Is Irish still active? If not who do I send my rolls to? Pyrolachi?

I haven't heard from Irish for quite a while unfortunatly. And yes, just send it to me.

Edit: Nevermind, whew my memory is a mess. PM sent

Nice post Bob. I am still working on mine.

Thanks!

So Drakka77, how does it look? Will you join us?

Yea, sorry I had it half typed up then work cycled up to really busy. They switched me to night shift on environmental testing.

And I am on my assault pioneer course, so a little busy as well.

@ Drakka: no problem, just wanted to check in.

@ Bob: sounds interesting. If you are allowed to share: what does an assault engineer do? Is it stuff like going in, plant a charge, blow a whole, get the other dudes in?

In a nutshell, yeah, a mix between a combat engineer and an infantryman.

Stubborn as I am I'm not really willing to carry this to the grave yet. How is it going? Drakka77: would you still post something?
And where is everybody else? Irish, you still there?

And if not and this Crusade has completely lost its momentum: anyone interested in trying again?

Hey guys I recently got bit by the Nostalgia bug and was wondering if you all would like to give a new Crusade a shot or if you all are playing one currently I'd love to join.

This Crusade unfortunatly "died" in its infancy. But if some people are willing to start new, I'm in. Or alternatively if one wants to continue where we left of, I'm down for it too.

Inactivity and IRL are often the bane of these endeavors. I'm not sure how the first crusade avoided such troubles but even the second one succumbed to real world priorities towards the end.

Saying all that I have a new job and schedule although a baby is coming soon. I recently felt the urge to write about 40k fiction again though so if something happens lemme know!

Yeah the first crusade of fury was just lightening in a bottle but I've been itching to write something 40k again

Maybe we aimed to high with what we tried here. Maybe one should narrow the focus significanlty in time as well as space. For example aim for the fight around a single city, with some 100-1000 Dudes per "Player". Or rather an equivalent force, like 1000 Guardsmen = 10 Marines = 5 Custodes or whatever. And a timeframe of some days to weeks in game and 4-5 posts outtime. Thats should be finishable before it "dies". And if people are then still interested, the next city or surrounding area can be attacked or everybody gets some reinforcements.

Just a thought.

I was thinking of incorporating discord for OOC purposes, mainly due to the fact that I forget about good ole Dakkadakka from time to time. I also don't get notifications if something happens here. I would still like to post stories on here though, so it would be OOC off dakka but the crusade itself on dakka. Maybe that's too much of a disconnect, maybe we need a dakka dakka app.

Maybe the timing was just right for everyone Involved in the first crusade and never to be replicated again.
