Bruh I’m arguing for goth murder nuns wearing ornate outfits with bull horns and eagle wings.
Why are you Yes Anding this. It’s perfect.
You should check out trench crusade. I think you might like it
Truthfully would sooner see Night Elf Paladins. Since there is indication that they would have something through Elune.

Honestly I think it would be better to go with Cosmic themed Paladins over void, using star light as a way to bring in the Void Elves as well as the Night Elves and Nightbourne and could give us a 4th spec that would be inline with the Night Warrior story from Shadowlands.

Honestly too edgelordy for me. Cool ideas and I love that the creators ran off chuds but just an absurdly grimdark universe.
For comparison my favorite 40k game for awhile was when my Imperial Knights (I ain’t got that much spare cash) teamed up with the Tau to fight the Death Guard.
“Alright I don’t like you funny blue creature but you saved the peasantry and shot the demons so I guess we’re working together”

I play Black Templar in 40k and USED TO play bretonnians in fantasy
You can see where my Paladin influence comes from
Favourite game was playing against word bearers and shouting religious slogans back and forth
Trench crusade is… interesting? I like the twisted religious dogma on both sides as well as the suggestion that god is one of many lovecraftian beings out there, but honestly it seems like it’s in a one sided pissing contest with 40k to see who has more edge.
Lately I’ve just been super into light hearted Dnd campaigns instead.
Been playing the Alien RPG lately. Really fun sci-fi horror. And my GM was a genius because she lied and said we were going to be fighting zombies and generic gray aliens with blasters.
So we all wandered dick first into every single horror trope because you think you’re in a different genre. Also it’s fun because most of the builds are like logistics officer or sanitation technician. And yeah the Marine’s tasty in a fight but he can’t operate the ship. And when there’s 30 of them knowing how to open and seal a door is the most important skill imaginable.
Anyway highly recommend it.
That sounds dope, but the next rpg I wanna get into is call of Cthulhu, I’ve heard some dope things about it.
I’ll try the alien rpg one day tho. It looks amazing. Plus if I get a dm half as good as yours it’d really capture the vibe of how the alien series usually goes.
The other one I want to try is Vampire the masquerade but that’s because I’ve been watching Hunter the Parenting.
There’s so many versions of Call of Cthulu idk what version I played in college. But I distinctly remember my character was deliberately so stupid he couldn’t be affected by horrors beyond comprehension because he literally couldn’t even begin to comprehend them.
Just looking at a shoggoth like
“Oh that deer mighty sick”
There’s a running gag in my dnd group that my characters are either illiterate or alcoholics
It’s so satisfying when a curse affects everyone in the party who read an inscription other than me because I’m too stupid to know how to read common.
Also I’m stealing your CoC build I think
Genuinely welcome the alien RPG because you will feel this scene.
It’s got stuff like panic points which would typically annoy me. I don’t like it when I’m told how to feel instead of being you know; made to feel something.
But my GM’s great so I’m genuinely panicking and the dice rolls are just how much my character is keeping their ish together.
It was a fun build he was mostly combat oriented. Just a dull as dishwater mafia enforcer. Downside is he was useless everywhere else. Basically just an ogre who beat up hounds of Hastur going “This dog don’t look right”.
I’ll definitely give it a shot one day. Right now I’m playing crooked moon and running Strahd with an Appalachian/cosmic horror twist.
Im going to introduce Atropus but have the final fight as Strahd some how managing to merge with the avatar in order to break free of Barovia and terrorise the cosmos.
Give them silver light and trade out the clown hammers for moonglaives.
But I’m sure that’d confuse Ion in PvP so we can’t have nice things.

Omg I haven’t tried Crooked Moon yet but I love the advertisements and folk horror feel. Seriously that commercial is next level.
How weird is it though?
Idk my witch logic is you can’t defeat her without hair from the fifth child of her first husband. And then it turns out their already a skeleton so you use a tooth and hope for the best.
I love crooked moon. It’s like a throw back to old cartoons with some traditional horror elements, buts it’s also got its lighthearted moments.
I’m playing a plague born death cleric noble and my buddy is playing my barbarian man servant. Imagine black adder. Except I’m Percy and he’s baldrick
This would actually be perfect but we all know Blizzard will bend backwards like a pretzel to shove Void Elf Paladins into a hivemind wielders of The Holy Light.
Who needs race flavors when we can all be humans with different racial skins?
Last proper D&D I did was years ago. 5E and isn’t it terrifying I can say “Years ago” and mean 5E.
Had a Dark Elf Sorcerer named Bask Bronzebeard (wonder where I got that name). Found as a baby drow in a basket by a Dwarf adventuring team in the Underdark. His father named him Basket. Hence Bask.
Got a +1 to Dexterity since he had to instinctually know how to duck under doors in a dwaf town. But also crippling alcoholism for the same reason.
It wasn’t my intention when I made him but I essentially made;
My last character before Godfrey was a hormonal teenaged Dragonborn barbarian that I based off my brothers kid.
I wasn’t allowed to drink, I had charisma as my dump stat, and i had to have an adult accompany at all times when I was at an Inn. It was hilarious
Oh and I was illiterate
Another character in that group was a Wood Elf barbarian that thought she was a Ranger or Druid so kept trying to befriend animals but would then kill them when they attacked and would sob uncontrollably.
I wound up dating that woman for three years and I don’t regret it for a moment because that was an utterly hilarious character concept.
