I will, though not tonight.

[Caellath]

I just noticed Nabih hadn't asked a very important question so far. And Tack, does your personal text mean you're purchasing w40k miniatures?

[Tack]

It does, yes. Or I had. I think I'm pretty much done buying things up for the forseeable future.

[GiglameshDespair]

What did your bank account ever do to you, to be mistreated that way?

[Tack]

*shrug* I can sell them. Probably not at a profit, but at least it's some money back.

[Tack]

Came across my booklets, so I figured I might dump some stuff.

Spoiler: Lore snippets (click to show/hide)

Magic is totally real but only really elves or dwarves are good at it.
Elves had speaking/singing magic (true to elves) whilst dwarves had the written magic which persists today.
Elven magic was far more volatile, but less enduring. Dwarven magic is passive and generally quite weak, but easy. (runewords, etc)
The potential for mass destruction, or mind-altering magic used by the elves caused the dwarves to declare war and wipe them out due to fear.

Knights are fucked up. I would've legitimately enjoyed seeing one of you try to go up against them.
The idea of a knight is that they had to have been of an intelligence, bearing or lineage which would've made them capable of being a powerful noble or merchant, but instead they sacrificed that opportunity for total mastery with a weapon.
Every aspiring knight has to show a demonstration of their skills in front of the king and the royal court (wasting their time is obviously a death sentence), so it's advised to at least have +5 in a weapon skill as well as a stunt which supports it, which every current knight does.
Unsure whether or not I was going to have them backed up with dwarven magic, maybe a brand on them somewhere denoting their awesome status which accidentally makes them a lil' bit superhuman.

Once a knight becomes a knight, they're basically given command and are allowed to raise a regiment of followers termed 'men at arms', who're all people who have decided that 'X knight' is the coolest person ever and they want to learn the fighting style.
Knights are prohibitively expensive to keep, but men at arms are relatively cheap because their fanaticism makes them neglectable.

Anywho, basically the Kingdoms is currently going bankrupt and has had to drop their 'soldier' regiments which were companies of all-rounders able to pick up whatever holes were lacking in the arsenal of the local knight company.
Hence Tiat. There's actually many hundreds of them who're currently proliferating south into the states, which was about to cause a Massive power shift 'cos a huge number of cheap, well trained mercenaries was gonna get taken advantage of by Aurelar, and that was the story so far.

Ifn' any questions glad to answer em. Probably going to make a new, different game.

[SOLDIER First]

Please do so I can kill it

Hello, I'm planning to start up a FATES game. May I join up as an ogre? The races section said they're playable, but the character creation section doesn't list them as a playable race. Last, question, should I be able to make an ogre, may he have three heads? I could have it as his high concept.

[SOLDIER First]

This game is kind of officially dead now.

[Caellath]

This game is dead, unfortunately. Killed by a dearth of players and posts (though thankfully not on my part).

@Tack: You could try anything w40k. It's likely to stick.

[Ragenaut]

Well, dang it, came to late. I'm planning to make a game, would you like to hear about it?

[Tack]

I guess, sure? On the off chance my players would've been interested.

Totally would've vetoed the three-headed ogre though, so maybe it's a good thing the game is dead.

@Tack: You could try anything w40k. It's likely to stick.

Hmph. Never ended up running that Eldar game.
But really was thinking of doing another zombie 'pocalypse game. I've failed two or three of them so far, it's almost a tradition.

[Ragenaut]

Its called The Frozen Century, and im thinking of using the FATE system for it. It takes place during the Cold War, in an over the top style similar to what you see in Dynasty Warriors or Sengoku Basara. There would be 6 different eras to it going from WW1 and the 20s, all the way to the late 80s/early 90s.

I also seem to have a habit of making really stupid/OP sounding characters, it seems.

[SOLDIER First]

Sounds good!

[Tack]

No, it's just unlikely you'd see a three-headed ettin dude in low fantasy.
Ogres in this are were just big humans.
