About the adventure

This is the Age of Darkness. You have thrown in with the traitors. When the moment to prove your allegiance came, you were exultant... or perhaps ashamed. You covered yourself in glory... or maybe you disgraced yourself. Regardless, you were faced with censure due to the machinations of your rivals.... Yet no punishment ever came. Instead, you were summoned to the Vengeful Spirit. Now, you are called upon to join a clandestine cadre of operatives, handpicked by the most brilliant tactical mind in human history, Horus Lupercal, Warmaster of the Imperium: Assassins, saboteurs, enforcers, and emissaries, to be deployed whenever a mission is too sensitive, or too vital, for ordinary Legion forces. Become the Warmaster's hidden dagger, his dread will, his Sinistramanus Luperci. Armored in black and bearing the Eye of Vigilance armorial, let the galaxy burn. ///// This is a Horus Heresy 'traitor' campaign, run using Deathwatch RPG mechanics. Essentially, Deathwatch mechanics remain, but flavored as 'Agents of the Warmaster'. Free Session 0 with flashbacks to your glorious/loathsome rise to infamy! Q&A > Horus Heresy? Are we using the Good, the Bad, and the Alpha Legion fan-supplement? Yes! > Can I play as a traitor from loyalist legions? Yes. White Scars, Space Wolves, Iron Hands, and Raven Guard had notoriously Horus-loyal contingents. > What legions are represented so far in the PC squad? Night Lords, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, and Emperors Children. ///// Down with the False Emperor! Everyone is welcome regardless of race, identity, or creed. Down with ai! AI was not used at any point during the crafting of this story. Just good old hyperfixation and dozens of filled out notebook pages.

About me

I enjoy the ‘untold’ stories of our favorite sci-fi and fantasy settings, from the seemingly mundane to the dimension threatening…

Character creation

Creating your character

PCs will begin as rank 1, with 15,000xp to spend during character creation. Players can use the Good, the Bad, and the Alpha legion horus heresy fan-supplement, alongside the core Deathwatch rulebook, for character creation. Additionally, we will also include the ‘Passions’ segment of character creation from the Black Crusade RPG.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need a couple of things for this adventure: Discord - for communicating. ROLL 20 - for play.

What Alecander brings to the table

> A fun cast of allies and leaders > Original baddies to fight > Varied objectives and encounters > A story about ambition and power

Homebrew rules

Players will chose to embrace or reject the dark powers of warp. Should they chose the patronage of the increasingly powerful entities from beyond the veil, rules from the Black Crusade RPG will slowly but surely creep in...

Safety

How Alecander creates a safe table

Not everyone is comfortable sharing their concerns and vulnerabilities at Session 0: Once the campaign is active, I'll provide you with a google form where you can outline, among other preferences: > Anything you would prefer result in a 'fade to black' > Anything you don't want to experience or see portrayed at all, for ex. the loss of bodily autonomy. Our game will have a scheduled break and an Open Door policy.
