What can I say, I've never been one for keeping up with current events. After a period of community beta testing it has been released and now it's time for me to pick it apart.Īlso yes, I'm aware its been out for MONTHS and I've only just gotten around to reviewing it. Now Fantasy Flight have decided to release a new edition, bringing the game more into line with the rules in Only War and Black Crusade. Over the years plenty of sourcebooks have been released along with the spin off's Deathwatch (dealing with the Space Marines of the namesake organisation), Rogue Trader (exploration and conquest on the edge of the Imperium, think Star Trek via Warhammer 40,000, yes its as awesome as it sounds), Only War (the Imperial Guard and the thankless, brutal campaigns they wage against the Imperium's enemies), and Black Crusade (the Forces of Chaos and the inevitable descent into horror and corruption.). The original game came out about 7 years ago and had a somewhat fraught release, being released, cancelled, and then picked up again by Fantasy Flight games all within 24 hours. Naturally there are people who have created more detailed and medically precise charts. It's a game of investigation, horror, brutal violence and looming insanity, fun stuff! It's also renowned for the unforgiving nature of its combat system and having 8 pages dedicated to critical damage charts, with results ranging from losing a few fingers to being reduced to a greasy crimson smear.
By this point I'm going to assume my readers know 40k (or have at least read the TV Tropes page), and with that in mind.ĭark Heresy is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe that places the players in the roles of Inquisitorial acolytes, serving the aims and whims of that mysterious (and terrifying) organisation, investigating rumours of heresy and apostasy, and fighting the eternal war against the Enemy Within, The Enemy Without and the Enemy Beyond. Today I'm going to review a book that I've owned for quite some time now, the second edition rulebook for the Dark Heresy roleplaying game.
