Matt: "I could talk like a grizzled old war veteran about the things I've seen in the furry community. I've seen stuff that looks like H.R. Geiger paintings."
Thanks. Rogue Trader's a great setting, but by design it removes you from a lot of the squalor and decay of the Imperium, and it was definitely my aim to keep the grimdark dial firmly cranked. The Second Edition setting, the Askellon Sector, is explicitly themed as an old, crumbling, barely functional relic, which helped a lot. As did my (at the time) recent play-through of Bloodborne.
We also had a very nice spread of personalities and character types, and the players were on-board with the themes and tone in a big way, riding the very careful line that keeps 40k from being a farce while still being satire.
The Novabella sessions are a slightly edited version of Seeds of Heresy, the free RPG day adventure for DH2. I added some Medical intrigue with the heavy metal poisoning because we had a dedicated Chirurgeon, and did the usual GM-fills-in-gaps-in-pregen business. As I mentioned at the conclusion, it's one of the best canned adventures I've ever seen, and I would heartily recommend it to anyone running DH2 for their group.
The Desoleum sessions are a heavily edited version of Desolation of the Dead from the Game Master's Kit. I basically used the hook (body-processing noble dies surrounded by zombies, clutching a weird alien device) and the set-dressing/NPCs provided, and fleshed out the Desoline xenos, which are only mentioned in passing by the book.
The Ossuar sessions are still ongoing, but they're based not off of an adventure, but from one of the provided Story Hooks in the splatbooks. They give you a basic problem, a few possible story beats, and some enemy statblocks if needed. They're all pretty good, and as a bonus, they give you the planets they're based on as Alternate character options - your character can be from Ossuar and get a different bonus than a normal Shrine Worlder.
For the most part, yes. Downtime was handled during sessions (during Warp travel, traveling to the xenos ruins, etc) rather than as sessions of their own due to the planned length of the campaign. I felt that a 6-10 session campaign didn't justify an entire off-episode.
James: "This is where the chaos dunk comes from."Is the crews next bounty going to be a chest full of the finest neo-shekels?
I showed this to a few friends on my phone today and they all asked if there would be anime sequels or if this was going to turn into pOrNE Piece
Just wanted to say that since tone and intent is difficult on the internet I meant to offense or direct comparision to characters and/or players behind them. It was just an amusing image that popped into my head.
Also, who are you on the podcast if I may ask?
Oh believe me, I never saw it as a real insult (except maybe Okuyasu, dude's dumb but still a pretty good guy) hahahah.
And I'm Max, the guy that's not in that much so my relevance is shakey at present, heh.
Are we talking about 7th vs JoJo or Valentin/Declan vs Josuke/Okayasu? Cause I can it being rude to Declan, he's not that dumb
If it's ruder to Declan or Valentin.
Because while Josuke is an interesting fellow, I'm not sure he's the ideal most aspire to even beyond Okuyasu.
