Blackmore's Night is excellent for establishing that fantasy feel

Darkest Dungeon has a good ambient OST as well.

I keep posting OSTs, but...

You're welcome

I'm assuming you already know about Mantic's undead?

There are no good generic skeleton miniatures that also have fancy armor on them. They're all either naked skeletons or have basic armor.

>>44720684
Unless you count single miniatures.
Though GW's Graveguard would qualify if OP wasn't oppossed to it.

>>44719928
Read up the character creation stuff first, look over the classes, see what you like.

It's probably easier to go in to the first session not reading it since it sounds like he'll run you through an introduction, but read it after if you have time.

>>44719928
Read the chapter on general combat and how skills work. There's cover rules and stuff you should learn

I bet your dm makes up a bunch of rules though

read over the basic rules and character creation. Its really simple so I think your dm will create his own rules

Be sure to announce it in the general!

H

the Seinfeld theme?

>>44719757

That's a bit common, isn't it? Also a bit modern. IT's a fantasy campaign so something a little less up-to-date would probably be better.

Thanks for offering some help, though.

Fuck backgrounds and concept, it's personality that matters.

Fuck background and personality, it's concepts that matters.

>>44719512
Personality tends to be based off of these things and play into them, so I'd say they all matter.

After a somewhat uncomfortable meeting, Caiden and Saul would be given their first mission. It was essentially an off-the-record milk run. A fairly eccentric Rogue Trader only ever referred to as the “Iron Duke” within our hearing had called in a long-standing favor from the local Inquisitorial forces. His son’s pet alien had escaped into the Lower Hive of one of the main Hive Cities of Maniah I. The world was fairly typical as Hive Worlds go with the only major feature being the fortress monastery of an Imperial Fist successor chapter: The Iron Authority. Deathwatch newbies were being called in to handle it because it was a fairly simple way to break them into xeno-hunting, and because the Iron Duke had no favors to call in from the local astartes forces.

The two marines took some time to gear up for the hunting mission. Caiden grabbed manacles, teleport beacons, heavy duty tranquilizers, and Saul got a melta bomb and thunder hammer. This would be a fairly typical occurrence. After gearing up, the two boarded their shuttle and made their way into orbit over Maniah I in order to meet up with the Rogue Trader’s crew for a pre-mission briefing. Upon arrival, they were met by Deacon Cornelia Ostrum. While neither really knew her very well, she was the on-again off-again missionary for the Iron Duke who had been largely responsible for spreading the Imperial Cult into the Heathen Stars. She was accompanied by her traditional escort of six members of her Faith Squad armed with heavy flamers.

Still there OP?

After exchanging pleasantries, in which Caiden complemented the guards on their choice of weapon, Ostrum began explaining to the Astartes what they would be hunting. It was all fairly routine in the beginning: Alien pet of a Rogue Trader had escaped, it needed to be hunted down and brought back ALIVE, and it was an Ork named Frederick.

“Excuse me, could you repeat that last part?” Caiden asked. “His name is Frederick,” replied Ostrum. He’s an Ork the young master “tamed” some time ago. He’ll be armed with a laspistol but likely nothing else.” There was a long silence before Caiden just sighed and picked up his gear. “We’ll get it done then.”

Armed with knowledge of just what they would be trying to capture, and grumbling the whole way, Caiden and Saul made their way to the Lower Hive’s entrance. It was at this point that a third marine joined their team. Enter Tantalus: The Steel Confessor Techmarine. Rather than take a shuttle down, he decided that the most efficient way would be to lock onto their location and drop pod in on top of them. The two had just enough time to get to cover before the drop pod slammed down next to them. As Tantalus stepped out from the drop pod now lodged in the hive, Caiden and Saul got their first look at him. At first glance Tantalus wasn’t really different from an “average” techmarine. Well-cared for armor, far too many metal bits protruding from his body, and an abundance of sensors and gadgets that probably did not strictly need to be on his armor. No, the real oddity was Tantalus’ armor: It was composed of a mark V base, mark IV gauntlets, mark VI greaves, and an honest-to-Emperor mark II helmet dating back to the Great Crusade. No one had any idea where he had gotten the thing, and Tantalus just muttered something about the “Sacred Mysteries of the Omnissiah” whenever he was pressed on it.

I really hope that's fake.

Lack of empathy is one of the signs of a serial killer dude.

Ask yourself questions and answer them AS. YOUR. CHARACTER.

>Is it good?
Yes.

>Is it bad?
Yes.

>Is it only for baseline D&D,
No.

>do I have to write my own rules,
No.

>or can I just know the rules myself and use it as a board and dice for the rolls they need to make?
Yes.

>>44717178
>'Yes,' on both good and bad.
Care to elaborate on those? Is it just a case of, "there's some good and bad things about it," or is it just a case of people liking or disliking it based on personal opinion? If it's the former, what's good and bad about it?

It's good to know that I can just know the rules I want to use and use it as a board and dice. Is it harder to use it that way?

>>44717387
It's good because it's the single most convenient way to have a dice rolling engine, a whiteboard, and a miniatures grid all in the same place.

I don't know why somebody would say it's bad.

It doesn't have any rules built into the system, so I don't understand what you're asking. "Knowing the rules and just using it as a board and dice" is literally all the application is designed to do. It doesn't have any rules built in at all. You can roll whatever dice you want, use whatever miniatures you want, and play any game you want.

Don't get too hung up on the particulars, odds are if your Keeper isn't any more of a German from that time period than you are, even if they are German. As far as I am concerned, time periods from before we are born might as well be different worlds.

Sure, we can read about it, but will we have enough of it internalized to roleplay? No sense worrying about the answer.

If you must, start here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920_in_Germany

>>44716335

As you say, German in the post-WW1 period was in the shitter economically. Think Great Depression America and you're not far off. This is where the Nazis drew their support group from, people pissed at having their nice lives ruined because THEY got stuck with the bill for some asshole shooting Franz Ferdinand.

Hyperinflation was a huge thing because the government just printed more and more money to pay down its debt, massively devaluing the mark. I have, in my house, a five hundred MILLION deutschmark note that I picked up last time I visited Berlin as a curio, to give you an idea of how Zimbabwe-esque the economy at the time was.

>>44719513
Yeah, but you see this isn't enough. Why depression? How did the Germans feel about their government surrendering in WW1? In the years after the war, how did the Treaty of Versailles effect your average German? Besides the rise of the National Socialists, what other parties came to be? What was the Kapp Putsch? What was the Ruhr Uprising? What was the Ruhr Occupation?

You can't just boil it down to that, say it was pretty much like the American great depression and drop the mic. It makes you look like a damn fool.

Would you be surprised to know that American Bankers and investors DIDN'T jump from their offices during the crash? American High School students in California are taught that myth as fact.

So no, if he wants to do it right he must read. 4chan isn't his fucking Cliff's Notes.
