@Skwint

There are some recommendations made inntue rulebook for each class. They actually aren't bad.

Taking fellowship increases for example, always a good idea for the sergeant. It will help you buy other fellowship related abilities down the road.

And depending if you plan to play your guy as more shooty or stabby, take weapon or ballistic skill increases. These are good places to start.

Or buy a comrade advance. Sergeants have some good ones to pick from.

@Skwint

If your questions are more in the Vien of 'how do do xp purchases work in the first place.' you can pm me or someone with your character sheet and we can walk you through it.

Just a heads up, my home internet is down for the next week, so my ability to respond to messages and post is pretty limited. I'll try to figure something out, but I may be unavailable for the a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Well that gives me plenty of time for my cs. :P

Debating trading out Language (Techna-Lingua) for Trade (Armorer) for background reasons, but it seems wrong to me to have a Tech-Priest who doesn't know binary.

Also for background reasons, how old was the 103rd as a regiment? Just founded, few years, couple decades, older?

I was going off the idea that the 103rd was relatively new, probably either just founded or a few years old. For one, 103rd is quite far from 37th, and Drop Troop regiments are supposed to be rare in the Imperial Guard. Secondly, Elysians have to serve a tour of duty in the PDF first before joining the IG (which are also volunteer only regiments), and then they have to be rated an expert marksman before actually being thrown into combat. It seems a lot more complex than giving a lasgun to a tithed conscript with basic training and then sending them to go die for the Emperor, so I imagine there would be not that many Elysian regiments out there.

Those are just my two cents, however. It'd be best to ask @AdvancedJ3lly for his opinion over this.

EDIT: Supposedly there are at least 352 Elysian regiments out there according to Gathering Storm: Fracture of Biel-Tan, which is a supplement to the war game version of 40K. However, I'm not sure if the GM wants to use information from it.

The idea is that the 103rd isn't a new regiment, but they are significantly less combat experienced than the 37th troopers, who are fresh out of heavy fighting with servants of the Ruinous Powers and have lost a good deal of their comrades. The 103rd troopers don't fit in, many of which are replacements and troops with little experience themselves (despite the relatively lengthy existence of their regiment), and while there are veterans among the 103rd, they have spent the last few months in transport ships and at munitorum staging areas while the surviving 37th were pulled straight off of the battlefield and have had little time to lick their wounds.

Edit: I have internet again. Just waiting on Skwint's character and Jayne Marigold's backstory.

@Nohbdy Never put his CS in the CS tab either.

I'm still trying to work out my Appearance, but there's only so much you can do with a Tech-Priest.

Also procrastinating w/ Destiny 2.

Shut up.

Regardless, the only tweak from the sheet posted on page 2 is swapping Techna-Lingua for Armorer, as wrong as that feels. First 100 xp will probably be spent on Binary anyway.

@Skwint Any updates on the character sheet?

@Ollumhammersong Hows that background coming?

@Nohbdy How's it going on your end?

Don't feel like I'm rushing you, just trying to get an idea of what we need to get done to start and if anyone needs assistance.

@AdvancedJ3lly Got a block on Tigerius's Appearance- "Insert generic tech-priest description here" is probably about as accurate/useful as anything more detailed. Aside from that, I'd be good to post.

I'm working on it. I'll be good to start whenever you want to go. Just having some trouble with a half decent background. its not absolutely necessary to start the game is it?

I've done a fair bit of reading through the rulebook and I think I might have something. I just need to find the time to get it all down.

Guys can we get the ball going here. this is taking forever

I've already said I am ready to go. I've been busy this last bit with life and haven't written up a backstory, so sue me. I didn't think it would be so critical to the start of the game.

@Ollumhammersong I'm not targeting you at all, I just feel like at this rate this RP will end up taking months of preparation and just a couple days of posting before it ends since we took so long.

I'm just waiting on everyone else.

I'll work on getting the first IC post up as soon as I can.
@Skwint We'll just have to add you into the game whenever you get your character sorted.

IC is up. Y'all are in a dropship and have a few minutes to make your peace with the Emperor or socialize before dropping into the hive.

Posted. Just some more backstory for Brigan.
