[Churchofgaming] Churchofgaming Digest, Vol 40, Issue 7 [Dark Heresy]

Wed Nov 9 02:48:47 UTC 2011

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Jay and Michael asked me if I could provide a synopsis for the upcoming
'Dark Heresy' campaign, which will be hopefully starting sometime around
November 20th 2011 (TBC).  Will be my first GMing attempt in over 10 years.
 I am still looking for at least two other EOIs, but here it is:

Dark Heresy is a journey into the darkness of the 41st millennium.  You are
an acolyte working in service of the Inquisition of the Calaxian Sector,
standing on the front line of a great and secret war; to root out the evils
against the Empire of Man.  You will face witches, heretics and demons, and
your very survival will be amidst a web of conspiracy and betrayal.  First
adventure takes the acolytes to barbaric Iocanthos to investigate the
reported phenomena at the remote settlement 'Stern Hope'.  RPG system using
percentages against PC characteristics to test skill / combat outcomes.
 Sci-Fi Action / Horror Adventure with all manner of high and low tech
stuff, as well as ethereal and otherworldly features.  DH has a running
Fate, Corruption and Insanity Point tracker which will invariably affect
your characters along the way.

For further info see below.
