What did Garak ever do to suggest he and Bashir were exclusive?

In online games retail I got my solo working used against me as an incentive to accept the job at a low salary, “You can still run your existing company too!”

Gee, thanks! I guess I was mainly looking to get this job because I prefer to do my current work in the evenings. 🙄

He was perceptive enough about the world around him to make being a festering piece of shit even more inexcusable than if he had been a typical MAGA idiot.

You know one of them would be channeling a Rat Catcher!

If they named everything in the ‘say what you see’ style of GH superheroes, you’d have Psi-girl and Grumblecop fighting the evil of Demonhulk and his Sea Anemone-head henchmen (okay, maybe that last one needs some work).

I had (probably have somewhere) their opposite numbers, the Knights of the Cleansing Flame. I’m sure there were specific WFB rules for both in a Citadel Compendium or Journal.

Now I realise that the Cleansing Flame were probably just as unpleasant to cross as the Red Redemption.

So sorry for your loss.

That’s not to say there aren’t a good number of Necromunda players who have tried and love Combat Zone - last year saw more new CZ players - but like you say, there aren’t as many as you’d think there’d be.

And now I have an Orlock gang to go with my Tyger Claws and Zoners. 😅

Nobody thinks its a slick system, everyone complains about the number of books they need to play. But its a comfortable familiar world which they can set their gang’s narrative exploits, and they’re very happy there.

I got games in, but only with folks that specifically came to play Combat Zone.

It’s not just a problem for new games/settings, if that makes you feel better. I spent this weekend at a predominantly Necromunda skirmish event playing/demoing Cyberpunk Red Combat Zone. Even after 2077 and Edgerunners, where folks love the setting, the 40K lore drags them in and keeps them there.

If he eats your whole posse I’m pretty sure you get to call him Dave.
