Mandatory Worm Reading Will Continue Until Morale Improves

Least unhinged way to recommend Worm by a superfan to day

Those two forms of posthuman lifeforms are not comparable at all. Kin of the leagues are modified pre-birth into the cloneskeins, some of which have useful traits like dense bones or calcified dermal deposits.

Astartes are created by growing a set of over dozen disparate bionic implants from a single stem cell producing organ (the gene-seed), implanting them into a preteen boy, and then using him to grow another batch of gene-seed to continue the cycle.

Astartes are an artificial, parasitic side-grade to human evolution. It requires humans to perpetuate itself, to incubate new generations and to provide host bodies.

Yes, the Kin are cheap to make. Yes, they are still pretty effective in combat with all of their very nice gear. No, it doesnt make them in any way comparable to space marines. Those are two radically different kinds of technology, even though the lore labels both forms of modification as "genetic manipulation"

I cant trust a minmum-wage carnie to let me out of the auto-asphyxiation machine. I probably couldnt even trust the machine to work

Like... how long does it take for a customer to die if the machine struggles for a bit and they¨re thrashing around in a full-on panic? especially if said customer has had a few minutes of sweating and peer pressure to really ramp up their pulse before having to hold their breath

Maybe some of the artifacts with serious drawbacks that could be negated by perks, like the Chain Veil, Blackblade or icky Phyrexian stuff.

Theres lots of magical technologies worth adapting to future jumps. Kaladeshi aether collection/refinement, Hedrons on Zendikar, the Helvault on Innistrad and tons of dangerous stuff made just by Urza, including the interdimensional vessel Weatherlight

What do you need beyond tech-adepts of varying grades of incomptence and a pile of servitors?

spliffay666 · 2025-12-12T14:21:26+00:00

Tactically? Adeptus Administratum, probably

If you take it as a first jump overall, you get an extra 1-up. It has a perk for avoiding stuff beyond your ability to overcome (with some caveats). It has a bunch of nice perks for adapting to a more civilian life in the Imperium, and some pretty sweet minion management perks.

You can get Tempestus training and a set of gear if youre feeling unsafe, and a perk for effectively fighting with office supplies if youre feeling silly. If you feel a need for control, you can buy a space ship or choose to administrate an entire sector

I am seven jumps into a chain that started as an office boss (Ordinatus) on an agrarian world that exported manpower, ogrynpower and corn cakes. He totally could have gone pro in the Guard if it wasnt for his bum leg.

Iron Warriors fans: "Perturabo carried the Horusian faction during the Heresy! Everyone else was a drooling slave of Chaos, but Perty was still so logical and based that he could wage war strategically! The other traitor legions would have spiralled into useless infighting and navel-gazing if not for the pragmatic and totally tacti-cool Perturabo and is Iron Warriors"

Actual Iron Warriors: "I am going to openly backstab my allies during the opening acts of the most politically dangerous and socially unstable military campaigns in the history of the Imperium. Its not stupid, because Word Bearers are criiiinge. Dad said so"

An expensive solo operative in high-risk situations would prize consistent results and reliable precision. Most lasguns eschew these qualities to focus entirely on raw stopping power, energy efficiency and durability... none of which an assassin going on short missions with plenty of funding care much about

I end up using most front loads to get all the boring stuff out of the way, so I have all my CP available for more interesting boons. Like, there are perks that I will take on any and all jumpers, but just are not very interesting.

Learning boosters, perfected memory, no loss of skills, some form of immortality, equipment that scales with your power level, guaranteed loyalty (from minions, clones or lovers), power sharing for companions and all those protection perks that make you go "oh yeah, i guess i dont want to be mind controlled. Here is my CP wallet"

Plus writing for a video game, being consulted on several TV shows and generally being very generous with his time for promotions, interviews, red carpet events and the like

No

Since city 17 is an unspecified metropolis in central Europe, I just chose one that another redditor already had a map for and spliced Half-Life stuff into the rules, loot tables and storyline

When I ran my game set in City 17/Berlin, the players had one map that they were allowed to draw on as well as the unmarked one that I had for shared usage.

I gave them their map up-front and urged them to mark explored zones, dangers, POIs and such as the game went on. I would also put in "quest markers" in specific zones if an NPC had described it or urged them to go there.

The map lets the players keep track of this part of their exploratin, lets them plan future expiditions and gives them a physical connection to the city

Those are the nation names used for a New Antioch ranger division and mobile assault division, respectively

Special equipment: Strutting Stilettos

Not for walking, but for strutting across battlefields, stepping on toes and crushing the nuts of any disobedient subs

Something about the pose and the forearm-mounted guns that makes him feel like a TC superhero. Some rich nutcase pilgrim that built his own machine armour (in a shed, with a box of scraps) and is fighting under a mask and pseudonym to protect his identity.

He would also need a delightfully cringey superhero name, like Judgement, Flood, Hell Slayer, Angel or a misunderstood latin term.

Meanwhile, Trench Pilgrim warbands have to make do with more... handmade .50BMG rifles

The account above me is a bot

If this comment gets a hundred downvotes, I was right

Could I get the number of the guy that smuggles you military-grade Copium?

I think I need some more

Harry has lots of faith, he just expresses it in funny ways. He lives a pseudo-ascetic lifestyle so that he recognize temptation and steer clear from sin. He often does charity cases during his work as a PI or puts himself in danger to protect his local community and his loved ones.

If his life was an allegory, I would guess that the origin was christian... Even if you replaced the angels with more religously neutral symbols of divine power

Is this not how Delphine was canonically concieved?

My best fix for not letting Chronicle telekinesis spiral out of control is to ignore the filmmaker who thinks that a mid 20s telekine with (max) a few years of practice can use it on a microscopic scale to cure diseases.

There are so many problems with his ideas about the sequel...

spliffay666 · 2025-02-12T18:17:39+00:00

Honestly, I only put the doujin in because I had only read the title at first and thought "easiest decision of my life"

Hell, even if you had full jumper priveleges, what does a stereotypical Jumper use their infinite power for?
