Scourge of the Machine God | A 40k APOCALYPSE Roleplay | High-Casual

"I have fought as a God fights.

I am Imperius Dictatio.

Kneel before me and beg for your lives!"Ervin Hekate


Hello, one and all! This is an interest check for a 40k RP I did on another site a few years ago(So I've already figured out how this would work) and wanted to see if anyone wanted to join in. I've been on a big 40k Nerd recently... Now, this is going to be a APOCALYPSE style RP. Meaning that I'm not sure if we are going Super Heavy tanks or are we going with Titans. I will leave that to a Vote with the people who are interested in it. The year is 998.M41 if it makes a difference to you. 

If I still have your attention, let me explain to you how the Super Heavy Tank RP and the Titan RP will work in terms of play and story.





"IT IS THE BEEEEEIIIINBLAAAAADE!"Apollo Diomedes


These are SUPER HEAVY TANKS and will be part of SUPER BIG BATTLES. It will only consist of only Tanks from the Imperial Faction(Humans). We will be apart of the same Astra Militarum Regiment and will be fighting a Enemy(or maybe multiple) Faction. The First Arc will be defending a City in a 'Civilized World'. This world will be very similar to the 1960's era of our World. You will have to kill the bad guys, talk to the local officials, save the world, and look like a badass while doing it. This journey will not be as simple as 'get in a kill all the things'. It will involve decisions that may or may not align with your Moral compass in order to accomplish the mission. Will you be a wise and generous Commander or be a stern brutal Sword only matched by the Emperor's Angels? Oh, yeah I almost forgot! There may or may not be Space Marines that came to the Planet as well. Maybe one with a Land Raider or a Legendary Fellblade or Astraeus?




"When the Titan walks, only the dead have no fear."J'blann Threekiller, Tiger Lizards (12th/23rd Davin Regiment)


For the Titans, we will have a small Maniple from the same Collegia Titanica Order. The first Arc will involve the ending of a recent Campaign and the mission considered complete on a Hive-World. Your Legion has suffered great losses and only another Maniple has survived with yours greatly weakened. This could be due to the increasingly high number of new Princeps that recently were assigned to these God Machines. While the Titans are ready to leave the Planet, something really bad goes down and are now trapped Planetside. This will be sort of a Survival RP. It will involve more combat then the previous RP, but you will also have to interact with places that are War-torn from the battle of before. Make deals with others that don't really have your ideals in mind. Some of inhabitants might worship you and your God Machines. While others might want to take them for their use or possibly salvage them for much needed parts. How will you establish contact with your Order? How will you get back home? Will you help the people while there or just use them to escape this near Dead world? You as a Titan Princeps will have to decide!

BONUS OPTION!!
We can switch these roles to being Chaos! Instead of defending, we will be attacking a Planet with either Super Heavy Tanks or Titans. This gives a lot more freedom in how you build your Titans or Tanks, but will make it more combat oriented. There will definitely still be a story with decisions, but not as much as the other two options. Trickery, Betrayal, and general Assholery will be included.



GM(s) word is that of the God Emperor.
No being Rude, Mean, or an Ass to others. Respect each other. This will result in an Warning and if this continues, complete removal to the RP.
Fade to Black if you wanna do something not appropriate for the General Audience. This generally means sexual not gore. There will be a lot of gore.
No GOD MODDING
Post on a regular to keep this story going. To me this is a minimum once a week. No excuses. If you have Real life or troubles, PM me. We'll work it out. As long as I'm around you should be too!
This is a High-Casual RP. Proper Grammar, at least 3 full Paragraphs a post, make sure it makes sense to the story, yada yada. Most of you know the deal. Listen I mess up like anyone else, especially 8000 chars later...
If interacting with others and you're going to have a full blown conversation. Please make it a big collab post rather than 8 posts each just saying two sentences worth of dialogue and not moving along the story. Now if I say we are just relaxing and chilling out, go for it.
Standard Guild Rules apply for anything else I didn't cover.
Basic Warhammer 40k knowledge or willing to get lost in it's Wiki page.
I'm huge on the 40k Lore and read too many Novels to openly admit, but there is a lot of Propaganda in them that contradict each other. I will try my best not to break too much lore, but sometimes I might. So, please work with me you diehard 40k nerds.
Oh, and have fun! That's kinda part of all this.


