About the adventure
The Gilead system is cut off from the rest of the Imperium, and Gilead Primus is facing a rebellion. The Gilead Gravediggers have cast a wide net, snatching up able bodied men and women to serve in their penal brigade to help break this siege. What flimsy or deserved crime landed you in this position? Will you earn a pardon from the officers pushing you onward to battle? Will you find out what lies within the heart of this rebel hive city? ---- This is an introductory Tier 1 Adventure using the Wrath&Glory system for Warhammer 40k. The game will be played over Discord voice chat and using Foundry VTT. Prior experience with either the game system or setting is not required, everything can be taught and access to the rules systems will be provided while the adventure itself can steadily introduce a newcomer to the grim darkness of the 41st millennium. For those more experienced in the setting know that characters will be human Imperium characters, drafted into a war and forced to fight. Through this perhaps they will become heroes, perhaps they will be key to save the hive, and the rest of the planet. The adventure will span multiple sections, steadily leveling up the characters and developing their abilities, along with their allies, relationships and selection of enemies to fight. Content will be combat and roleplay heavy, battlemaps and engagements provided, as well as story, soundtracks and support.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen over the Discord server after the player has signed up for the game, or over messages on SPG. For inexperienced players the process of building a character will be explained and walked through. More experienced players, a discussion to make sure we are both on the same page as we make your character. Characters will start this adventure as Tier 1 Imperial characters. Guardsmen characters are not required, as the 'recruitment' process has drawn from a wide selection of backgrounds.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
When joining a link to a Discord server will be provided. This will be used for voice communication during session and any text communication needed before then. Here we will handle character building, initial introductions with myself and handling lines and limits in private. No other outside program will be required, and a link to the Foundry game will be posted on the Discord so that everyone can join when it is time to play.
What Thomas brings to the table
I'll provide players a fun story line partly drawn from some pre-published adventures and expanded out to make a connected adventure. This story can and will be affected by player choices and I will weave a narrative satisfying for the players, as well as giving them tactical challenges along the way.
Homebrew rules
Currently no specific homebrew, though custom archetypes and talents can be created to help players make their dream characters.

How Thomas creates a safe table
At the start of a campaign I am sure to talk with my players about what can come up in a game, as well as the players limits. From there I will do my best to tailor the experience to everyone's liking, and keep everyone comfortable. However if at any point a player finds a topic uncomfortable they can message me direct me to let me know, and we can adjust as we go. Each session will end with a quick talk with everyone to ensure everyone is having fun and not being made uncomfortable in any way.
