[OOC] Retaking the Front (40k Astra Militarum Roleplay, Currently Full)

[Ollumhammersong]

Its not like their mask has a gag on the inside or anything. Forcing itself into his mouth whenever he puts it on.

I'm sure he can speak through the mask. Or there could be a microphone on the inside of the mask

[Jb]

@Ollumhammersong I know, I was being sarcastic.

[Kipsateking]

Any bets on who's first to turn to chaos?

@Kipsateking The Ratling...never trust those sub-human thieves.

@POOHEAD189 the sheet looks ok. Speaking as a DM and a player I'm not thrilled about the idea of a character who is going to spend most of their effort trying to stay apart from the rest of the group.

Anti social characters tend to become a pain to constantly have to pull back to the group. I'm not saying he has to be a socialite, but its nice not to have to deal with a character always trying to do stay removed.

[POOHEAD189]

@Ollumhammersong I don't plan on him trying to stay away from the group. He'll just handle scouting stuff, and he'll be snarky rather than "let's all be friends" when fighting together. But as a DM myself, I would not do that to you.

[Ollumhammersong]

@POOHEAD189 I get that, Though I am warning you we are a battleline infantry regiment. And we are all part of the same platoon and part of squads, part of me effort to keep everyone together. Its going to have less commando moments and more all out assaults. Part of what I was going for is keeping everyone together despite the regimental differences in doctrine. He's probably not going to have a lot of opportunities to do scouting and typical catachan tactics.

He's a good character and I am accepting him as is. But I am warning you that I am taking efforts to limit keeping the characters apart, Or having everyone waiting around for one character to do something and return. Like scouting.

@Ollumhammersong

Understood, my friend

[Ollumhammersong]

@POOHEAD189 your good to post your sheet

[Enigmatik]

@Ollumhammersong

Are we going to be kicking off any time soon?

[Ollumhammersong]

Soon yes, I've got a lot of stuff happening this weekend. it's coming along

[Ollumhammersong]

Ok, its a little later than I wanted it to be. Let me know what you guys think.

You all have the chance for an establishing post for your characters before shit gets real. Some final monologues or thoughts or whatever the hell it is they try to do to pass the time and deal with the stress of a planetary assault.

@Ollumhammersong

Just so I'm clear on this - all our characters are part of the same platoon, under the Valhallans command, yes?

[Ollumhammersong]

Ya

[Ollumhammersong]

I should add that the sentinal and pilot are on a different lander. One with other armour assets to land alonside the infantry. So you will be seperated for now but in a couple posts we are going to be all together.

[Ollumhammersong]

So how is everyone?
