You're the DM but the book does explicitly say no Vampire PCs for some really good reasons--they have ridiculous ups and downs.

Anywho, DD, should we really be making characters?  I'm eager but I don't wanna jump the gun either.

...I'm currently waiting on other games to revive and kind of needed something to do in the mean time Jez. ^_^;

Sry, meant to address Featherfall with that one.  And on the Vampire note, I only know this b\c one of my friends looked into WFRP2e vampyrs during one of our campaigns and informed me of it.  Perhaps a different book offers a pc solution.

Well again there are legit rules for alternate weaknesses for vampires.

Also I think Liber Fanatica actually has some expansion stuff for Thousand Thrones explaining possible ways for vampires to kind of over come weaknesses without wasting blood gifts either through alchemy (angled toward necrachs) or undertaking quests (like a blood dragon, but I don't see why Lahmians or von carsteins can't do it as well). xD

...Liber Fanatica is my favorite fan site by the way, especially cause it gave me new shit to love for necromancy (both shit for the normal lore of necromancy and the lore of Nagash which they both made better than they were orginally)...also it gave us more undead beasties to play with and anything that does that greatly pleases me. We have tomb guard, Ushabti and TOMB SCORPIONS! >:3

DD, are you sure you're not asking to play a bloodsucking souless monster?  The kind who's friends will weep for the decent living being he once was while we drive a stake through his hert and burry him at the crossroads?

...What the hell sort of people do you think the vampire counts are Muse? Yeah most of them think humans are basically cattle for them to feed off of, but others know how useful mortals can be as well as how much potential they can have. Look at Helman Ghorst, Manfred made that boy a proper and awesome ass necromancer cause he knew that boy had talent and took his depressed orphaned ass under his wing. :3

Also the blood kiss doesn't brainwash you. Just make you...different is all...and also possibly immortal. Aside from becoming somewhat more pompous and like the aristocracy you're still 95% the person you were beforehand. Also you get to learn necromancy and lead the charge in the skeleton war's old world theatre! xD

Go ahead and roll up if you want; I'll probably wait a day to see if everyone who expressed interest still wants to play, then move this over to the group session if we still need a few more bodies before we get started.  :-)

  *Waves and smiles* 

  So, im currently toying with two concepts. Both human--though I suppose the first could be a halfling girl isntead. 

  If we want to start with some or all of our characters not optomised for adventure, I'd like to do a Racantuer.  (Sigmars Heirs 121-122.)  She'd be a young maiden from a prosperous farm in the more propserous parts of the empire.  So well known for her ready skill with a tale growing up that her friends called her The Story Girl. 

  (Maybe she had a mute friend named Kilminee who played a violin nad who's family owned an apple orchard.  ;)  )

  Wonder if anyone gets either refrence.  ^_^;; 

  Anyways, the more martial idea is for an Estalian Deistro.  In this case, I'm torn between a young woman claiming to be married to her sword and a cassanova swordsman.  The second used to be slightly more greedy with his skills and services, but realized that women admired heroes far more than mercinaries.  :)

Is Featherfall for sure GMing this then?

I'd pick 1/2 Nurgle and 1/2 Slaanesh myself. Though I would like some Khorne combat rolls in the game too. Basically think the setting to 'Berserk' and that's what I'd really be after. I don't want to play a Guts equivalent though, some Imperial schmuck is fine with me.

On the subject of Vampires; the book they're in clearly states that Vampires should not be PCs due to being OP (read: broken). If the whole party were Vampires that's different. I however wouldn't want to play in a game where one of the PCs is a Vampire and I don't want to play one myself either. If a PC gets turned into a Vamp, that's stated in the book that it should be character retirement time.

I'll probably roll a character up later then, using the 2nd Corebook. It'll be a pain in the ass with languages to play a Bretonnian and they reuse many of the corebook careers anyway.

Well, as a long-time fan of swashbuckling adventures, Errol Flynn flicks, and virtually every incarnation of Zorro ever (except Espada y la Rosa; fuck that show) the more Estalian Deistros the better. ^^ However, the idea of a Racantuer would certainly be interesting! Though I see you rolled for your Don Juan already, and...yup, those are some pretty average stats.  :P If you are happy with Paolo, then he looks good to me!

Between my own reservations and everyone else's concerns, I'm going to have to put the ke-bosh on PCs becoming Vampires and remaining PCs. Sorry, DD!

Sounds good. Just remember that if you DO play a Bretonnian, some of the core classes don't have a clear equivalent for Bretonnia (like Apprentice Wizard, for example).

...I'll likely be changing my first career to something non-mage then. Not really worth playing a mage if they can't get corrupted and become a vampire in the future. :P

Also everyone else I don't mean to sound bitter, but I didn't think I was asking for something really OP to be honest. PC Vampires after all take a fair long while before they really get to be anything really that powerful (especially if you choose to sacrifice most of your only 6 blood gifts just to nullify the steep weaknesses that comes with being a vampire in the first place). ^_^;

1/4th Khorne, 2/4th Slaanesh, 1/4th Nurgle is my vote for content.

My options are overwhelming, I've only rarely gotten to be a player with WFRP2e.  I'll consider for a bit.

Thufir Hawat

I call "Nurgle" just "Warhammer Refereeing 101", so 35% Tzeentch, 15% Khorne and 50% Slaanesh sound about right for my tastes.
Which is to say, like everyone else's, it seems ;D!

I'm planning to roll everything if I find the time to actually sit down and make a character :P.

Seeing a wide variety of which of the Ruinous Powers shall dominate our game (except Slaanesh, who maintains a healthy appearance everywhere...you perverts. :p). So I'll have to do some mix-and-matching clearly.

Also Quasar, you do not have to roll your appearance if you do not want to.

Though... which char gen is being gone with? Completely "lol Random" or can i actually make decisions on how my character is based..?

Just edited my post adding in the common trappings everyone gets and the random rolled starting crowns going in. Due to the availability checks and how they can be modified, I'll wait until Ulrich is actually in-game before spending any of those coins. Also need to pick a hand weapon and figure how encumbered he is. Otherwise pretty much done.

As everyone else is doing 'random', I think it is only fair we keep going in that direction (and to be honest I always found that to be part of the fun), though if others who have already rolled say they don't mind I would be willing to allow it.

Noted! It should also be said that I will be borrowing heavily from the Corebook's premade and the subsequent trail of adventure 'Paths of the Damned' (with heavy modification based on player choices/extended adventures/kink times) so the time-line is after Archaon never got anywhere close to the Empire was "barely beaten back" at the Walls of Middenheim.

So for characters that have been (almost) completed we have:

Ulrich (wander)
Andric Vaulban (Quasar)
Paolo (Muse)

With potential characters from DD and LaughingOne. Quite the sausage-fest we got going on here. :P

I'll get a sheet done ASAP this weekend, going to see Bladerunner 2049 tonight in IMAX so sorry geekiness needs geeking, and they better NOT fuck this up or I'll be a mad geek.
