Game Information, Request to Join, and House Rules

Setting

This game is set in the Periphery, now known as the Severan Dominate. This game is set prior to the 13th Crusade, before the formation of the Great Rift or the return of the Lord Commander of the Imperium.

Tone & Intent

We will be using a Mature tone. Violence, sexuality, and other mature things are welcome here. Players are encouraged to follow their characters' instincts.
Adult stuff will be depicted in a sort of 'drawing the curtain' way. As it becomes obvious which way things are trending, there will be a textual fade-to-black, followed by the next non-adult event in the scene.

EXAMPLE

Miacra the Militant completed the thirtieth step of stripping her bolter and sighed. She gently placed her tool down on the arms table, wiped her hands of grease, and pressed her face into them.

The soft footfalls of Doaba were faintly audible in the doorway.

"Are you well, miss? I have some recaf for you."

Despite her strain, Miacra smiled. "The real stuff, or the recycled goo that our galleys produce?"

"Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to, miss."

Miacra reached towards the mug. Rather than taking it immediately, she let her calloused hand rest on his mechanical one. "Good. Then here is one I do want the answer to. If this was your last night alive, how would you want to spend it?"

Doaba breathed in deeply and exhaled, luxuriating in her touch. He reached up and gently touched the stubble of her shaved head. "Any way at all, as long as it was with you. Even if it's just helping you clean your guns again."

Miacra laughed. "You won't be touching my guns, after the mess you made last time! But..." she said coyly, "I have some other ideas about things you might touch."

She rose to her feet and pressed her armoured cuirass against his cybernetic torso. He leaned his head beside her ear. Before planting a kiss on her neck, he whispered in her ear.

"Do I have your consent?"

"Enthusiastic consent," she murmured warmly.

The next morning...

Statement of Shared Humanity

In this game, we intend to include all Races, genders, orientations, Creeds, and everything else you have with equal respect.
There may be characters who are racist, homophobic, sexist, Etc. However, this game will not directly allow them to speak in such a way.

EXAMPLE
The Dark Eldar mercenary made an obscene and threatening gesture that made it clear he was planning on torturous violence.

This game makes use of the X card. If it anytime a player feels uncomfortable with the subject matter or the manner in which it is depicted, they need only in for me, either in public or in private, and I will correct the matter.

I am certain that the players will join this game do not intend to be hurtful to others. If you do say something accidentally, we will offer non-judgmental correction so that we can all move forward and have fun together.

Request to Join

Combat Posting

In order to keep a play-by-post game moving along at a good clip, there are a few policies I like everyone to follow.

First, as combat begins I will ask for your initiative roll and first action. This means I want you to include, in your next post, include your initiative roll and the first action you take in the current combat.

After your description of what you are doing in the post, please include an Out-of-Character part. Please put your OoC sections in Orange at the end of the post. Please include, in approximately this order:

Your Actions, as named on pg 237 of the Rogue Trader book, in Chapter XI: Playing the Game.
Your rolls, as required by your actions.

After your rolls, please indicate whether your check succeeds and what degree of success you achieved.

EXAMPLE!

Sergeant Incendis and Battle-Brother Mephis are watching a horde of orks approach. They wait until the orks are within bolter range, then raise their weapons. Aiming down the sight, Incendis lights on a particularly ugly specimen. He squeezes the trigger, Mephis firing right along with him.

Aim for +10
Semi-auto burst
Incendis rolled 40 -- 1 degree of success using the Deathwatch system with a target number of 46.  Bolter.
Incendis rolled 8 using 1d10+3 Bolter damage.


If on the enemy's turn they hit you with an attack, roll your parry or dodge on your own turn. If you successfully parry or dodge, include that message and a description in your next combat post.
