40k RPG at gaelcon.....

jaggeh

it may or may not happen this year, myself[matt] and edbanger[kev] (new recruit is sandrius[sandra] who is taking the notes as me and kev argue it out)

we are well into the second draught of the rules and if you played last year you may not recognize it.

here are some of the streamlines we are making

Combat system

• less rolling, less dice, less headaches
• More intuitive with lots options

Character stats

• skills and abilities are now co-dependant
• introducing PSYKERS!!
• new armor rules [thickness+coverage]

Character Creation

• chance to be just about anything
• are you lucky enough [luck roll]

there is more but i want to leave some as a surprise.

we wont be releasing this online before gaelcon though im sorry to say as there is just way too much work involved.

Hopefully see you there!

I thought that last year's system worked pretty well and was fairly fluid in its workings.

Granted, my character's attempts to use psychic powers could have been a little better though (I was an Eldar bonesinger) and my sword (which was part of the quest) was a little weak in its attacks, although on paper was an obscenely powerful witchblade.

I look foward to this years

jaggeh

your thinking of a different system totally, which is based on a realease around the date of rogue trader.

last years 2 demo games were run with a 5 man space marine sqout squad and the other game was a group of civilians.....

our system is better

Ah yes ... I was at the 2nd game. Two teams; imperial and eldar

Imperial:

---

Vet. Space Marine Sergeant
Chief Librarian Space Marine
Ecclesiarch Monk (really an assassin)

Eldar:

---

BoneSinger (psyker)
Striking Scorpion Exarch
Alaitoc Ranger

our system is better

OOh arrrrrr .. 'ems figtin' words .. arrrr

jaggeh

yes

yes they are

and IF we actually get enough done to turn out a workable draught then we will be at gaelcon.

kev has told me on good authority that the combat system is done but thats a relative term

Warhammer 40K RPG scheduled for Saturday morning at 11am

Warhammer 40k - Infinity Circuit
Moxie & Oscar Timony Nolan
Kalisha looked up at the roof of her garden, noting the complex conduits of translucent white wraithbone and the inner light they pulsed with. She wondered, not for the first time, what it would be like when she eventually joined the infinity circuit herself. Not for the Eldar the simple, comforting oblivion of death. Ours is a far longer wait, she thought as she glanced at the pedestal encrusted with Waystones

how can put this in a phrase you will understand

hmmm

WE WILL BE RUNNING A DEMO GAME OF OUR OWN RPG SYSTEM USING THE 40K UNIVERSE, IT IS NOT THE SAME CRAP THAT GAELCON RUN EVERY YEAR. IT IS BEING DESIGNED FOR FUTURE PUBLICATION.

:rolleyes:

jaggeh

just a pointer to the old thread where what you are saying was answered a year ago
old thread

Funky

(and if your doing it :x )

Thank you for your constructive reply. 8-)

If you are intending to run this game at Gaelcon, I would request that, if you have not done so already, that you mail our RPG co-ordinator, Gar Hanarahan, at rpgs@gaelcon.com

Many thanks
Colm

jaggeh

didnt do us any good last year.

Jaageh,

Will all due repsect, I find these remarks quite cryptic. If you have an issue with Gaelcon, please feel free to contact me and I will resovle it as best I can. Also, please note that if you do intend to run an event at Gaelcon this year, it is necessary to let the organinsers know in advance of runnnig the event. I'd rather try to help your event be a success rather than sniping crytically on list

Regards
Colm
