I'll wait with Niernen's intro until after the baddies are dealt with.

Quick everyone, PM Mahz with your wishlist for Guild updates and new features. The more the better. In fact, send him a PM about it every day. Make that every hour. Chop chop!

To all the homies in Florida -- stay safe out there. Now is not the time to wrangle an alligator and surf it down the flooded streets. I know, it's hard to resist the urge.

Hank, I'm gonna have to back out of this one, RL happened this weekend and I don't have a whole lotta time. Sorry, dude.
Shame, I was looking forward to having you. Come back whenever you're ready -- I won't be closing sign ups on this one.
Wasn't going to ask, but good to know. I think the Arbites come into contact with Chaos cults often enough that most of the player characters (save the rookies) will be at least somewhat familiar with its existence.
@Dannyrulx So I'm assuming he became an Arbites Chastener, was recruited by an Inquisitor for their retinue, worked with them a decade or two and then returned to Aphrodus Primaris after being dismissed? That's viable.
So what's up with drop bears, eh?
I dunno, why the hell do you need a .75 calibre rocket-propelled grenade launcher that explodes within the target for law enforcement? Seriously, the imperium runs off of ridiculously over-the-top weaponry and equipment. I'll make some edits.
While that is true, at some point these things just become impractical. That's why I created the Armoury list and the well-defined list of available roles, both Arbitration and Specialization, and the kind of gear they use. This RP is a little less free-form and a little more (just a tad) like the Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader roleplaying games. I don't bother with stat points or long lists of traits or complex dice rolls but I do aim to streamline the character creation process a bit and set a few hard limits here and there.
It seems I was right to do so, since it seems people can and will come up with (admittedly creative, but) inappropriate gear choices for the kind of setting I'm envisioning. I don't blame you, mind. It's only natural.
EDIT: Glad you've grasped the concept now. Looking forward to your character sheet.
My own sheet should be coming along shortly. Ahem. Let me clarify. Her specialist equipment is a rocket launcher. Her backpack is modified to safely hold the ammunition. Her primary weapon is the shotgun and her secondary is an autopistol. Is this all clear, or have I misunderstood the specialist gear?
Evidently you have. The Specialist roles are firmly defined in the list of available roles and none of them use a rocket launcher in their line of work. The Chastener does not use it as a tool of torture, I should think, and I doubt the Verispex Adept has any use for it during a crime scene investigation, etc etc. Specialist gear is not a catch-all term that refers to anything not covered by the primary, secondary or tertiary equipment lists, it is the gear necessary for the Specialist roles to carry out their duties. The little blurbs of information next to each Specialist role outline what kind of gear that can be.
And seriously, what does a law enforcement officer need a rocket launcher for? This is a Hive World, not a warzone.
...
I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to a wall. The Armoury I have provided does not list a rocket launcher of any kind. Please read the entire post again, thoroughly, and pick your gear from there. Please don't make me repeat myself again.

Nah, I just think it would be an interesting addition. It doesn't really make sense for my character to have it though. She's a specialist with a bizarre rocket-launcher type thing (carried by a servo skull, because the ammo is heavy enough,) so that's enough I reckon.
Do you mean a grenade launcher? Those aren't available to Specialists. Once again, I point you towards the Armoury list in this thread's first post.
Yes, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have come to see what was going on in Spam these days.
Looks like I showed up in time for the oldfag reunion party though, so that's nice.
So how's Iwaku treating you?
