Re: Silence of the Warp: OoC
In reply to Kyros (msg # 771):
I concur with Kyros - I played once. One, I almost seized - there were fucking Harlequin on my ship - my IG ass wanted BAD to shoot them. A lot. They loaned me a shuri-cat so I kind of cooled out though.
Two, it lacks the grit we associate with 40K. There's very little risk to PC's. My Cadian survivor LongLased a Chaos Space Marine and dropped him. The mechanics are not awful, they just don't enforce (or support) the setting's traditional tone. It's a modern gaming conceit that in places works well, but Grimdark is not what Wrath and Glory portrays.
For anyone who's played 7th Sea, it plays a bit like that. I like 7th Sea but it's specifically NOT 40K.
