@sundancer Bah, one game setting to rule them all, nonsense! I do think that the Old World was good as it also included BloodBowl. Fair enough then, I’ll stand by my decision. For me it boiled down to mini design. I was not yet exposed enough to try and buy any huge armies but seeing them later made me regret not doing so before GW nuked the setting from orbit over Narnia.

@pagan8th More cowboys! Don’t worry about the long term effort. Blipvertus has been doing some great things for a while on the same theme and I think it’d be good fun for more “Wicky wicky wow wow” as our cleverly coiffed Wonder Wookiee likes to say ( @warzan quick.. get ai generated art mixing Gerry, a wookiee and Wonder Woman… however you might want to make that work ?)

@limburger 1:1 scale hobby for the trike looks pretty intense technically. Very swanky in concept but a bit daunting for execution (says a man who creates much silliness at ridiculous scale).

@danlee There has been so much world building for the franchise it is difficult to try and shake it. In the arena of settings I think the best contender for one considered ‘grim’ and ‘ dark’ was the World of Darkness when White Wolf was kicking out material left and right. I think the implosion and self immolation with their End Times was quite a bit of a hit to great writing. It really was meant to end and perhaps that was a dynamic of storytelling that made it good. The modern rehash touches on good elements for cultivating imagination but the cohesion to other systems doesn’t seem to feel the same. I guess its a function of staying in one’s lane game-wise and learning lessons from cross pollination.

40k has had and still has their stories which make the world. Saying that I was made aware of  Ciaphus Cane and might do some reading in future.
