Warhammer 30k

So I already did all the upfront work in my own game.

Only thing that is still wonky is Logistics/Requisition.

I'd like to see someone else run a Horus Heresy era game. So that I can play in it. I'm really open to any concept.

Finally! Someone else who wants to play in 30K

I've long been considering to run a game set in 30K but last time I asked if there was interest the overwhelming response was "we know Horus goes mental and how it ends, no thanks"

So, you want a Deathwatch game? or something else?

I'm open to run a game of marines from one of the legion.

We also know that Cain rises and ends vampire kind. A meta plot does not make, break, or affect (if you choose) a game.

So I don't really care for the Deathwatch system since it is still on this lists and not updated to aptitudes yet. The back and forth I had with the mods was me trying to link the work I did to bring Deathwatch up to DH2 standards. I had to make some questionable calls (mostly with aptitudes) but I didn't get any complaints in character creation when I used them. I'll reply to your rmail with a link to the game that has all that info. That being said if you prefer Deathwatch systemically I would still like to see what you have in mind.

One legion seems like it would make the most sense in terms of putting hte game together. Or a game that is mostly one Legion with an emissary or exchange character mixed in.

Thoughts:
1 - Thousand Sons - My all time favorite for Pre-Heresy but I would think that would be a hard one to sell most people on.
2 - Alpha Legion - A good legion if you want a bit of extra variety. They use a lot of human agents and they would work a lot more like a inquisition team.
3 - I wouldn't suggest any of the vanilla loyalist legions Imperial Fists or Ultramarines. If you wanted to go with a more vanilla Legion I would advise taking advantage of the setting and doing Emperor's Children or Luna Wolves.
4 - Say 'screw it' and let the people decide. Have people app with their three favorite legions and use the one that fits the interest the best.

I had an idea based on the Thousand sons actually.

So Magnus wants the legions to learn form each other, he values knowledge which is why his captains all have to serve a certain time with the other legions before being promoted.

So it wouldn't be that long of a shot for him to petition papa Emprha to allow him to call on a number of his brothers Astartes to do a sort of "deathwatch" like thing. (joint ops between legions)

But that does remove the inter-legion banter and the legion politics...

I'd not mind a full Thousand Sons game or most other legions... Just for the love of god, no 40K puppy riding space Vikings...

I'm going to read up on your stuff in a moment (from the PM) and then see where this leads me.

I'd be interested in playing as a character, likely a Space Wolf lone wolf type Templar of the Imperial Fists.

This guuuyyy. Man after my own heart. Although 30k wolves actually have a lot more going on. Gott have a player who is 'into' 30k velka fenryka to pull one off well

Sweet at least one more guy interested! By lone wolf I hope you mean Space Wolf sniper and not anti-social loner who won't participate in intra-party RP.

Re: Warhammer 30k

Oh yes, the velka fenryka are awesome but I am just so tired of the 40K version :)

But yeah, I've been having a good nice long day with migraine so I haven't had the energy to fix something up. I'll try over the weekend though.

In the space wolves aka Vlka Fenryka, aka the Rout, they do not replace squad losses (normally) so occasionally they get lone wolves from packs that were decimated leaving lone survivors known as lone wolves, as well he will focus on melee not ranged combat.

Re: Warhammer 30k

Get well soon. Setting up a game properly is a lot of work this would be rediculously quick turn around for a W-GM ad.

Re: Warhammer 30k

just an update: I found out that I'm needing new glasses or something like it as every time I use my normal glasses and try to read I get the before mentioned migraine and I can't get that checked up before Tuesday. I'll keep working on my idea's but they won't get written down before after I find out about this issue.

Re: Warhammer 30k

Just wanted to give an update.

Still down with my health but it's getting better. But I don't have an ETA on this, so if someone else wants to run it, please don't hold back :)

Re: Warhammer 30k

I'd like to throw my name in for consideration as a player. I'd be happy playing either a legionnaire or a functionary/non-Astartes if needed.
