What is a STGOD?
"Gunslinger indeed. Quick draw, Bob. Quick draw." --Count Chocula

"Unquestionably, Dr. Who is MUCH lighter in tone than WH40K. But then, I could argue the entirety of WWII was much lighter in tone than WH40K." --Broomstick

"This is ridiculous. I look like the Games Workshop version of a Jedi Knight." --Harry Dresden, Changes

"Like...are we canonical?" --Aaron Dembski-Bowden to Dan Abnett

Structured TGOD (That requires much explanation.) Basically a freeform roleplaying game done via Text on SD.net or ASVS.

Oh...Okay.

Is there somewhere that explains the TGOD part?

Go to Games and Computer, we have about 6 or 7 STGODs on record and one is being played right now.

I think I have just imagined the new companion to the Machine Cult.

"His word is law, and you shall know the Law and Fear."- yes the cult of the imperial beurocracy, entangling it's enemies in monowhips of red tape, and catacan paper forms (which proceed to grow in length as you attempt to fill them out.....)

I could go for an online 40K RP myself, though my lack of Codexes means that I'm a bit bereft of some of the finer details. My fluffiness comes from online sources and the novels.

Despite my Chaos-lovin' here, I'd probably end up with Imperial Guard.

Oh, and remotely on topic, Imperial Guard surfing would probably be like everything else they do... high casualties galore.

"My god, we lost one quarter of our strength just getting dinner!"

"Welcome to the Imperial Guard, son."

I'd be interested in a little STGODding, although I'd probably need some help. *Reads Gaunt's Ghost and Ciaphas Caine novels again*

Or if anyone's interested, we could do a 'Freefall' RPG, which is not as structured as a STGOD but not as loosey-goosey as a random TGOD.

Okay, next step. I'll stroll on over to the G&C forum and start a thread on the possibilities.

Still up for GMing us something, NecronLord?
