2) Rolling dice for yourself is not required I think; GM will do it for you if necessary. The random element can of course make it very interesting for yourself, and it's by no means prohibited.

That's how I figured it out. I was about to write that I "calmly look into the barrel", but then thought maybe he doesn't. How should I know? So I rolled =)

To be honest, if the test didn't work out, I'd still be tempted to write this, but it worked out OK.

RE: Autogun. Got it. This doesn't look like a concealable weapon:

I guess I have it strapped on my back or something.

Edit:

And maybe sooner :)

I'm sure that if a fight broke out between the PCs, the Inquisitor would pick just that moment to enter the room and defuse the situation, right? Well, maybe I shouldn't be relying on the rule of drama, but it feels right.

I was about to write that I "calmly look into the barrel", but then thought maybe he doesn't. How should I know?

Generally speaking, when your character starts to come alive (in your head, at least), you'll simply know. Others might argue, and you might not always be right, but as long as you go with your gut feeling, you'll at least be true to your character.

I've had characters say and do extremely stupid things because of this, which is actually hilarious since it's the only true course of action :)

[Klear]

Yeah, of course. I suppose it's like any other form of writing, which is something with which I have a lot of experience.

I had a feeling he'd be able to stay calm and RNG agreed, but I'd hate to play too much of a badass. Somewhat more ordinary guys are much more interesting IMO. I'll roll dice whenever I have a feeling I'm writing something I want him to do rather than something he'd do.

Edit: Also, I'm really excited that we've started at last and getting I'm bored now that we're taking a break. I guess it's time to return to playing DoomRL =)

[LuckyDee]

I had a feeling he'd be able to stay calm ..., but I'd hate to play too much of a badass.

If you're a ganger, you're going to at the very least have to pretend to be a badass, which amounts to the same thing in the current situation. And yeah, you can tell you write a lot.

Signing out, catch you later.

[Silhar]

If you really, really want to roll dice for yourself, use this and post links in spoilers.

BTW. I'll post later, now I'm off to church. Cya.

[HexaDoken]

Hey guess what! I am back!

EDIT: Made a turn.
I guess we should now slowly start ending the conversation... or just stop it in a single sentence, whatever will fit more. Then we would resume the game by the moment our dear Inquisitor appears(Silhar, we are looking at you). And, guess what - I have to afk again!
Will be back in half an hour or so.

[Silhar]

Take a chill. He'll appear soon... or?

[Klear]

I have some work to do and then maybe a pub to be now, so if you want to continue with the conversation, you can consider MkLear disinterested in continuing it - smoking and ignoring others (this doesn't mean you should say something to him and then make him look like as asshole for ignoring you though).

BTW, I'm already regretting naming the character with two capital letters. I keep writing it MKlear or Mklear... I guess I'll get used to it in time (or he'll die, either way I win)

[LuckyDee]

Found the IRC. I think HexaDoken was right, especially when you're trying to clear things up, IRC might be a huge blessing.

[LuckyDee]

As per the bit about Awareness, fair is fair. It's not about which tests you succeed and which you fail at, it's about doing what your character should be doing.

[HexaDoken]

Also, I _DO_ have Awareness. I just mistook it as a talent rather than a basic skill and posted in wrong category :P Fixed now.

Check page 4 of the thread.

EDIT: Silhar, informing you that we now all have IRC, and I've set up a channel #DarkHeresy on irc.quakenet.org. Altho, the channel is not registered, and if it will be left unpopulated, it will vanish, but hell, whatever. Can be still brought back easily.

As a general request, try to inform about your turns there. My IRC client will make a nice sound signal every time you do, while forums do not. Due to being busy with intence gamworking, I couldn't notice the few turns that were made in time. That is quite dissapointing. I would be easily able to reply if at least one of you dropped a line in chat.

[LuckyDee]

@HexaDoken, in regard to your request: I don't want to speak before my turn, but there are multiple reasons for this not to make sense. Even if the technology's available:

* We are at a shrine of some kind. I don't expect a terminal to use will be present. You have no equipment with which to do this yourself (or at least it's not listed)
* You are a Guardsman, not a Technician. You have no skills to use whatever terminal may be present. It doesn't make it impossible, but really difficult at least.
* You're from a Feral World. Chances are very high you can't even read/write. Not only that, Feral Worlders have a notorious distrust for technology.

I'm not saying that what you're doing is wrong, but it is highly unlikely. Likewise, you don't have to defend yourself against me, I was just wondering if you are aware of this, as it is quite a big difference between the character on paper and the character in play.

[Klear]

I was quite sure I read somewhere that there is something akin internet in the Warhammer universe, but when I searched for any mentions of it I got nothing. In any case, there wouldn't be anything about the inquisition there even if it existed, I'm sure of that.

Re: IRC - I recommend to subscribe to the relevant threads, so you can get email notifications when something happens.

Edit: BTW, any news on Tavana or anybody else who might be joining mid-game?

[HexaDoken]

I have a mini PDA attached to my right arm. Hey, if I would just go to the nearest terminal and start operating with it, that would be too much noticeable, wouldn't it?

Indeed, I am a guardsman, not a technician. That doesn't mean that I can't use terminals whatsoever. In our real life, one doesn't need to be a technician to open a browser and fire up a google search, does he? He won't be actually able to hack Pentagon, but that isn't what I did.
Actually finding something is a different story.

I am from Feral World, yes. But that doesn't mean I can't learn things. And that doesn't mean I distrust technology. That is USUALLY aplicable to feral worlders, but not always.
Honestly, my world isn't really Feral. But the Feral type was the closest one. My world isn't populated enough to be a Hive, my world is too harsh to be Imperial, and my world is certainly not Void born. I think it stands somewhere inbetween Feral and Imperial.

[LuckyDee]

Ok, clear - I was just wondering...

In our real life, one doesn't need to be a technician to open a browser and fire up a google search, does he?

Don't forget that, like Silhar said, we are living in a technological Dark Age. Don't take anything for granted...

[EDIT] Tech-Use is an advanced Skill (so impossible to do without training)
