Hopefully better than the last one. I am considering dropping the minor victory/defeat and leaving a "draw" in its place. Of course it would be smaller than it is now.
I like the minor defeat/victory. You can still make progress with them, or not lose much. But, for the sake of trying new things, say I'm trying to assassinate Edgar, and roll a draw. What would happen? I'm curious as to how it can be a draw without it being a minor victory/defeat in all but the name, if that makes any sense.

It gets too fuzzy when I have to come up with minor victories or minor defeats, but I can do a draw, where something bad happens to the enemy and something bad happens to you.
So, in that particular case, Edgar would be shot and then the Kroot assassin would be mugged? The nice part about a minor victory would be the Kroot would escape, but probably be injured. The defeat means someone dies, and I won't like who. I'm not complaining though, I rolled, and got a defeat. It seems like draws are going to be very bloody rolls...
Agreed. Minor victories work best for situations which simply can't work as draws (eg. assassinating a target)
With the minors, you can win, but lose heavy casualties, or lose, but not lose many men. It's just like how the major means you lose either hardly any men or most of them.
Also, 56+ major defeat? As in, anywhere between 45-55 can't be a major defeat?
I'm not sure if this was noticed, but now people can guarantee that they never get a major defeat without modifiers? Is that intentional?

I haven't incorporated modifiers yet and I won't unless I can come up with some good negative ones.

So, is the 45-55 effect intentional then?
A little. If I can come up with negative modifiers that can make it so you will be "majorly defeated" within 50, maybe 40 or 30 for the most severe cases, but then add some positive modifiers to counter act it.

2) I kinda cheated when I spelt Kyrkk'ryk'ykk, due to typing everything on my phone, the keyboard remembers certain phrases that I typed, so I always typed 'kyr' and then it automatically fills in the rest. For once autocorrect is helpful.
In all honesty they're npc, and I won't count them as a force when rolling, but it's nice to add some colour to the guys helping out.
I have learned that trees are evil and must be destroyed at all costs before they grow too powerful. I just wanted to eat them! *Hive Mind cries in the corner*
As the local Wood Elf representative, if you want to chop down the trees I'm going to need to you to fill out the required paperwork.

Let me know when your lawyer gets here
Warrior #873,683,956 approaches the mountain of paper work. It attempts to pull the first sheet off, but stabs through all of the paper with his talons.

I'm hoping I'll have time to sit and read the topic properly this weekend. I've been on my iPhone all week and it's impossible. Looking forward to it greatly.
For saying I'm in a forest, I've not been touched by the trees. Hell, I uprooted them with my Riptides and never noticed a thing. Maybe it's only in the north?

I'm sorry for your pain. But this post was really funny.
So I decided to break the Governor's feast into two parts because I spent six pages on just talking about people hanging out at a fancy party. (In the 41st millennium)
Part one is the intro, basically everybody making their entrance to the party and a bunch of character banter. This is six pages of just scene building (I kinda went a little nuts and did a bunch of character building, if there's anything you guys want me to remove or change please don't hesitate to tell me. Their your characters I tried to do them justice.)
The second part will be what actually happens at the feast and where the rolls come in.
Anyways let me guys know what you think anything need changing, little facts need a fixing, please tell me.
PS if you want to do some Couples Crusade junk I'd be happy to include it a fancy party does seem like an appropriate place for those gushy bitz. Just PM it to me or post it yourself

If it makes you feel any better, I'm working on writing up two different defeats. One being for Gorgrim BadToof and the other for Ta'lok's kin. I'll get Edgar eventually, my bad luck can't hold out forever, right?

Great work Robin and EoN. The dialogue of the harlequins is great. As for the Flayed Legion, I love how you played into the ork's barbaric pride and forced them to step into a trap they knew about.
As for the Predator reference, I can't seem to find it, what is it, if someone is willing to share?
I happened to have just watched Predator last night, so I accept the challenge as well. If my Kroot get into the jungles it will be easy for me to make Predator references left and right in there. And I think Grulkin is the perfect candidate for a "I ain't got no time to bleed" type character. If only Kroot were a bit more accepting of technology, a cyborg kroot would be rather intimidating.
Although I should keep quiet about that, in case any of BC's EC overhear that I'm looking for improvements on my Kroot.
The first one. I've been on the hunt for the others (and the Alien movies, for that matter) and found it at a pawn store. I'm well aware that the Internet has the best bet for getting the movies, but it's turned into a matter of pride for me to find the hard copies of them.
Lately I've been lamenting to myself on how it'd be nice to have a subfaction of kroot that are more embracing to technology. Shoulder mounted laser cannons and wrist blades would go a long way to enhance the kroot, methinks.

