Re: [imperium_40k] Thought this was interesting...

>WH40KRP is just gonna be another way for the munchkin kids (and adults, for
>that matter) to twink out.

I have to say I disagree. I've been lucky enough to play a game of 40K
roleplay (pre-inquistor, we used homebrew AD&D rules) with a mix of
Wargamers and Roleplayers, all of us Space Wolfs. Playing power armoured
space vikings is easy, and the wargamers 'got it' pretty quickly. Yeah,
there twink characters, but so's most of White Wolfs product line. It's not
as if theres a lack of source material for the 40k universe.

Come to think of it, the Imperial Guard game (using imperium) we played had
a similar mix of 'never roleplayed, only wargamed' and roleplayers and they
totally got into it, because everyone knows how snappable Impy Goo are.

I suppose any 40k roleplay game will only be as successful as the back history and knowledge of the players participating. Another important factor is actually...

They are treating pirates, marines, and aliens as supplemental character types. Along, most likely, with other characters of this type and nature. These are...

... True, but they aren't compulsory archetypes. They're just alternatives to playing an Inquisitor and his or her retinue. Imperium would work just as well...
