Since it came up, I'm considering running a campaign where the players are the crew of a tank. Assuming scheduling can be managed with sufficiently many players, it will most likely be run in IRC.

As for the system, right now I'm considering only war( ), but I'm open to suggestions if anyone can name a system that would be good for this sort of thing.

Re: Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!

Alright, three people is enough for a tank crew. Since no-one has brought up anything different, I assume we'll proceed with Only War: start familiarizing yourselves with the rules as needed. Due to Shadow's game being a bit uncertain for now I won't settle down on the schedule just yet, but that's something you should give consideration to. Also under consideration: What kind of regiment you want to be proud members of, and what kind of characters you want to play. A tank has at least a gunner, a driver and a commander, so that's something to think about.

I vote we be part of the 266th Cadian Shock Trooper Regiment.

Also calling dibs on gunner.

I'll post this here, as well as in the other thread. I'm going to go with the Saturday 1000-1400 time.

Re: Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!

I am fine with whatever, though I'm not as well-versed as on 40k as you all might be. I'm privvy to a Sunday timeslot, since those are the days I usually just come home from church and time with my parents to just relax at the house. Early afternoon slots for Saturday are also fine.

Evenings are hard to do since I usually spend time with my nieces or do work.

I do hope someone else joins in. I'd like to assume the role of a loader.

I'd prefer gunner myself, but in lieu of that, I'd go for commander.

Re: Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!

So since there appear to be no scheduling conflicts, Sunday 1800 GMT work for everyone? I was thinking we'd have session zero where everyone gets their characters more or less finished and we figure out what the regiment is like beyond just the mechanics.

Here's what I have on the regiment so far:

Regiment name: Scintillan 31st armor
Homeworld: Hive world 3 points
+3 to fellowship and perception; common lore(imperium), Deceive, Linguistics(low gothic); accustomed to crowds; hivebound; urban violence; -1 starting wound
Commanding officer: Maverick 2 points
Resistance(fear)
Regiment type: Armoured Regiment 4 points
-3 WS, +3 intelligence; Operate(surface); technical Knock; Leman Russ(several variants in use, which one the PCs get TBD), anointed maintenance toolkit(per PC)
Special equipment doctrine: Scavengers 3 points
Total: 12 points

Regimental standard kit (10/30 left)
Uniform
Set of poor weather gear
Bullpup lasgun + 2 chargepacks(main weapon) 5 points
Knife
Flak vest
Rucksack
Set of basic tools
Messkit and water canteen
Blanket and sleeping bag
Lamp pack
Grooming kit
Dog tags
Guardsman's instructional primer
Two weeks worth of combat rations
Hot-shot laspistol

Favoured weapons?

Re: Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!

There might be some times where I might not make it. But most of the time I should be able to make it. I'll let you know.

EDIT: This Sunday is a no-go for me. Since that's the day I graduate.

Since no one's taken driver yet I'll see if I can whip one up. Probably going a fair bit into the mechanic bit as well.

Since it came up with Aurani, here's a nice blank google docs character sheet:

Let me know if anyone finds something better.

Also I did take driver, Aurani. But if you're joining, I guess I can just fall back to my want to play a loader, then. That's fine.

Character creation will proceed normally, but if the rolled total is under 80 you can reroll, and if the total is under 100, you can swap any two stats.

Docs link for logs:
I almost certainly won't be editing the logs for things like readability or adding comments. If someone else does, I can give you edit access. If anyone wants to make actual IC diary/log/whatever, I can give bonus XP for that.

And on that note, everyone will be receiving 150 XP for the first session.

It would seem as if I'll not be here this weekend as I'm going to a friend's barfday party, so there'll be no Ork slaying on my part.