I can see that working. Btw, how can't you find the movies? I got the box set a while back, went into my local store, and found it again for half price...Maybe its just Aus but still...Shouldn't be that hard to find...
Tbh, I prefer the Alien Movies to the Predator franchise. And I absolutely hate the AvP...
My local stores don't know culture. I can't find something like Dance Dance Revolution without trying, but good classic movies like Alien? No can do. But I think I've derailed this thread enough with personal issues about movie hunting, so you all have my apologies about that.

Sure. Go right ahead. We've got prime real-estate with plenty of development opportunities and even a nice Webway Gate, so you've got your transport links as well! Everything you could possibly need for a holiday home or budding planetary campaign. Just try not to talk to the Solitaire - not only is she very annoying, but by nature of being what she is, I hear regular Eldar tend to find her kind of terrifying. But still! Transport links!

Ah, good real-estate, lovely neighbors, one of whom is bat-gak crazy. Love it. I'll try to write up a blurb about my forward scouts basically zooming into your camp and letting everyone know what's going down
Hey now, if the Eldar get lonely the Kroot are always happy to have an extra buyer. I'll make sure to not bring Meenos (though him and the Solitaire might find a common ground between them, but maybe not, who knows with harlequins).
I've been thinking about how the different 'friendly' xenos groups would meet, and I'm mostly stumped. With Smudge's Tau snooping on the Imperial meeting, he might stumble on the kroot compound set up on that same island, and might hit it off there, provided they don't accidentally kill each other, thinking the other side is a part of the Empire.

I do think the "friendly" xenos should have a meet-up at some point. Just to establish that we're not going to shoot each other
Suppose if i was being picky my chapter have packs instead of companies and a alpha marine instead of captain, but due to the sheer scale of the piece i dont mind
Tbh I've been thinking of trying to meet up with your Eldar WK. My previous Chapter Master was great mates with several Craftworlds, only fighting them ever once (Where Carcharadons left me to die), so in a way of honouring his memory, I was thinking maybe finding some trace of your existance and maybe trying to get into contact with you...I'd keep all this from Kharne of course...
I agree, but how will we meet? We can hardly send a planet wide vox message out like the Imperials might. I could see the Eldar using the webway to get around to each xenos HQ, so I guess I answered my own question?

Cool.
You showing up in our camp will probably throw us off-guard a bit, too. We were intending to come to you with a bit of prepared blagging to try and determine what you knew about whatever was going on around here. You coming to us? We won't be prepared, we'll be off our bluff game somewhat.
On the other hand, given his gross underestimation of the local Orks, Feubryn will probably be rather happy to have some more direct military force around, so it's a fair trade-off.
I'm looking at plans at the moment - I've got one significant plan in mind that will be rather useful long-term if it works, and I'm thinking of ideas to trim the Ork population at minimum risk. I reckon these Huorns (that's basically what the trees seem to be, after all) have a lot of potential...

Clipped to the backpack? It makes it more of a cloak rather than a coat, but it makes sense, seeing as how it'd let him be hands free. Pure speculation of course, but it makes sense to me.

Well the whole purpose of being there is that they don't get attacked, plus, my fleet can hold it's own. It would also start moving towards Crion should the danger present itself

You are Space Marines, not cowards. Have the mighty Space Sharks forgotten how to hunt?
Remember what happened the last time there was a threat that attacked all of the imperium forces at the same time? Only 1-2 actually defended themselves from it. I sincerely doubt a single company could defend against much when it comes to void warfare.
I should clarify, I mean they're on the outskirts of Crion (Far enough away that they aren't quite seen)
So now that I have confirmation that WK's Eldar are on planet. I'll not spoil the story.
And as far as numbers go, they're not a typical company, since they operate on their own and have to be self sufficient there are some changes. Not any significantly large ones.

They packed four rhinos to capacity, and another two razorbacks. They were accompanied by ‘Danc Maimes’ and ‘Light of Edun’, both Destructor pattern.[/spoiler]
Yep.
In other news, I just lost my segment draft. Argh.
In other news, I apparently rolled really well to hide my new base from prying Space Sharks eyes, and I was "welcomed" by the living fauna. Need to talk to TS about what the feth that means. My number was 50, Chazz rolled 57, I think that's the best I've done in either Crusade

Which means my base is hidden by extension! This whole 'landlord' deal is really working out, so far, I've got to admit.

