Ich suche noch nach ein paar Spielern die bei einer online Kampagne mitmachen wollen. Eins vorweg, ich bin zwar deutsch, aber es wird eine internationale Kampagne, d.h. es spielen auch Leute aus Übersee mit. Deshalb wird alles komplett auf englisch gehalten. Ich habe bereits auf anderen Foren inseriert und deshalb kopiere ich einfach den Text von dort.
I'm looking for some players who are willing to join a new online campaign I'm going to start.
Although I've already played several Dark Heresy campaigns, this is going to be my first time as GM.
But I think I'm ready. Here's what you need to have:
1. A solid character background. This campaign is going to be about story, flair and atmosphere and not only about stats and equipment.
2. Fantasy Grounds II. The best platform for online RPGing. Especially because it got a Dark Heresy module, so effectively everything from character sheets to dice rolls is going to be done there. It comes at a justified cost, 23 dollars for the lite version you will need as a player. It's worth it and there is a very good tutorial video. Check it out:
Fantasy Grounds :: The Virtual Tabletop for Pen & Paper Roleplaying Games
3. Ventrilo. A VoiP program we will be using in addition to FG 2, for setting up the game and out of character questions. I also want to try out some new stuff, like using audio material to support the atmosphere.
I have a server set up and you can download the free version here:
Ventrilo - Surround Sound Voice Communication Software
4. Characters start with 500 XP.
5. Starting wealth is the maximum possible career roll +150 thrones.
6. Campaign will last for a total of 10 missions. This is a long term investment.
As a last note, I am European. Of course people from other areas of Terra are welcome, but this has an influence on the time we're going to play. We can still discuss this depending on everyones schedule, but we will probably be having a session once a week, most likely weekend in the evening, european time. This means afternoon EST and morning PST.
Here is a little teaser of what to expect from the campaign:
Captain's Log, Rogue Trader "The Seventh Serpent", Calixis Sector, Segmentum Obscurus.
[T+2 / 1215] - We had a smooth transition into the warp, all systems are running normal and we are making good speed. All cargo intact. Estimated time of arrival: no more than 4 days.
[T+3 / 0346] - Malfunction of the security doors to the reactor room. Cause was an electrical discharge in the door panel, probably due to overusage. System replaced and reset.
[T+4 / 0627] - Code Black: Missing Crew. Petty Officer Reese has not reported in for duty. Calls to his cabin were not answered. Security forced their way in and reported that his cabin was empty. Security Teams Alpha and Bravo are running a sweep of the ship. (Personal note: Reese supposedly behaved weird ever since we were planetside four days ago, but I doubt that has anything to do with this. He's probably blitzed on somna or night dust or something and fell down some gantry. I will blow him out of the airlock for causing such a commotion.)
[T+4 / 0658] - Slight rise in reactor core temperature. Enginarum is informed.
[T+4 / 0705] - Reactor core temperature critical, 400 degrees above allowed maximum. Emergency Warp exit initiated.
[T+4 / 0709] - Reentry into Materium, followed by reactor shutdown. Backup systems only. Enginarum informs me of sabotage of the reactor cooling tanks and that it is going to take a while to repair. Yellow Alert ordered, armed guards now in position at all vital areas of the ship. Crewman Reese still missing.
We're floating like a dead rock in the middle of nowhere.
[T+4 / 0902] - Proximity sensors show a suspicious feedback shadow. Could be from a cloaked ship. I am taking no more chances today. Red Alert, all men to battlestations.
[T+4 / 0905] - Ship under fire. Hull breach on decks 3 and 5. Targeters cannot locate an attacking ship to fire back at.
[T+4 / 0911] - By the emperor, intruder alert in the shuttle bay! We are being borded! Security teams Alpha, Bravo and Charlie ordered to shuttle bay.
[T+4 / 0926] - All communications lost to the lower decks. Still dont know what we are up against, but it seems to be too much. Sealing all connections to the lower decks.
[T+4 / 0939] - They've broken through. This is it, nowhere left to go. We will make our last stand at the bridge.
[T+4 / 0943] - They are coming...
If you are interested, make a post in this thread that you you want to join and what kind of character you would like to play. Then send me a PM with your email adress and I will send you the details.
Cheers
