About the adventure
In the grim darkness of the 41st millenium, the Imperium of Mankind is beset without from countless forces, of xenos origin, the horrorific chaos of the warp & more. But is is the enemy within that is the most dangerous of all, eating away like a rot from the inside of the Imperium. The unclean, the corrupt & the heretics turning the masses of humanity away from the Emperors light. But there are those truly loyal to the Imperium, who seek out these forces hiding amongst the huddled masses of humanity. The Inquisitors of the Ordo Hereticus, the witch hunters of the imperium. You are the shadows of the Ordo Heriticus, & the primary weapons of a powerful Inquisitor. You are the sight of their eyes, the might that wields their hammer, & the terror that fills the heart of every traitor to the Imperium. But Heresy does not sleep. You must steel yourself to purge the traitors with flame & faith.

About me
I'm an LBGTQ+ game master with over 15 years of running role playing games. I specialize in the horror genre, like chronicles of darkness, but also run lore centered D&D & super hero games. If you enjoy over the top action which has you spitting in the face of death, then you will enjoy my storytelling style. I like to compare the types of games I enjoy running to buffy the vampire slayer or supernatural. My favorite games to run are Chronicles of Darkness, Sword Chronicle, & Forgotten Realms 3.75(pathfinder 1e using the 3.5 setting) I am a full time game master as well, so even if I dont have a game listed you are interested in, I am free & open outside of those times for custom game requests.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be created using Warhammer 40k Imperium Maladictum's foundry character creator, & will draw upon the following contest modules - The core Imperium Maladictum rules - Inquistions players/GMs guide - Macharian Requisition Guide Character generation will occur during a zero session with everyone present. This is as much to make sure we all mesh as a group of people as it is to make the characters, backgrounds & get everyones equipment setup. We will also discuss lines & veils for the game(please Private message me ahead of time if your uncomfortable with expressing these in a live chat). For those that join later, a one on one onboarding session will be scheduled outside of the normal game time to make you a character. Afterwards communication & further background info will be conducted with everyone via a discord channel on the server I use. No character's will be approved prior to the zero session. This includes pre-generated characters, & all players will be required to meet the same character creation expectations of the table, which may vary from group to group.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A discord account with quality microphone that allows for clear communication without undue background noise & a stable internet connection. Those who are operating on mobile hot spots will not be fast enough to stay connected with foundry. A PC that can meet the requirements to run Foundry Virtual Tabletop. Netbooks & chrome books I have found in the past do not meet meet these requirements. Familiarity with the Imperium Maladictum rules is good but not required.
What Dean brings to the table
I will be supplying the Foundry VTT for use with our game, with all the basic rules of Warhammer Fantasy Role Play 4th edition input into it. Full custom graphics & NPC interfaces I've programed for it specifically.

How Dean creates a safe table
Most sessions will be a mixture of investigation, role playing & combat depending on where the current story is going. Combat is also very dangerous, so characters becoming injured or close to death isnt impossible. Sexual content will always fade to black if it occurs, & will never occur between player characters unless all involved players consent. Lines & veils will also be honored & set up ahead of the chronicle via discord chat, so that I can fine tune any plot content to avoid things players may not want to face in game. Additionally, I am always online via my discord both during & outside of game should you need to bring something to my attention, whether thats a veil thats being approached too close or something makes you uncomfortable.
