Also if you take a ttrpg, cut it into pieces, and bury one in your brain eventually it'll grow into a whole new ttrpg.

Somehow got it in my head that I should have a favorite space marine chapter and I think it's really coming down to who does Knights on Bikes best.

Round 1 of using the Cairn 2e warden's guide to build out a setting. Feeling good about the 6 factions and map, especially for doing everything in pen.

Up next: fleshing out factions and roads.
