 For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. Yet in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battle fleets cross the Daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the shining psychic manifestation of the Emperor’s will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bioengineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard, the ever-vigilant Inquisition, and the Tech-Priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name but a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants—and worse. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of the thirsting gods. Prepare to enter the nightmare world of DARK HERESY I'm planning on using roll20 as our online table environment and skype for communication, the game will be ran on Saturday evenings from 19:00 UTC onwards and ending when we Europeans have to go to bed and Americans have to eat their dinner. Hoping to start next week. Looking for 4 to 6 players. Character generation as per rulebook, standard values for everything, use w/e to roll, link the results here. Blank char sheet, feel free to copy and use: code:Asehujiko fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Starting with 3 players is not a problem, could always introduce more players as the adventure goes along so I'll leave recruitment open.

That's ok, Elukka also doesn't have one yet and I can see a few "skill 1 or skill 2" lines in Megazver's, we can finish up character creation tonight. Can you all add me on skype(same name as the forums), I'll give you the roll20 link through there.

Al right, everybody who logged into roll20 and made a character has access to an editable sheet there, which can be found in the journal tab in the menu bar in the upper right of the screen. Add me on skype if you haven't yet, same name as here on the forums.

Back from bit of a break, next session will be 19:00 UTC, 29 November. Experience totals are now up to 3000 xp and as a result of the Inquisitor allocating more resources to the hunt for Oringurchakor, everybody's Influence has been increased to 3 points above it's base level. These bonuses apply to new players joining in as the Inquisition is now assigning more senior Acolytes to you.

Al right, I think we have enough players for tomorrow then, next session at 14 February, 19:00 UTC. I think one more player is doable but that'll be the last one, 6 is about the maximum for which the game is designed before the party's skill coverage becomes so wide that it turns in Oceans's 11 and combat rounds start taking too long.

Looking at 28 February, 19:00 UTC for next session, xp is up to 5750 now. Because the party is currently captured by secessionist forces, I'll assume inquisitorial acolytes have some kind of secret handshake that they can use to recognize friendlies in a POW camp if Randarkman still wants to make a character.

And he rolled a 1 on a charm test for it. Then the party entered a shack with no electricity and the party spent 5 minutes real time trying to work out how to obtain a light source before they realized Daren was a pyromancer who could manifest fire at will, then rejected that plan in favour of 5 more minutes of brainstorming before settling on fighting an active murder servitor for it's power source. Between that and beating up the aforementioned murder servitors the AdMech left behind as area denial, the party did find evidence of an Admech bigwig being the heretek responsible for tricking the space marines into fielding a necron mind control artifact and is now at 6000 total xp. Next session is planned for the 28 March, 19:00 UTC, this is the last week of DST nonsense, after that the world should be on the same schedule everywhere again.

The party successfully made it out of secessionist territory and back to imperial lines, increasing their Influence by 2, now up to +12 from their starting value. The Inquisition's work is never done however and the hereteks responsible for the awakening of the Necron tomb still need to be apprehended. Next session is planned tomorrow, 4 April, 19:00 UTC.

For tomorrow's session (11 April, 19:00 UTC), the party will continue chasing the rogue Fabricator. Depending on how fast we move, this is probably the last or the second last session of the current arc/mission.

The next session will most likely have the big showdown with the Fabricator so I would like everybody to be present. To that end, can everybody post in which of the coming few weeks they are available at the regular times(saturdays 19:00 UTC)

The heretek Grauxis has been vanquished! Thanks to this feat, the party has acquired another 1000xp and their influence has risen by 3, bringing the totals for those values up to 7000(1000 from chargen and 6000 from gameplay) and +15(on top of what would normally come out of chargen). For new players wanting to join in, additional acolytes assigned to the cell will be similarly experienced. Likewise, they'll be better equipped than green recruits and get two extra starting acquisitions. The next session is planned for saturday 25 April, 19:00 UTC.

Last week's session didn't happen because of scheduling conflicts which is why we're moving onto this saturday, 2 May, 19:00 UTC. Since no play happened, xp is still at 1000(chargen)+6000(gameplay) and influence at +15(gameplay) on top of whatever comes out of the chargen rolls. New players also get two extra starting acquisitions to match the party's shopping during the adventure.
