I'm sure we can make it six minutes if you pretend to be dead?

 

 

Whoa, holy  dude, chill.

 

Fine, I'll kill you all after FOUR minutes, jeez... 

 

In other news, it's D-Day Minus 8. If you haven't already, make sure your Bad Guys are ready to Die folks.

 

EDIT: I need a volunteer to roll a D10

The Blessed Number of our dark patron, and we are starting on 8/8. Very auspicious indeed. Let the blood flow like a river!

It is not wise to draw attention of the deities without good reason.

 

Also random d10 roll as requested, if you trust my dice.

d10: 8

Excellent...I think we must keep using these dice...

I'm pretty sure my guy's patron isn't Khorne...all that blood and violence is rather gauche, you know.

@Mazer Rackham and others.

 

Mechanicus Implants. In the book for Heretek it says that you have Mechanicus Implants and then in the description blurb it shows a Load of Implants. Do we get them all?

 

I'm just trying to work out something for my IC posting.

 

 

 

 

 

[Lord_Ikka]

All of them- the Trait gives you the Electro-graft, Electoo Inductors, Respirator Unit, Cyber-Mantle, Potentia Coil, and Cranial Circuitry. Most of them don't do a whole lot without getting further Talents, like Electoos being able to shoot electricity via Luminen Shock. All you really get to start off with is the +20 to resist airborne toxins with the Respirator and the ability to access dataports/cogitators with the Electro-graff. Its with the upgrades that they really do some cool stuff.

All of the core ones that Lord Ikka listed, but only one choice from the following : Luminen Capacitors, Maglev Coils, or Ferric Lure Implants (though a heretek character could use their starting freebies to take all three instead of cybernetic limbs, etc).

[Mazer Rackham]

I'm still getting to grips with the ruleset and the interactions, so I'll defer to our Cool Dudes In The Know^TM with my thanks.

 

I'm sure I can fill in the gaps as we wander through it. I know there's a lot of differences in the Skill and Talents, so I'll make sure to peruse before asking for a test.

 

Just on that subject, my intention is to run as much of this with narrative as I can, but if you get into scraps, we'll be into hard crunch. On maps and charts, expect few and infrequent depending on situation. I don't have the time to invest in a complete companion's guide. Attacking an outpost will need a tactical approach, a trawl through a sewer does not.

Do I have your 'friend's' True Name, yet Ikka? It has suddenly become...important.

Knew I forgot something. Gimme a couple of minutes.

[Lord_Ikka]

Public name- Cor'gail the Wildweaver, Daemon Prince of the Wander-Toil. Private name- [REDACTED]

[Necronaut]

For those interested, this is the IRL inspiration for Ukalegon who keeps me company and focused at work. At gunpoint. The purity seal was a gift from a fellow tech-adept a few cubicles over, and a fellow closet 40K fanatic. We try to have fun.

 

 

Edit: I just realized I have a preponderance of red desk candy.

Sorry everyone, I’m not going to make it 

I managed the sheet but I been clogging through writing anything and I think my cloud drive crashed during my frantic attempt to make the deadline 

[Mazer Rackham]

Dust off the pen and paper then, son...

We believe in you, you can do it.

 

A casualty before the first dice roll is a bad omen.

Well, technically I’ll have the sheet finished on time …  we’re supposed to get the  sheets finished by the 8th, no? 
So, that still counts? Isn’t that how this Faustian thing works?

Technically, not giving anything away, that might/might not have already happened.

 

Forget rolling that D10, do you?

Its' been a long day, brain go Zzzz...

 

 

Also, since a dice has been rolled we are safe from this bad Omen regardless of how Xin fairs (still a believer Xin ,don’t give up). 

[Mazer Rackham]

The game will open (officially) at some point today (we're midnight is in UK).

 

As long as we have a complete sheet and a skeleton profile with names etc in the Character/Data thread that's fine.

[Xin Ceithan]

Sheet should be up… character bio overview is up …

 

Edit: and a brief description

…also replaced the initial placeholder 

[Mazer Rackham]

@Trokair could you roll a D100, followed by a D5 at your earliest convenience, sir?

 

Just drop the rolls in here, ta.
