Black Crusade (Inactive)

Game Master Nethru

First posts are up!

If no posts are made by the Death Guard or Emperors Children characters by Wed I'm going to be inviting a different player into the game. Please post if you wish to be part of this game.

adding Menstras (Night Lord) to the group as no posts from the other 2.

sorry about the crazy amount of posts this weekend i know not everyone can post that much every day. i'll try to keep it to 1-2 posts a day unless it's individual scenes to not overload anyone or make you feel like your not contributing to the game by not posting fast enough.

Nice story, I'm just lurking and reading carry on :)

Images of some of the NPC's to satisfy your thirst for heresy.

Lheorvine Ukris

Iskandar Khayon

Telemachon Lyras

Aren't they all from Talon of Horus, which I need to read lol.

Like Iskandar the best.

Yes they are. This starting story arc is based on that story don't spoil things for my players! :)

I can't spoil it, haven't read it yet, I only recognized the characters since I follow the author of that book :)

I liked the story and it made me really want to run a game based around it to start out a long campaign.

I never read it either but i am loving this game though.

Well when a slot opens let me know and Ill join the4 campaign, Ill lurk for now.

what were you thinking of playing? May be able to squeeze one more in.

I would play probably a Thousand Sons, but you already have a sorcerer, so I might go with a veteran Emperor's Children as they are abundant or a Veteran Sons of Horus.

I am open to suggestions, or if the group needs some role filled.

Alpha legion
iron warriors
death guard ( puss filled plague marine )
emperor's children
White scar that defected for Horus
(Choas Marine)

another world eater would own
play a monster from the warp
Play as the WARP ITSELF

an Iron Warrior Warp Smith would be easy to fit in soon. No one here is a tech genius :)

I guess how I roll will more than likely sway what I can get to work with or do I use points?

I will be a Death Guard, just not sure of plague marine yet. or Vet + plague marine.

the player creation rules I think are on first page of this.

Roll 2d10 10 times and drop lowest roll for normal stats
Roll 1d5 for Infamy

Death Guard may be a bit harder to fit in at this time with all that's going on and such but I can probably make it work. They are mostly on their own and no one wants to play with them because of how far they have fall in love with decay. Sorta like the sons of fulgrim and their decadence but at least those guys still play with others while the death guard usually keep to themselves.

WS2d10 + 30 ⇒ (9, 10) + 30 = 49
bs2d10 + 30 ⇒ (8, 9) + 30 = 47
s 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (5, 9) + 30 = 44
t 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (6, 7) + 30 = 43
ag 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (2, 5) + 30 = 37
int 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (10, 1) + 30 = 41

wp 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (9, 3) + 30 = 42
fel 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (3, 7) + 30 = 40

Ag re-roll2d10 + 30 ⇒ (6, 10) + 30 = 46

Inf 1d5 ⇒ 1

I will be an Iron Warrior Chosen so I can be a Iron Havoc (Heavy weapons expert) or Vet+Warpsmith to make a Warsmith to lead warbands which is different to a Warpsmith.

You can put your points wherever you want not in the order you roll them. Just take the 10 numbers and drop the lowest one and order as you like.

Let me know which archetype your going to choose. If you go with a basic one you get exp to spend. Do you own all the books?

Ironwarriors don't have to have mechanicus implants so a chosen would be kinda cool :) I give extra infamy/corruption and +5 to one stat for basic archetypes to offset what the advance ones get.

The main thing you would loose by done a different archetype is the Mechanicus Implants.

If you use Skype easier to chat over that. my handle is Nethru6.

Wounds 1d5 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Power Armor Customization 1d10 ⇒ 4

Gift of the Gods
1d100 ⇒ 48
1d100 ⇒ 68

Wow 1 on wounds that sux hahahaha

This would be my tentative character.

Yes I have access to all 4 tomes and basic book.

Deathraven
Ulasht
Draex
Akkad
Menstras

You guys get 200xp, 1 infamy and 1 corruption (Akkad you get the corruption from possession instead of the 1). Update your char sheets accordingly.

All spent infamy and wounds are healed.

Possible Ammo/Reload house rule tossing it around see what you guys think. I hate having to keep track of ammo and I'm sure you do to. What if we make it sorta like Psyker powers where if you roll doubles like 11, 22, 33, etc... your gun goes click and it's time to reload?

So this could symbolize you messed up and forgot to reload after a big battle if you roll a double digit first round or you have bad ammo and it doesn't shoot. It's only 10% chance of having to reload and no need to keep track of how many rounds you got left in your clip.

Thoughts?

That works though it should be reduced if immediately following a reload.

yeah we can work with that. If you do an immediate reload and roll doubles would let it fly :)

I'm not going to change the ammo rules. Just going to leave it up to you guys to keep track and trust you :)

If I feel your are abusing it the dark gods just may become unpleasant :)

going to give everyone 100xp extra for the RP during the downtime. You to Iron Warrior.

Like what I'm seeing :)

Many thanks, I was not expecting any, will put it in my savings thowards my first minion XD.

I think my Dark Apostle needs to learn how to lie.

Give me that swift attack 300exp

update your sheet.

Now if Akkad can keep his mouth shut no one in the party will know that Sargon reached the ship...

Menstras killing it with the rolls

And now I'll roll a 100 on the deceive check of "where were you"

Better that than a dodge roll

Do we even have materials to craft all this stuff lol or at least create something of common or best craftmanship?

Not to mention create something like the combi-bolt pistols?

I sent you a PM.

This is a kinder gentler DM this time around it seems, allowing players to make anything they want. I wonder who you even are these days Caps! :-)

I didn't say they can make anything they want

Who knows if he fails his rolls some people may LOOSE weapons MWHAHAHAHA >:)

i put some crafting rules up on the main page. I wanted to try to make simpler in terms of determining if it's successful or not and how long it takes due to complexity. I have final call on what can and can't be crafted/upgraded.

Any questions let me know.

Given that this is a CSM campaign, are haywire grenades available?

yes they exist :) They are great against those force field users.

You said with the crafting of my axes i cant make it balanced, but what can actually be done?

Mono upgrade he can do here. Mono adds +2 penetration.

Upgrade from Good to Best can not be done here at this time.

so much love for the emperor why don't you guys tell me how you really feel? :)
