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.

"a more inclusive 40k universe"... seriously??

Actually 40k emerged as a mix between RPG and miniature game.

Personally, I think I like the idea of "hormone therapy" that turns everyone, no matter race nor gender, into a superbutch male (or perhaps even a sexless superbutch). Good material for trolling TBP's "cuties" as well. "Why do you protest 40k's setting, it's where you can finally become what you wanted to be!"

Must be my particular sense of humor. I thought it was both hilarious and facinating on some level.

I assume you refer to the original Rogue Trader.
Then i must point out, that already in the second edition, the first boxed one, it was a miniature-based wargame.

I cannot say that original RT did not have rpg-tendencies, because during the time i had it, i never managed to read through it all, and i wasn't as fluent in english then, as i am today.

Or are you perhaps referring to the world itself?
Then you may be true, but all games that i remember being based on 40K that was released back then, was miniature-based skirmishes or wargames, with only limited ways to affect the missions or campaigns.

Besides, rpgs are normally one Character per Player.
Skirmishes or larger normally uses several troopers.
I may not dislike D&D any longer, but I still dislike the Chaos-Lawful/Evil-Good alignment system, as well as the level system.
;)

Rogue Trader was a wargame.

In fact, it had a lot in common with the wargames of the time.

You're probably right. I remember it was pretty fluffy for a wargame though.

Exactly! The women get power armor and great training. The men are just the dregs thrown into battle with whatever they have in hand. Are men not religious enough? Again, it's SEXISM!

Because the Eccelsiarchy isn't allowed men under arms.

Given the difficulties the Imperium has making anything as complicated as Power Armour, a few million suits for the Sisters is a serious investment, and shows a lot of faith in them.

Quote from: RPGPundit;670208So I'm not the biggest fan of the WH40K universe as it stands, but really, isn't the notion recently presented by certain people on certain other rpg forums about trying to make an "inclusive" (of gender, and apparently species) 40K universe really just a catastrophically stupid case of missing the point??

I thought that's what Eldar were for.

Your sarcasm meter is broken. Or you are the one guy who never gets the joke. :idunno:
