I have been craving a simulator type RP based on Warhammer 40K, where you create your own Chapter of the Emperor's finest, and then use dice mechanics to decide what happens during their lifespan. You start off with however much resources, then you allocate them to your guys, then, random events will happen to you. You may start a feud with a local band of Orcs, you may have some Chaos Corruption within your midst, you could come under inspection from the Inquisition, your founding legion might declaire a crusade against the Necrons, and ask you to dedicate some forces to the cause... You may even be asked to attack another players chapter...

This is only a rough idea at the moment, but i'd love to discuss it and see where it goes. At the moment, for ease of usage, i'm currently only having it open to Space Marines, but if I can find a good way to balance stuff, then I might open it up to other forces (Such as Astra Militarum, Sisters of Battle, Adeptus Mechanicus, etc.) Anyone that joins, we're gonna need to discuss how we are going to make this work.



This is only in the planning stages, thus far, and things are going to be added, constantly. But I do hope to hear input on it.

This sounds interesting but I think maybe a game where we could be part of a chapter each of us are a person in it.

So you mean, each person gets their own department in the chapter and their decisions effect the chapter as a whole? Alright, I can see that working... I'll wait for a few more peoples input before changing the whole system of the RP.

Sounds like a worthy idea, I'd try it but it would be nice if we could make a Guardsmen regime I already have one for this sort of occasion actually, but I understand since this is a "Experimental" idea you want to keep it basic.

Matt I was thinking we'd be more of a squad of space marines each with our own skills.

No offense, but if I wanted to play that, I'd just get a copy of Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader. I wanted something with a bit more size and scale. I'm not saying that that wouldn't work as an RP... But it's just that, what I was going for was a little different.

So, does anyone have any idea's on how the mechanics of the game should work?

I'm thinking, at the moment, of dropping the individual army building system, primarily, because it seems a little over complicated, and instead just have Battlegroups and, instead of saying what squads go in them, you upgrade them with specialities, Sort of like Star Wars: Battlefront 2. You buy a faceless battlegroup which becomes whatever it needs to be for the scenario. And then you pay to upgrade the battlegroups with different specialities E.G. you make a Battlegroup, then later, you can give it a "Improved Bikes" upgrade, which helps during fast attack based and general battle missions.

thoughts on this?

Well, it's still in the planning phases. I was hoping for people to help me design it, but thus far, nobody seems to be willing to give feedback...

I am very interested, your second idea seems a bit more manegable but there is a grand scale and accomplishment when creating an army.

Well, i'm not sure. Currently, I'm still making the mechanics of the game, so i'm not yet sure if the end result will be compatible with the other Imperium Factions.
