Necromunda the game returning...BL Books?

[Felix Antipodes]

My mistake.  Those novels came out in 2019-2021, so I assumed they came out before the latest edition of Necromunda.  They were probably victims of the “if it ain’t space marines I ain’t buying it” mentality that seems to rule over BL sales.  To be fair though, only Sinner’s Bounty by Josh Reynolds lingers in the memory.  I will have to add the others to the re-read pile.

It does seem like it is only Space Marines books that sell sufficiently for them to continue with series.

Nothing more from crime, or Necromunda since.

"Sinner's Bounty" was great, but the other necromunda books I read weren't up to par save maybe "Terminal Overkill".

 

I think Necromunda works best when there is comedy involved. The setting and rulebooks lend themselves to it.

 

The short story before "Fire Made Flesh" had this gem:

Quote

 

‘You sure? We’ve had outages before.’

‘That was under your previous contract with the Mercator Pyros. Now that your power is provided by the Mercator Lux there will be no further shortages. Providing you pay your bill.’

‘And how do we resupply?’

‘You don’t resupply,’ Sol sighed, irritation creeping into his voice. ‘The factorum is now powered by a solar array. So long as the sun burns, the machines will run.’

 

The foreman grunted, clearly dissatisfied. [...] 

‘What happens when the sun is gone?’ he said.

‘I’m sorry?’

‘I know the sun goes away at night,’ the older man continued, a smug smile staining his face. ‘I might not have been outside the hive, but I’ve heard stories. What am I supposed to do when there is no sun?’

‘The sun doesn’t… At night the factorum will run off the spare capacity harnessed during daylight,’ Sol replied, swallowing his frustration. 

‘And if it doesn’t come back?’

‘If the sun stays dark?’

‘Exactly.’

Sol sighed. ‘I can only assure you that in the event of the sun disappearing, running this facility will not be your prime concern.’