Welcome to the crusade!
1) Pick a faction. First page has a roster of current factions that people are using.
2) Decide where to spawn. First page also says where everywhere is and has maps (convenient, right?)
3) PM Chazz or Tactical Spam about you force, why they want to be here, etc. Nothing too in depth, just a general description.
We use a rolling system, like DnD and such. When you want to to an action that attacks/influences an area, PM a GM (Chazz does everything with the main planet, and TS is wildlife and the moons, see the map and that will make more sense). In the PM, say what you want to do, and give a number 1-100. The GM will roll a number with a generator, and the closer the two numbers are, the better the result.
If you have any questions, complaints, etc, please let my manager know.

Welcome to the crusade!
1) Pick a faction. First page has a roster of current factions that people are using. 2) Decide where to spawn. First page also says where everywhere is and has maps (convenient, right?) 3) PM Chazz or Tactical Spam about you force, why they want to be here, etc. Nothing too in depth, just a general description.

Also, one small reminder. Do not, under any circumstances, feed the Emperor's Children. Not before midnight, not after, just don't. We're hoping that if they don't get people food, they will just leave us all alone and find something else to play with.
Welcome to the Crusade. You'd be our second Ork player (besides some Feral Orks, but they dont' count in this case). Just get ahold of one of our oh-so mighty GM's to get started.
More orks? Welcome aboard! Currently, I'm the only one running orks, and the place is overwhelmed with ferals. It will be nice to see more greenskins around here, lootin' and fightin'.
Now, we have a few things to go over, as the welcome initiation.
1) On the first page you'll see a map, pick a suitable place to deploy. Do note that the roster has where others are deployed, and some places cannot be deployed on.
2) Please send a PM to Chazz or Tactical Spam about yout force, what they want out of the crusade, who the leader is, etc. Nothing too in depth, just a little outline. Tactical Spam is in charge of wildlife and the moons, while the planet is Chazz's domain.
3)Sign here, agreeing that any casualties coming from trees are not our fault, and that you will not be able to hold a trial against us for said casualties.
Sincerely, Kroot Shaper Ta'lok. (Proofread and approved by Gorgrim BadToof) Hope you enjoy your time in the crusade.

Thank the lord, Blackjack is here with his notes. You are saving me a lot of time when you help the new people, friend.
I am waiting to see what will come out of the banquet, I am also not sure where I want to go with my guys now, they fought Chaos, they know a bit about, but that's not a lot to go with to find cultists.
I'm happy to help, TS. Plus I haven't been in the best of health lately, so I didn't want to do much writing because I'd be worried that it'd be nonsensical, or end up very short, like my ork addition I made a couple days ago. So, if I can help with giving people the right direction when they climb aboard this heresy train, then I might as well do that.
Also, now I picture Ta'lok sitting behind a desk with stacks of papers piling around, and he's got old reading glasses on the end of his beak as he sorts through it all.
Sure. I had an idea that in Ta'lok's absence, the Kroot by your AM would be lead by a council of three, who in turn report to Ta'lok.
Those Shapers would be: Re'gol, Ang'ne, and Nettel. The former two being males and the latter being a female. Do anything you like for their personalities.
I suppose you're looking for foot soldiers as well:
Voskar
Gorok (props to anyone who gets the reference)
Berik
Kira

Has Ta'lok gotten around to reading my request for the complete extermination of all trees on Crion?(They deserve it) They seem to have become a nuisance for many people(me). I also apologize about the handwriting. My lawyer isn't that good with things made of paper.
EDIT: Sorry I haven't given my welcome to the 2 new players. Welcome to the Crusade! I'm Kharne, the leader of the nicest and probably most Grimdark of the factions here.
Suppose for the newcomers sake i'll just let ye know im writing for my custom space marine chapter the Emperor's Hounds, however im not writing at the moment as im awaiting my leader to return from the banquet.

You may be surprised. I'm not here to fluff-bend, but they are very early 30K era, so have reasonable honor / self image still.
In a 3 way fight, they'd usually wait until the other two sides had finished before joining the dance.
And in a choice between imperial or xeno, they'll ignore one in preference of the other in the majority of cases.

