OOC: Terror in Talabheim

[vampirehunter42]

Ok I'll finally start a game. This is based off a "Warhammer fantasy" pre-written game I have been reading. But changed enough to play safely.


Set in the city of Talabheim, several adventurers are hired to do some minor odd jobs find themselves much deeper into an event nobody saw coming. (note: this game gets dark, and will take your characters to their limit)

Recent history in the realm:
The war with Chaos is ending, solders and others are returning home. Some are welcomed by loving families others find nothing but burnt ruin. Some ran from battle, others are all that are left. Talabheim being on a major triad route, is a place where many try to restart their life. Or hide behind it's large natural walls.

This is a low magic world. And people are superstitious lot, they find anyone out from the "normal" as dangerous.

To fight Chaos they have to have their Ships. If they have ships the Eldar should.

[vampirehunter42]

She looks ok, only problem is I meant for only one point to buy into the secondary profile. But I'll meet you half way and allow 2.


Ok for others who don't know about the Warhammer world. Check these out from wiki it will give you some of the history of the world. I have a number of books on it and take a lot for granted.

I've taken some off my main profile. And can Eldar be allowed as to fight Chaos the Imperium needs space craft. Of course the Mon-kiegh ships are going to be poor quality but all the same. Note: I keep Eldar.

[vampirehunter42]

Oops, sorry. I didn't tell you it is "Fantasy" not "40k". So no you can't use Eldar. I personaly keep Dark Eldar and have an Imperal Guard army on paper. I just need the money to buy it.
