[Sirus]

I wouldn't mind a game, I've always wanted to try one of these WH40k RPGs. I would prefer a PBP game but if the GM wants to do it live then Sunday would be best.

[Remuthra]

Sunday's best for me as well. Last time I tried to play two games in one day it was a bit much.

[Aseaheru]

Well, Im thinking of cranking out a new regiment to muck about with, so heres a question for you guys: Frontier or Post-Cataclysmic?

[Sirus]

What are the differences between the two?

[Aseaheru]

 Frontier costs an extra point, gives +3 to  two of three choices: agility, BS, and perception. It also gives awareness, linguistics for lowgothic, surface navigate, survival, combat sense or quickdraw, comrades work within 15m, and get a -20 to interacting with new outsiders who have rank.
 Meanwhile, Post-cataclysmic costs one less point, gives +3 to  two of three choices: weapon skill, BS, and perception, grants awareness, linguistics(low gothic) survival, +10 bonuses to survival tests to get food and drink, and +10 to techuse tests for repairing and jury-rigging equipment that is "not overly advanced". It also hands out 1d5 insanity, and resistance to cold, radiation, or fear.

[Sirus]

Post-cataclysmic sounds like it would give us a (ever-so-slightly) greater chance to survive. I vote for that.

[Remuthra]

My vote would depend upon what sort of concept you're working towards. Regiment type is the all-important factor.

[Aseaheru]

guerrillas/light infantry

[Remuthra]

Probably want post-cataclysmic, then, for staying alive and the environmental resistance, if not for the jury-rigging.

[Aseaheru]

Allrighty then. Post cataclysmic it is.

[Aseaheru]

Well, I have a unit, but no backstory or planet guff yet. Here it is.

I think I got everything working right

[Sirus]

I thought it was supposed to be "+10 to survival tests to obtain potable food and water", not +1.

[Aseaheru]

It is. Hell, thanks for catching that.

[Sirus]

No problem. Also, how did we switch from lascarbines to autoguns? Is it part of being Poorly Provisioned?

[Aseaheru]

Nope, that was one of the two liberties taken. Instead of upgrading it to a lasgun I upgraded it to an autogun instead.

The other liberty was to spend a point on an extra clip of ammo for it per person.
