Imperium Maledictum : The Dark Heresy a Mythvveil Chronicle

Creating your character

Character creation takes place before Session 1 through a guided process on Discord and Foundry VTT. You don’t need any books or rules knowledge — everything is provided, and I walk you through each step personally. You will create an Inquisition-selected operative: a specialist chosen for your origin, creed, skills, and scars. Attributes follow the standard Imperium Maledictum rules, but in Mythveil campaigns, who you are matters as much as what you can roll. Your home world, belief system, patron, loyalties, and past decisions all shape how the Macharian Sector reacts to you. All core careers and species from the official rulebook are allowed; no homebrew is needed. Your background choices tie directly into the living sector simulation: factions remember you, contacts shift, and your alliances or enemies may rise during downtime. By the end of character creation, you will not only have an operative — you will have a place in the Inquisition’s web, a past that pulls forward, and a future the Sector itself will answer to.

Preparing for the session

No previous Warhammer 40K or Imperium Maledictum experience is required — both new and veteran players are welcome. All you need is curiosity, a stable mic, and the courage to step into the grimdark. We play on Foundry VTT with Discord for voice and coordination. Character creation happens before Session 1 through a guided process, ensuring every acolyte fits seamlessly into the Inquisition’s ranks and the living sector simulation. All rolls, combat, investigations, and social encounters are handled directly in Foundry. Handouts, ambient sound, and cinematic visuals bring the Macharian Sector to life. Between missions, you’ll follow sector updates, rumors, and shifting faction agendas through the Influence Matrix on Discord. You don’t need books or prior rules knowledge. Everything required is provided during onboarding. Bring your faith, your ambition — and be ready to serve.

What Dunchan Hunter brings to the table

Every Mythveil campaign is forged from deep research across every era of Warhammer lore—core books, lost editions, overlooked supplements, and forbidden fragments. The Macharian Sector is a living organism: factions maneuver in the dark, the world shifts between sessions, and your Influence can open archives, expose cults, or ignite wars. Tactical battles burn bright, play-by-post threads keep the story alive, and every choice echoes through a sector that refuses to stay still. This isn’t a campaign. It’s a breathing chronicle of faith, fear, and consequence.

Homebrew rules

This campaign uses two custom systems to make the Macharian Sector feel alive: The Influence Matrix – Every major faction (Imperium, Xenos, Chaos) acts during downtime between sessions. Their actions shape news, rumors, and mission difficulty. Player choices directly influence which powers rise or fall across the sector. Living World Simulation – The Macharian Sector evolves in real time. Planets change hands, cults spread, alliances shift, and the Inquisition reacts to your success or failure. No two campaigns are ever the same. These systems ensure that every mission matters — your victories echo across the stars, and your failures leave scars on the galaxy itself.

How Dunchan Hunter creates a safe table

Your safety and comfort come first. Before Session 1, we hold a short onboarding session on Discord to discuss tone, themes, and personal boundaries. We set Lines & Veils together in conversation — no forms, no pressure, just clarity and trust. During play, we use a single safety tool: the X-Card. You can activate it at any moment, by voice or chat, for any reason. When the X-Card is used, the scene stops immediately and we shift, fade, or reframe without questions or explanations. Pausen sind jederzeit möglich. If something feels off, overwhelming, or emotionally heavy, simply say so — we pause, talk, or adjust immediately. You can also message me privately at any time; I am always reachable for support. At the end of each session, we take a brief moment for optional aftercare: a check-in, a cool-down, or space to decompress after intense scenes. The setting may be grimdark — but the table is always safe, respectful, and built for you.
