[LFDM) Black Crusade

Hello! I am looking for a stable Black Crusade Game I can indulge in. Feel free to message me. -Matthew

Wanting to get into a game myself, the hard part is finding a GM to lead the group.  I have some experience being a GM for Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader.

Would also love to join a Black Crusade game.

Sadly the biggest is there are tons of Player, but no one wants to GM. I am already running a game for some local friends. 

From a quick scan there are already 2 games open to players that need GM. Basically we need one or two people to be willing to run these games. 

I would also love to play in a Black Crusade game, I've got plenty of experience in other games from the 40K line but I've never been able to fit my way into a Black Crusade campaign. Unfortunately I couldn't make a Sunday game and I'm a British player, so depending on timezones it may be tough to manage but otherwise I'd be all over this.

Hopefully this thread will garner some attention and then someone will take take pity on us and run a campaign.  Though I just had an idea. It would require every member of the group to be on board, but each player in the game runs one story arch. We keep round robin the game like that. The gods are caprious after all. 

I think it would be interesting but my GMing experience is uh... limited... well ok non-existent and as much as I'd be cool with GMing, I'm not overly experienced in general. I'd be down for learning but basically I'm not sure how good I'd be at it and the only reason I'd even try here is because I am pretty familiar with the system and intimately familiar with 40K. Not giving a solid yes to this but it might be a solution if we really want a game and can't find a GM high or low. The only caveat to this is I would want a little guidance and at least a chance to play a bit in the setting before my turn to bat came up.

Sounds like you have solid footing to become a GM. I am sure something could be negoitated with all the players to best handle the the round robin. However, this format will make character creation and some other aspects of the game go slower because we ALL have to agree on what is what. Moving from one story to another is important the next GM will have to honor what has come before. 

Well thanks for having at least a little confidence and true enough, we'd all need to be ok with everything one another is playing but I tend to try and work with the group anyway in terms of character creation and being new to all of this I'd likely just prefer to stick to the book rules by and large. I wouldn't need everyone to be taking a turn at GMing though I'd be ok with that if people wanted and I only ask for a chance to play just because I'd like to have a general feel for the game before I ran it as I've never had any direct experience with Black Crusade.

Understood. One of the big things about Black Crusade is that your players will do bad things. The level of how bad you want to go will need to be established before the game start. BC is very much for 18+.  If you are not cool playing/running that, then the game really is not for you.

Again, I know 40K, everyone, everyone,  does horrific things daily, Hell I'm pretty sure that my Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader games (and others although the above are standout examples) have involved some pretty messed-up stuff. It may say something worrying about me but I love games where I get to play to play the monster and/or the thing that goes bump in the night, so whilst I can't talk for anyone else, I can say that I'm pretty fine with bad things happening. Just so long as it doesn't become a game of constant backstabbing for no reason and a constant, "Who can be the most evil?" competition, as much fun as being a monster is, I still like monsters with stories to tell.

True. From my thinking that if you have enough external Pressure in a BC game the PC really wont have much time to backstab each other. Pragmatism wins the day in most cases. However, nothing says bonding like Virus bombing an entire world!

Well then it seems we may have the ability for a game then.  I do like the alternating GM bit, gives everyone the chance to be a player and get a bit more experience behind the screen.

Shawn, as I said. It could work, but we have to have Jam session about it. I don't want a situation where someone gets pressed ganged into running. 

I fully agree, these kind of games are no fun if the GM or players feel they are forced into a position they are not prepared for.  That can be mitigated with proper planning as you have already said.  Working through the kinks is a must even when the role of GM doesn't shift, but I feel confident this wouldn't be much more difficult than a normal pregame rundown.  

I am talking with some others about the game and see if we can come to an agreement. 

I kind of like to view BC as a horror game of sorts more than a straight 40K game, granted, you  are the monster in this game but there are also other threats out there, likely bigger and badder than you, especially at the beginning of the game but it seems like the best way to view it is as the barebones cooperation of monsters or even a pack of wolves, power may shift and change, people won't always get on, everyone has their own agendas, desires and objectives but at the same time, when the pressure is taken off, you can still, ultimately, expect people to find a way to cooperate, remember the reasons they like or at least appreciate their comrades as well as their rivalries. Chaos is by it's very nature, chaotic but it is not without it's own rules and expectations, true they are in flux, they can bend and break and they're flexible but they are there in their most basic form and it is what lets Chaos occasionally work together, that people can predict and understand their comrades, even if they don't like them. It's much like the world's most hostile work environment where you hate somebody because of their patron deity even if they're occasionally alright. As for the idea of passing the title of GM around, I'd be more than ok with running alongside even just one other person, I just wouldn't want to go it alone. If anybody else wants to hop on the GM bandwagon though, I'd be ok with that, it's not like we need everybody to be on-board with this.

If something text based comes up, I'd be open to applying as a player. Oath-broken warband would get my interest above other group concepts, but it's a suggestion, not a requirement. <a href="http://i63.tinypic.com/2uhbo8k.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i63.tinypic.com/2uhbo8k.jpg</a>

I don't want to chase people off and I'm not sure what everybody else would like to do but I'm dyslexic and so honestly I'm not really largely interested in games which are only text-based as it's not really easy for me to keep up. If that's what everyone else wants that's fine but it's honestly not really what I'm looking for personally.

Yes. I want AT LEAST an audio only weekly/Bi-Weekly game.&nbsp;

No issues with that, text only sort of loses the character.

*bump* Just seeing if there are still those that are interested in a round robin game of Black Crusade.&nbsp;
