• Bpen loves making Shout Outs to other works. So many that the list has its own page.
• The Genre Busting of Shinji and Warhammer 40K. What is it all about, really? Well...
  • ...it's about a kid, who once completely lacked a backbone, discovering a tabletop game that gives him a totally new outlook on life, which in turn causes him to...
    • Be far more self-assured in his interactions with others;
    • Inspire nearly everyone around him to overcome personal limitations that they thought they had;
    • Bring fervent hope back to an entire planet on the verge of either a new dark ages or worse;

    • Take on, and ultimately defeat, a cabal of ancient conspirators at their own game almost before they realize he's playing it;
    • Redefine the boundaries of known quantum, temporal and paradimensional physics, including changing the past without time travel or time paradoxes (probably)...and insodoing, defy reality-warping space monsters with degrees of reality-warping that blow the monsters minds;
    • Willfully create stable time loops;
    • Give psychological counseling and/or necessary ass-kicking to another version of himself from an alternate universe wherein none of this ever happened;
    • Move dangerously close to forging humanity, as a whole, into a trillions-strong fighting force capable of holding back the endless hordes of Eldritch Abominations that would otherwise obliterate it without a second thought;
    • And inspire the Emperor of the Penguin species to reach for his people's ages-old dream of joining the other avians of the world in being capable of flight.
  • ...among other things.
