Sorry, bit delayed on my end, dealing with some rather hectic midterms. I'll be finished with them by tomorrow though.
I find your eyes DREAMY green gnat that SCURRIES in my FLESH. Master is wonderful.
"Oh, surely we can smooth this over. You see those orks are less threatening than they look. Why, they're basically just big cuddly green puppies. I mean just look in Hexa's soulful eyes or Zoggit's regal purple regalia, he is so trying to be like the humans he idolizes. And why should you be so concerned with the Will, it's just a simple trading vessel, not some ship of war. Why, perhaps you can come aboard and avail yourself of some of the pleasures such a ship can provide, fine amasec perhaps? Or some simply tantalizing lho? Perhaps a night of entertainment in the lower decks where the crew likes to let off steam."
1) You may roll or take 1/2+1, your preference 2) Yes, anything you qualify for. You're going to need it, the addition of Nemeses will up the difficulty of the AP. 3) Case by case, as I'm not 100% familiar with that supplement though I usually don't say no. I looked it up and I'm OK with Elemental Whisper.
As you look out into the rain you see Redeye and another goblin trying to futilely light a torch. As the second goblin continues to try to spark the flint, Redeye notices you, "Oh, hey there. It got kinda quiet and none of you came out to say hi and the Runt said maybe you died and Wormkiller said maybe you and Chief killed each other and maybe I said we shouldn't take chances Chief be mad and maybe it be best if we make sure he dead 'fore he try to kill us back and then Fluffy said that sound like good idea and then Purvis say we burn it down and get show and Chief be dead and we get warm and Purvis is strange name for goblin but he come with hobbie who sell him to us and he ok now and make good goblin and like fire but no like swamp and we say 'why you live in swamp' and he say 'because you bought me' and then we laugh and laugh and we say'silly Purv, you came free with the cow' but cow ran off and Purvie stay..."
Hmmm, usually I prefer wheeling and dealing and social interactions. It lends itself to such things better than the other W40k RPG systems do, not that you can't do such things in DH but RT is more personal I think, the scope is more intimate than whatever heretic or daemon or xenos you're dealing with in DH. Also dig the independence of RT and the exploration of strange new worlds, like Star Trek but with much bigger guns. Though I must say my favorite of the W40k RPG stuff is Black Crusade, but that takes a very special group to really pull off.
I'll bot her for the remainder of the current combat and give her time to chime in on Discussion board. If she just isn't able to respond for the time being that's fine, I'll just have her fade into background and adjust future encounters accordingly until she is able to come back. We'll see how things go.
Yeah, your characters can see and hear it just fine. You can react to it if you want, but there's no (reasonable) way someone watching you or talking to you would know that you're having a vision unless you decide to react.
When you next see him Interrogator Kaplan is wearing an Arbites uniform, it would of seemed odd to think of the overly fastidious Kaplan in such a uniform but he fills it nicely and it appears tailored. He leads you to an interrogation room more reminiscent of a precinct fortress than the Tricorn Palace. Behind a pane of armored glass sits Roderick in a state of half undress, his chest is bare and while one could never describe him as muscular he is excellently toned. Electoos dance along his flesh, they appear to be criminal in origin but the quality of their workmanship is far above any ganger's means. He looks up at the armored glass after a few moments, though if he senses your presence it is hard to determine. “There's our boy, honorable inquisitor. We rounded him up in the guise of Arbites, not really necessary though, he was curled up with some pretty little thing and quite asleep when we arrived. Maintained the cover just in case though. He's dropped his name and a few connections, if we were actual Arbites we'd likely of let him go by now.” The interrogator smiled, “If we were actual Arbites. If you don't mind honorable inquisitor, I'd like first pass at him.” The interrogator nodded without waiting for acknowledgement and produced a vox bead, “Tapped into my own network, any questions just speak into it and I'll get answers. His full file is on the desk there.” With that the interrogator went through a side room and into the interview chamber. “Good evening Lord Kaplan,” he began but was quickly cut off by a string of invectives. Raising a hand for silence, Interrogator Kaplan continued, “do you know why you've been brought in?” “Oh, I truly don't know” the young noble said in that tone of practiced boredom that only those born into power and money can properly