Lizzie has run an incredibly successful and popular multiplayer quest; so in light of that I am going to attempt one of these myself. The settings and rules will be listed below.
Setting:
The story will be set in the Lovehammer 40k universe, most likely on the planet of Glore IV. The actions of this group will have an effect on the main Lovehammer story.
Each player will have their own personal goals and missions, in addition to the party’s objectives. This will likely lead to tensions in the squad as conflicting desires clash. These will be assigned to you after you have created your character.
Rules:
1.There will be four characters.
2.Whenever a character is made to climax in a fight they will be incapacitated until another team member can rescue them.
3.Player characters CAN be dragged away like Sarge was. This means they can be lost. If this happens the quest will continue sans one of their party.
4.There may be opportunities to gain new party members. At which point a new slot will become available for anyone who wants to join. Preference will be given to those who haven’t had a turn yet.
5.Each player will independently control their own character’s actions and speech. I will only suggest possible actions if Anons have trouble coming up with their own ideas.
6.If a player disappears their character will be turned over to the masses with Strawpoll options.
7.Actions can also be taken by emailing onyxdime@gmail.com This is useful if you want to do something without your party knowing. e.g. stealing or plotting.
How to apply:
1. Email onyxdime@gmail.com with a request to join.
2. Include a name, race, profession, and description of your character’s background. (200 words max.) (No need to explain why them came to Glore IV. That will become clear when the story begins.)
3. You are free to create characters from the codexes of the Sisters of Battle, Eldar, and Astra Militarum. They can be either male or female, and any profession you wish.*
4. I will speak with you via email to offer you some choices for your characters gear and abilities. This ensures some degree of balance no matter who you pick.
5. If you are looking for inspiration for your characters check out the Astra Militarum, Eldar, and Sister of Battle codexes here: http://wh40klib.ru/codex/Actually_codex_and_rule/ (It can take a while to load. Be patient.)
6. I will read through the character profiles sent to me and pick the four best ones. These will then be the characters that make it into the story.
*Note that if you pick a really powerful Eldar Farseer they won’t get very good equipment and will come with a LOT of other weaknesses. However, if you were to pick a regular guardsman, you would have a LOT of good equipment and toys to start with, even though you would be less well trained and experienced.
