[QUOTE="alienux, post: 7033790, member: 6801841"] This weekend I'm going to be doing a game night with a different group than I usually DM for. We'll be playing board games (Space Hulk, Castle Ravenloft, etc.), but it was brought up that some of the players would [I]possibly[/I] like to do a one-off game of D&D using characters they have from Dark Heresy. Since it will be a one-off, they likely won't consider the game as canon for their characters, and we're not concerned with the fact that there will be Space Marines in a D&D setting in this game. I'll use bow/crossbow rules for their storm bolters, and try to apply appropriate class features as well as possible. We won't be overly concerned with everything being perfect, just fun. This will obviously be a big departure from the normal D&D games I run (well, because of the characters, not because of the fun aspect :p ). While I am a huge Space Hulk fan, my W40K experience begins and ends with that particular board game, so I have no experience with any other Warhammer or Warhammer 40K games, much less Dark Heresy. I've looked at the Dark Heresy character sheet, and I think I can manage converting skills, attributes, etc., but has anyone else attempted this before or is anyone familiar with Dark Heresy who may have any advice?
