[OOC] Warhammer Fantasy - Call of Chaos

[POOHEAD189]

The Dawi are still ready and waitin'

[BCTheEntity]

@Willy Vereb ...that doesn't necessarily preclude Rat Ogres in Radzmus' army, in fairness. It perhaps makes it more likely, even. But yes, I do like that idea RP-wise.

[GreivousKhan]

Hmm, interesting. Do we have a map and claims yet?

[ClocktowerEchos]

I thought about how to put this and I have some sour news which I must say is much to my shame.

The level of energy I had for this when I first made it is not nearly as strong as it is now and you may yell at me for as long and loud as you wish for it. I just thought it would be better for me to come out and say this instead of just cowering in the shadows and hoping for it to fade.

That said, I am not going to just leave and call it dead since some of you seem to be quite interested in this. As such, this NRP will still be open and I still will try to do some things with it although it would be best not to wait on me for the first IC post. I will still review NSs and stuff and I am looking for a co-GM. I am going to say it right now that if you want to become co-GM you should know that you will likely be the one pull the weight of the RP.

Sorry for my silence but yeah, that is the situation as of right now.

Also, as for the map, we'll be using the Warhammer Canon map but you aren't bound to the nations and their borders (you could be the Empire of Sigmar but be in Bretonnia's canon position for example), just don't put an Arabic themed nation in the middle of where Kislev would be and you'll be fine.

Damn shame I already have an RP I'm Gming else I'd be up to help out on this and even support it on my own of need be. That said, I'm open to helping out where needed, whether that be in plot-brainstorming or as one Co-Gm.

Would be nice for there to be a true Warhammer Fantasy RP for once.

@GreivousKhan

It's a bit closer to Warhammer inspired, as in the setting and its aesthetics are in use but people are free to make whatever with their nation. Even invent new races if it can fit.

Alright Lads, I don't know if I have the time to GM another RP but I aint giving up on this shit. Who is with me?

[Andreyich]

I am, I guess.

[BCTheEntity]

@POOHEAD189 I was tempted to ask you about GMing, but didn't want to push, obviously. But yes, I am still very interested.

[Willy Vereb]

I sure don't have time to be GM-ing but I sure would still participate in the game.

[BangoSkank]

I'm pretty much the same, time to RP not so much to co-GM

[Andronicus23]

If this does end up getting started, I'd be interested in joining. Maybe tentatively as a Chaos cultist faction if that's a possibility.

[POOHEAD189]

@Andreyich@BCTheEntity@BangoSkank@BCTheEntity@wxps350@Willy Vereb@Oak7ree@GreivousKhan
Alright, I'll be GM. On the condition that @ClocktowerEchos can accept character sheets and still help somewhat. I'll do the bulk of the RP. I doubt it would be taxing on me because it seems like it'll be up to the players with how things go, rather than doing a linear storyline.

I'm a huge Warhammer fan, I've played 1,500 hours of Total War games (as well as many other strategy games), and am a military/medieval historian to boot. So, while I heavily suggest players agree about wins/losses before a battle begins and ends, I'll narrate the end result if need be.

While numbers will play a part, this isn't a numbers game. It's how you use your troops, and what kind of troops, that will really set the difference in battles (as well as terrain). And I expect politics to be fairly common, domestic and foreign. Though granted, I do realize the main theme of Warhammer is how everyone is at war because racism lol.

[BangoSkank]

Glad this thing is still breathing.

Does anyone have a claim on Border Princes/Tilea?

I'm thinking of going with the idea suggested that Skaven are starting to come out of their tunnels. Thinking of doing something about the fall of either a good portion of The Border Princes (as independent small nations they rapidly fell to a vast feral Legion) or the Remas Republic of Tilea. Either way the area would basically be considered cursed now, like Mousillon is in standard canon, but with some extra Lovecrafty bits.

[BCTheEntity]

@POOHEAD189 Yey PH. You are the hero this forum needs, but not the one it deserves.

[GreivousKhan]

I always liked the idea the story served the outcome of a battle like it's done in the books.

"Elves are a dying race, there's as many as the story needs there to be".

But whatever works I guess.

[KremeSupreme]

Unfortunately, I will be unable to participate in this game. Sorry for any inconvenience. Good luck to you all!

[POOHEAD189]

@wxps350Unfortunate, but we understand. If you want back in at anytime, just say so.

@BangoSkankI do not believe anyone has taken a Tilea/Border Prince state yet, if you want it.

@GreivousKhan@Ezekiel@Willy Vereb@Madrigal@Andreyich How are y'alls sheets coming along?

[WendigoChan]

I was thinking of making a Chaos Lizardmen faction (very unlore friendly I know) just having a lot of trouble writing it due to lack of motivation and skill

[POOHEAD189]

@WendigoChanDoing a "Lizardman" faction would be a bit out of the lore so I am pretty against it. However, there is a Norscan-esque reptilian race called the Fimir. They're the size of trolls, with one eyes, turtle-like tough backs, and clubbed tails. They're one of the oldest followers of Chaos, and they're quite intelligent, though they usually just hide in bogs.
