*Upcoming events!*

*Primarch day [10:30am Saturday 5/2/22]*

"Your humble Emperor of Mankind demands your presence."

Primarchs is a Diceless Roleplaying Game that has previously run between
and around the other events at camp. But not everyone can make a Camp
Event, so we are looking to make a day of it.

The system we are using is heavily based on Amber Diceless, a political and
roleplay heavy system where conflict resolution is not about chance, but
about playing to your character’s strengths and leveraging situations to
your advantage. This system thrives most when players are working towards
their own goals, and you may find yourself in direct competition, or
conflict, with other players.

Characters will have a Stat Rating, which will determine how effective they
are in broad areas like Strength or Smarts; and Advancements, which will be
Focuses or Specialisations. The Strongest Primarch will win a nondescript
bout of strength, but if you’ve specialised into Wrestling or Grappling,
you can probably put the hurt on just as well.

A how to play Primarchs Document is available here:

As part of character creation, the system runs an Auction to determine Stat
Rankings. This will be held a week beforehand on the *Saturday, 29th of Jan
at 5pm.* Players have until then to send Winslade a starting Bid.

You can still participate if you can't make the Auction. You can submit
your Bid as your Final Ranking, though you may miss out on the chance to be
the best Stats.

There will likely be some Pre-generated characters available (Actual Number
to be confirmed).

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to a friendly GM,
Winslade or Cam, over Discord.

This is a one-shot meant to be accessible to as many people as possible. If
you are looking for deep cuts on 40k lore, you are unlikely to find it.
Factions may behave differently to how you expect, characters may be
sillier, and people (GMs included) may make less than optimal decisions.

This is not the Grim Darkness. The goal is to have fun and create fun RPG
stories.

and go from there.

Hint 2: I can support up to 10 players.

Hint 3: You take your turn by playing a card or passing.

Hint 4: The table is reset at the end of each round.

took!
