Please, grab some coffee, ask some questions! Just remember to not ask any heretical ones!

Here I'll answer any (reasonable) questions I forgot to answer in the descriptions, as well update on the current characters we have and need.
Currently need: 5 players, all classes are open for play.

[Dave Syrinx]

I'd give it a try. Space is big enough to let me make a few mistakes...
I'll read up on the background.

[TheVaultTech]

I completely forgot to cover Psykers.

I'd recommend the Edge of Darkness scenario be read, as it contains quick start rules

[Dave Syrinx]

How do we roll our characters? 2d10 per stat?
I´m ready to get the gear on and go dirt side.
Checking weapons. Clear!

Ready for the drop.

[TheVaultTech]

This is a good place to gen characters. I'm actually more familiar with GM stuff than character creation, but I'll check the book asap


Edit: Copy/Pasted from the book to mitigate err on my end

Charactersitics
Characteristic Bonuses
Each Characteristic has a corresponding bonus. A
Characteristic Bonus equals the tens digit of the score. For
example, a character with 41 Strength has a 4 Strength Bonus.
Generally, Characteristic Bonuses are used to determine
success in situations or tests that have variable results. See
Chapter VII: Playing the Game for more details.
GENERATING
CHARACTERISTICS
All Characteristics are generated by rolling 2d10 and adding
the numbers on the dice together. This done, you add a
modifier determined by your Home World. These modifiers
can be found on the Table 1-3: Generating Characteristics
table. Do this for each Characteristic until you have results
for all nine. When recording your Characteristics on your
character sheet remember to write the first digit of the number
in the circle. This is so you can see what your Characteristic
Bonuses are at a glance.
Since you are playing a character that is expected to be a
cut above the rest of humanity, you may re-roll any one result.
Should you choose to do this, you must keep the new result,
even if it is worse than the old one.
Table 1–2: Characteristic Benchmarks
Score Significance Examples
10–15 Feeble A small child’s Strength
16–20 Poor A Grox’s Intelligence
21–25 Inferior A feral worlder’s Fellowship
26–35 Average Average range of all humanity
36–40 Superior A hive worlder’s Fellowship
41–45 Great An Ork’s Strength
46–50 Magnificent An Eldar Corsair’s Agility
51+ Heroic A Daemon’s Willpower

For your own safety, don't post characters here, send them to me via pm.
Sorry, fault on Vault's end

[TheVaultTech]

After GMing this campaign for a couple of my friends, I'm confident that I can do this effectively- albeit with a bit more humour than usual

Edit:Erm. A bit late,I suppose, but Dark Heresy has a similar agenda as PARANOIA; so don't post your characters here-unless you're suicidal

[TheVaultTech]

Well.
I might have to retcon this because of heretics blowing stuff up.
Also lesbians and mold have caused me to reconsider the setting of the game.

[Dave Syrinx]

get back with a vengance! I get ideas all the time. Sometimes tbey work. Sometimes they don't.

[TheVaultTech]

Nevermind, best setting ever.
I'd detail the awesome that just happened in-game, but that would be spoilers.

I shall be following this with interest, I am a big fan of the Dan Abnett books - especially the Eisenhorn and Ravenor series and the new 'Bequin Trilogy' (Pariah: Ravenor vs. Eisenhorn, is the only part as yet published).

I shall be in orbit.... virus bombs at the ready, praise be the Emperor!

[TheVaultTech]

Praise the Emperor!
I just hope I get enough players. Five may be a bit too many for a start game, but I'd like a few people to work with and kill help.
