Warhammer: Morrslieb Ascendant [High Casual and Mature]

Hail and well met,

If you know anything about my RPing history on this site, then you well know what to expect from this RP; that being gritty sell-sword adventuring in the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. In a similar vein to "Let Loose the Dogs of War!" and Treasure Hunt by CelticSoldier, as well as games such as Warhammer: Dark Omen and its sequel Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, we shall once more be delving into the world of mercenary work within the WHFB spectrum.

In this incarnation I have decided to go with an already established company of my own devising - The Guild of Esteemed Sellswords - much the The Grudgebringers of Morgan Bernhardt and those members of Glen Cook's Black Company, I am looking for pre-defined roles (a medic, a cook, a hardened veteran and so on) to constitute the core and iron backbone of the Guild.

You may then be wondering where the Hell does Morrslieb come into this then? Well, it is no obscure knowledge that the 'demon moon' is a sign of bad omens, daemonic interventions and all manner of mishaps and disasters in the Warhammer world - the fact it is ascending is probably bad enough. There are other things beside, but I'd not want to spoil potential plot lines in the interest thread.

I'm looking for writers of a good standard, as well as folks who are able to think for themselves when I'm not about (including just how far you can go without dismantling the entire RP in my abscence!), people who can post at least once a week/round or possibly twice.

Most WHFB races (of a lawful/neutral alignment) are allowed - no Beastmen, Skaven, sentient zombies or generally anything that would be knifed as soon as they entered a civilised settlement. In fact, as far as possible, I'd rather keep it to Men, Dwarfs and Elves, that going from the most common to the least common. Where such men (or women) may be from is up to the player.

So, all I can say now is thank you for reading all of that (assuming you did read it all) and, should you be interested, then pop a post up with interest, any questions you might have, and any potential character concepts you see yourself indulging in.

Hi I would be interested in this. I do not usually do group rps but I'm willing to give this a shot.

[POOHEAD189]

If I got time, then definitely.

[Andreyich]

Runesmith or the Ironbreaker from that other RP good? Or a Kislevite Ice Witch?

[ClocktowerEchos]

I'm tentatively interested and thinking about an Imperial Gunnery School dropout with remarkably good aim. Would him some how being able to find a jezzail be too much? Should I just stick to him having a modified musket of some kind?

Also, should note I will be on vacation next week so yeah.

[Andreyich]

@ClocktowerEchosI'm not GM but I don't think finding it would be the trouble, rather finding the warpstone to shoot it, and assuming you succeed at this then to succeed at not growing another face on your butt from exposure to it. You could just be a normie and have a Hochland Long Rifle or some shit.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@AndreyichI was hoping that some how I could just forgo the warp-crack and use normal powder and shot with the jezzail if its possible. I would go for a Hochland but I know from lore that those things are supposed to be a bit rare and I highly doubt that they'd willingly give on to a dropout.

[Jb]

If I got time, then definitely.

@POOHEAD189

Noice.

Runesmith or the Ironbreaker from that other RP good? Or a Kislevite Ice Witch?

@Andreyich

I'd prefer the Ironbreaker (of the Dwarfs), but an Ice Witch is just as good - although I'll be keeping an especially close watch on any and all magic users.

@ClocktowerEchos No Jezzail (which are generally two-Skaven weapons anyway, as well as the warping warp stone), a Hochland Long Rifle would be alright, but I fail to see what a sniper adds to the group other than the obvious. They could be in charge of the Guild's 'black powder company', I suppose...but yea, that's my say on it.

[GingerBaron]

I like the idea, maybe a dwarven blacksmith or tinkerer sounds fun

[Jb]

@GingerBaron In Warhammer it's "Dwarfish", 'Dwarves' are Tolkien's linguistics. Also, I'd need to get a sample of writing off you first - I'm not massively elitist or anything, but I do require a decent grasp of spelling and grammar. As for the idea, that's reasonably sound.

@mifune Fair one and thank you, I'm honoured.

[mifune]

@Jbcool did you get my pm?

[Drunken Conquistador]

I'm interested in the concept. Probably gonna play as a Tilean sellsword, or a Kislevite rider.

[Andreyich]

Nobody wants a Runesmith in their RP, why? ;_;

But of those options we'll see who the others make. If there's both a Dwarf and a Kislevite I'll think something else up.

[Ollumhammersong]

I may or may not join this as a pistolier

[GingerBaron]

@Andreyich You said about the dwarf first, be my guest I wish not to tread on toes

@Jbcool Ok thank you for the info and differences, with the writing perfectly understandable seeing as Im a noob.
You want me to sling you a PM with it?

[Andreyich]

@GingerBaron
oh no you go with you m8. I'll make my character according to how unique (aka a special snowflake) I can be one everyone else has made their's.

[Jb]

@Drunken Conquistador Both sound good, and nice username btw.

@Andreyich Be a Runesmith if you like, as for being a special snowflake - yeah, perhaps think differently from that.

@Ollumhammersong Fair enough, pistols be cool, yo.

@GingerBaron Yes please, a PM would be grand.

[Andreyich]

Just had an amazing idea; could I be an engineer with a Gyrocopter/Bomber? I don't think it would be too much what with wizards and such potentially being around but if I'm declined then so be it.

[Ollumhammersong]

It's safe to say that if JB didn't let Clock have a Jezzail rifle he wont let someone have a gyrocopter.

[Jb]

@Andreyich@Ollumhammersong Well, he is a Dwarf and a gyro is Dwarf tech, and therein lies the difference. However I'm going to say no, at present, as we really just need boots on the ground at this point. Could make him an engineer by all means though, as we will/do need one of them.
