Ok, trying to now get this little dusty corner on the site up and active. Some people have weighed in on being interested in an RP for 40K, and now I am healed enough from my car wreck to be able to sit long enough to type and model for extended periods of time, so I thought i'd get the ball rolling. This thread will be for several purposes, and be the hub for managing RPs in future campaigns.

First thing is first... We need rules.. These I would prefer to be fairly open, as too much constriction on rules makes it less fun to RP, and cuts down on individuality, but with the base we will potentially have to draw players from, we need some univeral direction. I will not be posting my own, yet, as I want to get other peoples opinions before I decide. Keep in mind these don't have to be an entire essay. They can just be as simple as 'No titans should be in the RP.' or as complex as 'X can't be allowed because Y would be useless then, and unless Z were to happen no one would want to do Y and then A would have to happen to make X useful, and the Y is useless again'.

Second thing.. I will need help managing these forums. I am anticipating pulling many gentlemen I know who play D&D and other pen-paper RPGs to here, so the volume of posts and participants should increase, and due to a full plate of physical therapty, work, and trying to crunch out 3K for the tournaments coming up, I may not be available day-to-day. I would request some volunteers, but would also like to take the time to invite Dead Commando, as I think he is responsible enough, and is alos different enough from me that things will be kept balanced and fair.

Third thing: After rules have been developed (I would like them to be finalized by New Years, no later), I will need campaign ideas, but the campaigns wanted by our populous will likely impact our rules, so I encourage you all to submit your ideas to me, ethier via E-Mail, Messenger, or PM.

So far that is all. So please, reply to this thread with rules ideas, send me or any announced co-directors of the Guild, and feel free to begin recruiting anyone you know who may wish to join us!
