How fleshed out do you want backgrounds to be?

Check the in character thread. Otherwise, doesn't need much.

Anything else necessary or you two ready to get going?

I didn't want to start until I was sure that Raineh was good to go.

This, btw, is the talking bet that's supposed to clue everyone in on the basics of the setting and location. So we can move through it as quickly as you two want.

Just going to say, anyone who was in Untergard recently would know exactly who Boris is...

There's more than one Boris in the world.

Somehow by not liking the halfling I've managed to turn him into a more fleshed out character than what's his name Gottfried.

And yet if I told you that Trump had a speech to give, you'd never question which Trump it was.  :P

Because I see his name every damn day. It's not like my characters are political hawks or activists in this part of the empire. This is like asking me to name some random local politician. :<

Post by: Stratovarius on December 07, 2017, 11:23:12 AM
No, it's not. You've been living in a town that just went through a massive nine day battle to survive a Chaos invasion, and Boris is the guy who stopped the invasion. Your character would damn sure have heard of Boris. Every person would be talking about him and his heroics. The initial post makes clear you know who won the battle at Middenheim, as well.

So no, Untergard isn't an out-of-the-way town, and you would know it - it's in the middle of the Storm of Chaos, and it's the place that broke Khazrak One-Eye's forces.

I'm away from books, how do we do initiative?
Title: Re: Voices of the Downtrodden [OOC]
Post by: Stratovarius on December 07, 2017, 12:21:43 PM
Quote
To determine Initiative, 1d10 is rolled and the result is added to the character’s Agility Characteristic.

^^ That.

In future, if you want, I can always role for some of the prep work like this.

I'd be fine with that.

hopefully whatever initiative the enemies get isn't ALSO 32.

Don’t forget you currently haven’t spotted the enemies. You might want to try...
Title: Re: Voices of the Downtrodden [OOC]

We can do that?

Perception tests?

I meant roll perception without knowing there's anything to perceive. :p

Well, you know there's a sniper firing at the Watch Captain and you don't know where it is...
Title: Re: Voices of the Downtrodden [OOC]
Post by: Raineh Daze on December 08, 2017, 11:44:39 AM
Well, now I know there's a sniper. I was wondering what was happening. :lmao

And I see nothing by

1%. Unless it's an easy thing to spot. <_>

What are the rules on moving diagonally?

On the map, Tomas can be Thomas (with a rename since my character has an H in his hame name).  Thomas' portrait. (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/03/91/c8/0391c88db46589cdea3d41b257fa39a5--character-concept-art-character-portraits.jpg)

Gottfried will either be in place of Hanner or Cantra depending on if Raineh wants her people together or apart.  Gottfriend's portrait. (https://img00.deviantart.net/0e86/i/2012/136/a/6/sebastian_vael_by_dragonreine-d4zv44a.jpg)
Title: Re: Voices of the Downtrodden [OOC]
Post by: Raineh Daze on December 08, 2017, 08:19:15 PM
Jarla in place of Cantra, please. Have a good enough portrait. (https://i.imgur.com/K71YAp9.png) And a source picture. (https://i.imgur.com/qQ1p0ww.png)

Can't just find a reasonable picture of someone female in a hood without it being a damn photo, though, which I was trying to do for Gretchen. :p
Title: Re: Voices of the Downtrodden [OOC]
Post by: Stratovarius on December 09, 2017, 08:27:47 AM
Portraits up. And diagonal movement is allowed. See the examples on page 132 of the rulebook for a couple run-throughs of combat rounds.

Gave Gretchen an NPC's portrait called Mevra since that has a hood on it.

I'm taking it shorty aimed to give himself an extra +20 BS on that roll? :p

Actually I forgot about aim.  They're less than 16 yards away so I don't get a range penalty anymore.

I forgot your BS is somehow 53. Pretty ridiculous, someone get you a gun.

Yup, we have a halfling warsling sniper going on as a starting career, somehow.

And that's why I didn't take BS as my starting advance, I didn't want to be too much.

Does plaudits from the town leader count as a reward? :P

I just got a cough, but that's about as unusual as breathing for me.

I have the same issue.  With me it appears to be that my tonsils become slightly swollen super easily.

He was nagging me to post on discord and did it here as well. So I did, and now he has to talk xD

There, I talked. 

If you wanted something less rambunctious you should have picked Gottfried.  :P

We've been over the fact that I know nothing about WFRPG.  All of my knowledge is 40k.

So no, I didn't know that.  I don't even know where Middenheim is.   :P

By the way, you don't have to go with the pheasants if you don't want to. That's just one option.

The only requirement for the next phase of the printed adventure is ending up in Middenheim eventually.
