http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/338623.page It's a bit of a read, but as I said just skim.

**shroud010**

ah fond memories of Syth39 a character that still lives as a giant mycromorph that drop out of existance

**Tyranic Marta**

:S not sure im entirely comfortable with the whole pick from 1-10 think, ill feel like im not in control of him...

**TheWildHost**

Meh, I guess a little

**shroud010**

OOC: personally i like sense it says hey you can't be immortal also and you can die at anytime

**Tyranic Marta**

sure, and thats cool for the people who havnt quite mastered the art of avoiding godding, but for those of us who are quite used to RPing and used to losing characters regularaly its a bit of a downer where we cant put our own personality on things

**halonachos**

I like it because it feels more like a Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader sort of deal. I think its also for when players end up fighting each other, makes it a lot easier just to roll a dice.

**Tyranic Marta**

oh yeah sure under those circumstances i completely agree, but for every encounter? sorry but im just not entirely comfortable with it,

ill go along with it cause i like the background

but if it becomes to much ill just leave

OOC: You get to make choices and have a personality. You show you characters through what you say in your dialog and your actions. My character has evolved completely through the RP. Your characters will be ok for the most part if you make good decisions and don't act like an idiot. A certain Conclave player decided to run headlong trying to break through a window on a moving tram when he had the option to stop the tram all together and walk in. He rolled, failed, and crashed into the side of the tram, broke his neck, fell a long distance, and was eaten by monsters. Suffice to say he deserved to die for that decision. It adds a element of realism while still allowing you to customize you character completely.

yes i have read the last game it was quiet good

I still laugh when I think about that.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

I can't remember that...

... oh well, still funny...

... and you made Dez die a hero, you bastard...

... I wanted him to live a coward...

**darksage**

"It's not what you do, it is how big the explosion is, and the people you kill allong the way that makes it all worthwhile," The Kaiser

He did go out with an explosion, so it was worth it.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

True, true...

... quoting me, I see...

dam that funney

i would of try to shoot the glass first to weaken it

**Tyranic Marta**

I guess thats true

well see how it goes, ive never done an rp like this b4 so it might be a bit shakey to start with but im sure ill cotton on

**halonachos**

Its actually kind of easy, you just think of what you want your character to do and then pick a number if you have to. Not too intense in the creativity department for players in my opinion.

**Tyranic Marta**

Thats why i dont like it as much XD i like the creativity

**Tyranic Marta**

if you need proof read, reapers RP about Fenris

**Mordoskul**

I hate to be 'that GM', but you guys send me your actions again?

**TheWildHost**

Actions for what? IM not sure what exactly were talking about

**halonachos**

Oh, you want us to PM the actions, will do.

What Must Stay Ours

Slipping into the shaft, DAB746151 lights the hand torch, illuminating the boxy tunnel as he slides down the turn leading downwards. He lands with a thump, hitting the metal plating with a hearty clang. Lifting his head in the bloody light, DAB746151 finds that the horrid din of inhuman screeching and the tearing of steel is now silent. Glaring at him from the gloom are dozens of pale, lifeless eyes, locked onto the soldier with an unblinking gaze. The blast door blocking their passage has been reduced to a shredded ruin, yet it is still jammed in the doorway, preventing the things from further pursuing their prey. The unmen continue to watch DAB746151, as if waiting for him to act.

On the surface, the com of the Specter intones. "Understood, proceed as designated." As the Foundry begins to lurch back into production, a squad of Murder Troopers enters through the ruined front gate, charge rifles at the ready, an Officer of the Thought Police at their head. The group walks along the line of workers, where the officer occasionally points one out to the squad, who respond in a flurry of laser fire that blackens the corpse of the thought criminal.

Detrivore

Rachel shushes James, indicating the closed door. "Listen, they've stopped trying to get in...."

As the panicked survivors of Beta Group rush down the left passage, the howling coming from behind them suddenly stops, and it seems that the entire world is holding it's breath. Peering out from a corner, Liz frowns as she looks back at the rest of the group; "They're gone...." The survivors now find themselves in front of an erratic door that rapidly opens and closes as if deranged, slamming back and forth with no discernible pattern.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

OOC: I sense so many Dead Space referances, its crazy...

... and awesome at the same time...

IC: "I think they have gone," I whisper to James and Rachel, taking out my pistol, and walking over to the door. "But I better make sure."

I open the door, and rush out, ready to fire.

**darksage**

"That wasn't even remotly smart Dez get back in here. Does anyone have something we can jam the door with?" James looks around the immediate area for the anything metal that could stay the door.

**halonachos**

"Command, it looks like the things have been stalled by some sort of door. They're looking at me kind of funny." Dab says as quietly as possible and avoiding all movement altogether. "They haven't advanced on me and blast doors are in their way, I doubt I can open it. Is there some chance you could somehow override it so that the things can continue?"

**shroud010**

maybe a grenade may take those doors down

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

OO: Darksage, I'll be right by the door, I see anything, I'll pop back in and close the door

**NHnighthawk13x**

Dean tries to interpret a path through the smashing doors but he decides not to try it because it is to much of a risk .
He begins searching the corridor for any over way out and tries not to make to much noise just in case those creatures
were still on beta groups tail. Dean signals James and says "i could all ways use one of my det'packs on the door but it might
gain unnecessary attention? or someone is going to have to try and get through it and hopefully not get turned into a very big
pancake ?"

**Tyranic Marta**

I hate to prod mordo but theres a coupla newbies here (Me

) waiting for an intro??
