Looking for 40k fans

[Darasuum]

PRAISE THE EMPEROR, welcome to warhammer 40k Presently, @Intratec , @Fyremage , @Krajin , @Retroboy and myself ( @Darasuum ) are all in a group playing an online version warhammer 40,000 (abv. 40k) Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy, Black Crusade, Only War, Deathwatch. We are looking for one or two more people to join us in our adventures.

Who is participating in this?
at the moment we have 4 players and 1 GM. I am the GM person you should pay tribute to (just kidding of course).
@Intratec plays a Seneschal that is more or less the rogue of the group. mistress of coin and gift of the gab as well as a fetish for guns.
@Fyremage is our grizzeled kasrkin veteran who is one of the best warriors onboard and personal bodyguard of the captain.
@Krajin a pilot, flyboy, and devote member of the imperial faith. he's basically the group's chauffeur.
@Retroboy currently plays a dark eldar kabalite warrior who is going through a rough patch. normally she's nice but atm she is quite the typical devious xeno.
I am the GM but also facilitate the rest of the npc interaction as well as the captain, a scoundrel but prolific merchant of the dangerous 41st millenium.

What is this about?
well i guess you have to ask yourself. how much do you know about warhammer 40k in general. if not at all this can be quite a daunting game but it can still be quite fun. the group is the crew of a ship that plies the void for honor and glory, fame and fortune. it can be about whatever you make of it. however this is adult content. language of explicit nature, descriptions of violence and regular combat occur. this is a grimdark setting of true science fiction. character deaths happen, injuries and other perils await. it is not for the faint of heart.

When does this take place?
the grand 41st millenium. it is around 900.M41 give or take which means it is one hundred years before the turn of the millenia. If you really know your stuff on 40k then you know some stuff occures in the rest of the galaxy around that time. those events have not occurred yet though.
ooc: we do sessions at least 1 a week on wednesdays at 8 PM central time.

Where does this occure?
No matter where the group goes they usually travel on their ship. This ship can change as time goes on but for the most part stays the same. these aren't the type of ships like the millenium falcon. no they can reach up to a population of a hundred thousand. They are literal cities flying through the voids of space. Explorers take these to both new and old worlds meeting characters and enemies of various kinds.
ooc: we play this on https://roll20.net/ which we will give you an invitation before we start.

currently this is what has happened thus far in the character's adventures.

~Pre-sessions~
The members of the Jackal's Bounty have been picked up by Markku Vaittor in a wide array of events. Tiresias Shiva and Mori Sato already were members of the crew at this point. Yuriael Agon, a Kabalite trueborn, was in the lower levels of the hive world Scintilla having just escaped the massacre of her family in the webway. The capital world of the Calixis sector was also where they happened upon Cade, the kasrkin storm trooper. both of them joined Markku's crew as bodyguards. The crew spent a few months getting to know one another as they traveled and traded in the Calixis sector. They picked up a prominent helmsmen, Nathan Winters, who was also a renown pilot for the navy. On a trip to Locanthos they picked up another Dark Eldar, this time a male wych, who was added to the other mercenaries onboard.

~Wander Visit~
Trading with Port Wander came about and the group heard of a promising endeavor ahead, the Righteous Path. It was a treasure ship and one with the promise of gelt and glory. They met an old man who was a deck officer of Kelbourne, one of the captains that was employed by an ancient Vaittor ancestor and Rogue Trader. A message delivered to the explorers was intercepted and learned by Hadarak Fel, one of the competing rogue traders after the myth. Fel's ambush failed on the port and fled into the Koronus Expanse, seeking to arrive at the Righteous Path's location and loot it for all its worth.


~Into the Maw~
The Jackal's Bounty and its crew rushed after the rival rogue trader. The passage into and through the Maw that was the only entrance into the expanse was not easy initially but over all the crew made it through the warp without issue aside from some mild nausia. but upon exiting they were met by a distress beacon and lured into a trap. the Jackal's Bounty fought off the raiders and rescued the pilgrim crew that had been at the mercy of the pirates. They headed to Footfall and transported what they had in their holds, gaining some coin. This was however lost when the explorers decided to make a ruckus in public and the local leaders of Footfall spoke ill of Vaittor by association despite he had nothing to due with the events that took place.

~Magoros System~
The explorers arrive in the Magoros system and explore it to a degree before coming upon the Star Mirror. They assist Lady Ash and the Fel guardsmen with her in combating the primitive orks they engage. They agree to hold off fighting one another until later and learn of the Righteous Path's location.

With the location in hand the group travels to the edge of the system and find the Righteous Path on a large frozen asteroid. As they get closer they realize there are Fel house guard waiting for them. They engage them and utterly decimate them before moving deeper inside the vessel. The explorers find the cargo holds are engergy seal as the grounded vessel still has its reactors running. They decide to go to the bridge and deactivate the cargo hold's seal from there. When they arrive they find Lady Ash and two combat servitors. the servitors are destroyed and Lady Ash taken as a prisoner (mostly for Yuyu and Mark's pleasure)

~Prize Won~
The explorers return to Footfall and gain much coin for their treasure. Word spreads and they are now setting sparks to their potential future legends. The ship is in need of repairs so the crew takes it easy for a month. They gather new equipment, luxuries and replace the population of the crew they lost in previous battles.


~Foresaken Bounty~
The crew hears tell of another ship worthy of plundering. It is located just inward of the Maw. They travel there and find the ship amidst debris, its reactors still active despite being dormant for some time. Boarding the ship they soon realize the ghost ship isn't as uninhabited as they once thought and now must fight their way out to just survive let alone return with anything of worth.

Is this still a thing? I've been into 40k lore since the Primarchs were toddlers.

I currently have an ongoing roleplay session for rogue trader on roll 20. i'd invite you in but we've got six people in one party at the moment so it's already at max capacity. however if you want to rp some diverse roleplay i'd be down.

 

[Ulysses]

if you want to rp some diverse roleplay i'd be down.

If you would like more people, I'd be interested in dusting off my 40k knowledge

 

[Celestine]

I'd also be very interested

 

[Darasuum]

I'm up for ideas. voice what kind of setup you want and i can try to cordinate it. we'd be doing it through diverse roleplay and preferably some sort of rogue trader, death watch setup or "party based roleplaying game"

i also need to update this thread to tell about everything the ongoing group has done.

 

[Ulysses]

I'm up for whatever, though please assume I have no access to the official 40k rp rulesets (i.e. I kind of know what rogue trader is about, but very hazy on specifics)

 

[Darasuum]

won't be using the rules. probably will just have me as the "moderator" aka GM for adventures and the like. i'll run the npcs.

 

[Celestine]

awwww...no "heretics"?
