_____________________
Hello and welcome to my very first RTD c: (and the first time GMing aswell, so be aware of this. Also death is fairly common in grim darkness of future. Ah, and my 40k lore knowledge and especially my english language or writing skills are rather modest)
//////////// how it works
The main objective of players is to hold the fortified position against all the odds.
How the game goes :
First of all goes the reinforcements phase, if there are less then 6 current living player characters, then the 6 dice is rolled for reinforcements archetype. All nonspecial characters are basicly guardsmen of rolled flavour.
1)Deathkorps
2)Valhallan ice warriors
3) Cadian regiment
4) feudal world regiment
5) feral world recruits
6) hiveworld underhive scum guys
then 20 roll is performed for special characters getting into reinforcement, if it is < 15( it is 25 % chance, so we dont have 6 comissars in the trench) , then there are no special characters, if it is > 15, then second 20 roll is performed among those, who are rolling in this reinforcement phase and had special character on in their preferences.
If reinforcement roll is above 15, and there are any with special character turned on among the rolling guys, then the person rolling the highest out of 20 roll gets the special snowflake role after performing 6 roll to decide it(yes, that is lot of rolls)
1) Comissar. (It would be really preferable, if you would not go full BLAM BLAM BLAM on your teammates, but it is up to your choice)
2)Sanctioned psyker. Can result in either epic win, or ruining everything. Psychic discipline is selected by lucky player ( if psyker will get rolled out of archetypes by rng ever ) from : pyromancy/ biomancy/ telekinesis/ divination/ telepathy
3)Field medic. Gets medical supplies and gets +1 to roll, if it is about stopping bleeding or applying medicine.
4)Priest. Faith and big chainsaw.
5)Leitenant. May roll for contacting command once per two days.
6) Marksman. Gets longlas and +1 to perception rolls.
then goes munitorum roll
1 reinforcements are awfully undergeared
2 reinforcements get the main gear except lacking something like helmets or boots.
3 just standart guard gear nothing too fancy
4-5 the whole squad gets random specialist weapon in their inventory, they are first pick up first serve tho( they may have limited ammo in case of meltaguns or missile launchers and that kind of stuff, aswell )
6 munitorum messed up and squad gets something extraordinary
after rolls are performed new player characters get to their position and things start.
each 10 days of game time, if there are less then 6 living player characters new reinforcements and munitorum rolls are performed
/////////////
Dice Rolls:
[1] – failure that makes the current situation even worse.
[2] – failure that has no dire repercussions.
[3] – marginal failure – you did something, but it didn’t really help much.
[4] – marginal success – you could have done it better.
[5] – perfect success – it couldn’t have gone any better.
[6] – overshoot – you did it, but either caused damage to yourself, to someone nearby or to the moral fabric of society. (Yes, I used Harry Baldman rtd about undead c:)
Combat: opposed rolls – difference indicates degree of success. Subject to GM whimsy.
Death: usually happens, when you get injuries too hard to survive. This is simple.
/////////////// Signing up
To sign up, just post, that you want to take part in this and your yes/no preference about performing special snowflake character roll, when it comes to your turn in reinforcement phase.
Character biography is made by player DURING REINFORCEMENT ROLL , when his archetype is defined)
Name: preferable are names fitting for your archetype( something sounding tribal is totally fitting for the feral world recruits, but not for deathkorps)
Biography: who you were, what you did (please no going into warp and defeating Kharne in armwrestling match, also it should be fitting into the archetype you got during roll)

