Horus Heresy RPG - Anyone interested?
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 3:12 am
I am planning a couple of new sideline RPG games for the new year, as well as the Blood Bowl RPG which is ongoing and those held by other members. I narrowed it down to two choices, of which I will likely only play one, although running both is an option if the demand is there. That is the purpose of these threads, just to draw in interest and get an idea on who will be interested in what.
There have already been a couple of 40k RPGs on the site, but neither of them were set in the 31st millenium and played out by Space Marines! I've been thinking for a long time about running a Horus Heresy RPG, and have decided if anyone wants to play it to go ahead with the idea. It will be set on Istvaan V at the time of the Dropsite Massacre, and players will be part of a specialist squad from one of the three loyalist legions (Raven Guard, Salamanders or Iron Hands). I'm leaning towards the Raven Guard, my personal favourites, but I will run with another if that's what players want.
Being a specialist squad you will have access to a wider range of weaponry than the humble boltgun, and the story will run that your drop pod is shot down upon entering the battle and your squad sergeant killed. You land off target alone in the chaos (no pun intended), and have to fight your way back out towards the place where reinforcements will turn up in the form of the Night Lords, Word Bearers, Iron Warriors and Alpha Legion! Horus Heresy fans will already know what happens if you get there.
If you think it might interest you, please say so here this week.
