Event One update.

[Manius]

Lots to comment on again…ok.

Advertising has been done on LRPAlliance and I was sure I put a post on Rule7 (certainly had direct contact with them anyway).

Of course, more advertising would be great also so as members you can all help in this matter. Whilst advertising directly to a Games Workshops store would be a strict “no-no” due to copywrite issues that may arise…talking to local games workshop players should be fine. They’re a pretty tightly knit bunch (I know, used to be in a clique) so word will get round that way.

The Current Situation –

I am currently waiting to hear from Gunman on what Tuddenham can offer in the way of support (water, power etc). My thoughts are to offer an alternative event with Gunmans support, Rogue Trader based, with expanded character selection sets to allow Rogue Traders and the myriad of supporters they bring with them (as well as civilians).

This will permit players to book any character from an Imperial Guard officer to a Scavvy ganger. The whole spectrum.

Of course, I’ll need time to do this well so a Gunman event is likely to be either very late this year or spring of 2010.

Payments –

Members who have already paid for the Candlston event will be contacted directly with several options for the funds they have already given. These choices will be:

1) Full refund
2) Immediate Pre-book for a Gunman event with potentially a partial refund (Gunman costs dependant)
3) Funds retained for future use at Gunman event and other services (food supply etc)

A Gathering –

I will look into Airsoft weekend events which are nationally advertised. I will vet for suitability for 40k pre-enactors and post that as a potential “gathering” for all forum members in the future (hopefully before any event it held).

Forum Members…the system needs you!

Get kit together.

Remember that kit is essential to any LRP system but that doesn’t mean you need to look like a fully geared up stormtrooper! An LRP safe sword, springer pistol plus some “raggy” clothing and you’re a Scavvy-Ganger armed with a Las-Lock pistol and a machete!!

Please keep the comments coming.

I'll be getting kit together then!! In fact......I have all the kit I need and simply need to modify it appropriately (downgrade an AEG, add appropriate symbols/badges, find a hat....).

Its a good idea fella - I hope to hell I can attend.

(anyone want me to shovel nuts for a few quid? )

Your not going anywhere near my nuts!…







…I need them for winter.

(Your forum has a profanity filter - thats not what I originally typed dude :lol: )

Actually while I think about it we'll be playing under Gunman's FPS limits (I assume) so I shall be downgrading at least one AEG - might be something people need to think about. Or not

I wouldn't mention it normally but of course even a spring is £15+ these days......^^

[Manius]

In other news....

I have started re-writing the Core Rules and restructuring them. This might be a long job with some too-and-fro proof reading involved.

Basically, I have deemed the layout structure of the Core Rules was a bit confusing so I am moving sections about currently. For example, putting the combat system before the weapons seems to be more logical.

I am also removing ALL the Ver. IV character creation rules from the Core Rule document and replacing them with basic character creation rules based around Civillians, Gangers and the like.

There will be a dedicated SUPPLEMENT for Imperial Guard/PDF/Cultists as well as supplements for Orks etc. They will be readily available but their move to separate documents makes it easier for players to specialise and for any rules updates to be added at later dates.

Volunteers for proof reading would be appreaciated…LRP experience isn’t needed as the book needs to be readable and understandable for all players.

Lol! Ok I’ll let you off on that one then.

FPS limits, awaiting details but we shall all assume Gunman FPS limits will be adhered too. Are they much different from the GD ones (350fps for AEG’s)?

Prices...its why I still import, but far less these days.

[Cadet Commissar]

I'll volanteer for that, Anything I can do to help(even better if I can do it at work) the system along.

[slimshady]

I can proof read also - got plenty of time on my hands atm.

FPS limits are much like GD except you can use 370fps single-shot AEG's and up to 500fps Bolties. Sadly my L96 isn't particularly "in character" so if I can attend the MSG-90 will be coming out with perhaps an ex-guard scout character concept....or perhaps not

Hey guys,

If you've not already requested a booking form for the event that is currently in question please don't worry about that bit.

What is needed is for potential players to think about and see if they have the kit they'll need to come to a future event and be ready for the new rule set to be issued.

Civilian rules are being added now!! An easy way to enter the system as I have also included rules for even springer weapons (Las-Locks). We can now have a "ground up" system...where you sit in that depends on level of kit and willingness to Role Play really.

[slimshady]

Hrrm, not got anything yet - I'll shoot you a PM with my addy on.

I'm a way off having kit ... but I was always intending to go for a guard load out anyway so I'm sure I can fit it in (wonders of RP). Always had a thing for sniping though, so that's a path I would like to look in to.

[Gor/Strauss]

As Manius says, no reason you couldnt be PDF or civilian populace. Hell we already have some backfluff regarding Scarovian 'Skuttish' Irregulars. While kit is awesome to have, looking ragtag and not uniform has its uses also.

[cafraan]

Perfect, plenty of opportunity to come up with something fun.
