I really enjoy roleplaying and do so every weak, preferably twice in two different campaigns. Sometimes even more.
From time to time i've done some forum roleplaying with mixed success. I've tried GM-ing with even more mixed success and all in all, i find forum rp's enjoyable. Hence why i joined, hoping to play some forum rp's and OWN at it. (Or something.)
I have an erratic thought pattern so my posts can appear as incoherent, if you notice you can just mention it if i should clarify anything. Other than that, hey there fellas.
There are those who are not proper sisters of battle. Who just go about helping people.
Or similar. Those have great knowledge of medicine. Astartes physiology is sturdy enough to fix itself with some monitoring. And for me.... well, i'm not totally mechanical. So i'll just make sure not to get any important bits blown off. I should be fine.
Also, in a pinch, (and if he would want to), the techmarine can fix up a techpriest without much problem. Most of the systems are exactly the same. So with only a few "Wait, where does this part go? Oh, right." It would go fine.
But yeah true, i guess i sorta forgot Oskar a bit. However he is a criminal and looks the part....
Nah, it will be fine. I'm sure you can come up with a character. :) I myself never try to fill in skill gaps in the group. I make my character. Then the group might have severe problems. But one can solve that in game!
@Necroes You could make a regular type person who has the overpowered ability to appear normal and talk to people.
It might be a bit overpowered though. (Just kidding, :P)
But the immediate thing that occurs to me as lacking is someone who can go into a room, and not have everyone point and scream at in terror/awe. A clever character.
Alpha legion dude could work, but do we need more marines? I feel kinda small here. With Oskar.
It will take part after the events in the Meridian federation. But i think i will get out of that one just fine. Just so that we can keep the action going. Since there wasn't any other takers, and some violence is fun now and again :P
@OfWindAndRain Although you need sensors good enough to pick up the projectiles, and early enough for you to dodge them. And thrusters good enough to do some fancy maneuvers. Unlike the spacecraft we have IRL today. Who DO NOT like doing fancy maneuvers.
@Necroes That's a heartfelt post. I'll try to respond with one.
You seem like a kinda wild, positive and imaginative guy(?) those are all good qualities. I however only share imaginative of those. Ok i try to be positive, but it's hard. You are also a bit a bit of a rebel in your style. I have a friend IRL who is a rebel at heart. He's really fun to hang out with since we share a lot of hobbies and ideas. But i can't hang with him too much since i'd be overrun with all his energy.
But it's really fun in dozes. :D
I think you like worldbuilding. And that's really cool. I love worldbuilding myself. But i don't think anyone going into a 40k rp expects worldbuilding. They are setting themselves up for some action in a evil future full of possibilities. Many which are bad. So here comes a guy who's all like "Eyyy! Let's change up the playing field a little! Why we not just bend the rules a bit!" And people are confused and feel a bit annoyed, since here we have come and decided to play some 40k, which is a very defined and old setting. Sure, it has seen a bunch of revisions but most of the dramatic ones have happened very early and very late in its lifetime.
Most think of 40k with this in between kind of way. And the lore is actually mostly straightforward there.
So we come in with a mindset, to play within the box, then you Necroes comes along and suggest that the east wall, it's a bit boring, let's cut away half of it. And people are like "Wait, what?" and it goes on from there.
So where most of us are considering which of the balls of backstory really fits in the box, the red ball or green ball. Since one needs to decide since both of those pieces of fluff are mutually exclusive, the whole cutting up the box is a bit too crazy. How are the balls gonna stay inside? If one is making a crossover, go nuts. Rip the box apart. I've had fun like that myself, with my battle brother Aurellius rp on the grey knights forum. greyknights.forumotion.com/t3517-batt…
It's crazy, lore be damned and let's have stupid fun.
So i think you play better with more world building, where all rules have not been defined. Or you just dislike rules overall. Regardless, you wondered what i'd do in your place.
I join an RP, check out the backstory and make a character i think would be fun. I bend a little with the rules since that is fun. (Heck, just look at Zuriel.) And make a really cool character i want to play. He's got magic, and a cool gun, or whatever. The character isn't disapproved from the beginning, since i know what happens if one of my characters is disapproved from the beginning. If the character isn't ok, no changing it. It will burn. Either i make a new character, or i leave the rp. IRL i've always made new characters since i want to play with my groups.
