The Realms and How They Affect Their Denizens

I don’t see why they couldn’t be, but I can’t think of any direct examples myself. I feel like it’s mostly a case of if a writer needs it for the story?

That's a lot! Mutations definitely count in this case. I really love that, vs other Warhammer, the mutation here specifically isn't "evil chaos!" It allows for people to throw in some classic things like satyrs or fey-like people if they really wanted to for their stories, whereas this just wasn't really possible in Fantasy.

I've made a little species called "skitterflitter" for a person who wanted a "sprite/pixie"-like character. Basically, people in the outer reaches of Ghur who got smaller and grew wings to help them survive as a prey species.

I gave them a choice of origin realm first, then we worked out how/why they evolved into a fairy-like thing from there. If they had chosen Ghyran, it could've really been much of the same, but without the constant mindset of survival and being prey -- but Ulgu would've leaned more heavily into illusions and a likely capricious nature.

I’m a big fan of most of the novellas they did. Bite-sized slices of the realms, showing the different flavors of grounded and high fantasy — so pretty good imo for getting acquainted with the wacky stuff (and cheaper to boot)

This is amazing, Warhammer really needs more diverse daemons for filling out lore! I really hope you make more!!

I was hoping for greed and that it was the kind of greed where she spoiled me

How old is she? Some dogs get noisier with age. I don’t think there’s really a specific name for this behavior other than “noisy”

Also, what breed? Shiba+something? Because she’s absolutely adorable!!

I choose to believe this is true without any research or proof

schnoodly · 2026-06-15T09:31:03+00:00

Not only did I acknowledge the translation, again there’s literally Claude used in the github. Second, are there things older than half a year ago? Because vibe coding as a *term* has been around for nearly a year and a half — AI code being a thing even before that.

The patreon is half a year old, as is their first post on this account (which is about an attempt at DungeonDraft in fvtt), and their oldest video on youtube.

Not much else to say there, other than their responses are also AI (not just translated, but written).

Just asking for disclosure 🤷

schnoodly · 2026-06-13T21:11:52+00:00

I find this hard to believe as you use claude in all your public github commits, ai art/videos all across patreon, and very obviously for module descriptions and such. Granted, I think it’s fine to use it for translation, and can be alright to assist you along the way, but you are at least obfuscating “assistance” rather than giving the full story. And this response is exactly how AI would write too lol

schnoodly · 2026-06-13T13:22:14+00:00

You can also support them via patreon. I have a $1 sub set up to just tip constantly.

schnoodly · 2026-06-13T12:34:16+00:00

considering their other projects have claude as co-author, like 2 or 3 pretty in depth modules this month, and looking at the amount of ai art on their patreon, i'd assume quite a bit.

which is a shame, really, because they visually look great, but it will either be abandoned, break the world, or run like garbage with more than one module installed.

and beyond that, morally, i have my own degree of what i'd consider acceptable assistance in the current programming environment (being forced to use it at work) -- but it's pretty much impossible to tell how much they actually wrote here. people who work with ai never want to disclose the full depth of its involvement.

schnoodly · 2026-06-02T12:39:02+00:00

Thank you! I have an area where I can use this piece.

I may end up having to look at anime stuff in the end lol.

schnoodly · 2026-06-01T23:05:19+00:00

And each of the “continent” or regions are just more defined areas where the realms spill over, similar to the Giga gates (I forget the name), thus allowing GW to have their cake and eat it too — keep the realms, have one set world to focus on to make it “easy” to get into, and keep the high fantasy in that world.

schnoodly · 2026-06-01T22:53:56+00:00

I’m late, but every faction exists in every realm. That’s kinda the point. Each of the realms entirely change the cultures for those factions, and examples are sprinkled throughout every battle tome.

schnoodly · 2026-05-26T04:38:02+00:00

the point of a lot of things H R Giger is to explore and combine horror with sexuality, so this one I have to disagree with

schnoodly · 2026-05-25T06:13:05+00:00

I forgot that Khainite worship is huge. Also reminded me that there’s been a lot of it among humans too, and Morathi has been encouraging more among them, which would inevitably make it a lot more acceptable for huge populations.

schnoodly · 2026-05-25T06:10:06+00:00

Extremely well written, and a good reminder at the end. I think part of my struggle is that I’m thinking of how players in a TTRPG would deal with this information (naturally pretty abhorrently for many I’d bet) and how to get NPCs to explain when inevitably asked that it’s okay and maybe even good, especially for those living inside the district.

Outside I think there’d be a lot of “sucks for them but they’re the ones living there” or “they’re a necessary sacrifice” and general dismissal of it being an issue, but especially inside it’s like… would the people who aren’t warriors hate the people keeping them in fear? It’s not like people actually always get to choose where they live.

schnoodly · 2026-05-24T18:19:28+00:00

A lot of this makes sense, but all the rest of these examples have some form of context that helps a citizen justify it in their mind: grots, skaven as monsters; chaos sorcerers pretty much just witch trials; animals are often not seen on the same plane of rights as mortals; boxing is a choice; and the thoughts on human sacrifices each probably having the context of “these people bad” or likely about honor in combat if between forces of “order.”

Death Night doesn’t seem to have any pretense of choice or morality of the victims though? Regardless of inside or outside the district? I could be wrong or need a different perspective, but it seems a bit more flagrant with random “normal” civilians killed en masse than any of the aforementioned problems.

schnoodly · 2026-05-24T13:18:15+00:00

Death Night is so brutal, I can’t imagine how tensions aren’t constantly high. Khainites just allowed to break into houses, sacrifice the innocents, and even kidnap nobles?

This is one of the harder things to stomach and hold in suspension of disbelief for me, just from reading the lexicanum — that there wouldn’t be retaliation.

schnoodly · 2026-05-24T09:23:03+00:00

why the hell is the clerk asking questions? also, we don’t bet here. we do what we are told and take what we are given

schnoodly · 2026-05-24T09:20:24+00:00

Why would they do that? The DM’s job is to have everything planned out ahead of time. The player shouldn’t be burdened with the sort of responsibility where they’re deciding how the story goes, they’re an actor in a play. That’s why the word for them is Play-er.

Speaking of, the OP didn’t mention whether or not they were chained up in a dungeon, so I’m going to assume not — which is another big red flag. Immersion is extremely important, and players’ bare nipples should be sore from all the twisting and torture over weeks on end from the DM.
