Game Overview

This is a play-by-post of Dark Heresy exploring the incredible Haarlock's Legacy trilogy. Written by Alan Bligh and John French, the scenario explores many of the old ghosts and horrors lying in wait at the very foundations of the Calixis sector. It's also all but outwardly stated that the material in the adventure will be at the core of the upcoming Owlcat game.If you're on the discord and you want to join, just give Kaiser a shout.

  • Current XP is 4,900

BONUS XP

  • 100xp - One big bonus for some establishing backstory piece

  • 50xp - You can get one bonus per scene of character art (doesn't have to be OF the scene but it is encouraged, you can also claim it retroactively)

  • 50xp - You can get one bonus per scene of gift or collaborative art (same retroactive rules apply)

  • Tailwind rule still applies. If anyone ever gets 1K ahead of baseline XP, their bonus also applies to the rest of the group. So you can aggressively do art / writing to power up the whole group if you had a mind to - but you certainly don't need to.

House Rules

Overall, I tend to run games that reward creativity and helping fellow players tell their stories and enjoy the campaign. With that in mind, my rules are mostly technical.

  • Everything within the FFG rulebooks is free-game in terms of material. For more detail on character creation - reach out to Kaiser.

  • Unnatural Characteristics simply add a +10 on top to a stat per rank, rather than DoS for successful tests

  • You may exchange one aptitude at the end of an arch to represent character growth, but you need to produce some kind of creative work that supports this new change in direction!
