About the adventure
"The Emperor protects, but a loaded lasgun and a reinforced trench line don't hurt either." Welcome to the ass-end of the Imperium. You are stationed at a remote outpost settlement that the galaxy has seemingly forgotten. The planetary governor has died without naming a successor, the local bureaucracy has collapsed, and the astropathic choir hasn't heard a whisper from Sector Command in months. You are the Astra Militarum, and you are all that stands between thousands of terrified civilians and the encroaching horrors of the dark. How We Play This campaign pushes the Wrath & Glory system to its limits, focusing heavily on teamwork and environmental awareness. Command & Conquer: You will direct NPC squads, manage settlement resources, and make decisions that impact the survival of the entire colony. Tactical Grit: Combat is lethal and requires smart use of cover, suppression fire, and combined arms. The Human Element: Not every problem can be solved with a heavy bolter. You will need to negotiate with local gangers, ration supplies, and maintain morale among a desperate populace. Who Is This For? ! New Players are Welcome, we start at Tier 1. This game is for players who want to experience the true weight of command in the 41st Millennium. Strategists: If you love base-building, resource management, and setting up overlapping fields of fire, this is your campaign. Roleplayers: Step into the boots of officers making impossible choices. How many lives is a single generator worth? Guard Players: Experience the Astra Militarum beyond being cannon fodder. You are the thin plasteel line.

About me
This section asks to list my experience GMing and my experience with tabletop games. This almost baits me to brag, so the following answer is in matter of fact fashion, to the point. - "Tabletop games" is a broad category, so I will skip Monopoly, Scramble, Mafia, Splendor, Fallout, Cards against Humanity, Uno, Carcassonne etc. Only to say, yes, I thoroughly enjoyed those games. - Started off at school as Warhammer fan, but I found I liked painting minifigs with friends way more than core rule-book games. I liked communal aspect, and connection, so I gathered them, made it a point to schedule during year 9 and 10. - Hosted D&D club back in middle school and high school (GCSE and A-levels for my fellow Brits), we ran classic dungeon crawls in 3e, had a blast painting minifigs, organising and hosting all whilst introducing new players into the hobby. - Throughout university years and up until now, hosted TTRPGs both in private and public groups (Uni clubs and local Game stores wherever I happened to live at the time), ever since covid run campaigns online via Discord. - D&D 5e, WoD (including Mage the Ascention, Werewold the Apocalypse 3e, and Vampire the Masquerade), from Talsorian: Witcher and fully chromebooked cyberpunk 2020. Overall, I am a classic forever GM, who even got to play here and than, as most of my players ended up graduating into GMs, each for their individual reasons. I love people, and I love gifting them with fleeting connection of private good times.
