Completed weapons list for In The Emperor's Name 3.0
« on: February 11, 2016, 08:25:22 PM »
In the past I've been slightly bitter about how one of my favorite games "In The Emperor's Name", got a third edition that was shiny, but unfinished. As well as 3.0 never having an updated version of the 2.0 "Retinue" (army) book, my other complaint was the oddly unfinished weapons list which I've now completed and have posted for your downloading pleasure on our club's forum in PDF and DOCX formats:

http://www.chicagoskirmishwargames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=106

The list is mostly the same as the one hosted on the ITEN 3 website https://iten-game.org except on the "official" list, all grit modifiers are inexplicably absent from any weaons alphabetically past "K". I brought over the missing grit modifiers from version 2.0 and recalculated the point values. Hope someone finds this useful.

We're giving the third edition of the rules a try tonight and if we stick with it for more than a couple games I might even do a partial update of the 2.0 Retinue's document (army lists) to 3.0 rules.

ITEN is such a nice set of rules and elegant mechanics (later adapted to "In Her Majesty's Name") that it's a shame to see it continue to languish.

Thanks for the kind words Jan,
Much Appreciated!

The game itself went well.  No pics, but it was a marines vs squats, vs Arbites (using Void figures) loot hunt and the Arbites dominated the game.  For those willing to mess with recalculating 2nd edition profiles to 3rd edition points values I have to give 3rd edition generally positive review. There is still some ambiguous rules regarding running, but overall the mechanics, wording and points values have been nicely tweaked without any major changes to the rules.

There's a good chance we'll play it again in the next couple months.

At some point me and my buddies will give this a go. It'd give us a chance to breathe new life into our 40k mini's.

This and inquisimunda are on the list to try. Especially as one of them is building a stealer cult!
