Hail and Greetings. I had an awesomely bad idea to make "flyer" things and use them to annoy friends, family and strangers alike. Commencing gibbering, the Dork Side Prevails!
Hey, you! You like miniature games? Play Mage Knight, where you can conquer all manner of household surfaces and appliances. This game is fast and loose with the terrain, so go for broke. This is a game where your army of trolls and wizards can defend the Toaster of Crispy Doom from some orcs and a freakin' Chernabog made from Jell-O.
Hey, like Warhammer Fantasy, but now the game is dead and you're upset? BOO HOO HOO! Mage Knight has been dead for close to two decades, and you can still get a 2000 point army for less than most regiment boxes. And you don't have to paint the things. Do you suck at painting, I do! Play Mage Knight!
Hey, you like sweet magic killbots and wizards that kill stuff with mind bullets and guns that make your enemies extra crispy. Get some Atlanteans, and no, we don't get the Babylon 5 hairdos either.
Hey, you like Rogue One and kickass rebels that don't let being a do-gooder get in the way of being a total badass? Get some Black Powder Rebels and fight for freedom, dwarfiness, and guns. Lots and lots of guns! Chant louder, cause Marcus can't hear you!
Like elves? Elves are pretty cool, y'know. Get some Elemental League where you can preserve nature and chill with some pixies and unicorns and GIGANTIC KLINGONS THAT TOOK CAPTAIN PLANET AND CONAN THE BARBARIAN AND PUT THEM INTO A BLENDER AND MADE IT THEIR RELIGION. Mage Knight trolls are awesome.
You like Skyrim? How about Skyrim style muderhobos that are actually Dragon People and tear about the countryside looking for XP so they can evolve like Pokémon into even more badass Dragon People. Draconum are like Draconians from D&D but better. Play Mage Knight and have an army of dragon-y adventure-y goodness.
Like vampires, but the kickass gothic creatures of doom and none of that angsty BLEH I HAVE A DARK SECRET SPARKLE SPARKLE I NEED TO GO WHINE ON TUMBLR BLEH horsecrap. Get some Dark Crusaders. No emo crap here, just lots of evil vampire knights, goth bondage elf chicks, and lots and lots of shuffling undead. Let us got out this evening for pleasure, Mage Knight is still awesome.
Like orcs? We got you covered, and they are awesome giant Mongols that have awesome steeds like dinosaurs and evil chocobos and stuff. They tear about the place, and actually know more than FIGHTAN AND WINNIN (but they're still good at it). And then some lunatic gave them chainguns and guys that act like Mola Rom from Temple of Doom. Play Mage Knight and pillage stuff.
How about some classic High Elves. I love Knights Immortal. They're like sweet Lord of The Rings ripoffs that go about smashing evil and going back home for tea and tales about how they crushed the stinky human peasants into regretful stinky paste. Oh and they ride griffons. Griffons are awesome, play Mage Knight and get some Griffons.
And the best part, you can mix and match whatever you want. Do all sorts of crazy stuff like a desperate but gung-ho alliance of vampires and killbots fighting a crazy orc overlord and his high elf thralls.
...
Wow, glad that's out of my system.

Frequent Posts Are For The Weak
Hail and Greetings once again.
It has actually been a slow time for my Mage Knight group. We're currently working on doing some rotating hosting so we can have some bigger space to work with.
If things go well, and especially if I can remember to buckle down and do it, I should have some custom scenarios worked out soon. I'm going to start small, little games with extra rules and altered objectives and such-like, then perhaps a full campaign in the old Conquest style. It's not like I have somebody in the group that can field Mage Knight's answer to a freakin' end boss, and that it could be fun to use it as such. Oh wait...
I'm still working out some minor things, like how serious or silly I'd like the background fluff for everything to be. I'm definitely gonna ask the group for input on that front. I'll probably wind up with crazy stuff anyway, and we do enjoy it. I'm also definitely going to go for a 'sidestory' approach to the official Mage Knight fluff, leaving most of the story baggage aside for a (mostly) independent narrative.
Anyway, here's to more table conquering!
