Culling Of Rheelas: Black Crusade (Inactive)

Game Master brent brent

Possible Recruitment to follow if there is interest. This is not Pathfinder, this is a 40k RP.

Interested. Are you thinking human heretics, chaos space marines, or a combination of the two?

If I can figure out how to build a character for it, then I'm definitely interested in checking it out. ^^

Im thinking of a combination of the two, however if you play as s human you would be a "minion" of sorts to another PC

I have finished sort of the background in the Campaign info tab. I will label character creation guidelines soon.

Black Crusade always seemed interesting, the only fantasy flight game I've ever played was Warhammer Fantasy 2nd edition. It seems like an awesome game idea.

It might be kind of cool if we each carry two characters - a CSM, and a human devotee to the dark gods. That way, on the mission, we play either our CSM or the human.

I am thinking a Thousand Sons Sorcerer and (if applicable) his human assassin. The sorcerer would be a demagogue for, a the human a member of, The Brotherhood of Broken Souls (my traitor guard legion that I play in 40k tabletop, complete with Col. Straken as a reskinned CSM).

...though I have always had a soft spot for the Word Bearers as well. Can someone say Dark Apostle?

come to Chaos

here goes a shot at stats, see if we get anything decent for a sorcerer

WS: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (10, 7) + 30 = 47
BS: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (3, 1) + 30 = 34
Str: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (7, 9) + 30 = 46
Tou: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (1, 9) + 30 = 40
Agi: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (7, 6) + 30 = 43
Int: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (3, 4) + 30 = 37
Per: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (3, 4) + 30 = 37
Wil: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (9, 4) + 30 = 43
Fel: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (10, 2) + 30 = 42
Inf: 1d5 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

Damn, okay, so with WS, Str, and Tou, guess it will be a melee sorcerer.

Reroll for BS: BS: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (3, 9) + 30 = 42

Hmm, with all the melee combat prowess, a Dark Apostle is really tempting. Going to sleep on the two ideas. Need to look at psychic powers and figure if they can boost a melee guy well. Force weapons seem solid.

In the mean time, more details... wounds: 1d5 ⇒ 5

All right sorry I hadn't given this earlier. This is guidelines for character creation.
We will be sticking as much as possible to the core rulebook. Nothing else.

You will allocate points (110).
As a heretic you cannot put more than 25 points to one characteristic. For Space Marines no more than 20. Additional info on allocation should be on page 52.
Note: You cannot allocate points for Infamy. Roll that on Website.
You may pick your Pride,Disgrace, and Motivation no need to roll.
Starting Experience for Heretics will be at 1,500 xp
Space Marines 1000 xp
Starting Gear is the same standard procedure. Select the number of gear based on your imfamy bonus. If its aquisition modifier is worse than -10 you cant get it.
For this campaign you must make two characters though. A human and an astartes. When it begins you cannot control your human they will be a minion to another characters space marine. However, in return you get their human to use as well.

Any questions?

I will end recruitment on 6/23/14 at 10:00 p.m I will have made choices by then. If we do not get enough people ill just accept based on a "first come, first serve basis"

Haha, well i rolled a 112 total, so 110 seems pretty spot on. Core Rulebook is cool. Think i will simply build toward one of the concepts.

Hmmm, need to think of a minion as well.

Lol Are you the only one submiting?

hahaha, it would seem possible.... perhaps if i post characters, people will get interested....

Human Renegade rolls
wounds: 1d5 ⇒ 5
infamy: 1d5 ⇒ 3

Try posting a more complete concept proposal in the recruitment thread. I love the 40k universe, and have been collecting chaos (both CSM and traitor guard) for over 15 years, so as soon as you proposed Black Crusade, you had me hooked. Others may want to know more about the game you will be running.

I think I might submit a Chosen, I have to get home to my computer and reread the actual character creation rules. But it seems like a very fun game. I know there is a character generator online that will help me smooth over the process.

I have submitted a concept. However I believe that if I go into depth too much it gives away quite a bit. So I just make a hook.

Will have characters (crunch and fluff) finished tonight after work. Quick concepts:

CSM: Sorcerer with melee directiion. Plan to pursue blessing of tzeentch. Torn between ancient warrior from the heresy that spent time lost in the warp, or a loyal SM that went traitor when psychic power awakened.

Human: Renegade marksman/agile swordsman, born on a feudal world, drafted into IG service, then recruited into an inquisitor's retinue. Watched homeworld be judged Exterminatus, abandoned Imperium, swore self to "Old Gods".

Also I'll need at least 3 people to start this..

