'Hey you
yes you

Ever wanted to play a game in the Warhammer 40k universe, but also wanted to be up for some insane tomfoolery while at it?

Well, now you can!
Want to play as a Space Marine Librarian with anger issues who casts psychic fist? Supplex an Inquisitor? Pilot and/or crash a Rogue Trader's frigate while he cheers on, and while you are fighting off orkz? Maybe even go against the Chaos Gods or the Imperium itself, and come out victorious or in the rubble and blazes of glory?

Well, (depending on how it goes), you can!

...and yet, perhaps, someone schemes behind it all...'

Hello, I’m interested

agile glade
#

And ye two questions

soft imp
#

Yes?

agile glade
#
  1. Your ttrpg'ing experience
    and
  2. Your 40k knowledge, if any.
soft imp
#
  1. I have about a good solid 4 years of playing experience.
    And for 40k
  2. I know a few things, I’m not a major fan, although I have been wanting to get into the lore a lot more.
agile glade
#

O nice

#

So
All seems good

...main problem currently is that you are my 1st player.

#

But I'm sure more will show up.

soft imp
#

All good lol

agile glade
#

So
Meanwhile, anything you want to play as?

soft imp
#

Hmm

#

DA ORKZ

agile glade
#

Sure

#

What sortz tho

soft imp
#

Hmm

#

Yellow boi

agile glade
#

If I remember correctly

#

...might not

#

Was it Evil Sunz?

#

...Basically those who are rich and have a lot of fancy guns.

By ork standards.

soft imp
#

Yes

agile glade
#

Gotcha

#

Whats he like?

And what guns he has?
Or equipment

#

OVA is a p flexible system so
Almost anythin goes

soft imp
#

Uhh hmm

agile glade
#

Like

Jetpack?
Quad shoota?
Quad roket shoota?

#

A robo squig??

soft imp
#

Minigun

#

Funni gun go BRRRRRRRRRR

agile glade
#

Ah yes

#

Heavy weapon ork

soft imp
#

I’m a simple man. With simple needs

agile glade
#

He fears no man
But that...Thing
(Commissar Yarrick)
It scares him

#

...ok dum joke you probs didn't get but
ye sure

#

How many barrels?

soft imp
#

8

agile glade
#

Das a big gun

#

O wait I was imagining 8 sets of 8 barrels

soft imp
#

OMG YES

agile glade
#

But thats p good as well

#

lmao

#

Now thats a lot of dakka

soft imp
#

I just have a suit of armor with Miniguns strapped to it LMAO

agile glade
#

Ah yes
Orky engineering at its finest

soft imp
#

You will find, I can be quite insane and crazy, just like a ork

agile glade
soft imp
#

my character believes he’s immortal/joke

agile glade
#

Also I tried finding a minigun armour
Literaly

But it's all armoured guys holdin miniguns

#

Disapointment

agile glade
#

O and I should probs explain how the system works
Or at least the basic gist of it

soft imp
#

Ight

agile glade
#

So

Basically it's a d6 system

soft imp
#

Oh interesting

agile glade
#

Works by rolling d6s (at base 2d6), picking the highest, or adding any matched ones together (if they are higher than any singular result).

soft imp
#

Ok

agile glade
#

There are Abilities (cool stuff like dakka, speed, strenght, etc) and Weaknesses (bad stuff like impaired senses, arrogance, greed, etc). These either have an impact on the roleplay side of things, or add and subtract dice respectively.

soft imp
#

Oh, makes since

agile glade
#

ye

#

Abilities have 5 levels (usually in the format of the ability and a number with a + after) and each level signifying a level of proficiency or power.

Think +1 being Good but nothing special, +3 being masterful, and +5 being legendary.

Weaknesses are sorta the same, although there are 3 levels for them, those being Mild Nuisance at -1, Hinderance at -2, and Comically Awful at -3.

soft imp
#

Lol

agile glade
#

In a nutshel to have a valid character you have to have the same ammount of Ability Points and Weakness Points.

#

Or as close to that as possible

soft imp
#

Has a -3 in luck

agile glade
#

And those are p much the core mechanics.

agile glade
#

Well lemme just bring the two long lists here

If you want to take a look at all of em

soft imp
#

Wait I just got a dangerous idea

agile glade
#

Do tell

soft imp
#

Explosive ammo.

