Inqtober 2026, day 27: Dice game proprietor
“Alright, with two 6s, that’s a couple of mortal wounds on Heritor Asphodel! He’s going to deal one back to you, but I think your Blessed Rose artifact saves you from your next serious injury roll! The Woe Machines are halted, and what’s left of Vervunhive is saved!”
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only wargames.
And where there are wargames, there will always be referees. Amanato Cerdidius is one such referee, training other players in the forbidden arts of multiclassing (“you’re playing a colonel AND a commissar? sure!”), power-gaming (“your Tanith Ninja sneak-attacks the dreadnought with plants? yeah, why not!”), and of course, Grim Darkness (“oh actually, the kids were possessed by daemons all along, they just butchered… hmm… 2d12 of your soldiers and 1d3 named characters”).
