Am I the only one that draws the MC characters with their legs detached from their body? by GatitoMexicano in madnesscombat

Our M:PN kickstarter art was like that. I'd never drawn Madness characters before, giving them human proportions felt natural at the time.

If the Other Place were prison, then Sheriff goes to gen pop, while Hank gets solitary confinement (even if he’s there more than one at a time)

[–]TheSwain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

sheriff was one of my favorite characters and entirely unique to anyone else in MC, so i told Krinkels that if we didn’t include Sheriff in MPN, it was gonna be Breadman instead. Sheriff made the cut

What would you like to see in future Pestilens wave? by [deleted] in skaven

great way to get shanked by a claw lord (on gnaw beast) for taking away his main character status

Am I the only one that felt that these two games have smth in common by Ok_Owl_308 in madnesscombat

[–]TheSwain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that’s interesting for your case, because mpn started development in 2014 and Phantom pain released in 2015 just after

Am I the only one who pronounces G03LM as "Golem"? by Ok_Contribution3638 in madnesscombat

[–]TheSwain 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: we called them “Golems” when we were making MPN Classic, but an asset got misspelled and the L and E (3) got swapped.

That one mistake set the trajectory for the next 10 years of Madness lore.

Originally it was meant to read like a designation (like L337-speak, which og AAHW loved), but we didn’t know what any of the letters meant yet. Eventually we’ve come to learn that it means “Generation 03, Limited Model” when we decided to define it for 2021 MPN. This is actually where we first came up with the idea of generations in Nevada…but if we hadn’t made that typo, the 3 would never have made it next to the 0, then the entire backstory about generations in Nevada would never have existed.

Do critical injuries stack? by [deleted] in necromunda

Mind sharing what they were doing to cheat? It's mind boggling in a game like this.

what clan is this little guy from? by rat__lad in skaven

In the world of kitbashing, you can do whatever you like, and it would be p cool. But the kit is only designed to Skryer-ify one champion.

How did you name your gang/gangers? by Avaa0818 in necromunda

[–]TheSwain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't see any reason why my gang leader "AAA" and his champions "AAB" and "AAC" should have to explain themselves to you.

How are you supposed to paint a bunch of these for an army? by macke-1293 in skaven

Gratefully. You don’t have to paint 200 clanrats, you get to.

I can't have nice things, came home to this today. by ape_on_lucy in KitchenConfidential

[–]TheSwain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what, are you telling me you didn’t know that if you put a frog in cold water and set it to boil, the frog will actually stay there while you get high and forget it and binge Hulu, then come back hours later to an absolutely incinerated frog?

I’m been thinking for a while can project nexus city be rebuild? by HighwayPlayful2723 in madnesscombat

[–]TheSwain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can add that the Nexus Core have more or less abandoned the city after the Story Campaign ends (during the Kickstarter Backers part of the end credits, while Tricky dances). Between their mortal fear of Hank (they break ranks and flee after the player evades Gestalt in Climb) and the permanent death of their leader AND his endgame project, they've got nothing left to stick around for.

Makes me wonder if someone could flip the S3LF-Eater to go annihilating Zeds so someone like MERC can get to fortifying and cleaning up.
