Step into the grim darkness of the far future where life is short and only the strongest, or most deranged, survive.

Have you ever heard someone so upbeat and positive reading the 40k into? It was the happiest "there is only war" speech I've ever heard

[@hittkid6312]

probably an ork or a follower of Khorne

[@csgilmore3536]

I can tell some of these people are into the lore well before they even play just because of their reactions to these things.

[@jamesculverhouse4657]

🎉😊 THERE IS ONLY WARR 🎉😊

[@Macwylee]

Wouldn't you be upbeat if you were being paid by the developer to market their product?

[@darklightstudio]

As a very new viewer of GCN, I gotta say I am really impressed. Between Androids and Aliens and these Who Dis shows, I am hooked! All of you guys and girls are so much fun :) Thank you, sincerely.

[@TheGlassCannon]

No. Thank YOU!

[@jamesculverhouse4657]

When skid says he has an astartes knife i was reminded that the guy who discovered the STC file of it was given a planet, maybe the only happy ending in all of 40k

[@megamagnet1]

Grown adults giggling like children over a tabletop game. True joy lol

[@Feralzen]

At 31:18 the face of Kate when she realise that you have to glue the minis, paint and base them. Priceless 😂

[@kasciavhsndvisamdv]

absolutely top tier, there is no other actual play with this level of quality. That audio and video portion really took it to the next level! Great job Grant for putting a ton of work and love into this and to all of the players as well for coming up with such rad characters.

[@TheGlassCannon]

[@anthonycrook6940]

Fuck me, From Mork Borg to this, like come on. What two fantastic settings. Keep bringing Kate back, shes awesome.

[@GodofChaos45]

For real. Need some more dark fantasy real play in my life.

[@Tibbyvc-rb7od]

MORE 40k. If not for me, do it for Skid. He was so giddy throughout.

[@RecklessFables]

Troy managed to find a character more nuts and more extreme than Roger Cumstone

[@tom2678]

Troy and Joe, if you're just going to laugh, mute your dammed mikes during the intro you schmucks! Said with love

[@KevinOMalleyisonlysmallreally]

Kate "Special K" Stamas is a great addition to the GCN.

[@radred609]

Kate's brand of humour just meshes so well with this glorious group of idiots

[@EmeraldLavigne]

Thank you for accurately describing the politics of the Warhammer 40K universe, Skid. We aren't supposed to emulate them - we're supposed to laugh at them! It's distressing more people don't get that.

[@CourtneyVarner]

Awwwww yiss Kate playing a Skitarii. All hail the omnisiah! Working on building out my AdMech army now.

[@stewartthorpe2533]

This is the most giddy I've seen these gamers be just discussing their settings lore and their characters BEFORE the game begins. 🤘 The fact that I am also a 40k lore lover also makes me even more excited. LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[@ViciousTriangle]

I love how the Joe has never stopped with the Philly lingo, jawn this and jawn that

[@Pandaman94]

You continue to laugh at the Emperor and His Astartes and its quickly testing my patience and pushing on Heresy. Watch yourself.

[@MeIsAndy]

As a native of somewhere very close to Fall River, I can agree that it would be the perfect grimdark setting.

[@antonyj3D]

I love that I'm here watching an intro to a 40k RPG from a group of people that literally have jobs making RPG content and I'm still being nerded on by Troy for being a nerd and painting minis. What a time to be alive! Keep up the Emperor's work!

[@proffingers]

What are the chances that the dislikes on this video are just Matthew?

[@elfinfluff]

I've heard 40K described, "the 'good' guys are a fascist theocracy who will murder 10 billion people before lunch". I'm still salty that Battlefleet Gothic died out before I had the money to really get into it. Also, find yourself someone who will look at you the way Kate look at those sprues and realized you have to assemble them first THEN paint them.

[@MollyGermek]

The good guys are the Tau, people just bend themselves backwards to justify thinking they're somehow worse than the Imperium.

[@beningram1811]

@@MollyGermek There are no "good" guys, but the Tau are in the front row for least bad, for sure. There's an argument to be made for Tyranids and Orcs to be neutral, since they are not acting out of malice, in a similar way to a tiger wouldn't be considered evil. but... mankind are definitely way down the list of least bad.

[@Tibbyvc-rb7od]

@@MollyGermek The Tau are definitely not "good" just incredibly naïve and uncorrupted.

