Yes, My Dark Heresy campaing, Dark Heresy Redux, is looking for a possible new player to join into the fray. one player dropped along the way, another can no longer show up at gametime for a while. I can't really run it with 2 players so I am looking for a 3rd one to get in.

We got an assassin, tech-priest, psyker (being GMPC for now) and a sister of battle in another town recuperating form almost being assasinated in broad daylight by bowmen. They players are on a Feudal world (gunpowder level) but there is a number of off-worlders as well present one can pick.

Here's the wiki http://dark-heresy.wikispaces.com/Dark-Heresy+Redux if you got further quesiton go ahead in here or reach me via PM or e-mail.

Tell me more about the off worlders and other potential PC choices. I might be interested. Is Lynata still playing? I miss playing with her.

Lynata was playing the sister who got almost killed by the bowmen.

as for out worlders, you would be on the world of Sisk; on the periphery, so near the Halo Stars, the many out worlders there are mostly mercenaries, being hired for a pretty penny by the many nobles and merchants, either for genuine protection, or simply to flash (as out worlders guards are the flavour of the moment there), so you can go either guardsman or scum that way.

There is also growing concern about the rising Ork raids and attacks, so an Arbitrator could have been sent to further investigate this and the inaction of the local ruling Lord.

Thats pretty good, so a Guardsman or Scum from basically anywhere outside the current planet, or a Feudal Worlder, or an Arbitrator?

I could work with that.

Yeah; scum or Guard, you can be hired 'off the streets' by the cell, Arbitrator will have both investigation connect along the way for sure. As for a Local, well, a guide is always a good thing,

I'll try throwing something together once I get home, and see how it looks.

Starting at rank 1?

For start yes; but I'll surely give you XP so you will be at least a rank lower or even equal to the others (they are about about 8K XP each) all.

I also accept most 40k RPG books, just pass the changed by me for approval, and look up the house rules on the wiki as well.

I checked them out earlier. I also used to play in the original Dark Heresy Shadowrun game, as Halo Valorska, so you might remember those good times =P

Oh yeah, DPK I remember you. Yeah that's a totally different game, no relation with the one you did, if only a single mission (they already completed)

What are the creation rules? How are stats decided, etc? Rolling or Point-Buy? Divination is a roll, I am guessing?

Roll 10 times 2d10, drop lowest, place'em wherever you like, the rest is randomly rolled. You can pick how your char looks like as well, just roll fate, divination, wounds and age.

After playing around with some concepts, I'd perfectly happy to bring Halo back, too, even if its a totally different game. She was fun.

Almost? Hey, if that's about the burned Fate Point, I thought we agreed on taking that back - a bunch of arrows to the head sounds fairly fatal, and I didn't really plan on ever playing her again.
Not in this Cell, anyways. Should it work out again some day with my job shift, I'd rather discuss Dasha's recruitment - she should fit in much better, both concerning the power gap as well as with having a Psyker around.

It's you! Hah, didn't think to see another familiar "face" here.
Oh the memories...

Hehe, it isn't often I get to have fun like that.

Ok well, why is Halo gone form Gunmetal City to Sisk halfway across the sector?

I can think of a few reasons, infiltration, as in, sent to investigate the goings on, or, her former cell fell apart and she took up work as a merc/stubjack, or, if we're alternate reality-ing, she was never in the =][= yet, and her gang was offered $$$ to flash for someone. Halo hated Gunmetal City, and would have taken just about any option to leave, a bunch of money being the best possible option =)

I'm open to other possibilities, also, or if you don't think she'd work, as I don't know the group dynamics, I did throw together an Arbiter that seems ok.

Hmm...3rd solution sounds the best...never in the =I=, but go t there because some noble wanted to have something to flash, and nothing say flash like people form Scintilla, a 'modern' world before being killed/deal falling down/end of contract/whatever happens and now you're down to hanging at bar hoping for a way out or another job to pay for the (highly priced) ammunition you need...

Haha, yeah! Pricy ammo, and soon she'll want a sassy bolt pistol, if she doesnt already have one...maybe even an inferno pistol one day!

Heh...well the cell's way of getting gear is not really 'buy it or don't have it' deal...they are able to borrow equipment from the =I=, and apart form not returning it or damaging/destroying it, they will not cost a penny to use; just DO bring them back after the mission...

Of course if you got the cash, nothing is stopping you from actually buying a weapon or piece of gear and taking it out every other mission, but there is the quartermaster that is also present, in case you would like a bolt pistol and have the proper access to the gear.

Is there anything you'd want me to change on her, by the way? And if I wanted to add a background to her, like, say, Kasballica Noble, would that work?

Where is that from again?

Also, you do not have 2 time +5 to add to your sheet, so you might have to recheck your stats, or re-roll them if you'd like..oh yeah- with a 23 in perception I would recommend a re-roll, might loose to high umber,s but it's a trade-in.

Yeah I'll just re-roll em. Its from Book of Judgement (Kasballica Noble is)

Kasballica noble is ok, but there's the one background package per character going, so it's that or Gunmetal.

Since they are dealing with xeno-sympathizers and close to the Expanse, it might be good.

oh, I thought Gunmetal was an Alt rank, not a background. Its fine then =)

the Gunmetal origin is a background, the Metalican gunslinger is an alternate rank

Actually, The Gunmetal City Origin replaces the Hive world homeworld, so you could take the Kasballica 'Noble' background package as well

Awesome! Kasballica Noble looks like fun. =)

How many xp did you want me to redo her with?

Also, did you want to be present for the stat rerolls? Or honor system?

Depends when you can: I'll be free Tuesday, since I got face-to-face RPG tongiht.

I can be on on Tuesday.

time?

I'm off work and home by 5:30 pm est, pretty much any time after that?