enunciate, “maybe that thing in Dross hive? But I've already cleared that up with the Administratum, big misunderstanding really.” The interrogator smiled and shook his head slowly, the noble's visage began to grow irritated. “No, Lord Kaplan, not that at all.” “The skycar then, I already paid for all the damages.” “Wrong again, Lord Kaplan.” The interrogator's slow shake of his head was a measured movement, long practiced to draw out a specific, desired response. By the look of irritation on the noble's face, it appeared to be working. “Maybe that shipment from the underhive? As I told the commandant, I'm sure that the proper papers were simply misfiled.” Lord Kaplan was maintaining his calm, but a practiced eye could see his mind turning over, trying to figure out the situation and why this low level arbiter would be so brave to bring in someone of his station. “If not that, then I simply have no idea what you could want to talk to me about.” The interrogator's grin nearly touched his ears, he clearly enjoyed his work. “Oh, I'm sure you do.” Interrogator Kaplan reached into his pocket and withdrew a small object, no larger than his palm, and tossed it almost cavalierly onto the table. The young noble eyed it a moment, not quite understanding what he was looking at. The look of puzzlement faded first into one of recognition, then terror. The small object was a simple, stylized, “I”. “No.” Roderick's voice was firm, but the tiniest tremor shook it. “No, not again, I was cleared of suspicion, cleared of charges. I served my Emperor three times and that was supposed to be it, you weren't calling me again.” The interrogator reached down and recovered his Rosette, “Now that's not quite right, little lord. We said we'd let you go on your crimes against the citizens of Fenksworld. The next time we cleared you of any wrongdoing on that little incident on Malfi. That last time you volunteered, used one of the old dead drops to alert us to that xenos artifact smuggler, I was kind of proud of you when I read that.” “Yeah, volunteered so you wouldn't surprise me and drag me into another of these waking nightmares.” Roderick sneered. “And today you get to volunteer once more, little lord. It seems that the Emperor needs a little sociopath like you once more.” the Interrogator chuckled. Roderick sank into his chair, deflated. After a moment Interrogator Kaplan subvocalized over the vox bead, “Anything you would like to ask now that I have him broken down for you sir?”
Runt was shock still for a moment, his eyes scanning the darkness.
Spotting Jayna his mind began to race, terror shook his tiny body. With a yelp he threw his hands in the air and bolted for the nearest stairs, "Bony men are back!" he screamed.
Relationship yes caravan rules if you want to, as it's bookkeeping for you
Got a background I'm working on, doing a narrative background and will have crunch after that. Have a full concept, just getting everything right is taking a little bit.
I'll try to keep it smooth for you, cause I love the journal.
So as a bit of a teaser on what I'm working on for the game: I'm writing up foils for your characters, NPCs who complement and contrast you and are likely to be nipping at your heels for a while. I've got one for Derric all ready to go, next on the list is one for Kiko. Next is the way I'm handling the weirdness of switching GMs, I plan on some little spoiler boxes of information to twist your characters' perceptions of reality. Looking to show them alternate pasts and presents and possible futures. Also lets me show you what's going on "offscreen" so to speak. Any thoughts?
Yes, recruitment is officially open. Potential recruits have until Wednesday 1200 US Central to at least get a hat in the ring and a background for my review. Has anyone heard from Damien Tarrant? Do I need to send a PM? Rishana: Looked at background, I like what you have. If you're selected the leopard will be fine, no need to change that. Gohei: I'd like to get a look at your witch if they are already built. Kito: Changing your mystery is fine, just have the original stuff documented where I can find it. I have plans for all current characters so if they rebuild I need to know what changed. Increases in stats due to higher point buy, new skills, stuff like that is no problem. Changing a mystery or something on that level of change I do want though.
I have been working my way through the relevant threads, still have about half to go. Can I ask a favor? Can I have the current players post their backgrounds, stats, and any notes they find relevant in this thread? That way I'll have them all in one place. Thanks.
I'm looking to get back into the boards and am up for DMing if you'll have me, let me look at my Jade Regent stuff over the next few days and go over the players and campaign so far. As far as replacing the other players, tentative yes, but let me get caught up before I give a hard answer. |
