Yeah I can understand issues like that, which is why I thought to ask really. So many different types of ways of playing online really.

Not really sure what I want to go yet though. Thinking Librarian but I'm rather unsure how often rolls on the table of "Fuck you and your party" occur, or Techmarine.

[Taricus]

Surprisingly, not often. Last Perils of the warp we've seen happened to the enemy.

[Cthulhu]

In Dark Heresy it was bad.  Perils of the Warp is the kind of mechanic that really hurts the player, and only the player.  An enemy psyker will rarely cast his spells enough for something bad to happen, but players roll in every encounter, every session.  It's pretty much guaranteed you'll eventually get killed by Perils if you're a psyker in Dark Heresy.

In Rogue Trader and Deathwatch though they changed the powers up so it's a lot safer and actually more interesting.  It's no longer capricious fate deciding to turn you into a daemonhost because you lit a torch with your mind.  If something goes catastrophically wrong it's because you went too far.  It's your fault.  That's fun and it's in keeping with how psykers should be.  In the new version you have three tiers of cast, Fettered, Unfettered, and Push.  Fettered lowers your effective Psy Rating but there's no risk of psychic phenomena.  Unfettered is normal.  Push increases your Psy Rating but automatically invokes psychic phenomena.

Sounds good than, I mostly remembered Dark heresy's so I didn't really wish to risk such a fate. (It's fun to explode, but hey I want to live a little in my first game) So I'll create up a sheet later than I guess, though I kinda need some help with it.

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, just ask your questions on here or in PMs.

And that's three.  One more, preferably two.

I assume everyone joining can play at the expected times?

[Darvi]

I can't do Tuesday (but neither do you so meh) or Sunday (but neither can Taric, so meh again).

[Taricus]

Wednesdays I can definitely make, the others I'm not too sure about, but I'll try.

[ZebioLizard2]

Can't play mondays, fridays, or early saturdays (Don't expect me before 3PM)

[Cthulhu]

Here's a fillable PDF character sheet

As it's PDF, ther'es a pretty good chance once you're finished with it you won't be able to edit it again.  If so, I guess it won't be useful.

There, finished. Feel like I missed something though

[Criptfeind]

Hum. Missed this somehow. I will join. Let me make a guy (might take a day or so, pretty busy.)

I can do the Wednesdays just fine, and it looks like others can as well.

[Cthulhu]

Wednesday it is, then.  If anyone can't do it, speak now.

[ZebioLizard2]

That days good. Will we be starting on the 21'st? Or waiting for more players

[Cthulhu]

Starting this coming Wednesday, September 21st

Probably at 5 o'clock EST (GMT-5 or maybe -4, stupid Daylight Savings Time)

Also, did some playtesting with the new gameplay elements I've implemented.  I'm satisfied with the challenge, it'll be good.

One thing I don't like though is Assault Marines.  Not to cramp the style of anyone planning to play one, but they're kind of... not good.  I can't think of any satisfying melee opponents that wouldn't wreck your shit at rank 1.  A chaos marine will stomp you, tyranid warriors will stomp you, etc.  Once you've got lightning attack and some other abilities like that you'll be fine but early on your bolt pistol is way better than your chainsword.

[Darvi]

(GMT-5 or maybe -4, stupid Daylight Savings Time)

Word. But yeah, that's good.
