Is it a relatively new movement, or a local movement? Would Admund or the party have heard about New Millenialists before?

It seems to be new. You've seen their posters twice before, in Elsterweld and in Middenheim. Here are both:

Mutants take over The Empire!
The recent proclamation from our beloved imbecilic Emperor
(he of the fat breeches and deficient brain)
has turned The Empire into a breeding ground for mutants!
Mutants are to be elevated into positions of power in an effort to make our lives worse!
Show your disgust!
End Chaos!
End political tyrany!
Freedom for all good people!

PEOPLE of THE EMPIRE!
For too long the RICH and NOBLE have OPPRESSED you!
RISE UP and tear down the mansions of the powerful!
Throw off your shackles! Knock the whip and the sword from the hands of the mighty!
Let JUSTICE be done upon the lords!
The NEW MILLENNIUM is coming! The AGE OF THE PEOPLE!

Klaus had actually been asked to investigate them, as Max will explain.

Ah, ok I remember these. Didn't realized they were linked. Just thought disgruntled peasants often hang angry posters up.

Most peasants can't read, of course! Though that's beginning to change as printing becomes more common.

All thanks to Johannesburg Gutenberg!

Errm... I mean Johann Guttensteinmann, the Warhammer version.

I'm drinking a crisp apple cider while I type my post. I think Rufus talking about cider frequently is getting to me.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11381 on:** December 17, 2014, 11:37:05 AM »

Oh, good! Cider is nice.

I've updated the Marienburg objectives list to include the New Millenialists (previously a secret objective for Klaus!).

Revolution! Storm the Imperial Palace!

Going to see the last Hobbit Movie. I know it's going to disappoint me, but I have to see the final movie so I can complain about it on internet forums.

Heinrich would have torn down the poster, out of principle, but nobody read it to him, so he didn't know what it said!

herpderprich.

It's not just one book stretched into three movies that's a populist misconception because they also included atories from the Silmarillion and the appendices so there's roughly the same amount of material as LOTR trilogy falalalalala.

Saw the new movie with my fiancé last night. It was a fun action movie. At this point it's not worth arguing how accurate it is to the books. Peter Jackson had to take a lot of story plots and tie them up in this movie. It felt like we were rushing from fighting the fight scene. I noticed they actually cut a lot of scenes they had showed in the trailer, which I know is not uncommon, but I wonder how much this movie had to be cut down to even fit within three hours.

The first hobbit movie, the first quarter of it of the movie was dedicated to setting up the plot, with Frodo making an appearance. compared to return of the King, with its five endings, this movies ending felt a little abrupt.

I only saw the first movie in 3-D, but I would think the visual effects were really top-notch. Orc heads were flying everywhere

I thought the action sequences in the first two hobbit films were boring. Reminiscent of bad computer games. 'Trick Smaug into lighting the furnace' was especially computer-gamey!

Hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas week! Cheers to you and your loved ones

Thanks Karl! Merry Christmas to all my players!

Christmas break = over! I'm hoping to carry on with the game now.

Is Heinrich the Bowman up for felling an evil beastie?

Sorry about the delay. I was sure I had some info on Bokel somwhere, but I couldn't find it. I've ended up drawing a rough map.

So is Heinrich intending to scout around outside the town?

Not sure if I remember my Warhammer religion fluff. Admund was raised Sigmarite in the more cosmopolitan Carroburg, so I don't think he'd be too Ulricy. He doesn't have anything against Ulric though. So I think he'd just watch and look around at the shrine.

Also, props to Rufus for hand drawing a map!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11399 on:** January 09, 2015, 11:15:56 AM »

It's entirely up to Admund which gods he feels closest to!

Thanks! It was quicker than trying to draw one on the computer. I think having a map makes the place feel more real.
