Cross Gaming Club Forums

Okay. So I WILL start off a campaign of this at some point within the next month or so. The idea is we play once a month at the club on Sundays, and conduct all non-combat/crucial actions online via the forums using random dice generators where needed.
This way the narrative can keep evolving and (hopefully) no one gets bored.


Note:
I WILL BE AWAY AT SOME POINT ON EXTENDED CLUB LEAVE (NOT SURE WHEN EXACTLY) AS I HAVE SURGERY TO BE CARRIED OUT AND WON'T BE MOVING MUCH. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THEN DON'T SIGN UP AS I DON'T WANT TO KEEP PEOPLE HANGING.


So... I'm going to be ambitious and put a maximum limit of no more than 10 players in total. Ideally I would like about 6, but if people are interested in it, then there is always the option of doing a larger one so long as people can be patient with it's development and player turns. Also we need to be fluid. I say 10 (!!! I know !!!) because there might be times when someone can't make it but everyone else can, I can write the player safe somehow and it will be okay.

First 10 players signed in will probably want to create their characters here:

People can use this dice generator if they need:

I am trusting that no cheating will occur. If cheating is suspected, characters will be hit very hard with a nerf-bat and their players will have to buy the rest of the expedition team a beer of their choice.
I would like the team to be united where possible, but ANYTHING goes in rpg's. This is DARK, GRITTY and 40K! I'm sure you can all get into character for this, and I will award points for most in character at sessions etc when levelling.

AWAY YOU GO! SIGN UPS ARE OPEN! (Start date will be announced later).

Email me character details (glam_andy@hotmail.co.uk)

Yay! Me!

I have a character class in mind. Are you allowing duplication of classes or one of each type per group?

I think so long as we have key classes covered, duplication is okay. It's nice to mix and match rather than have all the same class. Get dibs in quick lol!

Well, I'm not scrabbling for the big cheese (the RT itself), so I don't think I have to worry too much to worry about - but I'll try and send you my idea before this evening.

I emailed my character.

have got the rules will read afore deciding which pathway to descend into the pit with

I'm definitely up for this, although I'm a total RPG noob so please bear with me. I also need to go buy the book, but I'll create a character ASAP.

I would be Interested if....
I can be an Ork Freebooter!!!
I will pick up the rule book with their rules as a career path if you can make it fit your story

Well, Orks have been known to trade with humankind before... which means at some point they must have travelled on their ships. So I see no reason as to why not? It could build tension between the human players which is always a good thing. I just don't want characters being isolated is all, so if you can play the character without being all dakka dakka then sure thing lol

Sweet! ill pick up the expansion with the Ork career in it!
I heard about it on the D6 and they mentioned a game with an ork leading a boarding party of humans and calling them his boyz and it made me laugh till a bit of wee came out!!
Ork "Come on ladz WAAGH!"
Humans "WTF?? wa!
apparently as he advances he spores grots n squigs!!

Paul, Into the Storm isn't released until 31st August.

(And that's if it's on time).

Damn I heard summer thought hmm its hot enough should be soon!
maybe I can be written in? after all your more likely to "find" an ork on your travels then be round em 24/7

---

BTW I heard the other alien race is gonna be Kroot??
how the hell do you role play Kroot???
surely theirs not enough fluff about what is essentially a sub race of Tau??

I'm up for this.
Don't have the rules or owt.
Is this a problem, or can someone bung me a dodgy PDF?

---

Emailed over

I only have a dodgy pdf anyway lol. I'm too poor to buy the book or I would do... so it's certainly not a problem.
You don't really need the rules to play anyway, you just need a bloody good imagination. I'll (try to) take care of all the rules elements, just pick a character using that generator online - it will be quite randomised if you don't have the book to chose your abilities and talents, but for a new player that isn't always a bad thing. Just try to play in character true to the 40k universe and you will be fine.
A general idea of how rpg's play can be helpful... so if you have ever played one before there are certain familiarities that transfer from one to another, but playing is a lot easier than GMing.

Tim has emailed me his character - an astropath, so if people can attempt to avoid that path now.
RT is still up for dibs, as are the other classes, RT is going to be the boss of the party really... it's his ship you're all on after all!

I've emailed you something actually.
Kind of cocked it up a bit when I tried to copy it into the email.
Anyways, you'll see!!

Got it. I will start posting character profiles on a new thread as they come in.
Tim, yours was fine so go ahead and fluff out as much as you like! The more the better really!
Obviously you don't have to make your intentions clear to everyone, as agendas can always be individual in rpg's but stats and abilities I want to make open so you can work well together.

you say you will be going for up to 10 peeps! have you thought of 2 RTs with 2 ships competing?
maybe u could alternate each week witch ship you GM and when the paths cross do a big mega gathering??

I doubt we will be playing every week... time of games is more likely to be once every month or every fortnight. Depends how up for it peeps are. I want to get all the main characters covered before thinking about anything else though. If enough people are interested after the initial party is ready, then we can think about that as an idea... and yeah, I had thought about it and it could be good fun!
I just don't want to commit to a long term campaign like that until after I've had my op as it will drag things a little.

well If I cant do ork yet im gonna go mad and opt for the RT
Ive only played 1 session of DH but I think ive got a good idea how to go about it!
Is everyone cool with that?
