XP Update - Prelude rewards
There will be another post to take you to the next adventure, but its just a scene translation. Nothing much to do there, and thus more XP coming. Haxtes has been more active than Maxi, so he gets a little more XP. He also get's a little extra role-pl… more »
Check out new downloads section
I've added a sidebar link listing; it has a few external links, but also contains a link to the downloads section.
You can find the Assassin Career writeup there. I'll put up the rest as soon as possible - the assassin is just a sneak-peak on what… more »
Things to do - update
The rules set is getting close to completion. I'm working through the Talents now, altering some and assigning a fixed XP cost to them. A few might be removed and some new ones added in. I've also more or less completed the Arbitrator Career, up to Rank… more »
Timestamps
A short explanation regarding the 'Timestamp' feature. The first entry is an indication of how certain the date is (on a 0-9 scale). The lower the number, the more certain the date is. For example a '0' means the event took place on Terra, while a '9'… more »
Notes on prelude 'adventures'
I'm not expecting you to write long pieces; just write as often and as much as you want, and I'll move the story forward as needed, using new posts or adding to yours as needed. The point for you is making a few key decisions (i.e. go for the bridge or… more »
Characteristics
When it comes to characteristics I'm tempted to drop one; Perception (in WFRP its part of Intelligence, which works well enough). It seems to me that no matter how you look at it the mental stats (Int, Per, WP, Fel) are not on part with the physical… more »
Character generation
I'm making some tweaks to character generation.
1. All PCs that are Imperial humans start with base stats of 25+2d10.
That won't change the number you've rolled, but it will increase your stats somewhat. Why? Because I want you to be a bit better… more »
News update
A few updates; the Green Knights got an update based on Haxtes' background + the fact that the Black Crusade hasn't started yet. Also I finally found some good galactic maps that showed that Calixis is actually located on the far side of the Eye of… more »
When and where
As previosuly stated the campaign will be placed in Calixis Sector, the official DH setting. Calixis lies in Segmentum Obscurus, trailing (left) of Scarus Sector (setting for the Eisenhorn/Ravenor books), placing it close to the Halo Stars and with the E… more »

Background update
I've updated the entry for general galactic situation to take into account the altered start date (from 999 to 996). I've also altered the dates and layout for the Protasian astropathic messages. more »
System check
To: Haxtes/Maximilian Can you check if you got an e-mail regarding the re-post of Maximilian's last background entry. I added some text and then saved with new date. Just want to know if that generates an e-mail to subscribers or not. more »
Look and feel - a little old school influence
I'm sure each and every 40k player/reader has his own mental imagery pertaining to how things look and what the world 'feels' like. Most likely those images are heavily influence by 40k artwork. Artwork has always been one of the game's fortes, supplying… more »
The galaxy is a big place: Size of Calixis
Just a little somthing to give you an idea of the scale of Calixis sector:The Calixis sector is located at the very edge of the main galactic disk, but seeing as it is adjacent to Scarus Sector is seems likely the main bulk of Calxis is at the rimwar… more »
