Basically just said I was sick of the Gatewatch and there's a lack of the cooler races like Minotaurs and Jackals in favor of Humans.

God damn humans everywhere.

The draft environment is awesome though, so I commended them there

Done. Boy, was that satisfying. I know no one will ever read it but it feels good to get some of that off my chest.

>What were the predecessor civilizations like in your setting?
There was a race who built their civilisation like the great mounds of termites. Up and up they piled their knowledge, and art, and understanding. Over millennia their mounds reached the stars; they became all-powerful, and ascended.

Immediately they realised their mistake. Immediately they turned back from the horror, but this is an impossibility. Ascension is final. But they were powerful and they sacrificed everything. The universe rejected their retreat, and collapsed. A new universe was retroactively formed, and the race retroactively welded within it.
>What do the current civilizations think of them?
Here they are a race of slaves, with a quirk allowing them to hear their ancestors -- they don't listen too far back, because all they can hear is screaming.

Some, particularly followers of the Sun God (or their later atheist descendents) see them as firm allies against the repugnancy that is slavery. Others see them as cattle. Even the anti-slavers can be inclined to see them as slightly dull -- muted things, or childlike.

Try some higher quality bait.

Bait aside, I have a growing collection of CE concepts I desperately want to play. My DM hates CE and always tells me to go NE instead, but it's not the same.

>>52969821
Probably. The texts written by Emperor probably were gathered and hidden but destroying them is heresy.

the Fedorafication of the early Imperium in the HH books was the cancer that killed 40k

>>52969893
If you take the general idea of 30k and don't pay attention too closely to what's written in the Black Library books, I think it enhances 40k.

The evolution of 30k Imperium into 40k Imperium is fucking tragic.

The Metro series made use of pre-fall military ammunition as currency alongside post-fall ammunition.

The logic being, that it was the only thing that consistently held value between stations (as they had huge differences in their needs and surpluses), was light and small enough to carry in great numbers and was available in greater enough numbers.


Another example is a "rep" economy. Where people exchange favours, information, debts and other such things for favours, information, debts and such. A good Samaritan is rewarded for being themselves and a greedy man is given a incentive towards behaviour that benefits the group, as they can only gain currency this way.

This only works on the smallest of scales, in very localised economies OR in very high tech settings, where impartial AI's and computer systems manage the currencies value and the reward for certain acts.

It's all self-referential but forms a greater mythos. More than a few stories reference the Shoggoth for example, or Yog-Sothoth.

Only one references the Mi-Go, if I recall.

He mostly just referenced himself, made up this cryptic background bullshit to make the setting look bigger and better thought-out than it really is. In truth there's not enough evidence of anything to form up much coherent.

The best you get is probably the Elder Things' history from At The Mountains of Madness: it kind of binds the rest of the stuff together somewhat but even then very loosely.

okay, thanks

I agree, let's get rid of the concept of better.

Is this bait? Or do you really believe that even in your imagination everyone deserves a medal?

This might be slight, but I don't believe harlots, as a source of amusement, have been brought back.

Is it fair to say that our role-playing games no longer involve child-like delight at being presented with "mature" topics?

>Playing in caves, abandoned warehouses, or tents in the deep dark woods

In all seriousness, why hasn't this made a come-back? My have we collectively turned our backs on all these wonderful atmosphere amplifiers? It's like we don't even want to slake our thirsts anymore.

Best way would be if chaos cultists would manage to open portal inside and let daemons decimate DEldar, but then again, daemons would gain foothold against imperium.
Another option would be that after emps becoming a full god, he would invade it with his own daemons like lotd and living saints and annihilating it.

Now, its worthless. I mean, humans could exterminatus commoragh step by step, but then again, it would drain empires resources and manpower from other sides of galaxy, leaving it vulnerable to chaos. Excelent situation would be if regular Eldar would ally in battle against DEldar, but its as possible, as slaanesh becoming nun.
