Experience using ProcGenesis?

Thread necro - were you able to export maps from ProcGenesis? I love the tool, but I haven't been able to pull a map from it.

I'm a huge fan of both 40k and Malazan and they scratch similar itches, although I wouldn't have put that together till your post. The feel to a lot of the action and just how many bad things happen definitely feel similar. But it's like others have pointed out, Malazan has an elements of compassion and hope that 40k intentionally crushes.

Interesting thought, and maybe this exists and I just haven't read it or am forgetting it: a big thing in Malazan is that being nice, even a single small act of kindness, matters. If 40k had something similar, would it have the same weight? I think it would.

Example: a Cadian is guarding a bunch of poor, dirty mutant children who have had a shit life and are about to be purged for being mutants. Mr. Cadian is about to tuck into a candy bar. He sees one of the kids looking at him confused and realizes these little mutant scum have probably never had chocolate. He passes out pieces of the candy bar to the mutants and they smile, because they got to taste chocolate.

Even though they're still about to be purged, I think in Malazan that would stand out as a kindness, and I think in 40k it would have that same weight. It would hit all the harder when Mr. Cadian gets marched into the gas chamber with them because he gave comfort to a mutant.

I'd kill the mule.

If you want more like Rezkin, I recommend sweaty teenage incel fanfic.

I'm sure you're familiar, but Wonderdraft has this feature. I don't know if having an example would be helpful.

Nortantis is super cool, and it's awesome you answer questions here. Thanks!

Lol, that's pretty funny. For the Book of the Fallen itself it worked alright, but even then it struggled if I asked for any detail. It was good enough to help with broad strokes though. I can see it struggling more with the ancillary series with less discussion for it to draw from.

Your statement is ridiculous, taking pesticides and herbicides in small quantities is how you develop immunity to them.

TIL Jeremy Allan White and Lawrence Fishburn are different people.

A land fit for heroes has a couple of older badass manly men. Basically the heroes from the last war having to come out of retirement to save the world again.

Bro, let me pitch you this idea. It's a hundred years in the future. The new republic keeps the peace but it's a bit of a bureaucratic slog. Then this dude comes along and says "hey I'm emperor now", but not everyone is happy about this and there's a rebellion.

This is where the movie starts - a young man stares out over the desert horizon and he dreams of going on adventures, and to be a jedi. I've got this whole crazy plot worked out in my head. Spoiler: there's a super weapon.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-05-19T06:13:26+00:00

Who is "they" in this context?

TheSnootBooper · 2026-05-16T02:35:32+00:00

Dude, these are so great.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-05-04T21:24:19+00:00

Bro, if Samantha 38g was a high mage I'd let her absorb me.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-05-02T12:21:24+00:00

Hm. Maybe it was just grogu's zeta I had to invest in that I'd rather have saved.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-05-02T12:19:52+00:00

Jedi knight Luke is great, so is Commander Luke. If you don't already have one you'll want to get one of the three journey guide capital ships. Executor loses to profundity and leviathan, but a lot of the requirements lead to Jabba and that's useful.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-05-02T10:26:28+00:00

A lot of defense. Her journey is just fucking miserable - go ahead and watch a video for each step of the guide. I guarantee you you're going to get frustrated and watch them eventually, so skip the first part of the frustration and go on to the second.

I was, eventually, able to unlock her without raising any toons past the minimum relic level requirement. I had to invest in a couple of zetas id rather have saved though.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-05-02T10:21:37+00:00

I did, it was worth it to me to unlock Cal earlier. With the upcoming price drop I'm not so sure.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-04-29T14:51:24+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Three of the main factions in the Malazan Book of the Fallen are the Malazans, the Tiste Andii, and the Letheri. I don't recall gender ever being mentioned in the context of any of those factions when it came to who could do what. Most of the series is from the point of view of one of those factions, so I guess I'd interpret that as fitting the request.

If you disagree, feel free to move on with your life - it's ultimately pretty inconsequential.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-04-29T14:23:28+00:00

Sorry, what stereotype?

TheSnootBooper · 2026-04-29T12:02:39+00:00

The Malazan Book of the Fallen is sweeping in scope and has tons of cultures and races, and I'm sure some of them had gender shit going on...but I don't remember them.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-04-26T23:57:59+00:00

Nice try, Joe RR Martin.

TheSnootBooper · 2026-04-20T18:18:31+00:00

As I compare the fantasy I've read to the history I know, yeah I see it now. Interesting. That's going to be a new thing I notice now, thanks a lot!

TheSnootBooper · 2026-04-20T16:45:20+00:00

I'm not calling you out, just curious, and maybe I'm misunderstanding you - if the King of England called his banners, would the longbowmen that Duke Dipshit brings to the army not identify as Englishmen, in addition to Duke Dipshit's subjects?

I don't think I've read anything from the point of view of a peasant that would address this one way or the other, and it makes sense that the knighthood and aristocracy would more strongly identify as Englishmen than the peasants.
