[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[A.T.]

Perhaps if we tag our posts <Blackthorn> or <Swordhand> in some way for clarity?

Oooh, I like this idea.

[Commissar Molotov]

Thanks all for your efforts.

 

I am working on an update which will likely go up on Sunday (but may go up on Saturday, circumstances permitting.)

 

Blackthorn will be thrown almost immediately into a fight - which will serve as a tutorial, much like the original work on the Voice of Thunder for my OG Veterans. The Kill-Team will be on a couple of different maps to break up the squad a little (and so I don't have to cycle through 11 Astartes each round.)

 

Swordhand, having made their decisions on the approach, will have a slightly more narrative update.

 

If you can post before the weekend, feel free to please do so.

 

Hope you're all well,

 

Mol

Hey Mol,

 

Am I able to make a  Common Lore: Imperial Navy test to gain more information on the wrecked ships?

[Commissar Molotov]

I don't think you need to roll - having the skill means that you are familiar with Imperial Navy vessels. (The caveat is that these vessels, whilst Imperial, are not Naval - they belonged to a Rogue Trader House, which means there will be divergences.) - What are you looking for? The more specific you are, the more I can provide you with.

[Jeremy.Phillips]

Anything interesting about the wreckage really. Class of ships, weaponry used, anything out of the ordinary. I don't think Argus would be looking for anything specific.

[Lysimachus]

Just checking re that last post, I'm assuming that Grist gave us all the info he had about the Sunder fleet before we left? If we don't have any background info, I'll edit to suggest finding the largest (and therefore hopefully more important) vessel.

 

Edit: Sorry, just realised I didn't cut and paste Chaka's final comment properly and that he directed that to Kol specifically. I'll cut Titus' suggestion out if you want, Komrk?

[Commissar Molotov]

Unless players specifically specify that they are talking on a private vox-channel, I think it's fair to assume it's open. Plus some of you may have helms on or off.

 

For ease of the game it's best to open it up to everyone, I think.

 

Jeremy - The next time I update I'll include a bit of Argus's observations.

[Petragor]

Chaka has his helm off, if you need to know. He’s talking to the whole squad, just thought Vorkys might know what to do.

I updated my placeholder for before the Blackthorn team left on mission, hope its ok....a little dark and mysterious

Blackthornn - how are the rest of the team in the Storm Raven approaching our drop?

I think there's just a slight disconnect between what you as players know and what your characters would know.  There's a certain amount of rail-roading just to get you all where I need. 

 

My plan is to divide all eleven of you into a couple of different combat "zones" so that you can have a go at combat and I can give you some challenges. 

 

I'm just in the planning phase (and I have to create and upload the combat maps) but I will update you! 

[Brother Argent]

Well I just actually posted my first up to date post in, well, I think the whole thing.  I still need to fill placeholders but I think I will focus on the now and back fill as I get time.  But even so, WOOO!!!! Go me!  

[Commissar Molotov]

Mojake: I've just been reading up around everything and p.99 of the Core Rulebook seems to specify that Invocation only adds +1 to a Fettered test, mentioning that it's to do with limiting the exposure of the psychic user. Has something counteracted this?

[Mojake]

You're right, should be PR8, I still pass provided I've done it correctly

[Mojake]

I've changed my post to reflect not using Invocation. I'm pretty sure that whatever happens I've passed with a 12, however please can somebody check I've done it correctly who's familiar with the rules.

 

I wasn't sure if it was just a Challenging test at (+0) or if there was more to it.

[Commissar Molotov]

Just one quick note - I had a look at signature wargear and requisition, and can't see where Achillion has picked up his Psychic Hood. It's not standard equipment for a Librarian. Have I missed something?

[Mojake]

I just included it back when I posted on the recruitment thread and it's been there since, I thought all Librarians would have one

[Necronaut]

Only the epistolaries, unfortunately.

[Commissar Molotov]

Yeah, it's an odd one. I discussed it with Noctus previously. The Psychic Hood has a renown requirement of "Distinguished" so it is off-limits. I suppose it's not out of bounds that Achillion has a hood built into his armour, though, even if it currently doesn't provide him with any benefits.

 

Starting to write up Achillion's psychic communion now - as you might imagine it's a tricky one!

Oof, missed out on req'ing one too

Completely missed that it wasn't a given for librarians!

 

And yeah I'm halfway through a draft for the post. Will have it up after work.
