Hey!
Ok @dawfydd how was the movie? Seems like you enjoyed it. ?
Hmm, got to check out season 2 of Discovery.
@sundancer haha! Ewoks, nice! That’d really bend some meta-power-gamers heads out of shape. Also, what @evilstu said: Gungans. I know I thought of that too. I wonder which would induce a rage- fit first? ?
A state of cat-like readiness you say?
Cool work on the droids. Is there any room in the game to paint them as alternatives? I was thinking this with the new multipart Bossk and Sabine recently announced.
Ummm @woldenspoons Suicide Squad in Infinity? You mean like Die Morlock Gruppe for the Nomads?

I don’t the Suicide Squad That well, but I think Captain Boomerang, (I dunno the masked girl with the katana), Killer Croc and Harley Quinn are there?
@mage you’ve got a good spread of ideas there!
@horati0nosebl0wer Bloodbowl is an old fav of mine. It would’ve been good to see other Chaos based teams that play like their god. Tricky shenanigans for Tzeentch, but not the toughest hardest players. Kinda like Skaven perhaps.
Slaanesh? Don’t be so sure the Prince of Excess is out completely yet. The recent Daemon box set is perhaps proof of that? Slaanesh could perhaps be a tricky one to get to grips with: I’d say they’d probably need skills to bring out the real flavour of Slaanesh… (probably doesn’t bare thinking to much about that, lol)
Indeed, Bunyip were the Garou breed of Australia. They were Thylacines (Tasmanian Tigers). Driven to extinction by the invasion of the Europeans (both in game and real life). Now to be fair to White Wolf, I don’t know what research or information fed into their fiction. Perhaps they had good info that I’m not aware of.
But here’s the thing: the Thylacine is called the Tasmanian tiger for good reason. At the time of European colonisation that species was pretty much limited to the island of Tasmania.
That means, in all of the Australian continent, our Garou were reliant on a very restricted population, on a remote island (that even today takes a ferry about 9.5 hours to reach) in a time when the indigenous population had no maritime technology.
Here some images put that into context:
Now this can all be stepped around in story, neatly, by stepping-sideways… (that’s an Umbra joke for the non-Garou amongst us). But it seems an unlikely scenario when it’s put into context.
And this is only the Werewolf component of the old World of Darkness. Wraith wasn’t much better. A Well of Guilt ffs.
Ok, I didn’t mean to go off on a rant, but yeah it always felt that when Australia finally got a mention in these games (games that I played and loved), it wasn’t genuine.
oh man, I’m going to have to check out God Emperor Trump tomorrow. Every one else has gone to bed now, can’t be waking them up laughing…
@evilstu that’s some sweet looking Barbican… That’s A sweet looking Barbican… ?
Great work on the terrain! Lol!
Hmm yes, getting the respect right would the thing.
Oh yeah, Bunnings is a danger zone. Though maybe not the only one… Officeworks has its risks too ?
Adult themes doesn’t seem to be something that has really come up too much in the projects on this site. Perhaps a NSFW warning would be advisable. I know some of my KD stuff would be a little concerning for some.
