Hot dogs are already cooked. Might as well just sear them to add flavor.

If you take college seriously, it opens doors. Harvard and Hopkins makes it easier, but you can do well anywhere.

Prefer to brainstorm on Discord for that reason.

First post is up. The deal is this; we have a forested/rolling hills sort of area because I am envisioning the Dirty Dozen with Space Marines and because they need to commandeer some Rhino APC's.
Beyond that, I left it somewhat open so people can improvise on what the deployment is (do they start on the outskirts and cut down sentries or do they land hard in the middle and start killing, or is there a split of forces to try to do both?) and what the enemy forces look like.
It's also worth noting that the entire militia is not corrupted, but character actions can determine whether or not some of them break off and flee (or fight alongside) or simply get wiped out due to suspicion.
Also, they're probably suspicious too. Odds are, they've seen some traitor marines. Of course, characters are displaying loyalist symbols, some of them anyway, so that might help.

The Path of Thorns
Argyos was set for defense against a large scale foe; a fleet and invasion force. The Governor had a number of Imperial Army veterans in his planetary defense forces, as well as retired officers to run it, which made it a strong organization. Nonetheless, Argyos was something of a retirement home, a place of rolling plains and gentle forests to hunt in, an ideal place to set up fiefdoms over the natives.
It was also a place that sided with the Warmaster. As the heresy spread, the men in charge changed their loyalties over and began to become enmeshed in cult behavior. The governor threw lavish parties that became more gluttonous and more wanton in turn, and it moved down into the ranks of the militia, who oversaw the labors of the natives. The world had hidden archaeotech buried beneath its crust at certain sites and these, along with the supply of lumber and other raw materials, made it a strategically useful, though not vital, world to the holder of its allegiance.
The natives did not realize that the world had fallen to Warmaster Horus. No one really noticed that the world had done so in the wider conflagration of the Heresy.
But this world was one the Trader originally discovered and led the forces for. He had connections here and bore some responsibility. These were his brothers in arms that settled the world while he stayed in the void, helping to spread the Imperial Truth. The fall of these men to betrayal was stinging to the man, but he continued to put the planet on his trade route, delivering ever-increasing quantities of off-world delicacies and drugs.
It wasn't as simple as gate crashing a party of Militia command-level officers; Chateau Thorn, the site of one of many week-long parties for the conquerors of Argyos, was remote in the countryside from Argyos Port, but had patrols of guards and light vehicles. There was a reaction force as well, of well-armed troops mounted on a squadron of four rhino APC's.
The goal wasn't even to punish these traitors. It was to acquire those Rhinos. The week was going to be spent celebrating the conquest of the planet, with a huge parade of military vehicles and might on the very day, to show the natives the might of their new conquerors. But if some traitor leadership were to go missing, it would throw the enemy defenses in disarray too.
And so small supply craft flew in with the Rogue Trader's promised deliveries of equipment, as well as something else.

Are we starting the rp any time soon chaos?
Yeah, I'm writing the first post, actually.
Bump.

What is your connection or interest in horses that you would be attending such a party?
I live in Baltimore, it's traditional.
Is anyone else still considering this? I think Polybius had good suggestions. At this juncture, if we still have interest, I think we move forward with the vote system. People propose books, people vote, most votes is the book of the month.
It's not like this would be the one and only book club anyway, but I feel like it's the fastest way to get this moving, and keep it democratic.

Looks good. I have a party to attend tonight for the Preakness Stakes, but tomorrow I want to get a post done.
@HeySeuss Well I'm saying for reference he usually operates upon a jetbike like most of the Ravenwing did at the time, since at the time First Legion operates as six wings. However most of that will blown up and along with his squad. After all there has to be a reason Luther never knew how things were going with the Heresy, the messengers never made it.
That works for me. A whiff of conspiracy and paranoia is always necessary for the Angels, but it sounds like you have that well in hand.
@HeySeuss I heard mention of Dark Angels... Perhaps a Ravenwing biker and his companions? If that would be alright.
While the Ravenwing existed in the pre-Heresy/Heresy times, I would be more inclined to work with jetpack-equipped Marines or similar infantry equipment, but I am not sure I want to start with bikes from the getgo. I also think if these Fallen Angels thought that Johnson betrayed the Emperor, they're going to be marked for huntin' after the heresy.
Still, I'm down, since there is a lot of 'no one actually knows what went on' with the Dark Angels.
