archimage_a Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Minimum of two players, perferably four. I only want one of each class, so please choose a type that is not already claimed. You start at 400 xp. The Campaign shouldn't include any demons or warp entities, for reference. You will mostly be investigating, fighting other humans, and the normal Dark Heresy stuff (trying to make money because your stipend is insufficent, riding on public transport while watching people getting mugged, etc). You have been given your orders, via datanet, by your mysterious (And unmet) Inquistor Liege, and were directed to the starship The Sounding Joy as it collected you from your various planets of origin on a multi-month trading route. Your briefing includes very little useful information, other than your planet of destination: Quaddis You also start with twice your monthly stipend.If you want to trade starting equipment for money then make an Inquiry check. If you succeed then you can sell it for 60%, plus 5% per degree of success, if you fail then you cannot attempt to sell it again. [hide]Population: Unknown/Variable (resident population estimated to be fewer than 5 million).Tithe Grade: Colonial Exemption (planet not developed to point of tithing)Climate/Geography/Biosphere: Abundant flora, ideal life sustaining conditions, few hazardous life forms other than those introduced from off-world. Extensive tropical equatorial region, with wild, uncultivated temperate zones and saline seas covering the majority of the landmass. Ice-bound Polar Regions. The only major settlement is in the northern polar region (Xicarphcolonial centre of governance).Governmental Type: Colonial administrationCentral Authority Indefinitely SuspendedPlanetary Governor: None (Last Colonial GovernorRegentThaddeus Haarlock circa 457-690. M41)Adept Presence: Minor Adeptus Administratum and Adeptus Ministorum presence. Note that due to its unique history, Quaddis is adjudged not to be fully part of the Imperium of Man nor subject to the full weight of its law.Military: None except private vassals of the fief ownersTrade/Economy: None; Quaddis has no industry, has nothing to trade, and has no basis for any economy other than the intrinsic wealth of its masters.[/hide] Sessions will be on Friday.

Nexaduro Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well, Retech intends to join, so here's hoping he has a character soon. And maybe there will be some sort of miracle and Ross or Grim or Stork or Alg or someone will come so we have more than two players. If we have a player deficit, I could always try to find interested folks offsite... I promise I'll be careful this time. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Retech Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Well, I knew that the session was not today, so I am not near anywhere done. Just thought of a few ideas, and read up on the mechanics of using automatic and semiautomatic weapons, since they weren't available in Crossroads. Master of your domain?

Earth Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nex, I don't want this character to be a tank, and I want something.. Simple. I don't want buffed stats, I don't want a [bleep]ton of skills.

Nexaduro Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Nex, I don't want this character to be a tank, and I want something.. Simple. I don't want buffed stats, I don't want a [bleep]ton of skills. Just something I can work with. Think you can make something better than what I've got right now from that?You haven't even spent a single throne, much less any exp. Of course I can make it better. :D Sounds like you want an action menu sort of thing? Attack, Defend, Flee, Ultima, et cetera. The Tech Priest has a few neat simple-activation abilities, though a few of them you'll want to be careful with, as they generate Fatigue (when it reaches a certain number, you're KO'd). You won't want Toughness as a dump stat, tank or no. A high Will would also do you good. For some reason most Tech Priest characters I hear about end up with blunt instruments lodged in their skulls, so you might do well with some... 'Discouraging' ordnance on hand. In my mind, that means Solid Projectile weapons rather than the traditional Las guns, but since there's little mechanical difference I'll try to keep practicality in mind. Knowing you, you'll want Intimidate as soon as it becomes available to TPs, though I'm not sure when that is, so it may be impractical... Feedback Screech is one little dealie that might serve to compensate, without necessarily needing any skill roll. I'll start getting stuff together tomorrow. One last thing you want to think about is character identity; Tech Priests are generally portrayed as little more than robots, and I doubt you could do the emotionless thing. Maybe something's wrong with your implants, or they never had the chance to work much on your cranial circuitry, or you're just consummately irrepressible. However you choose to play it, keep in mind that people will expect a sort of cold logic from you, so don't be surprised if they end up being surprised. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?
