Dark Heresy: The Oremor Affliction IC

Game Master Rookseye

Hey Rad,

Read that Juan is an ex ganger turned Arbite. Did you want to be from the same gang or rival gangs?

Same gang will explain why we are in the same team.

Okay sounds good. Read my background and decide where you want us to cross paths, and how well we know each other prior to joining the Inquistion. Since your an Officer of the Law... And I am just a Bandit =P Sorry couldn't resist. Just finished watching the movie again.

"Your taunts will avail you not, miscreant."

"No servant of the Emperor goes unavenged. No enemy of the Emperor escapes unpunished." Draws handcannon for emphasis.

Gentlemen, thank you for your patience, it will soon be rewarded. Please familiarize yourself with the below website/wiki prior to the posting of the OOC and IC pages. If you detect any errors or discrepancies, please post them in this thread so that they can rectified before play begins.

The Oremor Affliction

It may not be immediately obvious, but the mission summary link is at the top of the main wiki page, just above the sector map. Your character sheets can be downloaded from the bottoms of the individual entries on the Acolyte Dossier pages.

Please let me know what you think, I'm excited to begin!

I found a minor error in Uriah's pdf. A staff is impact not rending. Like I said, minor error, but one I thought you would want to fix.
thanx.

Looks awesome Rook!

Love what you did. All excited to get started with my character.

You can see the hard work you put into it. This should be fun and exciting. Is being a syncophant the only way a psyker can survive the inquisition? lol. Let the inquisition begin.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll update and re-post the sheet today, and don't feel like its quibbling, finding errors like that helps me a lot. As far as being a sycophant, those are Ahmazzi's words. He actually quite likes Uriah, whereas most psykers are perceived as necessary tools, he sees you as a tool with a personality. I think his assessment is a generalization on psykers, though. Feel free to break the stereotype (at your own risk, of course!)

Considering the Shadow on thy soul, I would have to at least give lip service to the way normal psykers act to prevent detection or suspicion.

What is pretty neat about this team is my toons mom is a scum; dad an arbiter; and brother is am Imperial Psker; hehe I could be the glue for the whole team through my family; weird eh. Gotta keep that reformed traitor guardsmen and deviant psker on our team in line; takes more that prayer; takes fire! hehe

Hey Val, you would not know what Uriah has been through, but you know that he has been santioned. What does not kill you makes you stronger. The Emperor protects.

I will have the special runes and sigils for the Call Item power on my las pistol.

OK, noted. Just waiting for Dr. Dark and Rad to check in before transitioning to the OOC and IC posts.

sheesh; my character needs some matches or a butane lighter or something to start fires with; fire purifies and I dont even have a match; lol

So when Uriah gets a Psy rating of 3, should he become a Pyromancer to help him out?

Guys, I don't think my copy of the corebook survived the flood that took out the first floor of our house and most of my town.

Good luck with that. If you have any rules questions I am sure we can help you. We all had to deal with flood issues. I know that Balfic and I have, so we hope everything works out quickly for you.

Ouch, sorry to hear that Rad.

Ouch... Hopefully no one was injured. My prayers are with you Rad. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Sorry its taken me so long to post. For some reason I couldn't access the wiki but now that I have changed my broadband provider, it works. Anyway, i'm ready now. Brilliant job by the way!

Thanks Dr. Dark.

OK, looks like everyone is on board and ready to start. I will be posting the OOC and IC posts tomorrow at some point. Rad, I understand if you have some difficulties in posting initially given the circumstances, please let me know if there is anything game-wise I can do to help.

Can't wait to start. Just so you know, I might be posting late the next two days, I am working evening shifts.

The Game Begins!

Dark Heresy: Oremor Affliction Campaign Wiki

Keeping the thread open for two alternates.

This thread is now re-opened for two new players. The game has just begun, so you still have an opportunity to get in at the beginning of things. Please post your character concepts here.

The OOC thread is here.
The IC thread is here.

Heya Rookseye,

I have a character I created for another pbp attempt at 40k. That one didn't make too far and I'd be keen to try him again. I've played one RL game for this now and would be keen to try the pbp option again.

I was with Radavel in that one, and I'm in a PbP with some of the others you've got in here.

My only concern is there are times when I won't be able to post daily. I teach and my schedule can get very intense at times, so I may miss a day or two in those periods.

If that's not an issue then please consider me for a position in the game.

Cheers
Wrath

(I'll post as my alt so you can check his creation and stuff also. Let me know what is suitable and what needs to be changed for your game.)

Here's my proposal for a character Rookseye. He's a techpriest, which I don't think you have in the party.

I only have the basic rule book btw.

Cheers
Wrath

here's his counterpart, the fast-talking servant of the Emperor.

Hi Wrath, if you would like to join in, you are more than welcome. The campaign website is here, just download one of the form-fill character sheets from here and save a copy with your character information with one 100XP advance. You can email it to me at rookseye at yahoo dot com and I will post it to the wiki with some campaign flavor specific to your character. Consider this a fresh reboot for Ivaanov.

