  1. Samedi, c’était enquête inquisitrice au service de l’Omnimessie.
    #DarkHeresy

  2. Out of curiosity, has anyone run a #Warhammer40K (preferably #DarkHeresy) campaign set on a single planet?

    In most Warhammer 40K #ttrpg campaigns, characters tend to move from world to world. But I have come to the conclusion that I do my best GMing when I run my campaigns in a fairly restricted area which the PCs can explore in detail.

  3. Just played in the final session of our Dark Heresy campaign, a race to prevent various opposing factions from using a device to summon the Tyrant Star for nefarious purposes.

    I do not think my comrades appreciated Merik (my character) suddenly deciding to help Erasmus Harlock open a giant mirror built into the superstructure of a hive city, killing millions of people.

    Anyway, Merik got to retire to oversee a rogue trader's private library, so happy ending.

  4. I think my “bucket list” of grand campaigns I want to run someday are:

    Red Cow — Glorantha
    Great Pendragon Campaign — Pendragon
    Darkening of Mirkwood — One Ring

    Ones I’ve already done and would recommend:

    Modron March / Infinite Staircase / Dead Gods — Planescape
    Masks of Nyarlathotep — Dark Heresy
    Enemy Within — Warhammer Fantasy

  5. Last week, my PC (bookish Adept) noticed that the party tech-priest seemed left out of our investigations, so decided to help them do what *they* wanted for a change.

    A little later, we've hijacked a helicopter and crashed it into the top of the Arbites command tower, only to find a dusty room with a broken mirror, the daemon secretly possessing my friend screaming "what have you done?! You're too early!"

    So the GM is taking an extra week to fix the plot.

  6. I wasn't planning to post another #tiefling quite so soon, but I was at a friend's place playing in a #DarkHeresy game last weekend and the session was being dominated by another PC's family politics, so I just got to drawing...

    I draw too many characters with the same bland expression ('serene' if I'm feeling nice to myself), so I tried for a more energetic expression this time. I may have gone too far towards 'manic' though.

  7. Day 18: Favorite Game System

    Gonna call back to a previous post in this thread and say the whole fantasy flight warhammer 40k roleplay ecosystem is probably my favorite.

    It has a ton of options once you merge them all together. DH 2e character creation is super flexible. The aptitude system is a little confusing but gives you a lot of freedom in builds.

    It got the gear porn. You can get all kinds of Mark Whatever lasguns to fit your exact niche. It has rules for starships and social challenges and exploration and almost everything.

    I *like* bit and bobs and granularity and rules for everything. Hand wavy 'rulings not rules' or 'well how does your table want it to work?' as core systems tenets are annoying to me.

  8. Day 17: Funniest game you've played

    This is a tough one. I don't really look for humor in my ttrpgs. I suppose joke games are fine for a beer and chips type one shot, but I want largely self serious campaigns.

    Now. Don't be thinking I'm some joyless ice queen. I'm an ice queen with a healthy media diet and I'd be lying if I said we didn't have humorous *moments* in my games.

    So, finally, to get the the GAME this post is about, I think I'm going to go Dark Heresy and it's ilk again. 40k has parody in it's DNA and you can't get away from it entirely. Where else can you explode someone's head with a laser, their headless body catches fire and runs through their teammates, setting them on fire and cooking off all their ammo and grenades?? Shit's slapstick and hilarious, fight me.

  9. Day 8: Favorite character

    I love all my children equally :ms_headpats:​

    But seriously, for this prompt I'll pick one.

    I'm going with a really eggy character for me, my Dark Heresy Chaos sorcerer cult leader Viverea. I was tired of GMing, so we reinvented Necromunda but in Dark Heresy rules.

    One of my warbands was a single Psyker, with the Sorcerer talent, which let her supercharge her powers with dark magicks. The rest of the xp budget was spent on 'thralls' that took the Host-Bound package, which meant that any Psychic phenomenon would affect the thrall instead of the Psyker.

    So she would just also juice her powers to the max and let the expendable thralls suffer the consequences. Super fun to play and goals honestly. :sayori_like:​

  10. I think it's the sheer randomness of Fear checks in #DarkHeresy that amuses me.

    GM: "You see a portal to the warp open, from which a hideous daemon emerges, its face mostly a gaping maw of lamprey-like teeth dripping acidic ichor upon the floor."

    PC: "I stand firm, perfectly stoic as I carefully aim my next shot."

    GM: "That thing over there looks kind of creepy."

    PC: "I GIGGLE AND VIOLENTLY ATTACK MY OWN ALLIES."

  11. Playing #DarkHeresy (the #Warhammer40k RPG for Inquisitorial underlings) this evening. I play Merik Salk, a naive Adept scholar who would be useless in a fight if I hadn't rolled the Frenzy talent at character creation.

    We're currently locked in a crematorium, hostage to a rogue trader's evil puppet, and Merik has just fluffed a Fear check, so I'm kicking off by attacking my own allies.

    I drew Merik recently. I hope it captures his essence: armed and oblivious.
