This is your story, you signed up for the imperial guard one day for whatever reason. Maybe you thought it would be an improvement? maybe family honor compelled you, or maybe you didn't have a choice in the matter at all. Point is, you were assigned to a slightly backwater agri-world to man the garrison there. Life is rather easygoing for the guard. There's the daily PE, the grind of waking up, listening to some superior bark orders at you all day, then going to bed. But no enemy of the imperium would strike at a world this deep in imperial territory, right?
Yeah, that's what your superiors thought too. The garrison has been neglected, men constantly get called away to do their duty as guardsmen on some faraway front, the PDF's worst worry is the occasional skirmish with the feral orks that infest the planet's sparse woodlands. Apparantly, other eyes saw this weakness too.
And so it came to be that no one thought ill of it when imperial navy patrols nearby reported signs of an enormous unidentified signature moving through the sector. No one, till perhaps the largest ork kroozer this quadrant had ever seen punched its way through the planet's orbital garrison. By the time your base was mobilized, orks were already raining from the sky in their crude landing craft. It appears the priests were right when they preached that complacancy breeds disaster.
So, that's the gist of the intro of this campaign. This play by post will be based off of the only war RPG by Fantasy Flight games.
If you don't have experience, that's alright, this'll be a learning experience for both of us. (I freely admit this is my first time GMing a warhammer RPG, though I do have experience GMing other tabletops and forum rps to varying degrees of succes.
If you do have experience, then you have my permission to preach rules to me that I misinterpreted, the end goal for everyone here is to have fun anyway. And correcting a GM on misinterpreted rules is part of the true tabletop experience.
The rules can be found here, there are adobe-reader editable character sheets to be found here
Good luck, have fun.
