He isn’t wrong

2020-04-02 21:23:22 UTC  

Hahahahaha.

2020-04-02 21:23:28 UTC  

40k is prolly the most original story line i have seen in the last... 15 yrs?

2020-04-02 21:23:46 UTC  

And it's like twice as old

2020-04-02 21:23:50 UTC  

Considering 40k is well older than that, you're not saying much.

2020-04-02 21:23:51 UTC  

yep

2020-04-02 21:23:54 UTC  

Aquilos are an example of why playing a 40k rpg with some levity is hilarious

2020-04-02 21:24:04 UTC  

40k wasnt writen to be original

2020-04-02 21:24:07 UTC  

but people haven't turned 40k to shit

2020-04-02 21:24:10 UTC  

it was adapted from another GW ip

2020-04-02 21:24:10 UTC  

40k goes back to the early 80s, IIRC.

2020-04-02 21:24:17 UTC  

they respected the original story arc

2020-04-02 21:24:18 UTC  

They’re working on it MA

2020-04-02 21:24:29 UTC  

@ManAnimal They're normie-fying it now.

2020-04-02 21:24:36 UTC  

trying to

2020-04-02 21:24:41 UTC  

it was a science fiction version of their existing fantasy franchise

2020-04-02 21:24:51 UTC  

don't think they will succeed, considering

2020-04-02 21:25:02 UTC  

instead of the emperor of man

2020-04-02 21:25:10 UTC  

its the emperor of man*kind* in 40k

2020-04-02 21:25:10 UTC  

I love how a goofy one-off totally trounced and eclipsed the original in popularity <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2020-04-02 21:25:13 UTC  

It’s facing the problem where they just push out mediocre product in large numbers more and more

2020-04-02 21:25:20 UTC  

money is all about gone for non-profitable, quality entertainment, like hollywood

2020-04-02 21:25:28 UTC  

instead of archaeon the everchosen its *abaddon* the everchosen

2020-04-02 21:25:40 UTC  

WH fantasy got nearly killed with age of smegmar tho

2020-04-02 21:25:40 UTC  

Og 40k is great for that reason, lol

2020-04-02 21:25:45 UTC  

instead of sigismund the magnificent its *fulgrim*

2020-04-02 21:26:05 UTC  

i was never big into 'fantasy-futurism'

2020-04-02 21:26:10 UTC  

instead of the vampire counts

2020-04-02 21:26:11 UTC  

its the tau

2020-04-02 21:26:14 UTC  

etc. etc.

2020-04-02 21:26:16 UTC  

It’s grown far beyond though

2020-04-02 21:26:22 UTC  

which is rather a different genre from traditional 'sci-fi'

2020-04-02 21:26:36 UTC  

considering star wars was so big

2020-04-02 21:26:42 UTC  

its probably the bigger genre

2020-04-02 21:26:46 UTC  

Most of popular scifi isn't classic scifi

2020-04-02 21:27:01 UTC  

sci-fi always was 1) an extention of current reality and 2) dealt with the human conditon

2020-04-02 21:27:09 UTC  

Yep

2020-04-02 21:27:13 UTC  

star wars, even the original was.. blah
