2 Sisters of Battle Looking for a play by post Game

By Servant of Dante, in Dark Heresy Play By Mail/Email

Alright well, we'll play it like this.

Get all the stuff together you wish. and send me a "Final" character sheet through whatever means you please.

After I get all of those I will make the new thread where we will begin playing proper.

Sound good?

Will do.

I just need to write down / add the background now, then I'm all set. :)

Any update on links to finished characters?

Sorry if I seem overbearing. I'm excited, so if I'm getting on your nerves let me know and I'll tone it back.

I figure as long as I get them by Sunday we'll have finished character creation by two weeks, which is what I wanted, and that's fine enough for me.

Weasels just noticed that I never got any info on how the Inquisitor got ahold of you originally for this service. If you've got an idea.

Sorry for the wait. I've had a busy day (and will continue to have busy days). But I will make sure to check the threads at least once daily, and post something.

Here's Estelia Dolan's final character sheet!

That's fine, I'm lucky enough to exist in a job where I can lurk all day. So I just get myself excited.

Even then almost the weekend so hopefully some time frees up for everyone else.

Thanks for the sheet. One down, two to go.

I'm a bit sick these days so slow to work on the character's history. :(

I'll get her done until deadline though! Just need to find the energy to stir my creative juices for a bit of writing -- I've pretty much already have it in bulletpoints in my head, anyways, just need to put it in a fancy, more fleshed-out format. Let's see how I'm feeling tonight.

Sounds good, hope you get over your Con Crud soon.

I'm working on a more detailed background for Balthazar as well, I should have it done by the end of the weekend.

Basically, the Inquisitor found him when they visited Thaur. Balthazar was a priest and Remembrancer who discovered some cultists desecrating the sacred tombs of his world. He took it upon himself to hunt down such traitors, raising a mob of faithful citizens and destroying the cult. He continued his vigilante witch hunting until the Inquisitor found him. Noticing his devotion and his practical experience, the Inquisitor had the perfect job in mind...

I can dig it, and sounds good on the timeline, if you get it done sooner you know where to post it.

Well since I've gotten an update from all 3 of you, and know that two of you are working on it and know that I'd like it by sunday I'll get off lurking here and let you have your time.

Let me know if I can help in any ways.

Balthazar, the Inquisitor is a Female, I don't know how detailed you're going with your interaction with them, but I felt it prudent to at least give you the gender.

If there's any other basic info you'd like to know then go ahead, not sure if they talked with you in person after having found out about you, or just send someone to do so.

knife is a Kendachi-pattern mono-knife.

That last one is a reference to something . . . :P :lol:

A company in Cyberpunk that makes monoblades

Absolutely right! I just couldn't resist. CP2020 has some (IMO) awesome martial arts rules.

Now who (besides Lynata, who can do it off the top of their head) can tell me where the name Dolan comes from (this one is a 40K thing)?

And yes they do have great rules.. and PC die quick death if you don't think in combat

Well not off the top of my head, but Dolan's this guy no?:

Yep! I figure that might be something I should point out to the GM, because I expect that certain NPCs would recognize the name.

Oh, by the way, what year are we going to write in this campaign? Just asking in order to align various dates in the bios.

Also, I assume it would be okay if we arrive in a more "official" garb (dress robes)? I've written the character sheet with the undercover stuff she will deploy in, but that's probably not how the two of them will travel. Unless the Inquisitor would have requested a civilian cover effective immediately as they depart the Convent Sanctorum?

It's a minor thing as it would only play a role for a single scene (I assume), but still.

Is there an official year for Dark Heresy Second Edition beginning? I remember there being a discussion about it, but for the life of me I can't remember.

As for dress there will be a mission briefing beforehand and you can decide how to proceed with the investigation yourselves.

Apparently no canon starting date. So I'll have to make one:

3.911.867.M41

For my personal time keeping records this means it is essentially the 332 day of the standard Terran year.

I had just assumed that the game took place at the end of M41, since that is the default time for the TT game.

Apparently no canon starting date. So I'll have to make one:

3.911.867.M41

For my personal time keeping records this means it is essentially the 332 day of the standard Terran year.

365 * 0.867 = approx. 316 ?

365.25 (Terran Year)/1000 (0-999 on dating increment as they divided the year into 1000 parts since not every planet has 365.25 days in a year) = 0.36525 * 911 (randomly generated part of the year to start) = 332.7 (resulting day of the year didn't want to round up.)

3 - type of contact used to record date

911 - 1000th part of the year

867 - Year itself

M41 - Millennium

Ah, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

I had the order of the numbers confused

Just a brief status report:

I'm done writing the Birthplace and Schola parts of both Novices' backstory, but still need to write the Novitiate. I'll do so after a bit of sleep, though. Blame Servant for distracting me with an interesting discussion about Acts of Faith and theology in anime. :P

I've already run the Birth section past Servant; I have a feeling that the two of you, Doc and Weasels, will like it as well! ;)

SERVANT! *Shakes fist in air*

All cool. Like I said. By the end of the day if you can.

How's it going on your end?
