About the adventure
Join us for a game of danger, mystery, and brutal violence set in the decaying far future of Warhammer 40,000. You will take on the role of a defender of humanity and embark on hazardous adventures into the dark heart of the 41st Millennium. As an Acolyte of an Inquisitor, you’ll serve at the front line of a great and secret war to root out dangers that imperil all of humanity. A lowly innkeeper channels her grief and the weight of her trauma into a mysterious mirror. The diary of a slaughterhouse worker offers a glimpse into the madness of a hive city falling to chaos. An Interrogator of the Holy Ordos comes face to face with the unexpected on a deserted void ship. A pair of Imperial citizens run afoul of a mythical creature they thought was just a legend. These are all tales of heresy in the forgotten alleys, shadow haunted forests, and labyrinthine corridors of the million worlds across the Imperium and the cold darkness of the void. These anathemas and more need you and your fellow acolytes to cleanse their foulness, in your Tales of the Inquisition.
Dark Heresy is a game where together we explore different kinds of stories than those of the space marines or other superpowered heroes of the Imperium. These are street level tales of the 40k universe. Noir mysteries. Shadowy tales of intrigue and horror. As acolytes of an Inquisitor of one of the holy Ordos, you will experience the many varied worlds of the Imperium and the tales of it's citizens, as you seek out the heretic, the xenos, and burn out the infection of chaos.

Additional details
How to prepare
All you need is a decent microphone and a desire for an amazing story! Video is available, but is not required. The first session will be free
What I provide
I will have Roll20 ready with maps, artwork, handouts, and full ambient music. I will also have PDFs available for any players who need them.
Gameplay details
I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.

How will character creation work
We will discuss characters at session 0. There is no charge for this introductory session. If you prefer to create ahead of time, prepare 2 or 3 characters of different types so we can ensure a good balance of characters in the group. You can create in Roll20 or offline, and you can make your own or use a premade.
