Zond Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This sounds incredibly fun and I've never done anything like this before. Unfortunately I have no idea what to use as an inspiration, there's just so many things to draw on. Happy to make things more challenging by having someone else pick the source material a la Jim Butcher and the Codex Alera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpmiss Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 My goodness, this sounds like fun! Although, I have never delved into this part of the forums until now (just so the event in the right side of the forum, haha) so I'm an absolute n00b. HPL/Cthulhu Mythos was the first thing that came to mind but since there's already a couple of entries related to that I will think whether or not I want to try something different. By the way, does it have to be strictly inspired by literature? If not, how do we put up our vows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one based off of furies would be great. Your fury determining your chapter role. How different fury aligned chapter masters alter the chapters path Do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, does it have to be strictly inspired by literature? If not, how do we put up our vows? First off, welcome to the Liber. We are a great (niche) group down here Mythos is easily a great place to start, there is so much to draw from. I am confident you wouldnt clash with anyone else. Plus when there is enough HPL chapters including another 2 I want to write, I want to write a Mythos Crusade story. Nope doesnt have to be literature but as we are writers I suspect that will maybe be more in abundance. To vow with non literature just state what best fits. AKA look at Dragon Age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpmiss Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Ooops, I forgot there was a Dragon Age entry already. Silly me! Not sure about what route I'd take with the Mythos, but the first thing that I can think of is that my favorite story (Shadow over Innsmouth) already seems to have inspired a 40k faction! (GSC) :sweat: And the Chaos Gods already remind me a lot of the Mythos' Great Old Ones/Outer Gods. :sweat: :sweat: But you are right, there's so much stuff in the Mythos to draw from! Plus, I have a physical copy of the Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia to help me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I actually own a 1st edition :ssh: ) Oooohhh, a first edition! I think I may have an idea brewing! How about a Necron dynasty inspired by Robert W. Chambers' King in Yellow? I also thought that something like Harlequins could fit nicely but I like Necrons much more and I'm thinking Hastur could work as a C'Tan-like entity.

Archivist Thaddeus Kryptem Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 This is a brilliant idea, count me in :) I, Inquisitor Van Horn, of the Celestial Knights take up the Challenge.

I vow to support my fellow challengers to the best of my ability. May the Emperor himself curse me if I fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zond Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Well I've been mulling back and forth and I wantes to give Xenos some love but I didn't have it in me this time. And the Dresden Files is a fantastic setting but it was lacking an iconic hook unless every Astartes had a a leather Inverness coat and a stetson. There are many other popular wizards however... I, Zond, of the Disciples of the Phoenix, take up the Challenge.

Warpmiss Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I haven't forgotten about this! In fact, I spent the weekend thinking about how to approach this. So here I go:I, Warpmiss of the Carcoss Dynasty take up the Challenge. I vow, before my brothers and sisters of the B&C to complete one Index Xenos inspired by the work of Robert W. Chambers and submit it to the Liber. I vow to support my fellow challengers to the best of my ability. May the C'Tan themselves curse me if I fail.I will provide a link as son as I start the topic.The name is a bit of a placeholder, though. None of my ideas seemed very appealing at the moment.
