Mazer Rackham Posted October 7 Author Share Posted October 7 IC Thread is greenlit for introductory posts if you have them. No rush, as this is a soft start. Just want to bang the drum again to remind everyone to get a Character post in the Data thread. Why is this important? It gives other Players a fixed point of reference for details about appearance, markings, gear, armour etc without having to trail through 45 posts looking for a mention of eye-colour. It helps me the same way, but more importantly, it helps our readers to keep track of the Players' origins and Character arc (if there is one). With the IC 'open', all Characters are now considered locked in for play. Fair warning: Requisition will remain open until 17 October 2025.

Lysimachus Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Post added. If any of the other infantrymen approaching from the same direction want to meet up/do any interaction, let me know?

If you want to Requisition 2 x Storm Bolters and just bullet-hose, I'll let you, because ammo doesn't grow on trees and you'll soon realise it was 'Just As Planned' when you're lugging around two glorified hot-pocket toasters and no-one has any pop-tarts. This gratuity does not count towards your XP for Rank Increase purposes (For non-assaulters it would cost min 1,500xp). Thank you for OHBD. And I guess I am goign to retract my previous offer to make my spare Req avilable to anybody who needs it and use 10 of the remaing 12 for the Power Lance so as to be more of a melee front line for the team. Mazer, from a narative point is it ok if I pick up the Power Lance in my intro post (from a fallen White Scar along the way) as that to mee would make more sense than the Inqistion happenign to have a WS style power lance on hand.

Makes perfect sense to me. Good thinking. Same goes for anyone else who selected Chapter specific gear. It would be far more likely you're bringing it with you, than picking it up - 'oh look, a very specific Chapter relic that just happens to be lying around...'

Necronaut Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 @Mazer Rackham whenever any of us gets within viewing distance of the ERV, what does it look like, or rather what is providing the beacon signal? Are there any permanent structures? Should we expect a rhino APC with a striped merchant's canopy and desk set up out of the rear hatch? "STEP RIGHT UP, STEP RIGHT UP!

I've got posts pending with other Players who will go into it in more detail, but these Players are busy. Once the game opens formally, I will begin official play with the reveal of the ERV. As a teaser, there is a Rhino. Ice Cream is 20 Req a scoop.

Necronaut Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Okay thanks, I wasn't sure if I should slip in another post, but I figured I had left Hierax in a reasonably good/open-ended spot to allow you/us/anyone do whatever with it.

Machine God Posted Monday at 05:50 AM Share Posted Monday at 05:50 AM (edited) I believe so, or a lesser route (A Road) running parallel to the 25.

A very, very parallel road is fine - just in case I didn't lay it on thick enough for folks, at this stage in the game, the MSR is the only road into Acheron, and it's a deathtrap. Just being near it is asking for trouble.
