>>97799629
For me, it's how battles move around the map now. There is this push and pull to combats that never existed before, and as Fantasy is all about movement, it adds a new dimension to the strategy. Example a unit could be positioned to do a flank charge on a enemy you have engaged with another unit...however lets say they lost the two preceeding rounds of combat and have now been pushed towards their edge by a few inches, the arc is no longer allowing you the charge. And this is happening with every battle affecting how you place and move units all the time. I find it really stimulating. Also give ground/fallback in good order just feels more historically real. I loved 7th/8th edition but a unit losing combat basically meant combat was over, very black and white and not capturing the spirit of a mass of bodies pushing in a huge scrum of combat.

>>97801384
I feel like I did a horrible job explaining this. In previous editions you either were stuck in combat, meaning nobody moved OR you fled. Now combats are these living things that move around the battlefield.

I don't see an ounce of Y2K in cassette futurism. Like that writeup says, the furthest you could stretch cassette futurism is to include end-of-the-millenium VR, the last stretches of that technology before the Oculus Rift was prototyped in 2010.

>>97798511
> Most dieselpunk works fully embrace the Futurist aesthetic and mentality.
Futurists themselves (eg, Nazis, Blackshirts and Soviets) are without fail the main antagonists and the thing your punks are rebelling against, with the latter "sometimes" getting a pass in the context of fighting the former.
The only times that futurists aren't depicted as antagonistic or some level of insane are Howard Hughes, H.G. Wells, and maybe Tesla so long as he isn't allowed to spout his political opinions.

It's just as likely to be a chaos cult as a legitimate reason, and legitimate reasons can still be really bad if they weaken the ability to defend against existential threats.
Everyone knows the Imperium does fucked up authoritarian things. I highly doubt this nuance will be appreciated but it's like the IRL religions it's parodying where there's a lot of bad apples but it doesn't debunk the whole enterprise. Hell, the Imperial Cult was expressly not what the Emperor wanted, but when he talks to Guilliman, he doesn't say "purge the superstitious bastards", we don't know what he said but Guilliman kept working to reinvigorate the Imperium against external threats.

>>97800957
You’re either trolling or retarded. I alluded to just that. It’s completely justifiable that its battleground for culture war shit—you and I agree. The statement you posted is made by cretins whose sacred pastime is kill whitey, that’s it. But that 40k is le basedtm anti progressive narrative is absurd, that it is only one tendency. I like the setting because there’s ample room and good material for intelligent commentaries/stories on faith, religion, and empire: the human condition. Yeah that’s impossible with those presently at the head and that’s not going to change by reading in podcast talking points.

They're loyal to some fashion of "humanity" that they have shaped.

It's better than if they ended up servants of the Void Dragon.

My point is that you can never know when, how, or why a psyker is going to start fucking up reality and it needs to be violently nipped in the bud. The Leagues have total control of their reproduction. Most of humanity does not.

So then back to my original assertion: >>97795633
How is this saying 40k is an anti-progressive narrative? The Imperium rejects progress because of the danger it poses. The Eldar do it too. This is just a flat out reasonable point that doesn't necessarily have a political connotation: Change is dangerous.

But then I get "read a book" and "media literacy" and other nauseating rhetorical bullshit in response, as if I have to goosestep to the tune of antifascism or else. I'm not allowed to look at a faction that does bad things and go "okay, I understand why they do this and I empathize with it." For some reason this is not tolerable for the people that constantly screech about tolerance.

Wondering in terms of armies, thinking of getting the starter set (can get full Skaventide version) and along with that would picking up this make a good base for an army (want to play casually and maybe try tournaments) or are these not worth it for the units i.e. are they bad?

Well, one of your attributes has to be the lowest, and each class has one or two attributes they'll rely on the most (plus race and other bonuses).

It is actually my favorite edition of D&D. It is also very obvious it was the only edition where actual deep design concepting was used while all of the other editions are slapdash "I dunno, uh, do this?" levels of BS for a lot of it.