But this time, i've not been disapproved, which means my character was alright! I mean, all the info was there to begin with, this character is ok in this rp! So i go nuts, do the epic things i've planned to do. It's cool to write how awesome my character is.
If the character wasn't ok, why was it approved.
I myself prefer to have my character nuked before we start if it isn't ok. But you might have thought it would be fine. Which i can understand.
But then, other players come along and say -"You can't do that, it's not ok with lore." Mostly when this happens, i don't know the lore. Since i'm too lazy to read up on all the lore beforehand.
And here the big difference in our personalities comes in. Either, i try to go more with the lore. It's not ok after all. Or i go -"Well, if i do it like this. Is it ok then?" But if the players are like, NOPE. Stick to lore. What you are doing isn't allowed, do it right or not at all. (Which is basically what we're on here.) I'd be really bummed out, think i did wrong and blame myself. After all it's always my fault and i leave, possibly sad.
But you don't leave. You don't let people let you down. Or something. I actually don't see where you are coming from, since i as a person isn't like that. I also have aspergers which means it's a bit troublesome to think from others perspectives. Unless i have studied it before.
Since i don't naturally figure out how i should react in such a situation. I don't know the correct way. Or i have decided "This is the correct way." And will stick with it to death. I won't understand others views if they just state it.
I've rambled, i do that.
So, i think what people are more like is the question. "Necroes, no we don't dislike you. But you can't cut up our cardboard play castle to build a spaceship. We are playing knights now. Either you come inside and play knights with us and argue like us on what sort of balls we should throw at each other. Or come another time and then we might be playing spaceship."
I think the metaphor works. I think....
Anyway. Don't feel like i dislike you, i've actually agreed with you on several occasions and tried to be non-anal on my view on 40k. Tried, perhaps not succeeded mind you.
So Necroes. Do you wanna play knights with us? :P Otherwise we can build a spaceship some other time, it's probably gonna be fun!
Ey, i haven't said all your stuff is wrong @Necroes.
I don't see why this is so "not according to fluff" though. As with GW, they are insane and i try not to think about them. I will admit it. I live in the past in some sort of slightly after 4th edition world where everything was good.
As with the spores, there are squigs and grots long before orks, but i get your point. And i think it was a good choice.
As with the ship, eldar would have been interesting, but we can not really within any sort of sense within the lore understand how to drive an eldar vessel. The prospect of forcing eldar to work for us is fun. But implausible. However a lot more plausible than driving it ourselves. But the wraithbone idea was a bit out there. I'm for seeing how one can bend the 40k world and see how far one can go. I added whole new races and stuff when i ran rogue trader once. But then at the same time there are certain rules. Like bonesingers with wraithbone.
Example of me letting players bend the rules. When i ran rogue trader, one of the players was the astropath. He wanted to be corrupted. I saw it as highly implausible, but he came up with a sort of plausible story. I thought about it, said screw it, and let him be corrupted. So, he got corrupted after the binding, so it could happen that he was corrupted. Also he refused to play if he wasn't allowed to be corrupted. He could be a bit annoying that way.
Many would say "but astropaths are basically never corrupted, because the emperor has reforged their souls to protect against that." But i say it could happen, so i let it happen.
But then there are factual rules of the setting. Like you need to be a bonesinger to mold wraithbone. Only navigators can properly navigate the warp. Etc'
I tend to not let any bending of the factual rules. But there are many things one can bend to try and solve problems. Like a psyker player only having 3 psychic powers. But then the player say "I want to try and emulate this effect with psychic power." I'd let him try. It won't be easy, it's implausible he'll succeed. But since it is plausible that the psyker could do it. I'm usually fine with it.
But there's also the question of power level. "I want to light a candle." Go for it. "I want to rip the other ship in two." The what now?
Funnily enough, I had been preparing to have a mass of Armsmen turn up soon to see what's going on, so - if things do go sour for our Ork - then that could very well be how he meets his end.
A dozen should be enough to handle a simple prison riot. I mean, there is a battle going on after all. One needs soldiers on their posts to repel any boarders.