Notes
Well, character biography is supposed to be written after reinforcements roll, when you know your archetype. Now in reinforcements roll feudal world regiment got selected by dice, so biography of player character is supposed to be the one of feudal worlders.
Special snowflake thing basicly requires you to decide, if you would like to roll for special characters( if such roll appears), for example psykers are somewhat unstable and tend to sometimes blow up or create hole in reality and summoning LOADS OF DEMONS, so I have thought, that some players might want to avoid rolling for special character at all during their turn in reinforcement phase.
Ok, we got six players to begin and here we go ! :)
rolls
first reinforcements roll - 4 - regiment from feudal world archetype
second reinforcements roll - 1 - no special characters involved in this reinforcements wave
munitorum roll - 6 - munitorum messes up and something extraordinary happens
Deep below planet surface in imperial guard command bunker.
Comissar : Lord general, I demand to know, why feudal world regiment is deployed for the trench warfare.
Lord general : Estimated casaulties on frontline are 98 %, losing worthless feudal regiment, who cant even point lasguns in proper direction is much better then sending any useless asset in this meatgrinder.
Meanwhile in one of countless dusty munitorum cabinets.
Munitorum clerk Bob : I think, that I messed up and sent orange prison robes and industrial explosives shipment to the imperial guard and shipment of army grade gear to the penal mining colony
Munitorum clerk Joe : Well, it is not like anything can go wrong, anyway.
On the other end of the imperial space.
Distress signal from prison world Delta-349 :
++++ We are overrun by heavily armed prisoners, we are the last functioning arbites precinct on this planet.. By the golden throne! How did they even get anti-tank missiles... ++++
Extra notes
would edit the picture and group inventory a bit later. Would be nice if you would write your feudal world characters biographies, or at least give some names.
After several hours of walking through boring frozen landscape the group reaches positions fortified only by small trench. What will they do?
(http://s013.radikal.ru/i323/1610/10/c4608fb9d689.png) (http://radikal.ru)
Personal gear and character identification
(http://s017.radikal.ru/i433/1610/44/5e56c6711ab6.png) (http://radikal.ru)
Group gear consists of :
(http://s41.radikal.ru/i094/1610/a8/afe8cdeb3320.png) (http://radikal.ru)
also count the shovel, keg of beer and 40 planks of wood( forgot to add them)
Meanwhile in the throne room of lord Ragnar
Lord Ragnar : Damn it, I start regretting sending my jester to the emperor .I still cant stop laughing, when remember his speeches about peasants rights and violence not being the solution to every problem. .
Bishop Magnus : With all respect, my lord, I still think, that we should have burned him on the stake together with other anarcho-syndicalist heretics.
Lord Ragnar : No sane person will ever believe in such idiocy like equal rights, bishop. That is like that exucted priest saying, that earth is not flat.
Notes : square shields guys with crossbows got are towershields, metal rods in inventories of people with feudal world gunpowder weapons are ramrods, white things are paper rolls filled with gunpowder.
Fixed the personal gear pic link.
Helmacon, if it is not working still your character gear is militia chainmail, tophelm, mace, towershield, crossbow, 20 bolts and small utility knife.
Current action rolls Kot - 6, Helmacon -2, Spazyak -1, s34n1c - 5, Pancaek 5
Will wait for input from two other players before processing.
____Updated____________________
Yottawhat
:Load my gun and stand ready.
Aladgar Schwarz successfully pours gunpowder inside barrel of his first and second pistol (5)
And while rolled paper resists ramrodding, it finely gives up and slides inside(4)
After getting bullets inside Aladgar realizes, that pistols were already loaded, and he overloaded them right now (6 roll)
His pistols get overloaded quality : - 1 to next usage roll, but with odds of shooting some poor sod/ sods with two bullets from each gun( MUCH DAKKA)
Aladgar stands ready(5) He never felt so ready in his life.
_________________________
Kot
: As the obvious Commissar (POWER TO THE PEOPLE!) of the whole band, being dressed in red and whatnot, I make sure my personal thunder stick (what a glorious invention that equalizes everyone in the face of death) is loaded.
Dennis points gun to the sky and shakes it a bit, to hear if there is bullet inside it.( roll - 6)
Suddenly gun goes off, well, we can say, that it definetly was loaded.
