About the adventure

In the grim darkness of the 41st Millenium there is only war... Tristus II - The largest moon orbiting the Kelevor Gas Giant is home to some of the Imperium's many Agri-Colonies - filled with farmers, shepherds, and processors. For centuries the simple farming colonies across the moon have lived simple lives of labor and reverence, drawing little notice from the Imperium, or its many enemies! But now an invasion by the heretics of the Brotherhood of Filth have brought great terror to the Colonies, only furthered by the arrival of a second, even greater heretical fleet calling themselves the Slaughter Knights of Harverator! Now the Agri-World is caught in the middle of a war between the Ruinous Powers! The Astra Militarum has dispatched a great force of the Imperial Guard to recapture Tristus II and purge the Heretics from this fertile Moon once and for all! Among the forces dispatched to the Tristus Campaign are a group of green recruits, fresh out of training. Will this squad be up to the challenge? Will they have what it takes to stand against the heretical tides of the Ruinous Powers and the strength to burn them in the righteous fires of the God-Emperor of Mankind? Or will they -like so many authors-be another set of tallies on an ever-growing list of casualties. The War for Tristus II is an Only War RPG campaign made for players of any experience level. Whether you are new to the game or a veteran you are welcome to come and explore the universe of Warhammer 40,000 as soldiers in the Imperial Guard -common men and women drafted to fight against the Imperiums myriad of foes. You do not need to have any prior knowledge of Warhammer 40,000 to enjoy this game!

How to prepare

Players should have a microphone and a stable internet connection, along with a Discord account and a Roll20 account. I will be happy to share the Rulebooks with everyone! It is recommended that players read the rules ahead of time.

What I provide

My playstyle focuses on player decision making as the focus of the stories in the world. As a DM I will provide a series of mission setups and briefings, and then it will be up to the squad to determine the best approach to completing their objectives! I use custom-made maps and tokens, for the world and small scale-skirmish combat and important encounters, but like to use theater of the mind for random encounters, larger battles and simple interactions. We will use Roll20 gameplay and Discord for voice/organization! I occasionally use voices for my NPC's, but I admit I'm far from a trained voice actor! As a DM, I like to adapt my style to the expectations and desires of the player. On average, my games tend to have a blend of tactical map-based combat and looser theater of the mind battles for large-scale fights. I will most commonly be using Rules-As-Written, but I am always flexible and will happily listen to players suggestions about something they want to try.

Gameplay details

I always use a Session 0 to ask players what they want out of the game, and what their expectations are for me as a DM and for themselves and others at the table as players. During this session we will talk about the campaigns themes, playstyle's, and a brief overview of what to expect from the world and in-campaign events, and discuss any taboo's or topics that any player would preferably like to avoid. I also have an open-door policy for all my players. I will provide them with my personal Discord username so that they can contact me about anything they are feeling uncomfortable or anxious about, whether before, during, or after the game!

How will character creation work

During Session 0 we will create the Regiment that the squad will belong to as a group using a voting process. Afterwards, those who feel they may need further assistance with character creation can meet with me to create their characters, while those who feel more comfortable can make beginner-level characters on their own. Character sheets will be kept and updated through Roll20.
