Great writing as always, TS

Although this:

“Now that this step is complete… I can go talk to an old friend,” Ewryht'eikl murmured to himself, holding a small blood vial in his hand.

...is giving me a very bad feeling *shuffles away in the hopes of not getting daemon Aurelius'd*

Funny story actually, I still have more to write. I managed to get 3 pieces done on a single roll.

These jokes are in horrible taste, I hope you know that.

Daemon-Aurelius is making even more comebacks, and I don't even know what happened to the original. I might need to write something on that.

I'm going to work on that after the CoF. Don't worry.

I really need to figure out what my armies are doing. I've been so swamped with IRL work the last few weeks that I don't know what's going on anymore

so are we in chapter 3 now ? or are we still in the ending strech of chapter 2 ?

We still need the Gargant event posted. I don't want half the Crusade in gridlock for the next Act.

I will refrain from posting anything untill Act 3 then ( not that i have anything to post mind) as I think where my forces are at now is a fitting end to Act 2

Act 3? What's Act 3? Can I start it off with the Megalith?

The final act, my friend, kind of. That's when things get real.

Sounds like something somewhere is going to need need a Megalithic ramming.

I'm fairly disappointed in myself, my involvement in the Crusade post Cogger has been negligible. I just have so much to do, and when I have free time I have a thousand other things I like to do

I actually know how you feel

I don't know why, but all this talk about 'Act's' and gak has kinda got me disinterested. I'm kinda just sitting here, without half of the gak I want to get done, actually done, and I kinda don't want to do, or even start any of it due to fear of fething up someone's plans for the 'acts'.

I think they are just a way to try and organise the events into a general time frame Vanden, im sure messing up someone's plans isn't an issue. Hell thats what sets this forum apart from just writing your own story you have things which are out of your control and you have to react to them.

That's how I view this "project" at least

Honestly wish I could see it like that as well. But there's just something about it that kinda pushes me away. Oh well, I'll just take a break(Like I've been doing the past 3+ months) and check back here after a while.

Acts are timeframes in writing or a play. I need the Gargant thing posted so we can free up the majority of the Imperium forces present.

Can I run a not-warhammer story by my writer associates?

I can't see why not. We're all kinda-writers here.

Well Irish is just a bear so...


So I had this idea of a futuristic universe spliced with fantasy elements. After the discovery of FTL travel, the magical entities that have existed since the dawn of creation, the Salemites (witches) and the Vampires make themselves known and excommunicate the Federation of Earth. A couple hundred years later, the Federation of Earth has reorganized into the Federation of Puritans which has now grown out into the nearest systems closest to the Sol system and encompasses the newly formed Warlock Conclave, a guild of highly adept technomancers and the Lycanthropes, genetically altered half-human, half-wolves designed to hunt the Vampires. On the other end of the galaxy, the Black Fortress of the Vampires thrives equally thanks to its satellite systems governed by the Liches, Salemites desperately hanging onto immortality. Both factions hate each other with a passion and there are little who try and manipulate both factions for their own benefit.

Well Irish is just a bear who writes so...

Fixed that for ya

As for the story it does intrigue me, vampires and werewolves are not often brought to the futuristic setting which could be interesting

So it's futuristic Twilight?

 Sgt. Vanden wrote:

Nothing like that. Vampires don't feel love and don't procreate. Vampirism, at least in this universe, is a very old and very potent blood disease (conjured by a shaman from Prehistory). It deconstructs blood cells into stem cells and that allows Vampires to regenerate from grevious wounds and survive on very low oxygen, but makes them extremely susceptible to radiation, most commonly in the form of solar radiation.

So...It's a non-romantic Twilight?

True, i think I'm going to write some short stories when the semester loosens it's grip
