Lots of Inquisitors create their own "armies" of individuals. Felroth Gelt from the DH universe has the Black Legion or Black something that are his military arm. You could simply make them a military spec-ops group of IG that are formed under a single Inquisitor. Not sure if that would mess with your plan... I'm not a big fan of the Ordos separation myself.

Use an independent Inquisitor with a ship who runs around blowing things up. Not all Inquisitors are part of an Ordos.

Thanks for that, never thought of it that way, but I want to set it up as a game people will use, also I think I will run a Free-Form version of this in a few days, Rmail me if you want to join, Any regiment, any background, all Imperial Guard.

@ msg 20: I think on that point we will have to agree to disagree.  I'm sure we could both example each other into the ground on our points.

we shouldn't pollut this thread with are arguing, therefore I'm right, J/K. well I hope I can get some more feedback on this idea, I hope to run this with a system, and maybe just maybe I can get enough money to buy DH, also I would like having you for the Free-Form Alhpa stage rp.

Alright, I've been thinking about the whole refurbishing the Dark Heresy system for other projects, and I do have one in mind. For the most part the system fits, and already has a fairly well done set of items that can be used in the game and mechanics. There is only one problem: the leveling system.

The system is nowhere near as confined as the 40K world skill wise, where they would be more open to a larger variety of skills. There would likely be some restrictions on backgrounds and the like, though I was just wondering if someone else have worked something out in there? Basic traits and such would be 100 xp each, and double appropriately. Some of the talents are definately worth 500 like Bulging Biceps and Lightning attack, but there's a whole lot of gray area in there. Thoughts?

There is a good open-system on Dark Reign. I am using it as a basis for my Fallout hack. It doesn't take into account special abilities from Elite careers and such but goes a long way towards giving you guidelines for assigning points.

Here it is...

Ah thank you kindly Kilgs. You're a Godsend.

In reply to Smokin_Joe (msg #29):

no you are, but really If I won't use this, I am sure going to use it as a basis for a custom system of my own, oh what do you think of Free-Form because I'm holding a alpha version of my homebrew. and when I opened that link, this happened http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...ayer_detailpage#t=8s EDIT: FINALLY, ok I've been working tirelessly on classes for each regimental type, and I've had a break through, Death Troopers Alpha Free-Form will launch on Saturday or on 15/1/11. Allways looking for anyone who wants to join my Free-Form, I am filling Regiments sheets for EVERY regiment, you name it, I have it.

How to make the Vostroy and the Praetorians co-operate.  Tell them the tea and biscuits are on the other side of the orc horde ^^

Ordo Cerberus takes up the duties of the three lead Ordos by facing the threat within(Ordo Hereticus),without(Ordo Xenos), and beyond(Ordo Malleus). Its military arm is the Death Troopers(name of RP it is a working title), Imperial Guard Stormtroopers, Elite veterans of over a dozen campaigns. Finest of the Imperial Guard, drawn from many worlds like the Death World a Catachan and The Fortress World Of Cadia. A good team, with strong will, and enough bravery (or stupidity) to face any danger at the call of the Inquisition to serve is the most valuable to an Inquisitor of Ordo Cerberus. The best of the best of the best of Stormtroopers of a regiment are only allowed to join there ranks and they face all types of heresy and alien. They are very versatile because there missions range from fighting a Traitor legion to assaulting an Alien bastion or Hunting down a Genestealer Cult. You are a part of there ranks, whatever regiment you once were a part of, remember them, for that is the reason you are here. What skills you have learned over the years has been leading up to this moment in time, when you show the strength of mortal men. Alright Death Troopers is doing a kinda Alpha stage free-form game and I'm looking for players I have one so far but I would really like to have more, Any Regiment, Any Role, All Guard. If you want to know more go here -----> link to another game EDIT: We have two players, allways have room join now one day left.

Here's my home brew idea something that my old RP group did for years before deathwatch came out. On the Dark reign site there was a fan made supplement to play Space marines for Dark heresy and it ran them through neophyte all the way up to rank 8 Veteran. What I am doing is melding that supplement with the benefits from the deathwatch book.

Currently running it as a 1 player game as I had to remove a player for lack of posting. I find that it adds some interesting roleplaying due to the fact you are starting as a 10 year old child (arbitrary decision on my part) who gets scooped up and given the chance to become a marine. I'm starting my player out on their blood trial, if they survive it they become a neophyte and can spend their 400xp. I know in the long run using both books will make super powered marines as you can literally get +40% to all stats (albeit it will cost an arm and a leg) but that just means I can throw the really nice stuff at my player.

The only other arbitrary rule I use is that I do not roll for the chance of the geneseed not taking. Don't think it's fair to the player to get pooched by the dice and be killed or made into a serf. The other concept I am trying is the idea of personal requisition. It's the concept that over time, a player will accrue it gradually. 1 point here, 2 points there. They can keep banking it until they have enough to afford the item. Works like signature wargear but I would balance it by never handing more then 2 points at a time meaning if a player wanted something really nice it will take a long time to get it.

/wall of text done.

Thoughts?ideas?suggestions?criticisms?

Sounds like a great idea.  I always liked the idea of "total background progression"=:)  Let us kmnow how you make out.

One idea I have had (and am much too lazy to do) is to adadpt the DH rules to the Resistance franchise.  The Resistance games are awesome and I think most of the gear, weapons and whatnot would be very easy to rename and use pretty much as is.  Some of the DH classes could easily be modded into Resistance type PCs (guardsman could be armed forces, scum scavengers, tech priests would need some work but could be engineers/scientists etc.).  Much too lazy to do it but the idea has been floating around in my head for some time now...

In reply to Brimflame69 (msg #37):

A great idea man, reminds of somthing I did with the group who has now shunned me. They didn't like my Death Troopers RP Hombrew at all, so much that they have kicked me out for posting it on this site, But anyways your RP sounds great, I would love to join sounds like somthing I would get into. The RP I did with my friends was Free-Form, it started when you get scout armor. Out of five only one guy didn't die, Tanks, Aircraft, Monsters, Holy god amount of traitor guard, was all the causes of death. the guy who made it though, he became Captain of the 3rd Company of Imperial Fists. Then the 13th Black Crusade happened, and we haven't continued since then

Hey everyone I have another Homebrew and I'm seeking players, please take a look if you are interested. ---->link to another game

Yeah so my game died on me, mostly my fault due to not being prepared and not meshing the systems together. Going to take some time and do a reboot.
