My players seemed to latch onto an NPC last session from an entry in a spreadsheet another NPC made about her where all they had to go on being a name and "Just a weird lady who's apparently keeping a fucking tiger for a pet?!" but time will tell if she's actually memorable.

For NPCs players have actually remembered, the least I recall doing is pull out a monster statblock from a deck of monster cards and wrote "There's one of these here." and, due to how the PC in the scene interacted with the monster, he became memorable to my players that they occasionally bring them up and wonder if they should try and find him. So... I've done memorable NPCs from barely more than a name and a picture before that I just "Yeah, let's put the anthro rat statblock into the tunnels under the city" and didn't think about him more until a character decided to talk to him at which point I had to decide how to play him in the moment.

Intrigued. Played a bunch of systems here and live but never any WH. Pretty sure I can meet the post rate easy enough, but just how heavy are the rules compared to other tactical RPGs?

As this is also a d100 system, I'd compare it to Call of Cthulhu - but heavier. 10 Stats, two dozen Skills and bunch of Talents to start. Most of the math is on GM's side however. PCs just have to say what they want to do, possibly choose their rate of fire, and that is it. The main "challenge" is with calculating all the modifires for the roll.
E.g. if your Ballistic Skill is 30, you want to roll 1d100 under 30. But, if it is a single shot from up close and you have time to aim, you'd have +30 to your skill, so suddenly you have 60% chance of hitting. The enemy still may dodge that and reduce the damage by his armor and toughness - but that's solely on my side. Like I said earlier - it's pretty intuitive once you grasp it.

Hey SGoYT-people. What a great and inspiring month this is so far. I love to see so many different games posted. It's the morning of October 19th (at least here in Germany) and we're still at a 40+ ratio of posts each day. Try to keep that pace to bring it into the hall of fame of the aggregator :).

Thanks for posting and spreading the variety of solo-gaming!

I'm sorely tempted, but I think I need to focus on the games I'm running for a while! Good luck, and I hope this lasts a lot longer than our Mothership game :(

I surely hope so too...

Would be honoured to play, but alas my life right now doesn't allow me this luxury. 😐

You introduced me to WH40K, so that would be absolutely my honour! But I understand- life gets into way often
