Beast in the Dark | Dark Heresy Enhanced | Save the Hive City
Dark Heresy 2e | Campaign
About the adventure
Its the 42nd Millennium and throughout the galaxy there is only war. But our story will not focus on the battlefields of humanity. Rather we turn to the unassuming world of Shaedon, a Hive world of immense value. On there you have been captured, your crimes deemed so great as to call upon the judgement of the Arbites themselves. But just as you were dragged out to a Penal Colony or worse, strange creatures assaulted your prisoner convoy. You were the only survivors. The burning wreckage unfortunately attracted the attention of a far more dangerous beast. An Inquisitor, the beautiful and mysterious Lara Covetus. Interested in your ability to survive against the odds she offered you the chance for redemption. In return all she asks in your eternal service in saving the planet from xenos heresy and beyond.

Had a great game with Ash! A few technical issues around but were quickly fixed or passed. Kept the story moving, definitely wanted to keep rolling but would have been a bit long for a one shot. Had fun! Thanks!

Extremely patient with the party and cleared all my doubts as a first time player (and they werent few). Very good narration and descriptions at time of play with interesting enviroments and challenging but fair combat encounters. Accomodated the loot and shops soo everyone could have something tailored to them. And hes also a chill ass dude

Pretty cool game, chill guy and was not hard on the rules. The plot was simple and easy to understand and the vtt was really cool with lots of potential. If you're looking for a simple and easy time, then I recommend playing with Ash.

Ash is very good as a GM. He gives players a good amount of freedom and is able to create interesting stories together with players. His gaming sessions were all very entertaining for me.

A great GM if you're looking for a beating
Wolf Pix
If you can mind the autism he's a pretty great GM. Very accommodating, knows his stuff, and makes some pretty great worlds and stories.
Additional details
How to prepare
Just a mic, discord and owlbear accounts, and a patient and focused mind.
What I provide
VTT, Custom maps and tokens and art, music, voice acting (maybe), and infinite patience.
Gameplay details
I'll make sure every player knows what they are in for, as in a brutal world, and I will allow them to leave if they ever feel uncomfortable, I will make sure the session 0 demonstrates these enough so that players can make a choice whether to stay or not. At no point will a player be forced to sit through what they do not want to sit through.
