This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: dragoner;714312The funny thing, is that the "Fourth Reich", could be considered modern Germany.

I was about to touch on that. If they're Nazis from an alternate timeline in which they didn't lose WWII, wouldn't that make them the Third Reich?

That's accounted for in the backstory.  When Hitler dies (of old age) his successor declares it the Fourth Reich upon his assumption of power.

I think it would be funny if the premise was like from the one Simpsons and the Soviets: "Aha! We were just fooling you, we never changed!"

It's not the silly walks, it's the walks in the park that are worrisome.

So, do they attack from the moonbase?

Honestly, that cover would make me, as a customer buying blind, pass the book right over. It doesn't suggest any kind of fight against the nazi supertroopers, just seems to glorify them. But Im pickier than most so I would take my opinion with a grain of salt. Im sure it looks kewl to most teenage boys.

Surely you mean der Eisermond. Or probably Bismarck II ;).

Admittedly I can totally imagine some Dieselpunk "Death Star", a floating aircraft carrier fashioned from steel & copper, filled to the brim with artillery, commanded by the Furher, or the right hand of  thereof..

Yeah, something that'd be quite at home in 40k ;). Except less spikey, a horror of floating,  twisted metal. I wasn't thinking as much of Hitler's brain as that mad scientist they unfreeze in Hellboy :D.

Oh yeah, Von Klempt. Heh, he made nazi cyborg gorillas as a hobby, Im guessing his space marinesTM would look a lot different.

Actually I meant Iron Sky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPl9BFnN-Bw

They also did a Star Trek parody.

While it is a proper term in the language, for some reason Germans don't like using the word "Reich" anymore. ;)
