Transmission:Greetings my Liege, and good tidings from Mighty Sibellus, City of Lords. I have arrived and set about the task you have given us. Subjects 1 through 13 have been located as surveyed. The operation has entered its second phase. The advice and Perspicacity of T.D. were invaluable as always in these matters. I, myself, fail to see anything of particular note amongst the target individuals. They are neither especially clever, nor obviously formidable. Indeed, six subjects have perished during initial vetting, and two more have lost their bearings and were well, unfortunately, given the Emperor's mercy. What can be said of the remainder has yet to be seen. Perhaps one among them is graced with that truest sign of the Emperor's favor: Luck. Or perhaps this was all for nothing...**** but this is unforgiving work...Nevertheless, I will see it through...Our numbers have been decimated by recent events, and your methods always prove wise by journey's end. Oh, but How I long for the quiet certitude of the master's Libraries and the serenity of the estate grounds. Hive air does not suit my constitution...

As Alway, Your Humble Servant

S.A. Nullius

We're looking for a few good humans...

I, too, would like to advertise for players. I'm starting up a PBP run-through of published Dark Heresy Material. I'd only gotten as far as completing one PC prelude story and slightly through half of two others when I lost the other two players. "The fall of the House of Drake" is complete, and this character will take part in the campaign. "At What Price Victory" and "The Shadow of His Hand" are incomplete, but still make good reads. I'm looking for a couple more. The process will run down the same way...You can have a look at the extant material to get an idea of how these preludes go. They are basically short, one-off adventures in which you can get to know your character, earn a little extra experience, and decide whether you want to continue on into a campaign. Each tale has two corresponding threads. A narrative thread, and a 'tabletop thread where OOC discussions and dice-rolling takes place. The narrative threads are titled like short stories, and the 'tabletop threads' are self evident. You can find the example stories at.

That's at www.StoryCrafter.com. The campaign is called 'Calixis Confidential.'

I'm looking to run one prelude at a time, so just one new player for now is all I need. Player characters are the product of random rolling and a good deal of creative thinking, so I'm looking for hyper-creative players who are willing to work with what they roll up rather than Players who come to me with existing characters. I like to think of the process as collaborative storytelling, but the dice are still king.

Once a couple more preludes are complete, the players can then decide to proceed onwards to the campaign.

If Anyone's interested, PM me here or on Storycrafter.com. I'll be checking periodically.
