The Trail of Dust WH40K Black Crusade

Just in case it becomes necessary for some reason I am going to roll up a GMPC. He is kind of there is the event that way he can give A direction. There is no such thing as a right direction in my campaign since it is open world but you never know when someone popping up can be helpful.

Adeptus Mechanicus.

The Trail of Dust WH40K Black Crusade

We are not in the Screaming Vortex but my own homebrew area.

Geminus Sector, the region is known as "The Trail of Dust."

It seems a lot of people forgot their base human starting abilities.

You get the following for being human.

Starting Skills: Common Lore (Any Two), Linguistics, (Low Gothic), Trade (Any One)
Starting Trait: The Quick and The Dead

THE QUICK AND THE DEAD
To survive in the Vortex, particularly as a human, one
must be quick, both in wits and action. Sometimes fast
refl exes can compensate for ceramite armour. All Heretics
with this Trait add a +2 bonus to Initiative Rolls.

So then it seems Rainah, Muse, and Crayt seem to have finished their sheets.

Zed and Zran have yet to post sheets but Zed is near completion as far as I know.

Imagination and Poly are just finishing spending exp.

I think the IC will be up tomorrow.

I am probably not so subtly looking for other Chaos Followers by this point. <.<

That would be a good starting point for the RP I think for you.

Zed and his crew are kind of very wanted and would be heading down from the upper levels I imagine maybe looking for some help from other Chaos worshippers.

You are coming up from the underhive looking for chaos worshippers to help you with your little issue.

Crayt is one of the most wanted people on the planet and would likely be heading down as well.

Muse can probably tell why you will all meet together thanks to one of her rolls.

Edit: Muse rolled burning body as a chaos gift. Reading it this is one of the silliest ones given that permanent fire all over you would mean that life would become near impossible and you could not do things like sleep in a bed because you would burn it. Therefore for burning body I homerule it can be turned off at will but takes a WP test to turn on.

Also, I realised I was reading from the wrong table, so my reason for being unaligned is... pointless. So, with Tzeentch we go!

oh... oh my.

edit: I will take this moment to inform everyone that you cannot share knowledge until you meet someone though if you are starting out as a group naturally all knowledge can be shared, for example Muse and Poly are part of Zed's crew and so all 3 can share info freely.

I am going to apologize for these periodic mistakes of mine as GM. These books are not overly user friendly in their setup, (a complaint I am not alone in I find thanks to the internet), and while I have done Dark Heresy before and a little Rogue Trader so there are plenty of familiar things the details are what I am missing occasionally.

I have now looked over the sheets and placed the sheets in a Dramatis Personae in the first post. I do not believe I saw any issues.

Now then, I noticed something odd when looking at imagination's and Crayt's sheets. Both psykers though Crayt chose the one from the Tome of Fate and was noticeably more powerful in what seemed like every way. This was odd to me, until on page 26 I found a warning that I had previously missed as it had been at the start of a fluff area. The advanced class from the tomes are equivalent to those in the core book with 4600 exp.

I am not going to make people change classes since those from the Tomes are indeed quite cool. So I will allow them though people who take core book classes will get an extra 4600 exp to utilize as well as 12 infamy and 20 corruption as well.

So if you take a core class, you get the following total additions:
5600 exp, 12 infamy, 20 corruption.
Advanced class:
1000 exp, 3 infamy, 5 corruption.

You then add any corruption or infamy from your archetype.
