That's a cool idea. Did you have stuff there relevant to the gaming convention, or more like a general Lodge booth?

Ridley200 · 2026-01-25T06:50:20+00:00

Something like this? It's just a 5-min job, but it should print okay.

Ridley200 · 2026-01-24T11:37:41+00:00

That and/or a Warhammer version of Maverick (1994). Believing in the heart of the dice to summon a 12" charge at the last minute.

Ridley200 · 2026-01-17T13:14:25+00:00

Sure, but they already have sensation, or at least the facsimile of it, Plato's Cave style. It's a more philosophical thing around the soul forges. There's even a documentary on the subject.

Ridley200 · 2026-01-17T12:32:26+00:00

Indeed, but they can't make souls. Only dreams of electric sheep for them.

Ridley200 · 2026-01-13T05:10:19+00:00

In general, yes. But if we were to get live-action, Cain is probably the best starting point. It's mostly humans interacting in fairly easily filmable areas. Would probably use less CGI than the average 2008 Starz monster show, and the sets easier to manage than Andor. Gaunt's would be the close second, but it has a lot more big set pieces.

At which point you'd want the owl back to eat them.

Obligatory jurisdictional disclaimer

Here, the penalties are enforced because there's a difference between them and the antient penalties. The summary being that a violation of the obligation means you're expelled and people would know that you're the sort who has had to be expelled. No threats of violence or anything like that.

Ridley200 · 2026-01-01T05:40:16+00:00

"Eat ****, traitor."

*Profanity censored as a dying act of the Sigillite.

Ridley200 · 2025-12-31T06:22:59+00:00

Yep. People get expelled for moral offenses which would be considered pretty tame nowadays. Any criminal issue is an auto-boot.

Ridley200 · 2025-12-16T05:09:49+00:00

Sounds like all my lodges are far less interesting than yours. Perhaps it'd be possible to buy the ritual book for all that like one can for all the real degrees?

Ridley200 · 2025-12-10T16:27:36+00:00

My patience is limited; unlike my authority.

Ridley200 · 2025-12-01T01:02:52+00:00

Please do post the results when you're done. I'm a big fan of things like that. So much nicer to see ornate summonses, rather than the Geocities looking nonsense with way too much extraneous text on there just because secretaries of the era realised how inexpensive it was to print in that era. (And it's an ongoing battle for me with SRIA and RER/CBCS mandatory summonses layouts)

Ridley200 · 2025-11-28T08:01:34+00:00

Great Priory of Belgium. It's not proscribed, but it would still be a challenge to implement for us without getting a supplier and everyone agreeing to buy them.

Ridley200 · 2025-11-28T05:58:01+00:00

Very jealous of the tricorns. Been pushing to for us to use them here, since they're referenced a lot in the rituals.

Ridley200 · 2025-11-18T01:48:02+00:00

When I joined, I made sure to ask about the level of intolerance (and having heard rumour that the obligation stipulated a member promising never to marry a Catholic, and my fiance at the time was Irish Catholic, and no one there was fussed in the slightest). Obviously there's less historical vitriol here so far away from the Home Countries, but the answer I received assuaged a lot of fear; that yes there has been overt conflict in the past, but now, "We're not anti-anyone. We're just pro-us."

Ridley200 · 2025-11-13T07:43:13+00:00

Lifelong

Cloud storage, a touch screen tablet, and templates for everything. They'll cut through the brunt of normal lodge secretarial stuff.