Bird in the sky (1 - 6) After the single loud scream bird falls from the sky.
And about bird we can say, that it used to be flying.
boomstick gun smoke roll (5) It is truly surprising, how such tiny gun can make enough smoke to fully cover man behind it.
_____________________________
My name is immaterial.: Wynnifer She hops into the trench, lays out her pike and quiver, and loads her crossbow.
Wynnifer attempts to hop in the trench.... And she... Does it ! (5)
Wynnifer accidently slips, breaking the pike in half and all the arrows slide to the bottom of the trench, DUH! (1)
Despite 19 out of her 20 arrows being scattered on the bottom of the trench and her pike becoming short spear and short stick, Wynnifer has no problems with loading crossbow (5)
______________________________
______________________
Pancaek : unless the wall in the picture is actually a trench instead of a wall. Then load my crossbow and get in the trench.
Victor attempts to load the crossbow ( 5 ) And he successfully does it!Just like he was taught to by militia sergeant. Waging war in emperors name is much more easy then growing cabbage, at least for now.
After loading the crossbow Victor skillfully hops in trench(5 agility roll). May be it is not the feat bards will sing about, but you have to start from something, right?
________________________
_______________________
Helmacaon : Light a candle and say a prayer to the Emperor. Not that I need to specify that or anything. It's not like there's anyone else I could be praying to. Yep, just the Emperor. Yep. Load my crossbow
Arthur Bergren attempts to light the candle (2), but it immediatly extenguishes, ugh.( one firematch less :c)
Arthur does not give up, as he remembers the words of Saint Sigismund the chainsaw murderer : " THE TRUE prayeth'r requires not the candle 'r temple, but the lighteth of faith in thee and the enemies around to slaughtereth. "
Arthur speaks the lithany of devotion (2) : thee carryeth the emp'r'r's will shall as thy torch, ehhh, what goes after this? Damn it, I always forget second half. Dear emperor, why could not your saints invent shorter prayers.
Screw this, lets leave prayers to the monks, I need to have crossbow loaded (5). Unlike with prayers, it is harder to forget, what to do next, so loading crossbow has no mishaps.
________________________
S34N1C: Anton cleans his rifle and prepares for combat
Anton tries to brush off the oily spat from the stock of his musket, sadly chemical cleaners are not something he has, ever had or even heard about.(3)
Anton prepares for combat(5) He loaded his musket beforehand and is somewhat ready to combat except there is nothing to put musket on right now
________________________
Spazyak
dig a trench, look for hostiles, pray to emperor
Edward Bent furiosly strikes the earth right in the place, where he stands (5) And he digs out a trench!
Edward decides to look around for some hostiles to rob of their posessions, BY THE WILL OF THE GOLDEN THRONE, of course!(5)
He sees group of five humansized blurry figures on the big distance, seems like they have mostly standart gear for soldiers living inside flying castles except left pauldron painted yellow with small brown circle in it.
Edward makes aquila sign and asks emperor for guidance. Unlike those stories about saints there is no golden light or anything.(3)
Current RTD map (http://s018.radikal.ru/i523/1610/57/0af70abb5808t.jpg) (http://radikal.ru/big/8dysoc08p68gg)
Notes Will update gear screen somewhat later. Kot is behind big cloud of smoke, if you cant find him on map. I hope, that I got everything right, since. Would be nice to have some more defined action description, when you guys decide to perform some terrain interaction like trench digging, if you perform it
In case of Antons musket, I assumed, that it is 16th century 10kg musket shooting 20mm bullets, which required to be placed om something before being fired.
Since they are human sized, and seem to have generic ,, men from the skies" gear like green vest, green helmet and standart uniform except left shoulderpad/pauldron painted yellow and caring some brown circle, they are not chaos space marines :)Also throwing chaos space marines at underequipped players as first action does not feel like good GMing
Ah, sorry, when I hear pauldrons, I think of Space Marines, and ridiculous stuff like this (https://1d4chan.org/images/e/ea/Epic_vladimir_tzepesci_full.jpg).
I suppose these (https://1d4chan.org/images/2/24/Glory.jpg) do count as pauldrons, but the sheer size of pauldrons in 40K totally overwhelms the smaller pauldron sizes.
Updated
Spazyak : open fire with arrows Scream to the others to fire. Then hop/fumble/fail into trench

