El Estrago Bonito posted:Yeah this was a thing that had to always be pointed out when I was teaching people about the Dark Ages. The Vikings technically owned slaves but due to how poor most people were and how the legal code treated slaves you actually might have it better off as a slave since the law required that your owner feed and clothe you, so often you'd get food when, for instance, your owners kids wouldn't. They also had different levels of slavery, where you had slave slaves and indentured servants. Slaves often had it better off in strange ways because of how Viking society perceived a sense of honor. If you were a slave, especially one from far off lands you were often better regarded than some indentured servants because you weren't forced into servitude by dept or family pressure but instead had to be taken by force. Indentured servants were common as well, often a single household would have several bondsmen bound to it's leader, but there was an intricate web of how honorable of a bondsmen you were based on exactly how you became an indentured servant (pledging your sword to a strong leader = very honorable and noble, your dad owed money to a guy so he gave him his 15 year old son = bad for your parents, not terrible for you since you were now essentially a surrogate son of a more powerful guy, tribe got beaten up by the household owners tribe = a horrible lowlife dirtperson is you). The other thing about Dark Ages and Ancient slavery was that it was an economic necessity. Colonial and American slavery was more about producing luxury items like cotton and sugar whereas a earlier slavery was more about producing enough food to keep the household alive and maybe give the landlord enough time to gently caress up Reeve Shithead in the next county over. The industrial revolution was a hell of a thing is what I am saying. At least we don't live in the Grim Dark Future of the Battletech universe...

I mean if chicken teddy was made by someone I knew, who wasn't selling it on craigslist, who didn't refer to chickens as having duplicate parts, who assured me he used edible materials, and was cooked to an internal temperature of 165 deg. I would enjoy chicken teddy.

bulletsponge13 posted:I told my wife about the nerds losing their poo poo over Kid's First Book of Grimdark. The way to rope in kids is have them painting minis and playing games. They'll read the books because they like the game, not the other way around. Also a little grimdark is good for kids. I'm reading a series about Occupied Holland with my son right now, and the plight of the little Jewish boy doesn't have a lot of gravity if death camps don't exist. (I can't wait until he discovers the After the Bomb genre from the 80s.)

The 2 books that hang with me from being that age are one where a boy has his personality programed into a robot replica as a way of traveling over lightyears only to discover that the aunt he is visiting is actually a replica controlled by someone (I don't.remember who. They were after her will) The other is I am the Cheese by Robert Cormier where it starts out as a travel story of a kid biking through Massachusetts but it is eventually revealed he is biking in circles in the yard of a mental institution trying to deal with effects of brain damage incurred in a car accident that was part of the assasination of his parents. The problem isn't that the books are Grimdark since the best kid lit is as well, it's that that kind of stupid dark wrecks a kid's willingness to read the kind of books that makes good adult readers. At least that's my concern, not the stupid things nerds are bringing up.

SiKboy posted:Honestly, as long as a kid is reading something they enjoy (and it's broadly age appropriate obviously), I don't think there is a wrong book for them. Most of he adults I know who read grew up reading their share of unbelievable trash. Yeah, you're right to a point. I did to, but I think in retrospect I'm glad I had more challenging books mixed in with the Dragonlance. So: WH40k is not really too dark for a 8-10 year old The lore is not going to convince anyone to play the game There's probably better books for kids to read at that age It's fine, stop freaking out nerds! Cool. That's my reasoned position then. Thanks for that thread.

Ilor posted:To be fair, the skull-and-crossed-bones symbol has been an emblem of cavalry units dating back to the Napoleonic era. All German tankers had the skull-and-crossed-bones pins on their lapel tabs. But it's easy to confuse it with the Totenkopf division, especially if you're unaware of the symbol's earlier use. That confusiuon (and the resulting backlash) is what led to the re-design of the front cover of TFL's "What a Tanker" rulebook. That particular skull deign was created specifically for the SS. There have been a lot of totenkopfen in history, they can use one of those and it's no problem. That said, I don't think it was intentional.

BattleMaster posted:You're not wrong, if someone at the store I was playing at showed me this I'd make sure I wasn't followed home (I'm a woman though), but bondage isn't a kink? This feels different though? Like it feels more violent. Like I said I might just be in a weird state of mind today, but kingdom death and even the infamous Eldar diorama had an air of sexuality to it, that's missing here.

" because the idea of camoflauge was so trendy and new.
