Healing “On the Job”

• Physical, Mental, and Systems stress boxes, as well as Minor Consequences, clear at the end of a scene.  This represents injured people performing basic first aid and repairs to their augmentations.  If time or necessity prevents this they do not clear.

• Feel free to adjust and tweek Aspects as you see fit over the first few sessions.
• As for Aspects, try and have at least one Aspect tied to each of the following: at least one other Sigma-6 team member; a personal drama or situation outside of the group; some trait or element of your character that will inevitably bite you in the ass; and building on the theme of loyalty, some Aspect that may challenge your loyalty.
• If you have a desire for something (weapon, cyberware, software, gear) let me know between sessions (here or e-mail) and I’ll set it up.
• This campaign is going to be VERY character driven and a lot of that will be happening right here on-line.  Discuss the kinds of missions your characters would be interested in as well as your team and individual goals.  From these comments and discussions I will be building missions and situations.
• On the same note this will be the place to discuss what you are doing during “downtime” and that may also lead to mission opportunities.

Hope you guys are all excited and I’m looking forward to Mondays.

• Brother Konrad: Tactical Marine of the Black Templars chapter.

Over the coming weeks I’ll post additional Aspects for each of the Battle Brothers.

This game is set in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennia and is based on the Deathwatch RPG by Fantasy Flight Games.  We’ll be utilizing the Strands of FATE rule system, a FATE 3.0 based game published by Void Star.

Characters, dice, and accessories will be provided. No experience with the rules is necessary but players should be familiar with the Warhammer 40,000 setting.

Update: In the coming weeks I’ll be posting more information about this game including:

• Pre-Gen character previews and backgrounds.
• Rules for Warhammer 40K, Strands of FATE.
• Mission information and intel.

Hope to see you at DunDraCon in February!