[@MollyGermek]

@@Tibbyvc-rb7od Nah, they're definitely good

[@nekrataali]

From Gav Thorpe: "This is Warhammer 40,000 - nobody is as shiny as they first seem! As a bit of an analog for late 20th century / early 21st century western interventionist culture I've always assumed that the Greater Good is ultimately for the benefit of the T'au and if others get something out of that's just a bonus. The fact that they are even willing to work with other species is pretty unique and progressive among the factions of 40K, rather than rampant genocidal, xenophobic armies. The thing about the Great Good is that it is, in the long term, as inflexible and authoritarian as the Imperial Creed or the all-consuming Tyranids. It still comes down to the Greater Good or Death™. I've tried not to make it too sinister being within the T'au sphere, though in the original Apocalypse book I introduced a variety of NATO-style innocuous three-letter-acronym formations, like Mobilized Hunter cadre, Dispersed Retaliation Cadre and Forward Commitment Contingent. None of them say 'battle' or 'war'... I can imagine the news back home is quite a sanitized version of the reality - like when we watched videos of 'smart' bombs and gun cameras blowing up stuff in Iraq but were totally unaware of what was really happening on the ground." T'au are not good. They engage regularly in double-speak and manufactured consent. They have a literal caste system lol...

[@hegmonster]

Mathew's not here to "yuck on your yum!"

[@Dash277]

I paint a LOT of 40k and AoS stuff, but have not played much. This universe got me into painting and made me appreciate art in general. Cool to see this!

[@sebastiendouilhet5890]

"It didn't have to be that extra... but it is" Yeah... That's a good summary of 40K for you

[@jeremiahbroshar892]

I remember the first time I came to be familiar with 40k. I walked into a comic book shop and there was an utterly massive table sporting Basilisks flank Tau stealthsuit patrols.

[@andymeechan3924]

Special K is slang for ketamine. Just letting you know ;)

[@roboticd]

Yeah, it's also a healthy-ish breakfast cereal, which is where the slang came from.

[@beningram1811]

In the grimdark grimdark of the grimdark, there is only....Grimdark!

[@chriscordeiro1052]

Something something grimdahk

[@lechevalier6261]

Congrats to a fantastic kickstart. How amazing. The first 40k session I´ve seen in a long time with a GM and players that caught the feeling for the setting right from the beginning.

[@VonChoker]

I suggest you watch the short youtube animation series "Astartes" to get an eye opener of the dark future and the sheer majesty of the Space Marines

[@aepher09]

You guys should make an official NGWD peanut butter crunch scale!

[@rogziel]

*me when they call W&G crunchy* Play Shadowrun.

[@oakson3045]

Holy shit you’re not kidding, Shadowrun is dense stuff.

[@jefffaller5155]

Canticle for Leibowitz was one of my very favorite books... Can't believe that Skid brought it up.

[@Pricey06]

This was amazing guys, it's great to see newcomers to the 40k universe really enjoying the lore. Can't wait to watch the next episode, best 40k RPG stream I've ever seen so far!

[@MouseGuardian]

The Machine-God, AKA. the Omnissiah is just another aspect of the God-Emperor, right?

[@Fstwist3393]

Not quite, they're separate but when the Emperor came to Mars they viewed him as the Omnisiah (i think... Things always change and shift in the lore)

[@nekrataali]

There's an actual machine god and then the Emperor who claimed to be the manifestation of the machine god to get the Adeptus Mechanicus to sign the Treaty of Mars. Whether or not the Emperor was telling the truth can only be speculated upon. The Omnissiah could also be a Necron Star God, so who knows for sure?

[@jwhite3389]

I really enjoyed this episode. I hope they can cover Imperium Maledictum when it comes out later this year.

[@lemsdarkapprentice2535]

does anyone know where the videos for the original deathwatch game are?

[@stephankiesel6686]

When Kate starts talking about the abilities of her character you can tell, she clearly got what this setting is about.

[@vonkrieg9984]

Watching you guys GEEK out to 40K is fucking beautiful 🤘🏼😜

[@rangerbobcat]

Azrael is, of course, the Angel of death in the Abrahamic religions, with slight variation depending on whether one is reading Jewish, Christian or Islamic religious literature.

[@stuartthomas6761]

Jewish, Christian and Islamic religious literature are decidedly silent on the matter of Wombat Sextable.

