Hey guys, So...I've had an idea in my head for a while, and after discussing it with a couple of folks in private, I'd like to post it here for all to see. With how well the Necromunda RP is going, I wanted to expand on the same system for game play. What I've come up with is more in depth than the Necromunda style (but not as deep as PnP style, don't worry yourself about it not being casual friendly!) For my next project I wanted to get as many races involved as possible, so players had a nice plethora of possible characters to pick from, but that's hard to do without breaking the lore. I also wanted to feature space battles, something your feedback to me suggested you'd all be interested in. I wanted to have the ability to upgrade a headquarters/spaceship, too, and all whilst retaining the system I laid out in Necromunda. I struggled for a theme for a while, but I eventually settled on one that I like, doesn't break lore, and allows for multiple races to be there. As most of you know, I've been working on a sort of ''master database'' for roleplay stuff, done in the style of my Necromunda RP, which includes weapons, armour, gear, vehicles, classes, creatures, traits and more. I want this RP to be the first to be based on that database. At the minute, there's still a good long way to go before it's ready. So why am I posting now? Well the reason is two-fold. 1. To see if/how many people are interested. 2. To get help with additions to the database. So what do I currently need? Ranged weapon ideas. If there are weapons with several patterns, only list them if that's a discernible difference (eg one is more potent, or more prone to breaking, or whatever). Trait ideas. Vehicle ideas (both space, and ground). Class ideas (I have a bunch already laid out, but more ideas are welcome). With your help my adding to the database will become even faster, once I have factored in pricing and whatnot. Meanwhile I'll be laying out the plans for the RP in general and completing other aspects of the database. Any questions/suggestions? ^^ EDIT: I forgot to post the races I'm looking to include; Humans- renegade IG, human mercenaries Astartes- renegade marines (will be different from the chaos marines, insofar as they don't worship the dark gods, nor do they use chaos tech). Chaos- cultists, chaos marines Dark Eldar Eldar- corsairs Tau- renegade tau Kroot- mercenaries Orks EDIT2: I forgot to mention this, but I don't want combat to be the sole focus of this upcoming RP. I want there to be other things beside that. I'll be using scenarios such as ''go to point x, try to recruit person y'' or ''go to store x, buy ship part y'' and other things that don't involve fighting ^^
ME ME, PICK ME! In so far as ideas for weapons, there's a grenade I made up in the eldar strikeforce RP that basically does this: View: http://youtu.be/81UuRdz20EI?t=55s Thank you Shad for finding that, much easier than explaining.
Awesome. I wasn't really looking for made up weapons, though I'll take some. I was more looking for those which exist in the lore already. I'll add any made up stuff last if it doesn't already exist in the lore, and if it has a name, definitive purpose, etc, etc. I've got the melee pretty much down pat, and most of the solid projectile pistols are in. I'm just about on to the solid projectile rifles, but still have las, bolter, flamers, meltas, plasma, launchers and grenades to go in the guns
Just wanted to say I'd definitely be interested. As for the ranged weapons, well, the Fantasy Flight Games 40k RPGs seem to be a nice source of weapons.
Indeed they are. Between them and the TT rules, I'm slowly building the compilation of weapons I want to include.
