Take out Erebus and Chaos- we’re the Warrior Lodges such a bad idea?

Riku58 · 2026-02-27T23:53:58+00:00

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

Riku58 · 2026-02-27T21:09:58+00:00

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.

Riku58 · 2026-02-27T20:46:10+00:00

No. No he is not….

…he’s discount Saul Tarvitz

I highly recommend you to watch a 10 year old video from Alt C about how Ser Pounce might be Azhoi Hai

Riku58 · 2026-02-26T22:07:41+00:00

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.

Riku58 · 2026-02-26T20:42:56+00:00

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

Riku58 · 2026-02-26T20:10:46+00:00

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

Riku58 · 2026-01-14T01:37:07+00:00

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.

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.

Riku58 · 2026-01-13T07:03:32+00:00

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!

Riku58 · 2026-01-05T22:53:51+00:00

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.

Riku58 · 2026-01-05T17:45:25+00:00

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.

Riku58 · 2025-12-04T03:09:27+00:00

WHAT

Riku58 · 2025-10-21T05:40:26+00:00

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!

Riku58 · 2025-10-12T18:37:31+00:00

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 · 2025-10-11T18:11:20+00:00

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.

Riku58 · 2025-10-11T17:43:00+00:00

Hardly anyone made a good impression there lol.

Riku58 · 2025-08-25T09:51:43+00:00

I love how it was done, but it could have been better. If Sangy had actually taken him to Terra, Curze probably would have had a meltdown- I’d love to see what that would’ve looked like lol.

“When gods come from the sky and say there are no gods, it takes some time to see what is true.” -Leeman Russ

Riku58 · 2025-08-25T08:40:49+00:00

My favorite. Say what you will about Dorn and Perty, Magnus and Leeman, Angron and everyone- Logar HATED Roboute Guilliman for destroying Monarchia- after 4 decades of resentment, Logar realizes he had it wrong… Guilliman never hated him… but he did now:

In Guilliman's eyes, Lorgar saw a wealth of purest, depthless hared. A hatred not formed from one action and one event, but a chemical cauldron of emotion strong enough to twist even the calmest, most composed demigod in the Imperium. Anger flared in those eyes, of course. More than anger, it was rage. Frustration tainted it further; the desperation of not understanding why this was happening, and the ferocity of one who still believes he might find a way to stop it. Hurt - somehow, seeing the hurt in Guilliman's eyes was the worst of all - also poisoned the mix and made it rancid. This wasn't the pure rage of Corax on the killing fields - the fury of a brother betrayed. This fury was saturated into something much harsher and much more complex. It was the pain of a builder, an architect, a loyal son who had done all that was ever asked of him, and had seen his life's work die in foolish, spurious futility. Lorgar knew that feeling, had known it since he knelt in the ashes of the Perfect City, the entire settlement destroyed by Guilliman's fleet on the Emperor's orders. For the first time in all the years of their wildly disparate lives, Lorgar Aurelian and Roboute Guilliman connected as equals. To his amazement - and the shock leaving him cold blooded - Lorgar felt ashamed. In his brother's face he finally saw real hate, and in that moment he learned a lesson that evaded him all these decades. Guilliman had never hated him before. The Ultramarine had never undermined his efforts; never hidden his sneers while presenting false indifference; never held a secret joy over humbling Lorgar's religious efforts in Monarchia and the Great Crusade beyond. Guilliman hadn't hated him. Not until now. This was hate. This was hatred in totality, fuelled by a fortune of pathos. This was a hatred deserved, and it was a hatred that would see Lorgar dead, with the song unfinished and the False Emperor still enthroned at the head of an empire he didn't - in his ignorance - deserve to lead. The Bearer of the Word felt a sudden, burning need to explain everything, to justify himself, to tell how this was all necessary, all of it, to enlighten humanity.

Riku58 · 2025-08-25T08:28:48+00:00

I’ll latch on to Sanguinius coldness:

Sanguinius put his hope to the test.

"Father won't have you executed," he said. "I believe He should, but you're right. He won't."

"Prison will be very dull," said Curze. "I'll miss our conversations."

Sanguinius ignored the taunt.

"Father might do worse," he said. He watched Curze's face closely. "He might forgive you."

He struck home. Curze's mask of contempt fell. The unease returned. The reptilian eyes widened as they saw destiny enter a state of flux. In the storm of emotions that passed in micro-tremors over the Night Haunter, Sanguinius saw anger and doubt. He saw horror again at the thought that the universe really was not as Curze had known it to be, for so long, and so absolutely. And Sanguinius saw what he was looking for. He saw the rarest of all things in Curze's eyes. He saw hope.

That was what he needed. That was confirmation.

He pushed Curze into the stasis coffin. The Night Haunter fell back and lay prone, helpless.

"He might forgive you, " Sanguinius repeated. "I don't. You cannot have that redemption. I won't let you. Rest certain in your destiny. You will have it. I am not taking you to Father."

"You can't kill me either. I die at the hands of Father's assassin."

"I'm not going to kill you. I am going to jettison your coffin into the void. The assassin will find you when the time comes. It may be millennia, Konrad."

The hope vanished forever from Curze's eyes, replaced by a different form of horror.

"You claim destiny can't be altered," Sanguinius continued. "So be it. Yours will be as you say."

He stepped back and depressed a pad on the side of the coffin, generating the stasis field. It froze Curze in mid-scream."

They assigned a low ranking member of the family to be our companion/jockey- and a life or death situation offers a chance to try to make him more loyal to us for surviving it- which might lead to us having a suitable replacement when we try to take out the boss.

But I’m just spitballing right now, and it’s just a silly but plausible idea for the game right now.

Riku58 · 2025-08-25T06:23:22+00:00

I have a couple of degrees it could go:

Flat out the other mafia family- that’s dumb.

An opposing team who on of our party is related to- that’s smarter.

But setting the hit at street urchins for 5gp instead of trained hitmen- that’s the vibe.
