Like I said
>""we had some things noted on what we wanted to do on this plane. We made Tarkir that eclipses the same niche so we just moved the things we had developed for one plane to the other. And because they have so much in common we will not touch mongsend""

Now we have context of DEI. But it doesn't change that Tarkir is not Mongsend and nor it changes that Mongseng exists.
>>
>>97710259
Not anymore, since the Planechase card existed pre-Tarkir they couldn't just wish it away, so it technically exists separately but will never be used. Does not changed the fact that the Tarkir block was meant to be set on Mongseng but was changed for woke DEI reasons, making Tarkir the first woke DEI set (as if Alesha didn't give that away).

It really doesn't. I run games for new groups off Reddit because I like it and it's fun. And I use FR because I like it and it's fun. And it's been years and at-least dozens of players since anyone ever complained that I wasn't doing Forgotten Realms the "right" way.

Okay, then why are there no Orkz who picked up other races' ways? Why are there no Orkz talking about the Orkish Good or the Path of Mork? I can understand there being nothing to learn from Necrons or Tyranids.

There used to be a reason behind this and it's because humans are the only ones who are actually galaxy wide. Ork space was just east of the galactic core.
>>
>>97707026
they have nothing to gain. the only thing they could get are eldar inspired speed freaks. The Tau didn't cause extreme damage to their populations, chaos isn't adding anything new.
>>
>>97707026
There are Chaos Orks and Orkish genestealers. They're not likely to pick up much from Necrons because they're ancient enemies. Tau are not common so the chance happening might not have ocurred- also orks think tau have sissy dakka so they're less inclined to emulate them.

Dunno about Eldar, Orks and Eldar have a common origin so you'd think there'd be more cross pollination. You don't hear that much about Orks and Eldar fighting in general, really. Maybe they just kind of have a built in racial understanding.
>>
>>97707026
40k is not a well worldbuilt setting where factions interact with each other organically and logically
the imperium is the setting, everyone else is a satellite of the imperium and so interacts almost exclusively with the imperium, not with the rest

if you want a pseudo realistic explanation, it's because humans are the dominant power of the galaxy so there are enough interactions for the outlying imperiaboos to become numerous enough
or simply because all other factions are not orky enough, while humans are orky enough if you squint a bit
>>
>>97707026
If you squint hard enough the Evil Sunz and their related Kult of Speed have certain similarities with the Eldar.
The ES use vehicles to get their boyz into position and provide heavy support but, being Orkz, get a bit too enthusiastic about the fighting to do the tactical repositioning part.
The KoS are the fast attack elements, such as the Saim Hann Wild Riders and other jetbike users, but again with the Orkish habit of getting into close combat rather than using hit and run tactics.

The strength of the United States’ control over PACT was tested that same year, regarding the Chicxulub Mines in Mexico. While talks about the entrance had existed for years, the Mexican government managed to make the case for a renegotiation of terms, putting the US and PACT in the spotlight. Thus, Mexico got a much better deal than initially promised, gets a great deal of american investment, as well as getting most of its debt with USA condoned. This angered many in the US, as the costs of this acquisition had been much higher than expected, especially so soon after the war, but it was considered a necessary expenditure to keep PACT intact.

Behind the scenes, however, the US made further moves to investigate the events of the Paraguayan War. The further they grew their influence across Agartha, the more they confirmed whatever they fought in Paraguay was not from there. To avoid this information to cause panic within the population, has created a special organization to keep tabs on any “unconvincing” agarthan rumor, as well as to locate agarthan smuggling within the US. The US government, unbeknownst to all other governments, still hold parts of the broken tripod that was destroyed in the jungle. Rumors talk about Edison Electrical Co. being in charge of investigating and even reverse-engineering its technologies, but if something has come out of it, it is not known.

I like this, with a few caveats. I do think that 500 surviving out of 15000 is pretty intense, even by "horrible morale-shattering defeat" standards. The heat-rays are in TWotW canonically invisible, although I can't complain overmuch if they're made to be colourful since most adaptations do that including Jeff Wayne.

I'm not sure that a museum of natural history would display a taxidermized horrible human conglomeration corpse, but I could easily seeing them displaying the thing's skeleton.

Calling the Tripods Tripods make sense, what with their three pods, but I'm not sure why they would refer to Hyperwarriors by their actual name. Maybe something like "Jungle Ghosts" or the Spanish equivalent.

Portugal showing up even briefly is a good touch. The UK did historically like to prop up nations that owed it money (The Ottos OTL) but them only sending material aid is still in-character.

A sentence to emphasize that the US was able to form the PACT at all because the other nations were exhausted and/or on the verge of collapse would probably help explain why they can enforce such harsh terms on everyone. Especially Brazil.

I was envisioning something quite desperate: if they stay in the city, they'll burn to death or they'll be atomized by the tripod. If they flee, they'll get hunted down by hordes of mutants. Either way they are sitting ducks. The ones who survived are the ones who somehow hid in the jungle until dawn.

>I'm not sure that a museum of natural history would display a taxidermized horrible human conglomeration corpse
I imagine the skeleton option would make more sense.

>Maybe something like "Jungle Ghosts" or the Spanish equivalent
Maybe "enmascarados" (masked ones)?

That reminds me of Luchadors, which is fitting and funny in a way I cannot describe.

I was thinking about the tone of Agartha lore today.
>1848-1875:
>"Italy has burned, Paris is lost, Paraguay is empty and the dead walk in Anatolia. Truly, the world has gone mad."
>1875-1914:
>"I'll beat those dastardly Sky Pirates to the ancient Atlantean treasure and win the hand of the Amazonian Queen or die trying, now who's with me men?"
>1914-0001:
>"Untold aeons of ineffable strife have begun. The Loop turns once more. All is lost."

Personally, I'm most fond of the middle. There are less wargames in that sort of spirit nowadays.
