Ditto. Last week and this week are hectic busy, but after that it'll hopefully get going

We have a new player! Wereat is unable to play, but his place has been taken by LoganWolfborn who will be playing an arbitrator. Character sheet coming up

And another! JMZ will be bringing a scum to this party.

And with that we'll call it on people getting in, Melissia, Redkommando, NimbleJack, Doom, Logan and JMZ. A Dialogous, a Psyker, an assassin, a guardsman, an arbitrator and a scum walk into a bar...

...And are all promptly sucked into the machinations of a deranged inquisitor, where they end up mad, dead, the meat-sock of a Daemon or somewhere where they don't need eyes.

Hooray for Dark Heresy! I can't wait.

Greetings all. Looking forward to gaming with you. Whipped up a Scum/Metallican Gunslinger character last night, so hopefully Motyak will approve it and I can die with the rest of you,...erm, I mean, can fight for the Emperor,....which is essentially the same thing as I recall.

Updated your character to the post with the others, just waiting on doom and logan, and for this week to be over, whichever comes second.

Thanks. Realized there are some typos in there but nothing too bad.

Looking forward to the start of this, may even do a drawing of my character for the hell of it when I have a free chunk of time.

A quick look at Kiern Mordeci
as drawn by me.

That is so freaking cool! Bravo!

So I'm fair itching to get underway, we are just waiting on the last 2 character sheets.

Thanks, any luck on the other sheets yet? Would love to see this start up soon.

I don't want to do this anymore. You guys are on your own.

I'm kidding. Logan is sending me his tomorrow or the day after, and if I don't have doombreed's by then, I'll just cut it there and we'll get going.

Now, for a question which you guys probably don't want to hear from your GM...How does PbP work? I'm assuming we get a posting order just as if we were sitting around the table, and go from there, altering the order when it comes to combats and the like. Correct? Or way off.

Thats how I would do it

That sounds about right to me. That's how it usually works (aside from the posting order changing from combats, but we have to adjust for initiative here) in another roleplay forum I go to.

Sounds good to me.

Feth me, motyak. You gave me a heart attack.

I've always played PbP with everyone posting in no particular order, except in combat where everyone posts in initiative order.

Gonna be good to start playing soon!

I think for order (and my sanity's) sake we'll start with an order initially, but if its dragging or not working, we can always experiment.

It sure will. I've PM'd Logan and Doom with a last call, and if they aren't in by the end of the week, then they aren't in. And we can begin getting your characters killed

I'm thinking of the posting order being the order you guys were recruited to this Inquisitor's party (i.e. the order you first posted). That'd make it;
1. nimblejack
2. redkommando
3. Mel
4. Doom (if hes in)
5. JMZ
6. Logan (if hes in)

Shweet

For The Emperor

Hey everyone, kickoff is next Tuesday Aussie time (I have an assignment due Monday). Logan will probably be in, doom I'm not so sure of.

Keen,


And we started a Cult Motyak

Ok so how roleplay-ey will we make it, will it all be 'in character', or will we simply be describing what the characters do rather than using 'I'.

I think we should do it in a descriptive way rather than actually playing as the character. You can describe their actions, their words, but you don't have to actually post 'Come back here you cretin', instead you'd post 'My character shouts out at the cowardly man, until he stops running' or whatever.

I'd like your input on this, because this is for your enjoyment, and if you'd rather do it with you putting in actual speech and what not then we'll do it like that.

For myself, I'm using first person only whenever my character talks.

For example:

Upon seeing the signal, Engelhart pushed the door open for her partner. She was standing to the side of the door, ready to help it be cleared-- but, being something of a noncombatant, she was the last one to enter the room. This gave her an unfortunate view of the enemies sneaking up on the cadre of acolytes, and so she rushed in to the room and slammed the door. "I see we're being followed... should we lay a trap?"

That wouldn't necessarily be an entire post, but there yo ugo.

Third person sounds good.

Cool. I'm picking up the Inquisitor's Handbook tomorrow, very excited. It'll make this a bit easier and give you guys access to more equipment

A LOT of new equpment . Basically half of the ~200 page book is pure equipment lists, description, and fluff.

I see that y'all are full up at the moment, but if a space opens up give me a shoutout, I've been itching to play

Pretty much. *salivates as well*

It is pretty awesome.

Now a question regarding GMing, will I just butt in at the start of each post-cycle, or interject randomly with whatever I please? I'm leaning towards the 'butting in whenever is necessary, in addition to the start of each post-cycle'. Tell me your opinions

Whenever you feel is neccesary to advance/run the game, I guess.

You know what? Stuff it, I'm excited. We'll start this evening. I'll do what I saw alpharius mention in the WFRP thread and start a topic in the chain fiction/survival games thread this evening, sound good?

That sounds amazing. Ready and waiting.

Checked in, looking forward to seeing what happens on that board, and will likely end up posting in third person with first person conversation.

Question I have is, the stipend, is that accessible beforehand, or once we arrive?

You receive it with the data packet containing the briefing, so it is available from on board the Brazen Sky and onwards, not in your pre-game character set up.

Question, when there is something you can uncover with a test, should I prompt you, or should I leave it be and let you figure it out yourself? Or would it be on a situational basis...probably that actually.

In addition, when we are talking lets direct our words at someone, I find open ended things difficult to follow (for example asking 'are you coming with us'). It could be directed at me, could be a lead on for red's character, could be for any of the people involved, it seems confusing.

Or maybe thats just me failing hard.
