Terve Suomalaiset!

My buddy Mark is about to start a 2-month apprenticeship in Kouvola, Suomi, obvsly doesn't know anyone there, and wants to know if there's something like a tabletop gaming club in or near Kouvula. Blood Bowl, 40k, other Warhammer and even MtG, he's game. He's friendly and likes a laugh, 100% Erik™ approved :verified:

🔁 Retoots will be much appreciated!

"God, what have you done?
You're a Genestealer boy, and you fight at the club," oh mama
I'm just having fun
On the spire in my flak, it's where I belong, down at the
Genestealer Cult, I'm gonna keep on fighting at the
Genestealer Cult, I'm gonna keep on fighting down in
West Vigilus, I'm gonna keep on fighting at the
Genestealer Cult, Genestealer Cult

@cstross You're half-joking I presume, but is that something you seriously think about? "That" being the possibility of your fiction (or parts thereof) being used by real-life people as a blue-print? The repeated exhortations by Games Workshop that #WH40k and the Imperium of Man are a *satire* of fascism and aren't actually a cool thing meant to be emulated seem to be a case in point for authors losing control of their narrative (even though the comparison is a bit weak as GW is not a single author and they make tons of money with the #SpaceMarine games which seem to mostly gloss over the geno/xenocidal nature of the Imperium and of its servants).

Rofl, In most #wh40k books everyone is scared of the navigators and dont hang out with them but to the Night Lords a navigators sanctum is the spot to chill and the legion serfs are just all there talking about "she's so relatable and cool." Is the most "to the Joker Crazytown is Normaltown" thing I have seen yet from this setting. Ave Dominus Nox I guess.