If you're near the nids, you're near the Eldar, too. My Harlequins are based in Jorgon (second region from the top), and War Kitten's Craftworlders have joined me there, too.
Indo-Cambria's about to start heating up, I think!
Excellent work, Palleus. That's definitely a strong start to the crusade. Now, perhaps Gorgrim and Hannibal will get along? Gorgrim likes flashy tech and Hannibal seems like he can provide it. The main problem is that I'm on a moon and you're on the main planet, but it would be nice to have our greenskins work together in the future.
Hello all, I'll be joining Crusade of Fury (in Hotch) and just posting my quick intro here to make sure I don't step on anyone's toes.
Spoiler:
Sheagoresh the Laughing Fool, arebennian (Solitaire) of the Masque of the Silent Shroud, who had slaughtered the world of Sanctus Draco II without a sound, stepped out of the webway onto the grassy hillock, overlooking the lush landscape of Hotch, a region of Crion, and looked out upon the world . He had no idea what was so special about this planet but he knew what he had to do. The Book had explained it in great detail, every act he had to perform, every victory and defeat, and the Masques of the Silent Shroud and the Reaper's Mirth were ready to see their God's will through, until the Final Dance had been completed,and the Great Fool's plan was finally revealed in its entirety.
Sheagoresh looked out over Hotch. It was a lush region, filled with jade shrubbery that wrapped around the clowns' feet and towering trees topped with wide pink leaves. However, the landscape drastically changed as it neared the hive city Torcan and minor city New Pavus. Here, field upon field was filled with crops and rusting technology that bent over the plants like old men. And the cities themselves-especially Torcan-were masses of building like sores across the skin of Crion, metal monstrosities packed with people.
"So this world is the stage,"Nysshea margorach (Death Jester) of the Masque of the Reaper's Mirth said, laughing cruelly as she stalked up to Sheagoresh, "I shall enjoy performing this act." And she erupted into manic laughter, dancing away from the Solitaire as she thought of painting her gory masterpiece upon the face of Crion.
The Masque of the Reaper's Mirth are masters of ironic murder, taking their God's bloody humour to the extreme, using battlefields to paint grisly pictures of death. For them, it is not enough to simply kill their enemies- they must be made examples of in the most extravagant manner. They take sardonic pleasure in inventive cruelty and in enacting performances of genocide and mass destruction. Because of this, the masque attracts more Death Jesters to it.
The Masque of the Silent Shroud acts in absolute silence, its Players speaking not a word. Their movements are but the softest sigh of silk upon the air. Even their weapons are muffled through technology and illusion, the hiss of gunfire and the clash of blades echoing dimly as through piercing the veil from another realm. This unsettles their foe, and often disorients them. Everything this masque does is veiled in secrecy and stealth, and it often appears from nowhere to stage impromptu performances without need for stage or accompaniment.
The Solitaire watched as the Death Jester pranced back in the mass of whirling bodies, then turned towards Hive Torcan. It had seen the Reaper's Mirth dance before, and knew that they would not leave this planet without staining it red. And it had every intention of helping in this endeavour, along with the Silent Shroud, for that was the Laughing God's will. And so, covered by a veil of tears, he lead the Harlequins towards the hive, the first part of a Cegorach's Great Plan for this world.
BASICALLY (I never was very good at writing):Two masques of Harlequins led by Sheagoresh the Solitaire have come to Crion to stop it providing food to the rest of the system because it instructs the Harlequins to do so in Cegorach's crystal book and tells them how to do this.
P.S. Should I wrote posts in the actual thread normally (like above and how most people do) or in the style of a play-script. There won't be any motives for why the characters are doing what they're doing if I go for the play-script, but it might be a fun idea for Harlequins. Please leave your thoughts on this.
I'd probably recommend against writing it as a play-script in a story with a multi-writer format like this, if you're asking for opinions. It definitely sounds like a good idea for a solo story, though!
In any case, I can really see my Masque clashing with yours - mine are more Light in personality, Twilight in operation, while yours seem to be very Dark all the way.
The story I had in mind with my own Solitaire is actually helped along quite nicely by the appearance of your crazy murder Masque, by the way, so thanks for inadvertently becoming a very convenient plot device!

No problem, and I'll stick with writing it normally.

Thanks! That may be a cool pair up. You be the Gork, and I'll be the Mork
Oh, and thanks for providing the raw materials for his startup Iron Horde, by the way!
In all honesty they're
