Dark Heresy

[Littha]

Anyone interested in playing (OR GMing) Dark Heresy?

I know its in poor taste to go around asking for people to run games for you but I have been reading the Ravenor Omnibus and have a real itch to play it myself (I have an interesting concept for a techpriest) and if we got a couple of players willing to rotate GMing (or one person willing to do it all) it could be a lot of fun for a play by post.

The big bonus is that there are a decent number of pre-written modules so GMing isn't all that hard.

Anyway, thoughts?

I WANT TO PLAY!

I have all of the books at my disposal, however I don't feel comfortable running the system.

[LordBlades]

I'd also want to play  Have the books, but never played it, so I don't feel quite able to GM sadly.

Posting interest as a player. However, 40k isn't my strong side GM'ing, so I would not really opt for that.

[Harnel]

I'd be willing to get in on this.

But I'm no good as a GM for 40k. I just really wanna play a Hive Mutant

I would play.. I also know that two of the players in my pbp group are 40k freaks. Il link them here, both of them are 40k GM's so maybe I can convince one to get a game going. idk

Heh, dna would be referring to myself and my friend. Yes I'm a huge fan of 40k, currently running a DH game and a Deathwatch game IRL. I could run a Dark Heresy game I suppose. If anyone knows of a good online character generator like mythweaver that supports 40k character building that would be awesome, it's easy to post basic stats on the forums.

So yah, if anyone knows a website that does that stuff let me know, I've never GM'd on this site before but I'm sure dna could give me the ins-and-outs of it.

[Littha]

http://www.malleus.dk/Ordo/NpcGenerator/Default.aspx has a good character generator, you need to register otherwise it times out constantly though.
You also need to set your character sheets to public to share them and then need to find them in the archive to get a working link.

[Calchexxis]

Thanks, that site was very helpful

[dna1]

lol calchexxis I gave you that site at zanes once, thats where I make all my characters on.


anyways ya we should totally get a 40k game going on here 

theres like 6 of us interested here, plus one more il invite.. we could get a game started. but who will we find to DM, im not experienced enough to for 40k yet... plus since im already doing a 3.5 pbp game i dont really wanna take on another one 

[Calchexxis]

Lol, is that the site you gave me? Oops, I probably forgot to write it down.

Anyways I can GM the game, though you'll have to tell if you want to do a Dark Heresy game or a Rogue Trader game, up to you guys, just not Deathwatch. I'm not experienced enough in that to feel comfy DMing it online yet.

[dna1]

im up for either a dark heresy or rogue trader game. i would rather play rogue trader..... but wouldnt mind a dark heresy game because of the character creator   

we should make a poll?
Also who all is officially wanting in on this game? I know me and calchexxis, who else?

[Nanshork]

I'm officially interested, just be aware that I've never played before so I won't really know what I'm doing for a bit.

[konner09]

I'm up for some Dark Heresy

[Littha]

obviously me...

dna1 made this to choose Rogue Trader or Dark Heresy, vote here, also I'm only taking a maximum of 5 players so if there is more than five I'll have to cut down to a the limit.

People who are in for sure

Littha -> she made the post asking about it so it would be rather rude not to include her.
dna1 -> he created the choice posting and is a friend irl.
einherjar -> also a friend irl who asked me DM this if possible.

So there are effectively two spots remaining, basically I was thinking first come first serve unless I have good reason to do otherwise.