You might want to wait until the player base decides on which RP they want before making the sheet. This is probably not the Full CS for the RP, but this should give you an Idea and cover the big things.

If you're late to the party I recommend you look at your fellow players list to see if their lacking something (Crowd control, Anti-vehicle/Infantry/Super Heavy) before making your Char sheet. I'm all about freedom, but your comp may make some encounters more of a challenge(Which is not always a bad thing). You should definitely not copy paste this info. Make the Character sheet pretty for my eyes to show me you're serious. It doesn't need to look like a piece or art, but please put some effort. 

Heavy Super Tank CS

-Image(Written, picture, or Both)

If you want a Space Marine Tank, contact me through PM. There will be noticeable differences in the CS and you must have a Higher Knowledge about the 40k universe. I only want max two of these (First Come first serve)and they will be stuck in the same imaginary Chapter we will create.

-Weapons, Belongings, and Equipment(Appropriate Weapons for a Princep. It isn't much)
-Crew (You can give a few names and personality or all of them or none of them. It's your Princeps's story, not theirs. Depending on your titan you will have your Commander Princep and 3 Moderati for a Warhound, 5 for a Reaver, and 12 For a Warlord.)

Titan:

-Type(Warhound, Reaver, or Warlord. Remember bigger doesn't mean better.)
-Weapons(Look at the Wiki for which weapons to equip them. No Warp or Vortex Missiles.)
-Extra(History of the titan, Special Markings, A different form of it?)


Now I will be GMing these wars/battle/outcomes. You CAN die in this Rp, it can be your commander killed or your Vehicle being damaged beyond repair. Possibly both. All I can say to avoid this is: Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. With how you react I will roll dice, this will determine if shots hit, how much you get damaged, etc. Although common sense and good decision making will trump the Dice at anytime. Everyone will have a job, whether you do it or not is up to you! No one will be sitting in the dust. I will make sure every move you make takes some kind of effect on the battlefield! Movement is all you, but making attacks or actions will be written as an attempt. 

Good Example: "My titan quickly moves around the back of the Phantom. Aiming at it's rear to unleash a volley of Holy Bolt fire. Hoping to blow out it's right leg. With the massive weight of the Eldar Construct standing on only one leg, hopefully the Abomination would crumble under it's weight."

Bad Example: "My titan quickly moves around the back of the Phantom. Aiming at it's rear to unleash a volley of Holy Bolt fire. The barrage hits directly on target and the right leg buckles under the Eldar Titan's massive weight. Crashing the Xeno Structure into the ground in a brilliant explosion."

Something special that you should know. When moving and shooting with a Tank, you will have a disadvantage on your Side sponson weapons accuracy if they are fired. Another thing is if you constantly fire your weapons, you may overheat them. Which can cause some issues. So while you may have 11 barrels of Hell, if you use all 11 all of them too often they will melt as if in Hell. When in a Titan you will not suffer a penalty to your arm mounted weapons when moving. Overheating is a bigger issue and rougher terrain will effect you greater than a Tank. Which might cause to aiming penalties. You could even possibly trip!


I'm looking for a Co-GM!. PM me if your interested. Any questions that arise I will answer them as fast as I can. This is just an interest check. I didn't wanna spoil or even create anything too much ahead of time if I have no one to play it! On voting, just put which RP you would like to see. I'm looking for Five players for just me. If I get more I will need a Co-GM 100%. I'll be constantly editing this post and will inform everyone if anything big is added or removed.
