Hi folks, I'm not exactly a resident here, but I've been asked to swing by and share some of my group's stories with you folks.
Unfortunately, I don't have the gumption to do an entire piece-by-piece reposting of an entire chapter, so you'll have to settle for a few caps.
Oh, and I am new to your board, so I apologize if I run afoul of any customs or such.
Anyhow, here's the latest chapter of The Adventures of the All Guardsmen Party.

If you'd like to see the whole series (or not read from image files) it's available in mobile-friendly HTML here: https://09cd64678bddc0198cca7fef0df8ce7b359fff2d.googledrive.com/host/0B3Z9sXPTD9rpN2owNGdVWmdFWXM/agp.html

Shoggy I been following the story pretty adamantly since around May. I generally check once a month in the archives to see if there is any new chapters out.
I play Dark Heresy myself and only wish my campaign could be at least 1/10th as interesting and fun as yours seem to be. As the group is relatively new I feel that is a main factor for if I remember correctly yours has been together for years.
Anyways I appreciate you posting it over here and you are welcome to hang out here. It is slower than halfchan but I feel the quality is better with less cancer and more talk about stuff that normally gets pushed off on 4chan.

I'd like to turn it into a book someday too, we'll see how that works out AFTER I finish telling it online though. Don't want to risk cutting things off before they're properly finished.
None of us were ever in the military (though we've got 2 ww2 re-enactment paintballers who claim that they come close) We do have a fair number of friends who have served though, and we try to base dialogue off what I've heard from them.

Our group is rather odd to say the least, our DM tends to let us control friendly NPCs if he feels we have a good handle on them and doesn't have anything in mind. Usually this just saves him time in combat, but it also leads to some characters becoming half NPC and half PC. Fumbles is largely controlled by Nubby and Aimy is pretty much Doc's second character at this point.

Actually we've started grabbing stuff from Ascension already. Most notably, Sarge's player grabbed Heroic Leadership mid session.
Anyway, there are no plans to use the Guardsmen again if we do another major campaign, except possibly as guest NPCs. We like the characters too much to risk getting them killed, and it's nice when things have a real, clean ending.

That diplomatic adept sounded cool from this chapter. It looks like he took security and tech use on top of his diplomatic and possibly some sleight of hand stuff sneaking the bugs onto people. I tried to make my current 2E character sort of like that but they sort of screwed up that there is no real social background to take that has social aptitude along with charm skill learned except for Ministorum. I hope they add some diplomat/merchant background in the coming expansions so you don't have to be a priest background to make a decent talker character.
As I believe you guys are playing 1E dark heresy the character wouldn't translate too well over 2E but I would love to see the stats on that guy.

Hmmm, I'll see if our DM still has his sheets laying around, but he's one of the few characters controlled entirely by the DM, so there's a very real chance that his stats are "whatever the plot needs them to be".
I believe he was based off the Bonded Emissary path from the Inquisitor's handbook with the Noble Born background (and we also have a Xeno-Arcanist). Oh and I know translation is a pain, but consider looking at the RT backgrounds and such designed for Seneschals, because it sounds like you want to play an Inquisitorial version of one.

Not really, it's sort of hard to explain. The guy compulsively sits there and maps out all the ways he thinks we might solve a problem (pic's a REALLY simplified example he made for someone who asked him for DM advice), and does his best to encourage us towards one of those paths, but will accommodate us if we decide to go off the rails so long as we've got a good IC reason (He nearly cried when we bailed on this big space-station searching mission to try and steal and Eldar shuttle, just threw out 10 pages of notes and announced a 15 minute break while he looked up Eldar spaceship references).
That said though, he'll try to nudge us back onto his paths, keeps detailed notes on what's happening while we fuck around and how it'll catch up with us, and will occasionally twist the universe (within reasonable limits) to ensure that enough action happens in a session. Oh and he tends to skip a lot of NPC rolls outside of combat, he says that randomness should come from the players.
Not sure that makes sense, but it all works out in the end, trust me.
>>189029
I don't THINK that was him railroading there. He likes to put time-limit to enemy reinforcement fights in, and we wound up dragging our feet in that fight. Also, I think he would've found it hilarious if we'd just ditched our boss and then had to go back and rescue him or whatever, so it's unlikely that he forces us not to do that.

I'm thinking of doing an Only War campaign based roughly around these events. Basically the premise being that there's a group of guardsmen acting as the go-to striketeam for the Occurrence Boarder, and have to defend the ship from the horrible problems it has on its own, from outside boarders and pirates, and from the resident Inquisition pencilpushers who have a habit of pissing off local populaces, or otherwise getting into trouble that makes them have to hold down the fort.
I'm hoping it'll be interesting enough. I'll probably use a bigger ship than the Occurrence, maybe add some crazy types of climates and landscapes inside much like the hydrophonics section, but bigger and randomly placed. Kind of pulling this strip's vibe, specifically.
Fingers crossed it don't end horrible.

Yo, Shoggy, all the shit that happens on the Occurrence Border such as the warp fungus the Space Marines landed in, is that stuff that you guys had actually done stuff with in like ealier sessions, or is it something the GM had just come up with that he fluffed you guys into knowing about?
No.200266
>>200262
The GM keeps our during-transit adventures sort of vague so he can retroactively add stuff in.
In the case of the Warp Fungus, what happened is that we made a Knowledge:This Shitty Ship check, passed, then played a really short flashback sequence that was pretty much just a choose-your-own-adventure thing instead of real RP. It was fun.

Maybe. But the All Guardsman party gets sent after a magguffin at the same time the All Traitor Party . One has to deal with getting spirited away by the Inquisition Well more then they have been and the other gets elected to participate in some Heretek experiments.
But they'd probably just sit around talking about how everything is shit and everyone is incompetent then toss up the magguffin to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Also I love the evil Doppelganger trope.

Sorry about the late reply, I sort of have to take a break from AGP stuff during family holidays, otherwise I spend the whole time stressing about falling behind.
Sarge is pushing 50
Doc is in his early 20s, his girlfriend has a year or two on him
Aimy is in her late 20s, as is Tink.
Twitch is 30ish, but looks older
Nubby has been giving his age as “probably 34” for years now.
Fumbles is somewhere between 17 and 21, depending on which of the ID's Nubby made for him you check, but looks even younger.
Heavy and Cutter were in their early 30s, and Crisp was 50 or 60
No one ever bothered to ask how old Fio is, and Spot 2.0 is only a few months old, a veritable drone-puppy.
Jim and Hannah are both barely under 20 (they may have passed that during the stories though), and Ol' Bill is something like 130, but the nature of time is rather odd on the Occurrence Border, so it's hard to be sure.
