The Horus Heresy story of their first Chapter Master is pretty boss. And the fact that Crimson Fists are THE Space Marines, regardless of how hard GW tries to champion the Ultramarines. They were on that bomb-ass metal cover for the original Rogue Trader, and no amount of retcons can take that away.
Truly if they were any more awesome, they'd be considered First Founding, and they'd deserve it too.
Now that the dust has settled, what are your final thoughts on Numenera?

Dust? What dust?
Anti-Monte's hate it, because Monte.
I actually read some of the fiction it springs from, and find the game a lot of fun to play or run.

we always had fights in Numenera threads back when the game was just a kickstarter dream

The system has a good concept with the dice pools, but is honestly kinda clunky with the precise execution.
Anyone else agree?
Elves and dwarves crop up all the time in fantasy settings. Halflings and orcs are considerably rarer. With the exceptions of D&D and Warhammer, halflings almost never show up despite being just as public domain. Orcs are more common, but still not as universal as elves and dwarves. Why is this?
because they're literally just midgets who sometimes have big feet depending on setting.
Because they're almost always just shorter versions of humans, same as gnomes with elves.
Halflings are not that interesting.
And you are wrong about orcs, they are sometimes fused with goblins and are called something different. But the concept of orcs is not rare
