[OOC] WHFRPG: The Masquerade of Horrors

Super Namicchi

Just wondering if anyone would want to play in a short scenario for WHFRPG. I'd be pre-generating characters and using a published adventure. it'd be a neat diversion I think, with a distinct end in mind, designed for exposing people to the Warhammer world.

I'm looking for three players, and it's not first-come-first-served. so speak up if you think a mini-campaign would be fun to play for a week or so!

Horseshoe

destroyah87

Sure, why not.

I like Warhammer, grit + fantasy. sign me up.

Horseshoe

Horseshoe

destroyah87

Berthold!

Super Namicchi

so is no one else interested in playing a short scenario? the book isn't required...

Crovaxan

sure I'll take whatever isn't already taken... oh alda i'll be alda

Super Namicchi

sweet Crovax

kay guys I'll have something going probably tomorrow.

TheLawinator

I'm too late.

Super Namicchi

don't worry Lawinator, when this is wrapped up I might do another one with a new module and take on a player

TheLawinator

Coolio, this runs off the same system as DH, right?

Super Namicchi

More or less yeah

there are some differences but it is by and large identical

Morskittar

I'm sad I missed this. My enthusiasm for Warhammer is vastly beyond that for 40k.

I may observe and continue to learn from your ability at running PbP games, Arcanis. For nefarious purposes.

Super Namicchi

IC thread is up me hearties!

Super Namicchi

first player post and already the caliber of the game is way too high

reel in the awesome please, you are hogging it all 'shoe

Horseshoe

i refuse to reel it in

also: get on aim arc

destroyah87

Berthold don't see nothin'

1d100=95 versus target of 42.

Horseshoe

int of 33...

lookin (1d100=12)

hey how about that

destroyah87

It's not Bert's fault. those pancakes from breakfast are seeking their revenge.

Crovaxan

!d100=44 needed a 16 anyway.

Super Namicchi

alrighty, well Otto:

You see that the deck of the ship is stained in blood, with gold coins scattered about. But that's not all; you also see that behind some crates is a corpse, crows picking at the eyes as flies flit about.

Horseshoe

initiative! (1d10 34=40)

Crovaxan

1d10+27 → [8,27]= 35 pretty good if i do say so myself.

Edit: I hate you horse.

Horseshoe

eh, destro's just going to blow us all up anyway or like barf up some horrible demon or whatever it is wizards do

Super Namicchi

Horseshoe

nice hat dork

Crovaxan

A witch hunter! I love witch hunters too bad i have to put this dude down.

EDIT: Dibs on his pistols

Super Namicchi

hopefully Bert will put him down with a Magic Dart

Horseshoe

we are fucked

well, at least Otto is

Crovaxan

I tried man, but Alda isn't that good with that crossbow

Super Namicchi

also to put into perspective: you were just forced to kill a Sigmarite witch hunter. Sigmar is the imperial god and if someone saw you killing this guy the most lenient sentence for your crime would be a hanging.

Not that I don't mind the mercenary attitude, but I find it hard to believe anyone in the Empire would be so *shrug* about what just happened

destroyah87

yeah, see, this is why I am looking for the book. I know the system passibly but the setting fluff... well there my knowledge is lacking.

Going to edit it to something more appropriate.

Super Namicchi

update a-comin' soon

Horseshoe

sorry for my absence dudes

are we still playin' this one?

because seriously, this is a game where i'm enjoying my dude getting shot twice and almost killed.

which is sweet.

Super Namicchi

i have no idea what's going on, finals are still sort of hanging over different people so it might be awhile before our games get rolling smoothly again
