02: Warhammer 40K Lore Development Part 1
from Laying Down The Lore: 40K · host Laying Down The Lore
In this, our second episode we look at the first two editions of Warhammer 40K. The setting launched with Rogue Trader where the setting was very much “of its time”, mid to high sci-fi with a comic book feel and the most convoluted, perhaps even fractured, ruleset which Dhar still loves. We explore the many ways in which the game evolved and look at the key releases and books. Second edition brought the lore to heel and brought in changes that made game-play much faster. This edition codified the lore of the 40K universe and introduced a cohesive historic storyline and ongoing narrative.Show notes Chat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermaster
