Prominent Emerald Magistrate Doji Oharu has retired, but there are still a few loose ends that he wants to tie up before he settles into a life of quiet, if unusually extravagant, contemplation of the Tao. Toward that end, Oharu has begun a pilgrimage through the Empire, visiting various shrines and holy sites near places where the former he still maintains contacts. You have been invited to join Oharu at the first stop on this tour: the Shrine to Duty in the Lion’s Eiyu Province, during the annual Festival of the Wandering Hero. Also taking part in the festival are Matsu Sachiko and Akodo Hidenori, and their respective units from the Lion Armies headed towards the siege at Mukui Toshi. The atmosphere in Eiyu is tense, as a large number of peasants have been allowed to move south, fleeing the still-erupting volcano in the Dragon mountains.

Checking for any interest for Legend of the Five Rings game. I'm very new to this game system and it looks pretty fun so I'm just dotting for interest if anyone else is also interested we could possibly get a game going.
Hello all! I will be hosting a Deathwatch game. I require that you post at least once a day and if you do not post for at least 3 days without a legitimate excuse then I will remove you and find another player. Please be friendly and respectful as well.
Background:
In the face of war, muderous xenos, the vengeful agents of Chaos, and many other threats of the Jeicho Reach, the true purpose of the Achilles Crusade is sometimes lost. The crusade first and foremost is an attempt to bring the Reach back under Imperial control. At present the crusade is far from self sustaining. Troops and other supplies and virtually every component of the trident assault must flow through the warp gate, secretly siphoned from Segmentum Obscurus. The Cursades masters recognise that sooner or later either the resources or the secrecy that sustains their lifeline will give out so establishing more fortresses and agricultural centres like the agri-world of Karlack is an important goal.
For this reason, the crusades leader have been eyeing the feral world of Aurum for decades. The Exceptionally fertile planet would make a fine addition to the crusades woefully small portfilio of pacified worlds. Because the crusade is fighting on many fronts the Imperium would much rather peacefully annex it without turning it into another war zone.
The Crusade has tried tactic after tactic to negotiate with the stubborn and prideful native feral worlders, but the natives have lukewarm at best. Relations have suddenly grown even more strained as the bodies of both natives and imperial missionaries have been found picked clean of flesh with an efficiency far surpassing any natural predator. Auran authorities have refused to cooperate with the imperials on-planet to investigate the killings, and many imperials have begun to wonder if their lack of cooperation marks something more sinister than pride. Even more straining tensions when a member of the Adepta Sorotias was found dead under mysterious circumstance. You must not only determine if the Auran harbors a deadly alien but you must represent the Emperor's Finest to the warrior culture.
Character Creation Guidelines::
You will be using a point allocation system to generate your characteristics. This can be found on page 26 of the core rule book.
You will have 1,000 starting xp
All chapters are allowed, and if you do so desire you may create your own chapter for your character however I expect it to be very intricate and detailed in terms of background.
You will also start out with 4 fate points.
You are allowed any specialties however if you pick heavy I'm less likely to pick you because I feel that they are a little over the top overpowered and I'd like a team that has to face hard challenges.
Also this is a character creation generator that can help you, you don't have to use it it is only for your benefit. http://tylerkamstra.com/rpgbot/deathwatch_character_generator/
I will allow supplement material on a case by case basis, however you may not use any Mk armor set different from Mk 7, remembering everyone's diverse armor rules and everything distracts from the play of the game.
Our Adventure begins in the town of Dragon's Peak. A town nestled in the canyon below the feared Nursery. Currently our party is drinking the night away at the local pub Drunken Scalemaid. In the pub, the barkeeper serves countless drinks to the town's locals. As well as common rumor, and info of course..However you are but newcomers to this land, adventurers seeking personal fortunes and glory.
The Barkeeper wanders down to your table and speaks to you while eyeing a dirty mug in his hands. The Barkeeper "Evenin, stranger. Unusual to see a new face in Dragon's Peak. My name's Famis, I make quite the plunder in drinks here at The Drunken Scalemaid. So whadda looking around for in these parts? Women?Ale? Glory?
To clear some confusion, you as a party are already aware of each other and have been questing together for quite some time. You have come here in Dragon's Peak based on rumor of fortune but not exactly specific about what fortune to be had.
Why should anyone travel the cracked cobblestone of the Old road? The Fortress that once cast its shadow across the road does so no longer. Some whisper that the Earth swallowed the fortress whole in an age long past. Four brave adventurers went to investigate the citadel, setting off down the Old Road but not returning. This has led the nearby village of Oakhurst in disarray and uncertainty.
Once the town was devoid of heroes. The (Vurnor Leng)mayor has called upon a party of strange and almost otherworldly individuals to take up the task and rescue the Heroes, whilst becoming one..
Our adventure begins with you aboard the Malevolent Savior. Abbadon has loaned you the use of one of his ships, however it is crewed by his personal staff of heretics who scurry from place to place avoiding your gaze. It is a small ship, a Heresy Era Crusader strike vessal. A mere heretic cautiously walks up to you and speaks " Lord, your presence is required in the Command deck" To give a little more detail on this. Basically you start in different positions in the ship and im just describing the basics of the ship and some of the things going on around you. You aren't aware of each other yet
An Evil sorcerer has a cunning plan. He hopes to reawaken the bones of an ancient dracolich and appease it with a sacrifice of dragon eggs. After much searching, the sorcerer has discovered a draconic nursery dedicated to the youth of dragonkind. However, the sorcerer's minions haven't managed to procure him enough eggs or hatchlings to bring to fruition, so he decides to dupe a few heroes into doing his dirty work for him!
Character Generation:
-You will begin at 7th level
-20 point buy
-Im using only the core rulebook. I want to have a kind of dirt orginal adventure. Only races and classes from core.
- 5,000 gp to start
- Chaotic alignments both evil and good are not allowed. Good is mildly discouraged, normally good PC's aren't going to aid an Evil Sorcerer >.>
- I want to add another race to this kind of a house rule:
Half-Draconic
Racial Adjustment: +2 to Strength and Wisdom, -4 to Charisma.
Size: Large or Hulking is a better word
Speed: 30 feet
Draconic Fury: Once every 48 hours you can enter in a state of draconic fury flooding your veins and growing scales. You get a +2 to AC, Fort, Will, and 1 stat of choice. Effects of fear and enchantments are voided. You MAY switch one of your stats with Str. When in fury, casting ANY spell must be done as if casting defensively. If you planned to cast defensive, you take a -2 penalty. When you end your rage, you can only take a half action next turn as you are exhausted from the fury.
Note: If you play a Half-Draconic Sorcerer. You MUST have your bloodline as Draconian.
In an age long past, there was a once-proud fortress that fell into the earth. Rechristened the Sunless Citadel, its echoing,broken halls now housing nerfarious races and malign creatures. Evil has taken root at the citadel's core, which is deep within a subterranean garden of blighted foliage. Here a terrible tree and its dark shepherd plot in the darkness.
This tree, called the Gulthias tree, is shepherded by a twisted druid, Belak the Outcast. Belak was drawn to the citadel twelve years ago, following stories of oddly enchanted fruit to their source. The Druid found the age old fortress pulled below the earth by some past magically-invoked devastation. With the ancient inhabitants long dispersed, vile and opportunistic creatures common to lightless dungeons infested the ruins. But at its core, he stumbled upon the twilight grove. He discovered at its heart the Gulthias Tree, which sprouted from a wooden stake used to kill a vampire lord.
Upon the tree, magical fruit extruded forward. A single perfect ruby red apple ripens at the summer solstice. Another albino one in the winter. One gives vigor, health, and life, the other will take it!
Hook:
A party of adventuers went missing looking for such fruit. However they were part of a wealthy merchant family. The matriarch Kerowyn Hucrele has contracted you to find them Dead or alive. She also expresses evident interest in the fruits growing there
I am trying to determine who and how many would be interested in the Revised Pathfinder edition of World of Warcraft Roleplay if I get enough replies we could have a game on our hands. Expecting at least 4 people.
I will be running a Adventure Path for Deathwatch. I will be looking for 3-6 characters. You will start at Rank 1 and have 3,000 Xp to spend on advancements. I understand it is made for Dark Hersey but I have made a way to play it using the Deathwatch core rulebook. I will end recruitment on 8/25/13. You may use Rites of battle and First Founding rulebook. I might close recruitment earlier depending on how many applications. I also ask when you complete your profile that you post the complete profile on the discussion page.
The air is filled with an icy voice that penetrates the silence as the selected marines walk into the briefing room. "Hello, My name is Inquisitor Roth and you are of service to me" the voice seethes.
I am running a d20 modern PBP.I want to keep it as close as possible to the core rulebook. Standard character creation. This campaign is going to have to survive in a Zombie invasion as you might have assumed from the title. Since it is a zombie apocalypse and money has lost a lot of value (because it cant kill zombies and you cant eat it). I am taking away wealth bonuses and replaces it with something called (SH) searching hours. For example, a cell phone is roughly 9 wealth bonus/searching hours, well to get it you must go to the logical place you would find it (Verizon store) then you must tell me how many SH you are willing to devote to finding it, based on the amount of time you spend and the relevance of the area to the item I will tell you if you are successful.
However, I don't care if you spend a week looking your not finding a tank in a grocery store. Also before during your character creation you get 15 SH to spend on different items that are listed in Core rulebook.
So to get a cellphone it would 9 SH so 15 - 9 = 6 so you have 6 SH left.
During the days because you have 24 hours in a day you start the days with 24 SH. However I recommend that you spend some of it sleeping because fatigue can cause you to overlook things and possibly fall asleep while running from a zombie horde.
As you may have guessed from the title I am doing a Deathwatch play by post. I am playing a very basic game using only the core rulebook and if you would like to submit as a different chapter than the core rulebook has then you have to link a PDF to me. I am looking for 3-6 characters using the standerd character creation rules. The recruitment will stay open until 6/25/13.
