Dark Heresy: Thinking Ahead

[Aaron]

So, thinking ahead to the end of the current Illumination campaign, I'm considering some different options. If anyone is interested in continuing:

1. Same party. Moving to a different assignment
2. An armour themed game, probably a recce troop
3. Starting a series with an overall arch, same party/new party

Thoughts, comments, questions, concerns?

I like options 1 and 3, and keeping the same party. Option 2 could be fun as well but my preference would be keeping the same party.

[Aaron]

Now with poll.

[Deepcrush]

Can we get a little more detail for this?

[Aaron]

Option 1 is what we're doing now, a mission but it's standalone with no connection to anything.

Option 2 is a troop of four vehicles engaged in a planetary campaign against *insert enemy*. I was thinking a recce troop (3 x Salamander, 1 x Trojan/Chimera) scouting out an Ork landing or maybe Nids. This would pretty much limit us to Guardsmen and Techpriests, maybe a Cleric if the Regiment is particularly devout. Could be anywhere in the IoM, basically we use the DH system to ride around in AFV's, kill things and break shit.

Option 3 is what where doing now but part of an overall plot, like xenos infiltration on different worlds that leads up to something.

Edit: If there's sufficient interests in Option 2 to run it in addition, then that could happen as well.

I like option three. Two is very tempting but I like the idea of playing our characters out long enough to really beef them out.

[Mikey]

Option 3 for me as well. Continuing a story arc only adds to char development.

So far its a clean sweep.

I like my character, I want to see how she can go. And I like the team. Keep it rolling till we all die I say.

[Tsukiyumi]

...Keep it rolling till we all die I say.

Pahr's going to die from old age on a beach somewhere.

[Deepcrush]

Or so he likes to tell himself.

[Lighthawk]

...Keep it rolling till we all die I say.

Pahr's going to die from old age on a beach somewhere.

See, that's the kind of smugness that some GMs would take as an excuse to kill your character.

[Deepcrush]

Yeah... the GM...

[Tsukiyumi]

See, that's the kind of smugness that some GMs would take as an excuse to kill your character.

That would be if they didn't know me and my penchant for sarcasm.

I'll go with option 3. I like the idea of an over-arching plot.
