[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 4678617, member: 1164"] Unfortunately it will probably be class based like Dark Heresy. I’m not happy with how the W40K RPGs feel to me to be more limited in scope than WFRP. WFRP, while focusing on the Empire, still covered a lot of ground and had lots of character options and gamestyle options even if the rules material was somewhat shallow. DH focused rules in depth on playing Inquisitors. It gave a lot for that, but the main other thing the book seemed useful for would be playing a Necromunda-style game if the whole party took the Ganger Scum Class. [B]EDIT: [/B] And I’ll take ganger scum over ][nquisitor lapdogs anyday, thank you much. I got no qualms with the ultra-grimdark setting & playing a doomed character is fine by me. But I’m not too thrilled with playing a patsy for the corpse cult that has co-opted Humanity’s destiny. Only Dark Heresy campaign I’d be interested in playing would be one with the goals of to [I]finish[/I] killing the Emporer and keeping the empire of man intact long enough so the Emperor can be reborn. Unfortunately I’d [I]strongly[/I] suspect GW would[B] forbid [/B]a published product with that storyline. [/QUOTE]
