Wow, man, for a guy in a thread that's all about talking about "Power Metal: The Role-Playing Game", you sure seem upset at a silly storyline. Ever considered that Warhammer 40k isn't really meant to be the setting to play the deepest, most meaningful campaign ever?

I agree, excelsior's game sounds really awesome and I think it's perfectly in keeping with W40K.

Then again, I love Through the Fire and the Flames only a little bit ironically, so V:smith:V

Ehe. Chilli sauce is yummy. I'm going to slather all my food in chilli sauce. Actually gently caress that. gently caress food. I'm just going to have chilli sauce. Anything that's more meaty or complex than chilli sauce - gently caress that. It'd just get in the way of my appreciation of that most 'power metal' (:regd10: :shibaz: :kamina: :thumbsup:) of foods. By the way, 40k isn't even 'power metal' - it's 'baroque, over the top gothic', which comes with its own particular and distinct set of assumptions.

Yeah, stop having fun wrong!

Wait a minute, are you saying that being metal as hell and not providing player agency are the same thing? 'Cause I don't get that at all. [E: Just realized that you're saying that we, excelsior's defenders, are conflating a lack of agency with being metal. Well, that's certainly not my position.]

This blog post right here has some good ideas about player agency, and I'd recommend it.

Has anyone played a Dark Heresy hack of Maid RPG? I've read of people running one-shots of it, but can't find any information on how it actually plays.

I have this sudden urge to run Rogue Trader less as grimdark Star Trek and more as a grimdark spacefaring Pirates of the Caribbean.

Imagine this as the campaign theme song:

:black101:

Read The Buccaneers of America for inspiration. For instance, did you know that if you are starving on an ill-planned jungle trek, you can cook and eat a leather bag? Alexander Exquemelin will tell you how! :yarr:

It also reveals how major pirate expeditions would make the big bucks. Basically, you lay siege to a wealthy town (planet), kill the defenders, spend a few days drinking and raping and ransacking, then ransom the town (planet) back to the local governor - taking everything that isn't nailed down as you leave. Lots of people will try to hide their valuables from you, so make sure to torture them so you don't miss anything! :eng101:

Oooh! Oooh! I know! Maid RPG! Fair warning, there's a lot of creepy anime bullshit written into it, but it's easy enough to throw that stuff out.

Tell me more. :allears:
