The system is solid enough, but it has not aged very well. I find that the second edition has improved the rules more often than not.
I disliked the way the book was organised: it floods you with numbers and wxplains how those numbers work 100 pages afterwards. It is too rules heavy without highlighting their unifying mechanics and that makes them seem a bit arbitrary. It is brutal and unforgiving at combat but is also made as a combat heavy game, because..more
I love though when I go to stores and see people buying the book, knowing they'll play using my translation!
In this one you play minions to a Inquisitor, not part of his or her retinue or party. No, you are a faceless drone that is part of their network, looking into things on their behalf, usually without any other backup than the rest of the player party. So expect death tolls to be high.
The game has a high investigation focus, but as always there is also a high action and combat focus as well. But horror is right up there, for you will stumble upon things waaaay above yo..more
I am having _so much fun_. A friend is running a DH campaign, unsurprisingly I've opted to join the ranks of the Adeptus Mechanicus ;-) Cyberpunk 2020 is still my favourite setting (and Traveller and Paranoia second and third) but DH is giving them a run for their money.

It does lose a star though as the system is definitely showing its age. There are a ton of redundant skills and talents that seemingly do nothing. Still, the system does work pretty well...more

- 1Description
Description[edit]
In Dark Heresy, the player characters are agents of the Inquisition.
Gameplay[edit]
The players assume the role of a group of Acolytes working for an Inquisitor, who sends them on various missions. Depending on the type of mission, the gameplay can involve investigation, combat, intrigue, or a number of other genres. Therefore, the Game Master can tailor his campaign to suit his player group. As the players work for an Inquisitor, most missions involve rooting out heresies or matters relating to them, but the breadth of the game allows for many other missions, including wiping out dangerous gangs, gathering evidence of corruption, dealing with alien threats or eliminating rogue psykers.[2]
Career paths[edit]
Each player can pick a career path for his character, which is similar to a class from other RPG systems such as D&D. There are 8 career paths in the core rulebook, and more added in several sourcebooks. They are:
Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy Pdf
- Adept - A career path devoted to knowledge, logic, and analysis, though they are not very effective in combat and not always good in social interaction.[3]
- Arbitrator - Members of the Adeptus Arbites, the elite Imperial Law upholding organisation, are effective both in investigative skills and combat.[4]
- Assassin - These skilled killers excel in both combat and stealth skills.[5]
- Cleric - Clergy of the Ecclesiarchy train in a wide range of abilities, but excel at motivation and leadership.[6]
- Guardsman - Although the name of this class usually brings to mind members of the Imperial Guard, it also applies to mercenaries and other soldiers; they are skilled warriors who can also operate vehicles.[7]
- Imperial Psyker - This class represents an individual with psychic powers, able to channel the warp to accomplish a wide variety of things.[8]
- Scum - Criminals, outcasts, thieves, and other miscreants, this class of rogues has a variety of useful skills involving stealth, infiltration and social interaction with less-honest members of Imperial society.[9]
- Tech-Priest - Skilled with machines and technology, they are members of the Cult Mechanicus.[10]
- Adepta Sororitas - Commonly known as the Sisters of Battle, this career path was introduced in the Inquisitor's Handbook and is recommended for veteran players due to the roleplaying challenges involved. While superficially similar to clerics, they are even more rigid in their mindset and can perform faith talents.[11]
- Battle Sisters - This new career is added in Blood of Martyrs, it differs from the Adepta Sororitas as income has been modified and it allows characters to start with the common Sister of Battle weapons and armour.
- Grey Knight - this new career is added in Daemon Hunter, and is recommended for veteran players. It looks like a compromise variant for Dark Heresy-Deathwatch crossover.

The game itself shares many design features with WHFRP2.
On 28 January 2008, Games Workshop announced that it would close Black Industries - thereby discontinuing Dark Heresy and all the other games published by the subsidiary - to allow them to focus on the commercial success of their novels and core business.[16]
On 22 February 2008, Black Industries announced that all Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000 RPG, CCG, and select board game rights were being transferred to Fantasy Flight Games, who would continue to publish Dark Heresy.[17]
During late 2008 and 2009, Fantasy Flight started releasing autonomously-developed material for the Dark Heresy game: a collection of heretical factions to pit the player characters against titled Disciples of the Dark Gods, a monster manual called Creatures Anathema, and a mini-campaign in three parts dubbed The Haarlock Legacy.
Fantasy Flight also announced a manual on 'radical' inquisitors (covering the most extreme factions, their tactics, equipment, and most prominent figures) and a major expansion allowing players to take their characters to the rank of interrogator, bestowed with an inquisitorial rosette, enjoying augmented prestige and able to summon more powerful allies.
On 9 September 2016 Fantasy Flight announced they would be ending their relationship with Games Workshop from 28 February 2017 for all shared products including Dark Heresy.[18]