Hmm interesting, I'll have do some reading to see what kind if heretic appeals to me

Read on my friend.. just know that we have a sorcerer already and I think a chosen but haven't heard much from that.

A hint: Start the game on that date but don't close the Recruitment.

Maybe once people see how it is and plays they might be willing to join in. (There is a history of this game turning into a PvP Game all too often. Especially in a PbP Set-up.)

I might could get a CSM set-up in time but not the Heretic.

Also not played this one before at least not a character I made myself. So I might need a little help here and there...

Thinking a Champion if that is available. Should be a good change from my My Chosen Khorne Berzerker I was tricked into playing.

Looks promising. Under this profile is my old character. I wonder if it will pass muster here.

Azaelas makes a solid point. I am all for inter-player conflict in the sense of having different motivations and different minor goals, but we all serve the forces of Chaos and have banded together to bring down the false emperor! That takes precendence.

@Azaelas: Alright sounds good. You don't have to have a heretic but if you dont you can do the "trade" thing I described. You will be a CSM with simple no followers

Okay so I am sure: CSMs gain the same starting talents and traits that Deathwatch Marines have correct?

No..not entirely. Are you trying to create a CSM from the deathwatch core rulebook?

No I have Black Crusade but haven't made a CSM myself only a Renegade guards mans Trying to figure out whether there are any differences so I know what to remove from the basic stay block. I'm currently on an iPhone and the writing is too small in my PDF to tell for certain.

I should specify that I am meaning the basic marine stuff not a Deathwatch Member. (There was a book that overlapped Dark Heresy and Deathwatch allowing you to play a basic Marine outside the deathwatch.) wasn't sure if they were identical and only renamed or that they were drastically different.

I have not seen that book. I couldn't tell you if there was.

Basically the only things dropped were Deathwatch training and the Forbidden Lore(Xenos).

Oh well. Tonight I should have his alias done. His abilities and such might be a bit behind though.

Planning a Undivided Black Legion Marine hailing from the Sons of Horus.

Champion Azazel.

Apparently Paizo hates me and doesn't want me to make another alias as whenever I try to do so it crashes...

Hopefully it will be rectified soon...

Sorry, sorry, been away for the weekend, working on my Chosen atm.

Infamy roll: 1d5 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Working on a concept I've always wanted to try out, never been able to do because various systems don't allow you to be a brute with a rifle, well except Rifts and that's a whole other ball game.

Okay, aside from a backstory (working on that atm) I have my Chosen.

I have my backstory finished hopefully I can get it and the basic stats typed up once my internet is back up (storm damaged a box and that is being repaired).

So far we have:
Wanderer82- CSM: Sorcerer, Human Renegade
Azaelas-CSM: Champion, No Heretic
HaruHiko-Chosen, No Heretic
The Deciever- Chosen (Haven't heard from him much)

REMINDER: You CAN make a heretic to follow your CSM. We will then have a Heretic swap before the start of the game. It is encouraged

I will keep recruitment up however I will start the game.

Heretic swap tonight.. it seems only one so nvm

I will post the mission tomorrow morning. But for right now prepare yourself for the embrace of Chaos!

Anyone got any recommendations for Advances? Not used to having such a large array of options...

Sorry I was unable to make a heretic in time, I do have a heretec or apostate in my head as kind of a weapons dealer or face. Maybe we could find a heretic on the planet instead of bringing one with us.

Just fyi the gameplay thread is up and so is the discussion.

*Sigh* it seems the game died put as it began....Recruitment is still ongoing

My problem simply is I am using a 7 inch tablet during my IRL Games downtime. Sadly it isn't that good for looking through the book.

Thats why all my books are hard copy and very few digital.

Unfortunately it is easier for me to get Digitals compared to Hard copy plus there would be too many books in too small of a space.

I can easily post once/day, I just tend to post at work.

I have my human heretic waiting in the wings, changed his name to Wraxus Drake. Did/has anyone else created one?

Also, Azazel and Nover, have you taken your infamy acquisition choices?

Azazel, what direction do you want to go with your champion? Might help for recommendations.

Recruitment still open! Campaign info is in its tab. You're welcome to apply, we've had characters drop out unfortunately.

Didn't think I would be able to do this but thankfully it seems that I will be able to. That is if you still want me.

I am planning on him being a Leader who aims to earn the favor of One of the gods to get a potent weapon to kill the Carrion-Emperors followers.

He should be done save advancements and his full gear by tomorrow. Once I get that done I will put a post in the discussion. Though be warned for a bit here I might not make sense in some things do to medication.
