I'd say pretty well. Worst thing that can probably happen to him is a Sunstalker accidentally hits him with red solar energy. Otherwise he gathers some survivors into a little habitat, jumpstarts them on some innovations, and teaches them they don't necessarily need a philosophy of death.

This is a good answer.

Redpill me on Kingdom Death?

Basically
>Ancient civilizations exist in the world, everything's decent and pretty nice overall
>Then one day, fucked up stuff starts cropping up and reality starts steadily growing more and more unnatural
>A bunch of forces collectively called 'Entities' fondle the threads of fate, turning the world into a grotesque menagerie where the ground (and sky) are made out of stone faces, and where unholy monsters roam
>All the ancient civs fall and are consumed by the Entities at this point, some futilely opposing them before the end
>Survivors (the 'human' characters) awake into this unnatural world, ink caked into their eyes. Most find themselves attracted to the dim glow of a Lantern Hoard, around which they build a settlement to stand against the encroaching darkness. Others are instead placed under the protection of one or more utterly unnatural patrons who protect them...for a cost
>Now they must fight against fucked up shit like weird living fruit in the forms of Antelope made up out of vagina mouths and human hands, giant parasitic face-stealing mosquitos, miniature glowing hell-mouths that act as the setting's 'suns' and more
>Universally, everyone dies and suffers at the end of it all, without fail
>Welcome to Kingdom Death

Wonder if he'd tried to make a city for Survivors to gather in. He's definitely a better patron than literally everything else in the setting.

This is a game isn't it? The plot smells like one.

Yeah, it's a tabletop game. Ridiculously pricey too. But the setting and lore is great, and there's a lot of passion behind literally everything in it.

Yes. A really bad game. It isn't even an uphill battle. It is a downhill slide that you might slow the descent down. It is very RNG heavy and often punishes you for doing well.

The whole point of the game is to be a dark and depressing fucking take. You aren't soem superhero, you're a barely-dressed pseudo-savage living off the scraps of a dead and dying reality, mere entertainment for the forces that dominate every inch of it.

If that wasn't apparent from the opening stuff alone, then it's really not the game for you.

I mean, that's what literally happens in Superman beyond, the page reduces itself to white canvas paper, and Superman persists.
Remember, humans might be bigger, but even a stray virus can kill us just fine.

Same user by the way.
Forgive my VS faggotry, but know anywhere I could actually read up on this setting? It actually looks really interesting, thanks for shedding light on it.

Everyone dies horrible deaths in KD.

Even Supes wouldn't survive the Overvoid, even Thought-Robot. That's very much the point there. That falling into the Overvoid is a cosmic L as it proceeds to digest you. Of course, Mandrakk eventually came back but that's mostly him being Mandrakk than anything else.

The only entity we've seen who has been able to actively endure and even manipulate the Overvoid (barring the Presence and Lucifer that one time) has been Perpetua. And she slapped everyone's shit when she decided she was bored of playing.

Where does one read the lore of this game? I've heard most humans in the setting are basically superhuman, but I'm unsure if I'm thinking of something else since no one has mentioned it yet.

Used to be that you could find a decent amount on the Vibrant Lantern website, but most of that is old as shit and has not only been eclipsed by newer lore, but is rarely brought up in more recent shit. Still a decent enough source to get a feel for things.

There's soem lore on the wiki for the game, which has bits and pieces, but the majority of the more 'compiled' stuff is unironically in the threads made on /tg/, like the one below.

Thanks user.

Would you recommend just buy the game if you're interested?
400$ but it does seem like you're getting your moneys worth.

If it helps, this is pretty much a meta-reason as to why a player can't just yell "I SUMMON SUPERMAN" and tank an entire campaign. Kingdom Death isn't the end of all stories, it's just a tragic one, so the Thought Robot wouldn't apply.

for the sake of this to not be an automatic "he loses, the end" kind of Go Fuck Yourself these kind of versus threads almost always descend into(see literally any versus thread that /tg/ ever has), we should probably be working off the assumption that Superman in this context is somehow immune to any "Meta" abilities any Kingdom Death entity has, they can only beat him through physical means, that evens the playing field by a lot and makes this a lot more interesting

Survivors in Kingdom Death are written into existence by the Scribe, at levels of and beyond peak physical performance. It's why they universally wake up with ink caked into their eyes and with turbo adonis bodies. They're all freshly written lines of text courtesy of the Scribe.

A pretty explicit thing in the setting is that the Survivors aren't actually human. They're monsters just like everything else, just monumentally weaker than pretty much all else, at least on their own. Still beyond any actual human in terms of raw physical strength.

Yeah, it's a good game. But at base, it might not shine as much as you'd like. Which is where the numerous expansions and extensions come in, which vastly lengthen the game and apply all kinds of crazy shit. Naturally, the price shoots up astronomically if you intend to get them all, including future ones.

I mean, with a strong enough and immortal Savior, you can basically MAKE your own Superman.
