[OOC] The Grim Crusade [Warhammer 30,000 RP]

[agentmanatee]

@BCTheEntity Good point, alright, I am now going to be adding a copious amount of special chaaracters to my sheet... I think @Savage how far down can the rabbit hole go?

[Savage]

Dude I'm already so far down the rabbit hole I think I passed the Wonderland exit wayyyyyyy back,

[Hank]

I'll add Assignment level to my sheet, as well as some significant NPCs of the Void Stalkers.

@Hank

*sigh* Well I'll now do the same, since I'm already adding more details describing the different Companies of the Legion and their names, as well as leaders. So that pretty much takes care of significant characters. Since there's freaking TEN!

[Lord Coake]

One thing I should note: In the original canon it's implied/semi-stated that all of the Primarchs had psychic potential to some degree, due to them being descended from the Emperor. Now, for most of them this equated to the low levels of positive psychic potential on the Assignment Scale.

@Lord Coake

They also had potential to be a perpetual, as batman Konrad got to learn

Kinda makes you wonder if unplugging the golden toilet is actually a good idea in the long run

The dudes got freaking lightning claws AND chainfists. Its like a double fisted punch of fuck you.

@Savage

Tyberios The Red Wake, much like the Wu Tang Clan, ain't nothin to fuck with. The Carcharodons are a pretty damn neat chapter

@Specter189

Aside from the galaxy-sized Warp rift the Emperor's death is theorised to produce due to his absurd power, it probably would be just great. Anyway, since people agree with both things, I'll add in the appropriate sections to the appropriate sheets. Hold on a moment, folks.

@BCTheEntity

*casual shrug* its also theorised that the throne is keeping him from regenerating. I blame Gee Dubs' s shitty fluff curation

[Barrett]

@Specter189
There was also a suggestion for a couple of editions that he's the only thing holding back a tide of daemons from overrunning Terra. So if he's unplugged, we can kiss goodbye to Mankind's ancestral home but perhaps get our saviour back.

[BCTheEntity]

@Roosan I read something about that being partially the Custodes' job. Anyway, I've added a request to list your Primarch's Assignment level into the Skills section of the Primarch's sheet, and I've actually added two things to the Legion sheet: the previously-mentioned Dramatis Personae, and a section noting the Legion's size, how many Astartes are actually present in its ranks. So, uh, if everybody could please modify their sheets accordingly, that'd be wonderful, thank you.

[Barrett]

@BCTheEntity
I will get to it, should be done by this time tomorrow.

@BCTheEntity

I think based on canon this was usually around 10,000 per Legion, with the Ultramarines being the exception. What kind of constraints do we have on Legion size?

[Specter189]

@BCTheEntity Yeah, something about a massive gate somewhere near the bottom of Holy Terra that a large number of Custodes were seen walking through, with the sounds of a titanic battle echoing from the other side.

Anywho my sheet's getting near completion, the dramatis personae will be fun, might take a bit extra time to fill that up but whatevs

@Roosan Gotta admit Terra for The Emperor is a pretty bitchin deal

[BCTheEntity]

@Savage Actually, it turns out most of the Legions in canon had substantially more than 10000 members for most of their run, and only a few had less than that; the highest was the Ultramarines, with a frankly staggering 250000 members, whilst some seven or eight other Legions had more than 100000 members at the time the Horus Heresy began. With that in mind, I'm not going to put any direct limit on how high a Legion's strength can be, though I recommend you keep it sensible; a million Astartes isn't going to happen, no matter how hard you beg for it.

@Savage

[Specter189]

@BCTheEntity Please tell me there's at least an unspoken rule against Imperium Secundus 2.0

[BCTheEntity]

@Specter189 Uh. You're going to have to explain what you mean by that. I can't say I've heard that term before.

[Specter189]

@Specter189 Uh. You're going to have to explain what you mean by that. I can't say I've heard that term before.

@BCTheEntity

Mr. Spiritual Liege's best idea evar. He saw that whole "Horus Heresy" business go down, and after getting utterly embarassed by Lorgar, decided in his infinite wisdom as a great champion that all spess muhrenes look up to:

To marshal all his forces at Macragge and establish what basically amounted to a second Imperium, with him as its leader. Instead of, y'know, go help daddy

1d4chan.org/wiki/Imperium_Secundus

[Lord Coake]

@Specter189Then, once the Heresy ended, he quietly dusted it under the rug of the original Imperium and pretended that it had never existed.

[BCTheEntity]

@Specter189 Oh, right, the whole Ultramar thing. I kind of figured, but... I mean, there isn't necessarily an explicit rule against it, given the loophole that a Legion/Chapter ruling a single planet isn't illegal even if it's the capital of a whole bunch of other planets? It's just the timing is kind of important when planning on setting up your empire-with-an-empire. Doing it in the middle of a civil war isn't good timing.
