[Sirus]

Being the tech guy is fine. I wasn't expecting to be able to drive tanks or anything

[Aseaheru]

Right, so, looks like sundays about 5-7PM EST have it. So, anyone have a (free) suggestion of where to do it? We could always go with Roll20, or use something else that you all suggest.

Also, Im going to be chucking a possible backstory and such here, so tell me what you think, along with some possible names.

Oh, and if all goes well, what do you all think about starting this sunday?

Spoiler: Possible world backstory (click to show/hide)

 The world of [BLANK] was a fairly normal world devoted to producing lumber and relatively small quantities of food and similar products for its region of the Imperium until a number of factors conspired to turn it into a frozen hellhole. First of all was the eruption of Mets Krtsk’yer Hrabukh, a super-volcano roughly three times the size of the fabled Yellowstone of Terra. The exceptionally large quantities of ash and rock launched into the atmosphere conspired not only to ground all void-capable vessels but to block all means of communication, while also killing off almost all of the surface plant life. What population survived lived within shelters set within the earth for hundreds of years, until the ash began to clear from the atmosphere, allowing the inhabitants to begin once more to attempt to contact the imperium.
 When help eventually did come, it came with a price. The vessels that responded to the populations call for aid would only do so for trade goods, and with the worlds capacity to produce just about anything destroyed by the eruption the world instead chose to give its final resource; trained and hardened soldiers, well versed in surviving in taiga, and in surviving without aid. The peoples of these four regiments live in hope of oneday returning to their world, and helping it become great someday...

Oh, how does Tegh Tsarreri sound for a world name?

[Cheesecake]

How about Tegh Tsarreri IV? Adding a IV to any planet makes it even more sci-fi.

Is it possible to move it to 6-8PM? Because where I live I'd have to wake up at 5AM. It's cool if you don't change it; I'll probably just speak really quietly.

I don't mind starting this Sunday.

Do you want us to post sheets here or on myth-weavers?

[Aseaheru]

I dont really mind much where you place yous sheets, aslong as we can all get at them.

I am going to be making a poll for finalized times, and here is also where I ask if anyone has a suggestion where to begin other than Roll20.

-edit-
 Also the "name-number" approach is typically for naming en-mass for systems. And would be kinda odd with Tegh Tsarreri...

[Remuthra]

I believe I was messing around a bit with a snow world earlier which I called Daenoris, if you'd like to use that.

[Sirus]

Does myth-weavers have an Only War template? I can't seem to find one.

[Cheesecake]

Does myth-weavers have an Only War template? I can't seem to find one.

No, can't find one either. Can we use the Dark Heresy template? Is it compatible?

[Aseaheru]

I just use notepad, myself.

[Remuthra]

Does myth-weavers have an Only War template? I can't seem to find one.

There's one in the works, but for now, no. I just use text.

[Sirus]

So what's our regiment name going to be? The 3rd Tegh Tsarreri Rifles or something?

Also Aseaheru, do you plan to roll our characteristics for us or are we going to do it ourselves?

[Aseaheru]

Probably something along the lines of the "4th Tegh Tsarreri Recon Regiment"...

Also, you lot get to make your chars. Jsut no cheating!

[I trust in your honor in not cheating]

I'm not gonna be the best shot, but Agility seems like it will be our bread and butter in a light infantry/stealth-based regiment. At least INT and PER are decently high, which should help me do my techie stuff.

Side Question: What sort of weapon should I be taking here? Am I going to be the tank hunter, or do we have a Weapons Specialist for that?

[Aseaheru]

 Dont know yet, When I was creating the regiment I considered giving EVERYONE a single-use missile launcher, but nixed that idea. Chances are the big group will get dumped in with a few crates of missiles and a bunch of explosives, and those you fight will probably have spares, but as for the squad, well, it depends on the other two members. Since Cake wants to be a medic, ask Elf (If he does get in a position to be able to join, hey, you never know) or... Wow, only four people posted on this thread, counting me... Hrmmm... Well, the choice is between having a heavy snubber and a rifle, or having a missile launcher with five frag rounds and a rifle... Up to you, really.
