About the adventure
"In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, you are completely expendable." Deep beneath the hive city of Tertium, a heretical rot is festering. The Moebian 6th regiment has betrayed the Imperium, unleashing a horrific Nurgle plague that turns citizens into slavering Poxwalkers. You aren't legendary Space Marines or elite Inquisitors. You are Rejects—convicts pulled from a prison barge, handed a flashlight and a shovel, and told to earn your redemption in blood. Your mission? Descend into the Snake Stack, a titanic, rust-choked cargo elevator sinking miles into the toxic depths of the hive. Your goal there is to recover a cogitator. That's what they tell you, anyway... So why did I mention Poxwalkers above? You're in no position to ask questions. Just do as you're told! If you fail, the hive becomes your tomb. The odds are stacked against you. You will need to work with your teammates and play off of each other's skills in order to survive the hordes. Lock and load!! The Emperor protects... but a Chainsword definitely helps. 🎮 Why This Campaign Is For You! • Completely Beginner Friendly: Never played Wrath & Glory? Perfect! This campaign is a built-in tutorial. We will learn the rules together step-by-step as we play. Though there is a large focus on combat, you will need to use all of your skills to navigate the world, its hazards, and it's inhabitants! • Official Foundry VTT Experience: We are using the fully automated, official Cubicle 7 modules for Darktide Extraction -- automated dice pools, tracking macros, and so much more! The VTT does all the heavy lifting for you. • Living Hub World: Interact with different factions in the Hive and decide who you help and who you betray. Your decisions have an effect on what you have access to. • Import Your Video Game Hero: Do you play the Darktide video game? The official module we're using lets you instantly import your actual video game character into the tabletop RPG! If you want to do that, I'll teach you how! • Short Campaign: No long commitments -> Just long enough to get a good idea of the system if you're new, and an interesting new take on the game system if you're an experienced vet! ** There will be an opportunity to switch to a full Wrath & Glory campaign afterwards if you want to continue with a new character and a new story! ** 📝 Game Details & Expectations • System: Warhammer 40,000: Wrath & Glory. You will play as a Tier 2 "Reject" in this Campaign and we will use archetypes (classes) similar to the video game. Choose from any of the Core Rulebook's Tier 1 or Tier 2 archetypes, or play as an Ogryn Warrior! • Tone: Gritty, action-packed, cooperative sci-fi survival. You will need to navigate the world hazards and negotiate with the different factions you encounter. Actions you take will have permanent consequences throughout the rest of the story! • Sessions will be approximately 3 hours long with a 5~10 minute break around the halfway point.

About me
Hi! Like many of you, I enjoy playing TTRPGs in my free time. Being a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos, my first experience with RPGs was as a player in Call of Cthulhu. I have since expanded into other genres of TTRPGs as well. Occasionally, I do enjoy just bashing enemies and being super powerful, but most of the time I prefer when characters are more human. I enjoy the story, atmosphere, and the dread of knowing something may be around the corner that can't be dealt with using brute force alone.

Creating your character
We will make characters together during our special $5 Session 0 - which will include gameplay to get you used to the system! (Pre-generated characters are available if you don't want to make your own character.)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The only thing you will need is a Discord Account and a mic. Discord will be used for all the Audio (and video if you're using a webcam). Players will be expected to have their mic on during the session. Having your webcam on is preferrable, but it is NOT mandatory. If you don't want your webcam on, we will respect that. I will be running this game on Foundry VTT, but you do not need an account. I will send the link to join my game server via Discord. The link will open my Foundry game in a web browser.
What Keeper_Chris brings to the table
I will provide everything you need to play the game! Including the rules, character sheets, and even digital dice if you want! We will be using the official Warhammer 40K Wrath & Glory Core Module for Foundry VTT along with the official Darktide Extraction module so that you will have the best experience possible! I love to build the atmosphere and enhance my players' immersion in a number of ways: I use visuals (tactical maps for combat, images, reference material, etc.) as well as audio (sound effects, and ambiance), and lots of description for the theater of the mind exploration sections! But most importantly, I will provide the story and the excitement, and customize it to your unique play style!

How Keeper_Chris creates a safe table
This campaign deals with horrific creatures, body horror, violence, and even character death. HOWEVER, I do not describe anything in great detail. If at any time you are uncomfortable, please use the digital X, N, & O's. We will also have a 5~10 minute break about half-way through the session. I will have my Discord up throughout the whole session. Feel free to private message me anytime during the session or during the break with any concerns. You can also message me after the session if there are any changes you would like to see for the next session. I want everyone at my table to enjoy their time playing!
