I'm looking into starting up a Play-by-Post game, either for Dark Heresy or Only War. Unfortunately, I will only have time for one. This thread is to see where the interest is. Please reply if you'd like to join a Dark Heresy PbP game.
Play-by-Post Game Interest Gathering
Dark Heresy.
I might be interested. Would it be possible to know what kind of game we're talking about? Which Ordos? Radical or Puritan? Action or investigation oriented?
Dark Heresy. Don't have the supplement, sadly.
@Gurkhal: It's impossible to know for sure, but establishing some of those things would be our first order of business as a newly-formed group. While in the Imperium Acolytes don't get to choose their Inquisitor, here in the 21st Century I think it's absurd to force a group to play in a radical xenos campaign when they want to play pure daemonhunters.
Concerning investigation and combat, I'd like to be able to tailor that aspect to the group as well. From experience, however, I feel obligated to inform you that in Play-by-Post games, combat takes an extremely long time (sometimes weeks or months), so I will tend towards investigation unless the group is very good about posting quickly.

This all sounds good to me, I'm in. The reason I was asking was that I figured that you may have had a game planned in advance and thus it might have built on that the group was one thing or another.
I'm definitely up for some investigation. By the way, for rolls, will we be using the honor system or an online roller based on the site we'll be using?
My preference would be Ordo Hereticus campaign in a hive setting, but I'm open to other suggestions.
I prefer open ended scenarios with a focus on personal storylines, with a good mix of horror and memorable cinematic combat.
I don't have any real preferences regarding Ordos, faction or Radical-Puritan axis. I kind of love them all and would like to play whatever we may run into. The only thing I have decided myself for is that I'm aiming to play a psyker.
I've never played in a pbp game, but I am definitely interested. I'd like to play as an Arbitrator in an Ordo Hereticus campaign, personally. Setting doesn't matter too much to me. Investigation definitely preferred. Radical/Puritan doesn't matter to me.
What website will we be playing on?
Below is the freeforum created specifically for this game. I'm still working on some pages, but feel free to hop over there, make an account, and Reply to the "Getting Started" thread.

I agree with this.
And now I have posted my interest, as well as three character concepts; a psyker, an adept and a cleric.
What rank would these characters be starting out as? I have a rank 3 Scum from an old Dark Heresy PbP that I'd love to play again.
