You are Thaddeus Wolfe. Tall, dark, and surrounded by heresy. You have come to the Praetian Sector pursuing Gabriel Orik, a known Chaos worshipper, and the decisions you make in the following months will change the fate of the entire Segmentum Pacificus.

You are an Inquisitor of the holy Ordos, and your foes will know fear.

Hey guys. Just a quick blurb on a “collective roleplay” that I wish to start up in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium. Feel free to post in this thread (to say hi) before contributing to the decision making process in the story thread (link to be added).

For those unaware of how a collective roleplay works, I’ll quickly outline it. I’ll post a blurb of text from the perspective of the character (Inquisitor Wolfe), sometimes short, sometimes long – and this text will tell you how the character is progressing. At the end of the post will be a decision between two or more choices that will dictate Wolfe’s actions in the next instalment. It’s up to the troping community to make that decision, by choosing an option. One day will pass and then the next part will be written up, using the most popular course of action. This cycle will repeat itself until the story reaches a natural (and hopefully epic) conclusion.

Sometimes, a decision will require a dice roll to be made (usually in the form of a D6, D10 or D100). This represents the character undergoing a particularly hazardous action, such as a firefight. The result of the dice will determine the outcome of such an action, for better or worse. In an ideal world, all posters would make a dice roll, and the result would be averaged, but for simplicity only the first reply’s dice roll will count (regardless of the choice made by the player). The system relies on honesty, so play nice!

I’ll provide some more details on the narrative soon enough, and hope to kick off this story by the end of the week. In the meantime though, sign-up here to show interest and give some feedback as to what you would like to see.

Scott.

I'm a bit skeptical on implementing a "quest" on this forum (especially as this one doesn't allow hotlinked images), but the quest itself sounds interesting.

Note that (judging by my activity on MSPA forums) I'm more of a lurker than a suggester, though.

I'll toss in a few suggestions now and again.

[up][up][up] I never really thought that the images were that important to the story anyway...

Still looking for a few more contributors, hopefully to kick this off on the 11th.

I will do it a few times most likely.

A pretty fun guy to be around.

Thread is up ladies and gentlemen. Head over and make some decisions. I'll put up a discussion thread for any further... erm... discussion.

The last post in this signup was the best part of a year ago. It can safely be assumed this is a dead RP.

As such, thread locked to prevent further necromancy.
