The Campaign


Skuberrima, a fallen pirate colony, sat amidst the howling insanity of the Screaming Vortex. Home to warring bands of hungry corsairs, and bloodthirsty raiders, Skuberrima is a world of battle and carnage, held in the dark clutches of the ruinous powers.

To most, Skuberrima is just another damned world, amidst a sea of corruption, but the devious merchant Euromulus Krynne knows of the dark and terrible secrets which lurk beneath the planet’s surface.

Krynne came to Skuberrima in search of the Gauntlet of Myreena, the once pirate queen. During its prime, the planet was at the heart of a cataclysmic feud between Myreena, and the pirate king, Eliphayne.

This battle of egos reduced Skuberrima to a charred husk of its former glory, as the planet drowned beneath an ocean of fire and blood. The gauntlet was thought lost, but Krynne believes he knows how to retrieve it.

However, the wily merchant cannot do so alone…


OOC


Storms and Shadows is a Role Play adventure, heavily inspired by the 40k tabletop RPG Black Crusade. It will follow a band of up-and-coming heretics, devoted to the various dark gods, on their quest for power and glory.

I am looking to run this game with a small group of dedicated players, to have some crazy chaos fun, and get up to all sorts of depraved shenanigans, in this awesome setting.

If you fancy taking part, then please let your interest be known, and I will crack on with setting up and OOC, and smashing out some character sheet templates, so that we can get underway!

And here I was just sitting here listening to the Lords of Silence trying to decide in my next army to paint. I'm interested.

Nice to have your interest, folks! I'll get a CS template up, then crack on with the OOC.

Here is the template, folks, for those of you who want to crack on and submit a character. Feel free to do some fancy formating and what not with it, if you so wish, just so long as the important stuff stays the same.

@Bloodrose What limits are we going for? Could I be an Astartes, for example?

Not saying I will, just asking.

I'd place more scrutiny on an Astartes application, seeing as the PCs are meant to start as a ragtag band of up-and-comers, but I'm not against one member playing a chaos space marine.

I definitely wouldn't want us to have lots of Astartes characters, though.

So important question for my idea: will this take place before or after the lore of 8th edition?

Might be worth talking about what we are kicking around while @Bloodrose works on stuff since in my experience "black crusade" table tops tend to run into a lack of cohesion in character concepts. It would be good to have an idea what everyone else is thinking while working on a CS so I'm not doing something wildly different

Since we're gonna try and limit the amount of astartes, I'm putting my idea for a thousand son sorcerer on the backburner unless people want me to bring it in. Instead I'm gonna bring in an up and coming Pirate Prince of Slaanesh

@levinfist This is set before all of the Gathering Storm stuff. Also, as an aside "pirate prince" is probably a bit more established than what we'll be aiming for here, as our heretics will start as having some infamy, but not to the extent that they would be considered quite that powerful.

Think less pirate prince, and more pirate captain.

That can all change throughout the course of the game, though!

Fair. And I think up and coming isn't the right phrase. "Self styled" seems like it fits better.

I'm just going to be honest, the concepts I was working with were either a Renegade Astartes or a member of the Dark Mechanicus. I have the knowledge and writing capability to do the heavy lifting on an astartes sheet BUT. If we have a cohesive group concept I'm more inclined to write something that fits and will have meaningful connections. Which could still be astartes, but I'm hoping we can coordinate ideas.

Edit: Good to know Cadia Stands currently.

Hmm, interdasting. What restrictions do we have to make a char? Does up an coming heretics mean solely just bog standard men? Or could we be some sort of psyker, heretical Astartes or even just a mercenary going as far as a hired Ork? apologies, I am blind. I'm willing to work a bit harder to make an Iron Warrior or an Occam-style Alpha Legionnaire

I'm open to the possibility of one chaos space marine in the group. Two would be pushing it, but I won't allow three.

Either everyone can decide who wants to apply to be Astartes between them, or it can just be a case of best app wins, if a bunch of chaos space marines get submitted.

In the spirit of sharing and coordinating, putting this very WIP CS up for folks to see the kind of char I have in mind. Will be updating- and happy to coordinate with anyone on backstory. I wrote this rly fast just to give a sense of what I'm thinking.