I'd like to introduce new characters organically to the story, so please follow along once these steps are complete, and I'll give you prompt when you come into play (this shouldn't be long). I'm OK with someone posting every couple of days or so, as long as they are consistent and in the campaign for the long haul.

And I'm the berk who GMed that failed game.

Anyway, I oh so very much want to play in this game. I want a chance to finally use that character I made for the failed pbp that lead to me running a game myself. Of course, it doesn't matter what I want, since my books are on the other side of the state.

In other words, if you still have an opening Thanksgiving weekend when I have a chance to go home and grab the core rules again, I'll gladly fill it.

More meat for the grinder

Thanks Rookseye, I'll get onto it tonight. Looking forward to getting in game. Will take me a day or two to read up on the thread.

Cheers

Could very well be the case, Davi. Just follow the same instructions I posted for Wrath. Two of the three PC's currently in game have been turned into NPCs. For the time being I am leaving them open to be assumed by new players if they so choose, although I know most people like to put their own stamp on a character and make their own. That would be OK, too. That being said, Ishmael and Albrek still have important roles to play before all is said and done.

Hey Wrath,

Would be good to see you in the game.

Rookseye

Sorry about that Wrath, you are correct, if you don't have ownership rights on the .pdf or the full version, I think it prevents saving changes. I'll look into the sheet from my end.

In the interim, just scale back whatever advances that Ivaanov had from the other game on your Paizo profile to the starting advances (500XP) and add a single 100XP advance. I will transcribe the character as soon as I get the opportunity and post your sheet to the wiki.

Good to have you aboard!

And now we have a servant of the Omnissiah joining us. Could an assassin be far behind....

Let's see, on one hand I don't really have a good handle on Albrek's personality so far from what he's posted in the game thread. Then again, since his sheet's already made I should be able get by the next few weeks without the book, and I am awfully close to understanding the character...

Alright, if you don't mind me not being able to look up some of the more advanced rules for a while, I'll take over Albrek.

EDIT: Wait a minute, I still got the basic costs of things on that unused alias. Alright, I'm either taking over Albrek or reducing that Voidborn Assassin I have lying around.
EDIT EDIT: Wait, no I don't. Still, now that the idea's in my head I might as well bring Iacton down to first level.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Alright, I decided. I'll take over Albrek for this game. Once I get my hands back on my books I'll finish updating Iacton, but that's only in the hopes I can get into another game at some point.

Davi, like I told the others, make sure you choose what appeals to you most. If you would truly prefer to start a new character or adjust your assassin's stats, create one or use him. The campaign and setting are extremely flexible, and I set it up this way intentionally for mid-game additions.

In short, you have a spot reserved in the game. Feel free to follow along until you are ready to join in. Do not feel as though you need to rush. The game isn't going anywhere, I promised as much to the others.

Albrek has an important role to play in the outcome of the Oremor Affliction, one way or the other, PC or NPC, he will play his part. I can provide a bit more of what I have in mind for him if you end up choosing to play him.

Point taken. Well, the actual sheet should be done. I may have 100 extra XP, and I didn't get any skills because I don't remember which ones an assassin can get at first level, but other than that he should be done. Background coming soon.

Thanks rookseye, I'll update him tonight after i finish work. He actually is at the starting point as far as I remember, but I'll check over him again. He might have mroe equipment than he should.

Cheers

This is Ivaanov at basic level, in other words ready to start when you are Rookseye hehe.

I put asterix' beside the traits and skills I purchased with the base 400 we start with.

The double * is for the skill I purchased with the 100xp you gave us.

He has starting Gelt, but I haven't spent it yet in case you didn't want us to. He has his initial gear though, that you get from creation.

Cheers

Speaking of which, I've added a background. Not great, but it'll do.

Thanks guys, I will begin converting the profiles to character sheets, and hopefully I should have something up on the wiki before the end of the week for both of you. Please feel free to begin brainstorming character backgrounds and reasons/ideas for where/how your characters will enter the campaign story.

Do not necessarily feel bound by having to serve the existing acolyte's inquisitor, Ahmazzi. Numerous other possibilities exist. Even though I have some good ideas for your introductions based on your character careers, I would like to hear what you have to say on the subject and incorporate what you have for notions about your character's background/personality into the storyline.

If you have a better reason for me to join than "the probably-slightly-paranoid captain of his ship lent him to someone, possibly Ahmazzi", I'd be glad to hear it.

I'm working on a couple of ideas, I kind of want to see how the next chapter plays out before settling on one.

OK, Davi, Wrath, thanks for being patient with me.

Wrath and I are presently hashing out some of Ivaanov's background, and I think we have a logical pretext for his entry into the campaign, which should be occurring relatively soon.

Davi, I have a notion for how Iacton got involved, as well. I'd like to avoid spoilers for the others, similar to how I notified Wrath, so could you please send me an email at rookseye at yahoo dot com?

Message sent.

OK Davi, sent an email along to you. Let me know what you think.
