About the adventure
Beginners are welcomed ! -📰-Synopsis-📰- The capital hive city of Charybdion, Aidon, has its Imperial Governor missing and presumed dead... And not only that, a series of mysterious murders threatens to destabilize the succession. The hunt for the killer will take you across the hive, from its luxurious heights to its darkest depths and bowels... This is an adapted version of the Dark Tides & Graveyard Shift adventures, mostly set on the ocean world of Charybdion. You will investigate mysterious murders, uncover heretical plots, and navigate the tension between power, faith, and survival in a system on the brink of collapse !! -🪖-Who are you -🪖- You begin at Rank 1 and may choose any Tier 1 archetype. The campaign will progress to Tier 2 around the midpoint of the story. You can be an Agent of the Imperium, part of a warband serving the powerful Rogue Trader Jakel Varonius, one of the few figures capable of bringing order to the isolated and dangerous Gilead System. You can be a hive scum from Aidon who wants to protect their home and prevent the colapse of the Hive. Or anything else you can think of, I like to talk to my players about their characters before the first free session, so we can create a character you will remember fondly. -😈-The Vibe of the Game-😈- This game has a bunch great roleplay opportunities, and deadly tactical combat. Expect intense social encounters, difficult moral decisions, investigative elements, and brutal fights. This is an adapted version of Dark Tides & Graveyard Shift, and it will expand into other missions and campaigns. If you are a fan of horror you will enjoy it even more, as I love to focus on the grimdark and cosmic horror side of the 40K universe.

About me
I have been playing RPGs since I was 10 years old, when my older brother invited me to join one of his games. I fell in love with roleplaying almost immediately and I have never stopped playing since. I studied Game Development and Film Production. I love writing, traveling, and playing games of all kinds, with a special place in my heart for RPGs. You will quickly notice that I am very creative and energetic, which naturally led me to the GM seat. Building worlds and crafting stories is a true passion of mine. Working together with you to create a story that you will always fondly remember is one of the most rewarding parts of the experience for me. My friends and players often describe me as a diplomatic and thoughtful GM who genuinely cares about everyone’s enjoyment at the table. I am a good listener, and I always aim to create a welcoming, fun, and engaging experience for everyone. I lived in Dublin for three years, where I studied Film Production and English. I have now been GMing for 27 years now, and I GM for people from all over the world for more than seven years now.

Creating your character
I have a discord text channel so anyone can discuss the party composition and the characters they want to create. And if any player wants to enter in a private call to create their character before the session, I will be happy to help. My adventure in the VTT has an official module of 40K, that you can easily create your character in the game. I will suggest as well details that you can add to your character that would fit perfectly with the main plot of the adventure, therefore creating characters background tied to the main campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The only necessary things to have are: A Discord Account, a headset / microphone, and a browser (chrome, edge, firefox, safari, etc)
What Pedro-GM brings to the table
I will provide all the necessary books for you to create your characters, and I will gladly help you through the entire process. I love doing character voices and creating detailed maps for my games. I also have a great repertoire of ambient music to help with immersion. (You can always lower or mute the music if you prefer.)
