Dark Heresy?
We just got this role playing game in at the card/hobby store where I work. Does anyone know if it is any good? If you guys havent heard of it it is just Warhammer 40,000, D and D style....

It looks pretty cool...but I have know idea which game it is more like.
You are an Acolyte in the service of the Emperors’ Inquisition. You stand in the front line of a great and secret war where your duty is to hunt out the foul stench of heresy, the vile alien, and the twisted influence of Chaos. You will tread where others fear, venturing to distant planets, ancient space hulks and the unsavoury depths of the under-hive. You will never know fame nor reward, yet if you stand resolute your deeds will be whispered to the God-Emperor of Mankind and your name will be revered for millennia. Fast character creation to get you into the game quickly, followed by a lifetime of possibilities with an expanded advanced careers system. Dynamic rules for all eventualities th at let you handle everything from social interaction to deadly fast-paced combat, p.sykers and p.sychic powers to insanity and mutation. Comprehensive background on the Calixis Sector, the official setting for Dark Heresy written by best-selling Warhammer 40,000 novelists Dan Abnett and Ben Counter. A galaxy of guns to equip your acolyte, from lasguns to inferno pistols, chainswords to power blades. Pitch your players straight into the midst of dark events with a complete adventure to get you started.The Dark Heresy core rulebook contains everything you need to start your adventure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. |

I've heard it's great, but seeing as how GW is squashing it now, well, I guess it depends on how much support you want for the game. If the sole book is enough for you, I say go for it.

This is the RPG that most everyone that plays W40K has been waiting to see. The Inquisition is a great setting to play in the 40k universe and like mrbistro stated, the intelligent minds at GW decide to stop making it right after it is released. Not taking into account that it sold out on the online store from preorders alone.
I want to pick it up just for the background information and it fits in perfectly while enjoying the Eisenhorn and Ravenor novels. Excellent novels if you are looking for something to read. Newb. |

Re: Dark Heresy?
Had to Necro this thread since FFG picked up production of Dark Heresy. I've ordered all but one of the books for the RPG. I'm a glutton, horrible with my money, and a confectionist. I'm working on my 2nd time through the main rulebook as we speak. This world is amazing. The level of detail and immersion they put into it. The ability to remain somewhat dark, or allow you to delve into the very pit of demon worship/ the warp is great. I can't wait to get this out over break when all the guys come back from college. I'm sure we'll be playing every night after work for the duration of break!
