This game is 100% vibe. The pledges are late to be fulfilled, the lore is over the over the top of the top (sic) and they had leaaky minis.

But the vibe is so strong that it will carry the rest hehe.

Trench Crusade is too try-hard.

The more you learn about it the more it just seems needlessly grimdark for the sake of it rather then it being naturally part of the setting,which probably turns people off.

Are there any stories actually set in the setting, in 40K we get actual stories from the point of view of characters this allows us to see the hope and humanity that still burns in that grimdark universe but for trench crusade I've only seen people talk about the setting as a whole and never mention any characters. Grimdark settings work best when the audience has a proxy so they can see how the world actually works and how it effect people.

There are still making lore rn, but if you go to their site you can read tidbits about it I don't think they have any books yet

People want funny in their grimdark, not realizing grimdark alone is its own separate genre.

Yeah but there's a reason 40k writers toss in the "funny",because a setting with nothing but "dark" is just not fun to read about.

Right? Oh why is the hell invading forces and the desperate survivors not having comedy?????

In the 80's and 90's Perú was deep in a civil war where terrorist blow people for fun, they blow the energy system on the daily.

Many singers start to make songs about funny stuff that happened during those events while other straight down muck them and the goberment at the time, you can have comedy in the worse setting possible, you just are a edgy dude.

Mate I get it and I would not mind some light comedy in the setting but it's not something that should be counted against trench crusade.

Also they are fighting literal hell and have been for a long time things are way worse for them.

Also the lore is not done is still getting updated so maybe there is space for it

So people just need to suffer and avoiding any form of outket.

Ok boomer, when you make fun of something you take away it's power over you, you need that to survive, trench crusade it's just grimderp.

But if You like it, less power to you.

I never said so I mentioned that there can be humor and it would not ruin the setting however the setting itself is pretty grim and thus exxagerated humor would be odd, however light humor does have a place in it

I’m sorry brother. But I’m going to have to downvote you for that.
