How do I shot Kraken ?

About

“How Do I Shot Kraken?” is a popular catchphrase paired with an image of Lady Rogue Trader Armengarde, that is typically used in vox conversations to poke fun at a newbie's behavior.

Origin

The original image panel was first published in a 41184 issue of The Koronus Gazetteer, with Armengarde appearing in a promotional page asking for Adeptus  feedback on advertisements.  There are conflicting reports regarding the birth of “how do I shot Kraken?”, but numerous reference materials point to Ad-Mech forums’s “tech-lords-only”  server as the earliest known site of origin. According to firsthand accounts, it was originally quoted during a round of Imperial Selection, wherein the K-Nib enemies’ primary choice of weapon was shooting spider-webs. Out of sheer frustration, a newbie apprentice repeatedly asked “how do i shot Kraken?” in Low Gothic, which presumably meant “How Do I Shoot the Kraken.”  The earliest Crew-Tube sighting of the phrase was reported as early as  41203.

Spread

This grammatically strange phrase initially spread as an in-joke among Genetor  users who frequented the Xeno-Lore section, but reached across the boards on Tech-Heterocity, eventually reaching the Tech-Chan Board, where an image macro of Armengarde saying the phrase spawned hundreds of other pictures containing the phrase.

Reaction

None. Apparently no Ad-Mech has had the courage or need to bring this to Armengarde's attention, and they, as in-jokes. remain on vox networks where presumably she does not look.

Died and Went to Gamer Hell

What - is this 1992 ?   

"New" products on the game shelf consist of 

• Battle-Tech : Re-Vamped
• Shadow-Run : Re-Hashed
• Hero-Quest : Re-Dux

 And dribbling in nearby are Rifts (Necro Edition),
D&D Reanimated, and
Vampire (OMG why is that still alive)

It's like Microsoft bought out the gaming industry.

Values for Rogue Trader Units in 40K-RPG

Here's my followup work. I've corrected some of the math from previous ideas, so the 2 proceeding pictures should be considered beta previews. The data is for average baseline units, except the last few rows of specials.  This sheet can be quickly copied and modded to make Elites, Low-Tech, or what have you. The book says there are no low-tech Heavy Armor or Titans, but I've seen both Gargants and Wild Wild West, so I'm going to allow them. I'm also taking the suggestion that Anti-Air units (AK-AK) do half damage when forced into regular combat, and expanding that to say that Titans can also screen like AK-AK.

The data is from Battlefleet Koronus by FFG, for their quickie representation of mass combat in 40K style.

Kaledon Hunters for RTG

Based on the planet's position on the Galaxy Map,
I had worked the Kaledon Guards into the flavor text of
my Rogue Trader Campaign, House Windsor.

Now the players have relatively easy access to these guys,
and as part of the ongoing effort to make play aids
for RTG, these guys are among the first to be built.

Why do they call gamers "Geeks" ?

I can show you quite a few players that amass  
a massive amount of gaming books, 
miniatures, accessories, and dice. 
The collections can become quite impressive.











======================

I can show you dozens of players that know the rules to games. 

They can quote you chapter and verse from their favorite tomes of lore.

 ==========================

 

I can show you scores 

of gamers who are quite clever.

Their intellect and verbiage 

can seem quite extraordinary.

=================================================

Can you show me a gamer that is a pleasant person with which  to spend an evening ? That would be most impressive of all.

Pick one on the RPG net forum, please. I've got some old marines, some beakies, and I can't decide what scheme to have them painted for chapter colors. Of the thousands of chapters, I narrowed it down to these 12.

For my marines I want either a striking look, or a chapter idea that I like. I don't want any of the usual Ultra-Wolves or Raven-Scars run-of-the-mill garbage.  I already made up my own Chaos Chapter, so I want to have an existing one for my marines.
Legion of the Damned: the undead marines.
Mentor Legion: the high-tech marines.
Raptor Legion: in their original colors (White Dwarf 101)
Fire Hawks: in their original colors (1st edition)
Death-Watch:  love these guys after we played the RPG
Omega Chapter: fan chapter I like.
Vengeance Knights: aka Phoenix Knights. cool fan story bro.
Lupercal Knights: fan chapter, cool colors.
Gold Legion: fan-based "Gold Two"
Mortifactors: ancient chapter since like first edition
Brotherhood of a Thousand: love the name
Rogue Trader Field Police: kickin it old school.

The games I wanted to happen didn't, namely D&D with old friends,

or Rogue Trader. The pisser was that I had supplied miniatures to

the DM for a game he said he would run, and had a car-load

of miniatures and terrain for the RT game.

IN ANY CASE:

Some other guys had Dystopian Wars and we had a go at that.