Agency status from last thread: nobody answered - yet
If I don't get anything mid-April, then it's self-publishing again.

>>97799679
Such are things these days. Publishing ain't what it used to be.

I mean, it used to be hard as shit to get an agent and get published too, but at least back then it mattered if your novel was good or not. Now most publishers are more interested in whether you already have a social media following, and the best way to get them to consider you otherwise is by writing some kind of awards-bait no ordinary person will ever actually read.

That, or writing monster porn for lonely Millennial women. Which is... well, look at what site we're on, I'm not going to judge, but you do kind of feel that the publishing industry should be more than that. The only way they'd publish Fight Club these days is if Tyler Durden turned into a werewolf halfway through and had "consensual" non-consensual sex with Marla.

Why is writing revelations so hard? I can build suspense and mystery pretty well, but every time I read over the payoff I've written it's absolute dogshit.

Cyberpunk's megacorporations aren't untouchable. Their power came from striking while the iron was hot during the Collapse, picking up the slack from ineffective national governments, and aggressive lobbying in their favor. Governments were willing to look the other way from corporate colonialism because they profited off of it, not because the corporations would destroy them (unless we're talking about the governments of poor, third-world countries). At the end of the day, if corporations had nothing to fear from governments, they wouldn't bother carrying out their horrible experiments in secret (and thus the Media role wouldn't be relevant).

With the Fourth Corporate War, it's important to remember that it started off slowly at first, with both sides launching covert strikes on each other's holdings. Only later did things ramp up into a Hot War, which *made* national governments take notice. Some countries began deploying their militaries against both sides. The AHQ bombing in particular was pretty much the final straw, since no one wants these megacorps dropping nukes (it also gave the NUSA President the perfect excuse to further strengthen the MIC by nationalizing Militech AND kick out a foreign corp).

>>97798736
>>97800965
governments were stomping corps in 2020 too, theres a whole section in home of the brave about how if a corp is too uppity and misunderstands the extent of their power the US government can and has stompted them flat. the corps had more soft power and stronger civic instututions than the state, and were able to use capital to capture politicians. But even night city had non privatised public transit, and in Japan as well Arasaka were actually fairly fringe politically, to say nothing of Europe where the state did still hold all the cards - well, at least to the extent you could say about our own modern Europe. Really only the US had a complete collapse with corps taking hold (presumably Canada too I guess) while china collapsed with no corps, Russia had a more minor collapse that actually mirrored our real world soviet->gazprom oligarchy, and the UK collapsed into a military dictatorship (in the style of contemporary to cp2020 British dystopian fiction). among others who had less notable collapses like Korea, Australia, the mideastmeltdown, etc

>>97798736
>>97800965
The entire concept of a 'megacorporation' going to war or being a government unto itself existing outside of or superior to the state, is kind of inherently stupid, if you stop to think about it long enough. A corporations mission is ultimately to create profit for their shareholders. Profiteering off of an already existing war is one thing. Actually actively participating is another matter entirely, and would most likely end with the corps stock dropping like a stone.

If you have a problem with players being creative and doing things that you didn't expect, you 100% unironically should NOT be a GM and probably shouldn't be playing RPGs at all. The whole point of RPGs is players expressing creativity, cleverness and outside-the-box thinking that would not be possible in a videogame or a boardgame.

>>97797516
To build off of some other suggestions, you could tell one of them to run things instead. Not even as a 'If you don't like it do it yourself' thing. Just legitimately suggest they all take turns behind the screen running their own one shots.

Maybe one of them finds out they like running games and you're off the hook. Maybe it gets them to realize what being the GM means. Either way, it's something you could pitch as a fun way to mix things up.

>>97797516
I've got players who can't keep serious, the trick is to just ignore their bullshit when possible and keep the game serious on my end. Playing along is when you ruin the tone of the game for the bit.
