I love the universe so I don't really care what system we play it with, I'd be interested, but my fear is learning a new system, as that takes time, unless the system is pretty easy to get a hold off and hopefully you don't mind walking me through parts of it.

The rules of the games are some 20 pages per game and they have mostly one single mechanic that solves everything. Even retarded monkey would learn the games in a day or two.

Feel free to chase Wushu down. Wushu open reloaded can be downloaded for free from many places. Still not sure how many players I will take, if I get the game up, but there are not that many interested yet, as to make me have to consider limiting very seriously.

Flames, mutants and brutal melee? Sounds right up my way, just gimme a mo to make sure the evisceratior is well oiled :P

Anyone interested in a high level Dark Heresy game? I've been itching to play one for a while but there aren't many of them around. As I said, I'd like to play in one if there are people interested in playing and someone interested in being the GM.

In reply to Nasme (msg # 189):

Incredibly interested with one more (will check with her).

Also interested in a high level DH game, if a GM can be found.

High level as in rank 5+ or ascension level?

I would prefer Ascension level personally, but 5+ works as well. I understand that Ascension needs some work, but that can be fixed with a few house rules. Alternatively, we could use a ruleset that doesn't include the Ascension rulebook at all, like using the rules from OW or BC to create characters. Though I doubt that is an option we would have a high chance of using. I don't expect that many people have either of those books yet.

I could do ascension level, just a matter if the group wants more investigative and intrigue or more DAKKA!

Sadly all I have access to at the moment is the core book and rouge trader. Im itching for only war but alas I shall wait....

What's wrong with both? Especially if one leads to the other?

+5 level sounds nice to me. It could lead to ascension level, who knows.

Sounds good, let me mull the idea over for a bit. Just started a new job so free time is more limited then what it was. Any preference over where it is based?

I have never played Ascension so I might need some guidance at first, but I tend to pick things up reasonably fast.

I have an idea for a cross over game in which there are two teams, one created and run under the DH Ascension rules, the other, of equivalent level, using Black Crusade ruled. Initially I’d run them through separate adventures but eventually they would learn of each other and clash.

I’d be interested in any thoughts on the matter, is the idea to ambitious? Has anyone tried it before? Any reason why it wouldn’t work? Anyone interested in playing? Anyone interested in helping out with the GMing? Where is the proper place to put this post? Etc.

All comments and advice received.

It's an interesting idea.  I'm not sure how well it might balance out though.

A good, sound idea.
The major, foreseeable problem is character death. If you have them playing before they meet you'll eventually have them skirmish and someone will eventually come away dead or maimed, by which point the player will become very attached and protective of him/her. While we're all big boys and girls, that's a big time and effort investment would, for me, be annoying to have to start all over again.

i'm interested

It is a grand scheme and perhaps to ambitious for RPol and I don't like the idea of eventually PvP. Balancing would be horrible. For one thing, BL uses another system then DH and especially Ascension. And translating Ascension to BL or OW ruleset is hard since Ascension has so many unique talents and powers.

To be honest, I think that pitting high level DH vs BL would be a better idea (if you tone done those Space Marines)

Black Crusade characters can actually be quite dangerous.  I have a renegade in another game who's built like an assasin and can take out a space marine with the jump on him.  Glass cannon, yes, but still dangerous if tooled up right.

Sure, but compared to say the Vindicare? Or the Psyker Primaris?

I will have to agree that there's some interesting points in there, but I think that the difference between the two system is going to be a little too different, especially since Ascension does give access to some Unnatural tracts that can really screw over some of the Black Crusaders. Not to mention I would think that the GM would need to have a very stern handle on the plot tiller to get this thing to work in any way to avoid massive arguments or inter party conflicts.

But I would the be the first to sign up to take part of the experiment.

Thanks for that guys, very informative and I will take all your points on board. What I come up with wont be up and running for a month or so. I will either go with what I had in mind for the Ascension group, and what I had planed for the Black Crusade group run as two separate games, or two opposing groups in the same game but using a common rule set.

Any further thoughts or advice would be very welcome,

Thanks alphapred

Tell us when you are ready to give it a go.

Would anyone be interested in a DH game? Details pertaining rank, etc are all debatable.
