This satisfied my itch for Pratchett and Warhammer, thank you.

If you have to ask keeneetaa, you’re streets behind

The setting is a quiet suburban town where an ordinary high school student named Yuji has an unusual hobby of collecting Warhammer 40k miniatures. He spends most of his time painting and customizing his figures, and has earned a reputation as the best miniature painter in the area. One day, Yuji receives a strange visitor in his bedroom, and is shocked to find that it is none other than Death himself.
"Yuji, I'm tired of playing chess," Death moans. "Everyone always challenges me, and I always win in the end. I want to mix things up a bit this time." He points to the shelves filled with Yuji's meticulously crafted miniatures. "Let's play a game with these."
Yuji is hesitant at first, but Death offers him a deal. If Yuji wins, he will be granted a wish of his choice. If he loses, Death will take his soul. Yuji accepts the challenge and they begin the game.
As they play, Yuji realizes that this is no ordinary game. The miniatures on the board come to life, and he is suddenly immersed in a bloody and violent battle. The stakes are high, and Death proves to be a formidable opponent, unleashing powerful and deadly moves with ease.
Despite the odds against him, Yuji manages to hold his own, using his strategic mind and clever tactics to turn the tide of the battle. With a final stroke of his brush, he makes a daring move that leaves Death reeling.
Death concedes the game, and Yuji is granted his wish. Overwhelmed by the experience, he wishes to be able to bring his miniatures to life and live in a world where they are real. The wish is granted, and Yuji is transported to a world where he is hailed as a hero, and his miniatures are his companions and fellow warriors.
As he stands among them, he realizes that he has found his true calling. He becomes a master of strategy and tactics, leading his army of miniatures to victory after victory. And with Death by his side as a loyal ally, Yuji knows that he can conquer any challenge that comes his way.

So, to "keeneetaa" basically means to easily communicate?

Well that just restores stamina at cost of the natural regeneration rate, not health.

I dunno about cheese. But I have a feeling he kept one of each booze he found.

Simple, but effective.
What would you rather have, some rich aristocrat to whom you are just an irrelevant spot not worthy of actually protecting, but worth enough to extort, or the giant lizard who would actually live closeby and be actually involved...

This HAS to be Discworld's version of Death, right?

The important question, how many cheese wheels does Dovahkiin have in his inventory?

This has so much realism! I used to own a shop and one of the guys that worked for me had been playing since the 80s with his cousin and so i built them a huge table to play at. One of my friends was a lot like your stories main character, he had collected and painted multiple armies and knew all the lore he just could never find anyone to play. Long story short with those three coming up and playing nearly every day and being fantastic and enthusiastic teachers we built one of the largest followings in the south east. We ended up running one tournament that spanned months because we had so many players. It was awesome. I too am now alot like your main character. I was always too busy running things to play but my interest was piqued for sure. I have several armies and keep up with their codex changes but have noone to play with

Occasionally get random dragon ideas, and since I am garbage at writing, why not see what others come up with?^^

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] Gregnok is both your worst assassin, and the best. They have never managed to sneak into any location, but at the same time, they've never actually failed at killing the target, so you can't actually fire them. But they're also awful for your guild's reputation. by Red580
Who says an assassin has to be sneaky? As long as they kill their target, job well done. Just send Gregnok on jobs where it's not an issue.

"Yes lord dragon sir!" The mayor said. "We agree to your terms effective immediately." He was a short gnome, and by this I mean a gnome who is considered short among other gnomes.
The dragon looked around suspiciously. It was too easy. Since when people surrender to 100 feet long fire breathing flying lizard without few arrows and shouts?
He was deep in his thoughts when he realized he is surrounded by hundreds of town folks. "What is this? An ambush! I see, so you choose to fight at last. Stupid but honorable choice! So be it!"
One of the people, an elder, replied fast: no my lord. We brought you presents!
Dragon's eyes became ten times wider. "What? Presents?"
Yes! Elder answered. "There are cows, sheep, a few barns full of food, and even (a young beautiful elven girl came forward holding a lute) our most talented bard!"
"but...oh...wha..." The dragon was mumbling when the mayor interrupted him: lord dragon sir! Can you sign this treaty? It is just a formality!
"Okay. Tell me what's going on before I set this whole place on fire!!" "Well lord dragon sir..." Mayor started: "around a year ago this young man came to our beautiful little town. A real scum. He kept drinking in a bar for three days straight. Then refused to pay or leave. We sent guards to arrest him but he annihilated every single one of them. We hired mercenaries, assassins, even giants, but he kept beating them up. No one can match him. What a scum. "
"What is has to do with me?" Dragon asked.
Well (mayor was hesitant to say.) We thought maybe you lord dragon sir, surely you can defeat this criminal and restore the rule of law. We are begging you sir. Be the our ruller!!
Sure this tiny mortal could not match his might. dragon thought. And it felt like the mayor was telling the truth. "okay, where is this criminal. I will bring him to justice!"
He is still at the inn drinking. Just south of the town. You can't miss the building. Look for someone called Dovahkiin!

Ahh, now we see your reason behind the prompt!
Thanks for this, it was a fun one.

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] The Knight was sent to slay a dragon. However, he soon realised it was no the dragon keeping princess in a tower. It was the evil princess holding a female half hunan-half dragon person captive on a chain. You must free the dragon. by Super_RedditBro
Isn't this the plot of, like, half the Fire Emblem games?

Perfect XD
Probably any dragon's reaction to meeting me I suppose....

Could you do a part 2 but with them actually battling? I'd love to read that!

I just thought I would add that I came up with this after watching a video about primates being taught sign language and I learned that, other than humans, none of them seem to be able to ask questions. Interrogative statements are just not something their brains can grasp.

Reply to comment by SR_Z3R0_ in [WP] Excited for a blind date with Alan, you marked the wall calendar on 25th Feb with "Alan, blind, 1230pm". That Saturday, you went to restaurant and greeted with a commotion. A waiter then informed you that a guy named Alan has suddenly became blind. by seederbeast
Now write "Alan, wedding ring, 0300 pm"
