I love working #ConceptArt. Re-designing things or exploring completely new ideas from scratch. The iteration process of it. Trying to explore an idea while tying to make it workable withing the art direction & style constraints.
It scratches the creativity & problem solving itch at the same time.
My re design of an ettercap Exploring various ideas for a 'fungus moth' Ideas for a fantasy animal pen. A series of images showing the iteration process to develop ideas.

New 40k fiction has dropped! Buckle up folks.
Trump Saved 40k!
The heads were fem!
GW planed to make FemSM/Custodes, but Trump saved 40k by being elected! It showed the unpopularity of woke, thus GW labeled them men & hoped we'd not notice!
Gav Thorpe was allowed to say otherwise, as a backup plan.
Conspiracy ork ties all the thread together.

To them, its seen as a sign of a franchise 'falling to the woke'
If something like this happens it opens the door to (insert bigoted conspiracy rubbish)
Its not a reasoned position, hence why they cant be reasoned out of it.

Few more photos from the museum where I volunteer.
It's all about the big boat.

Made a youtube vid. It was from reading the transcript that found out about the 'they removed fem-custodes' merch fabrication.

Its neat.
It much more genuine sand box then Princes of the Apocalypse (Although I did like having a base town)
And more genuine choice then Out of the Abyss (Although I still liked the start of that one a great deal)

The deadliest adventure, may just kill me. :P

I once before tried to run Tomb of Annihilation. I was burnt out at the time and it and it was a bit lackluster so I hung up my DM clogs for a year or so.
Now I am revisiting it, but trying to put in the prep work it deserves. And as a sand box with a tonn of NPC and locations, its taking its time.

Some do. Some want some of that action.

He is also aware that both authors of the book, wrote that it does not remove them.
He lies to his followers, knowing the reality of the situation because he knows they wont interrogate it.
Its why its so deeply stupid, and make me feel stupid for feeling the need to point out the fictions.
Both Authors of 'The ultimate guide' confirm Fem-Custoes remain canon.

Angry watched it anyway.
Still mad about it :P

As a massive VtM fan in the 90s when it got a tv show, there was 2 seconds where we were hyped. Then we saw it was an Aaron Spelling production.

Yeah its a bad faith rhetoric technique called Gish Gallop, and its super prevalent with culture war types.
pantmonger.bsky.social
I value that novel... I don't know if its 'good' :P
pantmonger.bsky.social
That last bit is key.

I think its anywhere you can cultivate a large following of the faithful, so that anyone who points out the fictions can be dogpiled and lost in the noise.

The feedback loop where the more people praise them for feeding them palatable fictions. The more they need to make up to maintain it. Its grift and trap all in one.

It's bewildering.
I would find it so embarrassing to attach my name to demonstrable lies, even more so in the service of not liking changes to a wargame.
These people are not my people :P

First Wargame with proper minis was 2nd edition 40k (although I had interest in 40k prior it was the first edition I played)
Wargame-ish (skirmish, cardboard minis) was I believe Battledroids... but that getting into shaky memory territory of 35-40ish years ago.
Battledriods box set from FASA

Nerds and wargammers often get categorized as childish. Of being socially ill adjusted. And this whole display cements it. The threats, the all caps screaming and child like denial of demonstrable reality, all because they don't like it... its so deeply embarrassing, so cringe inducing.
