I've been getting new followers every day since the election so I figured I ought to do a bit of an introduction thread. Hiii, my name's Sally! I'm a queer and Jewish video essayist making videos about 40k and other tabletop games. You can find my work below!

I've been writing a Trench Crusade video that I've needed to massively rewrite like three times in the last few months because of how quickly the release cadence of new patches has been recently. So I think I'm just gonna shelve it and make something sillier and more fun.

I've been playing a lot of Vermintide 2 recently so of course my zoomer brainrotted ass had to make a tier list. The list is for all the different careers but I don't think a binary letter grade system is good enough because Vermintide 2 is a very nuanced game.

I feel like I'm in that one scene in the Hellsing Ultimate Abridged series where a bunch of Jews pretended to be Catholic so that they could join in on killing the vampire nazis invading London.

my parents showed me D&D when I was 4 years old and almost as soon as I had the brainpower to I was doing stuff like writing up my own races and classes. And as early as age 7 I was doing stuff like combining bits from different board games to make new games. I was basically doomed.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum
(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

I feel like the Herbert Estate is leaving a lot of money on the table by not having a licensed Dune 28mm wargame. Imagine how much money they'd make selling multipart plastic kits for a Dune miniatures game. I know CMON made a strategy board game that has miniatures, but it's not quite the same.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Trench Crusade 1.01 came out and seems to include mostly positive changes though I find it a little puzzling that they further buffed Assault weapons? Now you cannot fire after swinging and retreating from melee unless the gun is Assault. Which is... Like holy shit. Stop buffing Assault Weapons LMAO

The Hawks of Allah are my Iron Sultanate warband in the campaign I'm currently running at my two local game stores. We meet twice a week to play games of Trench Crusade. We're at the halfway checkpoint of the campaign so while I wait for people to catch up, I've been painting my soldiers up.

Got some great work on Trench Crusade minis tonight. Currently playing Iron Sultanate in this campaign, and I've come up with a scheme I really like for them.
In the center is Djamila, my Alchemist with a machine gun who has been my MvP every game so far.

I think this happens a lot more than people would think. Mainstream and even independent media coverage on culture war issues often cede to the framing of the right-wing weirdos and acts as though they are this kind of venerable vanguard party, when usually they're the new kids in town.
Valve understands that gay trans people buy video games and right-wing weirdos just watch Asmongold streams and dump their income on Kirsche’s Throne
Let me just say that Valve really knows their audience by picking these two as poster children for the Steam Machine:

I specifically waited until the 1.0 rules for Trench Crusade came out before I kept making videos about it and continuing my faction guide series but I'm gonna be so forreal even though they said 1.0 wasn't going to have major rebalances I now feel like my previous faction guide videos are outdated.

Zohran Mamdani is the first politician I've seen in my life who's aware of the fact that campaigning and speaking to your constituents doesn't end on election night. I love that it seems like he's committed to talking to his people even after he won the election.
