So I have an idea, and that idea is to steal adapt the Dark Heresy mechanics for a StarCraft setting rather than Warhammer 40,000.

Instead of Inquisitorial acolytes fighting mutants, heretics, xenos, and daemons, you have a UED team fighting....mutants (changed by alien DNA or tech), heretics (rebels, including the Dominion), xenos (zerg and protoss, natch), and daemons (xel'naga qualify, IMO). And possibly upgrading themselves using zerg biology or protoss tech.

Timeframe would be between Queen of Blades and Wings of Liberty.

Or, I can do Dark Heresy with an Ordo Malleus inquisitor.

Ask questions in this thread. If there's enough interest, I'll post another OOC thread for chargen, setting, etc.

I find the Starcraft idea super appealing, mostly because it is one of my favorite games, but also because the world is interesting. We would probably get to choose from the many different infantry terran units, like Marauder, Marine, Ghost, Firebat maybe, Medic maybe, Reaper and Spectre. One thing that I am wondering about is the upgrades and abilities. In the first Starcraft game you spend your credits to upgrade your units abilities to make them stronger. Basically they start off vanilla, but quickly transform into fancy units with powerful abilities. What I am wondering is how that would transfer over into RP Starcraft. Would we have 'missions' that we played in and every time a mission was complete we would get some credits to upgrade out weapons and stuff, or would we already come with some of the abilities and just run the game in an open world type thing?

You'll do missions, get resources and experience, and get equipment and ability upgrades.

Marine, Medic, Ghost (long-range assassin), possibly Spectre (Imperial Psyker). Possibly heavy armor like Marauder, Firebat, or Reaver.

The main thing is to look at the Dark Heresy classes and do something with them that will fit into StarCraft, and I am more than happy to help out with that.

Sounds interesting. Lurking for moar info.

Colour me interested

Never played DH, but have vague idea about the system. Love the Starcraft idea, though!

Same, would especially be interested in a Starcraft idea.

Who will we be working for?

United Earth Directorate.

Will we be going straight from one mission to the next, or will jobs be available at our leisure?

I am sure there will be downtime between missions for various consequences to start showing up.

How much longer will we have to wait before we can start building characters?