#
  • minigun
agile glade
#

Bolter minigun

Or more like unstable-explosive-bullet minigun

soft imp
#

Yes.

agile glade
#

Sounds delightful

#

So

That would probs be

Attack (Dakka Minigun & Co.) +4

soft imp
#

Beautiful

agile glade
#

Have I mentioned you can customise attacks?

#

...Basically there are a bunch of Traits you can add to them

#

Er
Want me to just go ahead and post the resumes I made of the rules ere?

soft imp
#

Oh

#

Sure

agile glade
#

aighto one sec

#

I already explained the basic stuff
So
I will just go over combat and then the Ability-Weakness and Trait lists

#

...

Combat

asicly you have 4 things to look at when it comes to combat: Your Attack Dice (ATK), your Damage Multiplier (DX) and Defense Dice (DEF) and Endurance (END)

The combat starts with rolling initiative, which is 2d6 + any revelant mods' dice (Normaly only Quick). Then it follows down from the highest initiative to lowest, each character taking actions.

You can have a lot of diferent atacks (depending on how many you created though), but the rule of thumb is that your Attack Dice (ATK) are 2d6 + Abilities revelant to the attack, and same with defense dice, the diference being you can add Traits to the atacks to make them more powerful in exhchange of them gaining an ENDurance cost.

There are 2 subcategories of Traits:

Perks, which increase your attack in power or add a special utility to it, but cost END

Flaws, which hinder your attack in some way, but decrease the END, down to 0, but never bellow 0.

ATK is, abstractly, your proficiency with an attack, or accuracy, while DX is how hard to hit. ATK is normaly affected by the Agile and Combat Expert Abilities while the DX by the Attack and Strong abilities.

When a character attacks, they roll their ATK dice, and the defender their DEF dice. For every point above the DEF score of the defender, they take 1 point of damage multiplied by the DX.

#

Oki so might seem like a bit

#

But it's p easy

#

Also last part is underlined because it's

The core combat loop

soft imp
#

Oh that’s fun

agile glade
#

ye

#

How is love magnet a weakness

agile glade
#

Ye?

agile glade
soft imp
#

I fail to see the problem. Human shields

agile glade
#

I doubt humans would admirate him

But I don't doubt he would have an ork horde following him everywhere-

#

Or maybe gretchin

soft imp
#

Still. Meat shields

#

Maybe even a portable army

agile glade
#

lmao

#

Well I'll allow it

soft imp
#

I somehow find how to turn a weakness into a strength

agile glade
#

Now dis is big thinkin'

soft imp
#

Dis is big bain time

agile glade
#

ye

#

I have actually funny stories from the times back when I tried running 40k DnD (don't do it btw it's a bad system to do it in-)

#

Basicly I have two stories if you want to hear them

#

  • The Space Marine, The Gretchin and the Felinid

  • The 2 Sisters of Silence, Space Marine, and funny gas mask man party

soft imp
#

Both? Both is good

agile glade
#

Oki so

#

One sec I know I had the 1st written somewhere...
...or part of it...

#

Oki so this is practicly from the end
but

Basicly, picture dis:

You are an ork freebota krumpin some umie ships with your fleet

Then, suddenly, the doors to your ship's bridge blow off, you hear "FOR THE EMPEROR", and get charged by a spaes marine.

Said spaes marine having a catgirl with a shank on one pauldron, a gobbo on the other, wielding a tiny shotgun (compared to him) and with a bunch of other umies behind

soft imp
#

XD

agile glade
#

Why he chose a random shotgun while he had the bolter is beyond me

But hey everyone had fun so

soft imp
#

Imma warn you rn

#

I’m probably going to do something that makes that seem normal at one point

agile glade
#

lmao

#

Will be waitin for it

soft imp
#

As at one point I was playing a ranger and I decided to fire a “warning shot” which… I had +9 to hit and almost killed the guy. And I said “just a warning shot”
Then a party member said “Warning shots don’t hit people!”
“Are they dead?”
“No but still!”
“Then just a warning shot.”

agile glade
#

Ah yes,
Technicall correctness

#

The best type of correctness

soft imp
#

Best thing was I had disadvantage

agile glade
#

lmao

soft imp
#

I almost never miss, even with disadvantage

agile glade
#

Ranger goes brrrrrrrrrr

soft imp
#

Also question

#

How many guns can I carry? >:3

agile glade
#

Well

The Attacks don't have a limit

#

So

soft imp
#

I want a sniper that when it hits a target. It makes them implode on themselfs. Like a black hole.

