Yeah, they've definitely got some kind of spirit animal magic going on. I don't really get what the conquistadors are even doing in that time period, either other than supposedly looking for the fountain of youth, but I think Ponce de Leon had been dead for like 200 years at the time of the civil war.

Necropost from the start of this thread, but fun historical fact: Some of his expedition's gear was floating around even at that time. Chief Iron Jacket of the Comanches wore a breast plate almost certainly scavenged from the Spanish centuries ago and handed down as a family artifact. :eng101:

On topic: Has anyone mentioned the Shadowrun Orcs=Black People thing? Because jesus christ. :psyduck: (Complete with mechanical enforcement of inferior intelligence, lifespan, and charisma)

Yyeah, I'm gonna go with "handling poorly." Are official novels set in canon universes allowed or is that too fish-in-a-barrel?


Ed: does anyone want to tackle Exalted? I am too burned out at this point. Bury my heart at Ghost Rape hill.

In an attempt to properly grimdarkify their universe they inadvertently(?) created a world where Ferguson PD and Zimmerman did nothing wrong.

^Warhammer 40k's policy of never ever having more than one black person on screen at the same time* has likely solved more problems than its caused. Genocidal crackers 24/7.

This being said, I'll say straight out the 40k rpg for playing a Chaos dude is amazingly Whyzzard free, considering the source material. I'm talking like Owod-tasteful holocaust book levels of (relatively) unembaressing.

Yeah. There is a considerable lack of 4chan style 'lol pricks and dicks' going on with FFG slaanesh, compared to the source material. The dickgirl mutation* (which makes you incredibly popular and socially adept) aside.


*I'm being somewhat uncharitable. Its somewhat vauge and could mean either you're a hentai star or David Bowie. Either/or.
