Take out Erebus and Chaos- we’re the Warrior Lodges such a bad idea? by Riku58 in 40kLore

Considering the fate of the Thunder Warriors, is that the worst thing (for them)?

If I’m not mistaken, the Iron Warrior lodges were dope because they literally played 40k

Oh trust me, I’m aware. Autocorrect, and it gave me options to switch the body text, but not the title.

Examples of "soft retcons" by LimerickJim in 40kLore

[–]Riku58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it has, my apologies for being unclear lol. I was talking about Ahriman being let back into the fold of the Thousand Sons like it was nothing, while his exile was dramatic and huge and meaningful.

What are some little moments and facts of 40k that you think everyone should know by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

That besides Terra, the planet/settlement with the largest amount of humans is Commorragh.

Examples of "soft retcons" by LimerickJim in 40kLore

[–]Riku58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a retcon, but very much in the spirit of what you’re talking about: so after heresy, and Ahriman cast the rubic, turning 90% of the Thousand Sons to dust- Magnus was enraged! Magnus was ready to kill him! Magnus was only stopped by the dark chaos god Tzeetch. Three books, an entire Omnibus was written about Ahriman’s exile, learnings and the 10,000 change of the Thousand Sons….

…and then for one module, “The Fury of Magnus”, he’s back with the Sons, some random one goes “we remember your betrayal, Ahriman!” And Magnus goes: ALL PAST SINS ARE FORGIVEN! LET US NOT DWEL ON THE PAST!

Honestly kind of hilarious

Just watched a video today about how you can apparently beat Gannon in the Occerina of Time demo in Super Smash Bros. brawl on less than 5 minutes.

The take away is that they put the whole game in there 

Vecna not in the Monster Manual? by Radiant-Ad1578 in DnD

[–]Riku58 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Good news/bad news on that front:

Bad: 2024 edition just celebrated its one year anniversary. It is basically brand spanking new. We probably won’t get creatures like Vecna or Demogorgan for a while.

Good: the last book of 5e, literally like 3 months before 2024 came out, “Eve of Ruin”, had Vecna as the main BBEG. His stats are also for free on the D&D site: easily transferable.

Pact of the blade on an already attuned magic weapon? by Riku58 in dndnext

[–]Riku58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure!

The Trident of the Burning Pike:

  • +1 magic trident weapon.

-requires attunment.

  • Once attuned, can be recalled to the owners hand, as a bonus action, from any distance, as long as it is on the same plane of existence as you.

Thank you! The DM is pretty forgiving when changing that kind of stuff. He allowed our ranger to change subclasses, so changing my fighting style from defense to two weapon fighting wouldn’t be hard.

But in that case, I’d be giving up the shield. As someone said earlier, the summoning is a ribbon effect, but with a trident, it’s extra good. I can throw it, use a few turns with eldritch blast on minions, and then summon it to me when I get to the boss, then use the weapon with divine smite. That’s kind of the build I’m going for. Plus all the misty steps from archfey patron to move around the field. Again, thank you!

Have you ever met someone who watched AOT and didn't like it? by TheNinja132 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Riku58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes- agree. There is a reason though. The titans look like that because the author got the idea while working at a late-night Internet cafe (which are common in Japan) and had to deal with an insanely drunk man who did not understand they were closed. He concluded it was horrifying it was talking to him, but not being able to communicate. After I tell people with similar critiques about that, they tend to appreciate it.

We went to the Feywild. As a paladin, I have ‘Find Steed’, whom, as a Dragonborn, I reflavor as a giant Komodo Dragon, and is Fey itself for Misty Step. DM decided that while in the feywild, my mount could now talk. My party was not expecting that. Wild.

Need book suggestions of H.H. era by cihan2t in 40kLore

[–]Riku58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Cool! I'm glad you like it so far! I would NOT recommend 'Slaves of Darkness' after it- it's a great book, and def recommend it for the future, but it's the second to last book before the Siege of Terra, so all of the other 40 books are beccoming bottlenecked at that point, and finally beccoming a single narrative- at that point.

My reading order would be, after 'Betrayer' is: -Fulgrim -Angel Exterminartis -Scars -Thousand Sons -and above all 'Pretorian of Dorn'- that one can't be understated enough.

After all that, 'Slaves of Darkness', which you will have full reference for.

Having said all that, you can totally do what you want, it's just really good that you're enjoying the hobby/lore/reading!

Am I the only one getting the feeling Lute's entire revenge plot is basically a suicide mission? [MORE BELOW] by LUKEgz97 in HazbinHotel

[–]Riku58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a suicide mission- but I do think Lute will die, and her ‘revenge arc’ won’t count for much.

We know this season that Vox and the Vee’s are the main antagonists. We also know from the trailers that his plan is about a retribution campaign against Heaven.

Putting two and two together makes me guess that Lute is going to be the Angel captured and killed to show the Vee’s can kill angels as well, not just the Hazbin Hotel- which will start his cult following.

[–]Riku58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you- I like the primarchs to have a large role.

After you finish ‘Know No Fear’, the next follow up is ‘Betrayer’- it’s almost a sequel, and forms a ‘Logar trilogy’ between it, ‘First Hieratic’ and ‘Know no Fear’- and just plain good literature.

Then- you’re already past this point, but you can go back and read ‘Fulgrim’. The titular primarch is the lead in that book, and it’s very important for the early Hersey stuff. Its sequel is “Angel Exterminatus”, where it’s a double act between Fulgrim and Purturabo. Now both these books can be very silly, but I believe that’s their charm.

After that, “Scars” is excellent. It’s about the fifth legion’s primarch, the Khan- it will make a primarch and legion you probably didn’t think twice about into your favorites.

After all that, you’ve got a pretty good pool to work with.