#

NO EVIDENCE LEFT BEHIND

agile glade
#

Think thats some Golden Age of Humanity tech

#

Or just a Shock Attak Gun

#

But sure

soft imp
#

XD

agile glade
#

Would probs have limited ammo though

soft imp
#

Understandable

agile glade
#

Any other weaponry?

soft imp
#

A rpg that fires small nukes! this is a joke

agile glade
#

this seems rather orky

soft imp
#

Ight.

agile glade
#

Up to you tho

soft imp
#

I got
Da brrrt boi.
Da pew cannon.
Da screw you and everyone you love.

agile glade
#

And maybe probs power armour punch/power claw rend?

or alike

soft imp
#

Oh right I need a melee weapon

agile glade
#

always good to have one

soft imp
#

A giant hammer. Like… a comedically large one. That has a jet engine attached to the back of it!

agile glade
#

Sure

#

Oki so lemme just compile all of these

#

Dakka Minigun
Hole-Maka'
Big Booma
Jet Crusha

...oki just name sugestions and also so i remember these better-

soft imp
#

Can the Jet Crusha be called. Bonk.

#

“Don’t makez me use da bonk!”

agile glade
#

Ye

Names are up to ya-

soft imp
agile glade
soft imp
#

XD

#

Omg imagine a amnesia pilot XD

agile glade
#

Who would win:

  • The eldar god of excess and torture who has consumed and damned billions of souls to his name

or

  • 1 orky boi with a Bonk
soft imp
#

1 orky boi.

#

If he believes the god to be weak. Then he could technically almost never lose

agile glade
#

There is a somewhat large cap to the power of the Waghhh

But with enough orks
And if he leads a gargantuan WAGHHHHHH

Then maybe

soft imp
#

that’s where love magnet comes in

agile glade
#

LMAO

#

Well

Guess that could work out

soft imp
#

YOU FOOL. YOU FORGOT MY ULTIMATE ATTACK!

agile glade
#

O

soft imp
#

SUMONS 300 ORKZ

#

Wait!

agile glade
#

I'd recomend takin Minions for that

soft imp
#

If I can convince enough orks that I’m a god….

dapper nimbus
#

Hello there

soft imp
#

OH! HELLO!

agile glade
dapper nimbus
#

is it okay that I don't know that much about warhammer 40k lore but my friends keep telling me it's really good so I'm interested

agile glade
#

...those being the two ork gods

agile glade
#

Who's your friend?

dapper nimbus
#

they aren't on this server

#

i think

#

gotta check

#

nope

#

basically 2 guys I know from another campaign they are huge warhammer 40k nerds and kept talking to me about it and I understood nothing

#

but kinda interested

agile glade
#

Oki so

Want the short intro or the traditional intro to it?

dapper nimbus
#

short please

agile glade
dapper nimbus
agile glade
#

  • It's the 41st millenium (aka year 40 000), and Humanity is on the brink of being wiped out, constantly

  • Humanity used to be lead by the Emperor of Mankind, now God Emperor of Mankind, who they worship and heed his now corrupted and twisted lessons...Which are in that state because of a crazy tyrant space pope, but thats a story for another time.

  • The Cult of the God Emperor mostly revolves around intense xenophobia towards anything that isn't Human, hence why aliens and heretics are to be shot on sight. Additionally, humans consider them superior to anything and anyone, hence the prior things.

  • The Emperor is also on the brink of death, only being alive via an ancient machine called the Golden Throne, and unable to do much to stop Mankind from worshiping him. And without him, space travel is impossible, as he is a sort of beacon in Space Hell, aka Warp, which most space travel is done through.

  • Heretics both encompass Daemon-Worshippers and just those who refuse to do their duty by serving the Emperor.

  • Additionally, knowledge of technology has been all but forgotten, the only ones who know how to do it being the Techpriests...And they only know how to put things together, not how they work.

  • The Imperium of Man encompasses most planets on a galactic scale.

  • The Imperium of Man's enemies are immense, as well as its armies, them being the Imperial Guard and its billions of soldiers...And the Space Marines, who are the most powerful supersoldiers of the galaxy.

  • Lastly, the emperor is but a rotting carcass by the point of the timeline. He cannot speak, at least not directly, but has come to awaken at times.

And those are the basics
