Editing Anarchy Reigns (section)

==So What the Fuck Does This Have to Do With /tg/?==

[[File:AnarchyReigns40K.png|400px|thumb|right|There is ''nothing'' that [[/tg/]] will not try to blend with [[Warhammer 40,000]]. [[My Little Pony|NOTHING]].]]

From the moment Anarchy Reigns was released, /tg/ ''was already talking about it''. 

As has been said, [[/tg/]] likes itself some [[Gamma World|post-apocalyptic wargaming]], it likes it some [[Fist of the North Star]], and it has a time-honored tradition of [[/tg/ gets shit done|getting shit done]] to accomplish. Much neckbeardy goodness was discussed involving Anarchy Reigns' characterization, story, and potential ease of adapting a [[d20 Modern|d20 Future]] or [[GURPS]] campaign to it.

And then, one [[fa/tg/uy]] proposed a variant for [[Dark Heresy]].... 

...[[Derp|And nothing was ever the same]].

Suffice to say, creativity was immediately stirred, as is the case for almost every homebrew /tg/ has ever made. /tg/'s legions of [[Drawfag]]s got to work re-imagining the cast of Anarchy Reigns as 40K characters, came up with fitting backstories for each, and quickly discerned that there was potential to be had here for greatness, by taking the game's home story and adapting it for something that it was never intended for.

In the [[Warhammer 40,000|grim darkness of the far future]], Rogue Trader Jack Cayman and Imperial Captain Leonardo Victorion enter a campaign to try to bring down an Imperial General who has fallen to Chaos. What ensues is a hilarious concept that immediately lent itself beautifully to an inordinate number of ideas, from following an adapted plot of the game, to using the game's framework to set up an entirely different and equally-awesome plot all its own, such giving some of the various cast members ulterior motives in the plot, such as Durga and Garuda's [[Tau]] analogues being the vanguard for a much larger offensive by a Tau sept, analyzing a planet for potential absorption into the Tau Empire. Yet another variant had the players come in as a "after the initial contact" force, dealing with the aftermath of one of the major character showdowns and trying to get control of a situation spiralling out of control.

Mostly, though, it was an excuse for [[/tg/]] to get creative and [[Matt Ward|exclude the Ultramarines, Grey Knights, and Blood Angels]]. And in the long run, isn't that worth a thread in and of itself?
