About the adventure
This is a game for those who appreciate or want to dip their toes in the amazing and often bizarre WH40K. We will experience it from the standpoint of the Imperial Guard. The system I use is based on Spire RPG (no previous experience needed), for its simplicity and story-oriented mechanics. Your team will be part of the grand plan of the vast bureaucracy that is the Imperial military. Characters premade, no preparation needed.

About me
DMing since 1995. Published author, writing coach, and narrative designer. I love worldbuilding, characters, and iteration. My games are usually a result of co-creation, partly my design and vision, partly the experiences of many players who left their mark on the game, sometimes by changing world events, sometimes by leaving memorable characters for other players to meet...

Creating your character
Characters premade. Players +1, so everyone can have a pick without being locked out of choices.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
No preparation needed. We will meet on my Discord and use OwlBearRodeo for map/illustrations/handouts
What GM Ranko brings to the table
I am providing maps, handouts, illustrations, and characters: predominantly role play, little to no combat.
Homebrew rules
I used Spire RPG as a base; it is a very simple system, with no prior experience needed. However, it is a player-centric one, so we roll the dice only when there are high stakes involved.
