Araneus. Hard to believe the world you lived on once held such a beautiful moniker. Necromunda, dead world. Now that makes sense. The air of Hive Primus is so toxic non-natives have to cover themselves from head to toe or instantly break out in boils and bleeding sores. At least that is what Ol'Man Remus says, and around here that is basically gospel.
Your thoughts are interrupted by las and auto pistol fire. The Rathole Jokers of House Orlok are making a move against the Blackhearts of House Delaque. Retribution for raiding their foundry. Most people in your situation would consider themselves in certain peril. For you it is just a distraction on your way to the Underhive. Reports of entire gangs missing and giving up contracts has disturbed the great houses and hindered recruitment efforts for the Imperial Fists. You take stock of your armaments and make your way through the routine turmoil of the hive city to meet with the rest of your team...
Welcome to the recruitment for my Wrath and Glory campaign. Inspired by the Kal Jerico novels, The Warriors movie, and Ghost Warrior (Rise of Ynnari) novel. You will be investigating goings on in the Underhive of Hive Primus on the world of Necromunda. This will be Theater of the Mind, so no maps sorry. I will give it a couple of weeks to fill recruitment. July 16th will be the cut off.
Tier – 2
Rank - 1
Build Points – 210
Races – Adeptus Astartes (Imperial Fists -sub chapters with compelling backstory we can discuss), Eldar (Saim Hann Craftworld only), Human (Abhumans possible but will have to discuss), Ork (Blood Axe only)
Archetypes allowed - All Tier 2 except Rogue Psyker. Sanctioned Psyker is valid. Scavvy will have to choose a gang affiliation. Scions can opt to be an Arbites (can discuss details) . Some Tier 1 possible, will have to discuss. Space Marine Scout will have have to be Imperial Fist(Sub Chapter might be plausible)
Wargear – Armour, Cybernetics, and Tools as Archetype. Weapons: 2 weapons of no greater value than 3, or 1 weapon value 5. These starting weapons are Keyword: Necromunda and any player character can wield them. You may also choose one weapon upgrade of value no greater than 3 to place on one of your weapons. *Special Weapons Trooper talent my be selected by any player character so long as they meet the Ballistic Skill +3 requirement. Any weapons gained by this talent change keyword to Necromunda.
Additional information - At the start your characters will gain the Peer (Imperial Fists) talent unless they are an Imperial Fist in which case they gain the talent Touched by Fate.
Framework-
Huh, a new 40k RPG system!
Thanks for that info :-)
I am a great fan of 40k and run a game with the 'old' FFG game (OW) here.
Good luck with your game (I don't think I should get into another game at this point :-/) and I will make sure to keep the system in my mind to check out at some point.
Lead designer is Ross Watson who was also involved in the Fantasy Flight RPGs. Imagine if you crammed Dark Heresy, Deathwatch, Rogue Trader, Only War and Black Crusade into one book. Dark Heresy 2nd is still my favorite, but this is the newest and shiniest so taking it out for a spin. As far as where to get it I believe Amazon has it for under 30$ I got mine at the local game store. It was originally put out by Ulisses, but it now looks like Cubicle 7 will be the one putting it out.
I only just spotted this, I'll start plotting and forward it on to a few friends.

Glad you made your perception check.
Sorry to hear that Choon good luck in other games.
Hello!
I've ran and played games with most of the older 40k rpg systems, and a bit of Wrath and Glory thanks to Kevin. So I know the universe a bit. :)
I'm strongly leaning towards human. What are your thoughts on an ascended Inquisition Adept, and what are you thinking for varying Scion to represent an Arbites?

All right sounds good. We could probably do something with Inquisition Adept, I will get back to you for Scion to Arbites though its more of a flavor thing than a mechanics thing.
I may put forth a blood axe kommando since they are open.
A rough draft on a Scout in case I don't get around to exploring other ideas. I had some notions towards a 'Guardsman' from the Necromundan 8th. Ascension Keyword would likely be scum... still at least one actual space marine in the party seems wise.

Blood Axe Kommando would be welcome. When I ran an introductory module at my local game store I had a pregen that people loved to play.
just remember my weapon restriction to start with. Things are a little more scarce in Necromunda, and Imperial Fists are generally looking for recruits on the planet rather than dealing with large scale threats if you want a justification for bringing weapons that are less lethal.
Cheers GM. I've ended up settling on an ambitious and driven servant of a flexibly-minded Inquisitor of no known ordo.

I give you Zoggrun Sneakakilla, Ork Kommando. He is a cleva an cunnin killa an in it fer da teef an da proppa fight. He wears a collection of billowing robes and cloaks in a futile attempt to hide his orkyness from oomies, and when asked who he is he just says he is a normal oomie, yep, just a normal oomie. What? Did ya not ear me? I is a normal oomie. Get before I bash ya gob in.
@velantinius- For your Rare Wargear or Very Rare I am going to limit that to Tools, Cybernetics or weapon upgrades.
@Zoggrun looks good
Everyone Please work on backgrounds a bit and why you would be associated with the Imperial Fists. Velantinius you even have the Astartes keyword so that will need some explaining, perhaps you are from a house of serfs for example. Blood Axes are mercs and House Goliath likes to challenge them in the Blood Arenas so there is some things there. If need any other help or questions post or PM me.
Really pinched for time today but I'm off work tomorrow so will put my nose to the grindstone. The gear has thrown me, I had read it as in addition to starting gear.
It'll be this evening before I get to write any substantial amount. I will expand on my bare first draft.
Progess is being made, a bit more work needs to be done on his background.
Not ready tonight. Hope to be done tomorrow.
Is there any chance you all have room for another? I would like a chance to try out wrath and glory...
...our GM has been AWOL since late August so I am sorry to say you'll just have to wait for another game of it... like the rest of us. If I lapse in judgement and start up another PBP and got for a 40k one I'll send you a PM.
Yeah I noticed that last saturday. Thanks for keeping me in mind, and I will do likewise if I also lapse in judgement...
