LF1 Player for RP-focused Campaign

By Traejun, in Black Crusade

I am a GM looking for a single player to join a campaign that is 1 session old. The player must fit the following:

1. Be VERY well versed in 40K fluff. You don't need to be a walking Codex, but you should know background and, most importantly, how various character archetypes would conduct themselves.
2. Be prepared to ROLEplay. The focus of this (and all my) campaign(s) is RP. Be prepared to do so in-character and via voice comm.
3. Have a mic and use it.
4. Be available on Sundays between 12:00 and 8:00 pm PST. Start times vary, but sessions will generally be about 3 hours and fit inside that range.

If you fit the above, keep reading...

The campaign I have in mind is sort of a mix of DW and BC. The characters are members of a Space Marine chapter that was wrongly(?) accused (and convicted) of heresy by a particularly influential inquisitor. The chapter was summarily attacked while gathered in conclave to discuss recent events and declared excommunicate traitoris . The players are survivors of the attack. They have no confirmation that any of their brethren have survived or where they may be, should there be any to be found.

While each player has their own opinion of what should be done and how they should go about it, there is a shared belief that the Inquisitor responsible should be punished and, perhaps in so doing, the name of the chapter can be cleared.

Note the folliwing:

  • More detail on the campaign will be given to those that express interest.
  • The players are NOT disciples of chaos, nor are they likely to become so. This is not Black Crusade. The characters are renegades in name only. Renegades that were thrust into that role though no action of their own.
  • The chapter was made by the players using the DW chapter creation rules. The selected player will be a member of this chapter. This is not negotiable. To that end, the character will be a space marine - noting that Chaplain, Apothecary and Librarian are taken; no further specialists are likely to be permitted.

With these details in mind, I seek another player to join the 4 already in the campaign. The existing players are members of my stable of players - those I have been GMing for exclusively for well over a year (3+ in some cases). That said, anyone expressing interest should have a strong personality and be willing to integrate themselves quickly into the flow of the campaign and the group dynamic.

If you are interested, reply to this thread stating your interest. That should be followed by a PM to me expressing your interest and with any questions you might have.

Can I be a Half-Eldar Librarian? :P

Only if the other half is Kroot.

Weirdest space marine ever. How would the helmet even fit?

Mk VI, baby... it's already got the beak. Also, gotta cut out the back of the helmet so the predator dreds can stick out.

I retract my previous statement. Best space marine ever!!

****. It just had to be on Sunday...

See, I'm on Australian Eastern Standard Time. 12 PM for you is 7am the next day for me. Now, if this was on Saturday I could work something out because I don't do anything Sunday, but Monday I'm normally working (Not next Monday because Australia Day but as a general rule...)

Any chance something can be worked out there?

And what benefits/weaknesses/history are you planning for the Chapter?

Sensguken: Send me a PM with your skype info. We'll chat.

I can play, but mic will be an issue. I've been a heavy text RPer for several years now, and I'm reaching the end of a Black Crusade campaign with another group so I'd absolutely LOVE to play if you're willing to let me play without a mic.

Nope... sorry. Text-based RP isn't my thing, and having a single player do so amid a group that speaks would be disruptive, at best.

It's what's done in my current group. D:

Well, unless there's a serious reason you can't use a mic, I'd recommend you grab one. While text is certainly fine for some people - it's terribly slow and you lose a lot of RP in text.

Just a thought.

The serious reason is that I ****** up my the physical inputs on my computer so I can't even use headphones.

Ouch! is this a laptop?

Yep. :/

I had another laptop which I'd been using to mic chat, but that one is kaput for the moment. That should be easier to fix than the inputs.

Alright, I'll bite. Sending a PM now if it's not too late.

This sounds really fun, but I'm unclear as to whether this is going to be run as a DW campaign, or a BC campaigns?

Mostly BC rules.

But, I am a rules-light GM. It's ROLEplay... not ROLLplay.
