Soulbound has several in depth RPG books and an RPG setting for it. It came out in 2020. There's lots of content on the Realm of Fire. I could realistically make a quest on any of the Eight Realms except maybe Ulgu if I had the motivation and confidence.
You know nothing about AoS. You just shit on something I like because of a paragraph I posted because I was excited, and decided based on that that you would go on a rant to talk abotu a setting you know barely anything about and then brought up horrific imagery about a goddamn game as if it was a personal attack on you.
Understandable. Once again, for however little it matters, I apologize.
I think it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation.
I just dislike that they felt they had to kill WHF completely just to sell AoS. Almost like they were trying to force it. And it was rather petty the way they have gone doing it.
It's perfectly understandable to dislike the way GW treated WHF. What is less reasonable is criticising something you know nothing about.
Harsh. Very Imperium-esque, in my opinion, to not give settlements the supplies they need until they prove their worth.
To me that reads "we send supplies if you survive." Which sounds fair enough. Because sending supplies when they don't survive is just a waste...
Probably not the best place to discuss AoS lore, but to give some context, nine out of ten outposts are destroyed before they manage to get a foothold. It's a difficult thing to establish those strongpoints, and resources are limited, so there is some cold practicality to it.
Yeah the heart of the matter. People see the same names they know from WHF all over the AoS. Hard to explain to them AoS is different when AoS is trying very hard to pretend to be same rather than going new. I don't know much about AoS but I know it gets better more it moves away from WHF.
No. Boney disliked the idea. He prefers to keep all the discussion in one place.
Alectai ´s discord has a channel dedicated to Warhammer in general, and sometimes there's discussion about DL (as well as some other quests).
You're in luck. The Gamemaster section on Page 296 of the core Soulbound book gives you the "Grim and Perilous" Option:
Sigmar's still kind of stupid, but he's developed rudimentary intelligence in AoS. Enough to lead a society, even if it's pretty flawed and has ten thousand degrees of delegation. He's also an actual character and is enjoyable to watch.To be honest I am starting to like what I hear about Age of Sigmar which I was not expecting to happen. I do wish I did not have to deal with stumbling over pieces of WH lore in what looks to be a fun new world since that link goes through the nonsense that is the End Times, but I can see how a more High Fantasy RPG could be fun.
The only serious gripe I still have is how it's Age of Sigmar, everything orbiting the hammer wielding barbarian who got lucky and saved a dwarf king once. It makes the Sigmarite fanatics and imperial supremacists right by extension about them being the center of the universe.
Still that is only in the context of Warhammer so I'll just go on thinking of them as different games that happen to share some names by sheer coincidence.
It's a bit out of the way, probably not relevant to Divided Loyalties.
To be fair, Sigmar left the Empire without setting up a method of succession, so one could argue that's a serious strike against his intelligence. On the other hand, most sources say that his rule was prosperous and he did lay down the foundation for what the Empire would become, but then again you could try to justify that as Imperial Propaganda. But then you hit the wall of the fact that the Empire wouldn't have lasted this long if its foundations were rotten, so he must have done something right.
I figure he's done enough to earn a place as one of the top three Emperors of canon*.
He was a fine conqueror and personally charismatic, which we can infer from the existence of the Empire in the first place, but whatever skill he possessed as a statesman is never really established except for his founding of the electoral system.
That wasn't him, though- he just left, and the Counts met and decided that they'd establish a successor by vote.
I've got two ideas about that.
He made the Imperial calendar.
