So this is now DW:Duo Play?

[Mazer Rackham]

Isn't Soairse looking for you, Farseer? 

 

Xin was kind enough to RP as an NPC, since he's not otherwise engaged in a game.

I had Xin sign a waiver, it's all legit.

Ah, right gotcha!

 

So it was signed in triplicate and placed in locked cabinet within a disused lavatory with a warning sign stating "Beware of the Leopard"

Map and adversaries are now up.

[Necronaut]

Sorry guys, I've been busier than a one-armed paper-hanger, and traveling besides. Will jump back into this soon, I promise!

[Mazer Rackham]

Dude, no worries.

 

This is a solo game, you pick it up as and when. 

 

Stay safe and don't explode.

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham I made a minor tweak to my actions in that most recent post, dropping the move action to instead launch some grenades. I am re-checking my maths to make sure I have all of the bonuses and penalties tallied up correctly.

No problem at all, crack on.

 

Good work on the calcs, you've been making both our jobs easier. Appreciated.

[Necronaut]

Okay I think we're ready to continue. Actions are locked in. Sorry for the last minute change in plans.

 

Edit: I just discovered that I was using Zvarog's BS instead of his higher WS score in his most recent melee rampage. Oops. Missed out on a couple of extra DoS there, but the outcome will remain the same.

That Zoanthrope took a good few hits on it's shield, with RoF being a good bitesize killer.

 

Still, PR 65, overload 01-05, can re-establish as Full Action, nothing to sneeze at.

 

First time I've fielded one, very interesting indeed.

attempting contact with other forces.

 

 

 

I really wanna join in!

I will admit that you unfortunately maybe gave me too much information about the kine shield with your minor note mentioning the power could overload. With that knowledge in hand, it really came down to a question of applying sufficient volume of fire (along with stun grenades) and either waiting for a failed field test or for the field to just overload.

Love you for it, but one crazy build at a time!

I get what you're saying, but that's not necessarily the case. I don't see any opportunity to metagame here, either accidentally or by design. You can slaughter a Zoanthrope with weight of fire (as the Emperor intended) but I can throw them at you in pods of 3 (in the business, we call this foreshadowing), so it's all gravy when you use your nouse.

 

You get a payoff, and I learn more about the Adversary.

 

The Zoanthrope profile is FFG's not mine, from Mark of The Xenos (MoTX), so the rules are about anyway, plus in game, when your character comes to himself, his DW training will give you the IC knowhow. I can see no good reason to hide it from you - your available MO would have dealt with the threat as designed.

 

It's the bigger stuff that'll make you pucker up, buttercup. We'll get to that, IDC (in due course).

- pulls open drawers with crazy character concepts -

 

Finally! A game concept and a timetable  I can fully get lost in 

 

And once you guys have run through all the crazy DW builds …

This! 

We can get to even crazier Stuff!

Like knights! 

(or at least Black Crusade!  )

Emperor on a jet-ski...

 

What have we created?

A dreadnought vs dreadnought knock-down, drag-out grudge match?? Zounds! I left my meltagun at home like a FEWL! Now I will never be able to defeat another metuhl box...

[Mazer Rackham]

*Makes notes*

[Mazer Rackham]

Further to @Necronaut's involvement in a Time of Reaving, just to note that this campaign will continue as planned (I've started, so I'll finish if possible), and won't be expanding to take on further players (maybe with the exception of @Xin Ceithan, who is without a game).

 

No, Xin, no Knights.

 

Or that. Yes, that. You were thinking it - no, nor that either, and certainly NOT...that.

 

The slaughter continues shortly.

[Lysimachus]

[Mazer Rackham]

*Gently pats shoulder.*

 

I know, buddy. I know. At least we'll always have Isstvan.

But naratively unrelated Solo Play games may yet come to past some time in the future, yes?

I know it is not the same, but you have about a day if you wanted to jump into the Eldar Game...  just throwing the option out there.
