Note to self, assassinate Lilianna Sheppard in first Crusade, throw wrench in stuff.

Did I hear Meta-gaming

Mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyybe

But why can't she be the one affected by the warp and be 27 years older. That way she can age and stuff, but only 1 player has to use that excuse.

Because I am not the one writing the fluff for her am I? The New Crusade has to be 27 years after this one.

Because of one character?

Unless there's some clarification on this I'm calling BS.
Hamstringing anyone with a returning force so we can have a single grown up kiddy taking part is inconsiderate at best and selfish at worst.

Its not about the kid, but who the kid is with and who the person is with in turn and why they are on the planet. If I drop anything more, it would give away a lot of the story.

Edit: I should also point out that if you want your characters from the current crusade to show up, I have devised a plan that fits with the story and the 27 year time difference.

So everyone returning has to be plot-deviced into the crusade? This is my point.

I'm not the only one bringing people back, and "there's plot" is terribly justification for screwing them all.

Not to mention I wrote the end of Trisburg to fit in with the information you already gave.

Its five years into the future then.

I very much doubt unless that character is the second coming of the fething emperor, that it couldn't have just been handled using warp travel or plot devices.

The rest of us have to justify around this, rather than chazz changing one character?

I have a plot device to get your current unaged character there.

What about anyone else?

Also: Tell me how that affects anyone who doesn't travel with them on the day?

Scratch what I said.

The New Crusade is Five years into the future. This will not change

And now I feel a heel. Sorry for busting your balls, TS.
Sincerely.

It was a slippery slope, Buttery... But I guess everything is a slippery slope when you're Buttery. pun pun pun pun

I'm going to have to murder you for that pun TS

This is getting back to whether butter is a food or hobby budget item for me.

Ok, if we will settle on five years, then you can still use Falkon, WK. Now TS, you want us to PM you where we want to start on Second Sun, but you also are setting certain restrictions on this. Do you still want a PM for starting locations?

I'll be honest, I come in, see who's yelling at Kharne that day and post something about butts

Oh how the tides have turned. Now it is I who comes in, see who's yelling at TS and post something about Democratic Nercrons

Democratic Necrons can't melt steel beams.

Yes, but these locations are off limits:
Crayon (Its getting named that):
Tarragon
Jagnar Coast
North Vow
South Vow
West Hotch
Tuk
Avarqwell
Grim

Also, do note that Moon #2 is claimed by Chaos.

They can if they have flamethrowers of FREEDOM

Well, my Kroot can get along with almost any faction, if they realize the need and use of kroot mercenaries. Yes, I'm well aware that has limits, and several Imperial factions would rather shoot them that talk to them. Anyway, I'll shoot you a PM of where I want my factions to start.

Democratic Nerons killed Kennedy? What?

I feel a bit sorry for Chazz, but I hope he can work around the five-year gap. As others have said there's always warp travel shenanigans.

Istvaan V was an inside job.

Lol,

in the grim darkness of the far future there is only conspiracies

Blame the Alpha legion.

Lol, that's probably true

While we still can ask questions:

Smudge asked earlier if Second Sun's story you're writing is an intro for us. Is this the case? I don't think a crusade where there is already a set plot would work, because rolls can change how the plot would go, and if we have a set story, then we hardly have the freedom go attack and do as we please with out forces, which is kinda the point of this crusade anyhow.

I assume it's just an intro. I don't think they would attempt to do that.

Do you guys think it would make sense for Knights to fight alongside the Space Wolves because the Space Wolves called in an honor debt? Me and Jhe are working on our intros. So far the idea is that Logan Grimnar saved some Knights from my house a few decades ago, and my Knights swore an honor debt to the Space Wolves chapter, and now it's beinga called in.

*eyes the explosion of posts since this morning*

*sips coffee, walks back out*

Why is that bird drinking coffee? And why is it wearing a hat?

It's an Imperial-sanctioned death budgie, here to monitor for heresy.

Not prevent it, just to provide us some feedback on how well we do.

*kicks some suspicious items out of sight*
Nothing to see here. Move along. No heresy here!

That's an excellent idea

That's how I do it, I like to add my 2 dollars though

Better start working on a intro. Any idea when the current crusade ends and the new one begins ?

Current Crusade is wrapping up most likely sometime in the next few days, maybe a week at most? We're just waiting for Smudge to finish up the writing for the final dust up.

I assume some people will want to expand on what happened from their PoV as well. I will probably do something for my Histans. Especially some parting words with people like Julius and the RT's.

I'm definitely writing one for my Necrons
