Dark Heresy 2e: Welcome to Chaos

About the adventure

Whether through exemplary service, unique skills, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, you have been inducted into the God Emperor's holy Inquisition. However, you have yet to truly prove yourself to the man holding your leash. A suitable mission has been found to prove your... capabilities, whether as an asset or merely a meatshield. The world of Siren's Den is, like most paradise worlds, a decadent one. Awe-inspiring skyscrapers of marble and glass have been built upon the toil of countless menials, all working themselves to an early grave just for one more day of corpse starch rations. The world's diverse fauna and flora has given place to a sprawling medical industry that supplies the rest of the sector, their miracle drugs capable of extending a human's natural lifespan as well as de-aging even the most time-worn face. It's only naturals for alarms to have been raised, then, when more and more of these invaluable shipments have begun to go missing. Arbites have been dispatched to deal with the situation, but the Inquisitor believes that darker forces are at play. You will enter the planet as mere civilians, shrouding your true allegiance unless absolutely necessary. Great things are expected of you, acolyte. Do not disappoint. ~~ Thought for the day: A suspicious mind is a healthy mind. ~~

Additional Details

How to prepare

Webcam will not be necessary, but microphone is a must. Players will be provided with all the materials necessary to learn the rules and system. It will not be obligatory to read everything, but at least a rough understanding of the combat and key systems such as skills and talents will be required for session 0. No physical items needed due to the virtual nature of the game.

What I provide

Modules for combat visuals with explosions, wrecks, and fires, macros for ease of play, hand-picked music, and custom maps made by myself through Dungeondraft.

Gameplay details

Session 0 will consist of everyone introducing their characters in an OOC manner, discussing any remaining questions about rules, and playing a small combat encounter so everyone can get accustomed to the various mechanics and kinks of the Dark Heresy system. A 5-10 minute break will happen once per game to get drinks, go to the bathroom, stretch, etc.
