--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 20:55, 17 May 2007 (MST) I'm in favor of having a second game running.  Seems like Matt will be our second GM, unless there are others interested? not me for now.  I would propose that matt comes up with whatever idea he finds interesting and propose it in prelim form as he has here and we all say intereseted or not.  That said, here's my 2 cents. There are two strikes against this game in my opinion: 1) running two space games at once 2) DiVT.  Both of these are no problem if the game is limited to, say 3-12 sessions.  I'd worry about them if the game is designed to run for a year.  Matt stated that he envisions a shorter game a la Jin style; I'd like to have a feel for the estimated number of sessions (is it 3 to 6, 5 to 10, 15 to 30, that kind of general range).
  
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 17:15, 17 January 2007 (MST)sigh..... the game is called 'SPACE MARINES of the 41st Millenium', not 'SODOMITES of the 41st Millenium'.  I suppose if anal sex was a major feature, then the group would probably be more interested....
 
  
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 17:34, 17 January 2007 (MST) Ben might be more a scholar on this topic, but wasn't homosexuality common in classical armies? now imagine 50 men in space amped up on testosterone drugs
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 22:10, 17 May 2007 (MST)Too early to say; but you're right that DitV isn't built for a long-haul campaign and I wouldn't want to try it for one. I'd say 6-12 sessions off the top of my head.  The game wouldn't have anything to do with space, it's just a sci-fi milieu.
  
--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 17:57, 17 January 2007 (MST)Yeah I think Ill go ahead and sit this one out, thanks
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 22:30, 17 May 2007 (MST) down wit that.  I mean, "I'm down with that" not "DOWN with THAT!"
  
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 18:32, 17 January 2007 (MST)Yeah right, Jason's just declaring his disinterest for tax purposes
+
Ben here: I'm in if I can play a terminator-librarian-inquisitor-grey knight-callidus-Chapter-master.  I'll just take that as a trait at 5d10.  <br>
 +
but seriously folks, I think that this game setup is well suited to Dogs in the vineyard of war, much better than it was suited to WHFRP.
  
--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 18:38, 17 January 2007 (MST)They actually tax gay space marines? Whats the world coming to (or IN)?
+
--[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]]-- I'd be willing to try it, but if the rule system doesn't sit well with me I might just sit this one out. Personally I met with a lot of success when I ran my Hive World gang rp in the Hero system, so I would be totally down for doing it in hero although there are no rules really for large scale combats.  I don’t mind two space RPs, and wouldn’t mind a more military themed RP.  Actually I think it would be fun.
  
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 19:33, 17 January 2007 (MST) oh god.   liar, you said you were sitting this one out.
+
--[[User:12.110.83.162|12.110.83.162]] 16:38, 18 May 2007 (MST)I think if we run a few sessions with the rules, they'll get more comfortableIt will be an adjustment though.

--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 21:28, 17 January 2007 (MST)Is there a world record for number of game idea discussions in a row soured by tone-deaf homosexuality jokes?  And do they give out trophies for that shit?  Cause I could do with a trophy.
+
 
+
--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 21:37, 17 January 2007 (MST)How does one determine if a joke is tone deaf?  If you can educate me on that, I might have a trophy with someone elses name on it for you...

--[[User:Jason|Jason]] 16:48, 18 January 2007 (MST)Have you considered using Rogue Trader instead?  Its basically a roleplaying game in many aspects.
+
 
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 17:36, 18 January 2007 (MST)I've never actually read the book; I'll have to borrow it.

--[[User:BenofZongo|BenofZongo]] 19:21, 18 January 2007 (MST)Although I never played it, I haven't heard terrible good things about rogue trader as a game (mostly that it is tremendously complex).  Isn't green ronin coming out with a WH40K game sometime this year anyways?
+
 
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 19:34, 18 January 2007 (MST)They are, but it's going to be about inquisitors and shit.  The Space Marine game won't be out for another few years.
+
 
+
--[[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] 00:00, 9 February 2007 (MST) So I'm guessing that the group's objective would be to survive?  maybe secondary to get a ship and leave?  and possibly to start a new chapter of the astral claws?  Would the players get to hash out what their objectives were at the start of the campaign?
+
 
+
--[[User:Matts|Matts]] 09:57, 9 February 2007 (MST)Yes.  The group's primary objective would be to survive, to get the hell off the planet they're onThere's no guarantee that objective couldn't change over gameplay, but that'd be significant motivation to start with.
+
 
+
Some players, at their option, might have the ultimate ambition of clearing the Astral Claws of the smudge on their name.  But that's not neccesary.

--Edmiao 20:55, 17 May 2007 (MST) I'm in favor of having a second game running. Seems like Matt will be our second GM, unless there are others interested? not me for now. I would propose that matt comes up with whatever idea he finds interesting and propose it in prelim form as he has here and we all say intereseted or not. That said, here's my 2 cents. There are two strikes against this game in my opinion: 1) running two space games at once 2) DiVT. Both of these are no problem if the game is limited to, say 3-12 sessions. I'd worry about them if the game is designed to run for a year. Matt stated that he envisions a shorter game a la Jin style; I'd like to have a feel for the estimated number of sessions (is it 3 to 6, 5 to 10, 15 to 30, that kind of general range).


--Matts 22:10, 17 May 2007 (MST)Too early to say; but you're right that DitV isn't built for a long-haul campaign and I wouldn't want to try it for one. I'd say 6-12 sessions off the top of my head. The game wouldn't have anything to do with space, it's just a sci-fi milieu.

--Edmiao 22:30, 17 May 2007 (MST) down wit that. I mean, "I'm down with that" not "DOWN with THAT!"

Ben here: I'm in if I can play a terminator-librarian-inquisitor-grey knight-callidus-Chapter-master. I'll just take that as a trait at 5d10.
but seriously folks, I think that this game setup is well suited to Dogs in the vineyard of war, much better than it was suited to WHFRP.

--Gdaze-- I'd be willing to try it, but if the rule system doesn't sit well with me I might just sit this one out.
