Sounds like you have the wrong "friends"

Some of them anyway...

But there is a certain stigma attached to certain things, like being a gamer or whatever, and if you live in a certain place, then it's simply not convenient to own up to certain things. Most of the people I hang out with think I'm a certain kind of person, which is aces, and I'm fine with smaller number of people knowing the real me. I'm willing to bet there are certain aspects of yourself that you don't share with your gamer friends...

Not really, but then again sometimes I have a bad habit of oversharing stuff no else gives a **** about.

I think we've strayed off topic (though into what is perhaps another topic equally worthy of discussion). We should probably drag things back on topic.

So Fading Suns eh?

Diet 40k, I say. Not that subtlety and such in a setting is a bad thing, but it's hard not to love the brutish enthusiasm of the 40k universe. It's definitely kept GW at the top of the heap.

I tried to get into Fading Suns, but between the obtuse original system and the D20 variation, I just couldnt do it.

Read the fluff for it, but then got to ninja character classes and animal friends.

Its like Disney's 40K

I really loved the setting of Fading Suns. The system took some getting used to truth be told. However in the grand scheme of things to call it Disney's Version of 40k is a little off. Come on they have the symbiots that convert and mutate people in the most horrific ways, and they all seem to love it.

They have their inquisition and people cant even play board games or cad games, with one minor exception. Even movies are severely limited. And just like in 40k a psyker or cleric with too much Hubris can destory an entire world at the drop of the hat. Not this demonic incursion that happens in 40K.

As for the aliens, yes a lot of them are furries, but thats just because how many human like aliens can you have before they are more like sub-species of humanity?

What? Mickey Mouse and Michael Eisner arent scary enought for you? Id rather have a lunch date with Slaneesh!
