Cloaked War

[Error]

So I started an improv homebrew DnD/Dark Heresy style RP with Des, Tau, Solar, and Dayn. They're a team from (insert shadow organization here), attempting to repel an alien invasion, or maybe just steal their stuff for their organization.

This thread is for reference, and if you want to join, I shall PM you where we play.


Players, AESIR group:

Tau - Marksman, 44 Aim, 39 Willpower, 15 Evade. 7.62 BR, 1 grenade. 7 HP. 4 missions complete.
Desdenova - Berserker, 32 Aim, 45 Willpower, 20 Evade. M1019 Shotgun, 2 grenades. 7 HP. 3 mission complete.
Fenway - Engineer, 32 Aim, 39 Willpower, 15 Evade. 5.56 AR, 1 grenade. 7HP. 2 mission complete.
Julo - Scout, 32 Aim, 39 Willpower, 15 Evade. 5.56 AR, 1 grenade. 7HP. 2 mission complete.
Ivan - Medic, 32 Aim, 45 Willpower, 15 Evade. 5.56 AR, 1 grenade. 7HP. 1 missions complete.
Jade - Berserker, 32 Aim, 45 Willpower, 20 Evade. M1019 Shotgun, 2 grenades. 7HP. 0 missions complete.

Basic Rules:

2 actions (move, shoot, grenade, heal, take cover) per turn.

Shooting / skill tests are the Dark Heresy system - rolling 1d100 (I roll), it needs to be the skill value or lower.
(E.g. firing at Aim 44: roll 1d100, roll=27, 27<44, hit, damage depends on weapon.)

5.56 does 3 damage, 7.62 does 5, .50 caliber 6, and 10.2mm gyrojets do 8 if hit, 2 from splash.

Evade is the penalty reaction fire has against that unit.

Called shots (firing at something other than center of mass) are -5 to Aim. Headshots are -10.

Basic Armour adds 1 to HP (done automatically). Reactive Armour adds 2HP, and Titan Arnour 5HP. Other tiers available later.

Rules subject to change.

5.56mm Assault Rifle (special: 3-round burst), normal damage 3.

.50 caliber Lance Rifle (marksman or scout only; special: unseen (causes enemies near target to panic if target is killed)), normal damage 7.

[Professor Fenway]

I might be interested, as a recruit or something. Let me think about it.

[ACH0225]

I'd be willing to be le bad guy

[Error]

These aren't invading owls, but you could be the leader of an EXALT clone, maybe?

[ACH0225]

Exalt? What is? I was more hoping for being a SpecOps soldier for a Strigiforme-controlled secret group.

[Professor Fenway]

Sounds like an XCOM-esque thingy.

Ok, I want in.

[cats]

Can I be a mage?

[Error]

No magic, but you could be tech equivalent.

@Fen PM away, and you're now part of Solar's team unless you want to create a new organization.

[ACH0225]

Group- HÄGER(theme here)
Seeks to eliminate all armed resistance, and is thought to have infiltrated high ranks in many militaries. They eliminate armed resistance to prepare for the oncoming Strigiforme interdimensional invasion, and as such allow other aliens to attack(?) so as to weaken any resistance and make people feel gratitude to the Strigiforme when they kill all other aliens.

Agent Cyril-Marksman, 53 Aim, 41 Willpower, 12 Evade. 7.62 BR, Service Pistol(?), 1 grenade, 1 medkit. 5 HP. 4 missions complete.

[Error]

Actually, all players start out as Rank 1, 32 Aim (might be different depending on species), 39 WP*, 15 Evade* (*again, depends on species), grenade, 5.56.

This switches up a little. But everyone starts with 0 missions complete at Rank 1.

[Julo]

What do you mean by where we play?

[Archduke Daynel, PhD]

What do you mean by where we play?

The location, website and/or application at which we, the players, along with Error, the game master, play/act out this D&D/Dark Heresy -ish roleplay.

[Julo]

Thanks, Daynel!
Well, then I'm definitely interested, it would be nice if you would PM me.

[Ivan2006]

I want in.

[Tau]

This RP is dead and I killed it.