s341nc : Get in the trench and set my musket on the ground beside the trench.

And he manages to do the same thing with second pistol!, (4)

There was some reference of ork slayer mobile guys, but Victor fails to remember, if red coat man called them hostiles or not.
Helmacaon Get in the trench .Ready crossbow. Do not fire unless they are identified as hostiles
Arthur runs for the trench and hops inside(5)
As Arthur readies his crossbow, treacherous bolt slides out of it (3)
Idea roll - 6
There must be some force causing things, including these damn bolts to fall!
Theoretical physics breakthrough roll - 3, ehmm, things fall down because god emperor wills it so, if emperor did not want things to fall, things would float.
Kot : Stumble forward (towards the trench) in the smoke. Scream something about horrible boomstick deamons.

DEMOONS! BOOOMSTICK DEMOOONS! ( 6)
Guardsmen moral roll - 3
While three out of five guardsmen lie down and ready their weapons, one of them drops everything and runs backwards.
GM notes
Sorry about that blurry figures thing, guys, thought, that there is like 13000 pixels = 400+ metres between you and them, actually it is 1360 Pixels, consider them 40-50 metres away.
Also, cant of kind update map right now, hope, that everything is possible to understand out of written text
Huh? Wait, what's going on? Guys?
Is this, what you want your character to say, or this is out of character WTF moment?

Edwards tries to notch the arrow, but it is hard to do so, when you see five bows and five arrows. Arrow falls out of his hand ( arrow notch roll 2 = 3-1, -1 comes from blurry vision due to minor success in blindness roll after laser shot )
BE READY, THIS MIGHT BE A TRAP, THEY JUST SHOT ME WITH MAGIC! ( eloquence roll 4)

GM notes
My name is immaterial, you did not topple statues in temples of gods, blow up mirror shops or yell profanities at gods of luck? If your dice will continue in such manner you might aswell approach statistical miracle ammount of 1 rolls.
Do you want to see hostile characters/ accidents target selection dice rolls? Or you are ok with this thing being hidden rolls, like random encounters and findings?
Their Goddamn gue'vesa! Open Fire!

GM notes :
Helmacon, well, it is rather discovering unnoticed earlier psychic potential, also due to lack of training there is + 1 to perils of the warp and -1 to successful psychic things roll. If you decide to go this way and roll 1 and then 6 on perils of the warp, !fun! may happen.
Kot, ehm, discovering psychic potential, while trying to go materialist approach to world is not considered overshoot?
Also
Kot, ehm, discovering psychic potential, while trying to go materialist approach to world is not considered overshoot?
Technically, discovering physic potential is pretty much impossible at that age - it usually starts with kids summoning deamons and shit, but I guess for the purposes of the game it's okay.
Pick up the shiny thing. Safely. Years of digging in shit trained me for this!
Oh
I was making this on basis of some line like : ,, Ehm, I just looked at his gun, and it exploded, inquisitor " -dude, who does not know, that he is actually psyker. from dark heresy rulebook, cant remember exact location though
It's okay. This isin't any way worse than Imperial Guard regiment with crossbows and muskets - I mean, RIGHT, they're Feudal World but even they get Flashlights when they create a regiment.

GM notes

Arthur turns towards the Daemons and does
(http://www.lovethisgif.com/uploaded_images/57613-The-Most-American-Gifs-Of-All-Time.gif)
but with the lazguns.
He forgets about the Gu'vesa for now, in light of the bigger threat.
He briefly considers what the voice in his head is saying, but seeing as he prescribes to Emerson styled transcendentalism he dismisses the ideas of "Pleasures" outside of the natural experience of nature and life.
((Going for the obscure philosophic approach to fighting Daemon influence))
