Oh boy I finally get to type up Ravion's history, could take a while.

Remember this is not ravion, its the year m32, he ain't born yet, nothing too long I just need some info to use as a base for characters motivation etc.

But I shall read it!

It could be Ravion, the warp is known to quite frequently throw people backwards in time after all.

Welcome to golgotha.

Year: 273:227:m32
Segementum pacificus.
Calisthe system
Planet: golgotha
Pop: Human: 4.2 billion, mutant: 2.8 billion/aprox
Other: 370 million
Government: alternating autocracy, ecclesiarchy representative,
Religion: prime: faith of the eternal flame. Secondary: order of his holy emperors will.

Notable features: described as an "old terra" type planet, golgotha still has plentiful oceans, rich agriculture, boating 14 distinct continents golgothas climate is as varied as its people.

Diplomatic envoy: the imperium has had a diplomatic presence on golgotha since the end of m31, given the planets high resources and technical expertise, the imperium has been reluctant to bring golgotha into the imperial fold through military means, citing it as a waste of all too valuable resources,

Note: the newly founded ecclesiarchy has sent representatives to golgotha in the hopes of converting the local population to the imperial cult. This has met with little to no success amongst the human population, however, the mutant population has taken to the imperial creed with vigour. A side effect of this has led to the humans regarding the imperial creed as a "skabs" dogma

Notable locations:
Bato city: capital of the eternal flame (major faction)
Bato city is the prime city* on golgotha, it boasts the second largest human population on the planet, and the largest mutant population. The streets teem with life and is considered a "modern" world by imperial standards, it is rich in pre imperial architecture and has a thriving economy. It's main economic drive are its excellent pool of artisans (electronic), they produce many fine pieces of technology, mainly void shields, and personal fields, this has led to the mechanicus expressing and interest in the planet, a request thus far that has been refused.

It is due to its highly advanced defences that bato city is currently in ascendancy, as a result of.this the planet is undergoing an "arms" race, with bato cities main rivals continually trying to find ways to defeat its highly advanced defences.

The confederation of purtat being batos main rival, it's expertise with ballistic tech has led to an almost abandonment of las technology, the confederation has developed "breaker" tech to overcome many types of field tech.

Whilst golgothan "las" tech does exist, it is both extremely basic and currently dangerous to use, being dubbed "radders" by those unlucky enough to test them.

Hope I'm setting the scene here

Seems interesting, still need to write my character fluff at some point and find a suitable model.

WTF is all this about?

We're starting a mini inquisitor campai.gn gorrila, mainly it's to see if people like it, and if so, we can.do a proper one

Ok so a few pointers for all who are playing.

Play smart: for new people inquisitor can be quite daunting, its a complicated set of rules, you cannot and will not be able to pick it up in a few games like 40k. It's.my job as gm to know.the rules.and help smooth the game along.

Cover, sneak, think: this game is brutal, if you dont make use of cover, skills and use your brain, you will.die, no one wants there beloved character to get cut in half or shot through the face, so use your smarts, if you dont.think you can win dont.be afraid to run away, come up with interesting ideas to aid this, this game is about narrative more than rules, if.you come up with something cool and its not in the rules, dont worry, it's my job to allow you the freedom to do crazy stuff.

Character!: you are your character, "but" I hear you.say "I know lots about 40k", yes thats true, but your character doesn't, try not to make decisions based on what your characters dont know, you as a player know what a khorne bezerker is, but does your character? You can clearly see thet gang of muties coming at you on the tabletop, but your character cannot see them, this brings me to my next point.

Communicate: talk to each other, when your minis are close this is simple, but what about if they are across the board? Shout! Or invest in communication equipment, everything in this game has a use.

Not in the face!!: another thing to consider is injury, it will happen, taking a gunshot to the leg can be.very traumatizing and as such this can negatively affect your character, guns shops are important to find... But so are doctors..but what if your trying to lay low? Go find a vet...use your brains gents

Background: this one is mainly for me, I need to know that your acting in character, for.example.we.can't have a dark eldar character being bff with a.deamonette, or a isstavanian aiding a thorian, remember you all have motivations for being part of the inquisition.

Ask questions: seriously, if you need to know something just ask, but.not just me, if you find a lasgun all damaged and what not...ask a guard character "yo bra.. Can you fix dis shiz niz" (eldar speak funny) and we can take a look see, I will handle npcs but it's up to you lot to aid each other...or not...dum dum duuuuuum

So whats everyone playing on Monday night then, i got 40k, Warmahordes and Bloodbowl team manager now with Sudden Death expansion that i'll be bringing.
Anyone fancy a game?

Really hope this gets its target

Inquisitor was fun last night, can't believe I failed so many nerve tests though.

Anyone want to try out Kings Of war? You can use your warhammer armies

At some point I'll give it a go, need to get an army first. Did you get my pm?

I'm probably going to bring some warmachine with me monday night, namely Cryx but ony 25 points if someone is up for a game, i'll also bring Malifaux too

I probably will be, though I'll have to work out a list.

Just got back from Lazarbowl, finished second with 3 landslide victories and 1 2-0 loss.

More info here

Working on an idea for a skirmish wargame, I'll post some details if anyone's interested.

Just a reminder for everyone, next week we will be gaming on Tuesday due to the bank holiday.

Anyone for a game this monday?

Well I don't have anything planned.

What would you like to play?

Well dreadball is always a good option but aside from that I can't really think of anything. Don't have many armies ready to be used for other systems.

Quick heads up everyone, I won't be able to get in on Monday, my car has broken down. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hope it's fixed soon bud, who's doin what tonight?

I'm back for a little, got me some Protectorate of Menoth, though I've not read the full rules for Warmachine yet, and I have two Megacons for Mercs, if anyone wants a demo

Well I took it to a local garage today, should know tomorrow what wrong. Oh and I'm doing bugger all tonight, might even pick up a paint brush.

Really quite pissed off about the car though as I've had to pull out of the Warzone Kickstarter.

I would like a mercs demo, will be down in 2 weeks.

Car should be fixed tomorrow, so I should almost certainly be able to get down next week as per usual.
