Autumn Conclave 2013 - WHW 28th September

[greenstuff_gav]

28th September 

i've submitted the news to Beasts Of War, Bell Of Lost Souls and Tabletop Gaming News and none of 'em have published it <_<
also done Warseer and Frothers (Danger!) so if someone could do Arkhan's Mind and Ammobunker for me that'd be great!

[Kaled]

I'll be there.

[MarcoSkoll]

I can post on Ammobunker, but what's the official line?

Is there a separate "event" for Dalthus and/or 28mm? Or is it just one giant hodge podge? I'm guessing the former will seem too divided for some and the latter too integrated for others.

(Not that I am trying to be accusative. I'm just not sure it'll attract everyone's interest one way or the other).

[greenstuff_gav]

28mm is welcomed and i personally would love inquisitor played at both scales, but to save arguments it'll be a case of both scales will be separate, identical campaigns and hand outs and plot, scores separate if only to stop mixing up both scales in the finales!
if people want to scale-hop during the day that's fine as well; of all people i appreciate when people make their characters in both scales!

[Koval]

I suppose that as it's not an official Bunker event, whether it fits into Dalthan continuity should ultimately be up to anyone that gets involved.

[MarcoSkoll]

One slight problem I've noticed while I was about to post on Ammobunker...

... the player pack does require "That each character has its own painted 54mm model and completed character sheet".

[Koval]

Tell them to ignore the "54mm" bit, or replace it with "painted model (at the intended scale)". If you put it up there in bright lurid neon purple they'll get the message

[MarcoSkoll]

Right - well. Posted. I used fluorescent pink though.

Apologies if I've missed or forgotten, but where does the Eramus Affair sit in relation to the current over-arching plot revival?
I think I'd like to use a few of the same characters, but if that's likely to lock them out of one or the other story, it'd be easier to write fluff with that in mind.

Also, I've just noticed, thanks to the deep background expositions popping up, that I was nearly tangentially involved in the later phases of the Amon-Dul saga, entirely unaware.
Continuity is fun.

[MarcoSkoll]

I'm not sure the Carthaxian narrative (as I am assuming at least the 54mm version of the Eramus Affair will fit into, at least by involving Carthaxian inquisitors, even if not expressly in Carthax) was ever really conceived as an extension of the old Conclave plots.
The concept and basic premise of Carthax was laid down by Kaled, who I'm not sure had an involvement in that older history. It's also off in the west of the galaxy, a long way from key locations to those old plots (like Terra and the Eye).

Add to that the revival is proposed as being around about 250.M42, compared to the current Carthax date of 013.M42 - well, I guess that's your answer: about 240 years earlier.
Strictly then, the two don't really become mutually exclusive. It's quite possible for a character be at the Eramus Affair, then two centuries later be in the revival (it takes hopping around the galaxy a bit, but that's not impossible).

Myself, I have been discussing (with Koval, we're developing characters somewhat in tandem) the possibility of using a Carthaxian Inquisitor to fit into this revival. It would help work around my personal inexperience of all these old plots, by using an Inquisitor who doesn't really know anything about them either, but gives me some tangible links to some of what I've previously developed.
The plot hooks are high enough profile (whoopsie going down on Terra is serious whoopsie) that even a Conclave on the fringes of the Imperium might well send representatives to stick an oar in. It works quite well, really.

What I've got in mind is that this character would have trained under one of my "current" Carthaxian characters - presently an interrogator, but by the time she's ~275 she could be fully ordained and also have (experienced) former students.

But I guess this is the wrong thread for discussing it.

[TheNephew]

That's handy, actually - I'll angling for a reasonably inexperienced tech adept, who can age gracefully into the conglomeration of respirators, data-jacks and bionic hearts I'm hoping to shoehorn into The Truth.
200 or so years as a recluse fiddling with cogitators and memory banks  should do it.

[Van Helser]

I have returned from my holidays and have been browsing the fixture list for the coming season, and it seems that on 28/09/13 I am due to be as far away from Nottingham as one can possibly be within the populated parts of the British Isles - an away fixture to Shetland RFC.  At the moment my involvement in the Autumn Conclave seems unlikely.

[Bloodpact]

Did you have any luck on any of the forums recruiting more victims of Angstroms displeasure players?

[greenstuff_gav]

none of the news sites published the news; don't seem to have picked up any more players from the forum posts either
less writing for me to do of course

[precinctomega]

Good news!

1) I'm back (sort of).

2) I'm coming to the Autumn Conclave!  Definitely 54mm.  Hopefully 28mm, too, if possible.

3) I'll see if I can't spread the word about the Autumn Conclave through my own network.
