This edition of Dark Heresy has pretty much been shut down and replaced with Dark Heresy Second Edition. Check the Dark Reign link at the end of the page for this kind of material, should playing ordinary people with balls of steel be beneath your dignity. However, there are also several player-created supplements dealing with additional career paths like Adeptus Astartes or xenos races like Orks. So, if you want to play Spess Mehreens, Farseers or Fire Warriors, Dark Heresy might not be for you - get the Inquisitor, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, or Black Crusade additions to fulfill your Mary/Marty Sue/Stu fantasies. Some anons have expressed dislike towards Dark Heresy due to the limited power-level, as the current official ruleset does not allow players to assume the roles of Spess Mehreens (with the exception of the Grey Knights, but the splatbook that introduces them warns you that letting the token Ward fanboy play one may lead to overpowered game-wrecking bullshit if not done very carefully) or any aliens, since those characters would simply be unfit for this kind of gameplay.
However, whilst the official adventures focus on inquisitorial investigations, the authors themselves have acknowledged the ease of relocating the game's focus to other aspects of the 41st millennium, such as an Imperial Guard platoon where all player characters are soldiers in one of the many warzones. From the feral world warrior to the hive ganger, from the inducted Guardsman to the detached Sister of Battle. Holy fucking hell, did boiling bone marrow just turn my femur into a frag grenade? Fuck.Īll player characters are supposed to be human acolytes working for the Inquisition, although they may come from many different vocations. Just start a campaign, wing it, and whenever anyone gets a good hit, roll on the critical hit charts. You don't even need the rest of the game (although it is all good, it's just a LOT). It has the best critical hit charts ever made. All kinds of worse things can happen - being eaten by xenos or hungry daemons, afflicted by Chaos mutation, and if you are especially unfortunate. It is to 40k as Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is to Warhammer Fantasy Battle, and indeed uses a very similar system.īasically you're fucked like in WFRP, only instead of dying from blood poisoning caused by a dirty pitchfork you get to have your innards blown across the wall and then subsequently set on fire by a plasma gun (probably your own). Dark Heresy is a RPG set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
