Yeah, refugees sounds good.

So, should we start a IC and basically... take on the roles of about 3 organisations each? Each one has; one good, one bad and one in the middle. Then we can feel free to collaborate and even oppose eachother just generally to sharpen our writing skills?

When we write the planet we can take control of different districts and cities.

I wouldn't say that it was a hasbeen world. Instead, id say it should be fairly wealthy, which only raises the stakes. So that everyone's trying to get to it... which breeds paranoia.

Due to the local area being destabilized with the death of Cadia, our planet has been sent a few regiments of foreign imperial guard. The locals dont like these foreign intruders, but the Planetary Governors propaganda says they are there for security. They are infact there as a staging area for a counter-attack on the forces flooding out of the eye of terror, meanwhile the indomitus crusades is no where to be seen... this is worrying because everyone is wondering where they are...

One such regiment is the 50th Havelock Brutalists.

Their special issue gear is urban chemilioline great coats with sewn in flak armour. They also get close support by sentinel powerlifters per squad armed with the power lifter of course but also an underslung chainsword. The best way to describe how they employ these is brutality. They use the power lifters for counter charges and on any of the imperiums more melee oriented enemies. They are grenadiers and have just been relocated after a victorious battle fighting Orks. This Regiment is known for taking battle trophies from their foes, such as horns and fangs. Infact the squad leader is usually selected based on how many fangs they have collected. They are selected from the planets warrior caste.

Where u go? -.-

I notice you selected horror as a category. This is indeed the right way to play 40k.

Id be happy to co-gm w/ you :)

Lets take a planet, and make it a complete backwater so theres room to play around with the imperial status quo. However we want it to be big so perhaps it used to be much more impressive... i like hives so maybe its one of those? Like, hells kitchen in new york, times a thousand and stood upright!
I like your idea that gelt is in the cadian system. This would be even more fun if its just after cadia fell so everyones paranoid that they might be the next meat on the barbeque!! And thus there is stuff like a military curfew and blitz spirit.

@akula2ssn

Right now my ideas center around the cold trade and basically making an army for them.

I'll also make a small imperial guard regiment if i need to... maybe from a planet near Gelt? Just to use as a back drop.

@akula2ssn

Yeah, weirdly its almost like they copied my idea, because my one predated the kt one by about 7 years.

@akula2ssn
It sure is! Infact the more obscure the lore from 40k the more i like it!

For example, in one game i made an entire tribe of imperial navy soldiers... i dont think ill do this, this time. But thats the sort of thing i go for.

Grim Dark Future.

Cool.

Im always up for a little 40k ;)

However i mostly like it from the point of view of making cool characters and even cooler organizations for those characters to be part of... i also enjoy level design.

Im sorta interested. I do love 40krp sandbox.

But are you saying that you want a co-gm or an actual gm 1-on-1?

In any event i would find it interesting to play a character thats part of the cold-trade. Dealing in xenos tech from the tau and elsewhere while evading the authorities however deep down in their heart of hearts they actually believe in the emperor!!

Im a little bust with RL right now but this is on my list of things to do!

My post is probably going to have a reference to the Queen's passing.
