Oh, a new book! Very Nice!
I’ve really enjoyed the main book and the new Starter box set.
This is a must snag item as I already have the Champ and Beasty book on over.
Keep it up ‘Cubicle 7’ you could be going for toe toe with D&D if you keep it up!
Cubicle 7is knocking it out of the park. defiantly be buying champions of death when it comes out
Age of Sigmar and 40k are strange universes. Good and evil don’t really apply. 40k is a xenophobic universe with undertones of nazism, racism and probably numerous others ‘isms’. In Sigmar the closest thing they have to good guys is the stormcast, but they are murderous warriors on a ‘holy quest’… crusaders out to kill anyone that believes differently. They represent order, but isn’t order really just another word for dictatorship? Anyway… back to the topic at hand. Some players don’t understands that they are not good guys, they are Order. They have motivations of greed, blood lust, survival at… Read more »
I can agree with the meat and potatoes of what your saying.
My group probably would mix the, “Good and Evil Groups”. But it’s nice to have options for when they are feeling a bit not like the “normal” good guys.
I’ll probably have them cross paths with a group of “Death Heroes” and then later have them play a “one shot” as those Heroes.
I totally mis-read that as “Naughty” Vampires – I was about to say sign me up!
Images of Ingrid Pitt started to form.
That’s a very different RPG. You may have spotted a gap in the market
Ingrid Pitt… wow… thats Hammer Horror stuff… the fact that I know who she is makes me feel old.
Roleplay a Flesh Eater gribbly? Crikey that’d be a challenge. An interesting one though.
I’ve been part of an ‘evil game’ before… Dark Jedi, Cultists of Cthulhu…
They’re ok for one shots in my experience, but not easy as ongoing campaigns. Soon deteriorates into ‘doing what the hell you like because you’re evil’ which can leave the GM struggling with a plot as motivating ‘heroes’ is very different from motivating for ‘villains’.
League of Infamy as boardgame is fine… probably… not played it…
But a back-stabbing, self-interested party will quickly turn on each other and then it’s ‘game over, man, game over’.
Good points. Staying with gw I guess it’s similar for the authors. Hard to do a three dimensional representation of the bad guys (ADB and a few others excepted).
I think one of the things you have to agree with when it comes to roleplay though is that there is a shared sense that it’s “still a game” and being evil for the sake of being evil just isn’t conducive to that element of “play”.
One of the things I’ve always looked to is the question of…
“Why did your character do that?”
“It’s what my character would do”
“Then why did you make your character an arsehole?”
You can still be what’s generally considered a bad guy and not just be a cackling Chaotic Evil maniac.
For example, in the latest Cursed City book, there is a probably quite evil (well, he is) wizard. But, despite his differences from the other characters he still fights alongside them without resorting to leaving them in the dirt every combat. Sure, he’s self-serving but much like an RP character – you come up with reasons WHY rather than why not.
It will be interesting to read the section in the new book as Emmet mentioned and explore how they think about mixing different Grand Alliances.
Sadly… a lot of people don’t have a good answer to…
“Then why did you make your character an arsehole?”
Some people just like to play that way.
It’s possible that in real life they feel people are arseholes to them… but they daren’t say anything… so when it’s game time they feel the need to reverse the roles. But two wrongs don’t make a right…
That’s a unexpected journey to go down could be a interesting journey.
I look forward to the release of this book. I hope it will be fun and unlike anything else. And I am very afraid that it will not be original. Since there is a lot of plagiarism in our world.
