Some fluff to flesh out my thoughts on civilian life in 40k.

Just added another story

A quite good entry in fact! Well done!

Thanks! nice to know I'm not talking to myself here!

Added another story today - Justice for all, the Imperial justice system at work.

My favorite was "Justice for all"; that judge occasionally enjoys his job!

In all of them you really managed to get across the whole hopeless world vibe though, a great addition to dakkadakka's collection.

Thanks! I finished Crime and Punishment and started a new story. Let me know what y'all think.

Awesome stuff man. My favorite bit of all was the "sparkly mammories". You paint a pretty grim picture of the far future, No wonder so many people join the Guard and see the galaxy. Great job! can't wait to see what happens with Anil.

"Civilians! No fightin! Weedy Gitz all of yah! ****Whak, chop, hack!***

In der 40th somethin er other, der's only krumpin eads!

Jeeze it's been more than a month, I need to get back to that.

Oh and check out the smexy new sig plugging these articles.

Nice sig!

Hey I got an idea for ya. A servitor business that "recruits" from the poor quarter to make their top of the line servitors. Maybe some dude is out looking for a job and happens upon an ad for work and shows up to the interview and wakes up a servitor with a poorly executed mindwipe so he is still able to think he just cant do anything about it. and that happens... forever. kind of a tales from the crypt type of thing.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Today I added two new tales of romance in the grimdark future darkness.

Graduation Day
Dinner and a Movie

BE WARNED! These are smexy, smexy stories far far smexier than anything GW has ever published! They may be too much for fans of a delicate nature!

Great stuff. Dinner and a Movie killed me.

Those are pretty steamy stories. might need to tag them as NSFW.

The exposed ankles alone could get someone fired!

Hrm, just realized of all the stories not one would pass the Bechdel Test, and not one has a woman in POV role.

I wonder if that's just a legacy of GW's 'girl's are icky except amazons cause that's hawt' attitude (when I think of the 40k universe I think of about 100 things before I think of women) or is the fault in me.

Well easily fixed...

On to the next story.

Oy! Was you'ze foolin' us with that talk of steamy stories? I din't see no burna boyz nor any scorchas!

Wonderful article, Kid Kyoto! True to the spirit of the setting and drawing upon appropriate historical references. Depraved and decayed ones, that is.

The following piece of writing touch on the Baronial Guard on Kharib:



Securitate

I am glad to have found this article, an series of excellent glimpses in 40k life.
