Dark Heresy Options

[Sweaty Hippo]

This is a Warhammer 40K game where you play Inquisitors in service to the Empire of Man. It is not a war-game skirmish like other Warhammer games, though.

It is grim and gritty, where death can be just around the corner, and having your body, mind, or soul in peril is enough to end your career.

I have checked out the book, and it looks promising, although my biggest problem is that in the 40K universe, there are no real good guys, and all the major powers have performed horrible actions that makes it hard to sympathize with them. It may not be good for all groups, particularly ones that love to save the world, or play "shining exemplars of justice."

But the game looks at first glance to be really cool, and can handle games that are not "pit armies of mooks against each other." Not to mention that the game is so hardcore, even the NPC butchers carry electric chainsaws connected to giant batteries on their backs (and those are just used for cutting meat)!
