I'm either going to be running short adventures at KW here or offsite - most likely here. I'd like to have players familiar with the 40k setting, and only a handful of players - three or four. The setting will call for humans only, as the rules do not allow for Eldar, Tau, Ork, etc as yet. I expect the first adventure to start in a month.

Montresor has already shown interest.

Sorry, no Space Marines. The rules don't allow for anything higher than Guardsmen, techpriests, psykers, etc. Space Marines are just too ultra powerful.

hmmmm what character to play....

Washed out failed Commissar would be pretty cool. A crooked Adeptus Arbites investigator could be cool too.

gah so many choices!

In the meantime, checkout the Calixis Sector where the campaign will be set

Good news, there is an Arbitrator class, who are members of the Adeptus Arbites. As for limitations, I guess I don't want more than four players, because otherwise I won't be able to put the effort into fine storytelling. Second, I can't allow for Space Marines, Chaos Cultists, Eldar, Tau, etc, as they are too powerful and conflict with the idea of the player characters being members of the Inquisition. On that note, third; there has to be a reason why the characters have joined the Inquisition. More on the latter part another time.

Pretty easy for an Arbitrator, as they are detectives who have been assigned to Inquisition teams :P

works for me.

I couldn't really commit to posting more than about once a week or a fortnight, so it's best that I don't sign up. Having been unwell for the last few months, on and off, and having fallen behind on my research, I just don't have much time for a forum RPG. The rules and the game look great, however.

My apologies, but I'll have to opt out.

Okay, sorry for the delay. I still intend to run the game - I've been ill and still reading the rules. I expect to have the first character-creation threads up within a few days.

The first adventure will follow a week or so after that.
