After seeing the new Star Wars, I started thinking: how would you do the lightsaber in fantasy? Now, I don't mean how you'd literally just implement the lightsaber mechanically, but how you'd best represent the flavor it brings.
What I mean by this is that the lightsaber, especially in the original movies, represents something different than just a powerful weapon. As Obi-Wan puts it, it's an "Elegant weapon, for a more civilized time." To me, the lightsaber was always this powerful, distinctive weapon of a mysterious, distinctive order of...

Make 'em Divine. They're powered by the innate divine spark of the wielder. Feeding that spark or growing closer to it? Understanding the true nature of the divine gives more power to your spark and thus your sparkblade.
Have an order of paladins that wield glass swords that when wielded by a normal person, break like normal glass but when wielded by a paladin trained by this order, are deadly weapons.

Make any weapon have tyhe following
Flashy, eye catching and conspicuous
Impractical, but somehow defeats a weapon that should by all rational beat it
Dangerous to the wielder, unless they have plot armor
Its like Excalibur, that lights up and reflects arrows back at the opponent who shot them, by swinging it wildly, and needs psionics to wield properly without slicing yourself in half
What... The fuck... Happened?
Seriously folks, I've been away for a couple years. WTF happened to my orks?

Have Orks really changed that much? I don't see why you'd be annoyed unless you compared it to the other codices, in which case, why don't you tell us what happened? You clearly have something you want to say and I guess you're trying to start a discussion, so go ahead. What's gone bad with the Space Orks?

Asking a question without telling people what the question actually is is a pretty dick move.
Hope you get cancer.
In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium there is only war. Imperium of Man, once strong and proud, now is slowly crumbling, whole regions of space are lost to the horrors that lurk in the darkness of the void. Sector Deus is just one of the thousands of Imperial provinces that form the front line in the war to defend Humanity itself. Corruption from within and aggression from without threaten it. But the Emperor sends us hope. High Lords of Terra commissioned a Chapter of Adeptus Astartes, finest warriors Humanity has ever seen, to defend this region of space. They are the...

[Currently Chapter is investigating destroyed merchant convoy in the space border region where techpriests of Mandel and corporations of a young world called Hender are competing for power.

You are still required to do the following:
+Roll d100 for Trianon to inspect the remains of the convoy [he is the leading person in the operation and thus while he may have some technoadepts working under him, it will be him who will interpret their findings]
+Resolve this issue:
The warp travel to Solstreim is quiet and easy, however arrival is quite disappointing. When Geron and his brothers land on the planet, it appears that Xyptus has gone missing. His usual channels are dead, all of the leads are cold. There's only one real way to reach him and that...

Your name is Thomas Cairn, and you were finally starting to get your life figured out. That is, until you managed to blow it all up. You're dad left you a legacy as the Red Rider, and you carry it as the Red Knight, a hero for a modern age. You had your own company, a suit of power armor, an AI assistant, even a girlfriend. You had a great life. Then an unlucky invention put an end to that. It was just supposed to even out some pressure systems, you didn't know it would end up blowing up like Independence Day.
In a flash of blue light, your life was stripped...

You sit in the plain white lab, no clue where exactly you are, but you feel less confused now. These guys could be tricking you, but at least they have no reason to harm you, otherwise they would have already. Maybe they want your inventions, that could be why they gave you the lab, though they said it was for recreational use after physical therapy each day. They certainly know what someone like you needs for their work, this place is kitted out.
Despite a lack of any volatile chemicals, there are a few ideas you've been tossing around in your head that don't...

Work on regenerative therapy
This could go oh so wrong but it'll be good for us.
