Lady Radia posted:so see im not sure im following again! im struggling with the inconsistencies here i guess lol. cause your post was all about how good it was at serious stories, and how they clashed with deep and topical themes. It's inconsistent because everything varies extremely by who is writing it, including how seriously the setting is taken and how the tragedy is portrayed. Basically the only thing they have in common is branding and shared requirements to fit the license, which provides a lot of material but without a lot of thematic unity. Lots of of the better authors (A.D. Bowden, Peter Fehavari) have a shared understanding that the "irony" of the setting is that it's obvious to the reader that the Imperium is bad and doomed, but individual characters realizing that is either scary (because they "can't do anything" about it on an individual level) or corrupting (because only extreme options can provide alternatives). Then you have the author that wrote a book about how the Space Elves put out a hit on Martin Luther King Jr. and that's why he's dead.

George Sex - REAL posted:There's a Void Born trait that seemingly allows you to use Intelligence instead of Fellowship on skills and abilities. The Void Born trait that does that only works for abilities, not skill checks. The forge world trait that lets you use Int for Commerce, Persuade, and Coerce is absolutely crazy on an Operative, though. (It's possible to have every lore and social skill besides carouse at 50+, with some of them above 70, before finishing the tutorial.)
