Current Dont lie about your qualifications, question why it takes a university degree to get a job as a barista. But only once youve completed an assessment... then they help you to get a degree once manager.

Im making my character sheet using the old one as a template.

My character is an Assault Class with a few leadership talents. His role is to provide squad support more than be a standalone warrior. His ability is to enhance others abilities.
@FourtyTwo
It sounds like you're a man with a plan so im not going to bait it too hard.

But do you mean anarchy as anarchism or more generally chaos? The distinction is important.
Im certainly watching this.

Not sure of what i should play...

What about a beastmaster? And by that i mean a person that trains a pack of ferocious beasts to do battle and is also quite handy with a crossbow? Its an underused meme...
@Dragonfly 9 Maybe a werewolf?
@VeyrinDay
While i totally agree with your argument defending escapism.

If you read the older incarnation of this rp, you'll find that what we're fighting is a faceless organization that manipulates other countries, and because we're super smart boys/girls we are nearly always fighting the guys doing it, rather than the countries themselves. Basically, like fighting Hydra.

@Foster
Wow, that's a lot of loyalty...

@FourtyTwo
Im getting ready to light this candle, so whenever you want boss.


This is a rough-and-ready interest check for a game set in the WH40k universe.

This RP will take as its source material; the current state of WH40k table top wargame, aswell as drawing hefty inspiration from WH40k RPGs such as Death Watch.

Players will take important roles of office in a single chapter of loyalist space marines. Taking on roles such as Chief Apothecary, Chapter Master, First Captain, LT, Chapter Champion, Master of the Forge, Master of Sanctity, Chief Librarian, Chapter Ancient, Scout Company Leader and any additional roles we devise during the course of the game (i.e. iron fathers, sanguinary priests and the like.)

The Chapter Identity; such as chapter tactics, doctrines, level of codex adherents, geneseed mutations, will be negotiated by the players based on rule of cool in the OOC. I am not looking for a completely finished chapter sheet by just one guy. I want the group to not only debate, but to actively guide the chapters identity as individuals (e.g. if most people vote for a melee based chapter but one player wants to be a ranged chapter, they are quite free to spread their vile influence! This goes double for warp-corruption!!)

I, as GM will provide the chapter with an assault course of, political, tactical and moral dilemmas. To simplify things the chapter master will be elected by the players before turn 1, and elections will be held thereafter at appropriate times. Players will be free to express their creative writing abilities as they fight their way through the galaxy, however, this game will also focus on intense interior party politics.

So if this sounds interesting to you feel free to post your interest here. This is a casual-style game that will not punish people for being newbs or having different ideas about how things should be done. In fact it is intended to celebrate this! I welcome fresh faces and old veterans alike.

A little about the GM: I have played 40kRPGs such as Death Watch, Rogue Trader for a little over 7 years. I had one game which lasted 2 years and another which lasted 1 year. I have also GM'd Only War twice, the duration of which was about 6 months. Now im trying my hand at a play by post system, which should allow maximised creativity for my players in something which is intended to be sandbox style, but restrained by democracy due to the party being made up of diverse peoples. I expect 4-8 players in total.
I might have to redesign my civ (City of Lancet) a bit because i wasnt expecting a dieselpunk setting. But when i do they'll probably resemble valkyria chronicles a bit... if i have time...
Im interested

Its only a matter of if i have the time.

I'll dust off one of my old characters, an old grey werewolf named Hubert Whitaker who owns a company that acts as a shell company for the werewolves activities in preserving nature and being eco-warriors (i like this idea more than simply being a menace to society).



The working name for the company is Sirius Corp. sirius being the "Dog Star". The company itself was set up in the 1960s and bought a decent-sized lake high up in the mountains. A pumping station building was built to allow water to be pumped up to be stored in the lake to be used as a giant capacitor for the energy grid. During the night while the energy consumption is low the grid pumps water uphill to the reservoir then when energy consumption is high the water is allowed to flow back down hill through a turbine and generates electricity. The beauty of this is that whenever it rains the pumping station gets free energy.
I imagine the pumping station as being a bit like inside a dam with a turbine hall. Lots of grease and chains hanging from the gantries. The real purpose of course, of Sirius Corp is to act as a protector for the werewolves activities and to encourage the humans to invest in renewables and the environment. We could make it that the werewolves get magical energy from extremely pure and ancient water in the lake or possibly the deer herds that come to drink the water.

With reguards to hiearchy, Hubert will basically act as advisor to the Alpha without actually threatening his rule because hes too old. He is a hereditary werewolf and fought in WW2 as part of the classified "Dog Soldiers" group part of the US Rangers. He knows a thousand different scents of enemies, allies and prey and can often tell if one of his fellow werewolves is in the area and in trouble simply by scent alone. He also enjoys simply hunting in the forest in wolf form and does this as often as he can afford to, often going out in boar hunting clothing but transforming into a wolf as soon as hes alone. Leaving his gear by his campsite. He even may take the group on a hunting trip. He also makes a good boar sausage when at home. His wife Norma is actually an ordinary human and knows he is a lycanthrope.

What do you think Penny?
Im also watching this.
Ive started working on the Household Guard of my Knight.

The post isnt complete but i can drop a hint:

Theyre basically Felinid Imperial Guard that were saved from destruction by being incorporated into the Freeblade house. They have naturally good night vision and are battle-hardened but few in number. They are basically tankers who use Sentinel walkers which due to not being under the scrutiny of the Admech have been heavily customized and individualistic to the driver. The average Sentinel is equipped with a grav-chute, multi-melta and power blade for melee attacks.
