Does anyone else point out that, unless one is using a gun to hunt wild mushrooms or berries, even that use of a gun involves killing? Yes it's killing an animal, yes it's probably for food if you live in a rural, but the gun's primary purpose is still taking life.

The "first theme"?

Yeah, stick with the carnivores for now. Who knows, maybe someday they'll actually bring in more money than they cost!

I'm a bit astounded that you can apparently just, buy actual slaves in this game. I wonder if they can rebel or if they're just perfectly loyal like the monsters seem to be.

While the part about the blast radius is true enough, frag grenades are far more common than plasma grenades and we'd probably be able to acquire a good supply relatively easily in the course of play. To me it seems like a waste of an acquisition, taking something like that, unless I feel like grabbing enough frag grenades for 100+ soldiers.

I guess I could acquire something else, I'm just not sure what yet. Will give the rulebooks another look tomorrow.

Tell me, which music CD did you insert into the drive to create these monsters?

Okay wow, I wasn't even looking in that part of the book. I was stuck in the Armory section.

I'll take a personal stash of Plasma grenades. My understanding from Dark Heresy is that the best way for non-combatants to contribute in a fight is to start chucking grenades!

I rolled for my stats, they turned out pretty well I think (toughness aside)! I do have a screenshot of the rolls along with timestamps that I can provide on request.

Decided to lean into the "spymaster" part of the career and went heavy on Peers. Maybe too heavy. Don't know!

Decided to go with a Seneschal. If we're going to be exploring and trading and consorting with xenos, we'll need someone with brains and cunning. I have neither, but alas :P

I'm just having a devil of a time trying to figure out how to actually build a seneschal without stepping on the toes of other characters. Which I guess is somewhat the point.

Posting to play, I will write up a character later today. Debating between an astropath and an adept, though I might peek at some of the xeno options since they're on the table.

Actually, just hold. Activate Pious Veil for 4 extra defense.

Though, like. Just 100 hours of zapping might actually be an improvement over the current state of things. Assuming it could be sequential, that's just five days or so, which... I'm pretty sure a lot of people would take over a 20 year sentence for shoplifting, or whatever.
I mean, have you ever been electrically shocked? It's extremely unpleasant and often painful, despite usually lasting mere seconds at most. 100 hours of it, even spread out, would probably kill anyone not in exceptional health and even then cause some lingering or permanent damage.

We'd probably wind up with something like the Judge Tree from the Megaman Battle Network series. Punish criminals with one hundred hours of zapping!

Lately I feel like I'm running on borrowed time. Still no covid in the house (unless someone had an exceptionally minor case that no one picked up on), but every bit of news regarding covid symptoms or new variants just make the thing sound worse and worse. I'm more than a little afraid that when someone does get it, it will be brutal regardless of how many vaccines and boosters we've all had.

I would fully expect pogroms within five years, ten at the most. Once the secessionists lose the ability to blame outsiders (read: the rest of the country) for their problems, they'd have to start blaming some convenient group or another.

: "Forgive me Fer, it wasn't my intent to pester you. I've seen firsthand how capable you are! And you are correct of course, we do seem to find ourselves in bizarre situations a lot lately. A year ago I never could have imagined a battle like this, and now? It seems almost...normal."

Amberly gestured to the smouldering hole in the latticework where a skeleton had stood just moments ago.