[@ogreboy8843]

The comparison to Cyberpunk is interesting. I think 40k being a fascist dystopia makes for important differences from the capitalist dystopia of CP. You lose the consumer lust of scouring gear lists for chromed up cyberware and you gain inhuman monsters that it's your moral duty to destroy.

[@moondaiandtrashpandadeluxe]

And advancing science abd tech is good in CP but heresy in WM

[@mikemccoy5092]

Troy was wrong d@d came from chainmai not 40k wrong era

[@TheGreatWolf44]

I think he meant it came from wargaming in general

[@MrMason-sc1yc]

I recommend the Adeptus Ridiculous Podcast for newcomers, or do what I did and read The All Guardsmen Party with the 40k wiki open.

[@Zargouski]

As a rabid fan of Warhammer 40,000, it can get frustrating listening. Almost any other podcast I would have turned it off but Glass Cannon are such pros they make me want to continue.

[@gangrel7674]

Listening to this while painting my drukhari raider. 40k is an incredible hobby. Take the plunge!!

[@travisty007]

Well done Grant and everyone. This was an awesome, epic start. Caught up just in time to watch Part 2 live tomorrow. So excited.

[@josephgarcia9076]

Really enjoying this. The discussion is very fin and clear and informative nerdiness. I come from a Pathfinder background and really want to get into this. The dice system seems awesome. Reminds me of starwars ffg naritive dice. What adventures do you recommend?

[@roboticd]

Y'all need to be listening to Bolt Thrower for the full experience...

[@roboticd]

And was Joe toying with an early version of Brother Ramius here?

[@roboticd]

also, Troy's parochial schooling is showing lol

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

Is there a link to the prior game they mention? I looked in their Videos and did not have any luck Oh and please please please Play some Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay from Cubicle 7 Wow - Canticle of Leibowitz!! DEEP CUT. I remember a snippet where a monk discovers how blue prints were made and he was disillusioned

[@stompsgames]

You can listen to it if you are a patreon supporter at the $5 tier. This was before they switched the model up a bit, before they moved new game who dis podcast to the $10 tier but also made the videos available on KZbin.

[@jimfromthepast]

As a ttrpg fan that has somehow never gotten into warhammer, I love learning about the warhammer universe this way. Also, Grant! I miss seeing Grant. Love you guys, this cast right here might be my dream team

[@catboxvideo]

Troy - ever see Hotel Artemis? This badge says I am a trained medical professional - that knowledge goes both ways.

[@g2b283]

Troy should’ve said the scar goes over his mouth like the joker and that’s why he covers his mouth when he lies he could have the flavor from there

[@thorlocks7818]

I had the same thought about the scar placement

over 2h of character introduction... wow

[@colerape]

You only get one bonus +1 for background rolls. No matter how many background rolls you make you can only get the mechanical benefit of one of those Background rolls. Those benefits apply to one of your Derived Attributes. You always start with a 1 in your attributes. Skid would start with a 1 in Fellowship even though it is not listed with the archetype. The difference between Goals and Objectives...Goals are from the Background rolls and gives you a mechanical bonus to one of your derived attributes. Objectives are rolled at the beginning of each session if you accomplish the goal during the session you are awarded with a Wrath Point. Azrael is probably "only" 7 and a half feet tall, but also probably 5 feet wide and weighing in at over 600 pounds of steely muscle, bone and gristle. The DN 3+ Awareness check passed by Britannicus would have resulted in 5 Glory Points! From shifting and from the 6 on the Wrath die!

[@lemsdarkapprentice2535]

@2:06:15 = sharp incisors for Joe = I imagine in his previous life before the Ordo, he's the being who makes the old data punch cards for computers, sits behind a desk all day biting into pieces of cardboard.😆

This is why I have 3 armies on tabletop as well the entire Horus Heresy which is 58 book and all the Primarch novels as well as 40 other 40K novels. I also have 3 Deathwatch characters that I play with, several Dark Heresy Characters and dozens of Only War characters for the Imperial Guard. 40K is my favorite universe followed by Cuthulu mythos and then Halo.

Just a note from the beginning. Pretty sure DND predated Warhammer by 13 years, but ok. Tunnels and trolls was actually the first rpg game published but again, I digress.

[@ForgetfulRiver]

At minute 33:00, is that the Broken Token paint shelving? It looks very similar, and it's making me jealous - I have their Gloomhaven box already, saving up for the paint shelves. (Renovating the house at the minute and don't even have a paint room, but soooooon)
