I'd argue that 40K very much is a kitchen sink setting: while there's the overall setting everyone's familiar with, it's quite explicit that every planet is wildly different in terms of culture, technology, organization, and physical makeup.

ReplyDeleteYou do now realise that now I am going to play Johnny Rochester as a bard, and since you've acquired the Book of Vile Darkness, it will be stupidly easy. Slightly evil bard, Disgraced Noble, etc. Oh, and I'm taking the epic destiny that makes him king. John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester, by the Grace of God, King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, etc.
ReplyDeleteSuck it, Charlie.
