[BC] A Vulgar Display of Power: OOC/Discussion Thread

[Xin Ceithan]

I totally agree on what you say about the medicae / apothecary themes ..

but in BC the Medicae skill and it‘s mastery are rules wise „aligned“ with Nurgle _ so you if you are advancing those you are ruleswise progressing along to being aligned with Nurgle unless you deliberately buy other things to counter that or pay through the nose for an unaligned or even opposed god aligned character ( a follower of Tzeentch aiming at buying the Masfer Chirugeon trait, e.g. ). 
It‘s one of the things I struggle with when trying to align some ideas with the rules as written at times.

So, wise and terrible GM … should I be going along this path of madness or would you prefer me to stick to more established archetypes for a starting character? :p

Wise? Not particularly. Terrible? Certainly.

 

Let's stick with the established archetypes to start off. If you have a more long-term goal to become a brain in a jar, then I won't stand in your way.

I HAVE AN 8-GAUGE SCALPEL.

 

I IS BRAIN SURGEON.

FYI to everyone: alignment will be more fast and loose than what is presented in the core book. What this means is merely spending XP is not what will drive your character's alignment. What the gods will be watching for are glorifying acts, sacrifices, rituals, desecration of the (un)holy sites of the Imperium and rival gods, and so on. I would like for this to be a more RP-driven affair. I'll be keeping the alignment discounts in place as-written, so develop your character wisely.

Sacrifice the Space Kittens of the Aeldari and Laugh at the Bunnies of Khorne, oh Great Cthulhu!

So in this scenario you will find it advantageous to stay unaligned until you have the baseline skills you want at the standard price before courting your preferred god (from a meta-gaming perspective). This is one of the short-comings of the BC RAW, so we'll attempt to follow the alignment through actions model, as opposed to alignment through XP spend. Additionally, if you're wanting to play a psyker who does healing, irrespective of your personal alignment, then I would recommend consulting the Biomancy powers in the Tome of Fate. They'll get you where you want to be. Edited April 10, 2022 by Necronaut

Nice to see the Battlesmith again. Will be rooting for the Skitarii turned Techmaster of Khorne.

Hey everyone. It’s been a bit since this chat was active, so I just felt like checking in. Everyone doing good?

[Machine God]

Necronaut and Trokair have the flu and a headache respectively

[Petragor]

Yikes, didn’t hear about that. I wish them the best

[Necronaut]

Hey Petragor, thanks for checking in. I'm doing a little better now thanks. It has been a rough past two weeks.

[Dosjetka]

Hey Petragor, thanks for checking in. I'm doing a little better now thanks. It has been a rough past two weeks.

I hope things continue improving: speedy recovery to both you and Trokair. :tu:

[Xin Ceithan]

Guess, it’s both good to hear from you while being sorry to hear that.

Hope you guys get well soon!

[Trokair]

The jackhammers have moved out, and I am numbered amongst the thinking once more.

 

Glad to hear Necro is also on the mend.

[Lord_Ikka]

Good to hear.

[TechCaptain]

Glad you two are feeling better.

[Necronaut]

Hi everyone, terribly sorry for the long period of radio silence in this thread, and with regards to this game. My summer, much like Armageddon's Season of Fire (doubly apropos considering south Texas is akin to the interior of an industrial autoclave/plasma-deposition furnace this time of year), has been hectic to say the least. I hope you have all been well (particularly those of you who aren't on here regularly and obsessively), and can forgive my leave of absence from this game. 

Things have quieted down a little at work, and while my free time isn't that much freer, I would like to try to get this game up and running, as a one-shot if nothing else (I would like to do more, but baby steps). I hope everyone is still interested -- please post in here if you would still like to dabble in ze Chaos. If I don't see you post in here, I will reach out via email or DM. I may just reach out by email regardless.

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Always down to play a cold, callous scout. 

[Lysimachus]

Still well up for it!

[Machine God]

Happy to hear news 

[Xin Ceithan]

Good to hear things things are looking up on your end 

I shall start a work out plan for my toes in preparation for some dipping into things man wasn’t meant to know then! 

[Trokair]

Sakal has been keeping his Plasma gun in working order. 

[Petragor]

I am not usually a frequent poster on B&C, but when I am it’s because there’s games like this to post about. If there’ll be a game, then I’m game.

I'm sooo busy, but I'm being threatened with a good time...

Ugh. Decisions.
