- You are an Acolyte in the service of the Emperors' Inquisition. You stand in the front line of a great and secret war where your duty is to hunt out the foul stench of heresy, the vile alien, and the twisted influence of Chaos. You will tread where others fear, venturing to distant planets, ancient space hulks and the unsavoury depths of the under-hive.
You will never know fame nor reward, yet if you stand resolute your deeds will be whispered to the God-Emperor of Mankind and your name will be revered for millennia.
Dark Heresy is the roleplaying line from Fantasy Flight Games based on the grim far future universe of Warhammer 40,000 from Games Workshop. The Dark Heresy core rulebook contains everything you need to start your adventure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. So, you want to be a part of an Inquisitorial Squad. You want to serve the Emperor of Mankind and eliminate all threats to humanity. You want to bash in the brains of aliens, destroy cultists, and help the people?
Well, I suppose you came to the right place.
Dark Heresy takes place in the 41st Millennium. You can become an elite hand of the Emperor's Inquisition, focusing in combat, stealth, technology, and psyker abilities.
Running on a d100 system, rolls for skill checks and fights becomes a whole lot easier than the standard d20 (at least in my opinion). Your two best friends are your d10s. Love them, use them, kiss them, make love to -- okay, not that, not that.
If you're interested in the adventures of the non-space marine kind, this is your game!

| Dark Heresy Wikia A general Wiki on all things Dark Heresy. Haven't personally used it, but I'm sure it has most information you need from the books.
Lexicanum The Lexicanum, the main, unofficial resource on the 40k universe. Good for learning the ins and outs of the universe. Also has some information just on Dark Heresy.
Character Generator A -very- basic character generator. Gives you the basics for a character, but not any sort of description on what traits and talents do, so you'll have to look those up in the books or possibly on the Wikia above. I've used this a few times, and it works excellently.
Character Sheet A character sheet template that most of us use. The link should direct you to the PDF download. | |
