Are the chaos players sharing a base? Or do we get an area each?

Ok... I can do that... Anything else?

We will all be in the same base but we will each have our own sections.

What do you want in yours?

I think Chaos has a main base where all of us have our own quadrant or section, but each of us can decide to build their own base wherever they want I suppose (in case you don't want to walk through the bloodstained halls of the Khornates, the rotten district of the Nurglites or the beautiful interior decorating skills of the Slaaneshi every morning).

Pretty much, I'm designing the base so we don't get confused. Each will have their own sector. I need you people to tell me what you want in your section besides the required stuff

Hold the phone, you said five originally.
All of my crew is human, and so are most IG characters people have. Not to mention regardless of aging, most combat humans won't survive nearly thirty. IG are expected to last one deployment, sometimes two.

One or two officers may afford rejuvenate, but 27 years is fething over pretty much anyone with humans from CoF 1.

Chazz said he wants it 27 years.

Chazz should have said this before people were choosing who to bring over from CoF 1.
It's no big deal for a 500 year old marine, but it's a pain in the ass for near everyone else.

Well, the Remnants need the following, besides regular stuff like an armoury and beds:

- Holding area (for 'interrogating' captured enemies)
- Garage/Parking lot (I got a bunch of vehicles in the first Crusade, and I need a place to repair/stock them)
- Separate shower area (no way the Sorcerer and co. are going to shower next to BC's Emperor's Children. Seriously, one comment about the Sorcerer's butt and people are going to get wrecked. And don't even get me started on the usage of... 'oils' *shudders*)

The only additional facility I'll need is a laboratory. Just don't tell the loyalists what it's for.

Um excuse me, Sylus is 450 something

I had problems with it too, but his explanation for why was too good to pass up.

Oh god, I'm getting flashbacks of Trisburg...

Yeah I can do all that, anything else

Now that I think of it, a library, if possible. After all, the Sorcerer likes to read bed-time stories to the other Remna- I MEAN, READ UP ON ARCANE SPELLS TO WREAK HAVOC ON THE MORTAL REALM. YES.

Jokes aside, if there's a quiet, slightly run-down spot where the Sorcerer can set up a small library, that would be cool.

Yeah Ezra, I can do that. I too, have plenty of sorcerers and a library.

And TS, I think it would help people if we knew what the explanation one.
Doesn't help us if we don't know...

then again I do have Necrons

It would ruin the surprise if I told you.

I like surprises.... TELL ME DAMNIT

I get nervous whenever TS starts talking about surprises.

Although I do wonder what it might be this time

Surprise, he has control over the Warpath Furnace

I'm going to just put it out there that my EC have zero interest in butts, chaos or otherwise.
They're much more interested in making sure things are correct.

Cripplingly OCD and mentally ill perfectionists. Sex is too imprecise.

That said, if we take captives and they call us savages, you reap what you sow.

A surprise doesn't always mean a good thing for everyone. And it's still not 100% fair to have a running plot arc and characters effectively killed off for the sake of something that we don't even know about, or likely will any time soon. Is it really that important to be 27 years? I'm asking because I have no idea if it is.

Again, if you trust the people here, you could post it in spoiler tags for those whom it affects to explain why it needs to be exactly 27 years. Because that seems like a pretty random number to be totally honest.

If this affected me, I'd be pretty peeved if I couldn't use my old guys and no-one could explain it decently for me. (However, I'll be using a new faction, maybe pulling something else in later. Maybe.)

I was going to have several people leave my crew at the end of CoF 1, for various plot reasons, and come back in CoF 2 midway to assist. Cue drinks, stories and balloons.

So now I either rewrite the entire settlement ending I had for the first crusade (because we were told it was five years - why do you think I was specifically asking to begin with?), or I don't bring the RT back.

Hear me out as to why:
Say Ed goes through this 27 year warp travel in 18 months or five years. Because warp.
Congrats Ed, your ex crew and anyone you didn't take with you, are now seventy.

It doesn't matter to the crusade because I wasn't a fighting force anyway. But the Histans are. So are Bob's force.

Ita gone from 5 years it seems to 27 so reasons may be needed.
Out youngest cof1 charecter would be 27....

All agreed. For the sake of the human characters (a la Histans, Scions, Faustians, Rogue Traders), it would be fair if AT LEAST their players knew why they might need to change their plot.

To be honest I don't really want a "why", I want the time back I spent writing my ending/intro. I rather thought specifically asking was enough.

If every human participant is going to have to use "warp travel changes time lolol" or expensive drugs as an excuse to take part, it's doable but it's stretching credibility well beyond most things we've dealt with.

If everyone else has to work around Sheppard's baby wanting to take part, here's a wild idea: Put the kid through the warp? That affects one person rather than all the forces Smudge listed.

Shepards baby was a at most maybe a month old when my Templers put after the batlle vs hive mind.

Master of Plots is plotting now.

27 years is indeed a bit much, even for non-(regular) human armies it wouldn't be very credible to have their characters from the previous Crusade all alive and well in this one. I mean, even Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines suffer from attrition, there's practically no way they wouldn't at least lose a couple of dudes along the way.

And then I'm not even talking about human elements within the warbands/Chapters themselves...

Alright. CSFA members, I'm going to post a few ground rules for our combined base. Failure to abide by these rules will result in a chainaxe to the face. Or maybe I'll just give you to BC's guys to torture. They can get inventive.

1. No fighting between Marines. If you want your cultist mooks to go fight the cultist mooks of someone else, that's one thing because it's hilarious. Marine on Marine fighting just leaves too many stains on the carpeting.

2. The CFSA is not responsible for injuries or death that result from walking around in BC or 2BJ1's section of the base. Nor are we responsible for being kidnapped by the Remnants. You take your life in your hands when you do this.

3. Necrons are not allowed in the base. I don't care if Kharne has Necrons fight alongside his guys, just don't have them wandering around our base. It irritates the EC and RC.

4. More rules to be determined arbitrarily by me as time goes on.

I have it sorted out, Ezra. Master of Plots is at work.

Very well, I shall leave the Master to his craft then

Does 'surprise backstabbing' count as fighting?

Also, the idea of a cultist fighting pit amuses me.

Yes Ezra, backstabbing counts as fighting. And the cuttist fighting pit was intended to amuse
